Camera Button just stopped working

Very strange ... has been flawless since September. Starting today, when I push the Camera Button, it no longer vibrates and starts my camera APP. After I manually select the Camera App from my App drawer, the button works fine to take the picture... I've rebooted. I've pulled the battery.
Any ideas??

I press it a looong time - much more than "usual". Anyway, this is very bazaar .... I went thru the pain of uninstalling any and all APPS that I recently installed over the last week - including LPP which was a total pain. 1 by 1 uninstalling, rebooting, testing camera ... It suddenly worked after an uninstall of 1 particular APP ... so I rebooted again, just to verify. It failed to respond again to pressing the button .. Rebooted again, didn't install anything, tested - it worked this time .. So honestly, I can't say any particular APP is causing this ... I reinstalled the APPS that I had uninstalled - and it is currently working .. So now am nearly convinced this intermittent bug was introduced with the latest OS update ... ugh ... It worked perfectly -- 100% of the time prior to this update.
Anyone else experiencing this ?
I've have the phone for over a month (yep, folks...past my 30 days. I'm keeping the Droid X!) It came with 2.2 (and I went through the latest update with no probs - knock wood), and I've always had to hold the camera button down for a few seconds. Thought it was inherent to the phone.

If you are unable to restore your iPhone with iTunes without having to enter the passcode, you will not be able to update your iPhone's backup. You will need to place the iPhone into recovery mode in order to restore the iPhone with iTunes and you can restore from the most recent backup available.

4th gen. nano's buttons just stopped working

I have a nearly new 4th generation ipod that just stopped working in certain respect. It charges, its recognized by the computer and syncs just fine.
The only issue is, my buttons do not work. I keep it in extraordinary shape-and too be honest I'm a little furious that its committing suicide because i treat it so well.
I've restored, reset and still no solution. Which by the way is a twist in the story- the buttons work in order to reset the ipod but do not work to actually use the **** thing.
HELP

my buttons work fine its just when I try to scroll it seems to stick or just not go as fast as it should, im ****** to. i want to know if this is fixable and covered in my warranty, which is about to expire.

On my nano 2nd gen, my center/select button just stopped working. all other buttons work.

on my 2nd gen nano, I added an audiobook yesterday. now the center /select button just quit working. now all i have is just the main menu. everthing downloaded music & audiobook.

I've been trying to fix a 1st Gen 1GB Nano for the past two days for a coworker and I have to say that with all the digging I have done (around 10 hours at this point) I have yet to find a solution to this matter.
It's become clear that something is happening with the new updates that seem to be killing off a increasing number of iPod's yet you'll find no fix here.
You will however hear many, many, many times over to do the 5R's. And you can do that many, many, many times and you will return to the same problem every time.
It's not just a problem with iTunes/iPod on XP as I can confirm I have had this problem on OS X as well.
Apple needs to get their act together and start offering some answers to customers questions. I shouldn't have to pay or take a trip to a not so local store just to get product I purchased from the company to work.
I find myself nervous each and every time my Mac tells me it has updates because I just have to ask myself what this update is going to break.
Will my iPod play after this update? Will iTunes work after this update. Oh look, my iSight doesn't work anymore after the OS X update (I finally fixed that), and now I see that some Intel iMacs are having wireless issues as well.
I'm growing more and more frustrated each time I see another person having a problem but only see the same answers (that don't work) offered. If it wasn't for end user support there would be no support at all.

Home Button just stopped working

Hi new to the website, had the phone over 15months now, suddenly for no reason the homebutton stopped working. Means i have to shutdown and turn it back on to change apps and can't do a restart as the phone doesnt know the homebutton is there!
Any reason for this or anything i can do? getting very annoying now!
any help would be great cheers

Is this is due to a hardware failure, nothing provided here will resolve it.
Since you can't do an iPhone reset and there is no change after powering your iPhone off and on, the next step is restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup first and if no change, restoring with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup.
If no change after these two steps, more than likely your iPhone has a hardware failure. If no longer under warranty - you didn't purchase the AppleCare extended warranty which extends the standard one year warranty by an additional year, Apple offers an out of warranty or not covered under the warranty "repair" price, which pays for an exchange at a discounted price off the full/non-subsidized retail sales price. The cost is $199 plus tax, includes a 90 day warranty, and does not require signing a new two year contract with AT&T.

I got my iPhone 4 in October, and the lock button just stopped working.

I have never dropped my phone, and I keep it in its case. The lock button won't press down anymore, and I haven't had my phone long. I was wondering if there is any way Apple could fix this before I drive to the store. Thank you.

My rear camera will not focus on my iPhone 6plus, I updated to 8.2 today to see if it fixed it but it didn't, what is the reason for my camera to just stop working?

My camera doesn't focus anymore, I didn't drop it or get it wet either. The front camera still works like it should. I even updated my phone to 8.2 today and still it didn't fix the problem.

Hello Jeremy76504,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having an issue with the camera on your iPhone not focusing as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Your photos are blurred or out of focus
If your photos are blurred, out of focus, or have dark spots, try these steps:
Make sure that the camera lens is clean. If you need to clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
With iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization. If you have a metallic case or magnetic lens attachment, try taking a picture without it. Then compare the quality.
Adjust the focus by tapping on the person or object in the preview screen. You’ll see the screen pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as the camera adjusts. In photo mode, try to stay steady when adjusting the focus. If you move too far in any direction, the camera will automatically refocus to the center. In video mode, you can adjust the focus before you begin recording.
If the color seems too bright, or you see double-exposures of moving objects, make sure that HDR is set to Auto or Off. Tap HDR at the top of the screen to choose a different setting.
Have a great day,
Joe

Does anyone know why my command button just stopped working?

No idea what to do, or what happened and need help!

Your Command key may have been Unmapped (Meaning the binding was removed).
Go to system preferences
Then click Keyboard
Then click modifier keys on the bottom right
Then make sure your command Keye is binding to command like this.

Ipad4 front camera just stopped working

My Ipad 4 camera has just stopped working; the rear camera works fine but when you toggle across the whole thing locks?
three weeks out of warranty; feels like an Apple 'frig' to me!

Hi Brendan
Unfortunately that doesn't work; and had already done all the guidance and also tried full resets from the settings as well.
The rear camera works fine but when you toggle to the front facing camera it blurs the previous rear facing image and then effectively locks the screen and doesn't allow you to toggle back to the rear camera or move between photo/video/square. Even when you close the application it then reboots into a front screen black image which you can only get out of by rebooting the iPad.
As I bought this from Apple as a refurbished model and it's 12 months and 3 weeks old which means from an Aplle perspective its out of warranty and any kind of support assistance. It seems the only way I can get support is to spend £25 to get someone from Appleto talk to me.
The guidance from numerous facebook contributors suggest is it would be wiser to spend the £25 pursuing Apple for a resolution on the HM Courts Website 'Money Claim Online' as under the UK Sale & Supply of Goods act its reasonable to expect it to continue to work after less than 13 months usage.

The hold button and volume buttons have stopped working on my iTouch 4. How can I fix it?

I've only had it for about 6 months. It's never been dropped or abused in any way. All of the sudden, the buttons just stopped working. How can I fix it? Please help!!

The issue with the battery is a problem. The last battery I purchased was at the end of September, so it is NOT old. I would think that a battery would last longer than 6 months, considering the original one lasted up until that point. Granted it would not hold as much of a charge, but it still worked at least. So, at this point, I would think it would be a problem with the laptop and not the battery. I have asked a few friends of mine, who are IT professionals and they said that it is probably an issue with the internal power supply. I've also tried replacing the AC adapter and that did not work either. As you said, you get what you pay for. Since I paid a good price for this laptop I would think it would last longer than it has. The other 2 I have do not have this issue. The DV5215us is on it's second battery, which is reasonable, and it does not have this charging problem. The tx1115nr also does not have this problem and is still on its original battery. One would think that since the earlier generations of product would have more problems than the latter, but I guess that is not the case.
Like I stated eariler I am rough on my laptops and I should probably look at ones that are built more rigid.

Try closing the Camera/Skype app:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold down the Camera/Skype app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider
