CANON T3i switches off unexpectedly

Hello everyone!
i have an issue with my canon T3i: sometimes, even though the battery is full, an error message appears asking to replace the battery. It doesn't seem to be a battery issue. Usually I switches off and back on the camera and it works normally, the battery appears to be full. Plus, I tried with differents Canon batteries and SD cards. I tested those batteries and cards on an other camera T3i and it perfectly worked. It seems to be a camera issue.
Do you have any idea of what is the problem?
Thanks in advance
Adrien

I'm guessing something is gumming up the contacts.  
Denatured alcohol on a cotton swab will likely do the trick.  The gunk should stick to the cotton swab and the alcohol will evaporate on it's own.
Use the supplied battery cap on your spare batteries when not in use.  The way gunk mostly like gets into the camera is by first getting on the batteries.  When you slide the battery into the compartment, it jams into those contacts.
Good luck!

  • Switching off unexpectedly

    My 3 year old MacBook is switching off unexpectedly, and it seems to be tied to me watching a video on the internet. It's plugged in, the battery is fully charged. I checked Console (after surfing the forum here) and this is what it looks right before the last time it shut off.

  • Canon iP4500 - Switch OFF Color Management in Leopard 10.5.3

    Hello,
    a few days ago I've got the Canon iP4500; I've downloaded the latest drivers for it (on the Canon web called 2.1, but when installed it says 10.1). I wanted to profile the printer with the EyeOnePhoto spectrometer, so I logically wanted to switch OFF the color management in the printer driver for printing the reference file..
    So, after hours of frustration I must give up: I can't find any way to switch the color management off. In my previous Canon there was an "Color mode: None" option, but for the iP4500 there is only "Standard" and "Vivid", e.g. "None" is missing in the dropdown options.
    I've googled hours and read the online help with no success. The online help says it should be there, in "Color Correction" section. It's not. Am I having too new driver version or am I missing something? I've tried everything possible already, set the color management to "Vendor" and "ColorSync", looked in ColorSync Tool, changed media.. Nothing.. From none application, with any possible setting combination, IT IS NOT THERE..
    Any ideas?
    Thank you very much,
    Andrej

    Unfortunately the Canon inkjet drivers are not provided with an uninstaller, so it requires a manual clean-up. Following is my uninstall/reinstall procedure for the iP series of Canon printers...
    1. Open System Preferences > Print & Fax. Highlight the Canon printer in the Printer list and click the minus ( - ) button.
    2. Hold Control key and click in the empty Printers list. Click on Reset Printing System.
    3. Close Print & Fax
    4. Go to Library > Printers > Canon and delete the contents of the BJPrinter folder.
    5. Go to Library > Receipts and delete the Canon driver package files. The file name will show Canon iP4500 xxx.pkg and there will be one for the Canon CUPS version, most likely showing v10.x.
    6. Go to Library > Preferences and delete the Canon folder.
    7. Empty the Trash
    8. Unplug the Canon USB cable and restart the Mac
    9. Reinstall the version 6.9.2 of the Canon driver.
    10. Once the driver installation is complete, go to Applications > Utilities and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk Permissions option.
    11. Reconnect the Canon USB cable. Then open Print & Fax and see if the Canon printer is listed. If it is, try a test print.
    12. If the printer is not listed, click the plus ( + ) button.
    13. Select the Default view and select the Canon printer connected via the USB port. The Print Using menu should automatically change to Canon IJ Printer. This should be the v6.9.2 driver.
    14. Click Add to add the printer.

  • My iphone 4 switches off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time

    My iphone 4 turns off unexpectedly and does not charge properly every time. Can anyone help

    Hey bigstu29,
    Thanks for the question. To completely isolate the issue, you may want to follow these steps:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    For additional information, see this article:

  • Intel imac switches off unexpectantly and won't turn back on

    It only just started happening after 7 months. I've tried removing and replacing the RAM. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. I unplug and re-plug everthing. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. It turns off after approx. 2 hours and sometimes sooner if I hit the 'dashboard' button on the mouse.

    A couple of things you can do to test that mouse, mopea . . .
    1. Go into System Preferences>Keyboard/Mouse.
    Select the little button at the top (I'm assuming this is what you're called the "Dashboard Button". Then from the pulldown menu, select "Off."
    Does the black screen still happen???
    2. Do you have an older Apple (Non-Mighty) mouse you can use to test?
    It might also be a problem with your power supply.
    Or your (as I understand it) failed attempt at upgrading messed up some files. But let us know about the mouse suggestions above, OK?
    EDIT: Have you tried to apply the 10.4.9 COMBO Update?
    You can find it here:
    ComboUpdate
    (If you do, make sure all your peripherals are unplugged from the Mac first.
    In your case, I would repair permissions before & afterward.)

  • Canon Pixma Pro9000 Mark 2 - HELP! - switching off color management in the print dialog

    Hello

  • IPhone unexpected switch on & switch off

    hey guys my iphone 4 has some problem, when I connect to charger before starting the fone it shows low battery then comes the apple logo then on the lock screen it shows full battery when I unplug the Charger it gets switched off or after starting it gets switched off in 2 or 3 mins. any solution??????????????

    Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back again. If this does not help, set it up "as new device" How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If still no luck, repeat the set up again, this time without using the latest backup, in case it contains corrupt data causing your problem.
    If your device is not recognized by iTunes due to switching on and off, try to connect in recovery mode, explained here: iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to restore

  • Canon T3i Rebel won't turn on( Intermittently)

    Hi,
    My Canon T3i Rebel sometimes goes off while I am shooting. When I try to get it back, it just won't turn on. Now if I take the memory card and the battery out, leave it overnight and next day re-assemble them and turn it on it MAY or MAY NOT turn on.
    I tried to isolate the scenarios and check where the problem is but couldn't find a cause.
    1. Cannot be a problem with memory cards: I tried using different SD Cards but no avail. Atleast when I take the card out and try to start the camera, it should get turned on with a message 'No Card'. Sometimes it does get turned on, sometimes in doesn't.
    2. Can't be a problem with the battery : I tried using different batteries fully charged, yet the same problem persists.
    3. Can't be a problem with the micro switches: If that was a problem the camera wouldn't get turned on AT ALL. Sometimes it does get turned on.
    I had sent it out for repair to the Canon master service center. They couldn't find any error logs. They changed the PCB, but it did not help either.
    Steps to reproduce:
    1. Turn on the Camera
    2. Use different lenses
    3. Use different modes ' Auto / Manual/Video '. Set the lenses to different modes: 'A/F' and 'Manual Focus'.
    4. Click pictures.
    Error noticed:
    The camera would automatically get turned off at some point of time. Switch on the camera. It wouldn't turn on.
    Turn off the camera, take the battery and cards out and re-assemble them. Switch on the camera. It wouldn't turn on.
    Take the card and battery out. Leave it overnight. Re-assemble them. Switch on the camera. It MIGHT nor MIGHT NOT turn on.
    I bought this camera from amazon usa. It has 3 years US and Canada warranty. I am using this in India, so I am not able to avail the warranty.
    Please help. 

    Hi ozkucur.
    Yeah, I luckily did manage to get this resolved. There was an internal loose connection at some contact point with the SD card unit. The service center guy noticed this after I resent it for repair.They fixed it and finally my camera is working.
    They had initially re-placed the PCB unit box but that didn't help. They had forgotten to check the loose contact that was there which was actually causing the issue. I ended up spending Rs 5700 i.e. approx equal to $93. But it doesn't matter now. I m happy that my camera is finally working. It's a huge relief.
    You too might be having a similar problem. Ask the repair guy to check and fix all the contact points and do a rigourous testing. It should sort out the problem. Hope this helps.

  • CS6: Can't switch off color management in the printerdriver when photoshop manages colors

    So this is weird: I'm using CS6 Extended and Lightroom 5 on a Windows 7 Pro machine, printing to an old Canon Pixma Ip5200R. When i print from Lightroom, i am using a special printer profile for the pixma and my photopaper, so color management is switched off in the printer driver. The photos print fine.
    Now when i print the same photo from CS6, it has a magenta color cast, so clearly something is wrong with the color management. Even though i am using the same printer, the same paper, the same printer profile and  - of course! - had set photoshop to manage the colors, and switched color managent off in the printer driver. The magenta cast could be an indication that the photo is double colormanaged.
    It took my quite a while to find out what happens, and this is really weird: When i re-checked the printer driver settings, i noticed that the color management settings did not stick. The canon printer driver offers the options "driver matching" "windows ICM" "none", e.g. having color management done by the printer driver or windows, or switch color management  off. So when i go to the PS print settings and set it to "photoshop manages colors", add the correct printer profile, i have to check the settings in the printer driver and make sure that color management is set to "none". I set it to "none" and click OK. Now everything should be configured correctly. But it's not - because when i re-check the print driver settings, i see color management is set to "diver matching". I can go to the print driver settings again and agian, but whenever i check, color management is set to "driver matching". This setting simply does not stick. No wonder i get a mangenta cast on my prints, the colors are doublemanaged by photoshop AND my printer driver.
    Now, this is getting weirder: Only the color management settings don't stick. I can change other settings like print quality and the stick.
    But - how do i get rid of this? The culprit seems to be photoshop, not the printer driver. If i print from lightroom, i can change the color management settings in the (very same) printer driver and they stick. When i set the photoshop print dialogue to "printer manages colors" i can change the color management settings in the (very same) printer driver - and they stick! So this looks as if photoshop stops me intentionally from using the correct printer driver settings, that is from switching off the printer drivers color management if it is set to manage colors.
    I have already resetted my personal photoshop preferences, but this changed nothing. What am i missing? What is going wrong? Your help is very appreciated.

    Hi all, Just to let you know that I finally solved my problem myself.
    Essentially what had occurred was that I had updated my Epson driver for my printer , but it hadn't installed, despite informing me that it had! To cut a long story short when I checked in System preferences the older driver for Leopard O/S was still the current driver. I proceeded to ask Epson support for assistance, bu despite their efforts I could not immediately resolve the problem. They were directing me to my Utilities program to remove all traces of my current driver from Printer Utility which did not exist. When I queried this they stated it was not always visible and I should proceed to the next step then install the new driver. Problem was they required me to access this invisible utility in order to complete this process, and yes before you ask I had informed them I was using an Intel Mac with Snow Leopard 10.6.2 O/S. Finally I ignored their advice and took the following steps:
    1. I opened System Preferences and double clicked the Printer & Fax icon.
    2. I highlighted my Epson R2400 Pinter and removed it by clicking the minus sign at the bottom of the Printers window.
    3. Next I did a search and deleted any old drivers for my R2400 that were on my system with the exception of the new Driver.
    4. I restarted my Mac Pro.
    5. I reinstalled my new printer driver which I had previously downloaded from Epson Support.
    6. I restarted my Mac Pro and found that the new driver had installed correctly and full functionality had been returned to the Print Features Dialogue box i.e I could now turn of color management and access advanced features to set the quality of printing using the full spec of the R2400.
    Hope this post will be helpful to others if they have a similar problem

  • Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage

    Dear Support,
    Is there a possibility to switch off in Firefox the functionality of quick launch key (additional key in laptop) that cause to run the homepage. I would like to switch this functionality off, because the key is malfunctioned and always pressed. I was able to switch off the functionality of this key in Windows system by deleting entries in registry Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey. After this change, when somebody works in system the Firefox is not running is not launching all the time. But when I open the Firefox the setting in system is overwritten and when I am using it Firefox returns to the homepage instantly. I think because of this quick launch button. I tried to change settings in about:config like browser.startup.homepage, browser.startup.homepage_override, startup.homepage_override_url,… this is for Firefox version is 10.0.2
    Thank you
    Best Regards

    Hi,
    Thank you for your interesst.
    This internet button key is one of buttons located above the keyboard near the power button. What I have achieved to this moment was to stop it functionality in the system by clearing the entries in the fields Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\17\ShellExecute and entry
    Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\AppKey\7\Association that was http
    After these changes in registry the behavior of the button was suppressed, the Firefox stopped to start unexpectedly all the time – so in system it works. But the problem is still when I have opened Firefox. Every time when you want to surf in internet – the homepage is activated also unexpectedly. I wrote this post with intention to ask if there is a possibility to switch off the functionality of this quick launch button in Firefox. Because I assume Firefox overrides the system setup – this I have made in registry. I tried with some option changes in about:config but without success. And I know that for older versions of firefox was some option in about:config do disable_quick launch button. But in 10.0.2 I couldn't locate it.
    Thank you
    Regards
