Hi Folks-
I just got a new computer and would like to re-download my complete training history from my Garmin 405. The history is still on the watch and hasn't been deleted, but Garmin Training Center tells me there is nothing new to download. Is there a way to force the download? Thanks,

If it's the forerunner 405 you can go to Menu > Settings > ANT+ > Computer > Force Send. Change the Force Send value from No to Yes. Wait a couple of seconds and you should see the transmission bar working. I did this once to get an activity that did not download for unknown reasons.

Thanks -- I'd tried that, and now my Ant Agent is saying "connection failed."

Looks like you need to pair up the 405 with the ANT Stick and try the Force Send method again.

Thanks, i've been through the pairing/unpairing/repairing several times at this point and the transfer always fails. Garmin's website isn't too hot either for support.
