7D Internal Flash (sync?) Problem HELP.

I recently got my 7D back after it was being fixed for a broken cf pin.
The problem now lies with the flash, the flash DOES pop and it does fire, but there's no flash effect on the photo sometimes. Heres 2 photos, same settings but 1 is iso 1600 and the second is iso 2000.
Both photos the flash did pop and did fire.

This is the problem, i can provide a few other examples where the flash did fire (Not only pre fire) and XIF data shows that the flash fired as proof, but isn't showing in the image. The flash was not covered.
Obviously i'm speculating but it is almost as if the flash fires too early or late so that it is not captured in the image? I can't think of why this happens, I never had this problem before the cf card reader replacment.
Firing too late is hard to envision, but firing too early (or appearing to) could result from a sticky first shutter curtain. Possibly the mechanism got damaged when they dismantled the camera to get at the CF socket.
If the problem is that closely tied to the repair, I'd be inclined to send the camera back to the shop. Even if the problem appeared to go away, how could you be sure, given that it's sporadic anyway?
Can you reproduce the problem with an external speedlight instead of the internal flash? If not, it suggests that the problem may be electrical rather than mechanical.
I assume that you've ruled out sluggishness in the pop-up mechanism. That should affect only the first shot in a sequence, since I believe the flash will stay up until it's pushed back down.

IPad syncing problem - HELP!

iPad sync problem - HELP! I keep getting this message "...cannot be synced because there is not enough free space to hold all of the items in the iTunes library (additional ...space needed)" and yet I seem to have plenty of space on the iPad. This just started today. I even tried deleting some things to make even more room, but it didn't help. Any ideas???
I was thinking of restoring, but I've never done it... should I?
thank you!

Audio Going out of sync problem, Help Please

Hey all.
So I have just filmed about 3 hours worth of gaming videos using XSplit recorder,
in a mp4 format, and when I played it back using VLC it all seemed fine.
However I went to import it into premiere to start editing it I noticed the sound was completly out.
I have recorded some audio and video times listed below to show the sync times and how they are out.
Video Audio
00:41:24 - 00:44:09
47:46:25 - 50:11:12
As you can see it gets worse over time.
I could manualy do a time shift on the audio to align it but thats a lot of work as I have multiple clips to edit and would like a proper fix for it
I did some quick research and found one fix was to make the sequence settings the same as the video file, but that didnt work for me.
also trying to conform the video file also didnt help me out.
Anyone have any other ideas?
Thanks In Advance
Thomas

>gaming videos using XSplit recorder
That is a new one to me, but other messages concering screen capture software discusses LOTS of editing problems
Some examples... (may or may not help, but at least some ideas based on other problems)
These are for Premiere Elements, but may help with PPro

New syncing problem - HELP!

Suddenly, I cannot sync my nano. Didn't have a problem before. Have turned firewall off and back on. iTunes works fine until I plug in to sync, and then it crashes. Message: "iTunes has stopped working" immediately appears when I try to sync. Very aggravating. BTW - have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes. Am using HP laptop using Vista Home. Thanks for any help.

BTW - have upgraded to the latest version of iTunes.
Let's doublecheck that. In iTunes, go "Help > About iTunes" and wait for the version number to scroll up from the bottom of the screen.
Does it say 10.1.0.54 ? If so, we need to update you to 10.1.0.56 .
10.1.0.56 won't appear for you in Apple Software Update for Windows if you already have 10.1.0.54 installed. So you'll need to get the installer from the Apple website as per the following document:
[iTunes 10.1 for Windows: iTunes may stop working and need to quit while importing or syncing audio|http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3591]

Hotmail sync problems - HELP! (Nokia N8 - Anna )

Hi
I got a problem with my hotmail sync.
I deleted my account without wanting to, and now i want it back - before I could sync all my folders in the hotmail account, but when i'm trying to make a new account it only syncs the inbox/sent maps? The other maps doesn't even appear on the screen when I go to maps.
How do I set up the account in a way so all maps are sync?
Please help!

I had two hotmail accounts on my nokia c7. one of them stopped to synchronize. I deleted it and I tryed to reconfigure again but it will not let me. I did a soft reset, a hard reset, installed all updates (anna), but still does not leave me. I put the sim in another nokia c7 and let me set up the account correctly. ¿¿¿¿¿¿????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿????????????¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿¿????????????
In nokia care they told me to delete the account in messaging web, before configuring the account in my phone, but it did not work

IPod/iPhoto syncing problem HELP!!

I am writing this in desperation. I tried to sync my 30GB iPhoto library onto my iPod video. iTunes started filling up my hard drive. I had 8GB of free space on my hard drive, and now I have nothing. However 25GB of my iPhoto stuff made it to the iPod. I am wondering - does syncing iPhoto with iPod make iTunes double up the iPhoto? Does it place the entire library in the iTunes folder?
If I freed up more space, and the syncing completed, would the hard drive get back to its original state?` Is iTunes just occupying the space for syncing reasons?
Please help!! Thanks so much!!!

I am also having this problem with an 80G iPod. Anyone out there with a suggestion?

AI artwork can often be flattened in flash by selecting all
and using Ctrl + B (break apart) until
it's all 1 layer of vector data as opposed to several grouped
objects.

6D flash sync problem; flash not reporting to body? Firmware glitch? User error?

I was shooting my 6D today at the aviary. I believe I was in TV mode. Had my Canon 320EX speedlite on. I had been shooting with the flash off but turned it on. The shutter was set at 1/400th. The ISO was, I know, still set from the last room I was in, which was dark, so it is at ISO 3200.
All the birds depicted were actually whole animals; no half-birds were anywhere to be seen.
Anyway, the camera failed to reduce the shutter to the camera's max sync speed (1/180) like you expect it to do. As a result, the flash was clearly out of sync with the shutter.
Also, the metadata says "flash did not fire". But obviously it did fire.
Could this be a firmware glitch? Bad camera? Some obvious user error I am overlooking?

Why do so many people say "fer-tographer"? Do they take "fertographs"?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Assuming the flash & camera are 100% compatible (newer models of bodies aren't always happy with older strobes) AND based on some problems I've had with my 1Ds2 & 580 EX it may be that the flash isn't as far forward into the hot shoe as possible, or even if it is it's not making PERFECT connections on all 5 terminals. I've had that problem a few times & now check for it. If I don't get the result I expect on my test shots (to check exposure) I wiggle & re adjust until I do get the right result.

Shared Photostream Sync Problems - HELP!

Hi - I have an iphone 4 with ios6.
I have set up several shared photostreams and added photos to these and invited subscribers.All that seemed fine, but here's the problems I've experienced and would be interested to know if this is a common/known issue:
1) On one photostream, I have added 187 photos and on the device I added the photos from, I can see all 187 photos. However subscribers can only see 99 of the photos. I looked on my iPad, and I too can only see 99 photos on that device. So...... I deleted the photos and re-added. This time I can see the 187 photos on the source device, and subscribers can only see 129! Is there a known issue with syncing of photos through to a shared photostream.
2) On a second photostream, I added 35 photos. Subscribers could see all photos, as could I on all devices. One hour later, the photostream is empty on my source device and for all subscribers.
3) A friend added me as a subscriber to a photostream of his. I cannot see of the photos despite other subscribers seeing them.
4) Lastly, I deleted one shared stream and started again, but yet again, subscribers can only see a portion of what I have added.
Any advice?
Thanks

Hello jordan0101,

This article should be able to help you.

okay, i went to take a band off my itouch, when you do that you click the box where the check is and it will disappear that way when you sync it will take that particular artist off your itouch. but when i do that it still stays on my itouch.
That will only remove the song(s) if you have the *Sync all checked songs and videos* option enabled from under the iPod's Summary tab.

Using the flash uninstaller/ problems/HELP PLEASE

Look I'm very ill and I can only concentrate so long so
please don't think I'm a jerk. Nothing has gone right as of late,
i'm worried that if i do it wrong flash will not work at all and I
won't be able to fix it. I only can go on the computer certain
times because of headaches.I need to know three things. When using
the flash uninstaller I'm thinkiing it uninstalls all flash
products on your computer? I have two flashplayers that are named
flash player helpers, do they get deleted? I have firefox and IE
browsers, I need to make two downloads right because one is for
firefox and one is for IE? Then Do you need to install the flash
version NPSWF_32 for IE or just instasll the newest flah for IE?
just need to know because I have computer issues and flash now
doesn't work on certain sites. Why would flash stop on some sites
on both browsers? They are two different flash,right. THANKS to
anyone who answered this

The Flash Player is available in two technologies..
1. ActiveX control.. Used by all Windows versions of Internet
Explorer ONLY
2. A plugin. Used by all other browsers and all other OS
Yes, you do need to install both if you use IE and other
browsers.
You should NOT have to worry about uninstalling, unless
something goes wrong with the install, which does happen sometimes.
But for millions of people a day the install goes just fine and
they have no worries.
I don't know what a 'Flash Player helper' is. YOu should NOT
need to worry about the plugin and/or activeX control files
themselves.
Launch IE, go to
http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer
and do the install, then quit IE.
Then launch Firefox and repeat. That plugin install will be
used by anything else on your machine that requires the plugin
(except maybe for google chrome.. i haven't tested that)
You should be OK with the basic update install. If you get
stuck you can open a support webcase and we can guide you. Or in
some cases (especially if troubleshooting can be a challenge) we
recommend taking your machine to a local professional. But that's
fairly rare.

TV Sync Problem Help Please

Ok So I downloaded a TV Show yesterday and after I downloaded it and it synced and worked fine. Then today I plugged it in and it just automatically took the video off. I have sync only checked songs and videos selected and I have 3 videos in my TV Shows list. My iPod contains one video on it, but I have the video thats on it, and the one I just recently downloaded both checked and another one not checked that is not on there. I have checked the other one and synced it and it went on there fine but for some reason I cant get the most recent video I got to sync on to my iPod, what's the problem its veeeeery frustrating. Thanks in advance. Also I just went through and removed, and re added the other tv shows I have by clicking the check mark and hitting sync, but for some reason my newest tv show will still not work.

You may have set your iPod to sync only unwatched episodes.
Connect your iPod, then when the summary screen appears click on the TV shows tab.
Change the preference to what suits you best.
