Camera Flash won't work after iOS 5 update

Okay so I had the iOS 5 beta from my friend who is a developer. My camera flash was working perfectly fine then. When I updated to the final version of iOS 5 I tried to use the flashlight and it wasn't working. I then tried taking a picture with flash on and it didn't work. It seems that the flash is completely not working. Any Suggestions?

Beta's are buggy, that's the point of the beta is to give it to people so they an file bugs.
Have you restored to the shipping iOS5 yet? Backup your data then update to iOS5 and perhaps it will be fixed.

Safari won't work after iOS update

My Safari 6.0.3 won't respond after installing this weeks iOS update.

Do you mean this OS X update to 10.8.3? iOS, for iPads/iPhones, etc hasn't been updated for two or three weeks.
For the Safari problem, have you tried resetting it? Launch Safari and from the Safari Menu>Reset Safari. tick the options and then 'reset'. Any change?
You could try re-applying the OS X update using the combo:

or re-install Safari with the standalone installer:

Camara was working before the update.
Resting the phone to factory setting restoring phone nothing seems to work

If you're expecting Apple to respond on this forum, you will have a long wait. This is a user-to-user technical support forum that is only hosted by Apple. This was made clear when you signed up. In any case, try the steps in this article to troubleshoot hardware issues (there is a camera section):

Speakers won't work after last update. When headphones are plugged in, they work. Help!!

NO ringtones work after the update. It only vibrates. What should I do?

Check the mute switch along the edge, near the external volume controls.

IPhone5 rear-facing camera and flashlight not working after iOs 7.0.3 update

This is my first time posting here so do forgive me if I leave anything out.
Problem 1
I updated my iPhone 5 to iOs 7.0.3 (on 10/22 when it released). Since then, my rear-facing camera has stopped working. When I open up the camera, it's just a black screen and I cannot take a picture or video, but the other elements on the screen are still functional: changing flash from auto/on/off, turning HDR on/off, switching from video/photo/square/pano, but still the screen remains black. When I switch to the front-facing camera though, it works fine. I can take pictures and video through that view.
Problem 2
The second problem that's happened as well is the flashlight in the control center is greyed out, can't click it at all.
Attempt to Fix
I brought my iPhone 5 to a Genius Bar. Guy took it to the back to open it up and check if there were any physical problems with the phone and camera. He came back, found nothing. Unfortunately my phone was no longer under the one-year warranty, so in order to fully replace the phone with a new or refurbished one, I would've had to dish out $200 something and I wasn't trying to do that just yet. So we decided to just wipe it clean and restore. After we did that, everything was working, the rear-facing camera, the flashlight, things were perfect. I left the Apple store, got on the train to head home. I opened up the camera to take a picture and long behold, it stopped working again. I got home and did the exact same thing the guy did, wiped my phone and restored. Everything was working again. I held my breath though... 1/2 hour later, same problems with the rear-facing camera and flashlight came back.
Just as a note, not sure if it helps, when I use third-party camera apps/photo editors, when I try to use the camera within those apps, it freezes and closes.
I don't know what else to do. It seems the only fix is restoring my phone and having the camera and flashlight work for a few minutes only to go back to the same problems. The Genius Bar didn't help. I'm not trying to give up $200 something when this is something that happened clearly because of the iOs 7.0.3 update. It was working perfectly fine before that.
Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

WORKAROUND FOUND ! Download and install "Awesome Camera" app and take a picture with that app. After 1-2 seconds of standby, it will work. Then you can go back to default Camera app which would work again.Please let me know

HT4623 Reminders won't work after iOS 6.1 update on iPhone 5?

I updated to the new iOS 6.1 update last night. Went to make a reminder through siri and i get to the point were it asks to confim. When I press confirm Siri tells me that she can't do it. I try to set a reminder manually and the app does not give me the option to add a reminder manually. Everything worked fine before the update when my iPhone 5 had the 6.0 iOS?
Any ideas on what the problem coulb be? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
GS47

The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
Standard troubleshooting is:
Re-boot the phone
Restore the phone from your backup
Restore the phone as a new device.
One of the 3 should fix the problem.

Ipod Touch 5th gen won't sync after iOS update

iPod Touch will not sync after iOS 7 update. It's stucked at "changes are being applied" and won't go past that point. Tried 5 times and got the same problem. I have the latest iTunes installed.
Any suggestions?

Try a cold reboot of your phone / iPod. I.e. hold power + home button until it reboots.
Worked for me.

Iphone 4s not working after ios update 6.1.3

I have an iphone 4s boxed, brandnew and unopened for a year not until March 2013, for a couple of days i have used it, worked excellent but after i have unlocked it through at&t and updated it to IOS 6.1.3 it went to re-activation mode again. Tried several times to activate it but no succeess. I went to an apple store to discuss the problem of the update and consequently the result it brought to my iphone4s but denied a replacement because it was passed the warranty period. I was offered a replacement (for a fee) of $200 but i refused since i believe i havent enjoyed the iphone for years, has not even dropped, water-damaged nor scratched. The manager on duty (Mary, Fairview Mall, Ontario) insisted that my iphone 4s has a growing software problem already and i just dont know of... I reiterated to her that the unit was working as brandnew just like many of my apple products i have. I havent called the apple support telephone support though. What should i do now? Please help guys. I cannot take it paying another $200 for an iphone that was practically brandnew and went useless after the update. I have a record of the at&t authorized unlocking request. Should i escalate the appeal to where? Please help.. Thanks a lot guys.

The fact that you chose to leave the device in the box for a year (a rather unintelligent decision) has no bearing on the warranty. Warranty starts from the date of the original purchase.
You can try basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide which is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).

Flash doesn't work after I updated it

I am using Firefox 34.0.5 and updated my flash player but after the update it stopped working. The videos doesn't show up. I tried disabling all add-ons and found out that Shockwave Flash 16.0 is causing the problem. What should I do to make it work again?
I don't know why but some videos work just fine and other videos doesn't show anything even a white or black screen, even though they're from the same site. When a video doesn't show up, the cursor changes from the normal cursor to "working in background" cursor rapidly.

Hey,
Did you try these typical Flash fixes?
(1) Disable hardware graphics acceleration in Firefox and in Flash
(A) In Firefox, un-check the box here and restart:
orange Firefox button or classic Tools menu > Options > Advanced > General > "Use hardware acceleration when available"
(B) In Flash, see this support article from Adobe: http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/video-playback-issues.html#main_Solve_video_playback_issues
(2) Disable protected mode (Win Vista & Win 7 & maybe Win 8)
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": Adobe Forums: https://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround
Hope it helps.

I did both of these but it still didn't work. I tried using another browser and found out that the problem only occurs in firefox.

Camera on ipad2 not working after ios7 update?

Camera not working on ipad2 after ios7 update?

AApple takes no responsibility for their updates causing harm to devices. See section 7.4 through 7.6
i see a lot of denial on this site when it comes to viruses, the same applies to apple updates messing up folks devices. Take it back to an apple store and it is likely the best you can hope for is a discount on a new ipad. Good luck. Hopefully someone here can help you with a fix.

IPhoto and Apple ID won't work after system update

I've recently updated my MacBook Air to OS X v10.9.4. iPhoto won't work as i am currently using v9.2. I've tried downloading a later version but have been advised that my Apple ID will not work on this computer. NB. I have an iPhone but have not used the Apple ID on this - to my knowledge, or another Apple ID on my system. I'm a basic level user so any advice on this would be great.
Many thanks,

Send button in Lotus Notes webmail won't work after Firefox update

I've been using Firefox to connect to my company's Lotus Notes email servers with no problems for months now. Starting this past Friday, after an update, the send buttons no longer work. I can get and view my email but cannot send anything out. Anyone know how to fix this?

Another work around: in the new message tab change the "format" from rich text to plain text... then the send button works...

Camera won't work after IOS 7 update

Ever since I updated to iOS 7 both cameras have stopped working,. I was reading up on it in a discussion and read a few promising steps to take to get my cams back working, from resets to backing up and restoring from backups after deleting all of my apps which can be deleted and suddenly my front camera works again
But still freezes up when I switch to the back camera . This seems to be directly caused by my updating to iOS 7
Can anyone tell me more about this problem, if it's common and what I can do
Thanks!!
