PowerShot S50 lens cover not operating OK .. lens not extending. Not supported. Repair suggestions?

Hi I have a PowerShot S50 (10 yrs old and still great). The lens door is not sliding back easily - make take a lot of juggling - and therefore the lens does not extend for picture taking.  When I get the door open/lens extended, the camera is operational. It is difficult to close the lens door again to protect lens.
I see the PowerShot S50 is no longer officially supported by Canon for repairs.  Any suggestions where I can send this for servicing.  The camera has served me well until now.  I'd hate to have to get another camera for what appears to be a small mechanical problem.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Ah well... Froze again today after seeming ok for a week. Have ordered a new SIM card in case thats linked. The only thing that had changed when I rmeoved and re-inserted the battery (to turn on phone) was that the general profile had been reset, i.e. standard keypad tones on and Nokia tune instead of my own mp3. everything else still intact. at least I didn't lose all my messages and bookmarks like the old days.
I really cannot wait for the next phone to come out so I can just buy a new one and be done with it. 
N82 has been the best nokia I have ever owned despite all the hassle.
@ Kavi6233 - Have tried the restore factory settings etc MANY times... It makes no difference. This has been happening 6 months on and off and I have tried EVERYTHING possible. different battery, no applicaitons installed, no mem card inserted, factory retart, latest firmware etc etc still happens randomly. Also had it repaired in nokia care centre.they said it was repaired and tested fine. and it was, for a week

  • IMEI number is greyed out and unable to activate phone.Apple India is not supporting any suggestions?

    I bought iPhone 5 in Singapore in May '13 and then moved to India . The phone worked well in India till end Sep'13. But in Oct '13, while auto installing 7.0.3, the phone started hanging and the  signal went for "search " forever. I tried to reset the phone to factory settings and everything went blank. It is stated that the IMEI number has been greyed out in the phone and only Apple Singapore can fix it.
    Apple India refused to touch the phone as it was bought in Singapore. Tried with online support without any success till now. I am unable to send the phone to Singapore for repair - as it cannot be send by courier by individuals and Apple Singapore service does not accept over courier.
    Tried online support and but it did not work
    Please suggest option to repair and make the phone usable in India.
    Regret for having bought iPhone at Singapore.

    Thank you for the quick response. I understand warranty coverage is only for Singapore ( place of purchase).
    Help required: Can the online support from Apple really help in restoring the phone?
    1.What is the purpose of iPhone Restore option in iCloud / iTune ? if it user cannot do in such instances
    2.Why should the IMEI number get "greyed" after a use of 6 months?
    3.Why should a Apple working product fail when updating a new version of the software?
    Surely points 1 to3  above are shortcomings of Apple software and its product. Such  HIGH priced premium product needs much more reliability. Apple should consider global warranty specifically for people who travel -else the problem will erode its market share. Apple competition too have the same issue.
    Having stated the above, I sincerely regret going in for a Apple product  and that too buying in Singapore. I have learnth a hard and  extremely costly lesson

  • Iv'e upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8 and now microsoft office 2004 and my canon powershot camera software will not work. any suggestions?

    I just upgraded my iMac to 10.6.8. Now my Microsoft office applications,(word, excel, ppt) and my camera software to transfer picts from my camera will not launch. (Separate apps but all stopped working as soon as I upgraded from 10.5.8). The software for the Canon Powershot is Ver.37.2. Image browser 6.2 EOS utility 1.1.  Any help would be appreciated.
    Also if you could tell me what happens to the individual jpegs that get imported through iPhoto, I would go back to using that instead of the Canon software. I want to be able to go into a folder and see all the jpegs and not have to rely on iPhoto's one enormous file. What happens if that iPhoto file gets corrupt? Thanks, Leesha

    Actually, Microsoft Office 2004 works fine with Snow Lepoard OS 10.6.x. However, it does require Rosetta, Apple's app for Classic apps. In your upgrade from Lepoard 10.5.8, Rosetta may not have installed but you can manually install it with the instructions here.
    On another note, when upgrading the OS, some anomalies get resolved by repairing disk permissions with Disk Utility in the Utilities folder.
    One more note, there was an issue with Rosetta crashing with OS 10.6.8 in February 2012. Apple released a security update that fixed it. You can see if Software Update (launch from the Apple menu) shows it or manually download Security Update 2012-001 v1.1 and install it. Software Update will also show other applicable apps available for updating for your upgraded system.
    Rosetta is no longer available with OS 10.7 Lion and beyond. Then you will need to upgrade MS Office 2011 for Mac.

  • MAC OS 10.5.8 - hp software not supported

    my mac os is 10.5.8 - I  need to install hp officejet pro 8610 printer software but my os is not supported? suggestions?

    Hi @pres10 
    I understand you have 10.5 and are trying to use the Officejet 8610 . The only suggestion I can make will not likely be ideal, but you could email anything you want to print from the computer to the printer.
    Each HP ePrint-enabled printer, such as the 8610, has its own unique email address. After you enable HP ePrint on your HP ePrint-enabled printer, you can print from your mobile or network-connected device by sending an email to your HP printer's email address. With HP ePrint, you can print from anywhere, at any time. If you can send an email, you can use HP ePrint.
    This blurb, and more information, can be found in the following HP Document, ePrint Product Specifications.
    As mentioned. This is likely not ideal, it really depends on how much printing you plan to do. If this is practical for you as a work around then mission accomplished, we found a solution, if not....  The only other options would be to consider taking the printer back and getting a different model that is compatible with 10.5, or upgrading the OS if that Mac can allow for an upgrade to 10.6.
    I know you'd rather not upgrade, but you might consider treating yourself, there are some nice new shiny Macs available. 
    What ever you decide, if you would like additional assistance, feel free to post back as I am happy to help.
    I hope my recommendations resolve your inquiry.

  • NEC burners: not supported?

    "No supported Disk burners found"
    Toast can recognize new external dvd-cd-rw but iTunes refuses to do so!
    anything new on the subject?
    this is very frustrating: easy "plug & play" situation.. not any more?
    In the system profiler (iMac DV, G3, Graphite) it recognizes the writer but says:
    Model:     _NEC DVD_RW ND-3520A
    Drive Type:     CD-RW/DVD-RW
    Disc Burning:     Not Supported
    Any suggestions anyone?

    Hello Christina,
    Have you tried using PatchBurn: http://www.patchburn.de/download.html
    Perhaps that'll fix the burning problem in iTunes.

  • Hi, I have Lightroom 4, but it does not support the new 10-30 pd lens for my Nikon 1. It is supported in LR5. Can I download this lens profile and install in LR4?

    Hi, I have Lightroom 4, but it does not support the new 10-30 pd lens for my Nikon 1. It is supported in LR5. Can I download this lens profile and install in LR4?

    Do you have the latest camera raw installed for Photoshop? If so, you can find the profiles in /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/CameraRaw/LensProfiles/1.0/Nikon/ . Lightroom should recognize them if you move them into your home directory's Library folder in the exact same folder structure (but in the Library folder in your home directory). This is assuming you are using Mac OS X. No clue where these files would be on Windows. If you don't have Photoshop, you can install Camera Raw using the combined installer with DNG converter which is a free download from Adobe. This should (I think) give you the profiles in that exact location without owning Photoshop.

  • Can't import RAW files from Canon Powershot S50.

    iPhoto6 will not import RAW files from my Canon Powershot S50. It says the files are "unreadable". Image capture will import to the desktop, but neither iPhoto nor Photoshop Elements can open the file. I checked and the S50 is supposed to be compatible with OSX and RAW files.

    I agree but I was responding to someone with an S50. That's hardly an "advanced amateur" camera. iPhoto has some rather neat catalog features but the editing is purely for the snapshooter. Heck, I suspect that redeye removal is the most popular feature and, as far as I'm concerned, if you have redeye to begin with, you're a snapshooter.
    I'm an extremely advanced amateur with my film setup but, because of cost, I'm still a snapshooter with my digital camera. My film setup is two Nikon N80s with a top-of-the-line Nikon flash head that I use only with a Stroboframe bracket. The bracket and the necessary extension cord cost me nearly $200! My lenses are pure Nikon, including a single focal length f/1.8, 85 mm. portrait lens.
    I consider 10 MP to be the bare minimum for "advanced amateur" shooting and both Canon and Nikon have recently introduced 10MP SLRs in the $1000 range. However, I'm waiting for the next advance - an SLR without the reflex mechanism - interchangeable lenses and an FP shutter but no mirror! Let's face it, the reflex mechanism adds cost but a digital screen gives the same view and even better (you can see the color balance) and screens are now available that can be viewed in bright sunlight.
    I'm also hoping for one thing that will probably never happen - physically larger CCDs so that I can get the same focus control (small depth of field) that I can get with my film camera.

  • Adobe Creative Cloud does not support Bootcamp by Apple IOS operating system, but does work with boot camp Win 8.1 why"

    Adobe Creative Cloud does not support APPLE latest IOS operating system, but does allow Windows 8.1 to be accepted. This seems a shame to me, as
    Apple IOS is the leader in graphics, photography. The advertising states it is usable under both APPLE IOS and Microsoft 8.1 windows operating systems. Adobe Support Chat Sooraj tells me on 02/19/2015 that i must buy two computers to have it operate on both operating systems. Adobe will not support apple's Boot CAMP allowing both operating systems.
    i love the apple product and love the ADOBE Photoshop CC, but it simply does now work with an apple keyboard and a WiN operating system. .[email protected]  Adobe Creative Cloud

    In Thehatters defence, this was initially posted in the MacbookPro forum and then moved to Boot Camp,

  • I have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this?

    i have a problem with installing PS13 as I get an error message "This installer does not support installation on a 64-Bit Windows operating system. Please download the 64-Bit version of Photoshop Elements." how do i do this

    Try downloading the trial. It ought to detect that you have a 64-bit system.
    You aren't using Vista, are you? PSE 13 requires at least win 7 and I think a few folks with vista have gotten a similar error message on trying to install it.

  • I keep getting this error message "Your operating system does not support the 64-bit version of Silverlight" even though I have a 64 bit system?

    As said Firefox for Windows from mozilla.org is a 32-bit application. The WOW64 in UA means it is a 32-bit application on 64-bit Windows.
    Before you ask if there will be a Win64 version of Firefox. If all goes well the first phase of having Win64 for Release may be as early as Firefox 37.0
