Problem with the AF of my new 18-135mm EFS IS STM lens

Hello,
The lens came with the EOS Rebel T5i bundle.
The auto focus is working incorrectly, focusing closer than the detected area. This is happening when I use the viewfinder. When a picture is taken using the “direct view” (LCD display) it focus correctly.
I didn’t use the camera a lot since I bought it, now looking the first pictures I see that this problem is happening since I bought it.
I changed the zoom lens with another Canon camera and then my new Rebel T5i works fine and the same problem happens with the other camera, therefore I’m sure that the problem is in the lens and not in the camera body.
The out of focus is more noticeable when I'm taking pictures in 18mm position to an object farther than 2 meters but it is happening in any zoom position. It is clear when I compare the same picture taken with the viewfinder with one taken with the LCD Display.
I updated the body firmware and the problem continues.
Is it possible to update the lens firmaware? I couldn’t find them in the canon webpage.
I will go into an important trip next week, therefore I will not have time to send the camera to repair.
Any idea?
Thanks!

You may want to rent a lens for your trip and get this lens to service.
You'll want to be sure it really is a problem with the lens (it sounds like it is from your description). Test the lens against a "flat" target (such as a wall). You can hang something on the wall with high-contrast (newspaper works great) and put the camera on a tripod. The idea is that (a) the camera is definitely not moving, (b) the focus target is definitely not moving, and (c) the target is flat and there are no distracting objects in the field of view so it's not possible for the focus system to decide to lock focus on anything OTHER than your intended target.
Next... deliberately turn the focus ring to put the camera out of focus (so that the camera HAS to move the focus). This is mildly tricky with an STM lens since there's no mechanical link from the focus ring to the lens -- it's electronic. The lens only accepts focus input when focus is active (e.g. half-press the shutter button, etc. to wake it up.) I run focus all the way in and test several times, then run focus all the way out and test several times (that way it has to move focus in both directions.)
If the lens is consistently focusing closer, then it will need service.

Problems with the creation of a new domain using JCAPS6

Hello again,
I created a new domain, in addition to default domain1, with JCaps 6, following the steps in this link:
http://blogs.sun.com/polyblog/entry/creating_a_new_caps_6
I arrived to the step 4 of the procedure "install runtime installation" and I adapted install.xml file also (not only the install.properties), with the correct values concerning domainName and port.
When I run the ant-command then, I always get the following error:
C:\JavaCAPS6\appserver\bin>asant -f C:\JavaCAPS6\appserver\addons\caps\install.xml
Buildfile: C:\JavaCAPS6\appserver\addons\caps\install.xml

How can i do to solve this problem?

Problems with the setup of my new AE

Hi to all. I have an Airport Express since a long time, that works properly. I got a new one, to extend my signal to other area of my house. The first time I connected the new AE (802.11n)to configure it, the Airport Utility recognized the devise but I got an error message that prompt me to repeat the previous steps. After this, the new devise can't be recognized to be configured. I have restarted the AE without luck. What I am doing wrong?

Hi - am having same problem. The Airport Utility sees the base station, but clicking Manual Setup or Continue sends it into a long search (for the config file I believe) and it then puts up error message "An error occured while reading the configuration file..."
All I can do is RESCAN.
Thought I had it sorted... Restarted both AX and iMac (G5) and got through the whole manual setup. Now it is saying "Your AX doesn't have a valid IP address... Make sure..."
I must say Apple isn't making it easy with this.

Problems with the setup of my new Z10

Hello.
Can anyone help me? I just got my new Z10 and I cannot get past the agreement menu, it keeps sending me back to the 'wi-fi connections' menu. I am connected to my mobile network, I have tried connecting to my home network, but the same thing happens (it forwards to the agreement menu, waits a while and then goes back to the wi-fi menu). I cannot turn off my wi-fi connections.
Please help.

Well, I'm glad to hear it has worked out now!
I only asked about the previous device as I wanted to make sure you were previously subscribed to BlackBerry data services.
Thanks!

Is anyone having a problem with the new iPad (Gen. 3) not staying connected to the charger? It seems to ALWAYS get jiggled loose and no longer be charging. My iPad 1 has no issue but I can't browse Internet w/o new iPad unplugging. Horrible!

I notice that my new IPad (3rd generation) will not stay connected to the power cord at all, I'm not exagerating, if I plug it in and browse the Internet without fail it will become unplugged and I will have to push the plug back in (Ba-beep). Ive actually grown to despise that sound when you plug your iPhone or iPad in because it reminds me of how much money I spent on something that PHYSICALLY will not charge while I'm using it.
I know the problem with it holding a charge while in use, I get it, the screen is amazing and it takes a lot to run the display, however, it is unacceptable to me that I can't even keep the thing plugged in while I'm using it. I can not even leave it on my Cal King bed overnight because I will wake up in the morning to find that the plug has been jiggled loose in a corner, so it's still attached but not making a connection thus not being charged.
I love the 4GLTE from Verizon and I love the iPad, but I'm actually using my 1st generation IPad while I am at home so I can leave my new $900 iPad on a table to charge free of incident so I can use the 4G while I'm away from wifi during the day. I have been getting more upset about this because I can not even use the Griffin extended cord to charge the iPad and be far from the plug because only the original apple sync/charge cord will have a better shot at staying in. Absolutely none of my non apple cables will stay in the iPad 3 while having it in my hands.
The plug is at an angle, unlike the first iPad, not sure about the iPad 2. Please let me know if they have same issue.
If anyone else is having this problem with the Gen 3 iPad please let me know because I'm tempted to do something about it with apple and I'm hoping that I just for some reason have a bad cable receiver or something and maybe I can get a replacement and enjoy the iPad as I had expected to. There is no reason why I should be even using my first iPad and I have friends that want to buy it but I am not selling it because I'm unable to sell it because I can't handle the new iPad while it's plugged in, that is ridiculous if it's a common issue so please let me know!

Thanks for the swift reply, I have been looking online and a loose plug seems to be somewhat of an issue with many, I hope mine is actually a problem and not what others are experiencing. It's taken me this long to even reach out for the simple fact I HATE being a complainer but this is just horrible.
Do you have an iPad 3 as well? And is yours not experiencing any issues close to mine?
Thanks again!

Problems with the new Pages.

Hi everyone.
I wonder if i am the only one experiencing a little problem with the new Pages?
My problem is that every other time i want to correct the font lets say trying to underline or make the font fatter using the hotkeys "Command+B" or "Command+U" or "Command+I", or even changing it manually in "formats" my font gets stuck, and i have to copy-paste text from another pages-file into my old one to get et back to normal.
Anyone else tried this?
Martin.

Problems with the new itouch...

I got the new touch less than a month ago. Now he is not charging or conecting to any computer. I tried mine and a friend's and neither worked. Can this be a problem with the ipod or could it be the cable?

If you have the 5G iPod is could be the cable some users are reported either an initial defective cable or a cable that became defective after a short time.

Problem with the new server UCS C220 for set IP to CIMC

Hi
We’ve a problem with the new server UCS C220.
We bought two servers UCS C220 M3 for CallManager 8.6 with High Availability.
When we turn on the server during the boot and when it tells us, oppress F8 to enter at the CIMC and set the IP. But it never enters at the CIMC.
Then, we configure our DHCP server and our switch, we connect the three gigabyte ports to our switch to give him an IP to the CIMC, so and then can enter via browser, but neither works.
Note. The dedicated management NIC does not link, the other two ports do make link.
What do you suggest to put an IP to CIMC and start installing our applications?
regards

You may have noticed that there is no DVD rom on the c220. What you need to do is:
Login into the CIMC from your browser
Luanch the KVM
Insert the VMware DVD in your machines drive
On the KVM pop up there should be a tab to mount the drive, after mounting it click on Macros and choose ctrl_alt+delete to restart.
After the VMware OS installs press F2 to enter IP.
Browse to the VMware ip to download the Vsphere client
Open the Vsphere client, enter the ip of the vmware and the username will be root and no password if you did not set one.
You can now upload OVA templates or manually create virtua machine from this enviroment.
Hope this help

I'm waiting for my new iPhone 5s to be delivered. I lost my iPhone 5 but did have it backed up on my MacBook Pro. I was using iOS6 at the time. Will I have a problem restoring the data to my new iPhone 5s assuming it will come with iOS7?

No, you should not. There are problems trying to go the other way, but updating a newer iOS release from a backup of an older iOS release has always been supported and is the basic means of setting up a new device from a previous one.

this is all greek to me. WHAT IS STARTTLS? On the first page of Apple set up there is a TLS certificate and it is marked NONE- should I change it to the long APPLE CERT option? The next page under ADVANCED: THERE IS A BOX SSL MARKED. Then IMAP Path Prefix - I put stmp.gmail.com.. is that right? Port 993 can use this one? as 456 doesn't work and 587 said it wasn't safe. Under AUTHENTICATION I used PASSWORD. Should I have used external client cert TLS?
Please help me set this up securely. Thanks

as there was some problem with the first one. Now at some places still my old apple Id is appearing. Pls adv how I change this to my new apple Id.

Anything you downloaded with the first Apple Id will forever be tied to it, and will always require it to update.
The question here is, why did you think you needed to create a new Apple ID? What was the problem with the first one?
To get rid of th old one, you'll need to delete everything you downloaded with it, and then sign out of the ID in several places around the iPad.
Go to Settings->iTunes & App Stores->Apple ID->Sign out.
Repeat the process, for Facetime, Messages, Mail and any other App you need to sign out of.

I'd take it into my local APple store and have them look at it. There may be something wrong inside your device.
