I recently got a TI 84 Plus SE as a present, and have been trying to add games to it. I have added a couple, inclouded a basic tetris, I got Mirrage 0S to work, I have 2 ASM Marage games working.

However, (And I will tell you that I'm using a Mac Ver. 10.3.9) whenever I try to drag game files onto my list of files that are currently on my calculator (which is how you do it on a mac. trust me, ive already added 4 games this way and they work) I get this error message that says "Errors occurred while sending ZMERCURY.8XP. A distribution list, containing the device(s) which returned an error, was created for each file."

And it doesnt work.

PLEASE! I NEED HELP!

As do I. You were either sending a group or multiple files. Break apart the group (this may be difficult) and send the files seperately. Also make sure everything is connected properly.

What is TrackStar and where do I get it?

Also I think that the problem is that the program is being sent to my ram, not the memeory hard drive. Because Macs you drag and drop it and theres no sections to where to drop it, I don't know how to change where to send it to.

TrackStar is a person, and you can probably find him in his town.

I'm not sure how TI-Connect is setup on a Mac but its probably very similar to its Windows version. Try dragging files over the text that says archive when you're viewing on-calc files. This should probably work. I don't use a Mac but may be able to try it at work and then try to help you out.

why can't you archive the files once they are on the calc.

you don't have enough space. delete some apps if necessary. or yeah...means you have a lot of big program files that aren't archived (with a litle * next to them). Must be a big file cuz TI-84's hold a lot of memory.

I learned how to archive files which helps but the big ones, such as this thing called "ourworld" still gets the error.

on my TI connect software it doesnt break down the files on my calculator into cateogories. it simply has every file, listed alphabetically....

Ourworld is a large App. Being an App, it needs all that space to be free contiguously (one block). While you may have 100KB of free archive, for example, it might not all be in one block -- you can have several blocks of 10KB free, for example. It's somewhat hard to explain non-technically.

I only got this error with groups or multiple files. And you cannot choose archive or ram on the mac version, it is laid out VERY differently.
