G1X Lens not retract. Help!! On vacation in Europe ... with no camera!

New G1X. Probably less than 400 shots. Lens extended all the way and froze. Changed battery. Start up - green power light on, lens moves very slightly out and then a kind of grinding, rhythmic sound .... stuck. LED is basically white except (1) on the right third there is (a) several colored (green, red,) vertical lines and (b) a black image that looks like a feather, (2) the 'HS' (?) blue logo is very faint.
Any help much appreciated. First time I have ever had a problem with a digital
Thanks,
Gene3627.

Nokia 808 camera lens not working - help

Hi, my Nokia 808 camera shutter is not opening or closing. It is stuck in a half opened state. M is there anything I can do, before sending in for repairs, to try and reset the shutter? I can't take any photos as they end up over exposed! Thanks

If it's mechanical shutter has failed you have no choice other than to return your 808 to Nokia Care facility for repair!

PSCS6 no longer recognizes my CR2 files and will not open. Using Canon 5DMark III with updated Camera Raw . It has worked before but now won't open files from this camera.

I have been able to open files from this camera before but still checked for latest Camera Raw download. Still won't open files from this camera. Opens files from my 60D just fine. I downloaded the latest and it has worked before. What the heck is going on?

Glad to be of help. But I'm curious (not critical of what you are doing) to know why so many people like to use Nikon Transfer to transfer their files to the computer. It is still necessary to import them into Lightroom. And, from my perspective, it seems simpler and maybe even a little quicker to use the Lightroom import dialog. I have Nikon cameras, and have never even installed the Nikon Transfer utility. What is so unique about it?

BPS retraction of Quantity in CO OM not retracting at all !

Hi everybody, I post after many and many trials.
I am retracting Primary Costs ( we have planned on CostElements for CO-OM Internal Orders) and I followed the blogs etc. Everything is fine for the Amount and it retracts ok by Posting Period but the quantities are not retracting at all.
I also fixed the Unit as H as suggested because the quantity is in Hours and the R3 system expect that I retract hours for the CostElement related to Cost of Personnell.
I don't move out from this position since long and I should deliver the project in 10 days .
Any help is really really welcome.
I used CCA retractor. This is the Parameter Group

Hi Marc,
first of all my personal compliments because very often I follow your posts .
Your answer let me "smell" the right way . Before to post I already debugged the retraction but at first look, if you don't feel that also somebody else found mistakes you can debug for hours and all looks fine. So this time I debugged with more attention and I found something strange in the Unit of Measures. In R3 the Cost Element expect H as Hours but in the RFC was going the quantity without the Unit of Measure. As I remember also in the blog about retraction the author said to take care about UOM. So I checked better Retraction about UOM and I found a OSS note . Anyway if this thread can be of help, I put here the list of OSS notes to be checked.
The system where I work is always updated but I remember that sometimes especially in some cases where you miss some PIns or for many other reasons, (not good upgrades for example) the system in some part can remain not updated even if there are the proper HP.
If I can help anybody with similar problems if JUST SEARCHING for LUPREF02 in OSS NOTES you will find many !!!!

Can not view help in any adobe product

In Photoshop, Bridge & Device Central, Adobe Help Viewer 1.1 opens with message "This topic is in the Help system of another product. To view the topic, install that product. about:blank"
In Adobe Reader, Adobe Help Viewer has message "File not found. about:blank"
In all cases the product name then chosen from the "help for:" pull-down menu only displays momentarily before leaving the "help for:" field empty again.
I run win XP with SP2 & Photoshop CS3 Extended (English version).
All latest Adobe updates are installed. I updated Adobe Help Viewer to version 1.1.198 for Danish windows (as per knowledgebase} to no effect & reset preferences with control+alt+shift+ click help which didn't appear to do anything.
Opening help via C\prog files\adobe\adobe help viewer 1.1\ahv.exe results in the same message etc.
All the photoshop help files are in C\prog files\common files\adobe\help\ en.us\photoshop\10.0 & help works ok clicking on help.html
After four PS reinstalls & a week of patiently reading posts, I've found similar CS2 problems but CS3 help file layout is different & I'm not good enough to translate.
Any help would be appreciated.

In the Music tab of iTunes, do you have 'Include Voice Memos' checked?

Not a solution yet, but received the following from one of the tech people I've been e-mailing back & forth with.
"I'm sorry that you have been unable to submit your podcast. The podcast submission form is currently offline. When trying to submit the podcast you will receive this message "We are Currently Experienced Technical Difficulties". Once the issue has been resolved, I would be glad to inform you.
Apple is currently working toward a resolution for the issue you have reported. You will receive an email after the matter has been investigated and further information is available."
Who knows, maybe the problem isn't with my feed after all.

Hey erinoneill24,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Sounds like you can't update your device. You don't mention an error that it gives you. Take a look at both of these articles to troubleshoot.
iPod displays "Use iTunes to restore" message

If you can't update or restore your iOS device
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808?viewlocale=de_DE_1
If you started your device in recovery mode by mistake, restart it to exit recovery mode. Or you can just wait—after 15 minutes the device will exit recovery mode by itself.
Have a nice day,

Hi,
the settings are gone, i guess. But even worse, I cannot get the iPad2 to play Full HD thru the Apple digital AV adaptor using apps that support (and advertise this), like AVPlayer HD. This definiteley used to work before one of the last iOS upgrades. (I am now at 5.1.1).

Help! my windows PC with Vista will not dowload itunes 10.7. It gives me an error message: Your system has not been modified.I
I have tried unistalling the current version I had which was 10.6.3, defragging and running a security scan. Now, the highest version I can get is 10.4.1. for some reason I cannot dowload itunes 10.5 or higher as it gives me the same message which is what I need to connect and update my iphone. Anyone facing the same issue or can point me in the right direction?

You may get better information on that error message by reposting in the iPhone forums:

It's also possible that newer iPhone updates want an OS higher than Tiger. Post the specs of your computer and we can see if an OS upgrade is possible. There are a large number of G4 variants with different capabilities, so giving us something more than just "G4" will get you help faster.

I've downloaded the newest version of softwear to my iTunes libary (iOS 10.5 i believe) iTunes store now dosn't function right and i'm not able to sync. my iPod 4G with my libary. i've tried to reinstall iTunes, but for no use. help please.

well i have to be honest, but i don't know if it the vista you use has any significance for this. but you can try.
okay follow:
1: click "start" on the status line on the buttom of your screen.
2: then click on "all Programs" and find "Accessories" and find the "command prompt"
3: Right click with your mouse "command prompt" and click on "run as administrator"
(as you has click'd on "run as administrator", "command prompt" should appear.)
4: when it appears you need to type this "netsh windsock reset"
5: wait for your computer to registrer the command you gave it, and restart your computer.
then erverything should be pretty much as good or better then new.
