I take a lot of people shots and have way too many out of focus pics.

I have way too many out of focus shots.  I usually use tv mode with the shutter set at least 250 with the anti shake on.  I know there is a balance of aperature, iso and they seem to be close enough for lighting but the out of focus drives me nuts. This is the most important aspect of a pic in my opinion. I have sent my T2i in for focus issues two times and cannot tell a difference.  Any suggestions????

We'd probably have to see your shots with EXIF data to provide a specific response.
Canon did a 3-part video on how the AF system works with B&H Photo.  You can find the videos on YouTube... here's the link to part I:  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iAx86nblZ2g
I seem to recall each part is about 30 minutes, but well worth the time in what you'll learn about the focus system that you might not have known.
A LOT of factors can result in out of focus images.  Camera movement (slow shutter speed during a hand-held shot) is just one of many possibilities.

  • I updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. the fox is gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

    Last week i downloaded Filezilla to edit my web page. When i did so, the firefox page looked weird -- there was no fox. The page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. So i updated to mozilla firefox 18.0.2. The fox is still gone, but there are lots of pop-ups and no way to disable them. i want to TALK to someone, please

    Sorry this is really your only support option. The live chat support option was closed down last year.
    Maybe attaching some screen shots will help us understand your problem. I am not sure I understand about ''the fox is gone'' & ''he page has a WhiteSmoke icon instead. ''

  • How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group

    How can I set up an SMS group so that all group members can dial a group number and have a text sent out to all members of the group
    This would be an SMS group similar to an email listserv but running on the SMS network
    I have seen private individuals offering this service
    It seems strange to me that no internet site like Apple, Yahoo or Google offers this as a free service much as the email group services are free services.

    I think the app GroupMe might do what you want. You might also try contacting your carrier. My carrier offered some fancy group texting service for a while but they never really advertised it so, unless you asked, you never would have known. But, GroupMe is available in the app store. There are lots of other apps that also do group texting but it seems to be the one that gets recommended the most.

  • I have a 4 yr. old iMac. I recently got a trojan on it that sent out emails to my address book. I got Norton Internet Security for Mac, and now my Mac is running slow, with way too many spinning beach balls of death. Was it a mistake to install Norton?

    There is no such Trojan or other malware known today that will do that using OS X nor has there ever been one. The most probable explanation is that somebody hacked into your e-mail account on the server, so you should change that password to something stronger right away. If it had come from your Mac then there would almost certainly be copies of those messages in your Sent Mail mailbox.

  • I have stopped too many scripts in Firefox and I can't open any websites in Firefox anymore. I just get blank pages. What do I do now?

    3 websites gave me this message:- "A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete." I chose to stop the script each time. However I have stopped too many scripts in Firefox and I can't open any website in Firefox anymore. I just get blank pages. What do I do now?

    Certain Firefox problems can be solved by performing a ''Clean reinstall''. This means you remove Firefox and any leftover program files and then reinstall Firefox. Please follow these steps one by one:
    #Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
    #After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu) and confirm all upcoming messages.
    #Now, uninstall Firefox by following the steps mentioned in the [[Uninstall Firefox from your computer#w_uninstall-firefox|Uninstall Firefox]] article.
    '''IMPORTANT:''' On Windows, the uninstaller has the option to remove your personal data and settings. Make sure that you do '''not''' check this option; otherwise all of your bookmarks, passwords, extensions, user customizations and other Firefox [[Profiles|user profile data]] will be removed from your computer.
    After uninstalling Firefox on Windows, delete the "Mozilla Firefox" program folder, located by default in one of these locations:
    * '''(On 32-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox''
    * '''(On 64-bit Windows)''' ''C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox''
    #Go to the Windows Start menu and click on "Computer".
    #In the Explorer window that opens, double click Local Disk (C:) to open the C:\ drive.
    #Find the "Program Files (x86)" folder or "Program Files" folder.
    #* On 32-bit Windows, double-click the '''Program Files''' folder to open it.
    #* On 64-bit Windows, you will see a "Program Files (x86)" folder AND a "Program Files" folder. Open the '''Program Files (x86)''' folder.
    #Look for a '''Mozilla Firefox''' folder. If you find one, right-click it and select ''Delete'' and confirm that you want to move the folder to the Recycle Bin.
    Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
    #Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
    #Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
    Please report back to see if this helped you!

  • I want ro remove all of the default Firefox bookmarks. There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me. I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?

    I need to remove the default Firefox bookmarks.
    There are way too many and none of which are usefull to me.
    Also, I am vision impaired and reading through such a long list is very eye-fatigueing to me.
    I would like to make my old IE Favorites folder the default. How can I do this?

    Did you import an iPhoto Library from the old Hard Drive? Do you still have that old Library?
    The way to clear out a Library is to Export the photos - Apps like iPhoto2Disk or PhotoShare will help you export to a Folder tree matching your Events.
    For the annoying start-up message:
    Go to your Pictures Folder and find the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.
    Look there for a Folder called 'Import' or 'Importing'.
    Drag it to the Desktop. *Make no other changes*.
    Start iPhoto. Does that help?
    If it does then look inside that folder on your desktop. Does it contain anything you want? If not you can trash the folder.

  • There are way too many photos on my internal hard drive. I have older libraries, and newer libraires in iPhoto and Aperture 2.  What is the best way to find and reduce the number of duplicate photos/libraries  before upgrading to Aperture 3?

    Good idea.
    Back up first.
    I would probably wait for the merge function of the latest version before merging. Be sure to verify every merge.
    Merge Libraries, then from within Aperture move images to referenced on external hard drives.

  • I would like to know, does Apple Product Giveaways have a page for competitions on Facebook? A lot of People including myself have entered in these competitions and have won and iPhone and many other items. I am one of those people who won, it is true.

    Hi, My name is Sue Keeffe Ayton, I just want to know, does Apple Product Giveaways have a page on Facebook? They are running competition to win Apple Products. A lot of people seem to be winning Apple Products including myself. I saw that I have won a White Iphone 5s 32 GB, I would like to know if this is a scam. If someone goes on the facebook website and type in Apple Product Giveaways you will find this competition page. Please tell me if this page is for real.
    Please I need to know if this is for real.
    A lot of poeple including myself have entered these competitions and have won. I have tried to contact this page admin, but was unable to. I have even tried to contact Facebook team to find out, but was unsuccessful at this point in time.
    I am not sure if these people who are running these competitions are going to send these items out to the winners. I hope they do. If you enter a competition/s and you win, you would expect to receive your winning item/s.
    I never thought it was possible to win something on Facebook. When I saw my name pop up on the winners list in Apple Product Giveaways for March 2 2014 I was excited. I am one of 5 people who won an Apple product.
    Below you will see Apple Product Giveaway page on Facebook. On the right you will see the competition winners. I hope someone can help me find out the truth and if its fake, I will report this to Facebook to have this page shut down. A lot of people will be hurt, disappointed and very angry this has happened
    I hope you will show your support and help me solve this.
    If this is not the right site to report this or find out if this is a scam, please guide me to the correct area.
    Thank you for your attention.

    Apple does not give away its products.
    Unless you are the 1,000th person to show up at a new Store and Tim Cook is there and his assistant is filming you to be posted on their Home Page.
    That is yet another FaceBook SCAM.

  • Can I take an image created in Illustrator and have it be on the Character Map? I need to use it as

    I have an image that I need to use as a bullet many times for a specific client. Is there a way to take that image from Illustrator and convert it to something on the Character Map?

    If by Character Map, you mean the Windows Character Map application, which lets you view the glyphs in a given font, then no, you can't do that with Illustrator.
    In order for your bullet (a new glyph) to appear in the Windows Character Map application, it would have to be a glyph inside a font.
    Illustrator does not provide the capability of directly editing font files. (Corel Draw does.)
    So if you want to edit an existing font, or create a new font, you need a program that can edit and/or modify fonts.
    In modifying fonts, you would be restricted by the limitations inherent in fonts: your custom bullet or dingbat would need to consist of a single simple or compound path, and could only receive one color, as any other text object.
    The far more common approach to this problem is to use inline graphics. All of Illustrator's mainstrream competitors (and even InDesign) allow you to paste a graphic into a textframe, inline with the text, and have it behave as if it were a character in the text. Illustrator has never provided that commonplace feature.
    If you use InDesign you can, as a ridiculously cumbersome workaround, create your text object in InDesign, paste the artwork element(s) inline. When done, copy the whole text object and paste into Illustrator. It will be pasted into AI as PDF content, meaning a Clipping Mask containing a bunch of individual pointType objects and the bullets as separate objects.

  • My iPod has two small dots on it. The first one is red and the other is white. The red one came first and a few weeks later the white one showed up. Can I take it to the Apple store and have it exchanged?

    I've had it for less than a year and noticed a few weeks ago that it had a red dot on the center of the screen. About a week ago I noticed another dot, a white one, right next to it. I've never dropped it and even went out of my way to buy a decent case to keep it safe. I spent over 200$ on my 4Gen iPod Touch it and I'm very concerned that these dots will spread across my screen. Can I send it to the Apple store by me and have it replaced?

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out. If defective, within warranty and not abused Apple may exchange it at no cost.
