Use the TI USB Silver cable or a standard USB to Mini USB. The calculator shipped with one or both cables.
Before it can be recognized you must install the drivers. Download TI connect and install it on the computer before connecting the calculator. If you use the Graph link (black cable) you need to have a serial port on the computer.
COM3 is serial communication port. On newer computers (laptops) that port is no longer available.

Mac loads and runs fine, but every time I try to update the programs on my Mac it keeps asking for a password, I don't know.

Which program were you trying to update? Are you trying to download and install new software (that is not from Apple App Store?) Are you running Mountain Lion (OSX 10.8)? The password needed is your administrator password.

My cruz tablet 103 won't keep app open, it just reverts to home page. Any suggestions?

You need to update your tablet, or update the programming on your tablet. Apparently all the android 2.2 tabs are considered "legacy" models and don't support the newest google and java script. Since this is what the net primarily uses, those of us with the Cruz are hosed.

Reset memory . . all apps are gone

If one of your classmates has an IO cable, you can use it to tranfer the apps from his/her calculator to yours. If not, you will have to buy a USB standard to USB mini cable. After installing TI Connect on your computer you should be able to download the apps from education.ti.com and transfer them to the calculator.
And of course, there is the obvious way: Own up to your mistake and ask the teacher to tranfer the apps to the calculator.

I just got my sister's TI-89 calculator and I don't know how to use it. I'm trying to find out how to graph a non-linear inequality. Any ideas?

You can download the manual from the manufacturer's web site at
http://education.ti.com/calculators/downloads/US/Guidebooks/Detail?id=6128

There's also an aftermarket book:

If you're lucky, a local library will have it.

My Verizon Motorola V3M has started displaying "registering applications" on the screen & I would like to know how to eliminate this. Thanks, Charles

Trying to download but keep getting Out of Space error message. Wants mme to free up some space on my MID. How do I do this?

Uninstall any apps you don't need and anything else you can live without.
You can put a 32gb micro SD card in it and have your music, videos and pictures and such saved on it.
Only problem is the tablet won't bookmark your films when you stop watching from the card like it does off the built in memory.

How do I protect programs from deletion? So that even permanent deletion won't exactly delete it. Cheers

Your calculator comes with APPS, but probably didn't come with programs unless you've downloaded some from the TI site or linked a program from another calculator.

Your APPS or programs cannot be deleted without going through the memory mgt/del screen. In other words, you can't press APPS, arrow down to the APP and hit the delete key and delete your APP.

If for some reason you accidentally delete a TI APP or a program, I think as long as you have registered you calculator with TI, you can download the missing APP or program from their site.

To disable APPS & programs (necessary for some standardized tests). With the calculator off, hold down the left and right arrow keys at the same time then press on. A disable screen will come up and you can choose to disable them. However if you do this you will not be able to use them again until you enable them again.

To enable, link to another calculator and send an app or program from that calculator to yours. This will turn your apps and programs back on.
