I simply returned the camera to Best Buy and asked for another one after describing the problems I had with it. I have not had any issues with the replacement camera....
Batteries can be bad or installed improperly. If you know someone with a digital camera that has an lcd display, point the remote at the camera while someone is looking at the camera's image in real time. Infrared will appear as white light to the camera's CCD "eye". Cool trick.
Remember, IR is line of sight. Make sure nothing is blocking the path between the remote and the TV. Also IR remotes and fluorescent lighting doesn't mix.
Before anything else.... you must examine first if your card is not damage, How? Try to test it in the memory card readers or other camera that fit the same memory cards. Some other cards do have lock option in the jacket of the card. Try to unlock it. After doing so reformat the memory card in to your cam.
Other option...... Some other cam do have internal memory, if you have the same, configured it out.
Some cameras you need to turn on after they are hooked up to the computer for the computer to notice them. Click on my computer then look for something that says removable drive device and double click on it. Windows has a pic viewer. If this does not work, then you need the specific software for your camera that you can download for free from their website.
Apparently often related to a lens motor malfunction. My old 4300 just gave this error for the first time today. The lens extended but made a whirring noise before the message popped up. Nothing I tried would fix it - but after I drove home it worked fine again.
I had a similar problem over a year ago after the camera fell out of my backpack (it was in its own bag but not well padded). When I used it the lens stuck and refused to retract, but I don't recall a "System Error" message. After a few tries, the lens went in and it's been fine since, until today.
Make sure there's nothing (dust, dirt) stuck in the lens barrels. Otherwise, just keep turning it on and off and hope it works.
Sounds like the card is defective or inferior. Some Asian cards have been known to be relabelled higher than their actual size. [ie 256MB marked as 512MB fraud scam] Suggest trying the original card again - if it works them probably not the camera. A Canon A560 should definitely accept 2GB [at least] 1-2 GB cards should be accepted by almost all big brand digital cameras. Cards OVER 2 gigabytes [ie 4GB and up] CAN be a problem for older cameras that weren't designed to access the higher addresses needed in larger cards. Most of the major brands can now do this.
