I can confirm it's not the lead, Top service from AP (they tested a lead at the workshop and sent me it) arrived today. Download still only got to 2%

I dont have a PDA or MP3, so could this Hotsync you mentioned be used for a minidisc player???? that's the only other device we use with a USB on the laptop and that works fine.

its only usually used for devices you can write to.. PDAs and MP3s are the most common, but some phones and other synced storage devices (not USB hard drives) also use hotsync/active sync.. I believe activesync also has a problem.. If I remember correctly the icon that shows up in your system tray is a circle with 2 arrows (red and blue I think)

Now I'm all confused

I don't understand why it shouldn't work.

I've just installed my software onto my Dell laptop and I installed the AP stuff first. When I plugged in the USB connection it asked me if I wanted to install the drivers from the CD so I clicked yes please and it says it succcessfully installed it. I've had it on here before and it worked fine. On my desktop I've got Hotsync and it has been working fine on there too.

I didn't use the software that came with the cable, I used the one on the AP disk. But I can't see why any of that should make it download to about 5% and then fail.

Unfortunately I can't test my head out till tonight as it is at Beanies. I've got to download it anyhow so will let you know if it works or not.

If you go into Control Panel>System>Hardware>DeviceManager then down to the Ports you should see the connection in there, is it all running ok? Maybe troubleshooting might re-do it.

Sorry I can't be of much help, they're just little things I keep thinking of

I had the down load upto 60% last night then it failed again. The only thing i can think off is the low power voltage from the USB not being e-nuff.

So i have bought today a USB hub which is supposed to boost the USB voltage. Dont know if it will work but it's worth a try. As the shop i bought it from said that if it does not work i can return it for a full refund.

I will let you know how i get on.

Hiya...

Sorry Gareth it uploaded straight off here

It could be therefore that you need a little bit more umpfh in your laptop... but me and that side of computers do not go together well

Maybe one of the IT bods on here might be able to help

Well Guys and Gals i can confirm it was the USB power!!!!

Used the USB hub when i got home from work tonight.......30% failed

tried again this time 5%

Switched USB power manager to Real time.........80% failed GUTTED. kept trying and after about 5 more atempts........100%

Not perfect as it should work first time everytime, but at least i can now get it too work even if it takes a fair few go's.

Thanks everyone for your replies and help on this matter, we will see how many attempts it takes next time i download.
