My garmin connect wasn't synching to myfitnesspal, so I decided to disconnect and then try to reconnect, but for some odd reason I don't know how to reconnect.

Help Please!?!?

    On another discussion board about this MFP have said they are aware of a problem and are looking into it. Fingers crossed.

    Troubling! My vivofit is scheduled to arrive today. I chose it because Garmin Connect talks to MFP and the fit connects to a HRM. Hopefully, it will get fixed soon.

    So I called customer service 913-397-8200 ...and they reconnected my app with no problem. Isn't that something....so hopefully my calorie adjustment starts syncing soon

    mine worked fine on Friday, but didn't work on Sunday (not even manually syncing on the GC end). I was able to manually sync it last night (again on the GC end)...but it's still not automatically syncing today. grrrrr... :angry:

    Now and again all of the services have glitches in their mutual connections. Generlly it's an API release issue and it's fixed fairly promptly. Irritating when it does happen though.

    thanks! :)

    I really wish they would broadcast these issues (they HAVE to know who has what apps synced), so we would know something's up. :neutral_face:

    Mine was working on Saturday (29 Nov 2014), but not since. I sent an email to MFP support yesterday (01 Dec 2014) and received a reply indicating they are aware of an issue, are working to discover and fix the problem, and...stay tuned.

    It is irritating but, at least, MFP acknowledged right away; I also posted to Garmin Connect forum but haven't heard a peep.

    good luck getting a response from Garmin....from what I've read, they're worse than MFP (but better than Polar). LOL :stuck_out_tongue:

    Mine stopped working on Sun as well, and, like the rest of you, disconnected, then re-connected. As of right now it will sync activities (so, my run from my forerunner and my workout that I track manually), but it won't sync steps recorded from my vivofit. Frustrating indeed!

    There is a response on their forums identifying the problem, but suggesting that it's intermittent and now down to a backlog of traffic.

    There's no identification of an issue at the Garmin end, it seems to be all about MFP propagating traffic outbound.

    yep...it won't sync weight, either.

    mine won't sync but I thought it was down to the iphone Health app messing everything up.
    Maybe I misjudged the poor app

    yeah for now...I'm just transferring everything over manually until they fix this bug. I'm not really sure who to blame --- if it's mfp or garmin connect. But according to garmin connect, they are not even aware that it's even a problem. When I called customer service, tom told me that I was his first call about the issue.

    MFP is the only Garmin integration that's not working. That suggests problem at this end.
