From time to time TI Connect does this and I usually can fix it by restarting my computer. This time it's being really weird though. I've restarted twice, re-installed my OS once, cleared all ram once, changed batteries and (because I just backed up everything this morning) cleared all memory twice. It still shows this message every time I try to send something, no matter what file I send from any folder.

Didn't work :(

This has happened to me in the past too, did you try using TiLP, I have gotten no success with TI-Connect for the past year, and TiLP works great.
-
No I haven't, what's that? *.*
-
Topic title should have been "TI-Connect is a piece of garbage", but again most people know this, so I guess the current title is fine too. I had this happen once but I tried again (reconnecting my calc before doing so) and it worked again. Some people like you definitively didn't have the same luck as me, though. >.<

LOL, do you mean "TI-Connect is a piece of s**t" ? :-\

Totally, it's such crap; it always has some problem with it...
-
indeed :P
Ti connect don't really have problem with me (transfer etc work fine), but if I leave it on my computer, Ti connect made him crash ><
-
Lol. The only thing I use it for now is to send OS's over Silverlink, because it's somehow broken in Tilp (via DirectUSB it works fine though but my 83+se doesn't have it).

It is an alternate program to TI-Connect for sending files to calculators:

Outdated link warning ! Grab it from here : http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/news.html

Getting TILP from http://ourl.ca/4010/360344 would be even better :)
ClrDraw: as indicated by the README, you'll have to follow a manual procedure and install a "filter driver" for TILP to work. That sucks from a user's POV, but the culprit is a fundamental Windows limitation. Windows hates having more than one driver for a given piece of hardware. Having to install such workarounds is not a problem of TILP itself.
-
The mere fact that wincrap requires drivers to communicate with USB devices is already a limitation.
-
Thanks for the links, I can't install it now though cause I don't have admin privileges :( IDK if the owner of this computer will let me install it, but I'll try...
-
Yeah, without admin privileges, you're toast.
It's not so different on Linux, that said - one needs to be root for a short time as well, either for installing a package (when there's a suitable one for the distro and it's not outdated), or adding a udev file which triggers read+write access to non-root users.
-
What? I never needed to install a driver. Is this the same driver gCn uses?
-
What? I never needed to install a driver.
Well, for the purposes of communicating with a device in vendor-specific class, you did :)
If you didn't install the filter driver, then you must have erased TI's driver, otherwise you'd need the filter driver.
Is this the same driver gCn uses?
AFAIK, the gCn client doesn't require libticables to be installed, so I'd say no. Plus one of the gCn bridges doesn't need a driver because it uses HID class (like the HP Prime). The limited speed of HID isn't a problem for a gCn bridge, but it is a significant problem for handling large amounts of data on a Prime.
-
It's working again! :D I didn't do anything, it's so random...
-
That's strange. I know I had issues when using a serial cable where TI-Connect would randomly stop detecting my calc for no reason, even after a reboot, then the next day, work again, but I never had it happen with direct USB nor silverlink (except that one time mentionned earlier, which was solved by disconnecting then reconnecting the calc).
-
Connect used to not detect my calc a few times a while ago, but it doesn't do that anymore.
-
TI Connect did the "Error device does not recognize the command" again this morning and I FIXED IT FOR GOOD! I installed the newer version from education.ti.com and it works now. I guess the older version didn't like me? ;)
