The calculator continually consumes a small amount of power to store data in temporary RAM memory. That is why it is recommended that you archive all of the programs and data on your calculator before you change the batteries; if you do not, there is a chance you will lose the data saved in the temporary RAM memory when you remove them. When your batteries get low, the power in the spare button battery will start to be consumed (it acts as the battery backup so you do not lose data right away when the main batteries die).
On a side note, if you are interested, head over to www.calc-tech.com to download software for your TI graphing calculator to help you improve your score on the math section of the SAT I reasoning test. SAT_OS is a software package that can be used during the actual SAT test and is known to improve scores by over 60 points just by using the software. It allows the users to complete calculations faster and more accurately than otherwise would be possible by hand.
Short answer; you can't. But you can purchase (or borrow) a TI84 calculator and use the TI83's transfer cable to transfer data from the 83 to the 84 to your mac computer (the TI84 comes with a USB transfer cable).
On my graphing calculator, a TI84 Plus, I can enter the equation into the Y= (a button) and then graph it by hitting the Graph button.
Either press the carat button followed by a 3 or go to the math function and select cubed.
I believe that that isn't possible unless you have it ported to ti84 or you know how to. the file format is different, and the game is built for a separate calc.
No. I believe TI83+ and TI84 do use an operating system.
Press your Y = button, press X, press second button and then catalog. Press up button to save time and scroll up to > and press enter. then 4. This, >, symbol may be someplace else, but I do not renumber where and all symbols are in the catalog.

The TI-85 was the second graphing calculator made by Texas Instruments. (The first was the TI-81). The TI-84 is a much newer version and has more functionality and memory. The only real advantage that the TI-85 has over the TI-84 is that it costs less. As far as where you are allowed to use the calculator, almost every test or class that allows a TI-85 will allow a TI-84 as well. The TI-84 is a much better investment. (If the TI-84 is too expensive, look into getting a TI-83. This model is also newer than the TI-85.)
TI84 calculators can be purchased at retail stores such as Best Buy, Future Shop, Staples and Office Depot. Prices range at approximately $140 and can differ by retailer.
One can purchase a TI 84 Plus Silver Edition from the following shops: Amazon, Calculators Direct, eBay, Walmart, Target, eBuyer, Staples, Best Buy, to name a few.
Graph the two lines or equations you want to find the intersection of. Then adjust the window so that you can see the intersection point. (If you don't know where it is, try pressing ZOOM and choosing ZoomFit.) Then press 2ND CALC (above TRACE) and choose option 5, intersect. Use the up and down arrows to select the first equation you want to find the intersection point on, and press ENTER. Do the same thing for the second equation. The calculator will now say "Guess?". Use the left and right arrows to move the x-like shape as close to the intersection point as possible, then press ENTER. The calculator will tell you the intersection point and the bottom of the screen. If you get a NO SIGN CHNG error, then it might be because the intersection point is not on the screen. Change the window so that you can see the intersection point and try again. Also, make sure that your guess is somewhat close to the intersection point.
Press 2ND MATRIX (above x-1). Select EDIT at the top with the arrow keys. The select matrix [B] and press ENTER. You can now edit the matrix. (Use the numbers at the upper right to set the size.)
