Camera app (back + flash) doesn't work

Hey to all of you,
for one day now my back camera doesn't work anymore. The screen is just black. The front camera works normally. I couldn't choose the flash light app either in the swipe up menue. I just updatet my software to the newest one. The phone didn't fall down or anything similar.
Is there anything you can help me with? Thanks in advance for your help. I miss the camera already!
Kind regards,
Julius

FIX FOR REAR CAMERA AND FLASHLIGHT!!!
I also had the same flash and rear camera problems as everyone else but I figured it was a software problem.
To fix the flash/flashlight, simply download the flashlight app. The one everyone used before iOS 7. The flash should work immediately.
To fix the rear camera go to Settings > General > Restrictions. Enable restrictions and turn the Camera off, then take the restriction off. Check your camera, it should work immediately.
Hope this answers a lot of questions and saves a bunch of money due to Apple's failures.
Cheers,
Tim

    I bought an App last month, doesn't work. consulted the manufacture they sent me to iTunes for refund, reported the problem to iTunes, they sending me back to Manufacturer. Can someone please assist me on this, I need my refund for this non functional App. BSSoft and iTunes Stores do something here, when I go back to report it again, I get an error message stating "...this problem has been reported or too old to report..."

    Debit card? Are you sure?

    We had the same problem, but figure out the solution.
    You MUST have at least 1 song added to your ITUNE!  After you add a free song, then everything else should work as normal!
    Hope this helps!

    You don't swipe but actually press, hold and push up.

  • IPhone 4s glitches, is cracked, and camera flash doesn't work. What is the cost to exchange for a new one?

    Front screen of my iPhone 4s is cracked, it freezes/lags, camera flash doesn't work, and every time you press a bit harder on the front screen red and grey vertical lines appear. I have had it for more than a year now, so how much will it cost for me to replace it?

    These prices are for the U.S.
    Out-of-Warranty Service
    If you own an iPhone that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will service your iPhone for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below.
    iPhone model          Out-of-Warranty Service
    iPhone 5          $229
    iPhone 4S          $199
    iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS,
    iPhone 3G, Original iPhone          $149
    A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in U.S. dollars and are subject to local tax.
    When setting up out-of-warranty service, Apple will request credit card pre-authorization for the maximum service fee listed above.  This amount will be deducted from your credit limit. The final service fee we charge will be determined during testing and may be less than the service fee listed above.
    Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPhone that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service.
    Apple reserves the right to determine whether or not your iPhone is eligible for Out-of-Warranty service. iPhones that are repaired or replaced have a 90-day limited hardware warranty or assume the remainder of your standard warranty or AppleCare service contract coverage, whichever is longer.

  • I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore...

    I have an Iphone 3GS and the app for Facebook doesn't work anymore since last update made yesterday.
    How can I restore it without the last update?
    Or, what can I do to have the Facebook back again on my mobile?
    Thank you for your help.

    Hi Ricoco,
    I too had exact issue what you were experienced, then I went to Apple autorised service center and submitted my earpods, their it worked with all versions of Apple iphones, but it didn't worked on my 3gs. The service technician suggested for OS  upgrade.Then I came home and I took the backup and upgraded 5.1 to 6.1 as he suggested, also it didn't worked. I was totally frustated and suddenly I got an idea!. What a funny thing here is, a safety pin resolved my issue, I took out all dust which was there in the jack hole. Then I check my earpods, it was amazing you know..MY EAR PODS WORKED!.
    If you still have this issue, I hope this will help you.

  • I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped

    I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped I went into the camera app and tried to see if it would flash when I took a picture but I saw it light very faintly and hasn't done lot up since. Should I get the led replaced?

    First, try bringing up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen.  Turn on the flashlight by tapping the icon in the lower left.  Does the flashlight work?  If not, perhaps you have a hardware issue.
    If it works, check the top of the screen when you open the Camera app to make sure you have the flash on.

  • Flash doesn't work and work with another browser!!

    Flash doesn't work and work with another browser!!.
    The message is " An error occurred, please try again later" just with youtube. Other sites work. Another browser works with youtube!!

    Whay do you mean "difficult with the camer?"
    Two things that might help. Reset all your settings and reset the phone.  Use the Settings app to reset all settings. Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings  Then reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that helps.

  • Can I get refund for in-app purchase that doesn't work?

    I bought a "no ads" in-app purchase for a game. At first the ads were removed. After a few software updates, the ads come back.
    When I asked for a refund, apple refers me to the developer's web site. When I go to the web site, there is no way to ask for support.
    Have you ever paid for an in-app purchase that doesn't work? What is the recourse?

    If you haven't gotten a refund from iTunes Store before, you might be able to. Get in contact with support to see:

  • After instaling mavericks  terminal, preview, app store, etc,  doesn't work anymore

    after instaling mavericks the terminal, preview, app store, etc,  doesn't work anymore...
    What have to do to solve this problem?

    You ran a defective third-party "utility" such as "CleanMyMac" that purports to "clean up" "junk" files. What it really does is to corrupt the operating system.
    The first thing you need to do is remove that software, if you know what it is, according to the developer's instructions. Never install it, or anything like it, again. Then see below.
    If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data, then reinstall the OS. You don't need to erase the startup volume, and you won't need the backup unless something goes wrong. If the system was upgraded from an older version of OS X, you may need the Apple ID and password you used.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    If you installed the Java runtime distributed by Apple and still need it, you'll have to reinstall it. The same goes for Xcode.

  • IPhone 5 torch and flash doesn't work

    iPhone 5 torch and flash doesn't work? How can I activate?

    The flash is activated as follows:
    When you are in camera mode, and the camera is open about to take a photo, you will see an elliptical button in the upper left with a flash-like sign.  Press that button and you will find it has three settings: Auto, On, and Off.
    Choose one.
    I don't know what you mean by "torch".

  • Flash doesn't work in Firefox 13

    Installed Firefox 13 yesterday. Now flash doesn't work. Have done all the supposed fixes to no avail. Have uninstalled and reinstalled flash. I'm at my wits end with this issue. I'm a web designer who uses flash in a number of my sites. VERY IRRITATING when my sites don't display properly. Anyone have a solution other than the pat Mozilla "fixes"?

    I received a PM from '''CheckMate''' about this thread. Since this is something that I think should be discussed openly I'll reply here.
    The ActiveX plugin (npmozax.dll) issue is now fixed via the Mozilla blocklist, which automatically disables it. For some background on the ActiveX plugin issue, see [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708425 Blocking the old ActiveX plugin] in the contributor's forum thread.
    The Flash 11.3 Firefox protected mode problem is a separate issue and one related bug is [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=747683 747683] So, if you did have the ActiveX plugin installed and it is now disabled, AND you have Flash 11.3 installed, then the issue is no longer the ActiveX plugin.
    If the problem is Flash 11.3 protected mode (or other issues with Flash 11.3) it's not a good idea to suggest downgrading to 11.2.202.235. The reason why uninstalling Flash and going to a page that requires Flash installs an older version is because the Plugin Finder Service hasn't been updated yet! This is from http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Installing_Flash_on_Windows <br>
    '''Quote:'''<br>
    ''If the Flash plugin is not installed and you visit a page that has Flash content that requires the plugin, the Plug-in Finder Service can download and install Flash for you (see [https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Installing+the+Flash+plugin Installing the Flash plugin (Firefox Support)] for more information). If you want to try this method and Flash is already installed, you can [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Uninstalling_Flash uninstall Flash] and then visit [http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ Adobe's Flash test page] to launch the Plugin Finder Service ; however, it may offer you an outdated version.''
    The alternative (disabling Flash 11.3 protected mode by editing an obscure file) is not good either. I don't know what to suggest in those cases. I think it would be a good idea if you could bring this up in the SUMO Community Discussions forum. There's already a topic started on Flash 11.3 issues, here:
    *https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/708430 Flash 11.3 issues (was: flash 11.3 released)
    Here is your original message, for reference:
    ''Hi, Alice- You locked the thread on the Adobe Flash Plugin update 11.300.257 not working question but you really shouldn't have for the following reasons. First, although I too found today that the Active X has been blocked as of June 7, the problem persists and the instruction is to contact the manufacturer. How about contacting Adobe and straightening this out on the Developer level instead of closing the thread because there's another temporary but much simpler solution that I found. Second, the instructions on how to disable Protected Mode are nuts. I'm pretty advanced, but my common sensed tells me this is too complicated to bother with and shouldn't be necessary and you yourself say this isn't a permanent fix. Third, I found a much simpler solution, at least until this bug is fixed. Completely uninstall the Plugin from the Add and Remove Programs list. Then, when you try to access any video on YouTube which uses the Plugin, Firefox reports that it needs an additional Plugin to play the video (look specifically for the FF blue plugin icon). When you click on it, it automatically downloads the PREVIOUS VERSION, 11.2.202.235 which works perfectly. But if you click on the warning below it that Adobe Flash is needed, the buggy 11.3.300.257 version will be installed again! This has to be fixed by the Developers. Until it is, the fix is simply to roll back the faulty update, which could have also been done with a restore point but I wanted to find the cause. FF apparently knows automatically that this plugin is faulty and installs the previous version, but the other instruction is contradictory and installs the 11.3.300.257 Nice!?!? ''

  • I push the cloud botton on the appstore to return the past purchased apps but it doesn't work.why?

    i push the cloud botton on the appstore to return the past purchased apps but it doesn't work.why?

    Oh gosh, this is ancient history for me.
    First, I remember some sort of third party boot enabler being required to install OSX on some G3s.  Not sure if it included iBook. http://eshop.macsales.com/OSXCenter/XPostFacto/Framework.cfm?page=XPostFacto.htm l
    Second, which exact set of installer discs?  They have to be black colored retail discs, not grey ones which came with a specific model Mac and will only boot that model.
    What are the exact specifications of the computer?  Does it have sufficient RAM?  You're asking a lot for a G3 to run Tiger.
