My daughter's professor was unable to update the OS on her TI84. Your video was perfect and so appreciated. After I received the error at the end, I did as you said and checked the OS, It was in fact updated. Thank you
This worked so well for me. Thank you! I have been wanting to update my old TI-84 for the longest time and now it has the version 2.55 MP! Trust this guys everyone, he knows what he's doing.
Awesome! Thanks so much Andrew, I would not have figured that out on my own. Maybe so, but I know it sure would have taken much longer. I appreciate you taking time to help everyone else accomplish this important task!
Thank you. I did exactly this and it worked. I was wondering why my boyfriend's calculator (exact same model) could do things that mine couldn't. Like going up to copy a previous line. It was annoying at first, but now I needed other versions of log for my classes at uni, so I came here :D Now I can do logbase of any number, and skip up to copy previous equations. And probably a lot more that I haven't discovered yet ;) Updated from 2.40 to 2.55, on TI-84 Plus, 9th of August 2021.
You’re welcome. Texas Instruments makes a very long-lasting calculator that isn’t easy to update. I’m glad you found the video and had the initiative to follow through! A newer calculator can cost ~$120, so this is a victory in more than one way.
Thank you so much. This worked perfectly for me, I'm in college with a hand-me-down calculator and I was able to update it following exactly what you did for Windows! Trusting you was worth it!
Thank you so much for this video. It helped me tremendously! That detail of downloaded the CE version over the other program is what helped me. I tried to update it over the other system and could not get it to work. So thank you!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. my calculator was stuck on the waiting please install operating system screen. thank goodness i found this! my calculator is now back to normal!
Holy Cow!!! You know your stuff!! I was getting so exasperated thinking I wasted $60 at a pawn shop. I Googled and Googled and Googled and came across this video. And VOILA!!!! My son's calculator works like new! Thanks so much for the video:)))))))))
Thank you! I was having trouble updating a student's calculator and your video was great! I am not great technologically and ran your video, then did what it said, then played the next part, etc. I was able with no difficulty to upgrade it. Great work!
Fantastic! Thank you so much. This was a well done video and even with the updates of their website for download we were able to follow and update our Ti-84 Plus calculator. We really appreciate your video.
Thank you so much I've been trying to update my calculator for the longer and came across this video it truly did help so thank you for making this video
Thank you so much I've been struggling to update my calculator and this has helped SOOO much. This is a great video and very clear for anyone who was wondering.
Thank you so much for this. Saved me. money and time. Also thanks for being super easy to follow along, and perfect explanations. to the point no time wasted at all!!!
I have to remind everybody that DON'T disconnect your calculator from your computer even it shows "Operating System 100%"!! It's still validating and will end up with a big error if you do the opposite. It just happened to me and made me spend more effort to figure it out. Just wait everything disappeared on the screen!
What was the big error that occurred? Because mine lost connection at the very end and said ERROR but it shows that it updated and seems to be working ok? 😓😩
I don't see the math-print option on modes settings. Could this be because I don't have the latest operating system? My settings only show up to the clock. Since I can't change the setting to operating system I can't set cube powers like square powers. It's mainly a display issue.
It updates to 100% than tells me there was an error. I've tried 4 times already and it still won't go through. Even though on my calculator it shows the process as 100% done.
Thank you so much! I was trying last night and all morning to do this until I found this video. And their customer service is closed for the weekend 😩I was scared because it took awhile for my computer to notice the calculator plugged in and at the end of updating it said "Error lost connection" even though I didn't move it. But it's fine apparently it was done even though it lost connection😅 lolTHANKS AGAIN 👌
For me, what fixed the "Error lost connection" was keeping the application focused. It seems that if I tab over to chrome or something while the update is happening, it fails ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. It also seemed to get stuck at "verifying OS," after 100%; at that point, my calculator randomly turned off, and what I did was power on the TI and it finished. Very weird but it works for me so it might for you future viewers browsing the comment section. :P
Everything was going great until I started downloading it, it said it didn't work so I canceled and tried again. Except my calculator was stuck in this state where it said it was waiting for the operating system to install. But on the application even though my calculator is plugged in, it won't show up! And now it seems like my calculator is bricked as it is stuck in this download mode. And I can't find any results about this online at all
I'm updating my TI-84 Plus. I got the error message and had to restart the process. It kept on having the error, but it was at 100% and the operating system loaded fine. Before I even tried to update the operating system, I used the TI Connect for just TI-84 Plus and backed up my calculator just in case something went sour. Thanks.
I don’t have the same cable you have. I have a clear cable that connects to the port on the left (the one that looks like a headphone jack) can I use that to update my calculator? I have a TI 84 plus silver edition.
As long as you’re able to plug it into your device with the USB port I’m sure you’ll be fine. If not, you can find an adapter for the TI-83/84 calculator on Amazon ((: I got mine for 7 bucks
Just an update, while I could connect the calculator via USB and my computer did acknowledge that it was connected. The newer CE software did not recognize that my calculator was connected. No matter what I tried it would not show up at all. I don’t know if that’s fault of the cable or what. (It’s an official TI product so I know that couldn’t be an issue) But I had to download the older TI Connect software to actually perform the update.
If Apple cannot check it for malicious software. go to system preferences, security and privacy, then in general there should be a notification saying that the software was blocked, click open "any way" and follow the onscreen instructions.
Just found out how to do it if your still wondering, when you upload the file in the file manager, make sure all files are shown. Default in windows, its set to ti83
No matter how many times I turn off my TI 84 Plus (Sliver Edition) and turn it back on, I am still encountering the error. Why is it not allowing me to update it no matter what?
Incase in the future anyone else has this problem, try using the older program to run it. TI connect not the newer one TI connect CE . After I downloaded the older version it worked just fine for the TI-84 Plus silver edition . I got the error only one n hit retry n it worked smoothly n now it’s updated n working great. I hope this helps anyone having this issue
I'm borrowing a friend's calculator for the semester, and I was so excited to update the software for her while I was using it. Turns out I don't have any USB chords with that fit correctly :'( bummer
DOn't give up so easily; the USB cable is not difficult to find on TigerDirect or Amazon.com, and it's cheap. She will be thrilled if you update her device.
Hey guys, what fixed the "Error lost connection" was keeping the application focused. It seems that if I tab over to chrome or something while the update is happening, it fails ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.

Thanks man! 👍-😉 . Started taking a chemistry class for my prerequisites. I haven't taken math in a while. I pulled out my graphing calculator and it needs the update.
When I follow your instructions step by step it simply does not work. It shows that the calculator is connected but there is nothing there. I guess I will have to call TI. Not once had it ever worked trying to go by instructions posted on TH-cam. This goes for both my TI-84 Plus C Silver and my TI-Nspire CX Cas.
Ada Almodovar the TI-nSpire is a different family of calculators, so, no this video does not apply. However- yes this video does apply to the TI-84 Plus Silver Edition.
@@aborne I wish you would update this. Cause apparently this doesn't work anymore. I keep getting machintosh settings. Or EXE. It's not working. It won't download cause it keeps saying I'm missing a file. Which file am I missing? I downloaded everything. Or is it officially obsolete?
That is not true about the ce software works better with older ti's. My ti-84 plus is a older one and was on the 2.21 software. The ce version software showed up unknown device. It would show the correct version, but the device was unknown. I tried to update anyway, but it failed. Stating unknown device. I downloaded the older software and ran it but stated the software was up to date, but will look for newer software online. I tried to let find newer software, but did not find any. I then manually selected the newer 2.55 software update that I had downloaded already. It started updating and went through 100%. Now that I am on the new 2.55 software. The ce version will now see the ti-84 and the new 2.55 version.
Warning: Do NOT upgrade to 5.5 or higher. It removes ASM, which removed beloved utilities like Mario, GD, Calcuzap, and so much more. It also remove utilities like Cesium and High Resolution Picture Viewer. Do not update unless you *absolutely need to*.
I feel so old...I am going back to school at 37...and I have had this calculator since 2006....and my even my calculator is behind in life.
You’re never too old to learn and get the credentials. I’m proud of you. And you have a darn good calculator too.

still works 2023!! thank you so much for the video
Im so glad! Cheers, fellow calculator user.
great step by step process on Mac and even included the error code I got also. It put my mind at ease knowing you got that too. Good short tutorial :)

Thanks for a great video! The cable you need is any USB (type A), to Mini USB cable (Type B)
Great video. Thanks! First time using a scientific calc. Learning a lot of new things on this old hand-me-down TI-84.

Thank you very much, it worked perfectly, you won heaven my friend
Ahh I’m just waiting on the OS email thanks for the video
What do I select after CE software? I don't see any buttons that say "Download", there are so many other options, how do I know which one to use?

What are the benefits of updating the calculator?
The last release of the OS allows for math print, fractions, and any base logarithm function.
Thank you! Worked!!! :D
On mine it says "OS version 5.4 may be an older version or not supported on TI-84 Plus - 462E" does anyone know how to fix that?
Navid Ahmad yes, the problem is that OS can only be installed on the newer TI-84 CE, it won’t work on the older TI-84 Plus.
