I have no idea why, but whenever I try to transfer Files from My 84SE to my computer, I get an Acces Denied Error, and then the file gets corrupted on my calculator. When I try to run, it crashes or freezes. When I try to edit, it fills the screen with garbage.
Are there any alternatives? I tried Tilp, but that didn't work.
-
Well tilp really is the only alternative what errors do you get?
-
hmm, was it grouped?
-
Nope, just in ram. When I try to copy it to pc, it starts copying it, but then a box pops up that says Acces denied, and then a bunch of numbers. It gives the options to skip, retry, or cancel.
I've never had this problem before, and I've used Ti-Connect quite a bit.
-
Did you try archiving it and then reseting your ram?
If that doesn't work try archiving it and resending your OS, something might have corrupted it somehow.
-
hmm, try grouping it or something, test to see if that works, and if that doesn't, try sending it to another calc if you can and see if that works
-
Maybe your calculator batteries are low?
I notice that TI-Connect works better after I replace the batteries in my calc.
-
If you've tried all the on-calc solutions, have you tried running your linking programs under an admin account, or installing them under one? I've found in some places that being admin is good. Else... I dunno what I can say that hasn't been said already.
Or you can try your luck at TiLP. If you choose to go that route, however, you MUST uninstall TI-Connect completely. Otherwise, there will be driver conflicts and bad things will happen. Oh, and be sure to install (and use) it as an admin.
-
change the batteries that normally works i have the same problem with my comp
if it is still giving u problems with it after that check to make sure ur not in the virtual calc (the on + mode thing omnicalc gives) as that will cause a compleat fail and force u to resend your os
if all that fails try a different computer thats all i can say
hope it helps

Ti-Connect worked just fine for me to for a while. Then I got those "Access Denied" messages at random times and these other stupid messages like them. I changed to TILP. It took a while because it kept telling me I didn't have the right files etc. (probably whats happening to you) but then when it was installed(Finally) no stupid error messages for no apparent reason.:)
-
Alright, it must have had somthing to do with TiOCnnect, because I insdtalled it on my new computer and everything works great. So, no Tilp for me
-
I know on some computers in particular, you wouldn't even be able to transfer calc games over the serial link cable, no matter how hard you tried and if you tried all softwares, even TiLP. One school had all computers serial ports desactivated once, if I remember. As a result, I was unable to transfer stuff to my calc or to the PC from May 2003 to April 2004,when I got a home computer
-
What i'm thinking what happened, is that originally low batteries caused the AccessDenied error, and then when i tried TiLP, it screwed up the driver or something, and caused TiConnect to fail completely.
Doesn't matter though, because I bought my own computer so I wouldn't have to share with family (:)) and it works fine on there!
-
i'm such a noob when it comes to programming, but i also had this problem a couple times. All i did was restart the computer and it started working.
-
TI-Connect seems to have problems with TI84+SE's for some reason, and I've read somewhere that USB cables don't work with TiLP(windows version); if anybody else has this problem try reseting your calc's ram and restarting your computer, then try sending/receiving again, that should fix that problem.
-
I have TI84+SE, and use USB. Somehow, TI-Connect never detects me, and I think it's because I never had the CD that came with the calc (I got my TI84 by trading TI83+ with my friend) so I tried TiLP. TiLP works very well with TI84+SE, but the only problems I got was that I couldn't send anything in archived state, grouped files were ungrouped before sending files, and lastly couldn't send any pic variables(consequently, can't play many games requiring pic vars :'(

It never worked? What OS do you have, and do you know if the cable works? I've used the TI-Connect off of there website maybe there is a way to resolve this problem, I know that TI-Connect can send everything fine, if not as fast as TiLP.

That's interesting! I have the same exact problem with TiLP under Linux(Ubuntu 9.04), I cannot send any picture variables. So this may be a bug, unfortunetly the main programmer of TiLP had stopped working on it from what I've heard. This means that there may be no bug fix, but maybe someone that's skilled in C/C++ can fix it? All we can do is hope I guess...

I have the newest OS, 2.43, and for the cable, I use the exact same one for TiLP and works fine. So I am guessing it's either I installed it wrong, (however, I uninstalled it and installed it at least 5 times, with lots of googles) or my calc doesn't like TI-Connect
-
Ok, but what I meant what was, what is the operating system of your computer(vista, xp, linux, etc...) ;). Also, have you had TiLP installed before you ever used TI-Connect? I've had problems with that because the 2 drivers for the calc conflict with one another.
-
I have XP service pack 2, and yes, I have uninstalled TiLP. Actually, I installed TI connect first, but then since it didn't work, uninstalled it and installed TiLP.
-
idk, but often problems with linking softwares are due to the computer itself or broken windows files. Often, the only way to fix connection problems are to reformat the entire computer. I could be wrong, tho, since I am one of the very few people who still use an old serial link cable
-
and lastly couldn't send any pic variables(consequently, can't play many games requiring pic vars :'(
I think I might have found a fix (or at least a work-around). If it gives you an "Invalid Name Error" (this is the error I got):
1) Send it like normal. Hit "Close" on the box that shows up informing you of the error. When it then prompts for retry/skip/cancel, hit "skip".
2) Send it again. This time it should say the name is already in use, and it will ask if you want to rename or overwrite. Hit "rename". In the box that prompts for the new name, you should see that the old name has the number as a subscript. Change it to a normal number and the pic should transfer fine.
I've only been able to test this with one computer (running Ubuntu 9.04(jaunty)) and one calculator (TI-84+SE with OS v2.43) so I have no idea if this will work for anyone else.

LISTEN UP EVERYONE -- I FOUND OUT THE ANSWER
Ti-Connect is incredibly stupid. It will not allow you to transfer files to your calculator unless you are running the latest operating system on your calculator. For me, as soon as I upgraded to 2.55 mp for TI-84+, everything worked perfectly.
The reason that when you reboot w/o internet connection and it works fine is that TI-Connect always connects to the internet upon boot-up to check if you are running the latest OS. Don't ask me why. It's either a blindingly stupid bug, or a stupendously short-sighted feature.
Tell all your friends.

Holy necropost Batman!
Welcome to Omnimaga, by the way :) (And try to avoid necroposting if possible)
Also, I use 2.43 and have never had problems with TI-Connect, so that probably isn't the case ;)
-
I could send files fine with OS 1.13 ???
Welcome here, though.

That's not right... I've been using 2.43 ever since I got my calc, and it has always worked for me. (Well, not always... TI Connect is quite stupid no matter what OS you use >_>)

Also some people had more troubles with newer OSes than older ones. :P
