IPhone 5 often freezes when I open the camera

My iPhone 5S which is only 4 months old has had an annoying problem with freezing up every so often when I open up my camera. The screen goes black and nothing will work. The only thing I can do is switch the power off and back on. If I do not turn the phone off, then after a few minutes the phone will work fine unless you press the camera again and then the viewing screen remains black and you cannot use the camera so you have to turn the power off.
Very very annoying as this is my first switch over from Android to Apple and I'm not too impressed with this problem or the battery life!!!

Probably a software issue
Basic troubleshooting
Restart
Reset
restore
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
if after above (incl restore ) no improvement could be a hardware issue ,so take to an Apple Store genius bar

I changed my Apple ID (other email address and password) and now I can not login to my account in the iPhone iCloud. When I open the tab iCloud displayed my old Apple ID (it was in the iCloud) and asks for a password, but neither the old nor the new password does not match. What to do?

If you want to change your iCloud ID or password on your phone go to Settings>iCloud and tap Delete Account, then sign back in with your updated information. Note: this only deletes the account and any synced data from your phone, not from iCloud. Provided you are signing back into the same account and not changing accounts it will be synced back to your device when you sign back in.

Hi I have an Iphone 4 and when I open the app store, all that appears is a white screen. I can't do anything? what can I do?

Try a hard reset. Hold Power button and home button until it restarts. Hold both till the Apple logo is displayed. Do not slide power off.
If that does not work you may need to restore.

I think in the iOS 7.1 it's will be very nice if you will make system in iPhone 5s that when you open the iPhone with your finger Siri will say welcome back [name you can choose] it's will be very nice.

In the options before you click on add finger you will be able to choose your name
And if you don't want it so you will click on i don't want it
and it won't say your name

i dont know that much about exchange ( i hate it) but im wondering if this might be some administrator setting on the account

When I open the camera on my 5C the picture is inverted on my screen 180 degrees. Any fix?

When I open the camera on my 5C the picture is inverted on my screen 180 degrees. Upside down! Any fix?

Have you tried closing the Camera app via the multitasking bar and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? Double-click the home button to open the taskbar, and then swipe or drag the Camera app's screen from there up and off the top of the screen to close it, and click the home button to close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

My camera app won't work, all the buttons are grey when I open the camera

when I open my camera, all the buttons are grey so that I can't take a picture, turn on flash, etc.
I can view my pictures taken but that's it.
have restarted it numerous times, no success.
thanks for your help.

Hello there, Johnmr88.
You might want to close out all apps first and foremost:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then it might be worth attempting a restart of the iPhone, and then a reset, should that not resolve the issue.
iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
If the Camera app is still showing greyed out then you may want to try restoring the iPhone.

Hi cdpeters,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue seeing emails in the Mail app on your iPad. A good place to start with troubleshooting an issue like this is the basic troubleshooting steps in the article below.
iOS: Troubleshooting Mail
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3899
Resolution
First, try these basic troubleshooting steps:
Tap Safari and load a webpage. If you can load a webpage, then your device has Internet access. If you can't load a webpage, check your Wi-Fi connection or try a different Internet connection:
Try a different Wi-Fi connection.
If your iOS device has an active cellular data plan, tap Settings > Wi-Fi and turn off Wi-Fi.
If the affected email account is provided by your Internet provider, see if your issue is resolved while connected to your home Wi-Fi network.*
Log in to your email provider's website to make sure that the account is active and the password is correct.
Make sure your settings are correct using Mail Settings Lookup.
Restart your iOS device.
Delete the affected email account from your device.
Tap Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
Tap the affected email account.
Tap Delete Account.
Add your account again.
I hope this helps.

ITunes freezes when I open the store

Ever since I downloaded the latest iTunes, it freezes when I try to open the store. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but it didn't fix the problem (as I have found in the past usually works when I have a problem with iTunes). I have no idea why it's doing this or what I can do to fix it. I received a lot of iTunes gift cards for Christmas and would loove to be able to actually use them. Any ideas? Thanks.

EDIT: I've re-installed twice now. After re-installing iTunes froze for about 10 minutes before it opened the "Welcome to iTunes" window. It appears to be able to access store pages, just not without freezing for 10min. at a time for every single thing I enter or click (including 10min. per character I type in a text box). Any help would be appreciated.

Iphone 3gs ios4.0.2 camera is stuck at shutter when I open the camera app

My iphone 3gs camera has stopped working.
i have restored the iphone to new iphone and restarted the iphone notting has worked?
has anyone come a cross this problem on ios4.0.2 and found a solution?

Same here. It's the new iOS 4 software that new 3GS owners are affected by these glitches. I had an old 3GS and worked fine with iOS 4. The day I Replaced it with a newer 3GS (about 3 weeks ago) and now I have all these iOS 4 issues too. Hopefully 4.2 will fix these issues. I can only record like 10secs or less of videos then it will crash! Its annoying how they don't test these problems -_-'

My Illustrator CS5 freezes when I open the programme or a file

I have a MacBook Pro 5 with Mac OS X 10.6.8, I use Adobe MasterSuite CS5, although the only programs fully installed from it are Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign and Flash. I rarely use Flash, but rely on the other three heavily for work.
I opened an Illustrator file about two weeks ago and after about 30 seconds the programme just frooze, I couldn't click any of the objects in the file or even select options from the menu, nothing would happen, I quit the application and tried to open a new document, reopened Illustrator and managed to select the File menu but then it frooze again.
I've tried to open it over the last two weeks but to no avail, very reluctant to reinstall without getting some advice first. InDesign is having the exact same problem, but Photoshop is completely fine and working as good as ever. Please help, I need these programs for a graphics internship that I'm doing and doing everything in Photoshop is taking 3 times the time it takes with Illustrator and InDesign.

IPhoto freezes when i open the app, each time it is open on the same photo and when i try to swap to another photo it freezes until i force quit the app.

I have recently come back from a trip to Venice, i uploaded my photos to iPhoto to view and edit them, half way through the photos from day three of my trip it has frozen on a particular photo. I force quit the app and then re open it and it is still on the same image with the exact same problem. I am now unable to view any photos of my trip as they're all on iPhoto and i cannot access the albums because they are stuck on this one photo. I need to be able to access them by 11th March because i have a project due in about our trip and we need to include the best of our photos and at the moment i am being stopped from even looking at them. PLEASE HELP!

What version of iPhoto?
Assuming 09 or later:
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

Iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

iphone camera effects display in photo album but disappear when you open the photo itself. why is this ?

Hi Cyclosaurus,
Thank you for your reply. Sorry to bug you again but can I ask some further questions? Pls excuse my lack of knowledge on these things.
In relation to your points:
1) In the ftp publishing settings, public_html is acutal in where it says "site name", where it says "URL" I have http://www.gippmed.com. I was advised to put public_html in "site name" from my hosting. If I put anything else it publishes the entire site to a folder with that name on the server and is not viewable online?
2) I have removed the spaces in the album page name and will reupload soon. In relation to the image file names, am I correct in saying that iweb is naming them from the captions? Do you really have to use one word captions or use underscores, it looks a little odd? I have read troubleshooting articles about iweb and spaces and it also recommends similar as you are, suggesting that all page names should have underscore instead of spaces. Problem is, if for example I change the page name "About Me" to "About_Me" iweb automatically changes it in the navigation menu and this looks silly to have undescores in the Nav Menu. Is there a way around this?
Lastly, a new problem that I have never had before:
Previously, iweb would remember what I had published and only publish new site changes. Now, every time I turn my computer off and on, I open iweb and it doesn't recognise any of the previous publishing, ie it republishes the entire site.
Thank you again for your help
