Hi, can't set the date stamp on my canon ixus 65
The camera only stamps the date on the pictures when in postcard mode. When in any of the bigger image modes it won't deface your photos by scrawling a string of numbers across them. However the date and time (and a lot more) are stored with every image in its EXIF data. If you want this printed, please consult the documentation for whatever program you're using to print your photos. Depending on the program and printer, you may print this information on the image, in the margins, or on the back.
Lens error Help please
The Lens Error usually means the lens has sand or another obstruction stopping it from retracting.
Lens wont close.
A lens error on these can happen after a drop as you said had happened. It's best to have it go into a service center, they can service the camera and replace the broken part and have you your camera working perfectly again. The one that many people go with for the Canon Powershots is: www.camerasandparts.com They are not much at all and they do excellent work. They're about half the price of what Canon wants and they include all of the service, parts and everything else. If you need help with it, they'd be the place. Good luck with the problem.
I lost my user manual
Canon can send you one direct, just contact them online and they'll help you, They are a large company and look after their consumers, my friend had a similar problem and within days received the missing manual for his camera
Why does display read MEMORY CARD ERROR CARD IS
There are several possible causes for "memory card locked", "memory card error", or "no memory card". The most common cause is having the tiny slide switch on the side of the card in the wrong position. The second most common is trying to use a 4GB or higher SDHC card with an older camera made before SDHC format came out. There are also other common causes if the above didn't help, with troubleshooting steps for this problem
listed here.
Lens error restart
Hi
What you are seeing is a generic message that means there is
some sort of problem with the lens, it could happen in many different
ways such as sand or dirt in the lens gears.
A couple solutions would be to either buy a defective camera online and
make one good camera from the two if you can do that sort of thing
yourself, or secondly have it repaired by somebody.
Don't bother
trying to send the camera to Canon if it is out or warranty (though you can call them and verify
what I'm about to say) because they will want $150+ to do the repair
for you. Parts are not cheap to buy from them.
I know of
one very affordable digital camera repair business... because I own it.
The name is Darntoothysam, feel free to check us out, we are on that
big auction website also (I don't plug their name for free), our seller
ID is 'darntoothysam'. If you Google "darntoothysam" you will find us.
We
have your repair listed as a package in our store for about $70. This
covers a new lens, and return shipping of your camera! We even give a
45 day warranty on parts and labor. If you think you can use us then
please check us out, even if you need to ask more questions then please
feel free to contact me.
Hope this helps,
Thomas

Card proteck
SD and SDHC cards have a slide switch along one edge. The position farthest from the metal contacts locks the card, protecting it from writes. The position nearest the contacts unlocks the card.
