Why does my screen come up dark when I press the camera icon?

Why does my screen come up dark when I press the Camera icon?  I can neither take pictures nor look at the photos I have saved.

Doulbe tab the home key to see the task bar.  Touch and hold any of those icons until they jiggle, then delete them by touching the minus sign.   Then reboot the pad by holding the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider.
You either have another app open that is using the camera, or you just have too much stuff in memory.  The reset process should clear it up.

  • Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    Why does my PDF come out rotated when I haven't selected that?

    What you are trying to do is a process that we call “refrying a PDF file,” a process that we at Adobe most strongly discourage. There are facilities within Acrobat itself that allow you to remove objects and crop pages without having to ruin the PDF by creating PostScript and then distilling that back into PDF, a potentially very lossy process. You lose all color management, all live transparency, and could have font problems in the resultant PDF file.
    The Adobe PDF PostScript Printer Driver Instance is parameterized by joboptions set in its properties. These properties have a parameter for page rotation. If the options specify automatic page rotation, you may be getting these unexpected results on the basis of Distiller's analysis of each page and trying to second guess the orientation. You should also be aware that the PostScript generated by Acrobat (and Reader) is optimized for printing on a PostScript device, not for generation of PDF by distillation.

  • Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

    Try doing a manual reset:
    Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
    If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

    Hey Linders1987,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities! I understand that you are experiencing issues with Wi-Fi on your iPhone 5. The following resource may provide a solution:
    iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections - Apple Support
    http://support.apple.com/en-us/TS1398
    Wi-Fi disconnects or signal strength is less than expected
    Move closer to the Wi-Fi router (access point).
    Check for sources of potential interference.
    Remove any case, stand, or other accessories from your iOS device and see if signal strength improves.
    Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings including
    - previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords
    - recently used Bluetooth accessories
    - VPN and APN settings
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    You are talking to fellow users on these forums, not iTunes Support or Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
    For the Camera app, try closing it via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the iPad's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-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.
    In terms of syncing, you will need iTunes on your computer - if you haven't already downloaded it then you can do so from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
    You can conncet the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S), and use the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to sycn your content to the iPad.

    For the excel file, what app are you viewing/editing it in ? If the values are different then it may be that the app that you are using doesn't support all the formulas that are being used in the spreadsheet. Apps that 'support' excel documents include Apple's Numbers app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

  • I updated my iPod tough 4G to iOS 5 and can no longer access my camera. When I tap the camera icon it goes to a black screen. HELP?

    Camera no longer working in iOS 5 on my iPod touch 4G. I have a black screen when I tap the camera icon. I still have all my photos, but no camara. Any suggestions before I head to the Apple Genius Bar??

    A reset should help. Tap and hold the Home button and the On/Off button at the same time for approximately 10-15 seconds, until the Apple logo reappears. When the logo reappears, release both buttons and await restart.

    Logout of the app store and iTunes store: Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Go back to home screen and  reset the phone by pressing the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears then release them.
    Once phone has finished rebooting go back to  Settings>iTunes & App Store and login with your Apple ID and password again. Then open the iTunes Store app again.
