Kristen replied to David Cintron's discussion 'PDM & Windows VM on OS X' in the group OmniPod Users"I'm sorry for not being clear! I did mean in your uninstall a program (under the control panel) area. When I went into mine the first time the OmniPod Extension/PSR was not installed so that was my problem. It looks like you have everything you…"
Kristen replied to David Cintron's discussion 'PDM & Windows VM on OS X' in the group OmniPod Users"I am a Windows user but was getting the exact same error messages that you are. I finally ended up talking with someone at Insulet. He had me pull up my list of programs and asked how many I had for Omnipod. Long story short, when I downloaded the…"
Kristen replied to Kristen's discussion 'CoPilot Issue' in the group OmniPod Users"So I broke down and called Abbott to see what the problem is. They tried a few things and could not resolve the issue. They then transferred me over to Insulet who has to call me back when the correct representative is available. I am starting to…"
Kristen replied to Kristen's discussion 'CoPilot Issue' in the group OmniPod Users"I wait until it says "USB device ready" but still no luck... :("
Kristen replied to Kristen's discussion 'CoPilot Issue' in the group OmniPod Users"I just looked to see if I needed to change it and when I go into the admin account, that account won't even give me the option of downloading. Very bizarre... I guess I should stop avoiding the inevitable and call the product support number."
barbraann replied to Kristen's discussion 'CoPilot Issue' in the group OmniPod Users"There is a number that I've called for help. You can call the Pod help line and they can give you the numer. I remeber having issues early on too."
HPNpilot replied to Kristen's discussion 'CoPilot Issue' in the group OmniPod Users"Hmm...not sure what is going on, you also have to wait until the PDM is ready before trying to download...if you try it too fast after plugging in the cable, it wont work. It says "preparing file" or something like that on the PDM before…"
Rebecca replied to Kristen's discussion 'CoPilot Issue' in the group OmniPod Users"Ok, so I don't know if this is your problem but for a while I was running my copilot software on a user account instead of an administrator account on my computer. Turned out it could not download unless I was on an administrator account.…"

CoPilot Issue
So I have been on my Omnipod for a little over a week and am ready to download my data off of it. The problem is, every time I try (by going to dataentry and telling it to read my pdm) it says that an unexpected error has occurred and tells me to try again. I have done this several times and can not seem to figure out what the problem is. Has anyone else had this problem? I just want to see how I am doing before an appointment with my educator next week. :)See More
ENDSwME replied to Kristen's discussion 'How long...' in the group OmniPod Users"To me it usually is. Its good to hear that you are adjusting to it and actually enjoying it. There are tons of negative things people have to say about it, but I feel like all pumps have their drawbacks; you just have to pick the one that will fit…"
smileandnod replied to Kristen's discussion 'How long...' in the group OmniPod Users"Just dropping in to say hellooo to all the other new podders here! :) I started my first pod exactly 2 weeks ago tomorrow and I'm loving everything about it. It's been a really easy adjustment from me from MDI and I love not having to do…"
