Rebel t3 won't take pictures and now there's a floater when I look in the viewfinder

I've had my camera for 8 months and it just stopped working. I've been in contact with Canon about the camera not taking pictures. They've given me some troubleshooting to try and so far it looks like a lens issue. The last instructions I was given said to remove the lens and clean the metal contacts, which I did. After doing that now I see a floater when I look through the viewfinder. Any ideas?

Does this only show up when you look through the viewfinder? E.g. Does it appear in a photo or in live view mode?
If only in the viewfinder then you may have a bit of dust, etc on the focus screen.
Using a hand-squeeze blower (e.g. A Giotto Rocket Blower, etc. avoid cans of compressed air because they can spray some propellant which leaves a hazy residue.) to gently blow out dust.
The focus screen has a fine textured surface and if you touch the screen you can easily make things worse.

HT1420 iphone to friends computer only loaded all pictures and now iphone says will sync when wifi present to the 2 I used previous to unload pics. how do I have them not receive or my iphone stop say will send to them?

When in europe I needed to empty pics while on vacation. 2 friends let me load them onto their computer and then a flashdrive and portable hard drive of mine. Iphone still says it will sync to them even though showed as my iphone automatically on their computer . How do I stop this wifi auto sync that was not music only pics. I did the first myself to the one computer and drag and drop to a file on theirs. Maybe itunes helped create file??

Music wont sync on my new iphone 4s. Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. What to do?

Restored it from a backup and now there's no music on it. In the music tab it iTunes says: Thomas iPhone has access to music on iCloud. Songs can be fetched via WIFI or a mobile network. The pnly thing I can chose to sync are voice memos.
What can I do?

If you want all the songs from an artist on your phone you can to to the artist view, tap on the artist, scroll to the bottom of the list and you will see a Download All button. This works for playlists and albums too (scroll to the bottom and tap the Download All button). I suppose if you wanted all your music on your phone you could create a smart playlist in iTunes on your computer that would contain all your music, upload it to iTunes match (Store>Update iTunes Match), and then you would get a Download All button at the bottom of this playlist on your phone to download all your songs.

HT204406 I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list, why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs by artist on iPhone, so thes

I used Match, and now there are artists missing when I search by artist, yet they are in my library when I search by song. If they are in many song list, why aren't they in my artist list? Also I can't sort my songs list by artist on iPhone, so their music is basically lost in space....help

It's not clear from your post, but you do realise
that if you import a cd as a compilation, it will not
appear under artists? This is done to save the iPod
being cluttered up with single artists entries who
might have only one song listed.
I wasn't aware of that. It's true that I haven't been using the "compilation" tag for a long time. I've only started using it with iTunes 7 as otherwise with Coverflow I would have one album cover for each artist in a compilation. Before that my compilations weren't tagged as such as that is quite probably why each artist from compilations showed up when browsing by artists.

Why does firefox become less userfriendly with each update? first there no tab saver addon anymore and now there is no way to place spaces between the buttons

there seems to be no possible way for any software developer to understand that whenever you release an update that changes the interface of the software it only annoys people
i am now searching for a usable downgrade and looking around for an alternative for firefox
thx for replacing userfriendlyness with that smooth and simple layout
bringing back tab saver would perhaps change my mind despite the fact that my google search box and webadress box is now as wide as my screen witch is kinda useless not to mention ugly as fuck
why instal a theme if there is always shit in front of it

You can look at the Classic Theme Restorer extension to restore some functionality that was lost with the arrival of the Australis style in Firefox 29.
*Classic Theme Restorer: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/classicthemerestorer/
You can check the settings of the CTR extension via its Options/Preferences button on the "Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions" page.

Hello,
While your BB may not, while in your possession, have been part of a BES environment, it nevertheless likely has an IT policy in place as this is one of the key symptoms of that fact. If it ever was part of BES, then there are specific steps that must be taken to remove the IT Policy...just removing it from BES does not remove the policy. The process to remove it is totally destructive, so be sure you back up first. Also, when you restore, DO NOT do a full restore...rather, do a selective restore of only those things you need...if you do a full restore, you will simply put that IT Policy back onto your BB and be right back where you started.
OK, so here is the procedure:

I have 51 apps that were indicated need for updating. Clicked update all and now there is only a very slow progression thru the apps. Why so slow? Should apps be updated one at a time?

I have 51 apps that needed updating. I clicked update all and then they began to very slowly update. Very slow. Is this usual? Should I update one app at a time and do I really need to do all this updating all the time? It's time consuming or am I doing something wrong?

51 apps is a lot, it could take time. It also depends on the local network and how busy it is. Many users have complained today that they can access contacts, calendars, and/or email - maybe there are server problems right now (and today is the big Apple announcements, so things may be in flux).
When I have a lot of apps to update, I do it using iTunes on my mac.

After updating to Firfox Sync 1.6.1 all my bookmarks are duplicated and now there's TWO of all of them (in the shortcut bar below the address line)

In the short cut bar below the address line in Firefox, all the items appear twice. The folders that are featured there (collections of shortcuts) are also double now, but one of them is empty and the other contains the normal shortcuts.
It happened RIGHT AFTER updating to 1.6.1

On the off chance anyone is watching the thread ...
I seem to have resolved the issue of sending a photo to my wife through messages by turning off iMessage, then rebooting (not resetting) the phone.
I still have the issue in Photos. If I select the share icon, then select message, it brings up a message authoring window with the photo in it, but never offers an opportunity to select a contact to send it to.

Dropped my iPhone 4s and now there are lines across the screen?! Help!

Hey everyone!
So, I have recently dropped my iPhone 4S and now there are all these blue vertical lines across the screen, which occasionally change colour also.
I am still able to receive messages and calls, and siri still works, it's simply that I can't see a single thing I am doing- which is very difficult!
I was wondering if this is an issue that needs to be fixed at an Apple store- and if so, how much it would cost? Or if I would be able to fix it myself somehow.
N.B: I've tried to reset it, it doesn't work. I have also tried to restore the iPhone, but iTunes won't let me do this as I have to have the 'find my iPhone' app turned off, which I cannot do because I can't see anything I'm doing!
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Kirstoodles.

Yes. It's broken. A replacement will cost you $199.

The iPhone is not user servicable. Apple does not sell parts for the iPhone. any parts you could get are either stolen, counterfeit, or salvaged. Atempting to fix it yourself will render it unsupportable and forfeit your right to service from Apple, including an out of warranty replacement.

I've used up several gift cards playing games on my iPad. Now I want to put back in my main credit card that I use playing games and it won't take it. Says there are too many cards associated with this apple ID. I have no idea what to do now -- anybody?

You can not merge accounts.
Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

I updated my iphone4 and now there is just a screen with blue itunes circle and a picture of the charging cable, it won't do anything

I updated my iphone4 today and now there is just a black screen with a blue itunes circle, below that an up arrow and below that a picture of the charging cable that plugs into the phone. If I hold the power off button down the screen shuts off but no slide msg to power off. The home button does nothing.

I have no idea what may have caused your MacBook to stop working, but from your description it kind of sounds like it may have started before you ran Software Update and installed the new Apps. Just the general slow feeling and bugginess is what tips me off. You said that you weren't sure if you had closed all open windows, that doesn't matter if the computer restarts itself. It automatically closes all other open applications when restarting.
As to your data being retrievable, if when you take it in they do a fresh install of the OS, then no, it will not be unless you want to pay several thousand dollars to a software retrieval company.
I am glad to hear that you have taken into the Apple Store to get it fixed, and that you have all of your purchased music backed up to your iPod. You should be able to just transfer it all back to iTunes once you get your computer back should it be necessary.
As a side note, the proper place for this topic would probably in the MacBook forums, not iTunes since there is no evidence that iTunes started the issue.

My ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it....help..help!

my ipad won't recharge and now there is no power to even reset it

Could be the charger, cable or iPad. Plug the USB cable into your computer. It may say "Not Charging", however, it is charging slowly and will verify that the cable is good.
Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
