<p>I can plug it into the computer and the computer itself recognizes it but TI Connect is clueless that it's even there</p>
<p>I have tried using EVERY USB port (like 6 of them) and none of them work with it!</p>
<p>I just got this calculator too!</p>
<p>and yes, the teacher told us we could download this particular program. none of this cheating business.</p>
<p>but how am i supposed to do that if my TI Connect fails me! </p>
<p>Help!</p>
<p>abra kadabra 89 into Einstein!</p>
<p>try now- i'vfe worked my magic</p>
<p>mm I'd try their tech support.</p>
<p>Just out of curiosity, how do you like the 89? I use an 84 but I'm curious what features the 89 has.</p>
<p>Hmm. Maybe the shading of the numbers is too light.</p>
<p>Try moving the arrows down to make the numbers darker. My friend played it as a prank on me once, and I started crying because I thought my calculator was dead. Then he quickly gave it back to me and fixed it. Needless to say, I felt like an idiot. No I am not a crybaby.</p>
<p>MY FRIEND DID THAT TO ME TOO!!!!!! sorry, weird coincidence. Except he made it totally dark and told me that it was because I had dropped it earlier.</p>
<p>haha, anisha, i too have done that</p>
<p>that's not the issue though</p>
<p>my calc works just fine, it just won't connect to the computer</p>
<p>ooh and tickytock it save a lot of gruntwork. i too had a TI 84 and loved it, but the 89 solves for X (yes...i can be lazy!) and does deriv, anti-deriv, even fourier transforms</p>
<p>It's a lovely calculator. Takes a bit of getting used to, but I recommend it</p>
<p>now can someone else, perhaps a computer science major, help me out? :)</p>
<p>Try clearing the memory?</p>
<p>I've had that problem before.
You have to uninstall the usb drive on your computer and then plug your calculator back in. It should work then.</p>
