Hi

When i try to take a picture with the canon 1300d eos, it doesnt want to take a picture or even save it.  is the settings maybe wrong.

Reset it.  Menu, Tools, clear all settings.  Try again outside on a nice day in P mode.

Usually, you can't take a shot because the camera thinks it has problems achieving focus (low light, lack of contrast, etc).

Find a well lighted object with good contrast and focus on it and see if you can take a picture.
