Camera shutter won't open, have tried all the tricks, closing all apps, turning phone off, hard stop, etc. nothing is working. Any ideas ?

My camera app on my iPhone 4 is not working. The app will open but the shutter will not open and I am unable to open the options, etc. I have tried closing all apps, closed and reopened my camera app, shut the phone off, did a hard stop and the camera still will not work. Any help ?

Hard reset. Hold the top lock button & Home Screen button til you see the White apple. Try camera afterwards.

Can't connect to imessage on my iPhone 5. It says waiting for activation and when I try to sign in tells me to check my network connection. I've tried resetting the settings and network settings, turning it off and on, and nothing works. Any ideas?

Does the same thing for FaceTime

So..any suggestions? Just to note, it is definitely without a doubt sim free and unlocked to all networks.
Thanks in advance.
"SIM Free" does not mean the same thing as "Unlocked". SIM Free means you can use it with any carrier, but it will lock to the first carrier whose SIM you activate it with. The ONLY source for truly unlocked phones is direct from an Apple store or Apple Online.

Ever since the update to the IOS7 my ipod will not keep the time. I have reset everything you could reset I have even reset it back to factory settings. I have tried setting the time and date to automatic and manual multiple times but nothing is working.

Please 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.

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.

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.

I lost the ability to use wifi after the 8.02 update. Is there a way to fix this? I've already tried resetting network. Turned the phone off and on. Nothing is working and now I have to run on just data.

csdwarf,
So sorry to hear about the trouble with Wi-Fi! Let's get that working the way it should. Could you provide us some more details regarding where this breakdown occurs? Are you having trouble with turning Wi-Fi on or connecting to your Wi-Fi? Are other devices connecting to your Wi-Fi without issue?

Do I need to have "Time Machine" running in the background all the time or can I turn it off and on say once a week?

I know of no way to remove encryption on iTunes backups if you've forgotton the password. If you've used the 4 digit PIN code to lock your iPhone in the past that can sometimes default as your "password" for this encryption in iTunes. Try that PIN or any PIN you've used in the past. If you don't use a lock maybe you played around with that feature once when you first got your phone....try "1,2,3,4" or anything you could have possibly tried.
As far as accessing older unencrypted backups you can try this software. I do not have any experience using it but it seems like it's what you need and is probably the easiest route for both voicemail and texts:

If you want to try to find voicemails using Terminal, I found this link as well:
http://mikereys.wordpress.com/2011/10/18/iphone-backup-restoring-visual-voice-ma il/
I know with AT&T, voicemails are only stored on their servers for 30 days so any voicemail older than that you would not have been able to access again.
Best of luck.

IPhone 4 camera shutter won't open when on WIFI

SInce upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 the camera app's shutter won't open when on wifi. Works fine when on 3g.
I reset the phone, restored the os, turned on an off location services, etc etc and nothing works.
Anyone else have this issue or have a solution for this?

Camera shutter PROBLEM SOLVED on my iPhone 4. It looks the shutter locking is due to moisture. I dried the phone using the cold very dry air from an air conditioner outlet for one hour. The shutter began opening lickety split, better than ever before.(refrigerator or freezer wll not work!!!! - will not dry the phone internals) .
A guy on Youtube suggested drying out an iPhone 3 in the sun to solve Wifi operation problem and I decided to try on my iPhone 4. The trick worked, camera shutter opens in about 1/2 second rather than 4 or 5 seconds or never. To remove moisture from the phone, I suggest the A/C trick as more effective and safer than sun or hair drier. Other possibility could be the 2 day jar of rice treatment. RS in Kuala Lumpur

HT4623 I have lost all the use of all the location in-built apps- wi-fi ....etc. can you help

I have lost all the in-built location apps - wifi etc

Lost as in "they're not there anymore" or as in "they don't work anymore"? If the second, make sure Location Services is enabled in Settings / Privacy / Location Services, and that the desired apps are allowed to make use of the info.

ITunes won't open, have tried everything!

Running Windows 7, iTunes used to work fine but now I click on the icon and it just won't open: no error message or explanation, it's just as though it's ignoring my request to open it.
Have looked on the Internet for possible solutions and tried deleting/reinstalling it at least 3 times, all of the suggestions on the 'Support' page such as deleting the '.info' files in the program files, running as Administrator, trying it on new user accounts and attempting to run it in Safe mode, nothing works. I set my default music player to iTunes and tried playing music files but that doesn't open iTunes or play the music files. Would love if someone could help me with this!

Hi,
I had a similar problem (itunes appcrash), I tried to delete everything, but by following really step by step this tutorial (link below), I managed to delete EVERY itunes file and component. Once your computer cleaned, just download back itunes. I hope it will work for u.

Camera shutter won't open in iphone 5

I just got a new Iphone 5 as a warranty replacement. The camera feature doesn't work. The shutter remains closed. The video doesn't work. My flashlight app won't work. I've tried a hard close on the camera app. I've tried turning the phone off and on again. The camera is not restricted. It seems to be a software problem but I don't know how to download a new driver if that is how these phones work. Please help.

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.

HT1688 What should I do after my iphone 4s' LED light won't turn off and the camera shutter won't open after it was dropped in salt seawater?

How can I TURN OFF the LED light and TURN ON my camera shutter on my iphone 4s after it was accidentally submerged in seawater?

Welcome to Apple Communities
Water damaged the device, and you can't solve it. Take it to an Apple Store
