What is preventing you from removing them ?

I try tugging at the black things and nothing happens at all. What should I do?

Here's a quick photo I took of the things

EDIT: Problem looks like it's going to be fixed, just needed a pair of pliers

I guess the best option is to try to downgrade instead to 3.2.4

Since that's impossible, the only option would be to sell your calc on Ebay to cover the purchase of an older one, but when buying another used Nspire, ask the seller what's the serial number on the back first and what OS the machine runs. Else, the other option is to buy a different calculator model instead (assuming your school allows it). The Nspire will only get more and more locked down as time goes by.

Hi DJ Omnimaga,

I decided to upgrade thinking benefit would happen & it didn't in a major way.

I wanted the nicety of being able to read .pdfs & download others programs.

It wasn't a need but a want.....as long as an MePro type program is made...I'll stick to what I have.
I can't afford another 3.2.1 OS Nspire CX CAS....Viewing .pdf's is nothing really...Using other people's created programs
I can still do via the LUA programs made.

Thank you sir for all your help,
Stefos

Actually, there are some great news from Critor and TI-Planet regarding PDF reading: They have now released MViewer CX, which doesn't require Ndless (unlike the other MViewer app) and is supported by OS 3.6, taking advantage of the Lua improvements over the last few OS updates: http://tiplanet.org/forum/viewtopic.php?t=13663&p=154791#p154791

It also has image support with zooming (which is apparently not slow, due to how much faster image support is in OS 3.2 or higher compared to 3.1. The app is supposed to work on older OSes as well.

The converter requires a TI-Planet account, though. Hopefully you can manage to sign up even if you don't speak French.

DJOmnimaga,

You're the man brother!

Thank you,

P.S......Going to tiplanet right now! 9:14pm ET

I got mViewer to work on ndless but when I get on 3.6 and try to start it all I get is "This document format is not supported. mviewer_cx.tns"

For 3.6 you need mViewer CX, not mViewer.

Does anyone have any good usb ttl converter that they used? Where could I buy it online?

Hey springyboy, if you haven't seen already on page 2 of this thread, here's a nice link http://www.amazon.com/NooElec-Adapter-Harnesses-Jumper-Compatible/dp/B009GXEF8A/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1386856661&sr=1-4&keywords=usb+to+ttl+converter

No : mViewer GX is for 3.X (especially 3.2 - 3.6) since it's made in Lua
And mViewer CX is for 3.1 with Ndless (so obviously this won't work on 3.2 - 3.6 since Ndless 3.1 is for, well... 3.1)

thanks adriweb because I am using 4.1 mv cx.
does mViewer GX require a program to work? or with the link you provided to GX do I just convert the image and directly onpen the image in the calculator? because I can't find a program for GX anywhere

I thought I figured out my problem. I was only using mViewer 4.1 which so for ndless only so I tried using mv3.3 on OS3.6 but I still get the same exact error "This document format is not supported. mviewer_cx.tns"
This error also occurs when I try to open at xxx.png.tns file (not made with GX, just renamed)

***Is there a mViewer GX that converts images instead of only pdfs?***
nvm, I'm reading that it does do images. trying it now


EDIT: Thanks for clearing this up for me adriweb, is there anyway to get an offline version of this program?
