Why Is LeapFrog Not Working?

There could be a number of reasons why LeapFrog is not connecting. First, let’s look at the steps how to connect your LeapFrog product to the computer:

1. Turn LeapFrog product on and connect to your computer.
2. Download the LeapFrog Connect link in the computer and install.
3. Register a Parent Account in LeapFrog Connect.
4. Start downloading.

These are very easy steps. Now, if you are not connecting, check your batteries. Perhaps you need a fresh set. Too much LeapFrog product usage could drain your batteries early on.

If that is still not working, check out the USB cable. Are you using a different cable? Use the cable provided by LeapFrog. Actually, LeapFrog products are usually compatible with other USB cables but there are just times when products act up. If that happens, just go back to the original cable. If you lost it, then you have to look for a high-grade replacement. Just bring the product to the tech store to make sure you get the right USB cable.

Still on the issue of USB cable, perhaps you plugged it in a faulty port. Just try transferring it to the other port on your computer. Sometimes, it’s not even a matter of faulty port. There are just times when some ports won’t function with some USB cables.

If those aren’t working, then it must be your computer settings. Check the firewall settings of your computer. There are some types of antivirus software that would block some products to ensure that the computer will not be corrupted. Go to the settings of your antivirus and make sure that the LeapFrog Connect Application has not been blocked.
