My 50mm lens won't focus correctly, either in AF or Manual mode, any suggestions?

My low end f1.8 50mm Canon lens doesn't focus correctly.  It has never been banged or dropped and appears in focus on the viewfinder but when I look closely the images are not sharp.  It's the only lens that exhibits this problem and shows up on both the 60D and the 450D (Tsi).  Is there an adjustment anywhere to correct this?

Solidventur,
I recommend that you clean the contacts on the lens using a soft microfiber cleaning cloth.  Also, try toggling the focusing mode switch between MF and AF a few times.  If the images are still out of focus on multiple cameras with only your EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens attached, but other lenses focus properly, then your EF 50mm f/1.8 II lens will need to be serviced.
To start the process of getting your lens serviced, you will need to complete a service request on our website.  To help, I have provided a direct link to the correct page on our website below:

    Hi,
    As you have match, I suggest that you create a new library by holding ctrl whist launching iTunes. Select create new library. Sign into iTunes Store and activate match. You will now have access to your music and will be able to stream your music.
    Options : get a new external drive formatted for mac and either download music from match or copy music from old drive to new one. Alternatively you could reformat old drive and download music from match - I would not be comfortable using this option as it means erasing drive before being able to use with mac.

    It would be easier to just fix whatever is making your machine slow.
    I wrote a little diagnostic program to help show what might be causing these problems. Download EtreCheck from http://www.etresoft.com/download/EtreCheck.zip, run it, and paste the results here.

  • HT1751 My iTunes won't drag to my external hard drive...any suggestions?

    When I attempt to drag my iTunes library to my external hard drive, it will not transfer the folder.  I am using a Mac osx and a free agent external hard drive.  Any suggestions?

    See this migrate iTunes library post. Depending on the layout of the library you may simply need to copy the entire iTunes folder using Windows Explorer without ever firing up iTunes.

  • Foxit Reader won't work with HP Laptop Help and Support Guides, any suggestions?

    New HP Pavilion with Windows 7 x64 I downloaded Foxit Reader and installed it and then Uninstalled Adobe Reader to save space. Then, although it will open my PDF's in "My Documents", it will not open the Guides or Learning PDF's in the HP Help and Support files. Is there someone with more experience using Foxit Reader than can suggest a work around? If I reinstall Adobe PDF then it all works again.
    John

    the-edmeister,
    Thank you! # 30 Under "Foxit Reader". I went back and set the Foxit Reader as the Default. I'm pretty sure that I did that when I first installed it and it asked if I wanted Foxit to be the Default Reader. Anyway, I think it is fixed.

  • 15in Macbook Pro early 2011 won't shutoff nor can I run disk utilities. Any suggestions?

    Situation:
    I have a 15in Macbook Pro early 2011 that I can not shutdown nor can I run disk utility to repair any issues. I recently had it serviced to replace a failing hard drive.
    Known issues:
         - Disk Utility: Will not respond. A couple days ago I had to run it to repair some damage to harddrive. When I try to open it, it is frozen with the rainbow ball.
         - Shutdown: I can not shutdown or restart my computer as it freezes during shutdown with grey screen. I can manually turn it on and off by holding down the      power button.
         - Disc Drive: This may not be related but I can not eject DVD in the disc drive.
    Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated. I currently live overseas (for school) so just going to an Apple store is not really a realistic option for me at this time. Thanks

    Take it back to where you had it serviced, there is usually a ~90 day guarantee
    you can force a shutdown by holding the power button for longer than usual.

  • Can't open .doc files in either Word or Pages!! Any suggestions?

    So I stated having issues with Word not being able to open my .doc files along with a few other things. This prompted me to purchase pages only a few hours ago hoping that it would solve all my problems. Unfortunately this did not solve my problem and now I still can't open them even in pages. Any suggestions?
    I have OS X 10.6.8. Any help would be greatly apreciated as I am a new Grad student and need to be able to access .doc files that are posted online.

    Ok I forgot to try to hit Open With for Word and that worked for one document but I still want to know how to get it open in pages.
    Well you can do the same thing for Pages. From the Get Info window, choose Pages for Open With.
    But you should also be able to:
    drag a Word document and drop it on the Pages icon or
    Launch Pages, choose File > Open, find the Word document using the Open box and click Open.
    If neither works please explain what steps you're following and what happens.
    Thanks.

    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

    Have just loaded iOS7 and now I cannot send or receive mail . Device message is : cannot open mail cannot connect with server. Any ideas?

    Had the same problem.  Deleted my account and readded it...still didn't work.  Had a call with Apple, and they couldn't figure out why the Exchange server wouldn't work.  They had me set up mail through Gmail, and that finally worked.  There must be a bug they need to fix for the Exchange Server.
