CAMERA not working on new iPHONE4.

Is anyone else having problems with the CAMERA on the new iPHONE 4.Mines not working at all.(The phone itself is fine, just the camera) Have restored it twice now but just simply doesnt work. When i reboot it, it works for a few seconds then it just freezes........ Have to say im very disappointed in it,after all the hype about it......this kind of thing should simply not happen....

FYI- Just got back from the Apple Store and they did the same thing as what roblofu reported. They tried to restore, but no luck, so they ended up replacing the phone. Looks like it really is a hardware issue after all...
*One thing I gotta say is hats off to Ryan at the Grove Apple store who really helped me get this resolved even though it was still a mad house in there from the mob caused by the iPhone 4 launch. I didn;t have an appointment, and the Genius Bar was overflowing because they had closed it early on launch day causing every appt to get pushed to today all the way through the weekend which meant I would not have got this resolved 'til sometime next week. After talking with him and expressing my frustration, he not only found me a willing genius to look at it in between their customers, but he kept checking back with me the whole time until I left. Now that's the kind of service that keeps me buying Apple products again and again. You just don't see that kind of service in most tech companies today what with all the outsourcing going on. Kudos to both him and the Genius that helped me which I unfortunately forgot his name. But I thanked him profusely!

  • Camera not working on new profile

    I have 3 profiles on this same Skype, on one laptop. 1 profile works fine but on second profile camera not working (video not showing), audio works fine. I created a new account (e-mail is same from second profile) and is this same - video not working. I dont understand what is wrong. This same laptop, this same camera, this same drivers/windows7, latest Skype, and from 3 profiles one working fine. Please help!!!

    Try to reset all Skype settings.
    Quit Skype or use Windows Task Manager to kill any Skype.exe process. Go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %appdata% and then press Enter or click the OK button. The Windows File Explorer will pop up. There locate a folder named “Skype”. Rename this folder to something different, e.g. Skype_old.
    Next go to Windows Start and in the Search/Run box type %temp%\skype and then press Enter or click the OK button. Delete the DbTemp folder.
    Restart Skype.
    N.B. If needed, you will still be able to re-establish your call and chat history. All data is still saved in the Skype_old folder.

  • Facetime HD Camera not working on new 27inch iMac

    Hello everyone,
    I got a new 27" iMac and can't get the built-in Facetime HD camera working...when I open Photo Booth I just get a gray spinning wheel where my image would usually be.. I tried using it with iMovie, FaceTime, and Facebook and it wont work with any of them...
    I went to System Information and the camera is being recognized under USB (FaceTime HD Camera Built In)
    Tried restarting it, unplugging everything, creating a new user account...
    Not sure what else to do since I have not installed anything yet
    Any help would be appreciated...thank you!

    Because you already use 10.8.2, unless something is wrong, the requirements for the 10.8.2 update can obviously be met on your startup drive.
    Check your startup disk's free space.  Unless your disk has too little free space for the 10.8.2 Combo, your software (or perhaps your disk hardware) may need repair.
    If your disk is getting full, increase disk space.
    Otherwise, restart Mac from Mountain Lion Recovery and use Mountain Lion Recovery's Disk Utility to repair your boot drive.
    Restart normally and try installing the Combo Update again.

    If you mean that you are trying to install some kind of camera software, don't.  No software other than OS X is needed for any Mac-compatible cam.  Moreover, adding third-party camera drivers or other camera software apps can cause software conflicts.
    If you mean that you have already installed some third-party camera software, follow its developer's instructions for uninstalling, and uninstall it immediately.  Then restart normally and try your camera again.
    If you mean something else, please explain in different words.

    If you're still having trouble, your problem deserves the individual attention it will get in its own thread.
    Because your problem is not EXACTLY the same as the OP's here, if you need to write back for more help, please start a new topic here. 
    To avoid getting recommendations you already know do not help you, list the specifics of all the "stuff" you have tried, including things suggested here.
    We will offer relevant, distinct suggestions based on the details of the info in your posted topic.

  • Apple 4 camera not working

    My iphone 4 camera not working it opens afters closing 2-3 times before but its can not open now i totaly reset,restore,formet and change software version but still now its not open that is 5-6 month now please tell me what to do now

    There is no Apple here, this is a user to user forum.  When you said you restored, then you restore as NEW?
    If you restored as New and still the problem persiist, then it time to take a trip to the Apple store.

    Hi, sanaayesha. Welcome to Microsoft Mobile Community. We'd love to know more about your concern. When you say camera isn't working, does it mean it's inaccessible, not taking sharp images, etc.? Does this happen to both main and secondary camera? Are you getting this issue regardless of the lens you're using? You can try checking the workarounds given on this link to further isolate the issue: My camera is not working correctly. The content of this link is applicable regardless of your location. Hope to hear from you the soonest.

    No. You can get an out of warranty replacement or buy a new phone. A an out if warranty replacement will be cheaper than buying a new one.

  • Front camera not working

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem as myself in regards to the front camera not working. All I seem to get is a black screen! I'm not sure if I need to activate it somehow or it's just not working? Thanks Ross

    UPDATE:  After the intial Factory Data Reset, the camera work fine for one day.  Now it's back to the same blank screen in the front camera.  Also now my video camera isn't working either.  I get an error msg "Recording in progress in another app. Cannot record".  I know some folks were having issues with the "OK Google" app.  I checked mine and all is unchecked.   Spent most of the day talking with Sony and Verizon and neither was able to help me other than Verizon offered a refurbed phone.  No thank you, my phone is new.  **bleep** Sony?  If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • Home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update.

    home sharing does not work with new mountain lion update. Does anyone else have the same issue. Updated all computers in my home, deauthorized and reauthorized each computer. turn off home sharing and turned it back on. don't know what else to do..please help...

    Our Apple TVs continue to lose connection ever since installing Mountain Lion on the host computer. The only thing that fixes them is to quit and relaunch iTunes, which only works unti the ATV goes to sleep. If a movie is paused for more than a few minutes and the ATV goes to sleep, pressing play again on the remote is greeted with "There are no movies on this computer" or "Turn on Home Sharing."
    If we stop a video on one ATV and attempt to resume it in another room, the error begins again. The other ATV can't connect until iTunes is relaunched.
    My guess is that it has something to do with the new [annoying] security settings. But I still haven't found a fix other than restarting iTunes everytime we want to watch something from our downloads. Fail.

  • HT3917 My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed

    My apple wireless keyboard is not working after new batteries installed.

    Do you get a steady green light to say there is a connection.    If not, are the batteries the right way round.   Do you have a monitor to tell the batteries strength. Is there a reading.   Are the batteries good quality ones, Duracell, Energiser or Apple rechargeables.
