My G7X keeps turning off while shooting video..any tips?

I am new to Canon...coming from the Nikon world..and having a problem trying to shoot video with my new G7X.
The camera turns off after a few minutes...any tips?

A very nice choice of camera's that G7X is !!
A speed class of 6 or higher is reccommened to achievve the highest recording lenght in time and GB's.
Just how long before it shuts off ?
Have you formatted it properly in the camera ? Tried a different card ?
This is from your manual and Ive looked at many Powershot manuals...it is the same or very similar for all.

Keyboard backlight does not turn off while watching video

I just discovered this issue on my new macbook air (haswell). I also found a thread on it here from back in 2009, apparently it's been an issue for 4 years!!!???
In that thread people noted that if the backlight is set to anyhing more than 5 seconds, the backlight won't turn off while watching a video, but at 5 seconds, turns off fine as it should.
Anyone have any ideas? Just seems like it needs to be taken seriously by Apple and fixed in a future OSX update.

Try resetting your SMC:

Macbook Air Screen keeps turning off while in use

Hi all,
I've had my Macbook Air for about 10 days now - it was working fine for the first 5 days, then I went away for a long weekend break, came home, switched it on and now it is all messed up.
Randomly and frequently while the computer IS IN USE the display will turn off for a seemingly random amount of time then come back on with no input from me. So just to be clear, this is not the power profile, or the energy saving setting... what happens is that while I am mid-typing or in the middle of a mouse movement (it has happend a couple of times during me typing this first paragraph already) the display on the Macbook will go completely black, as in the blacklight goes off and nothing can be seen on the screen - then, no matter if I carry on typing or if I just take my hand off the keys and give it no input what-so-ever, after some time (as short as 5 seconds or as long as 30 seconds) the screen will pop back on as if nothing had happened.
Some other things to note:
If I carry on typing when the screen goes dark the chracters i've typed are there when the screen comes back on - so it seems to be only affecting the display.
Whether I wiggle the mouse, bash keys or just sit back in frustration has no bearing on how long it takes for the screen to come back on.
It appears to occour more often when the macbook is on a solid surface like my desk as opposed to on my lap - though it has occured in both locations.
I have power cycled, restarted, rebooted etc a million times.
It happens in both OSX and Windows boots
It is truly random, I can go as long an hour without it happening, then it will happen 20 times in 5 minutes.
The keyboard backlight stays on throughout (if it is on already)
If this was a 5 year old laptop I'd be straight away assuming this was a display cable, inverter cable or lid-close switch problem, but it's only 10 days old! I'll be very annoyed if this is a hardware issue this soon. What should be my next course of action?? Phone Apple? Or take it straight to an Apple store?
My only worry is that its impossible to recreate the fault on demand, its very random - however I did record a video on my iPhone of it doing it constantly for a 3 minute period while I was using the computer (complete with my sighs of frustration as a soundtrack!!). Will that be enough to convince them if I'm unlucky (or lucky depending on which way you look at it!) and it doesn't display the fault when they inspect it??
I tried to embed the video but the video button above is greyed out, whats up with that?!
Thanks,
Seb

Step 1
Select "System Preferences" from the Apple drop-down menu at the top left corner of the desktop. Alternatively, you can open the System Preferences window by clicking the “System Preferences” icon in the dock.
Step 2
Click the "Energy Saver" icon in the Hardware section. The Energy Saver window opens.
Step 3
Click the "Settings For" drop-down box and select "Power Adapter" from the drop-down list. Click the "Optimization" drop-down box and select "Custom" from the list.
Step 4
Click the "Computer Sleep" slider and drag it all the way to the right. The slider will stop at "Never." Click the "Display Sleep" slider and drag it to "Never" as well.
Step 5
Click the "Settings For" drop-down box again and select "Battery" from the list. Select "Custom" from the Optimization drop-down box. Move both sliders to "Never."

Why my iphone 5 turns off while recording videos ???

please help !!!!! i m extreamly disappointed in apple ;[

Hello Dhananjay,
I recommend steps 1, 3 and 5 of the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/.
If you get to step 3, then I suggest closing all the apps. Here is step one to get you started
Restart iPhone
To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
All the very best,
Sterling

DVR 620 keeps turning off while recording

I've been recording dvd's a lot in the last few months, but this just started today. I can't find anything in the manual about this. Does the dvr part need to be cleaned from time to time?

Describe in more detail what is happening. Are you trying to dub from VHS to DVD? If so, can you play back the VHS tape without a problem? Which kind of DVD is it? DVD-R, DVD-RW, DVD+R, DVD+RW? And is there sufficient space? What setting is your record speed? Not dubbing, just recording a tv show onto a Memorex DVD+R (16X 4.7GB 120min) disc. It was a new disc, recording speed SP, which is good for 2 hours, and it was only 30 minutes into the recording. Not only did it stop recording, the player/recorder turned off. It wasn't programmed, and I was in the room, so I grabbed the remote and turned the player/recorder back on and hit record again and it recorded to the end of the show. It did that 3 times yesterday but not once today. I've only recorded one show today though.

PS Now keeps turning off while I'm playing.

I bought a game on PS Now and I'm in the middle of playing it when it gives me 20 seconds before it turns off. My speed test at home says I'm clocking in at a pretty good rate. I don't care if it goes to 240p, I just want to play the game I payed for. Are you going to reimburse me?

My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off.

My ipod 6th generation keeps turning off while listening to a song. I was happier with the older version which they claimed had a battery problem and replaced it with the newer version. The batterrry on the 6th gen is fully charged.

You aren't pushing hard enough on the headphone jack and plugging it all the way in. The headphone jack is very tight when new, make sure the white plastic on the headphone jack is flush with the Nano.

My iPhone 5 keeps turning off and on while charging

I am trying to restore my iPhone 5, but it keeps turning off and on. It also turns off and on while charging. Is there anyway I can fix this? I did update it to the newest iOS.

Hi terikins!
Here is an article that can help you troubleshoot this issue:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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 30 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.

Airport Time Capsule keeps turning off light

I connect my airport time capsule to my macbook pro 15inch retina display using the thunderbolt. I'm using osX maverick 10.9.1

What should I do? Please help!
FYI - I always check my airport utility and there is no updates pending or error warning sign.

The TC is faulty.. return ASAP for replacement.

S890 screen turns off while playing games

I bought this phone a week ago.Everything about this phone is awesom except one thing. The screen turns off while playing games automatically,which is really annoying. Is there any fix for this??

Graphics card springs to mind;
also, in your game settings, in either options or video settings (or similar). Are the settings correct for your card. I know on a low end PC, "full hardware acceleration" can cause crashing.
I'd still think, it's more a graphics related problem. If you have a big flat screen mintor (e.g 24,27 or even 30") then that, in it's own right needs a good card. Add the game to it and you may have problems. I do take it you have compared the specs with what's required on the box (of the game) and "about this mac/"more info"). All the best.

least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

My ipad 2 keeps turning off and on

So my little brother is playing with my ipad 2 and he keeps playing until the battery is drain to 5%, when I try to charge it, it turns off(or shut down), normally I think it is common 'cause of the drained battery, but when I charge it, the big battery logo with red lines(indicating that there's only few battery power left) showed up( I think it's charging) and without turning it back on, the apple logo showed up, and I think it turn on automatically, but when the moment it turn on, it keeps turning off again...This problem keeps repeating from the big battery logo and turning off again.
I dont know how this is happening, This is the first time this happened.
The only reason I'm thinking is, "does my ipad battery or my charger is slow in charging and when it charged a few percent of battery and turn on again it drains the charged battery again?" Any help is appreciated, And sorry for my bad english( english is not my mother language). Thanks in advance..

Hi GreeD28,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
You explained the situation very well, and it sounds like you are seeing this image flash on the screen when charging your iPad:
If so, you may just need to let your iPad charge for longer before using it, as explained in this article:
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1476
This image means that your device is charging.
It's important to note that if the battery is extremely low on power, your device may display a black screen for up to two minutes before one of these images appears. Continue charging for at least 30 minutes, or until your device is fully charged.
If you have charged your iPad and it still shows the screen above or turns off after the Apple logo appears, try these troubleshooting steps next:
If your battery doesn't charge, or if your device shows a low-battery image, black screen, or "accessory not supported" alert, follow these steps.
Inspect the connector at the bottom of the phone:
Make sure that there are no bent pins in the connector.
Make sure that the connector is free from debris.
If there are bent pins or debris, please contact Apple Support.
Otherwise, continue troubleshooting.
Make sure that the outlet you're using works.
Make sure that the Apple USB cable and Apple USB power adapter work.
Plug the device in to power and let it charge for up to 30 minutes. If you don't have an Apple USB power adapter, try connecting to a computer's high-power USB 2.0 port (not a keyboard). The computer must be on.
If the device still exhibits an issue, try turning your device off and then on again while connected to power.
If the issue is persists, please contact Apple Support.
Best Regards,
Jeremy

Since updating to ios6 my 4s keeps turning off.

Since updating to ios6 my 4s keeps turning off, has 5% last time had 18% battery and says connect to power, comes straight on with 18% still!

Look at iOS Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398
iPad: Issues connecting to Wi-Fi networks http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3304
iOS: Recommended settings for Wi-Fi routers and access points http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4199
Additional things to try.
Try this first. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
Another thing to try - Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
