crap, i am trying to connect my calculator to my computer but it wont connect
all i get is Com3 and Com1 with ticonnect and none of them show my calculator
i know that it is not my calculators problem because i can connect it to other calculators and download stuff
anyone know what is wrong or what i could do/try?

btw:i have a ti84 plus silver edition
and i have tried installing ticonnect on a different computer
and i have a black cable (not sure what type)

I had the same problem with the cable that came with my calculator, I went to Staples got a silver cable and it started working. Try that.

did you install Connect first, or plug in the calculator.

Btw, your black cable, does it plug into a USB port?

hmm... i have the exact same thing as you (84+ SE) and my cable works just fine (the one that came with the calculator).

ok, but the question was if you plugged the calc to computer first, or installed TI-Conncet.

hmm, well i can't exactly remember, but when i got my new comp, i plugged the calc in first, and it actually installed TI-CONNECT for me (or maybe that last part was my imagination

)

had to be your imagination. You need to install Connect first.

really...hmmm man i must be crazy o.o

ticonnect was already installed when i put my calculator in
also i tried another black cable that fit (but it was for recharging a device) same result

what should it say when you connect your calculator with a black cable? is in under com1 and com3?

Did you install the cable itself? Go to add new hardware and it should locate it, after doing that TI Connect should give you the USB option.

I GOT IT TO WORK!!!!

ok heres what to do if anyone else gets the same problem
after you install ti connect, plug in your calc
when you plug in your calc you should get box poping up. it has three options yes, this time only, yes, and every time, and no, not now
select no not now then click next, the rest is obvious(click yes if it when it says that the driver is registered my microsoft)
