Camera will not open

I have an iPhone 5 and am having issues with the camera.  I press the camera button and the program opens, but the screen isn't allowing me to snap a picture.  I have tried to reset the phone and also power off the phone.  Both of these attempts don't work.  Is there anything else I can do?

Thanks for the help.  I tried this suggestion but it still wouldn't open.  I took it to the Apple store and they are replacing the phone.  They said that all the wires and the hardware seems fine but it must something related to problem inside the actual camera so a replacement is needed.

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

    See:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You need the 8.2 version of the ACR module, and PS10 is too old to be updated.
    So, you can choose between 3 solutions:
    - update PSE to PSE12
    - use the Canon software to convert the raw files to the tiff format which PSE10 can handle
    - download and install the free Adobe DNGconverter which is able to convert a whole folder of CR2 raw files to the Adobe DNG raw format which PSE10 can handle.
    The last two solutions are free.

  • Camera will not open need help

    i have the 4th generation ipod touch and i have very few complaints the only thing i can really complain about its that when i try to open up my camera instead of opening up the screen stays black is there anything i can do to stop  this from happening

    I am trying to open some *.avi files in quicktime, they are from my security camera at home.  It will not open them, would anyone be able to help me?  It says I need a plugin but it does not tell me which one.
    Basically your player is telling you that you need to install the codecs that will play the compressed data within the AVI file.
    AVI is a legacy file container in which the tracks of data are interleaved to maintain synchronization. This data can be encoded using many different audio and video codecs. Your problem is to determine which codecs you need for the player you are trying to use and install them if they are available. Failing that, your will either have to play the files in a different player which has the codec support your require built into the app or convert the content to a compression format that is natively compatible with the player you wish to use.
    Since you have not stated what platform, operating system, and particular player you are targeting for playback, it is difficult to provide precise instructions for fixing your specific problem at this point. Suggest you try alternative players compatible with your system and platform to see if they will play the files, use a dedicated media information utility to determine the codecs needed for playback, or post a sample file for analysis.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings

  • My camera will not open. Any suggestions? I click the app for it, but then it stays closed on the screen.

    Whenever I click the app for my built-in camera, shutter screen never opens to view anything. It works whenever I take a picture through a msg but not whenever i directly click the camera button. Help?

    If the Reset Ian mentioned doesn't work...

    - From any Home Screen, double tap the home button to bring up the Recents List
    - Tap and hold any icon in this list until they wiggle
    - Press the red to delete the Mail app from this list.
    - Press the home button twice when done.

  • My ipod touch front camera will not open i have restored it twice and it still willl not open what do i do ?

    If you restored it to factory defaults/new iPod then see this long-running previous discussion. Not a good sign.

  • My RAZR updated, and now my camera will not open.

    Has anyone else had this trouble or have any advice to offer?  TIA.

    Try clearing the data and cache for the camera app (if it's not grayed out). Go to settings -> Applications -> Manage....and find the Camera app under the System tab. Let me know if that works. Otherwise you may be looking at a factory reset.

  • Camera will not open on the lock screen

    I have an iphone 4 and updated it yesterday with the new update. The overview page says the camera opens on the lock screen but when I tap the camera icon it does nothing. Any one have any suggestions?

    Thanks gdgmacguy.... Any tips on iTunes finding my iPhone after the new update....

  • The "shutter" on my iPhone 4 camera will not open, and the still/video selector repeatedly flashes back and forth. Taking pictures through the messaging interface still works. Help?

    I have tried restarting and restoring. It appears to be a software issue b/c of the availability of messaging pictures. Noticed the issue on Tuesday, with fairly infrequent camera usage.
    Any suggestions?

    Restoring as new seems to have worked. The camera is functional in both still and video modes.
    After restoring as new, I used the backup tool to replace all of my contacts and messages. The camera still worked. I am now reinstalling my apps.
    I will post again if reinstalling these causes the issue to resurface, but as of now the problem is solved. Many thanks.

  • Ipod touch camera will not open and bottom is flickering.

    So, this has happened before. A long time ago, last year, my ipod had water damage. So i turned it off, left it in rice for a few days and it worked again. It's been working for about a year up until now again. As far as i know, the ipod has had no water damage what-so-ever since then. But, just to be sure, I immediately turned it off and put it in rice. That didn't solve the problem. So I went online and people said If I updated my ipod software to ios.5 then it would resolve the problem... It didn't. I've turned my ipod off for days and turned it back on to still find the problem. I've even reset my ipod 5 times. I don't know what to do... When I press the camera, it's either all black or the shutter is closed. And almost always at the bottom, the camera/video slider is flickering. Please please please help.
    And, it's never been broken or cracked, and protected when dropped... So I doubt it's a hardware problem

    - Have you tried just restoreing the iPod to factorydefaults/new iPOd?

    - The problem may be due to the previous liquid intrusion.  Sometimes it can take awhile for some damage to occur.
