Always when I try to connect my TI-84 plus to my computer using TI-connect, I have to try it like 7 times before he notices my calculater. And when I finally connect it disconnect after a few minutes (without my calculater turning off).
So how can I solve this problem or is there better software to connect my calc to my computer?
-
Generally I just use TiLP instead because I often have problems with TI Connect. TiLP is located on ticalc.org
-
!!!
REMEMBER to uninstall Ti-Connect BEFORE installing TiLP
since it completely got screwed when I didn't
-
Hmm I already installed it, without uninstalling TI-Connect.
I didn't notice anything except TiLP doesn't work. He says he can't find libticables2-2.dll
-
What OS do you have installed on your computer?
-
Windows XP.
-
32 bits or 64? If it's 64, then here comes your problem
-
Actually, almost everybody gets that stupid error message. I guess the TILP people forgot to include it in this version or something, but downloading this (http://www.megaupload.com/?d=X2INSY0A) and putting it in your main TILP program folder should fix that.
-
I had the exact same problem with TiLP and by downloading from the United-TI file, it was fixed.
But I realized that I had problem sending pic files, backup files, and group files via direct (USB) link, and changed to TI Connect.
I have no problem with TI Connect
btw i have Windows XP and believe it is 32 bit, but not sure about the bit...
-
It may be just luck, but since I moved onto my new computer, I havent had a single problem with TiConnect :/
-
The first day I installed TI-connect it worked just fine. But the next time I wanted to use it it didn't work anymore.
But how does TilP work? I read the readme but I don't understand it yet.
-
TiLP is learned through frustration, patience, and endurance. lol
Anyway, it is faster than TI Connect, and what you are doing is practically drag-and-drop from right side to left side.

Mmmkay. But can I delete files on my calc with it?
And I don't see anything that TilP is connected with my calculator.
-
But I realized that I had problem sending pic files, backup files, and group files via direct (USB) link,
Those issues are actually being addressed right now. More information can be found here (http://www.unitedti.org/index.php?s=&showtopic=8376&view=findpost&p=137264).

Yes you can delete files with TiLP and did you try right clicking, pressing something like select device, put your model/connecting method, and enter (or go or start or whatever)?

Thanks jsj795! I can now connec to my calculator :D
But when I try to delete an application I get this error:
Msg: failed to open the USB device.
Cause: Check that the USB cable is plugged in and that the calculator is turned ON! Also, check libusb and usbfs for valid permissions.
System: (1660976624) The handle is invalid.
I know for sure that the USB cable is plugged in and that the calculator is turned on. But I don't get that libusb and usbfs part ???

did u try to send the application? and if you get that message again and again, you can restart the TiLP or you need to wait for about a minute and press ready.
