I have tried repeatedly over the last few days to sync up my fitbit One using Fitbit Connect on both my computer and my tablet. For some reason the fitbit does not appear available. I have done the following
1. Updated Computer to latest version of Fitbit Connect
2. Updated Tablet to latest version
3. Ensured the Tablet and bluetooth was off when trying to sync through computer
4. Ensured my Fitbit was the most updated version
5. "Rebooted" my Fitbit
6. Rebooted both computer and tablet
7. Fitbit is on and near the device, heck one time I even laid it on top of the tablet so it was definitely close.
I've had my fitbit One for maybe 3 years but this last year I have had repeated problems with getting it to sync. On the tablet I get the message that no device is found, on computer I get Not Working? and a list of things to try which I have done. What's the deal here? Is there a self destruct in this thing so I go out and buy a new fitbit?

I am having the same issues for the whole month of Apr. I am still wearing the device as a guide, but am unable to get it to sync. I have wasted way too much time trying to uninstall, reinstall, sync, trying all suggestions I've read on this forum, still nothing! I'm done. I will not waste any more time with this. Now I am looking for an alternative. Too bad, it was great while it worked. Get your act together Fitbit and fix this!

This sounds EXACTLY like my issue. Have had my FB One for three years, and last good sync was April 18. I too have tried all you tried, and also (before reading response from FP) removed my device and added new device, then tried replacement device. All to no avail. I have verified that Fitbit Connect is running, but nothing I do will let me sync.
I too am wondering if there is a self distruct app running 🙂 and am doing my last check on forums before I replace it. Since I have not been able to sync in over a month, I am not feeling married to the FitBit any more and though, will still consider one, will also be looking at other choices.

I finally got mine to sync. Had to connect my charge device to the computer I sync to and restart my Fitbit One by holding down the button for 10 seconds. I then unplugged it and restarted. (Per instructions from support I knew it had restarted when I saw 6.60 in the window of the device) I then went to Fitbit Connect on my computer and pressed Sync Now. It is now sync'd. Now waiting to see if it gets back to self syncing. If not, then will be time for a replacement.

Thank you so much dbclark52, for posting this info. I was having trouble syncing my Fitbit one for the past few hours. I rebooted like you did and then synced on my computer and it's working perfectly again!!! THANK YOU!!!!!

my preference for syncing my Fitbit has always been through my pc. Several months ago, after the last update, i keep getting a message "no internet connection found". I don't have a problem with internet so I know it is related to that fitbit connect update. I can sync through my iPhone no problem however that is not my preference (don't like having another app running in the background). No one has ever given me a solid solution. Good luck in your endeavor to resolve your issue.

My sync for my tablet hasn't worked since 05-Aug. Everytime I try to sync it says the device can't be connected or to try again later. Bluetooth is working fine on my tablet as I can use my Bluetooth headphones without a problem, It also syncs OK with my laptop.I find this frustrating as it doesn't work with my mobile phone either and I like to check my steps when doing a long walk or run.
