Canon PowerShot A560 Digital Camera - Page 2 Questions & Answers
No display and wont take pic
Since you are familiar with the camera I will assume that "operator error" is not a factor. It sounds like you have a camera with some serious internal issues ...possibly a bad CCD or some other firmware based malfunction. I still have my A560 and I'm pretty sure there is no updated firmware for the camera. You might try restoring the factory firmware but I believe you'd have to send the camera into a Cannon service center for that. Something else you might try is connecting it to a TV using the AV cable. Connect the camera to the composite video input of a TV. Select the proper input on your TV (AV or Composite) and fire up the camera. You should see on the TV what you would see on the back LCD screen of the camera. If not, then I would say there is a bogus CCD or firmware issues.
I would contact the seller and tell them what's going on. Many times the seller will accept a return even when they claim they won't. As long as you are civil with them most good sellers will accept a return on merchandise.
Even with absolutely fresh batteries properly
Peter,
Try using a Q-tip and some alcohol to clean the contacts inside the battery housing of the camera - it's possible there's enough build up to prevent a clean connection.
Thank you.
I can't see PREviews anymore on my Cannon
Yep, sounds like you just accidentally pressed the DISP or DISPLAY button on the back of your camera. This turns the screen on and off to save batteries (you would then use the optical viewfinder in its place). To turn the screen back on, just press the DISP button one more time with the camera on.
How do I connect the Canon Power short A 560 to MacBook Air
At first I thought the macbook air does not have an USB connector, but it has. At least one USB3 connector. That is how you connect the camera. And to get the picture transfer to work, you need the CD that came with the camera. The program CameraWindow DC is on the CD for both Windows and Macintosh.
How to get my canon A560 in postcard resolution
Press FUNC. Menu, go down to L (Recording pixels) then goto the right to the thumb nail with the mountains (Postcard) It is 2 places to the right of the default settings M3.
When you select the postcard setting you can't use the digital zoom or digital tele-converter.
Camera dropped, lens won't retract or expand
Sounds like the lens got bent out of alignment. Call Canon at 1-800-828-4040. They are really good with their support with or without warranty. You can send it in for repair or ask for the Canon loyalty Program. You trade in your broken camera and they'll give you a newer model for an incredible price.

Restore erased pictures
If you are using a memory card, take no more pics until you've recovered the photos, take the card out of the camera. This is to reduce the chance of you overwriting some of your "lost" photos. There are many good freeware photo recovery software options that are available to help you recover your photos.
This blog article reviews and outlines several of the better ones.
