5D Mark II Malfunction

My 5D Mark II does not recognize the full space on a cardwith message "card full format in this camera"for example for a 16 GB Card, this message pops up at only 7 GB of recordingAnd refuses to be turned off

You may want to post your message in the EOS camera section (where it is more likely to be seen.) All DSLR cameras will stop recording after 29 minutes 59 seconds (basically it cannot record for 30 minutes) -- oddly enough... due to an international tariff on video cameras that does not apply to still cameras that can shoot video as long as they don't record more than 30 minutes of video. Incidentally, the tariff doesn't apply in the US but these cameras are sold internationally where the tariff does apply. Also, the length of any single clip cannot exceed 4GB (regardless of card capacity) due to limits in the FAT32 filesystem (the 5D II does not support the exFAT filesystem format which gets around the 4GB filesize limit.)

My macbook is getting the question mark folder and also my start up disks are gone

A few weeks back I turned on my macbook and discovered that it cannot boot up anymore. There was absolutely no precedent to this. I didn't drop it (I've dropped it many times in the past if that matters, and may have placed it down on my desk a little to aggressively the night before), and I had no problem using my computer right before going to bed. I just closed it went to sleep and the next morning my computer was malfunctioning. Whenever I turn it on the computer is stuck at a grey screen with a blinking picture of a folder with a question mark on it. I thought my computer was a lost cause and I bought a new one, but now I am in desperate need of recovering my lost files on my old computer which I still have.
So I go to the internet for help, with my goal being to just fix my old macbook or at least salvage the data, and read that the thing to do is press command+R when the computer boots up and fire up internet recovery, then go to disk utility and fix the drive/disc/whatever from there. So I press command+R at start up, and I get past the loading screen with the globe and go to a menu giving me the options of disk utility, time machine, reinstallation, and looking on mac forums for help. I click on disk utility and my mac os x disc does not appear to be on the left hand side. There is one disk under a disk that says Disk1 that says MAC OS X BASE SYSTEM or something to that effect on it, but if you click on its info it says that that particular disc has a total capacity of only 1.39 GB, so that can't be it, right? Also when I click on it it doesn't give me the option to verify or repair it. There's another disk at the very top of the left hand side that says 4.14 GB ST_M13FQ8L M... but it also has a low total capacity.
After I find no help in disk utility I decide to take a different route and see if I have any time machine back ups and it asks me to select the disk that contains the backup I want to restore, but the list that is shown is empty. I don't remember ever setting up a time machine back up so this doesn't surprise me.
So I move on to another solution- to try and reinstall MAC OS X Lion and it takes me to a window where it asks me to select the disc where I want to install MAC OS X Lion, but the the little white box under the message that is supposed to show a list or something of the available selections/discs is completely empty. So I have no start up discs?
Then I click shut down on the upper left hand corner of the screen to turn of my computer and another window appears asking me to select the system i want to use to start up my computer but that box is also completely empty.
I don't know what to do this at this point, and I don't know how to interpret the situation either, even after researching the issue on the internet. Does this mean that my harddrive/disc or whatever is completely gone/broken? And more importantly does this mean that all of my data is gone forever? Or is the system or computer itself broken or something like that, but my hard drive is intact? Now that I have a new computer all I really need is to somehow transfer the data from my broken computer to my new one, and don't really need to "fix" my computer- but if fixing it is the only means to see my data again that's what I want to do. And also can I fix this manually by myself, or does this require professionals. And if i do need to hire someone, how much will this typically cost? Thanks!
Some other facts: The macbook in question (the broken one) is an aluminum 13 inch macbook pro from I think 2012, maybe 2011, and used to run on Mavericks. I also used to have windows bootcamp on it but i rarely used it. The macbook has been having some problems for a while and recently started to slowly break down. The USB ports stopped working completely, all of its apps were slow and glitched a lot, the battery in it was nearly dead (it said REPLACE SOON where the battery symbol used to be on the upper right hand corner of the screen), but it still worked at a base level and I used it for work and stuff, up until this point of course.

This document should give you some leads as to what to do.
A flashing question mark appears when you start your Mac

An Open Letter To Mark Hurd

Hi Mark,
I’m an HP customer. One who really loved her convenient, manageable, cute, personal HP printer/scanner/copier until it suddenly stopped functioning. This letter is not to fault your products. Rather it’s your policies I have issue with.
Your tagline is something about making the computer personal again, but your service has felt anything but personal. Upon realizing I had a printer malfunction, I tried to figure out online what might be wrong by going through your troubleshooting manual. No dice. I couldn’t find anything about an “E” appearing where numbers should be. I assumed it meant “Error”, but not being tech savvy, I instantly doubted myself and thought, Well, what if it means Empty? What then? Could it be that simple? Ugh, I need help.
So I decided to pick up the phone and call customer service where I was patched through to a representative after about 10 minutes with an automated system. This man, who refused to give me his ID number saying that it was against company policy to release such information, spent more time taking more of the same basic information only to tell me that my warranty has expired and that if I wanted to talk to anyone, it would cost me $34.99.
This astounded me. We had not even gotten to what the problem might be. My mind raced, Am I really going to pay someone $34.99 for them to tell me that I need to replace a cartridge? I tried to explain this dilemma to him, but was getting nowhere so I asked to speak with his supervisor. I was then informed that supervisors are reserved only for customers whose products are still under warranty. This, too, felt counterintuitive. Why would I need a warranty to talk to a supervisor? I talk to supervisors for companies who never gave me a warranty in the first place, I thought. He said I could email in my problem at no charge, but I wanted to talk through the problem with someone in a reasonable amount of time. Not write down word for word, blinking light by blinking light, button by button what was going on and then never know whether I’ll get a response (although it looks like that’s where I ended up anyway…touche, Mark) or whether my explanation was coherent. I explained to the man that I wasn’t paying any amount of money to talk to someone about my problem and that I was willing to remain on the line until he was able to figure out a way to help me. That is his job, right? To help me fix a problem? I wanted to give him an opportunity to be a problem solver. I needed help, plain and simple. Just someone to talk to.
Well, he hung up on me. Said I was a waste of his time. So I tweeted about it. For all the HP accounts on Twitter, one guy responded to me. He was very nice and at least attempted to be helpful. Wouldn’t you know it, he was in marketing, not customer service. I gave him my phone number and my email and two weeks (two weeks!) later I received a phone call from a Mr. Dan Finn from the executive office. I thought, Whew! Finally, the executive office will know what to do. And they’ll be a lot more invested in my satisfaction as a customer. I couldn’t wait to talk to Dan. After a few missed calls and bad timing, Dan and I finally connected.
In my dreams, this is what Dan said, “I understand what you’re saying, let’s see if we can’t get someone to talk to you. I’m sorry you’ve had an unpleasant experience so far, and rather than just TELL you how sorry I am and how much HP values you as a customer the way everyone else has, I’m going to prove it to you and try to help you fix your problem. If it’s a quick fix there’ll be no problem, but it’s possible that it’s a bigger problem and then we can talk about the cost of any repairs. I’ll stay on the line while I patch you through to a technician so the three of us can talk this through and I'll make sure you get taken care of.”
In reality, this is what Dan said, “You can pay $34.99 to talk to a technician or you can chat online or email. Ma’am it’s stated pretty clearly on the warranty. I mean, your product was purchased in 2005. So your warranty’s been expired for a while now.” Don’t get me wrong, Dan was a nice guy. He was just doing his job, much like customer service representative #1 from the first call (except CSR#1 did get a little sassy and, oh yeah, he hung up the phone on me). When I asked if I could write you a letter to advise on how flawed I feel your customer service policy is, he gave me the address to his office where he promised to consider my thoughts, file away my letter to a place where it would never see the light of day and you certainly would never be bothered with it. Well played, Mark. You train them well. So I decided to post this somewhere where whether or not you see it, certainly other potential and current customers will.
Let me ask you something: Am I an HP customer as long as I own an HP product, or only as long as that product is under warranty? Just because you can no longer assure me that the product I paid for will function properly, does that mean that I’m no longer deserving your help? When was it ever a good business plan to LIMIT customer service? If that ever worked at some point in history, you're sadly behind the curve in realizing it's not going to fly today. That doesn’t sound like you want to keep things really personal. Not one bit. I’d love to have been a fly on the wall at whatever meeting that decision was made at:
Suit #1: So, now that we’ve got the terms of this warranty written up, what do we do if a customer needs something after it expires?
Mark Hurd: Screw ‘em.
What really gets me is that I’m willing to pay to have it repaired! I understand nothing lasts forever and sometimes things go wrong and need to be fixed. If you would just let someone talk to me about my problem long enough to figure out what’s going on, I’d pay someone to fix it. But pay someone to tell them what my problem is? That doesn’t sound right to me. Does it sound right to you? Don’t help your customers because it's an opportunity to squeeze more money from them, help them because you have pride in the quality of the products you sell. I’m really sad, not only because this is the #2 most frustrating situation I’ve had behind getting cable installed (they finally came) but also because I LOVED your product, and now I can no longer use it and I have no idea why.
It crossed my mind that this is all a ploy to just get me to never fix the old product and buy a brand spankin’ new HP printer, I’m sorry, Mark, but if that's the case, you’ve failed. Because after this experience I have no intention of ever purchasing another HP product now that I know how very little you value your customers. This is a dangerous policy you’ve got here, Mark. Customer loyalty is so important. Especially now, I’d say it’s critical to a company’s survival in these tough economic times. I urge you to reconsider your current policy when it comes to your customers. Either that, or create a new advertising campaign. I’m dying to know: What exactly about HP is making the computer personal again? If you read this, that question is not rhetorical. Please let me know. Call your executive office, Dan will know how to reach me.
These kinds of bad practices lead to bad PR. If you don’t want bad publicity, do the right thing and be good to your customers.
Thanks and best,
Rebecca

Restrict them from using? But why? Just because they were being objective, and thus didn't quite agree with your opinion? Besides, i believe it is because of the HP employees taking up their personal time to help resolve other customers' issue for free and nothing else in return, that the forum has been as helpful as it has been so far. Without us, there'll just be more questions, not many answers and more rants and frustration-venting.

TS2570 iMac won't boot, GSOD with Flashing Question Mark, safe/verbose mode not possible

I have an iMac 24", just over 2 years old running OS X v10.5 (Leopard). Mighty Mouse and bluetooth keyboard, no peripherals.
It slowed enormously over the last few weeks and has now ceased to boot.
On switching on I hear the chime (blank grey screen initially), the grey screen hangs for approx 30sec before the flashing folder/?mark icon appears.
There is no further progress.
Boot key combination results:
Can reset NVRAM (Option-Command-P-R)
Cannot boot to safe mode
Cannot boot to startup manager
Cannot boot to verbose mode
Cannot boot from target media (DVD etc)
Cannot boot to AHT mode
Cannot boot to single user mode
I have followed the steps here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2570
Disconnect, test peripheral devices and network cables - done - de-powered and rebooted. No difference.
Perform a Safe Boot- this does not work. I am familiar with the boot combinations and timings. The safe boot leads to the same flashing folder/?mark icon. I have also tried verbose, single user, AHT and startup manager with the same result.
Reset the NVRAM / PRAM - done - this worked and kicks the system into an auto-reboot after 3-5 seconds. This also demonstrates the Keyboard is fine. The subsequent boot fails at the same point via normal, safe or verbose boot instructions.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc; use Disk Utility – I never received an OSX install disk. I have the original box with receipts etc, the only disk present is an unsealed version of iLife (yeah thanks Apple). Where would I get one?
Check your cables and power source – done - all fine.
Remove third-party RAM and internal hardware – not applicable.
Perform an Archive and Install installation of Mac OS X – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
Perform an Erase and Install installation of Mac OS X as a last resort – how would I do this when I cannot boot the device?
To me the problem looks like a HDD failure. I had windows (dual boot) professionally installed when I bought the iMac and since the Windows boot option is also not visible (startup manager itself does not work) I suspect the system can’t find bootable media because the HDD isn’t spinning.
An OS corruption would generally affect one or the other but presumably not both Operating Systems simultaneously.
It's hard to be certain, but I’m sure it used to make more noise.
I had a look into opening it up and troubleshooting the physical components but it’s hard to know where to start. There are no obvious ways in and I’m not a professional so decided to post a question here rather than hack it open.
I'd be grateful if you could suggest next steps here, or is it time to go dig a hole in the garden? I certainly expected more than 2yrs life from a £1200 unit.
Many Thanks,
Ryan

Thanks for the response,
I bought the iMac new, 17th Jan 2010, all receipts intact but no extended warrenty. I declined the Applecare Plan for two reasons.
(1) The sales rep seemed very confident in the product build. In fact the main justification of the price tag was the quality of the device. I'd also never had an apple device malfunction at that stage.
(2) The incumbent EU regulations are quite fair in so much as legislation dictates electrical goods should be manufactured to function for a 'reasonable' lifetime. I would be morally uncomfortable paying for rights I theoretically already have.
I triple checked on the OS X disks you mentioned but no joy. Unusual as it may be, the box has not been used and it's contents reflect the day of purchase.
I'm happy to order the OS X v10.5 DVD and attempt a boot to the disk utility, I don't mind risking a few bucks on a potential fix. I'll need to figure out where to order the disk, the call centre is closed ATM so watch this space.
What I'd really be interested in is; (a) is there a known diagnostic routine to determine the HDD functionality and (b) it is possible to replace/upgrade the HDD? This for me is where the iMac loses ground against a conventional PC in terms of motherboard/component access. It's far superior from an asthaetics perspective while things are running smoothly and the OS is great but the first sign of a hardware malfunction and there seems little or no scope to self-medicate the device.
The disk has around 40-60 GB free space.
I don't have a second Mac, nor any friends or family with a Mac to 'borrow' for the disk utility test you mentioned. I'll hunt around this afternoon/week but my instinct tells me finding a locally accessable Mac running 3 yr old OS X might not be possible. Again, watch this space, I'll post any further developments.
In the meantime any further assistance or answers to the above questions on determining HDD status would be much appreciated. No progress has yet been made on the original issue of failing to boot.
Many Thanks
Ryan

Concise problem statement:Malfunctioning of Audio Splits in Source Monitor
Steps to reproduce bug:
1.Open a Clip in Source Monitor
2.Clear In and Out
3.Mark Audio Split In and then Split Out
4.Try to Go to Audio Split Out
Results:After Marking Audio Split Out, Video is also Marked. Cannot Go to Audio Split Out.
Expected results:Normally Marking only Audio and ability to go to Audio Split Out
Link: http://www.adobe.com/go/wish

It looks like the only thing not working as it should is the menu command Go to Split>Audio Out. Everything else in your video is working as designed.
I do get that same bad menu behavior. But if only audio split is set, both the keyboard shortcuts and the Go To Out icon work just fine.

Startup screen folder with a question mark

My nephew is at sea in the Navy. His macbook suddenly only starts up with a question mark folder and he has no disks with him. Any suggestions?
Thank you in advance

Same thing happened to me with my new Macbook (see my thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1246710&tstart=45)
I spent over an hour with the Apple tech person over the phone and he came to the conclusion that the my hard drive was malfunctioning. My Macbook is now in the shop getting a new hard drive.

Folder with question mark ! hard disk !

I NEED HELP !!! I Replaced my mac hard disk due to a malfunction in the first one but i already formatted it and when i start up, it gives this folder with a question mark ! When i start internet recovery i get this error 6002F !! I NEED HELP ... what is wrong and how do i solve this issue .
ps. the Store did not carry the mac OSX CD's so they told me to internet recover the OS.

The icon means that the Mac can't find suitable startup volume. In other words, it can't find the OS in the drive. Your only hope is connecting the Mac to the Internet and starting it up with Command-R pressed. Hopefully you will be able to do an Internet-based Recovery boot.
If that cannot be made to work, you will have to take it to an Apple Store or a Service Provider so they can install the OS.

Question Mark Upper Left Hand Corner

What does a big question mark mean in the upper left hand corner of finder window? Appears on all my finder windows. I click on it and it says "The Item Can't Be Found." Very odd. I do use a lot of different external drives for backups, etc etc. Not sure it if is trying to reference one of those or what........??

I think MacJack is thinking it is in the Finder window. However, do you mean it is on the toolbar of a Finder window? If so, haku64 has the right method of removing it. But, if it is a tool you want to repair, right-click on the Toolbar and select Customize Toolbar… Either drag back the standard toolbar, or replace the malfunctioning item with a new one. You can then just drag the ? one out of the toolbar.

T430 Keyboard malfunction

Hi everyone.
I am experiencing a serious problem with my just recently acquired T430 - specifically with its keyboard:
- It seems like the keyboards circuits / electrical contacts are not very well isolated resp. poorly designed (at least that's my explanation for the problem) - so that pressing a or in my case some specific keys triggers multiple other keys! Mainly the upper part of the keyboard is affected (Tab/Number/F/Hotkey - Rows).
- Now - I had this problem like after one month using the laptop - I called the support and got replaced the keyboard (great service) but now - like again one month later - it seems like exact the same malfunction occurs again!
I don't think, that I am using and treating my laptop the wrong way... au contraire I am almost too careful handling it.
So
- Does anybody else have/had the same problem?
- Do you think the problem could even be a software malfunction and not based on hardware?
- What can I - what should I - what would you do?
Any input and help is appreciated!
Greetings
TG
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Good Afternoon Guenst,
If you have replaced the keyboard and you are still having a problem you may want to send your system in for repair at the depot.
Usually when a problem like yours persists, the problem the system seems to be having does not have an obvious solution.
I recommend calling the support line and having them set you up to send in your system for repair.
The repair depot might be able to better pinpoint and fix your keyboard issue.

Strange marks on Curve 8900 screen

Hi folks,
I hope someone can help me out. I have a new blackberry 8900 javelin (have like 4 months of use) and some strange marks appeared on the screen. They are small marks, but they don't disappear. I had the same problem with my last curve 8900 (I had 3 8900 models) but last time, the marks disappeared in a few days. Those on mine are not disappearing. I know it's not a liquid crystal leak, it's a malfunction or something, because the mark had a different shape in a few days ago. Here are some pictures i took to show the problem.
hope someone can help me out!
thanks guys!

Hey eduardopfm,
Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community Forums.
Thanks for the question.
Those marks are definitely hardware/lcd screen related. I would suggest contacting your network service provider or point of sale for repair options as this is not software related.
Let me know if you have any more questions.
Cheers.

System wide mini malfunctions

I have a mac mini i5 (2.3 GHz mid 2012)
OS X 10.8.3
I have multiple log in accounts (main, kids etc)
I upgraded to Mountain Lion a few months ago and just now realized there are system wide malfunctions going on.
Prior to upgrade, I backed up, wiped the drive clean, then installed Lion and a week later upgraded to Mountain Lion.
Problems:
Loging into account C: I am greeted with a "Enter iCloud ID or create a new one" then another screen saying "Enjoy your computer." I have entered the info at this prompt and am greeted by the same prompt the next time I log in. I have had an icloud account for months and this info is entered in the Pref Settings as well. It is as if the computer is not remebering the info I am entering.
Login items that have been turned off, will be turned back on after login or reboot.
Account A- Finder - if I customize the side bar of the finder window, it will accept the changes for my current session, but if I log out or restart, the customization is reverted back to the default
Mail - opens two window upon launching, it will not remember my toolbar customization (similar to the finder side bar problem above)
will not remember changes to pref settings like "move junk mail to trash"
Account B Safari will not remember auto log in info.
I've tried repairing disk permissions
I've gotten advice to delete various .plists and data states.
None of this has helped. I feel like I'm working on a computer in the public library. Urrggh!

Back up all data. Don't continue unless you're sure you can restore from a backup, even if you're unable to log in.
This procedure will unlock all your user files (not system files) and reset their ownership and access-control lists to the default. If you've set special values for those attributes on any of your files, they will be reverted. In that case, either stop here, or be prepared to recreate the settings if necessary. Do so only after verifying that those settings didn't cause the problem. If none of this is meaningful to you, you don't need to worry about it.
Step 1
If you have more than one user account, and the one in question is not an administrator account, then temporarily promote it to administrator status in the Users & Groups preference pane. To do that, unlock the preference pane using the credentials of an administrator, check the box marked Allow user to administer this computer, then reboot. You can demote the problem account back to standard status when this step has been completed.
Triple-click the following line to select it. Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C):
{ sudo chflags -R nouchg,nouappnd ~ $TMPDIR.. ; sudo chown -R $UID:staff ~ $_ ; sudo chmod -R u+rwX ~ $_ ; chmod -R -N ~ $_ ; } 2> /dev/null
Launch the Terminal application in any of the following ways:
☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
Paste into the Terminal window (command-V). You'll be prompted for your login password, which won't be displayed when you type it. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you don’t have a login password, you’ll need to set one before you can run the command. If you see a message that your username "is not in the sudoers file," then you're not logged in as an administrator.
The command will take a noticeable amount of time to run. Wait for a new line ending in a dollar sign (“$”) to appear, then quit Terminal.
Step 2 (optional)
Step 1 should give you usable permissions in your home folder. This step will restore special attributes set by OS X on some user folders to protect them from unintended deletion or renaming. You can skip this step if you don't consider that protection to be necessary, and if everything is working as expected after step 1.
Boot into Recovery by holding down the key combination command-R at startup. Release the keys when you see a gray screen with a spinning dial.
When the OS X Utilities screen appears, select
Utilities ▹ Terminal
from the menu bar. A Terminal window will open.
In the Terminal window, type this:
res
Press the tab key. The partial command you typed will automatically be completed to this:
resetpassword
Press return. A Reset Password window will open. You’re not going to reset a password.
Select your boot volume ("Macintosh HD," unless you gave it a different name) if not already selected.
Select your username from the menu labeled Select the user account if not already selected.
Under Reset Home Directory Permissions and ACLs, click the Reset button.
Select
 ▹ Restart
from the menu bar.

Apple TV shows a flashing question mark after trying to update

Hello everyone!
I own a first generation Apple TV which I updated succesfully up to v2.1 so far. By then this procedure came along with more or less the same problems I'll describe below - but up to now the updates always worked some day.
Now I wanted to update my ATV to v2.2 and used the usual update feature in the settings. ATV downloads the update, asks for updating and then restarts with an ATV-logo with a flashing question mark.
What I've done next:
1. Pulling out the power plug leads to a restart with the old v2.1
2. Holding down MENU + Minus on the remote restarts the ATV with Apple TV Recovery Mode
2.1 Restart leads to a restart with the old v2.1
2.2 Diagnostic analysis says ATV is free from defects
2.3 Restore resets the ATV to v1.0
3. Now I've got v.1.0
4. Step 1 leads to a restart with v1.0
5. Step 2 to leads to the same results (restart leads to a restart with v1.0)
So what am I to do? I'm out of warranty and don't want to pay for a malfunctioning update feature

Hello everyone!
I own a first generation Apple TV which I updated succesfully up to v2.1 so far. By then this procedure came along with more or less the same problems I'll describe below - but up to now the updates always worked some day.
Now I wanted to update my ATV to v2.2 and used the usual update feature in the settings. ATV downloads the update, asks for updating and then restarts with an ATV-logo with a flashing question mark.
What I've done next:
1. Pulling out the power plug leads to a restart with the old v2.1
2. Holding down MENU + Minus on the remote restarts the ATV with Apple TV Recovery Mode
2.1 Restart leads to a restart with the old v2.1
2.2 Diagnostic analysis says ATV is free from defects
2.3 Restore resets the ATV to v1.0
3. Now I've got v.1.0
4. Step 1 leads to a restart with v1.0
5. Step 2 to leads to the same results (restart leads to a restart with v1.0)
So what am I to do? I'm out of warranty and don't want to pay for a malfunctioning update feature

I had this problem: Disconenct your internet modem and router, plug them back in,make sure the WEP password (if you have one) is right when you reenter it in on your Apple TV, and than try. If that doesn't work, I would d the last resotrt - Take the Apple TV to the nearest Apple Store/Best Buy or Comp. USA (if they're still alive where you live).
Good Luck.

5d Mark III not downloading RAW

Got my 5D Mark III a couple of days back. I took a few pictures in RAW-JPEG. While I tried to download, it launches EOS Utility(latest version) and hangs. I tried the same CF card on 40D and it was able to import without problem. I tried other software like Picasa, Adobe Bridge, iPhoto, Picasa and Adobe are not able to connect to the camera. EOS Utility is able to connect and I was able to remotely control the camera and take photos. I was able to download JPEG only files as well. But when it comes to Raw, the software goes unresponsive and loses connection. Once in a while everything works fine as well (even RAW), that is the strange part
My Computer and softwares are up-to-date. Infact the 5D MIII I got through CPS Load worked fine without issues. I also made sure the CF Card and Cable are also fine.
Is it a known problem? or should I return the camera. Thanks in advance for your response

As Stephen said, any additional info about your system will help indeed.
In my case I'm using Win XP 32 bit in this machine and don't have any problems at all to download RAW+JPG.
I'm using the bundled software that came with the camera (CD/DVD), still didn't update it.
- Just in case, why don't you try uninstalling EOS Utility software and all its additional components, and reinstall it again from the CD/DVD? At least to discard a software malfunction.
- BTW, we found that many USB cables worked fine with 5D Mark II but not with 5D Mark III. After changing the USB cable we were able to connect the camera to the computer without any problem. Sounds weird, but after some use the connectors of some USB cables loosen and don't work properly on some cameras or devices.
