After installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4, why is my camera taking purple pictures?

Immediately after installing IOS 6 on my iphone 4 on 9/22/12, when I attempt to use any of my phone apps, everything is colored in purple tint (see attached image). This includes taking video as well. If I flip the camera to the self facing camera, the purple goes away. This only happens on the front facing camera. I've tried googling this issue and cannot find anyone else complaining about this. Any ideas???

So, now I'm starting to feel like I'm the one and only lucky SOB to have this purple issue. For anyone who reads this, some more detail. Since posting this thread, I did a full reset from my iphone and that did not resolve the issue. Then, last night I did a full system restore from itunes which took about 4 hours and that didn't solve it either.
After all this, I started thinking that perhaps there's something wrong with the lens hardware but yesterday for approx 3 full seconds, the camera was normal then there was a stutter and it went purple again. Sounds like a software issue, so I'm really baffled why a system restore wouldn't cure this. Ugh!

  • Can not sync with computer after installing IOS 8 on iPhone 5s

    I cannot sync with my computer after installing IOS 8 on iPhone 5s. In iTunes I get a dialogue box that says that the computer is not authorized (it is) I deauthorize and then authorize and it comes up again that the compeer cannot synch because it is not authorized. ???

    If it's not an authorized Apple charging cord, it may no longer work.  When I updated the iOS on my iPhone 5, it did the same thing; iOS 8 is just better at recognizing non-Apple cords.  There are a couple that are still recognized, but most no longer work.  I'd already seen it happen when I upgraded to an iPad Air -- it will definitely only accept authorized Apple cables -- so I knew what was happening.

  • After installing ios 5 my iphone is stuck in reboot with a spinning circle

    after installing ios 5 on my iphone 3gs last night it won't reboot. It shows the apple logo then just shows a white ring in the middle and it won't move like it normally does. I have put it in recovery mode, but still does the same thing. I have synced it with my mac but it says that itunes can't sync to it.

    Greetings -
    I have the same problem. It began without notice. My phone remains in a constant reboot - unless - it is plugged into the dock or charger. I have restored the phone 3 times on itunes - I have removed all personal data ( music, photos, etc.). Is there something else I can try?
    AAA.

  • After installing iOS 6, my iPhone 4S locked and I can't unlock it.

    This happened after attempting to updating to iOS 6.
    It seems to be stuck in an instruction mode. Whatever I touch a female voice tells me what the function is. E.G. trying to enter my passcode it says "Two abc, Three def, four ghi, five jkl " (Not my real passcode obviously). 
    I can't connect to iTunes as I'm prompted for a passcode on the phone, which I can't do.

    Nope.
    I have just managed to enter 2 digits of my passcode into the phone before the voiceover cut in.
    After repeated tries I managed to enter all 4 digits and teh phone activated. I then hit the home button 3 times to turn voiceover off and am now trying to re-install iOS 6. Seems to be working at this stage.

  • Faults in iPad 2 after installing iOS 6' ??? why

    After installing the new OS 6.q.1,  last week, several glitches ie Music files don't open and the app freezes, hotlinks in Mail freeze both Mail and Safari -  will reinstalling OS cure this ??.?

    No Apple employees here. Just other users like you. Many of us have had no problems at all.
    In order do this.....
    Quit all apps completely and reset the iPad. Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Reset the iPad.
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
    For the stalled downloads, try a couple of these things.
    Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
    If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
    Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
    You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again.
    You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your app preferences and device settings again.

  • Apps don't update after installing iOS 8 or iPhone 5s

    I updated to IOS 8.0.2 on iPhone 5s.  Since update, my apps will not update.  Apps awaiting update are WSJ, ESPN Sportscenter, and US Airways.

    Go to the App Store and look for the version dates. Perhaps the developers haven't updated their apps yet.

  • After installing ios 7 my iphone won't send emails, any fixes?

    I have followed the suggestions and deleted the email account and then set it back up using the same settings.  I have also tried rebooting my iphone 4s and that didn't make any change.
    It was always really slow sending emails (2-3 minutes or more), but now it won't send them at all.  I know my email works as I also use it on my laptop and I am receiving and can send emails from the same account.

    The error that comes up says "Cannot Send Email - the onnection to the outgoing server "mail.persona.ca" failed.  Additoinal Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings>Mail, Contact, Calendars"

    After installing iOS 8 update on Iphone 5C, I can't open any files in my emails. Why?

    Hello Rach Ryan
    First I would try closing the app from multitasking and then launching it again. To do that, double tap the Home button and then swipe up on the app to close it completely. If that does not work, then I would restart your iPhone.

    usually i back my IPhone with ICloud, after installing IOS 5 it asked me to restore from ITunes what i have to do to restore all my contact, applications and others?

    If your iPhone does not search for a wi-fi connection before you are asked whether you want to set it up as new phone or restore a backup from iTunes, then I guess you have the same issue as highlighted in this thread:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/19638850?ac_cid=tw123456#19638850
    iCloud back ups can only be accessed via wi-fi that's why you are not granted this option, I have the exact same issue.

  • After install iOS 8.1.2 no Bluetooth connection could be made between iphone 6  and/or ipad and/or iPhone 4s

    After install iOS 8.1.2 no Bluetooth connection could be made between iphone 6  and/or ipad and/or iPhone 4s

    The iPhone is not designed to pair with an iPad (except for personal hotspot if your cellular plan allows it) or with another iPhone. What is it that you are trying to do? There are a number of features such as Handoff, Keynote Remote, etc that require Bluetooth to be on but the devices are not paired. See Bluetooth: Why can't I pair my iPhone or iPad with my computer?

  • HT4623 why am i experiencing short battey life after installing ios 7?

    why am i experiencing short battey life with my IPad after installing ios 7 1 ?

    Try this first - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
    The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W or 12W (5W on Mini) USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (2.5W, most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
    Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
    How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery
    http://www.macblend.com/how-to-calibrate-your-mac-iphone-or-ipad-battery/
    At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.
