I have a EOS Rebel XS & a Speedlite 430EXii. The AF Assist Beam only works on full auto.

I thought the AF assist beam would work on all custom modes, I use the TV mode most since I like shutter priority, but it doesn't focus in low light. Can someone help me out? Is it a camera, flash, or setting problem?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It should work fine in Tv mode.  However, it won't work if your autofocus is set to AI Servo.  Check the setting and change it to One Shot.
If that doesn't do it double check the custom functions, but the majority of the time people have trouble with AF assist it's because they're in AI Servo.

  • I have a EOS Rebel 300D and need drivers...

    I have an EOS Rebel 300D and I just re-installed the program on to my laptop because my laptop had a virus and I had to have everything re-installed. However, now I can't seem to find the correct drivers. Does anyone know where I can find them? I have pictures that I've taken on my camera and I need to download them to my computer. My laptop has Windows 7 and plenty of RAM and harddrive space on it. Please help.

    Click on the Canon logo at the top of the page, click on support & drivers,  then click on Consumer home & office & fill in the appropriate boxes, plus once you get there you may need to specify your computer's operating system.

  • Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. Please help!

    Safari and firefox stop working after a few minutes of browsing, regardless of what site I'm on. I have to restart my computer to get internet access again but it only works for a few more minutes, then I have to restart again. I don't get a spinning ball, it just stops working at whatever page it's on. I can close the program just fine but when I re-open it, either safari or firefox, it freezes trying to load the hompage. This started a few days ago after trying to stream a movie on my computer. I'm on a Mac Air OS X Version 10.6.8 and have downloaded all updates. When I go into finder, it says I have over 80 gigs available. Is there some other memory cache that I need to check? Thanks so much for your help.

    It's not a router problem as I explained in my post. If it was a router problem then I wouldn't have the problem everywhere I go. It is an issue with the software.
    Then I guess the millions of people running 10.5.7 with no issues are just hallucinating that their machines are working fine?
    I'm not trying to belittle your issues; you're certainly having them and I know first hand how annoying an intermittent AirPort issue can be. (In fact, mine was due to an AirPort driver bug that no one else seemed to suffer from.)
    The single best diagnostic you could do is take your system running 10.5.7 to an Apple Store, and try using their in-store network.
    If your machine performs flawlessly, it may be a router issue.
    If your machine has connectivity issues there, it may be a hardware problem with your machine.
    There have been numerous people in multiple threads over the years who swore that an update was buggy because things used to work, but returned later to sheepishly admit that they took their machine in, a problem was found and fixed, and now their Mac works flawlessly with the newer software.
    But simply reinstalling 10.5.5 in no way means the explanation of how firmware bugs may be at play here is incorrect.
    In the context of that explanation, all you've done is possibly reinstall software that asks to add "2 + 3."

  • I am wondering about transferring my pc date to my new iMac.  I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc.  Will the migration assistant be able to handle this?

    I know there is a migration assistant, but I have multiple drives in my pc.  Will the migration assistant be able to handle this?  I'm going to be trying to move the date to a new imac 27' with fusion drive.

    the following set of instructions is a little longer, so you might want to print it out and have it handy
    Step 1 - PC
    If your PC already is connected to the Internet, hold down the Windows button on
    your keyboard and simultanously press R. Into the opening window enter "cmd" (without
    the quotation marks). A command line will open, enter "ipconfig" (again without the
    quotation marks) at the prompt. Now find the section labelled "Ethernet-Adaptor" and
    note the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway on a sheet of paper
    If your PC is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP address.
    open Network and Sharing Center
    do a right click on Ethernet and select Properties
    in middle of the screen there is a box labelled "This connection uses the following items"
    out of this box select "Internet Protocol Version 4 (TCP/IPv4)"
    click on the Properties button in the right corner
    Into the window "Use the following IP address" enter the following values
    IP-Address: 192.168.0.1
    Subnet-Mask: 255.255.255.0
    Default-Gateway is the IP-Address of your Router. This value is needed for internet connection, for the file sharing setup only this value can be left empty.
    Step 2 - Mac
    If your Mac already is connected to the internet, it is likely that it has automatically receive the necessary parameters from your router and therefore should be in the same network as your PC. To be on the safe side, you can check this by
    open System Preferences
    select Network
    choose Ethernet from the panel on the left side of the window
    click on Advanced
    click on TCP/IP
    compare the values for IP-Address, Subnet-Mask and Default-Gateway with those you wrote down earlier.
    If both PC and Mac have identical numbers in the first three parts of the IP-Address, you are set.
    If your Mac is not already connected to the internet, you need to manually configure its IP-Address as well.
    In the TCP/IP window you have just opened select "Manually" from the drop down menu "Configure IPv4:"
    Enter the following values
    IP-Address: 192.168.0.2
    Subnet-Mask: same as with PC
    Default-Gateway: same as with PC
    Step 3 - Activate File Sharing on PC
    open Control Panel
    select Network and Internet
    select Network and Sharing Center
    on the left panel select change advanced sharing settings
    in the middle of the new page enable turn on file and printer sharing
    Step 4 - Activate File Sharing on Mac
    open System Preferences
    select Sharing
    set check mark next to File Sharing (green circle appears on the right side next to File Sharing:)
    click on Options:
    set check mark next to Share files and folders using SMB
    in the listbox under the text Windows File Sharing make sure there is a check mark next to your account name
    Step 5 - Create a share on your PC
    In Explorer select the folder you wish to share
    do a right click on that folder and select "Share with"
    choose "Specific people"
    a new window opens. there select your Windows username (usually the first in the list)
    if you plan to copy from Windows to Mac only, it would be sufficient to grant Read permission only, but, since most likely you are the only person to access that share and certainly do not plan to sabotage yourself, Read & Write permission is ok too.
    finally click on "Share"
    Step 6 - Create a share on your Mac
    Once the check mark next to your account name is set (see above) your home directory is automatically set as a share.
    Step 7 - Connect your PC to your Mac-Share
    do a right click on the network icon which resides on your desktop or in the left
    panel of every Explorer window
    Select Connect Share
    in the text box next to Folder: enter \\<ip-address-of-your-mac>\<your-osx-username>
    if you are using the same username and password on both Windows and OSX click on "Finish",
    if not set the check mark next to "Connect using different credentials" afterwards click on "Finish" A new window will open where you enter username and password that you are using with OSX
    Step 8 - Connect your Mac to your PC-Share
    hold down the command key and press K simultanously or in Finder click on Go in the menu at the top of your screen and select "Connect to Server"
    in the Window that opens enter smb://<your-windows-username>:<your-windows-password>@<ip-address-of-your-PC/<y our-windows-username>
    or
    smb://<ip-adress-of-your-PC/<your-windows-username> you will be asked to enter your Windows username and password in popup window
    Now you have both computers connected to each other. Each will provide you access to your home directory of the other computer. Open a second Explorer or Finder window with your local home directory and start copying

  • I have a EOS Rebel Ti film camera which I used for business years ago, 3 lenses, wide angle to

    telephoto.  Is there a market for these and do the lenses work on current digital Canon cameras?

    Hi jonesy!
    Thanks for the post.
    All EOS cameras, both 35mm and film, have the Canon EF lens mount.  Any of our EOS Digital SLR cameras will work with the same lenses you were using with your EOS Rebel Ti.
    The reference to "all EOS cameras, both 35mm and film" is sure to confuse some people, especially if this is the first time they've heard of a full-frame Rebel. And as most owners of digital Rebels are aware, not all EOS cameras have the EF lens mount, which does not accept EF-S lenses.
    So I'd put it this way:
    "All EOS film cameras have the Canon EF lens mount. Since all of our EOS digital cameras can accept lenses disigned for the EF mount, the lenses you were using on your EOS Rebel Ti will work on any EOS digital camera."

  • I have a G5 Power Mac with dual 1.8 processors. I recently upgraded the software fro 10.4.11 to 10.5.8 in order to get an iPad 2. Now my Adobe Photoshop 7 won't work any longer. All the newer Phtoshop versions only work with Intell processors. Does anyone

    ..know of an older Photoshop version that will work with my processors and system 10.5.8?
    Thanks,

    I believe I had this issue with PS7 when I first upgraded from OS 9 to OS X 10.2 Jaguar.
    Couldn't get PS 7 to launch at all.
    I ended up having to update all of my Adobe apps to the CS edition to be sure every Adobe app functioned without a hitch.
    I am not sure where you'll find older versions of Adobe software, though.
    You could try and contact Adobe direct to see if they have any older versions on disc left in stock or not.
    Short or that I  really do not know.
    PS CS 4 was the last universal version that works with PPC Macs.
    Pixelmator used to be available for 10.5 Leopard, but it's no longer available for PPC Macs, either.
    http://www.pixelmator.com/
    Could contact them to see if they have the older version still available on disc or as a download.
    This is a pay app, also.
    Another pay app that may work for you is Graphic Converter.
    http://www.lemkesoft.com/
    The other options are the ones already mentioned in the previous reply.
    Other than Pixelmator, the other offerings are quite limited compared to PS.
    Here's the link to Seashore.

    A free open source Unix replacement for PS is The Gimp

    You need to install X11 in order to use this app.
    If you installed 10.5, you'll need to check your Applications folder to see if X11 was installed by default.
    If not you'll need to go back to your OS X 10.5 install discs and do a custom install and just install X11 from disc.
    This will just add the additional program and extensions and will not erase your installation of OS X 10.5.

  • I have an I phone 4s, have had it little over a month and the charger is no longer working. Now I have to return it at my inconvenience and wait for a replacement. I am very disappointed considering it is Apple. Has anybody else had this problem?

    I have an i phone 4s, I have had it just over a month. The charger is not working and it has to be returned. Very disappointed considering it is Apple I expected  better and have never had this problem with any other phone. Now I have the inconvenience of having to return it and waiting for a replacement and in the meantime I'm without a phone. Has this happened to anyone else?

    Wow, life is certainly tough for you.

  • I have copied Iphoto library from other MAC using the migration assistant, when starting Iphoto the rebuild however stops half way (no progress after 24 hours)

    Using the migration assistant I copied my users from an old MAC (2007) to a brand new on. After a few attempts and software updates this worked. For Itunes and mail for example all data was available. On starting my Iphoto however there was a problem. When starting there is the message that the library, to be able to work with the new Iphoto Version, needs to be updated. In the process of doing this the programm seems to get stuck after 40 % of progress and even after 24 hours does not continue. I have tried to use the I-Photo First aid, but before starting any of the steps it wants to re-allign the old library to the new Iphoto version ans subsequently get's stuck on the same spot again !! Is there any advice you could give ?
    Thanks,
    John 

    I have tha same problem.
    iPhoto asks for updating, then it shows a bar about the conversion in progress, then it shows that it is working on faces library and then the circle spot stop to turn on faces library and starts in the middles of iPhoto window.
    After three days nothing changed!
    Any help?

  • HT1212 i have forgot my passcode and tried to erase the device but its not working

    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen                         
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.                        
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings        
    For how to restore:
    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.

  • Why doesn't firefox have a "print" button in the tool bar and why can't I add attachments to my emails MOST of the time. It only works rarely?? Frustrating!

    I cannot find an add on as a print button for the firefox toolbar. Almost every time I want to print, I have to copy and then open a document and paste it there to be able to print it.
    Also, each time I want to add an attachment to an email, it rarely lets me. I have to open internet explorer and go through my email that way to be able to add attachments.

    1. File > Print <br />
    2. There is a '''Print''' button in the Customize palette for the Toolbars. <br />
    https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
    Considering that Firefox doesn't do email, that problem is probably caused by your webmail portal software not being totally compatible with Firefox. If you tell which webmail service you use maybe another user who is familiar with that service can help you.

  • My page size defaults to approx 20% larger than normal so that I always have a horiz scroll bar at the bottom of the page. where is the option to permanently return this to normal size. the view-- zoom-- reset only works for the current session. thanks

    Not much more to add other than the info I've already given.

    Not sure if this is related, but I noticed in your system details that you have malware (the startpage of lf.startnow.com is how I spotted this).
    See e.g. http://community.norton.com/t5/Norton-Internet-Security-Norton/Startnow-com-virus/td-p/482820 for an example of how this affects other browsers too.
    Do you have an antivirus/anti-spyware solution? If so, please check your computer for infections. If not, follow the above link -- it looks like it had a few more suggestions.

  • HT1386 No help what so ever when you've just been told to update to itunes 11 this does not have anything to do with itunes 11, its the previous 10 versions only!

    I just want to know how to sync with the new itunes11! Why is this dated stuff still here when I have just downloaded? You update me but refuse to add the instructions on use? What on EARTH?!

    As to actually doing the sync, you have two choices:
    1) You can click the button for your device in the top bar and you'll get the normal sync page as described in the documentation;
    2) You can select to show the sidebar under the View menu in iTunes, after which the directions will work exactly as before.

  • I have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. The email app is not working. The screen shows empty email box, then closes on its own. I have tried closing the app, turning ipad on and off and reset to no avail. Any other ideas? Thanks.

    I Have an iPad 2 running iOS 8. When I open email, the email isn't there. I have tried closing the app, turning off the ipad and resetting the iPad. None of that helps. Any ideas? Thanks.

    So the app is opening to a white screen then closing on its own?  If you have deleted your email accounts & the app is still crashing then I would try resetting all settings (without deleting data).
    Did you reboot the iPad after removing the email accounts?  If not, try that first holding the home & sleep/wake buttons simultaneously until the apple logo appears, then release & once booted back up, try opening the mail app again. 
    The problem may have started because one of your email messages might have been corrupt or had a corrupt attachment.  If you can access it from a computer, sign into your email & see if there are any that can't be opened or produce errors opening.  If so, delete the offending emails then try adding the account back to the iPad.

  • I have XP on one machine and 7 on the other. Firefox 8 works perfectly on XP but my other machine is a disaster. I can not access the add ons at all and everything is gone: too many tabs-roboform whatever?????????????????

    It seems that the upgrade has destroyed the entire firefox experience. What is also strange is that the desktop image is coming through the top of the Firefox page.

    Jon already touched on this, but to use your "new" network, without NAT, the subnet needs to be "known".
    With NAT, you can place multiple hosts behind one (or several) IPs on your existing subnet.  I.e. you new subnet doesn't need to be known.  (In fact, you could use any subnet you want.)
    The reason the Linksys worked well yet the 2600 did not, "Enterprise" class routers generally don't handle PAT as well many consumer class routers.  (NB: True NAT would probably work just fine, but what you need is to overload an IP, i.e. PAT).  So, many applications won't work.  (NB: I believe newer IOS versions do better, though.)
    Many small Cisco Enterprise class routers, especially those from two generatations ago, were designed for "slow" WAN links, like single T1s or partial T1s, or perhaps for a few Mbps DSL.  If your link has more bandwidth the router may not have the performance to support it effectively.

    If you don't know the sender, then it is most likely a scam or spam email. I get them every day - I just delete them. I also get daily notices from Facebook or someone called Adriana at Facebook even though i do not have an account there. Can't do anything about it - just delete it.
