When will Canon start making its' own software for remote control since Pixela is so terrible at it?

It totally sucks that Canon dares sell their camcorder on the fact that YOUR smartphone is the remote control and yet they have ZERO support on the software! At present your chances are far more likely that your smartphone will not work with the Pixela software and that you WILL NOT HAVE A REMOTE CONTROL for your Canon product. Canon seems very uninterested in taking care of this problem.
How many people have bought a Canon product with the promise of your remote control being your smartphone and then not finding that they have a phones that is not “compatible” ?!?!?!? Is Canon expected everyone that buys one of these to then buy a matching phone? This is crazy and it sure puts a terrible light on Canon! 
This is my first Canon product and I am NOT impressed! I have the Canon Vixia HF R42 and Android 2.3.4 and I am NOT a happy camper with Canon! Send me my damned remote control for this camera!

Canon should have a complete list of all the phones that do not work with this crappy software maker! Better yet, they should include a real remote with their cameras, but at present Canon needs to advertise that more than likely their camcorders with be remoteLESS for you! This is crazy that you don’t know until AFTER you get the Canon product home that you might have to buy a new phone to have a remote control. 
This seriously SUCKS!

  • IPhone not making its own album for downloaded photos

    Why iphone dont do this?
    I always download lots of photo from different apps and why they all go to "Camera roll" instead of making a new album for the photos?
    example. i downloaded a photo from viber, iphone should create an album named "Viber" on the Photo because the photo is from there and if its from facebook its named "Facebook" or from the internet "Download". If you guys know what i mean, because its like a trash can 1 basket with different things.
    and what im asking is album of photos for each apps.
    Is there a way or something that can do that?
    Android does this.. Im not comparing them, just saying..

    Dear ecarlivan,
    I agree with you absolutely, I have the same problem and dont be sorry to compare with android, because Apple in his great wish to be very original loosing some quality on functional side. I become Iphone 5s user two weeks ago and day by day I notice more and more things that they are not right. And even here i dont see any wish from apple people to change something.
    Sorry to say but I am very disappointed.
    Only good appearance.

  • Is Apple Making Its Own Bumper for the iPhone 5?

    I'm hoping for something similar to this...http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC839ZM/B/apple-iphone-4-bumper-black.  I'm not finding anything of the like on the Apple website and am not sure about Apple Stores.
    Alex

    I found a similar bumper on Amazon this morning, just because I like the feel of a bumper vs. a case.  I'd read an article saying Apple wasn't going to come out with bumpers for this phone since the main reason they  made them was for the antenna issue with the 4.  But, i could be wrong....and i'm hoping they do too. Actually was surprised to not see some cases available to buy today on here......

    This is a user-supported board. You are not addressing Apple here. Nor is it a good idea to post your private information to a public forum. You should edit your post immediately.
    Unfortunately no one here can access your support history. You must respond to the emails directly.

  • HT204391 How come Apple can't use its own software to create this guide as a pdf or an iBook?

    Does Apple actually use its own software?
    The woefully few manuals it manages to provide now are all created in Indesign and desperately need the critical eye of an editor to correct the errors, ommisions, obsolescence and plain confusing statements.
    As Apple's efforts grow ever more obscure, awkward, contradictory and difficult to use, it tells it Users next to nothing about how they all work.

    LOL, I saw the points tally and thought at first  you were opening a thread to motivate some ideas to pass back!
    I assumed also that the points did not come  from iBA and like others... were experienced and skilled dealing with Pages etc,.
    Fact is  Apple cloned iBA from Pages - which is basically a sound concept and suits a purpose.. but the cry as always been... "give us a decent manual".  Apple in their wisdom apparently did not conceive that people would use iBA having never used pages. I actually purchased iWorks back in 2005 for  my then new PowerPC G5 10.4.11 tried it and went back to  MS Publisher!
    18 months or more on depending on iBA's release, most  users are pretty much capable now but  a few new comers from other software packages  do seen to  have trouble getting information to start up.
    From Apples point of view.. their project worked, the software  as it is as flooded the book store with product dedicated to iPads and therfore income for Apple only.  I have no doubt the next update will deal with some of the isssues sent  in as feedback.
    Meanwhile, welcome to the club.........

  • When should a subclass have its own fields and when should it use its super

    When should a subclass have its own fields and when should it use its superclass' fields?
    Hi, thank you for reading this post!
    Let me use a specific example to ask my question.
    public class BankAccount {
         private double accountBalance;
         public double getBalance() {
              return this.accountBalance;
    public class SavingsAccount extends BankAccount {
         private double accountBalance;
         public double getBalance() {
              return this.accountBalance;
    }In the bank account example, both BankAccount and SavingsAccount will have a method getBalance(). Therefore, they
    both require a account balance field. My question is since getBalance() for both classes will perform the exact same
    operation, when should I omit declaring the getBalance() method and the accountBalance field in the subclass, and
    when should I include them?
    My own thought is when we never have to instantiate a superclass object (e.g. an abstract class), then we place
    common fields in the abstract superclass and have subclasses access these fields via protected getter/setters to
    access the superclass' fields. This is the principle of reuse.
    But when you do need to instantiate a superclass and the superclass does need to maintain its own fields, then
    I would need to duplicate the accountBalance field and getBalance() method in the subclass.
    Is my thinking correct or incorrect?
    Thank you in advance for your help!

    If SavingsAccount inherit BankAccount.getBalance()...getBalance() would return BankAccount's accountBalance. This is NOT the correct result we want.Actually, I think it's precisely what you want.
    We want getBalance() to return BankAccount's accountBalance when we use a BankAccount object, and SavingsAccount's accountBalance when we use a SavingsAccount object.I seriously doubt that. I think you're confusing a BankAccount with a Customer, who can have more than one account.
    In every system I've ever seen, a SavingsAccount IS-A BankAccount - that is to say, it's a genuine subtype. Now, it may well contain other fields ('interest'?) that a normal account wouldn't, but 'balance' ain't one of them.

  • When will the Camera plug-in be updated for the Canon 70D for Elements 9?

    When will the Camera plug-in be updated for the Canon 70D for Elements 9

    Hi,
    There hasn't been an update for PSE 9 since Sept 2011 so it is unlikely to ever be updated for the 70D.
    Your options are
    1) Upgrade PSE 12 when it comes out (probably soon)
    2) Use the Canon software (DPP) that came with your camera - convert to TIF files and import those into PSE
    3) Download/Install the free Adobe DNG 8.2RC Converter to convert your CR2 files to DNG files - the DNG files can then be processed by PSE 9

  • Apple -clueless about its own software !! can anybody give me a straight answer to this ?

    APPLE - clueless about its own software !!! Can anybody please give me a straight answer to this question - how do I zero out my Apple SSD ??
    I have spoken to Apple engineers in-store and via phone support and nobody seems to know how to do it, in fact the guys at the retail store were not even aware that the option for secure erase has been disabled for macs with SSD running Lion. Now im aware that some people will say this is to protect the lifetime of the SSD, but this is irrelevant as Apple SSD's running Lion has TRIM utility. Furthermore to save people's time you cannot do it by externalling booting or by holding down C or CMD+R !
    So, has anyone got a simple method for this, it cant be impossible !
    Please help

  • Mac Mini - Screensaver starting on its own and clock is fast ...

    Hi there experts ....
    I've got a 4 month old Mac mini
    Model Identifier: Macmini3,1
    Processor Name: Intel Core 2 Duo
    Processor Speed: 2.53 GHz
    I've noticed for the past couple of months the clock is 4 minutes fast ....
    And the screeensaver is coming on by itself out of nowhere ...
    I/ve run disk repair ... Maintenance ... put screensaver to never and even disabled front row screensaver
    I've reset pram and nvram ... ANy clues ....?

    So even if you put the screensaver to never it still starts on its own?
    Also you clock runs faster by 4mins?
    I smell an OS issue. Partition your drive and install a fresh OS onto it. If it works(no problem there) then restore the partition into 1 drive. Zero out the drive and put a fresh OS in it
    **back it up first
    If the fresh OS on the new partition still fails. it could be a hardware failure.

  • I use Canon 5DMk3 for videos in A/F mode. When will Canon come out with a quality STM lens?Tad

    When will Canon come out with a quality lens with STM phase focusing for Canon 5DMk3? I shoot mostly videos. in A/F/
    The 1.2.1 firmware update didn't do it.
    Tad

    Yes, sorry. I did realize I didn't specify exactly what I shoot.
    I do a lot of car-related things. Car photoshoots, races, etc. I'd like to delve into portraits and such more upcoming too.
    The races are easy to do, so long as you have a fast camera and a good lens. Even going from my old Nikon D60 to the faster Canon 60D proved very helpful. I am also pretty good at the focus pan where you move with said object to blur the background.
    My real issue with the crop sensor cameras thus far have been the noise levels. I do a lot of shooting in low-light. But I figure a couple proper lenses a good tripod, and some time experimenting could help that.
    I do like the idea of the T5i as it's so cheap. At only $600 on the body, that would give me plenty of wiggle room to fund proper lenses. And I suppose that if I went that route, I could always just end up picking up a 7DII as my go-to when released, since the T5i will obviously have it's limitations.
    But at the same time, going right for the 70D would also be a solid choice as to it's benefits, larger sizing, etc.
    Although I'd love a 6D, it's probably better that I stay away from FF for now until I get steady pay from shoots. I know me, and I'd take myself broke buying proper lenses.
    The 60D seems like it's still a good choice, but kinda going backwards from the others. And the 7D, same thing. Although still a great camera, it seems to (at least for me) have the negatives outweigh the positives at it's price point.
    So it seems like it's been narrowed down to the T5i and the 70D.
    FYI, I don't have a ton up yet as it's been recently created, but feel free to check out my page for a couple references of what I shoot. It's below.
    Also, on Instagram, I'm "averagewhiteboy" as well. I have a Flickr Pro account too, but I don't think I've updated it since going Canon.

  • When will apple start selling unlocked iPhone 6 in the U.s

    hello
    i searched in the UK store and the Australian store and the option for the unlocked iPhone 6 is available but the devices itself is not yet but the taxes are much higher and the phone is much more expensive from the U.S store
    when will apple start selling unlocked phones in the u.s ?
    thanks

    No one knows that at this point.  In the recent past, the unlocked iPhones started out as only available in the retail Apple stores and not by on-line order.  When they will be available or how has not been announced so far.
    Keep in mind that purchasing an iPhone in another country is not a great idea since the warranty is only valid in the country of sale so if anything would go wrong there would be no service or support in another country.
