Camera problems after 8.02 update on iPhone 5-

HI
I've recently updated the iOS of my iPhone 5.
since then, I haven't been able to take photos! I don't know what to do- it's extremely frustrating.
any advice? please
Thanks

Hi geanvianni,
If you are having an issue with your iPhone's camera not functioning, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article - 
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Specifically -
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.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while 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.

Issue not resolved 
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • Cam problem after ios 7 update

    After ios7 update, I have some cam problems.
    I can not manage to turn on the cam perf ectly when I slide the screen for using cam or when I press on the cam icon.
    I have to try more than 5 times to turn i t on, then sometimes I succeed.
    Can someone tell me the problem, is this a temporary problem or should I have to send my phone to a service? 

    I tried reset, restart and restore!
    But it is still the same. When I turn on the camera to shoot photo, it is still blury and there is no view.
    I have to press sleep button and come to lock screen to use the camera 5 or 6 times. After these actions, I can barely manage to turn on the camera to shoot photos.
    Is this hardware or software problem?
    Thanx for your kind help

  • Camera Problems after 2.3 Update

    Hi Folks,
    My Xperia X10 was updated with 2.3 prior to my receiving it from the wireless team at work. The camera is behaving as if it is not the correct version, or can't be run properly by the phone. The symptoms are:
    When the camera app is started, there is a long delay before it actually opens.
    When I press any on-screen icon (to change the resolution or scene type, etc...) there will be a long delay between each menu coming up, so long that the error always pops up saying: "Sorry! Activity Camera (in application Camera) is not responding. Force close / Wait. I can click 'wait' and eventually the menu is accessable and I can make my choice.
    The main problem is when I try to take a photo. When I first press the picture button half way, it should turn the photo target box green while the proper lighting and focus settings are applied, after which I would push the button all the way and take the picture. In stead, when I press the button (half way or all the way) all icons on the camera go away, and will not come back after the button is no longer depressed. I simply have to quit the camera app from there.
    Is there some problem with 2.3 and the camera app? Any suggestions for a fix would be much appreciated.
    Best, Jeff

    After posting the above I found this thread that explains my exact issue:

    There is still not a satisfactory fix, but at least a work-around that allows use of the camera.

  • HT2589 after my last update my iphone and ipad has an old apple id email address which I cannot change, but itunes has the right id.  How do I fix this problem

    After my last update mu iphone and ipad has an deleted apple id, but my itunes have the new on and I cannot change it on my devices.  Any help would be appreciated.

    If it's an old account which you'd updated with a new email address then try logging out of it on the iPad (and iPhone) by tapping on the id in Settings > Store (Settings > iTunes & App Stores on iOS 6) and then log back in and see if that 'refreshes' the account on the iPad (and iPhone). If you created a new account then any content that you purchased/downloaded via the old account will remain tied to that old account, and only that old account can download updates to its apps.

  • After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category.

    After syncing and updating my iphone my iCalendar on my computer lost most of my information. Including wiping out an entire calendar group.  When trying to readd the calendar group it won't let me add events to my calendar under that category. A message pops up that says: "You can't add events or to do items to a calendar group. Select an individual calendar in the calendar list, then create your events or to do items." Any help here would be greatly appreciated! I would like to either retrieve the old information or find a way to add the category back in to start over. Thanks in advance!

    hi i had the same problem today when i updated my itunes to latest version. however, i have just found my songs in the 'itunes media' folder. this was accessed through 'my music'  then keep clicking through until you find itunes media and all my library songs were in there and i then just added these files to my library and all were restored however, i have lost all my playlists but at least my 700 songs are back. very dissapointed with apple that they have let this happen with their latest update, the previous version was miles better than this one . hope you find them. stevo

  • TS1398 Did anybody got problem after downloading ios 6 on iPhone 4?

    Did anybody got problem after downloading iOS 6 on iPhone 4??cause mine one got problem......1st,my signal got weak and 2nd my safari browser got problem....slow and unable to connect to network sometime???even my 1st gen iPad much faster.....while open safari browser.....

    My Verizon 16 GB iPhone 4 Camera is fine. It is even located on the lock screen.
    What may have happened is they may have moved your icon to another location. But check the lock screen. There should be a camera icon next to the slide bar. Just press the camera ico and slide it UP

  • Wifi problem after.4.3 update on xperia z

    Hi all,
    After updating my Xperia Z (C6603) to build number 10.4.1.B.0.101 I've been having connection issues with every Wi-Fi network.
    I've checked the forum but I only found problems about people having Wi-Fi issues with their smartwatch, I do not own a smart watch this is just a general networking issues.
    Here's the problem in detail:
    When having no Wi-Fi switched on while booting the phone the phone will start without any issues, I will receive my 3G/4G signal and I can browse, e-mail, everything.
    Once I switch on Wi-Fi it will start connecting to previously stored Wi-Fi access points but will not connect. Eventually it says that there was a problem with connecting, even though this will take several minutes.
    I can go into the Wi-Fi settings, select a different Wi-Fi network (if it is in range) and press connect, however the settings app will freeze at that point and eventually I'll get a notification that the settings app has stopped working.
    I have found a "work-around": I switch the Wi-Fi to on, power off the phone and power on again. Now the Wi-Fi connection immediately powers on without an issue once the phone has completely booted, it also will connect to the default Wi-Fi connection that is in range. A different issue appears however once I move out of Wi-Fi range, it will no longer pick up my 3G/4G signal. It is also impossible to switch off Wi-Fi or switch Wi-Fi network connections without rebooting the phone.
    As I said before this happened to me after updating to version 10.4.1.B.0.101 after having it received through OTA update. I do not have root access on my phone either so this can't be it.
    Is there anyone experiencing the same issues? Is this somehow related to the issues people are experiencing with their smart watch connections (as seen in this topic: http://talk.sonymobile.com/t5/Software-Updates/wifi-problem-after-4-3-update-on-xperia-z/td-p/490591...
    If there's anyone who is experiencing the same issues, or has found a fix for this I'd gladly hear from you.
