Unable to sent files tó the Ti-84+; connection error.
« on: May 17, 2011, 05:01:12 am »
Out of the blue I'm suddenly getting "unable to connect; please check your connection" errors when putting new files to the calculator.
It can still connect with TI-Connect, and it;s still possible to delete files from the calc using TI-Connect, so it's still making good connection. Only when trying to put something ón the calc (fróm the calc is'nt a problem) it states that it can't make a connection. I've just changed to new batteries, so it's not due to low battery state (plus, that gives a different error message anyway). Any thoughts?
Thank you!

Eh, you should try TiLP. TI-Connect is sometimes giving random errors.

and if that doesn't work, try archiving your important stuff/backup on computer and RAM reset.
That seemed to work for me when I had this problem :P

BTW, what's with the O's? they have accents. ???

Of course, first thing I did. Wouldn't post here unless I went trough all your usual have-you-tried-turning-it-off-and-on-again solutions. ;)

Also one of the first things I did. Nothing helped.
And the "O's" have accents to... accentuate them, ghehe.


I'll try using TiLP now then, thank you for the replies. I'll edit to let you know wether that worked or not, thanks.

EDIT:

Well, TiLP doesn't seem to start at all... I've removed Ti Connect beforehand (obviously; you get >9000 warnings before installing TiLP). I'll be messing on for a while now then. :c

Make sure to completely uninstall TI-Connect and its drivers before installing TiLP.

Ah yes, I remember when I forgot to do that in '09 and they corrupted each other. :/

Yeah true. I personally had this issue with TI Connect before. Sometimes I had to use TiLP instead, other times it started working again a few weeks later, even with no reboot.

Welcome back Jerros, by the way.

Ghehe, thanks; still working on my 'project', just haven't ran into any trouble lately so there was no need to bother you guys here. ^_^

In other news; I'm unable to access the pc for some days, but I'll post whenever something did/didn't work. Thank you!

Could you maybe introduce your game in the Other Calc-related games and projects section? We always like to know what projects are running.

Uhm, sure! Though it probably won't be anywhere near finished anytime soon, since I'm working on it for only a couple of hours per week... Plus it seems I can't take screenies when running an APP, but I'll figure that out (hopefully).
More on-topic, tomorrow I'll see what to do to get a linking programm working, and hopefully take some screenshots regarding the 'project'.
Managed to get TiLP working (what a battle that was), so problem solved I guess (or more like avoided). Thank you all for the advice!

It doesn't connect? Or do you have trouble to install and run the programm?
TiLP must be the most horrible programm to install... But once you get the hang of it, it's working quite well.

Ah, well then the hard part is done already. I don't have acces to my stuff right now, but out of the top of my head, you must right click in the left window (the one where your connection is supposed to be showing) and then select 'connection settings' or something similar. There you should put it on 'auto detect' (again, I'm not sure wether it's called exactly that) and your cable and calc shóuld show. Now just press connect and it should be working.

If it doesn't, it can be because you still have traces of TI-connect, or older/other drivers of the usb installed. Remove everything from the pc and install TiLP again, and it should work.
