It sounds like the lens isn't properly compatible with your camera which can be common on third party lenses. You can either set the lense and the camera to manual focus and focus the images by hand or sell the lens and find one that works in auto mode with your camera.

Err 01....communication between lens and camera is faulty.Please clean the lens contact...this is the error message...please say a solution..

The contacts are the little gold coloured metal squares that touch between your lens and the body. Clean them with isopropyl alcohol (moistened glasses wipes work well) and see how you go.

I have a Canon EOS Rebel XT purchased in 2006. I keep seeing the message error 99 repeated over and over Thank you Kim Atkins

If I remember correctly, this message is caused by a loss of communication between the camera body and the lens.
It could be dirt related, or even wear related. Some are not !

There are quite a few discussions about this on the net.
I suggest reading some of the entries.

Welcome to Fixya
Err 99 could mean several different things, such as... Memory Card, Lens or Lens contacts....

Here's what you can try:
Remove the memory card an enable "shooting with out memory card" and see if you still get the error. If it works your memory card is bad. Try another lens if you can. Clean the lens contacts with a pencil eraser (be careful not to get eraser dust in the camera body or in the lens). Worst case scenario is, Err 99 could be related to the shutter failing which would mean a trip to Canon.
Thank you

HI. Every I attempt to take a picture with my cam, I get a "Error 01" message. Please advise. Thank you

Err 01: LENS COMMUNICATION DESCRIPTION: This error occurs in the following conditions: When electronic communication with the lens cannot be established, after the EOS D300D is powered ON or when the shutter button is pressed halfway. When the lens diaphragm cannot be controlled during shutter release.

REMEDIAL MEASURE: Clean the electronic contacts on the lens with a clean, soft, dry cloth and check the mount interface switch on the body's lens mount for dirt or other damage. If this does not solve the problem, try another Canon EF lens or have the EOS EOS D300D examined by a qualified service technician. This error is similar to Error 84 on the D30.

rate me on this one...

thanks!

What's causing my Canon Rebel XT EOS to write files into separate folders - and how do I fix it? My Canon Rebel XT EOS is writing each photo to its own folder instead of grouping by 100s as it used to. I then have to manually erase each one, too - can't delete them all at once once I've transferred them to my laptop. Any suggestions?
