Camera and video screen is all pink and will no longer take pictures/video

Please help. My iPhone 3Gs camera and video were working just fine until today. When I open the camera app, the shot opens up pink and begins flashing and will only take a picture or video of the pink it is displaying. Does anyone have any ideas or suggestions? Thank you so much to anyone who is able to help me.

Restart, Reset and Restore, in that order. If those actions do not work, you will need to take it in for service.

  • IPod shows as camera and will not let me use as disk space. Please Help!!

    Okay, so i know that this has probably been asked before, but every similar question i read was a little different from my specific problem. Maybe someone on here can help me. :)) *crosses fingers*
    I've had my iPod Touch since summer, and I just got a new laptop for Christmas. So I want to transfer my iTunes over to my new computer, of course. I read the tutorial on Apple Support, but when I went to drag my Library over to my iPod, it was showing up in My Computer as a camera, and will not let me use it as disk space. I've also followed the steps to stop the automatic Camera pop-up when I plug in my iPod. Yes, my iPod is set up on manual, so disk use SHOULD be enabled, correct? I am positive that I also have the latest iTunes software. AND my USB ports are up to date.
    Sorry for the overly-thorough problem description, but I have read too many of the similar posts, and I know all the usual suggestions. But seriously, any help is appreciated. Thanks guys.
    -Happy New Year

    Hi,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Sorry to say that you cannot use an iPod Touch as an "external" drive, unlike the "Classic" etc. which I believe have this feature.
    To transfer your library you will have to back it up to disc(s), a different type of HD or use a network to send the files over.
    Good luck,
    Dud.

  • Video's removed from iPhone and will no longer Sync

    I have recently purchased an iPhone 3G and have been setting it up over the last few days.
    I eventually discovered that I can convert videos from my old phone to .mp4 format, added them to iTunes and sync'd with teh iPhone and was able to view them on my iPhone with full sound and colour, all good...
    However I have just tried adding some more and found that all the video's i had previously sync'd have dissappeared from my iPhone, and iTunes will no longer allow me to sync them back to the phone.
    I do not get an error message, and it appears when i drag and drop the files to the attached device, that it is ok, and then nothing happens.
    Can anyone tell me why these video's will no longer appear on my iPhone.

    Not really very helpful, was looking for some hint and tips to get round something of that nature, if indeed it is...
    However, as i stated before, the video's were transfered before, and worked, and then removed and will no longer transfer?

    Can't open pictures taken with Kodak DC290 with kdc file extension.  Camera and kodak software long gone.
    Looking for some way to convert these kdc files to jpeg or any format that can be read with photoshop elements.
    any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks

    kelly,
    If the information on this site is correct, Irfanview may open the file for you.
    .kdc Extension - List of programs that can open .kdc files
    If it works, then you can save as JPEG via Irfanview
    Irfanview is a great, free, program which you can down load.

  • ITunes removed contacts from iPhone and will no longer sync

    iTunes 10 on OS X Lion removed all my contacts from my iPhone 3G and will no longer sync them. I had about 500 contacts, I'm not about to enter them manually. Now I have no idea who is calling or texting. This is absolutely ridiculous! There is absolutely no support!

    If iTunes will not sync contacts to your iPhone4...
    Go to
    Settings
    Main, contacts etc.
    scroll down to "Contacts"
    under "contacts you see a list. Choose the menu "Default Account"
    You will see a choice between "From My Mac" and "iCloud"...select "From my Mac"
    This solution worked for me!

  • My daughter's ipod touch got hot while charging and will no longer turn on.

    My daugther's ipod touch got hot and will no longer turn on.  Is there a solution to this problem or is the ipod fried?

    I'm not sure if it's fried or not, but try rebooting the device by pressing and holding the on/off and home buttons simultaneously for about 15 seconds or so. Hopefully you will see the Apple logo.

  • TS2634 What if your iPod touch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update the web and music that is "recent"?

    My iTouch is reading that the date is in the 1800s and will no longer update my "recently purchased" songs or update websites.

    Go to Settings>General>Date & Time and correct the times/date. Also, in Settings>General>International make sure the Calendar is set to Gregorian.

    The only way you can do that is to import them into your library first, but you may have done that already.
    The easiest way to tell is to select a photo from the photostream album in iPhoto and ctrl-click on it, if it gives you the option to import it isn't in your iPhoto library, if it offers you the option to show in library it has already been imorted.

  • TS3274 ipad mini suddenly lost wi-fi and will no longer reconnect with known networks

    My ipad mini (wi-fi only) suddenly lost wi-fi connection and will no longer reconnect with known networks...
    Its done it to 2 seperate networks (home and work) which makes me think its the ipad rather than a network problem...??
    Ive tried to forget the network and then re-join but i keep getting the message "Unable to join the network"
    Any clues on how to fix??

    Hello moniciampi
    Continue with resetting the network settings on your iPad mini by going to Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings. There are some other options to test out with the steps in the article below.
