Camera shutter stuck on iPhone3G

Hi all,
After updating to OS 3.0, camera app is stuck. Shutter doesn't open.
Even after restoring/resetting completely.
Any suggestions much appreciated.
Thanks

I'm having the same problem. I can use the camera once, but if I try to open the camera again, the shutter stays closed. The same thing happens when I view photos. I can open the album on my phone once, but not twice. The SAME THING happened just now when I tried to check the photo/camera settings. I opened Settings once, but not twice. AND, any photos I took with my old first gen iPhone are very low quality... sometimes. Not all the time. This is getting out of hand.

  • Grrrr... 2 months and camera shutter stuck

    The camera on my 4(and any app that might call the camera) is stuck showing the shutter.
    I have tried soft and hard resets, and totally resetting the phone and restoring from a backup.
    It's still stuck. Went to the Apple Store, got told that I needed to book ahead. Had to book for later in the week.

    Why do I keep buying this stuff?

    Try closing the Camera and Photo Booth apps via the taskbar and see if they work when you re-open them : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera or Photo Booth app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera and Photo Booth apps to close them, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone 4 camera shutter stuck

    I updated my iphone 4 to iOS 5.1 and now when I go into my camera the camera shutter is stuck closed how do i fix it so i can use my camera again.

    What have you done to try and troubleshoot this? Power the phone off/on. If it still is not working, then try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. See if it works after that. Next step if no help is a restore, first from a backup, and if necessary as a new device. Last step is to make an appointment at the Apple Genius Bar and have them check for a hardware problem.

  • 3g camera shutter stuck

    I got this phone the other day & my camera was working fine but now the shutter is stuck in the closed postion. If I turn the camera it changes it from portrait to landscape but it will not open. Please help:)

    Try a Reset of the Phone... You will Not Lose Any Data...
    Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    The Apple logo will Appear and then Disappear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds...
    Release the Buttons...
    Turn the Phone On...

  • IPod Touch camera shutter is stuck closed.

    All other functionality works fine.  The iPod Touch is about 1 year old and suddenly the camera shutter is stuck closed.  Tried re-booting by holding down on/off switch and screen button.  Result was a reboot to "Apple" symbol, but shutter is still stuck.  Anyone experienced this and know how to fix it?

  • Why does the camera shutter stay closed?

    Why does the camera shutter stay stuck?  The camera won't operate.  I've rebooted several times, I've changed settings several times, I've held by finger over each camera as demostrated on a youtube video.  Nothing has corrected the problem.

    That happens sometimes.  See this ongoing discussion.  An appointment at the Genous Bar of an Apple store is probably in order:

  • How can I turn off the camera shutter sound on an iPhone 6 bought in the U.S.?

    I know some countries don't allow the camera shutter sound to be disabled, but I'm not sure if the U.S. is one of those countries. Is it? If not, can someone tell me how to disable it please?

    Use the mute switch on the side of the phone above the volume buttons.

  • 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!

  • How to remove Camera shutter sound?

    Hi all
    I really need to get rid of that irritating camera Shutter noise the phone makes when it takes a picture.
    I tried to use javax.microedition.amms.control.camera.CameraControl :enableShutterFeedback
    however Nokia still doesn't support this functionality.
    I am even willing to turn off the phones master volume but I don't think this is possible from J2ME.
    Even manually there is no option in the phones settings to do this!
    (I here that this functionality is being supressed due to privacy concerns)
    Does anyone have any ideas?
    Thanks

    you can use a program on your pc like xs++ which gives you access to the phones firmware, you can find the sounds file for the shutter and delete it
