I am having the same issue. My daughter got an Ace for Christmas and when I try adding her account to my account on the app on my iPhone 8, I enter the 4 digit number and get the error message of "The operation couldn't be completed. (com.fitbit.HTTP error 500.)" I have restarted the Ace, as well as the app and my phone. I am also hoping that I don't lose my own Fitbit data in this difficulty. I am beyond frustrated and disappointed in the Fitbit company that they could not develop a smooth addition to the kids' tracker. 

 

Is my best bet to return the tracker and get another Ace or another model altogether? Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated!

I took mine back and got a replacement ace that worked perfectly.

I guess there is no resolution other than returning this Ace? No help from support at all. Options to reset, delete, or reinstall are all unsuccessful. This item was a gift from my son's school and I do not have a receipt or store to take the item back for return.

 

Any other type of help you can offer?

@drandsii thank you for getting back! Since your son's Ace is still unable to be set up, let me know what is the brand and model of the mobile device that you are trying the setup process with.

 

Also, make sure that your mobile device has the most recent Fitbit app version installed.

 

Looking forward to your response.

After being on the phone for 30 minutes the company finally told me to mail
it in and they’d replace it

@JuanJoFitbitI am very truly sorry for the late reply...been kind of crazy the last 6-9 months! I was never contacted by the support team and would like to know what to do next. I have just downloaded the latest firmware on my new Samsung Galaxy S20 and the same problem persists (I have tried Samsug Galaxy S9, Galaxy Tab A, and Iphone 6S as well as Iphone XI. I have a Fitbit Ace that I have tried many different processes to get it setup and it just does not work. Please let me know.
