Lens errors are fairly common. Usually it's sand or grit interfering with the lens extension mechanism. Or the camera's been dropped with the lens extended. Or the camera has been powered on, but the lens had been blocked preventing its extension. Or the battery ran down with the lens extended ...
Here are some things that you can do to try to correct it. They only seem to work for less than 50% of the lens errors, but if the camera is out of warranty, they're worth a try.

my cannon powershotA560's flash will not work. it still takes pictures but not unless the flash is turned off. If I go to take a picture with the flash on- I hold down the button and the red light comes on like its going to take the picture but as long as i hold the button down it does not take a picture. I just want to be able to take pictures in the dark but there is no flash :(

Everything on the screen is blurry/out of focus. I dropped it and slightly separated the front/back sections of the camera, but slight enough that I could close it back together. Was going to try and take it apart and reclose it, but figured I would try you first. :o) Thanks!
