Garmin Mk2i failed dive import

[Sven Lehrmoser]

Hello

I did some dives and I was able to download the dives from my Garmin MK2i on August 25th.

One week later I did also two dives but then I got an error message

I am not aware that I made any updates, neither on my Macbook, nor on my Garmin

MacBook Sequoia 16.5.1

Garmin mk2I Firmware 28.00

kind regards

Please check the "libdivecomputer Protokolldatei speichern" check box, re-attempt the download and send us the log file.

Best

Konnte jetzt über MacDroid auf den MK2i zugreifen

Vielleicht hilft das weiter...

Danke schon mal für die Mühe

I think this could be the problem - MacDroid is likely to grab the MTP
connection to your Garmin watch as soon as it is connected, making it
unavailable for Subsurface.

Try uninstalling or disabling MacDroid, and then try with Subsurface again.


If this does not work, there is an alternative way to download from
Garmin devices:

Make sure your Garmin device is connected to your Mac and mounted as a
storage device (you can see a 'Garmin' folder with subfolders in
Finder). Then select this 'Garmin' folder as the location to import
dives from in Subsurface.

Hi Community,

unfortunately with the latest release of subsurface my issue is not solved.

cannot connect to my dive computer MK2i.

Anyone has an idea what I can check on my MacBook Air M2 running Sequoia 15.7

Update to Tahoe is no option as some apps I need for my work hasn´t been offically released

regards

Sven
