Hi i accidentally erased my Casio PRIZM!!!
« on: July 10, 2011, 12:44:39 pm »
It's my first time owning a graphing calculator, and decided to pick this one up instead of the TI Nspire CX CAS as i am really brand new into the use of them. I got it today, and after playing for a while i decided to RESET Setup Memory,Main Memory and Storage!!. Add-ins i didn't touch them. I don't even have picture plot images, thought the calc would have a "restore to factory settings" option, but i don't see it. Please, can someone guide me and place the files here??

I'm really curious and would know how to use my new PRIZM. Thanks!!!
(The reason i got this, is because everyone in Venezuela uses Casio calcs. If i was living in the states maybe i would get a CX Cas from Vernier, i want something easy and reliable to use. I'm just starting calculus on college).

The reset that you did was actually a kind of "reset to factory settings" option. :) It removes all of your content and sets the settings to their default values. However, since Casio places a few example images on all new calculators, these have now been deleted. You won't need them in order to use the Prizm - they're just examples. However, if you want to download them to your calculator, you can do it here: http://edu.casio.com/products/cg_series/materials.html

Also, you can find the add-ins here in case you lose them: https://edu.casio.com/download_service/

To transfer files from your computer to your calculator, connect it using the USB cable. A message should appear on the Prizm screen - press F1 when you see it. In your computer, the calculator will now look and act like a USB flash drive.

Hmm, that's strange. When did it show you that? After clicking on a file that you wanted to download?

Just do File>Save and you can save it as whatever file you want.

EDIT: Darn, ninja'd.

it's not strange, the same thing happens with the TI-84 OS.  Safari thinks it should display the file instead of trying to download it, so you have to manually download it.

Ah, okay. I thought that Safari would be smart enough to not display a file that it doesn't know anything about. :P

So the picture plot images are the only thing that i erased in storage?? Or there's more and i haven't been aware of. is the Prizm compatible with mac? (haven't even connected to the usb yet) I'm gonna eat lunch, after ... i will manually place all the files into the prizm. Thanks, i'll keep you guys posted!

Also should i update to the new software, available as of today on Casio's site?

I think those were the only ones that were deleted.

You can send files to and from the calculator using any operating system, including Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. However, I think Casio's emulator and Prizm OS updates are for Windows only.

You can do it if you want to, but the new update doesn't seem to add any new functions.
