Alright, so I wanted to put some more stuff on my TI-89 Titanium graphing calculator. So I try and load TI connect and plug in the good ol' USB cable. Problem is now the USB cable is not recognized. So I unplug and replug along with scanning for new hardware. Here is where it gets weird. The computer recognizes the cable as not a USB, but as an IEEE 1394 compliant host controller. Needless to say it was odd. Whelp, I have tried and tried and tried to fix it to no avail.

Steps I have taken so far:
1) Reset my calculator
2) Uninstall both the USB cable and the software w/ restart and reinstalling
3) different USB cord
4) Different software

Also when I try and look for the calculator through TI connect it will give me no other option than Port 1 (wtf does that mean anyways?).

So, can you guys help before I snap the installation CD in half and throw my calculator across the room?

Download the TI connect software from the page, the CD version of it sucks.

I got my Ti-89 to connect to the computer fine. And I used the CD software.

I've never had that sort of problem before.

I got my TI-84 Plus to work with the TI Connect software once and put some games on it. Then the next day I forgot how to.

Dunno. I just use the calculator that's on my watch, so idea how to use those fancy ones.

Yeah, I'm living in the 80's. Shut the hell up and caress my jean jacket.
