Camera shutter doesn't open

The shutter will not open on my iphone camera. It works fine if I switch to the front-facing camera, but when I switch back to the rear camera the shutter is closed.
The same thing happens in instagram. I have closed the camera app. I have done a reset.
Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or does it sound like a hardware problem?
Thanks.

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

HT1430 Camera Shutter doesn't open

My camera shutter doesn't open. I can't take picture and make video call on Skype. I tried restoring it to its factory setting, still no positive result. Hope you could help me

But it is faster to get the replacement at the Genius Bar. If the iPad is defective, within warranty and not abused you will walk out with the replacement. Just make an appointment so you do not have to wait.

And what was the point of starting up another thread on exactly the same topic especially when you have already got responses in the original one. Please don't start new threads and or posts on the same topic as it only serves to cause confusion, duplicate answers and make it difficult to have a cohesive discussion. I have already responded to you in your original post about my iPhone 4.

My camera shutter doesn't open

My iPhone camera shutter will not open. Occasionally, the reverse camera shutter will open, but when I hit the button to reverse it back it just blurs out the picture--I don't think it ever switches around. I have powered off the phone using the top button and have done a reset by hitting both the top button and the front button at the same time. What else can I try? I am about 200 miles from the nearest Apple Store.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you've tried ALL those steps and the problem persists, you'll need to make the trip to Apple.

IPod touch camera shutter doesn't open

I click onto the camera icon and the shutter thing just doesn't open
Help!!!!

Try powering the iPod off and then on again, then opening the camera app. Or, delete it from the multitasking tab, and then try opening it. Good luck!

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

My ipad 2 camera shutter will not open

Help!! My Ipad2 camera shutter will not open. What should i do???

Quit the camera app completely and then try it again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try the camera app again.
If that doesn't work ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

Please help me , my camera raw doesn't open on photoshop or bridge

my camera raw doesn't open on photoshop cs6 or adobe bridge :S and i don't know what is the reason , when i try to open any of my raw photos i get this message
so what should i do ? please any one help me here

You’ll need a connection to the internet, and probably have a registered version to do updates. Sometimes it takes a few minutes for PSE to talk to the Adobe servers and see that you’re needing updates. If you are connected to the internet, then perhaps your computer has a firewall or internet security that needs temporarily disabled. So try some things like that.
You can also try downloading and running the updaters for ACR 8. CS6 from this Adobe blog page:

IPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open! I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.
My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open. I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.
I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.
bummer!

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS.

I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

TS4006 The camera shutter will not open and the camera screen is black front and rear ipod 4, tried force quit and reset, help?

The camera shutter will not open sometime and the camera screen is black. It seems to open as if were switching to the rear but that also appears black? i have force quit the app and hard/soft reset, help?

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: How to back up
- 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.

Iphone 5 Camera Shutter will not open

I have an Iphone 5 and the camera shutter will not open, i will not work in any other camera app either. I can open and reopen it several times and then manage to click the front camera which does work fine. I have called Apple Support (which isnt helpful) as have to pay for them to run through troubleshoot with me!!! - I have not even had the phone for a year, anyone sorted this issue or have this issue?
I have tried all resets and again same problem!!
thank you

From experience you can try a restore but this usually would be resolved by hardware service. Seek service at your local "Genius Bar" if possible.
