Everytime i remove the 55-250mm and install the old 18-55mm lens i am unablke to take any pictures, the lens freezes and the picture button does not execute. when i remove the (old) 18-55 and re-install the new 55-250 i can take pictures normally !!!
Please can anyone share with me if this happened and how can we fit it ?
thanks

Try a reset. Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider.

Can't take pictures with Image Capture - Canon Camera

I can't take pictures using Image Capture using either my Canon Power Shot A710IS or my husband's SD600. I can download pictures with both cameras, but if I switch to shooting mode, Image Capture says "No Image Capture Device Connected." I know it worked with my PowerShot A75, but my *&%$ son broke it.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I would call (800) 828-4040 Canon Tech Support. I have found them very helpful, and its easier than typing here

I need take take pictures with a 60D using may notebook as the monitor. How can I do that?

I need take take pictures with a 60D using may notebook as the monitor. How can I do that?

I use my Galaxy Note 2 as a monitor when shooting with my 60D. The phone has a program I uploaded called DSLR Controller. This program allows me to use my phone not only as a monitor, but a remote control as well. I do some real estate photography where I elevate my camera on a 20 foot pole and can see and fire the camera using my Note 2.
I also have the software that came with the camera to use a laptop for the same functions, but I find the Note 2 is not as bulky when taking a shot and moving to another location and shooting again.
So LOTS of options are available!
Canon EOS 60D, Rebel T3

Black Screen (Unable To Take Picture)

Whenever I go to take a picture or video, all I get is a black screen. Pictures refuse to snap, giving an "Unable To Take Picture" error and videos don't record at all.
I've tried resetting, full erase, and Web OS Doctor.

Hello ninja and welcome to the forums;
If you've run the webOS Doctor and are still encountering a problem with the camera, I would recommend replacing your device. As you have purchased within the last 30 days, I would refer you back to your original point of sale for a new replacement instead of a reconditioned device.

Unable to load pictures with mac osx..

I was wondering if anyone knows the reason why I'm unable to load pictures with my macbook for e-bay when I sell??? It just keep turning and turning with no results...
Is it the new operating platform (osx) or what could it be?? I have tried it with an older mac, had no problem loading them....
Thanks for comments....David..

Is there an uploader program from ebay that you use? If so, then you might try digging out the preference file from your library/preferences and see if it generates a new, non-corrupt one. If it uses a browser interface and that is stalling, then I'd suggest using a different browser. You can also ask ebay support.

Hi Midnightbrat,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
The troubleshooting steps for the camera on the iPad are similar to the iPhone: I've highlighted the pertinent steps below:
Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
Camera
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning the iPad off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try switching between the front and the back cameras to verify if the issue persists on both.
I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!

I can't take pictures with my iphone

I can't take pictures with my iphone b/c it says I don't have enough storage. I only have 120 pics on the phone now. My settings show I have 14.6 GB available of a total 15 GB. Why can't I access it to take pics?

Have you tried a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

Why can't I take pictures with my iPhone 4?

In some strange way i'm not able to take pictures with my iPhone 4 since a couple of days ago. In the begining it said that there weren't enough storage in iCloud something.. (it just suddenly stopped letting me take pictures, even though I was able to take one just a few hours ago, the same day.. I'm able to take print screens and it looks like this when I'm trying to take a photo). After some reasearch I do have enough storage at iCloud and also in my iPhone, which now makes me believe the storage isn't the problem.
I've also restart my phone a couple of times, reseted it by pressing and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time (until the Apple logo appears) and updated/connected it to iTunes on my computer. What's next?
