Restricted mode on eos camera
I recently purchased a Canon EOS 40d of the internet and when I got it home, it is in a restricted mode and asking for a password. How do I go about removing the password. I contacted the seller and he said this was why he was selling it.
Thanks in advance,
Matt

What kind of bizarre misfeature is that? I have a 50D, and I don't believe it has any such mode. Have you tried taking out the battery and reverting the camera to its factory settings? What does the manual say on the subject? If the camera didn't come with one, you should be able to find it on the Canon Web site.
I think it's some kind of display model mode, and specific to certain models like the 40D and 1d3. I don't know much about it, but looked around because I was curious... don't waste your time taking out the battery or formatting your drives. Send it back if the seller didn't explicitly state it was in restricted mode. Even if he did, but wasn't completely upfront about it's condition I think you have grounds to return it. Otherwise, it has to go in to Canon, and that's going to cost more than it's worth.
Matthew,
I don't disagree at all with Skirball's advice. If you can get your money back, you can rid yourself of a headache and start fresh. There must be lots of inexpensive 40Ds and 50Ds around. But if you need or want to give it one more shot, ...
The obvious way to impose a restrictive mode on a digital camera is to monkey with the firmware. If they did it by physically re-writing the image in the camera's memory, then you'll have to find a way to restore it to a factory version. This could be pretty hard, and it would almost certainly involve at least a direct USB connection to a computer. I don't see how you could make it re-write the firmware from a card if you couldn't first get by the password.
But another way that firmware mods are sometimes done is to write them on the CF card and fool the camera into looking there first. (A few years ago there was a very popular firmware mod, with versions for a variety of cameras, that worked that way.) But that kind of mod works only if the card is in the camera. So if your camera came with a CF card, and you've tried it only with that card installed, try putting in a freshly formatted card from another camera. Maybe you'll get lucky.
If all else fails, call Canon before you pitch the camera. (I've found their shop in Jamesburg, New Jersey to be very customer friendly.) If they happen to have a quick backdoor method of re-writing the firmware, maybe the repair wouldn't be all that expensive.

Mac will not work with Canon EOS cameras
My imac OS X 10.6 is not working well with my Canon EOS 5d Mark II camera on the tethered mode. The camera works well with other Mac computers, and I have spent hours with Canon tech help. It now seems that the issue may be with the computer. The EOS Utility is working, everything has been updated, all Canon checkpoints look good, but when I use the camera, the image does not transfer. And then everything gets locked into a loop and I have to crash the camera and force quit the program. Is there something in the computer that may be blocking the transfers? any ideas where to look? Canon has done everything on the camera side, but I don't know where to begin with the computer.
OH, ok. So the issue is with transferring the image from the camera to the computer. Since you said you have done everything possible with canon, the camera's firmware is completely up to date, you have the correct software installed. Since you say no cameras work with this computer I am inclined to say the problem is from the computer, which is why the problem exists. I'd do an apple hardware test and see if anything turns up. Clean install of the canon software would also be a good idea.

Iphoto will no longer open when attaching my Canon Eos Camera. I have checked the camera and everything is working perfecty. When I open it myself, Iphoto is working perfectly too. But now when I attach the camera, Iphoto no longer opens at all. Yesterday it did open after a really long wait but it kept saying that it did not recognize the "format" of the images....they were jpegs??? Then it flashed on and off and if I hit download at just the right second they would download. But today it won't work at all. Any suggestions.
thanksAs a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there? -
Database Started In Restricted Mode...
Dear Exports,
We are using Oracle 10gR2 on Windows server 2008. My database size is approximately 2tb. Now we are going to setup Dataguard for our primary. We started the database with the changer parameters for dataguard and create spfile from pfile. And started the database with Spfile. But after some time i noticed that the database started automatically in Restricted mode. As in our database Previously dataguard was configured, due to the some problem that setup is not working and the logs are not applied in Standby server. I thought may be for this reason database going to restricted mode automatically so i set the log_archive_dest_state_2='DEFFER' and Now I scanned the whore alert.log file and found the same situation of restricted is happening from Jan 2010. Please Suggest some solution how i can over come the problem.
The alertlog when i started the database recently...

You have following choices to free up space from flash recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
DELETE EXPIRED commands.

SOLUTION
Fri Apr 12 19:12:51 2013
You have following choices to free up space from flash recovery area:
1. Consider changing RMAN RETENTION POLICY. If you are using Data Guard,
then consider changing RMAN ARCHIVELOG DELETION POLICY.
2. Back up files to tertiary device such as tape using RMAN
BACKUP RECOVERY AREA command.
3. Add disk space and increase db_recovery_file_dest_size parameter to
reflect the new space.
4. Delete unnecessary files using RMAN DELETE command. If an operating
system command was used to delete files, then use RMAN CROSSCHECK and
DELETE EXPIRED commands.

Hi, in our RAC environment, we are enabling egach instance in RESTRICT mode to block incoming connections. But we need specific users to login with restricted session privilege. This is okay with single instance, but with RAC, all users cannot connect. What should be the problem? Thanks
It works just fine with me in 11.2.0.4. My instances are in restricted mode and yet I can connect locally.
SQL> select instance_number,logins
2 from gv$instance;
INSTANCE_NUMBER LOGINS

So it works in 11.2.0.4 just fine. I'll ask one more time.... "please post the exact steps taken and the exact error messages." Otherwise I can't be of much help.

How to put database in RESTRICTED mode ?
Hi,
in 9.2.0.6 on Windows 2003 server how to put database in RESTRICTED mode ?
Many thanks before.ERROR at line 1:
ORA-12719: operation requires database is in RESTRICTED mode
That's because 'ALTER SYSTEM QUIESCE RESTRICTED' doesn't actually put the database into restricted mode:

SQL> alter system quiesce restricted;
System altered.
SQL> select logins, active_state from v$instance;

However - I still think that if you are dealing with users logging in to your (RESTRICTED) database via the listener then the easiest option is to stop the listener whilst the database is down and restart it once your alter database command has completed.
PS : No any other user is connected.No, they wouldn't be this time because you had quiesced the database... but you still need to get the database into restricted mode for this alter database command. -
Monitor database in restrict mode
hello everybody,
is there a way to see session activity information in Top Activity window when database is in restricted mode? Monitored database, OMS and agent are all 10.2.0.3.
So far I have tried to grant restricted session to dbsnmp but it didn't help.
thx for any suggestionhi Alan,
I have tried to connect as sysdba to database but it shows no data. I also reconfigured the database target properties to be monitored through sys (as sysdba) but didn't work either.

AWR Snapshots Required When Database is in Restricted Mode
We are planning to run some processes, but want the database to be in restricted mode to keep "normal" users out.
But we also need to monitor performance on the system during that. Normally however, scheduled jobs such as this don't run in restricted mode.
Does anyone know of any way of still (preferably automatically) running the AWR snapshots when the database (Version 10.1.0.5) is in restrict mode.
I know this may be a little off-topic for this forum, but it was the nearest I could find.
Any information gratefully received.Hi,
Unfortunately this is not possible in version 10.1 .
In 10.2.0.4 (when it is released) and 11g it is possible to allow this using the ALLOW_RUNS_IN_RESTRICTED_MODE boolean job attribute.
In prior releases no jobs will run when the database is in restricted mode.
Thanks,
Ravi. -
Oracle 10g in restricted mode, unable to start up
We have a 10g instance which we shut down and started in restricted mode. It is now open, restrict.
No one including SYS can connect.
ORA-12526: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are in restricted mode
The original session which shut down the DB is logged off.
How can we start the database?
ThanksWe did it by not specifying the instance on the connection.
I.e.
sqlplus system/password@DATABASE
did not work
but
ORACLE_HOME=DATABASE
sqlplus system/password
did

How to put RAC database in restricted mode?is it with srvctl?
I know for standalone database its
SQL> startup restrict --if its down
SQL> alter system enable restricted session; --if its up
Any idea for RAC ? any option with srvctl ? what are the steps .....
Thanks in advance for help
GaganHi
There is no option like that. It's as same as keeping normal database in restricted mode.
alter database enable restricted session;
and end with
alter database disable restricted session.

ORA-12526: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are in restricted mode
Hi all,
I am trying to connect to Oracle10.2.0.2 in solaris9 as
conn sys/password@dbname as sysdba
but after this attempt it showing
ORA-12526: TNS:listener: all appropriate instances are in restricted mode
but if i connect like this
conn sys/password as sysdba
it works.
Can some one give me the solution for the same?
Thanks
VipinHi,
When you want to connect to database there are majorly two kinds of protocols are involve
1. TCP and
2. IPC
when you are talking about <username>/<password>@<servername > then though you are on same server you are refering to TCP protocol and when you are talking about <username>/<password> then you are refering to IPC protocol
now here when you are going to connect to your database through
conn sys/password as sysdba
its working fine because you are using IPC and if you connect through
conn sys/password@dbname as sysdba
it will show you error because you are using Listener TCP.
So i think that you need to check your listener status and database status both and give the output.
Thanks

Canon EOS camera recognized but system can't access to new photos
From some time I can't access to Canon EOS camera - DigiKam crashed when try to show camera flash content, konquerror shows empty space on the camera: pseudodevice.
Whow that's weird.
Assuming we're all talking about the same issue, as i said, i've tried an old kernel -3.9.3- and the problem didn't went away.
-EDIT
Anyway, confirmed.

Ignore the "failed to open session" message, it is because (probably) the session was already opened by dolphin.

Apache in restricted mode not rendering downtime.html
Hi All,
I scheduled the downtime and brough the application services down, and then started the apache in restricted mode. But on accessing the logon link the downtime page is not coming up. Can you please help me on this.
Instance Details

Hi Srini,
Thanks for your reply. I have referred this document before scheduling the downtime. I haven't enabled the maintenance mode yet as i just wanted to see if the downtime page comes up before enabling the maintenance mode and subsequent patch application.
I have followed step 6 as mentioned in the document, except that i have skipped the point 3(Enable Maintenance mode).
Strangely this is working on one instance and does not work on the other, instance1 and instance2 are perfectly same. we have a 2 tier architecture.Are both instances on the same patchset level?
What if you don't skip enabling maintenance mode, does this make a difference?
Please also make sure you review (Managing Downtime in Restricted Mode from OAM [ID 364236.1]).
