IPhone 4 camera and photo application not working!!

My iphone 4 camera and photo applications do not work anymore. When I tried to take a picture, the camera froze. I turned off my phone and when i turned it back on, the app will load, but when i tap to take the picture it returns to the home screen. The picture library application does the same thing. I try to load my picture library and when I tap to open it, it returns to the home screen.
I have tried turning it off and on multiple times and also turned it off for an extended period of time and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions on what the problem could be or possible ways to fix this would be greatly appreciated.

Tap Settings App>General>Reset, near bottom of list>Reset All Settings. If this does not help you could try a Restore with iTunes, and when asked at end Set Up as New. If this does not help and you have Warranty or AppleCare Coverage take iPhone to Apple for resolution.

Camera and photo import not working after update

-Reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button until the Apple logo comes back
-Delete the photo cache: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1314

Nokia N86 Photos corrupt and Photo App not working

My photo's seem to be getting corrupted after I have taken them and I don't know why. I can copy them on to my computer but when I go into the photo's app they were broken images but I can't find them via file manager. Then I was unable to get into the photo app at all. It just wouldn't open.

Hi varunreddy444,
Welcome to Nokia discussions board!
You can in fact reinstall an update that you have installed on your device. Just connect your phone to Nokia Suite on your PC and go to software updates and "reinstall".
If the issue persists, please reset your device. First of all back up all contents: Options > Back up on Nokia Suite. Then type *#7370# on your phone's keypad. When prompted, enter lock code 12345 which is by default, or the code you have changed it to. You will then be able to access social apps and Nokia Store again.
Let us know how you get on and feel free to post any other questions you may have.

CAMERA and PHOTO LIBRARY NOT WORKING ON 3GS

Camera option frozen wont let me take pictures. Also when viewing library it wont playback video or show full rez pics. *** apple ?

I'm having a similar problem. I can usually get one shot off but after that the autofocus works fine. I can push the home button to quit but nothing else works. No shutter, camera roll button, or switch to video.
If I press home and then back into the cam it works again for 1 or 2 shots but thats it.

I would recommend first doing a PRAM reset. You can find instructions for that in https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3603.
Please let us know if that works or not, there are several other things you can try.

Camera and Photos app keeps crashing!!!

I had no problems last week until yesterday...i even did a clean restore but still the camera and photos app tend to crash
it keeps stating "Please Wait" Updating Library...
and the bar reaches up to about 30% loading and then crashes....anybody else having these problems on their 3gs?

This means the answer is no - a clean restore does not mean you restored your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup. If there is a problem with your iPhone's backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem.
All photos and/or video in your iPhone's Camera Roll can and should be imported by your computer as with any other digital camera. Not a good idea to depend on your iPhone and your iPhone's backup alone for this data in the event your iPhone is lost or stolen and it is not replaced with another iPhone, or there is a hardware problem with your iPhone.
I always import all photos and videos captured by my iPhone with my computer ASAP as with any other digital camera and as with any other digital camera, I delete the photos and videos from the camera after the import process is complete. This also helps to keep the iPhone's backup time to a minimum, provides me a copy of this data on my computer for viewing along with including this data with my computer's backup along with all other important data, and if I want any of the imported photos and videos available on my iPhone for viewing, I can transfer the photos and videos from my computer to my iPhone via the iTunes sync process as with any other photos/video.
Try importing the photos/videos from your iPhone's Camera Roll followed by deleting the photos/videos from the Camera Roll after the import process is complete. If no change after doing so, restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.

Camera and flashlight does not work

My camera and flashlight will not work after the ios 7 upgrade. I have rebootd and completely wiped out my iPhone and still no camera or flashlight. I have seen where others are having the same problem but no answers.

I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

Can't access photos in camera roll - camera and photo app crashes

Have iphone 4 with iOS 5.0. Took pictures but now I can't access any photo in the Camera Roll. When I now try to take a picture, Camera app crashes. If I try to access the Camera Roll via Photo App, it too crashes. Can't see the photos from iTunes either. Shows it as unknown data. Is there anyway to rebuild the photo library or remove a corrupted photo since I think that is the problem. Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks to Steve Kehlet who posted the solution that helped me and saved my day, https://discussions.apple.com/message/16405821#16405821

TS1702 facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall it 3 times but no success

facebook and facetime app not working on my ipad3,ihave reinstall facebook app 3 times but no success and fbapi error domain occurs,facebook works properly on safari

Ok, this is what I figured out after 4 hours of testing. Restoring as a new device didn't help for me. Also hard reset, re-installs, unchecking and checking all notification options did not help. I installed facebook messenger but also this program did not have notifications (all my other notifications work.....)
As my wife deactivated her account I made up a new test account and logged in on my Iphone 4S. Surprisingly this new account had no notification problem at all. The problem is I had been testing with messages all along (and not with reactions on wall posts). It now turns out that all works fine on my original account except for notifications of private messages (or you can call them chat messages). They will simply not work on my original account but work perfectly on my new test account.
The only difference between the test account and the original acount is that I a have an active user account (FB is doing some testing with acttive users so that they receive lesse indicidual mails by gving those users the option (a check box) to receive overview mails) . See also http://socialsunil.com/facebooks-summary-email-feature-for-active-users/. Could this be the reason I do not receive private message notofications?
I do not know but I definitely know this is an account problem and not an hardware or software problem. So to all of you try to log in with a different or test account to corner the problem. Please react on this post if you have a solution.

Why won't the Camera and Photos apps work? I can't access my photos or take new ones.

I can no longer take new photos, or access my camera roll or photo stream from within the camera or photos apps.
Several days ago I took an HDR photo and the phone became unresponsive on the "saving" dialog with the progress loop rolling. After 15 minutes, and multiple attempts at getting it un-hung, I forced a restart of the phone. Since then, whenever I take a picture, the app disappears and drops me on the home screen right after the "iris" graphic clicks on the screen. The same app crash happens when I simply try to look at previously saved pictures in either the camera or photos apps. Since then I have synched the phone, and performed a factory reset, and neither has fixed the problem. Has anyone else experienced this? How do I get use of my camera back?

I'm having the same problem, but am traveling for business right now so all I can do is restart the phone. I don't live near an Apple store either, so I don't know how I'll get it fixed. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Photos app not working with photoshop.

Photos app not allowing me to add photos to photoshop. Anyone else have this problem? I can add photos from my home screen but not directly from photos app. iPhoto allowed me to drag and drop them into photoshop but not the new photos app. Any suggestions?

Everyone has this problem. Apparently developers have to write extensions to hook into the new app. http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html is the place for feature requests and feedback
