Sounds like a possibly bad card. Try a regular card. BTW, Canon does not provide support for 3rd party products.

Canon doesn't make cards, do they? Is an EyeFi card more of a 3rd-party product than a Lexar or Sandisk card?

I'm not aware of any memory cards on the market under the Canon brand name. In fact, Canon doesn't even include a memory card with their DSLR cameras. Canon leaves the selection of brand and memory capacity up to the consumer.

Bob, EYEFI is a 3rd party card for wirelessly transmitting images from my camera to my iPad, iPhone iMac . It has functioned well over the years. Just quit transmitting, although still works well a a SD card. Canon support thinks it is a bad setting in the camera. EYEFI replaced the card when it stopped working,but still doe not connect

Yeah, I know what an EyeFi card is. And based on my overall knowledge of WiFi, which is (or at least was) considerable, I'm a bit surprised that they work at all.

But my point was that since Canon apparently doesn't make cards, all cards used in their cameras are, by definition, third-party. And since a digital camera doesn't work without a card in it, Canon has to ensure that third-party cards see a consistent, reliable interface. So as long as an EyeFi card doesn't make unrealistic assumptions about a camera's functionality, Canon presumably has to support it as it does any other card.

Canon is not obligated to support any manufacturer's memory card. Canon supports a communication standard for the memory card slot, which the memory card manufacturers' products also support.

To the OP:

As far as Wi-Fi goes, support for those products is not clear. There seems to have been an accommodation for one, or more, brand of card in a handful of Canon products. The following is from a Rebel T5 manual, which is typical for most Canon Gear.

Canon does not guarantee that the cards' Wi-Fi functionality will work. Cards can, and do, eventually fail. You say that you have gotten years worth of use form a single card. You got your money's worth, I'd say.

[EDIT] Just to be absolutely clear. The memory card slot in the cameras is designed to conform to an international standard. That standard DOES NOT INCLUDE Wi-Fi functionality, which is why Canon cannot officially support Eye-Fi cards.

I repeat, try using a regular card. You need to first determine whether or not the camera is working properly without the EYE-FI card.

both the old and new EYEFI cards continue to function satisfactory
and images are stored normally. They do not transmit wirelessly as they should. That is my problem

Have you tried resetting the camera? Your preconceptions are prohibiting [you] from considering the problem objectively.

Last call, have you tried a regular card, yet? If not, then when? If you think there is something wrong with the camera, then prove it.

Are you sure you have EyeFi enabled?

All the camera does is be sure not to shut off while images are being transfered. It does not control the EyeFi card. Are you sure the card is enabled correctly in the EyeFi desktop app?

Mobi card

Re: canon eos rebel t3 no longer connects to eyefi mobi card

yes, mobi card

I'm at a loss. My Mobi Pro uploads to my iPad just fine.

I really do not think its a camera issue since all the camera setting does is keep camera from shutting off while EyeFi is sending.

I tested it with my 1D Mark IV and it works fine when I enable Power Off to never.

If you are trying to upload to PC it must be a WiFi issue or a bad card.
