T5i auto flash not working

My T5i auto flash has stopped working in every mode except CA. It worked fine for a while but now this problem just appeared. I have the 100-400 and 24-105 lenses and the same thing happens with both. I upgraded the firmware but that did not help. I really dont want to send this camera back to the factory though it is still under warranty...any thoughts? Thanks.

Normally you have to pop-up the flash to enable it. But the camera will raise the flash on it's own in some modes... CA, full auto (green box), and some of the scene-based modes such as portrait, close-up, and night-scene.
In other modes it should not pop up on it's own, but if you press the button to raise the flash then the camera will use it (basically your decision to leave the flash down vs. pop the flash up tells the camera if you'd like to use it ... or not.) You raise the flash by pressing the button that resembles a lightning bolt on the front of the camera located near the "EOS Rebel T5i" badge.
The built-in flash isn't nearly as powerful as some external flashes. Subject distances should typically be within about 10' or so when using the built-in flash. If you need to cover greater distances (as might be the case when using a 100-400mm lens) then you'd need an appropriate external flash.

Flash not working in Safari 5

Flash has been buggy for me in Safari 5, ever since I updated the Flash player last week to "10.1 r53". Either Flash files don't play at all, or just the audio plays without video.
Per the instructions on these boards, I have:
1. reset Safari
2. uninstalled flash player
3. installed the flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
The issue is still there. Firefox plays Flash files, YouTube, etc. just fine. Safari does not.
I'm running SL 10.6.4, latest Software Updates.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

I created a new account. Flash works in the new account. That's cool, but I really don't want to re-locate all my prefs, etc., just for a buggy plugin.
So, I next...
1. grabbed the Safari plist from the new account
2. logged out of the new account
3. logged into the old account (where Flash does not work)
4. moved the old account's com.apple.safari plist file out of the Preferences folder
5. moved the clean Safari plist file (from the new account) into the Preferences folder
6. reset and restarted Safari
7. Flash worked...for about two minutes. I tested on YouTube, Vimeo and Google Analytics. Back to Flash not working in Safari.
I then tried repeating the earlier steps.
1. reset Safari
2. uninstall flash player
3. install flash player
4. repaired permissions
5. restarted
Still doesn't work.
Just one other thing to note: whenever I pull up a web page with Flash, I get a "file not found" error in Safari's activity monitor (link is below)...could this be an error with Adobe's website rather than a Safari-permission thing?

Flash not working in photo booth.

The flash in photo booth on my iMac is not working. When I take a pic, the screen flashes but the pic is still dark. Was working fine yesterday. I did install the latest osx today. That's the only changes since then.

In case anyone is interested in your screen flash not working in the Yosemite or Maverick photo booth application, I finally called Apple today and he kept insisting it was working on his - I asked him to take a pic with the screen flash enabled and then disable it and he said it came out the same. And rationalized that it was because he was in a well lit room. I kept telling him in my old photo booth from system 10.6.8 that my face was lit up and my husband had reflections from his glasses so we went from him wanting me to reinstall my software (I refused since both computers were having the same problem - one using Yosemite and the other using Maverick) to him finally going into HIS partitioned disk that has system 10.6.8 on it to discover that the flash there reflected off HIS glasses too. Bottom line is he admitted there has to be some flaw that prevented the photo booth flash from working for Maverick and Yosemite. Whew, finally validation!

Why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

why does adobe flash not work in my firefox. i have down loaded it several times. it will work in explorer and chrome.

IE uses a different version of Flash than other browsers use. You need to install the Plugin version of Flash for Firefox.
1.Download the Flash setup file from here: 
[http://fpdownload.adobe.com/get/flashplayer/current/install_flash_player.exe Adobe Flash - Plugin version]. 
Save it to your Desktop. 
2. Close Firefox using File > Exit 
then check the Task Manager > Processes tab to make sure '''firefox.exe''' is closed, 
{XP: Ctrl+Alt+Del, Vista: Shift+Ctrl+ESC = Processes tab}
3. Then run the Flash setup file from your Desktop.

Flash is totally unrelated to Java, so what you're saying is that certain plugins are not working under Safari of which one just happens to be Java. You're the second one I see make mention of that, but the fact remains that you'd need to ask Apple what is going on with their browser.

Auto brightness not working in ios6

I updated my iPad (3rd gen) to ios6, but when the update is complete i found that the auto brightness not working, when i use the ipad on dark room the brightness not changing, when i use ios5.1 it changing.. Any solution and actually the problem is on ios or in the hardware? Looking for help asap...

Well my device is different and since it is a iPhone 5, it is not being updated to iOS 6 but the issue is exactly the same. From my mind this could be up to software but also could be from an hardware issue. The thing is that even if it worked before iOS 6 for you the new software could have revealed hardware conflicts since the software interacts different with the hardware for some features. This would be the worst case scenario because I know that normally iPhone 4 devices if not the 8GB model will be out of warranty. For me this is just a small issue since my warranty is still one year :(
I have contacted apple care for this issue and have get the info that it will be escalated to the engineering team, for further investigation. As I know there was also an issue with some proximity sensors at the beginning if the iPhone 4 models and I think there was an software fix for a lot of them. Hope for the best!!!
I have also done a lot of Troubleshooting, reseted settings, content and settings, restored in dfu and recovery mode, restored with new .ipsw (iPhone OS), restored on different pc (so even this step gas downloaded a totally new .ipsw file), first on a Mac!
Next step wis that I will let the battery drain low entirely, a Troubleshooting idea of an friend. This might empower the entire hardware for a restart. I am not really believing in this step but I will give it a try :)

Photo Booth flash not working in Maverick or Yosemite

I have noticed that the photo booth flash in Maverick on my Macbook Pro and in Yosemite on my iMac is not working Screen flash is enabled on both.
So this is happening on two different computers. Does anyone know how to fix this? All my photos are so dark on both of my computers using Maverick and Macbook Pro.
It works fine on system 10.6.8 though.
Has anyone else had this problem too?

Hi KMS, check the codec used between that GW using the FXO and the CTI RP.
Check also the Calling Seach Space
GW should be able to reach CTI Route Point and CTI ports partition.
If you try other extension it works fine?

Auto keyframe and auto transition not working

auto keyframe and auto transition not working and I have a creative cloud, in addition the auto keyframe works in the getting startel lessons....

In order to use these you need to have the autokey frame and transition selected
OFF ON
and have the first key checked then move the playhead to the new position and it should add the transition.
Did you try this and it is not working?.

Auto dial not working

Auto dial not working
I'm using an iPad 4, with WiFi and Cellular and iOS 8.1.3
In the past if I was searching for a hotel and found one I only had to tap on the phone number and it would dial using either Skype or MagicJack. It worked using Wi-Fi or my data plan. It was an absolutely valuable function especially when traveling.
Now, when I click on a phone number, it says that it's going to exit the program (like Safari) and start a new program. When I click, Ok, nothing happens.
I must have inadvertently changed some setting.
Skype works, MagicJack works, but I must dial the number manually.
I have tried turning "Handoff" off and on then rebooting, turning FaceTime off and on and rebooting (and every combination of those two programs and actions).
To say the least, I am frustrated because it must be something obvious. (to everyone else!)
Any ideas as to how to how I can get it to dial automatically again?
Thanks for any assistance.

IPAD user guide for IOS 8 is available on line at apple -
you can download it in IBOOK or PDF format to refer to when you can't get connected to see it on-line
http://support.apple.com/manuals
Handoff is only for using with multiple devices - Iphone/Ipad/ipod
This is the bit in Handoff on Phone calls
Phone calls
If your iPhone (with iOS 8) is nearby, you can make and receive phone calls on your other iOS devices and Mac computers. All devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network, and signed into FaceTime and iCloud using the same Apple ID.
Make a phone call on iPad. Tap a phone number in Contacts, Calendar, or Safari. You can also tap a recent contact in the multitasking screen.
Disable iPhone Cellular Calls. On your iPhone, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn off iPhone Cellular Calls.
You may have to use Face Time to make calls from the IPAD -- there are page or 2 on that --

Auto brightness not working on iPhone 5?

On the iPhone 5 - In the settings, when flicking the auto brightness on/off the screen shows no change in brightness - whether in a completely dark room or with the lights on etc. My iPhone 4 has been updated to IOS6 and seems to be working normally (brightness auto adjusts in all situations).
Anyone else have this problem of the auto brightness not working?

There is nothing wrong with the auto brightness.
When you have auto brightness enabled the slider works as the minimum brightness setting with auto brightness.
If you have the slider too high the brightness cant reduce because youre not letting it.
Set your brightness at about 25% and you'll see what I mean.

Flash player silent auto update not working

I was glad to read the news about the new feature of silent auto updates of the Adobe Flash player, but unfortunately this is not working on my machine. Has anyone had the same problems and was able to solve them?
Some information on my setup:
I had previously installed Flash player version 11.1.102.63, both ActiveX and Plugin version (installed through the .msi files, deployed via Active Directory/GPO - no further configuration, just plain original .msi files).
To test the auto update feature, I decided to install the new 11.2.202.228 version, but only the ActiveX version. I installed this via the .exe installer (install_flash_player_11_active_x_32bit.exe) manually, choosing "Install updates automatically when available (recommended)" in the last step of the installation, as seen here:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flashplayer/articles/background-updater-windows.html
When I open Control Panel -> Flash Player, under the "Advanced" tab I see:
"Install updates automatically" is chosen, but greyed out (no admin rights with this windows user)
ActiveX version: 11.2.202.228
Plug-In version: 11.1.102.63
The file "mms.cfg" under C:\WINDOWS\system32\Macromed\Flash\ contains:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
The task "Adobe Flash Player Updater" was created and is scheduled to run every 1 hour. I can see that it is started ("last start time"), the result code is 0x0 which means "no error".
So everything as expected. But the auto update is not working, since the plugin version of flash player never gets updated!
I edited the "mms.cfg" and added:
SilentAutoUpdateVerboseLogging=1
After manually starting the task, there are some lines added to "FlashInstall.log" in the same directory:

What does this mean?
Some more information:
Windows XP SP3, all windows updates installed, german
Avira Professional Security anti-virus software
Machine is behind a proxy server, but this is set up in Control Panel -> Internet Options
I suppose this is a problem with our proxy server. Does the auto updater not use the proxy information from the Windows Control Panel settings?
Kind Regards,
Martin

Hey Hans,
After reading of your sucsess I attempted to replicate it.
I am happy to say that I managed to update from Adobe Flash 11.2.202.228 to 11.2.202.233 on serveral different windows 7 notebooks and desktops sliently.
I went into the windows task scedular and ran the Adobe Flash Player Updater task (I didn't need to change anything in the task or the service for it to work).
The only issue I found was that if I ran the task again without restarting the computer no requests from the client would show up in the logs from my web server but if I restarted my computer and then reran the task it would work again. I'm assuming that it will only sent requests out every 24hours is talked about in page 18 of the Flash Player 11.2 Administration Guide.
My Web Servers logs look like this:
2012-04-27 05:45:01 W3SVC1967680676 10.135.12.38 GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/xml/version.xml - 443 - 10.135.13.17 Get+Flash+Player+version+xml/1.0 200 0 0
2012-04-27 05:45:05 W3SVC1967680676 10.135.12.38 GET /pub/flashplayer/update/current/sau/11/install/install_all_win_ax_sgn.z - 80 - 10.135.13.17 Download+Flash+Player+Installer/1.0 200 0 0
My mms.cfg looks like this:
AutoUpdateDisable=0
SilentAutoUpdateEnable=1
SilentAutoUpdateServerDomain=proxy.tallangatta-sc.vic.edu.au
I think the biggest issue I had during testing was that I forgot to my web servers certificate into the windows certificate stores trusts root certs of my notebooks/desktops. EG: http://blogs.adobe.com/livecycle/2012/04/rights-management-how-to-get-windows-7-to-trust-a -self-signed-server-certificate.html
I have since deployed the mms.cfg file and added my web servers certificate into the trusted root certs via group policy to all my clients and it is working very well. I have also writen a batch file to download the needed files from adobe for that backgroup updater and to put them on my web server. I created a daily task on my web server to run the batch file. If anyone wants the batch file or shell script please email me and I'll forward it on.
My batch file pretty much looks like this:
