Where does it give you the error (when and how)? Make sure TI Connect recognizes your calculator first. Your calculator must be turned on and at the home screen.

As for alternatives, there's the third-party TiLP (http://lpg.ticalc.org/prj_tilp/), but to use it you must uninstall TI Connect completely first (since the drivers are incompatible).

Also, please give your threads relevant titles so people know if they can help you or not. I've also moved this topic to the right forum.

Huh. What calculator do you own, and what OS are you trying to transfer to it? Make sure it's the right OS (1.?? for TI-83 Plus, 2.** for TI-84 Plus).

Oh. Make sure you're dragging-and-dropping to a folder on the computer you're allowed to modify.

I think TI-Connect uploads to C:\Windows before copying it wherever it needs to go, so make sure it's allowed to copy there. Just a guess. I really have no idea.

how should i go about doing that?

Post by: calcdude84se on October 30, 2011, 08:42:12 pm

Deep, no, it doesn't. Saintrunner, don't. C:\Windows is a system folder, and TI-Connect should never touch it unless you ask it to.
Anyway, I'm surprised nobody linked thepenguin77's guide, found at http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=76 (http://www.omnimaga.org/index.php?action=articles;sa=view;article=76).
Try following that.
Edit: I also made the topic title more descriptive.
