Camera not responding

I'm having FREQUENT issues with my camera not responding or freezing up when I try to use it.
I have also noticed my phone turning itself off or spontaneously restarting.
Anyone know a "fix" for either issue?
This is a replacement phone because my brand new Droid Maxx had the same camera issue about 2 months after I bought it.
I've restarted, reset, cleared cache, and uninstalled updates, yet nothing seems to help. With my first Maxx, I tried all the same things at the advise of online support, when they didn't work, I was issued a replacement.
I guess my dilemma is, Is there now a "fix? should I get a replacement? or should I Edge Up and try a different phone?

We want to see you snapping away with your camera, lucychik! Did this start as soon as you received the replacement? Have you installed the same applications on this device as the last? Does this happen in apps that use camera or just native Camera program? When restart occurs are you using a certain app or process? I am eager to get to the bottom of this!
Thank you,

Why does the camera not respond to tapping?

I have used UITapGestureRecognizer so that an instance of UIImageView will respond to tapping when applied to images. However, so far, the camera does not respond to anything I try in this regard.
Could it be that the camera view does not respond to tapping?
Thanks.

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this exercise is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login. Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
Be sure your Mac is shut down.
Press the power button.
Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including wireless networking on certain Macs.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem(s)?
After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode.)

Sony Xperia M Camera NOT RESPONDING PROBLEM

My Camera is not responding well. As soon as I select Picture Effect, the screen turns black and the phone becomes unresponsive
This is the second time I am facing the same problem in a second replaced handset.

Repair it with PCC, if that doesn't work then contact your local Xperia Care

Ipad2 camera not responding... Help!

Just got a new iPad 2... At first the camera was working but when I tried switching to the front camera it's not responding anymore... As well as the photo booth... Please help!

I can't find any resolution on this problem.
When I use the camera -- that camera that came pre-installed on the phone -- the camera opens but the shutter stays closed. also, in the bottom right hand corner of the camera app is a slide button that goes between video and camera -- this just flashes or vibrates. like someone is holding it down. this goes on for about 30 seconds then stops. Still nothign works.
I downloaded an application called V1 golf software -- the front camera works normally but when you select the button to switch so the camera is facing you it stops working (again shutter doesn't open).
Face time camera doesnt work at all but we have audio. So, its working but the camera piece is not working.
Please let me know a real resolution as I can not find anything here.

SD1300 IS camera not responding

By pushing the buttons on my camera I brought it to a state, where it doesn't communicate with my computer (it doesn't see it), so I can't upload pictures from it. Also I can's see my pictures in the camera, which I previously took.
How do I reset my camera to it default state?

Have not validated these instructions myself, but here's an older thread about the same issue, with few different suggestions: http://discussions.nokia.com/t5/Maemo-and-MeeGo-Devices/Nokia-N9-camera-problem/td-p/1497998

The iphones is not a backup device. The music sync is one way - computer to iphone.
You need to copy everything from your old computer, or your backup copy of your old computer to the new one.
Type "move itunes library" or similar into the Google search bar.

IPod 5th generation rear camera not responding

If i click on the camera app and it's already switched to the rear camera, it shows a black screen. sometimes it even takes away the flash option. If I use the front facing camera, it lets me take pictures, but if I try switching to the rear camera, it sorta blurs the picture of the front camera and freezes. The microphone is working fine, because I've talked to Siri and used the microphone to type for me. I've only had this iPod since last Christmas. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Adobe camera raw will not respond in bridge cs6?

adobe camera raw does not respond in adobe bridge? I am trying to open Jpegs, which i have previously been able to do so by right clicking and opening in adobe camera raw. Now it is unresponsive.

You are definitely in the wrong forum for Bridge CS6 and Adobe Camera Raw. You have posted in the Adobe Premiere Elements Forum (video editing focus).
You probably want to be posting in the Photoshop Forum.
http://forums.adobe.com/community/photoshop
My preliminary findings suggest possible workaround
a. Open camera raw in Photoshop 5 or 5.5 and then open edited raw image in Bridge CS6
or
b. There is a preferences route to check out.
Not being a Photoshop user, this is a quick suggestion where you might start looking. This is apparently a known issue.
The Photoshop users should be able to give you all the details and options you have for workarounds for now.

Satellite L450D not responding after installation of camera software

Hello,
I've just this month bought a L450D back from the UK. Yesterday I tried installing Olympus Digital Camera Software but once installed wouldn't work. Olympus site claim is compatible with Windows 7 but I decided to uninstall software. I'm wondering if I uninstalled something I shouldn't have because not responding now.
I've got a message - Windows Explorer has stopped working with 2 options: Check online for a solution and restart the program or Restart the Program
Problem is curser wont respond with the touchpad. Tried FN + F9 a couple of times with no response. Connected mouse, curser moves but wont respond to comand
Any ideas?

Hi
That means the Olympus Camera Software is causing this problem?
Hmm Have you tried uninstalling the software in safe mode? Therefore go in advanced boot menu (F8) and select safe mode. Then try uninstalling Olympus software usual.
Furthermore you can try uninstalling with special tools like CCleaner. I often use it because it cleans the registry and others.
Check this!!

CS5 not responding after opening Bridge and Camera Raw

I have been using bridge, camera raw and cs5 since it was released. I have not any problems until this morning. I am able to open Bridge and Camera Raw, but when trying to open PS CS5, it does not respond?
Any suggestions?

Try resetting your preferences as described in the FAQ.

You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

Not responding web camera

Im using the built-in web camera. Whenever i try to connect, i get an error message saying that im not responding. What does that mean and how do i get rid of it?

trying to connect to what? Can you provide any more specifics? For the most part, the iSight camera is integrated into the applications so there is no need "to connect" to anything. Have you verified that the iSight is working properly? Try opening Photobooth and see how that goes.

Is it possible to lock the camera so the screen does not respond to touch? Everything else works but camera screen seems frozen.

My camera screen acts like it is locked. Everything else on the phone is fine and I only have fourteen photo's on the phone, one day it worked and the next day the screen does not respond. Have I done something?
