6D battery drain temporary 'Work Around'

6D battery drain - "Work Around"
Install the Canon Battery Grip. 
Step 1.  Turn the battery lock to 'Open'.and leave it unlocked
      (Batteries are now disconnected from camera)
Step 2    Use a rubber band to hold battery tray in.
====================================
NOTE:: If Canon will not make a fix, possibly the after-market suppliers of the 'Grip' will make a three position latch.
A 'Modified' grip could easily be manufactured by modifying the tray and latch assembly.
Position 1.  Power disconnected and tray locked in (6:00 clock position)
Position 2.  Tray unlocked (Similar position as present)
Position 3.  Tray is locked and power is connect. (Same position as present and battery drain will continue as it does now..)
GET WITH IT CANON....   Or let the after-market fix it with their 'Grip'

6D Battery drain "Fast Stop" using the Canon '6D Grip'
I am enjoying using only one switch movement  to turn my 6D ON/OFF and not having any battery drain.
1.   Leave camera switch in the ON position
2.   Place a sturdy rubber band around the Canon Battery Grip to stop battery tray from coming out
3.   Turn the Grip battery tray 'Latch' to OPEN/CLOSE (Effectively ON/OFF)
4.    Making my Grip latch as my on and off switch for the camera and stopping the battery drain by the GPS operation
5.    My 6D camera is now always ready for that one of a kind picture

  • IOS5 Battery Drain -- Temporary Fix

    One of the things I always admired about both iPad1 & 2, was their amazing battery life. Even as a hardcore user, I would still have enough charge at night, after using the iPad all day. When not in use, the battery drain was almost 0%.
    I updated to iOS5 on 12 October, and to my disgust, I have a complete battery drain on all my iDevices. At 100% charge, without using my second iPad whatsoever, with no apps running in the background, I ended up at 26% today in TWO HOURS. This is outrageous.
    This is a plea to Apple to fix this, because the temporary fix of deleting all your email connexions, and then redoing them, is not an acceptable workaround for an update problem which should've been addressed immediately when it appeared on iOS5 Beta. Google, and you'll see all the complaints about this around June 2011, when the Beta of iOS5 came out.
    To recap: Delete all your email accounts, and the re-add them. Also, be aware that iCloud syncing & Location services drain the battery. Your battery will still drain much more than with iOS4.x.x after deleting and re-adding the email account(s), but it's the only way to stop the battery from overheating within a matter of minutes.
    Here is the link to Mac Rumours Forum where I found the "fix".

    I have been having this problem since upgrading to IOS 7. My wifi field was greyed out so you could NOT turn it on. I heated it with a blow drier til it said it was too hot to use except for emergency calls. I then cooled it in freezer and my wifi was turned on and it connected to my home wifi network. very Cool and thank you so much! I was pulling my hair out on this issue....jfshotgun

  • Printing Problem Solved (Temporary Work-around)

    I've posted before, and others have posted here and elsewhere, about problems printing with Aperture since upgrading to Leopard. In my case, it's been with an Epson R1800.
    Well, believe it or not, with the help of Epson support on the phone, I've figured this out. First of all, there is definitely a problem with Aperture's (or Leopard's) color management. What used to work (setting a color profile in the Aperture print dialog, and selecting "no color management" in the printer dialog) definitely does not work correctly at this point.
    If you want color management, what you have to do is select "System Managed" in the Aperture print dialog, and select (for Epson) "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog. What this does is select the standard Epson profile for the paper you have selected. For example, if you've chosen Epson Premium Glossy Photo Paper, the printer driver will use the "SPR1800 Premium Glossy" profile (Epson's standard profile for that paper, assuming you've downloaded it). Of course, that gives you Epson's version of what you want to print. If you have created your own profiles, using a spectrophotometer for example, you need to get the printer driver to apply YOUR profile instead of Epson's.
    Here's how to apply your profile: Open Colorsync (in the Utilities folder), and select "Printers" in the Devices menu. Under the printer model, Stylus Photo R1800, in my case, select the profile for the paper you're interested in, say "SPR1800 Premium Glossy", and look on the right side of the window at "Current Profile:". Click the down arrow, and select "Other". Navigate to the profile you've created, and click "Open". This will set the profile you've created as what the printer driver will use when it thinks it's applying the SPR1800 Premium Glossy profile. Set other paper profiles (e.g., "SPR1800 Enhanced Matte") to whatever profile you've created for those papers.
    Now, when you select "System Managed" in the Aperture dialog, and "Color Controls - Epson Standard" in the Epson dialog, it will apply your own profile.
    Hopefully, Apple will fix the problem with color management, and we'll be able to go back to color management as it was before. In the meantime, this is the only work-around I've found.

    I was/am totally a Mac guy, meaning my roots were System 7 based, and my knowledge of all things UNIX is being built slowly as needed in the OS X world. While I can make Photoshop & Aperture (and the GUI portions of OS X) stand on their heads and do backflips for treats I can't, with much conviction, speak on the roots of UNIX drivers. I think, and someone please correct me if I'm wrong, that Gutenprint drivers are CUPS 'compatible' drivers, but not necessarily "CUPS" drivers in that they work with other printing platforms as well. Here are some sources of info:
    http://gimp-print.sourceforge.net/
    http://www.cups.org/
    The Gutenprint drivers may be the CUPS drivers for the Epson printer, I don't know for sure. On the Canon site, there are two drivers available for download for the Pro9000. One labeled standard, the other labeled CUPS. By default, when adding the printer, my system uses the CUPS driver. I can actually have the Pro9000 added twice, once with the CUPS driver, once with the standard driver. I spoke with an Canon engineer the other day, and contrary to the advice you get from the standard phone support reps, he told me to definitely use the CUPS driver when printing RAW or 16-bit images from Photoshop or Aperture, as it's the only way to do 16-bit printing.

  • Temporary work around solution to no black print Photosmart 6515

    After exhaustive research I am passing on a work around that actually got the black back:  change your 6515 driver to a Photosmart 3300 driver. No color, but it prints black now.  If anyone has a driver that works better please let me know!

    The black ink used in the Photosmart 6515 is pigmented and not compatible with photo paper.  Do you have photo paper selected in the Photosmart 3300 driver settings?  In this case it would appear black is printing but the printer will actually use the dye based color inks to mix and make "black".
    I see from your other thread that you have gone through the standard troubleshooting steps and black is not printing properly on your test pages.  I will ask to have one of the HP Support folks step into this thread, they may have other alternatives.

  • ITunes Stream Stuttering and Crackling Noises (Temporary Work Around Option

    Note: If you don’t take the time from your busy schedule to address these suggestions being provided in this and future upcoming series, then by all mean continue with what you were doing before and continue to experience the frustrations and problems. The series is not meant to be a cure-all for the problems you are having. But the information will go a long way toward correcting and improving a lot of issues that you may be having with your system. Think About It !!!!!!!!!!
    I listen to the radio a lot using the iTunes player as well as listen to music that I have transferred to the player. When a problem occurs it aggravates me to no end especially if it is occurring when I am try to relax to my music. At times I am also experiencing the stuttering and crackling issues in the 7.0 update that has been recently released. The following information can be useful in temporarily correcting this problem until Apple comes up with a patch to resolve this issue. If you choose to proceed with implementing this information then you assume any liability that may occur during your attempts at using and applying this information. This information has so far suited any needs that I may or am currently having to date personally.
    1)Quick Time Preferences – In the Quick Time Preferences\Audio tab check to make sure that the settings are at the default level. Your platform may reflect a different khz Rate. On my platform my default level will be the following:
    Rate: 44.1 khz
    Size: 16 bit
    Channels: Stereo (L R)
    When I listen to my music I like a good quality stereo sound so I have my audio sound routed from my laptop to my CD or Video jacks in the back of my stereo. Stereo System: Pioneer SX 251R Receiver. External Speakers: 2 - 8 ohm Yamaha.
    Make sure the Safe Mode box is unchecked. Close the Quick Time player. Now, when you begin experiencing the stutter problem there are two immediate steps that you can try to correct the problem:
    1)Stop the stream or the music that you are listening too and restart the service each time that the event occurs, (In my case the events that have been occurring has not been consistent when they do occur. Close monitoring in place on all connection ports. Running Snap In’s deployed: IPSec Monitor/MMC Console– Currently monitoring IKE and IPSec Statistics for any changes. To run this snap in properly the Event Monitor must be in the running state and actively logging events in the Administrative\Event Viewer Folder) I will also be configuring Dr Watson to generate a Stack and Dump file log to the desk top in the event of an unexpected occurrence. or,
    2)If that does not correct the problem then try the following: Go to the My Computer folder and open it up. When you have done so, Right click the Local Disk and enter the Properties section. When the Local Disk Properties box comes up, enter the Tools tab, in the Error Checking section, place a check mark in the “Automatically Fix System Errors” and click start\yes. Back out of that and close all running programs including firewall in the tray next to your clock and reboot the system.
    Once you have rebooted run the Disk Cleanup utility and the Disk Defragmenter utility. While we are using the Disk Defragmenter lets take an extra step to insure that we defragging the hard drive volumes as much as possible. Click on the analyze button a second time. If there are any entries in the box highlight the first entry and run the Defrag utility a second time.
    Tip! If you would get in the habit of running defrag process regularly on a daily basis it will help improve the overall baseline performance of your machine.
    Last Step: Open your player and try again.
    If you are still experiencing the problem and it hasn’t leveled out to your satisfaction then there are two additional steps that I have personally used or am currently using that may help with your issues. The steps will involve installing a small batch file program and a hot fix patch.
    User Profile Hive Cleanup Service– (Batch Program) Open your Browser and type in the following address: www.microsft.com once the page has loaded look for the search bar in the upper right hand corner of the page. In the search bar type in the following: “User Profile Hive Cleanup Service”. Once the search result page comes up click on the first result to bring up the proper download page. Before you can use this batch program you will be required to go through a short validation process before you can download the program. The validation process is to ensure that you are running a genuine windows platform.
    Overview
    The User Profile Hive Cleanup service helps to ensure user sessions are completely terminated when a user logs off. System processes and applications occasionally maintain connections to registry keys in the user profile after a user logs off. In those cases the user session is prevented from completely ending. This can result in problems when using Roaming User Profiles in a server environment or when using locked profiles as implemented through the Shared Computer Toolkit for Windows XP.
    On Windows 2000 you can benefit from this service if the application event log shows event id 1000 where the message text indicates that the profile is not unloading and that the error is "Access is denied". On Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 either event ids 1517 and 1524 indicate the same profile unload problem.
    To accomplish this the service monitors for logged off users that still have registry hives loaded. When that happens the service determines which application have handles opened to the hives and releases them. It logs the application name and what registry keys were left open. After this the system finishes unloading the profile.
    Once you have downloaded and installed the batch file close all running programs and reboot. Now, ‘This is important”, lets determine if the batch file is properly running after installation. Go to Start\Help and Support. Once the Help and Support Center comes up click on the following link: “Use tools to view your computer information and diagnose problems” under the “Pick a task” section. Once the page has been loaded in the left hand pane click on the “Advanced System Information” link. Once that page has been loaded click on the following link: View detailed system information (Msinfo32.exe).
    Once the System Information box is loaded look in the left pane and open the Software Environment Tree and click on the following link: Windows Error Reporting. If the batch program is properly running you should see the following entry: “User profile hive cleanup service version 1.6.30.0 started successfully
    &#x00a”. The ending symbols may be different on your platform.
    Now, we want to go to another location in your system to verify this entry and that this service is properly working again. Pull up your “Control Panel” and enter the “Administrative Tools” folder. Once there enter the “Event Viewer” folder. Then enter the “Application Folder”. If the service is properly working the following entry will be logged: User profile hive cleanup service version 1.6.30.0 started successfully, Event ID 1001. If for some reason this program is not functioning properly a different error code other then the Event Id 1001 will be generated and logged in this folder. Also if one is generated you will want to verify if it’s a genuine error. To do this you need to go back into the help and support center Advanced System Information link and click on the following link: “View the error log”. If anything goes wrong a corresponding general entry that was logged in the Event Viewer will be logged in this link verifying that a problem had occurred. All of the information in the logs will be useful in your trouble shooting efforts. To date I have not had any measurable conflicts to occur while using this batch program to date. Closing Overview: when this program engages it will target itself at the Kernel System only at shutdown and startup. A corresponding entry will be made in the folders that I have described above stating that the program had started or failed.
    System Restore Feature and USB Device’s – Event Viewer\System and Application Folders\Event ID SR 1 (Hot Fix Patch) – I have noticed that some folks are loading and unloading iTunes in attempt to correct problems. Also, I see by the forum board that a lot of folks are having a lot of problems with their iPods. Think about this for a moment, iPods will have their own unique set of drivers to operate from. I am going to attempt to explain an experience that occurred with me last year on this issue. When working with USB Devices it is important to keep your eyes on the Event Viewer folders for the following event id being logged: Event ID SR 1. This is especially true if you are using your System Restore Feature. The main folders that you want to keep your eyes on are the “System\Application” folders.
    I have not witnessed any specific Software Applications generating this code in general at this point in time. But when it comes to Software and USB Devices I have personally experienced a situation that did cause a SR 1 entry last year. Example: My wife has Sevier medical problems. When we travel I keep a USB Flash Drive on my key chain with her medical information installed in case of an emergence. The Medic Alert E-Health Key was a new device that came out that had bugs that needed resolved just as with iTunes 7.0. The short of the story is that the flash drive was conflicting with the System Restore Feature, which led to additional problems such as conflicts in the Add/Remove Utility. I could not properly unload the Uninstall .Dll files when trying to uninstall the flash drive itself using the Add/Remove Utility. During a conversation with a Microsoft Support tech I was informed that other unloading issues had also been identified in the Add/Remove Utility. I could be wrong but I think there is a patch available that would help with unloading issues while using the Add/Remove Utility. To keep an eye on any possible loading/unloading issues that I may have while using the Add/Remove Utility, I use the following program to determine if there any issue’s that I need to deal with: (30 Day Trial Program-Fully Functional)
    http://www.mikasalonen.com/remove/?remove40
    Program Name: Remove 4.0. All of the information you need to know about this program will be summarized in the provided link. If anything: USE IT !!!!
    NOTE: This SR 1 patch is only a temporary hot fix. They are suggesting that we wait until the next Windows XP service pack release that contains the hot fix.
    Article Id : 888402
    Last Review : June 01, 2006
    Revision : 1.5
    Also keep this in mind. The only time that you want to become concerned about the SR 1 issue is when you notice an increase in the number of SR 1 entries in Event viewer logs. If you are logging two (2) or more events then I would begin investigating the problem. Again, In my case the System Restore Feature was identified as the initial cause of conflict when the conflict first occurred when loading the USB Flash Drivers. So, if you suddenly notice this entry in the Event Viewer then you can pretty much bet that you are experiencing a USB issue that is conflicting with the System Restore Feature. But there is a Hot Fix available to temporarily resolve this issue as I have stated. Go back to the Microsoft link that was provided. When the page loads, in the search bar in the upper right hand corner of the page type in the following KB 888402. Be Advised – if you have to resort to this measure you will have to contact the Microsoft Support Team directly by phone to receive this patch.
    When you talk to the tech you will need to provide the following information: A brief description if the Event being generated in the Event Viewer as well as a brief description of the problem that you are having. Once the tech has verified the information he/she will e-mail the hot fix to you in a zip folder if I’m not mistaken.
    System and Third Party Drivers
    Drivers can be another source of conflict that can have a direct impact on how your system operates. I have already given you an example of this in the System Restore/USB Devices section. They can also cause unexpected stability issues. In addition to that malicious Root Kits and Trojans can download drivers on your hard drive without your knowledge further complicating matters. So, before I close this information out let me show you how we can quickly gather and display a listing of all drivers that are currently installed on you hard drive by using a very simple program. (This program will be a 15-day Trial program).
    Program Name: My Drivers 3.11
    With this program you will be able filter out all preinstalled drivers that came with the system at the time of purchase, thus exposing the remaining Third Party drivers and as well as the Unknowns. If you know what your doing I would take this time now and disable the drive(s) in question if removal procedures are deemed necessary once you have obtained the driver listing. My overall objective with this program is to immediately determine if there is anything out of the norm with the drivers overall.
    A download link is unavailable at this time. The web site appears to be under construction at this time.
    As a final step on this issue I suggest keeping an eye on the Device Manager for any sudden “Yellow Warning Symbols” appearing within the Device Manager Tree Structure.
    Print this information off and us it as a reference point. Any new helpful hints that I can think of will be posted as soon as I can squeeze the time in.

  • Temporary work around app store problem

    Until apple fixes the problem you can still d/l apps if you can at least get into the app store. If you can, enter whatever app your looking for in the "search" box,,,if that then gives you a drop down menu click on something in that menu and it should take you to the apps,,,this is a round about way of doing it but it will work until apple figures out that many of us here can't access the apps the normal way.

    Some users report it's working now.

  • IOS 8.1.1 Spotlight not working (temporary work around)

    Spotlight for me is an important way to get to contacts and applications on my iPhone and iPad. With the latest iOS 8.1.1 release, the spotlight feature on my iPhone stopped working completely and the only way to get it to work was rebooting the phone. Even after that it only worked for half an hour (tops)!! My iPad on the other hand had no issues at all.
    After going through a lot of forums, I limited my spotlight search to contacts and applications and reboote my phone. The problem seems to have gone away and I can finally work my phone with ease.
    Give this a try until Apple get their act together and roll out iOS 8.1.2.
    P.S - Restarting your iPhone or your iPad is NECESSARY after you've limited your options in the spotlight menu.
    P.S.S - I'm not sure if this will work for those with the same issue on their iPads but it's worth a try

    Same issue, Spotlight not working as it did, on my iPhone 5S and iPad 3 after 8.1.1. Very frustrating, I'm beginning to think I should do as a Windows user and avoid updates because Apple's QA has really become terrible. Every release is full of bugs, way more so than in the past. I used to look forward to updates, not any more. Wow, sad. I've done a restore but the problem comes back, Apple needs to fix this issue and maybe take some of it's billions and invest back in quality. Please.

  • Shortly after loading,the latest version,downloaded and installed here 5/22/13, reports an error with ntdll.dll forcing a shutdown.  Apple's temporary work around works for me; launch  Itunes while first pressing  and holding CtrlShift keys ...

    This  startsitunes in it's own  "safe mode", allowing normal functions.

    By running in safe mode the plug-ins are not running. The issue may be caused by a plug-in.
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430  gives instructions on how to manage/troubleshoot 3rd part plug-ins.
    Try the knowledge base and let us know.

  • Question mark not working, as well as others- can I work around by programming another key for this symbol

    The question mark-slash key, the semi-colon key, the eject key, don't work at all as a result of getting wet. Can I do a temporary work-around by assigning another key (like the f11 or f12) to use until I get a "proper" fix>(that's a q-mark...)

    Get the keyboard replaced is best, it's going to go eventually.

  • My iTunes 7 woes and subsiquent work around

    When I try and launch iTunes, I get a error message that says "Can't launch iTunes because some files are missing" or some jazz. After a little playing around, i found that when I kill iTunesHelper.exe and relaunch it (it's in the itunes directory) iTunes will launch. Except that everytime I quit iTunes and then try to launch it again later, I have to go through these same steps. Like I said, it's a temporary work around. At any rate this may be the same problem that many of you are having but are just not getting the error that I am seeing.

    This new version *****. I'm going back to 6.0.
    Make note (for PC users): "DO NOT UPGRADE TO WINDOWS VISTA UNTIL ALL THE MAJOR BUGS ARE FIXED" which will probably be 6 to 12 months after it is released to the public.

  • A fix that works for your battery drain with iOS 8.2

    After I updated my iPhone 4s to the new iOS 8.2 I found my battery life had become terrible.  I could barely make it through an 8 hour day at work before my phone would die.  It was so bad that I had to get myself a second charger to plug it in during the day.  Even then, if I used the phone at all, it would still lose its charge while plugged in.
    Before this update, my phone would easily last through the day and would not need to be plugged in before I went to bed.  Even at midnight when I'd go to rest for the night, my phone was never below 70% and most times it would still be well above 80% but not so with iOS 8.2  So here is a fix I found on another forum somewhere.  I was desperate so I tried it and low and behold, it worked great.
    Here goes:
    Let your phone die completely until it turns off by itself
    Plug it in your charger until it comes back on again (around 6% for mine)
    Turn it back off using the top button and the slider on the phone
    Leave it plugged in for 2 to 3 hours or until you figure it would have reached 100%
    Unplug the phone and turn it on
    Now reboot your device (turn it off and back on again)
    That's it.  This fixed it for me and for many on the forum where this was posted.  My battery life is back to what it was before my update to iOS 8.2.  I have plenty of battery life left when I get home after work.
    Try it and pass it on....it works.

    Use the Settings app to determine what apps or processes are using your battery the most. Once you know what is causing the battery drain you can take steps to reduce it.
    Settings > General > Usage > Battery Usage
    Wait a few seconds for the device to bring up the list of apps with their battery usage.

  • Pictures missing in photo stream after empty-battery + work around

    I recently had a situation where synchronizing photos between my iOS7 and MacOS 10.9 devices failed and/or showed strange effects (individual pictures missing).
    After a day of annoying experiences I realised that the problems started after the iPhone (that I use for taking photos) had switched itself off due to an empty battery (there's just too much to see at the Carneval in Venice ;-) After fully charging the iPhone I took more photos but some (!) of the new photos (and some of the older photos) did not sync.
    WORK AROUND: restarted the iPhone once more.

    Summary
    Photo stream IS "Recently Added" as well as "Recently Taken" combined.  If it was taken with this phone, it can be favorited.  If not, there's no favorite (heart) icon.
    Details
    So I have 2 iphones I use, one for work, one personal.  I do very little with the work one and never had photo stream turned on but I use the same itunes account for both so I can share itunes match and photos and contacts if/when I chose to.
    I was confused about where photo stream went as well.
    So prior to turning on photo steam on my work phone, I saw that I had 4 photos (mostly screen shots) on the work phone, under "recently added".  I took a picture with the phone to be sure.  Yup, it was added to recently added but not "summarized" (not sure why it wasn't summarized but nothing else is on that phone).
    I have other settings to "default" including having "summarize photos" turned on.
    I then turned on "My Photo Stream" and saw photos start getting added to "Recently Added".  The count ended up being around 625 which is huge, but much less than the 1000 on my windows Photo Stream, and less than the 661 or so on my personal phone.  Not sure if this is the 30 days limitation on my personal or what the limitation is on my work phone.
    FYI, did all this with wifi so the download was moderately fast.
    Another thing of note.  Photos that were taken with the same phone have the favorite icon (the heart).  Photos taken on the other phone do not.  So that's how to tell if it's only on the photo stream.

  • My photo want sync and my you tube doesn't work after update and my battery drains fast.

    this new update doesn't work like i should work my photo doesn't upload my you tube doesn't work & my battery drain faster than ever now

    Synching new photos from iPhone to the new Photos app on the iMac is incredibly slow. Placeholders for the photos do appear but the content stays white (initially) then black. As an example, I started the Photos app some 15 minutes ago and am still waiting for the synch of merely 11 photos to complete.
    Since I agreed to pay 4.99 euro per month to extend online storage to 200 GB, I would expect flawless behavior. I am disappointed.

  • HT4623 i installed the latest update to fix the battery drain , but it didnt work !! what should i do ? re-install an earlier OS ??

    i installed the latest os update to fix the battery drain problem.......

    I have exactly the same problem, error messages as you say, and unable to open iTunes.
    Is there a bug with this latest update?

  • Temporary Fix for battery drain for iOS 5

    After going through various recommendations, the following worked for me:
    1. Notifcations - Settings -> Notifications
         Under the 'In Notifcation Center' category, select Calendar and turn the Notification Center option 'OFF"
         This seems to be the main problem for those that have their exchange accounts synced with their phones.
         In addition, I also removed all other items from Notification Center except for Weather and it seemed to slow down the battery drain considerably.
    2. Location Services - Settings -> Location Services
         You can see what apps/services have been using or currently using the location service by noticing a grey or purple arrow next to the line item. Go through what items have the location service ON, and see if you really require some of them to access your location information, the less the better.
    This helped a LOT: Scroll down to the bottom and access 'System Services'. Under 'System Services' uncheck all except 'Cell Network Search', .Compass Calibration' & 'Traffic'.
    3. Let the battery drain completely until the phone switches off on its own, then charge it to 100% without using the phone. Not sure if this really helped, but I wanted to try as many options as possible.
    I think the drain is due to a combination of different issues, and hope Apple release a patch soon to fix this annoying problem, till then I hope the above helps.

    The 3G option. WHEN that option is off, iphone is connected to your operators 2g network! Because 3G has often weaker signals then 2G
    Good luck!
