When i plug in my usb stick to my laptop and place the watch near same it will transfer the data but how do i read that data (which is now on the usb stick) on my computer? Have the product registered with Garmin, have a Garmin account, down loaded the requested programme to be able to transfer data from watch but something is still wrong, cannot read/see the data on the usb stick.

It's better to use a SD card and transfer your files to a computer/laptop. From the computer/laptop you can put your files on your flash memory USB stick.

fConnecting a Bluetooth device (Select models only)If your computer has an integrated Bluetooth adapter card, it can connect to and transfer data wirelessly to other Bluetooth enabled devices, such as notebook computers, PDAs and cell phones. You can transfer data between these devices without cables and up to 10 meters range in open space.Enabling Bluetooth communications on your computer1Slide the integrated wireless device switch from the button .2Press Fn + F5 to make configuration.Note: When using a high power consumption USB device such as USB ODD, use the external device's power adapter. Otherwise, the device may not be recognized, and system shut down may result.Note:The actual maximum range may vary due to interference and transmission barriers. To get the best possible connection speed, place the device as near your computer as possible.Notes:•When you do not need to use the Bluetooth function, turn it off to save battery power.•You need to pair the Bluetooth enabled device with your computer before you can transfer data between them. Read the documentation supplied with the Bluetooth enabled device for details on how to pair the device with your computer

usb is an input on on a computer and what u stick in that is a flash drive now a flash drive just holds data its like a memory card. when u stick that in the computer it reads what ever is on that flash drive movies are not played on a usb they are played on the computer which would be by windows media player. thats what always the movie to play. usb is only to transfer data and safe data from one place to another.

You'll need a card reader to transfer the data to your PC.
These days most laptops and printer has built in card reader. But since Sony camera's use memory stick, some of them don't support memory stick. So,

• First check whether or not your printer or laptop has memory stick support, if has then use it to transfer you images. Otherwise you've to purchase a memory card reader with memory stick read support[should be available on any nearby electronic shop].
• Then remove your memory stick from your camera and connect it with your laptop.
• Open the memory card and copy your images.

at this point it sounds as though the drive itself is corrupted It is very difficult to try to get the data off once this happens and so there are data recovery places which charge into the thousands to do this.

Hi

Thanks for using FixYa. You can connect the Laptop with your Desktop using USB cable or Memory Stick and transfer the data. You can also write the data on a CD and then transfer it to desktop.

Please do rate the solution and revert for further assistance.

Thanks

it depends on what stick you have, usually you have 2 lights, one will stay on constantly indicating power, the other will be data transfer (this will flash wildly whenever data is read or written), good luck

The speed at which data is transferred via USB 2.0 all comes down to what the read/write speed of the device you are sending the data to/from is.
 
USB 2.0 sends data at 480mbps but you will need a storage device that can read/write at 480mbps to get that speed.
If your device can only read/write at lets say 200mbps than that’s the transfer speed that will be used.
 
The read/write speed of memory sticks and external hard drives very a lot and this is what will be causing your speed differences.
 
Hope this helps,

It sounds as though the problem is with your notebook, rather than the flash drive. Specifically, with the USB port you are plugging it into. If you have another USB on the notebook, try switching between the two, and see if it behaves any differently. Another thing that can cause a problem is if the USB port on your notebook is not USB 2.0. The older ports (as in, an older computer) didn't have nearly the transfer speeds of the newer standard.

Also, are you trying to run multiple USB devices on your notebook at once? That could cause problems as well.

It really depends on the age and make of the usb memory stick.
As you are on a new mac it is more than likely usb 2.

Most sticks are formatted for PC usage. Macs can read PC formatted stick but PC cannot read mac. That could slow the mounting time down.

The only thing I can suggest is, if you do not need the stick to transfer data to a PC try reformatting it with the apple disk utility. If that does not sort your problem out it is more than likely a faulty stick. They are quite cheap thees days so you could simply replace it.
