    Status: Answered => Open

bikeham is still having a problem:
I plug it in, the red and blue lights are both on.  I press the button  
on the i-gotu and blue light flashes.

I run igotu2gpx and this is returned:

Security version: 0

Unable to download trackpoints from GPS tracker: Device responded with

I am plugging it in directly into my iMac running Snow Leopard.
