4s front camera wont load

my iphone 4s front camera wont load! the back camera works... but not the front. it wont even work in cam wow apps, facetime, or anything.

Try clearing out your Camera Roll.
The next would be to Restore with your backup.
If still a problem, Restore as new, i.e. without your backup and see how it runs with nothing synced or downloaded to your iPhone.

If still a problem, take it in to Apple, especially if still under warranty.

  • My ipad 4 front camera wont work

    My front camera just turns into shutter screen and wont open.
    I tried to turn off and on the ipad, but when i use the front camera. It still wont work.
    What should i do? Please help... Thanks in advnce

    If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • My front camera wont open.

    When I go to switch from my back camera (which works fine) to my front camera, It doesnt open. It just shows the closed shutter screen, and I cant get it to go away? Help? I have a iPod 5, IOS 6.0.1

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:

  • After updating to io5 my front camera wont work, have done a restore but still no good,any ideas anyone

    I have an iphone 4 and have updated it to io5, the camera on the front does not work now, it will not open the shutter, I restored it but still no joy, has any one had this before and how do I fix it please

    I am having the SAME problem. It is making me want an Android this is so FRUSTRATING! Here's my issue:
    I have an iPhone 4 with 5.1.1. It fairly recently decided to have tons of issues connecting to Wifi. The 2 places I connect to Wifi are my home and my work. At home, my phone manages to about 95% of the time find the wifi signal, but I have to go manually put in my wifi password every time I want to connect, otherwise it'll just stay on 3G. When it doesn't find the signal I have to keep refreshing it and it eventually finds it.
    At work, the wifi that EVERYONE else uses, I have the most trouble connecting to. I have to manually go into my wifi settings and find the signal. That is IF it actually finds it. About 50% of the time it just doesn't find it. Then about 40% of the time it sees it, but when I try to connect it says "Unable to join the network "SEWELL"" (that's the name of the Wifi). Then about 10% of the time I can find it and connect to it. AND then sometimes when I am finally connected it'll just kick me off in the middle of browsing and I'll go back to 3G. This happens with work and home.
    I have tried EVERY troubleshooting method. I reset the network settings, I soft reset the phone, I did a full restore and deleted everything and still it doesn't work. I reset it all the time trying to get it to work and it just does nothing.
    Any other suggestions or am I just going to have to deal with it until the Samsung Galaxy S III comes out?
    Do you think if I took it to an Apple store they would replace it and that might help (iPhone 4 probably had it for over a year)? I know other people with iPhones (3G and 4's) and theirs work fine so I don't know how it can be the Apple 5.1.1 update?
    HELP APPLE!!!!

  • My front camera lend wont open it just stays blurry and one know how to fix this? Restore didnt help tried it already

    front camera wont open it stays blurry its an ipod touch 5g

    Hey Techmeout, If a restore to new did not solve, most likely dealing with a hardware issue. Contact your Apple store or the Apple Genius Bar, set up an appointment and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issue. Then go from there.  Good luck. Cheers.

  • Just bought the new iPhone4S yesterday, and my back camera isn't working/loading up. But my front camera works fine. What's wrong? Can anyone help?

    Just bought the new iPhone4S yesterday, and my back camera isn't working/loading up. But my front camera works fine. What's wrong? Can anyone help?

    I had the same problem- go to Utilities, General, Use Side Switch To, and change it from Mute to Lock Rotation- this solved the problem for me.
    Good luck!

  • Front camera shutter wont open anymore after upgrade to iOS5.1

    i have a less than a month old ipad2...after upgrading to the iOS 5.1 the front camera shutter wont open anymore...did the reset but it didnt work.will downgrading to the 4.3.3 make it work again?? please help...

    You can't downgrade, it's not supported. Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, 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.

  • Iphone has a new battery and front camera flex cable. Wont turn on and Itunes gives me error 4014 when i try to restore

    So my iphone 5 was having very bad battery problems and apple said they charged $80 to which i was astonished by because my warrenty ended 2 weeks eailer. I thought maybe they would be generous and help me out but no so i took it upon myself to get a new battery and install it myself. I did that and it turns out i need a new front camera flex ribbon so i also bought that and installed it myself. Whe i was donre installing it my phone flashed the apple logo and went black front there. I tried connecting to itunes and it gives me error 4014. Will apple still fix my phone even though i opened it?(Im not under the warrenty anymore).

    It is unfortunate that you chose to open the device.  Apple will not touch it now.  Out of Warranty replacement is no longer an option.
    Buy a new device.

  • My front camera and flash wont work

    Basically I've tryed everything, I've restored the phone from iTunes and my front camera and flash just won't work, any help?

    If you've tried "everything" there is nothing more to try.  By "everything" does that include restoring as new?  If not, restore it as new.
    If the problem still exists, take the device to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • HT201407 during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings it took 4 hours an completed but my iphone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please

    during a update of apple my iphone 3GS crashed an now the operating system wont load up..ive tried to reset the phone to the factory settings using itunes it took 4 hours and completed but my phone still wont come on..what can i do to fix the problem? please help #

    In trying to include what information all that I could I should have specified I DON'T KNOW THAT IT WAS DEFINATELY JAILBROKEN when I took it to the apple store they told me there's no way for them to tell if it was jail broken or not. I'm only going by what ppl have told me COULD HAVE BEEN DONE TO THE PHONE. With that said the only thing I know for sure is that the apple tech at the Genius Bar told me that someone took control of my root menu in February & I've had no control of my phone since. I asked him how to regain control & how he knew his exact words were "oh that is out of our scope of capabilities here at this level & you would need an apple engineer to fix it". I said ok then how do I get an apple eng then? He laughed & said you can't!!!! To which I was furious I came home & called apple requesting to speak w/the fraud dept to file a report they said we don't have a fraud dept!! So after a 45 mn phone call again I left w/no answers.
    @TJBUSMC1973-
    I DON'T HAVE THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS TO SPEND HIRING AN ATTORNEY & Although I appreciate your suggestion I fail to how an attorney would be able to facilitate in any way since there's no suspect. I cannot prove that it's him doing it so I certainly can't pursue legal action w/no proof & no money. :'((
    Again I thank you for your advice but I don't think that will help.
    I was looking more for a TECHNICAL way to avoid this happening w/a new phone should I buy one or trying to get them out of my phone now! Such as installing some kind of software protection?? Someway to clear out the entire phone (other than factory reset which was done 10 x's w/no success, etc. if this person got in then there HAS TO BE A WAY OF GETTING HIM OUT, right????

  • I downloaded songs to my phone at xmas and when i plugged in to my laptop it wiped the phone of new purchases when i try and download them to my computer in itunes via previous purchesses it wont load the list and i keep getting error 10053 can any1 help

    Syncing shouldn't trouch you photos unless you have photos in a Photo Library album.  These would be photos that were synced to your phone from your computer.  If you do have any, you'll need to use an app like PhotoSync to transfer them to your computer prior to syncing.
    If you prefer to backup your camera roll photos prior to syncing, open iTunes and go to Preferences>Devices and check "Prevent...from syncing automatically".  Then connect your phone to your computer and import them as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083.
    Then, to minimize data loss, follow the steps in this user tip: https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141.  To follow the steps, first open iTunes and go to View>Show Sidebar.  Also, Transfer Purchases is now located in File>Devices.
