Total Posts: 10 | I have put calculators games on my TI-84 plus in the past, so I know it has worked. But wanting extra ram and archive space, I removed most of the applications that come on the calculator. I kept transform, login, and finance. Now, transfers of any kind will not work. Official Texas Instrument downloads, games, simple programs, I just keep getting an error message saying the transfer did not work. I think one of the apps i removed was necessary for transfer.(possibly the cbl/cbr application) HELP Please!
Note: I did not delete the apps totally, I have them backed up on my computer so I can transfer them back to my calc if it'd work. |

If you can tell me exactly what the err message said I probably will be able to help you more. The more detail the better.

It is much easier to suggest solutions when you know nothing about the problem. |

Total Posts: 689 | Hmm...I think I remember a similar error happening to me once. I can't remember what I did about it. You are using TI Connect v.1.6, right?
Speaking of 1.6, what I hate is that there was a program editor in the beta but not in 1.6, except on macs. Stupid mac-only editor!

Total Posts: 10 | thanks for clearing it up for me that i didn't take off anything important. I believe the message said Unable to Communicate, USB transfer error. I am using usb mini to usb and i have tried it on most of my usb ports. I am also running Ti-connect v1.6. This software works for my brother's character though, and if it doesn't work soon i plan on trying a program transfter using the calc to calc cable. |

Just go open up the asm catagory and start checking them out :)

Total Posts: 1189 | If a game doesn't show up in your Mirage folder, then you probably have to run it from the homescreen. If it's a BASIC game, just run it. If it's an ASM game, go to the catalog by hitting 2nd-0, scroll to ASM(, hit enter, select the program from the menu, hit enter, and run it.

Total Posts: 10 | I could've started a new thread w/this question but i guess i'll just ask it in here. Today I tried to send a game(tetris) from my ti-84 plus to a ti-83 plus calculator using a basic link cord. It said an error occured in transfer, something like an xmit transfer error. I have successfully sent programs and apps to a ti8plus in the past but this calc won't let me send anything to it, not basic programs, games, or apps. is there anything i can do to get the transfer to work? what exactly is an x-mit error? |

Total Posts: 689 | X-mit error is any error that occurs during linking. In order to send correctly, the recieving calc must start the link first and within a second or so the sending calc must send. But you probably knew that.
