    After tesing in a new account, if the problem is still there, try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account.  Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don't do them all at once.

  • Camera function not working when iphone is locked!!

    I recently upgraded my iphone 3GS to the IOS 5.1 however i have noticed that now i am unable to use the camera whilst my phone is locked.
    I can use the button but the screen kind of jumps up, like when you double click the home button, to reveal the bottom part of the camera, the shutter and camera/video camera slide, but then the locked page comes back down to hide the camera. Also the function button isnt properly formed, i have the camera but instead of being in a box just the top and bottom lines are shown.
    It's so annoying can anyone help?

    You now slide it up to open the camera instead of tapping.

    please advise me as what to do next .
    Regards.

    Hi Patoraffo,
    I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera is not functioning
    - If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    - If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    - Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    - Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    - Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    - Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    - Try to remain steady while focusing:
              - Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
              - Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    - If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Hello ffattah,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities
    I have a couple of articles for you to run through and test out. The first is to address the camera not working, take a look at this one iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802.

    For the Wifi being grayed out in your settings take a look at this article named iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    And if none of that works try resetting the device with this process from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    Lastly you may need to backup and restore the device with iTunes:

  • Camera is not working with iOS5

    All of a sudden, my Camera function is not working anymore after upgraded to iOS5.

    See this thread:

    From Apple:

    Yes, a fix is coming soon.

  • Both my cameras are not working I took it in and they reset the phone and it still continued to happen what can I do?

    Both my cameras are not working I took it in and they reset the phone and it still continued to happen what can I do?

    If a Restore of iPhone with iTunes on computer does not get it working correctly. Then it is hardware problem. Apple with handle this with Replacement iPhone 4S exactly same as yours for $199. If there is any hope at fixing this otherwise, first step would be to replace the front (facetime camera) first. See if both cameras function after this. If not, if there is any fix possible it will be very difficult. Replacement iPhone may be best plan.

    Hi there - I just completed a leopard upgrade. Strangely enough, after installation and the subsequent reboot, i cannot get the finder to work. Upon clicking on the finder it just sits there and gives the 'waiting' signal (rotating multicolor circle). I opened the activity monitor and killed it, clicked again. nothing. Rebooted numerous times.. nothing. I also tried to install the leopard software update. The files download fine but will not install. I assume this has to do with the finder problem. Any ideas on how to fix this? thanks!!
    There are really two "Finders," the one in the dock and the one that actually runs the GUI.
    When you click on your desktop, you see the Finder menu on the top right. Do any of those functions work?
    For example, if you click Go->Home, does the Finder window open as normal?
    If so, you may simply have a corrupted Finder alias in your dock.
    I would first run DU and perform a disk check and repair permissions.
    How to get to DU? Again, if the top right Finder menu works, select Go->Utilities and run DU from there.

  • IMac 27': iSight camera is not working but it is recognized in Utilities

    My iSight camera is not working. I'm sure it is not a hardware problem, because when I reinstalled MacOs Lion it worked for some time. I'm sure is a software problem. When I run FaceTime appears the message that "No camera is connected", also in Photo Booth is not working.

    (1) First, be sure connections and other issues from 
         here are eliminated as possible problem causes:
           • http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2400
           • http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3544
    (2) Then, if Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
        suggestions do not help you, (the "reset" suggested there
        often restores normal function,) continue with the following.
    (3) Use Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
        download and apply the 10.7.2 Combo Update:
         http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1459
    (4) Repair permissions again immediately following the
         system restart that completes the Combo update.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct problems like yours.

    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.

  • Camera App - Not Working "error.4003"

    I am receiving the error.4003 for the camera app. This affects both camera and video modes. The front facing camera does not work through the camera app, but works fine if used via the video chat app. This appears to be a software error as the touch screen interface controls in the camera app are not completely functional or have a severe response time lag as compared to normal touch screen response time.
    Apparently worked fine a month ago. Pictures taken looked great. 
    At first the error message received on the camera app stated camera was already in use. Not the error above is all I get. 
    I've done research via the Web and the only responses thus far is to send this into RIM. But too many people are experiencing this error and the posted ideas on other forums are either questionable or IMO not acceptable. 
    Also the screen capture cameramode works fine. No problems.

    From everything I hear 4003 is a "hardware" malfunction.
    It happened to me as well right AFTER the 1032 OS upgrade - how's that possible>?
    Probably blows a resister or something.
    I had warranty left -and got a brand new Playbook in return this week. The turnaround took only a few days by FedEx.
    Why so fast? It can't be fixed - so they're just tossing the old ones and replacing them.
    I received a brand new identical model (32g) - however it wanted to go to the 1032 upgrade step during intial setup.
    i was hoping to avoid that. Did it anyway - no choice.
    Happy to report - cameras are both working.
    NO explanation of the hardware fault by RIM - what it is or what causes it.
    If you have warranty - just call support. They're breaking it somehow - it's not YOU!
    Get it replaced before your warranty runs out.

  • Iphone 4 camera flash not working.

    Iphone 4 camera flash not working when taking pictures but works with the flashlight app. I have ios 7. Tried factory reset. My wife has the same problem with her iphone 4 since the first month she has had it. Any suggestions?

  • My camera does not work on my ipod touch 4th gen. it just goes to a black screen i have done everything from resetting and rebooting... help :(

    I fell down the stairs the other day and busted my other ipod to the gamewerks near my house. the guy said he couldnt fix that ipod so he gave me a new one.. a better one a 32GB, the broken one was 8GB. but he told me the only bad thing is that the camera does not work and he doesnt know why... he just couldnt get it to workkk... any ideas on whats wrong?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order
