Camera won't work after IOS 7 update

Ever since I updated to iOS 7 both cameras have stopped working,. I was reading up on it in a discussion and read a few promising steps to take to get my cams back working, from resets to backing up and restoring from backups after deleting all of my apps which can be deleted and suddenly my front camera works again
But still freezes up when I switch to the back camera . This seems to be directly caused by my updating to iOS 7
Can anyone tell me more about this problem, if it's common and what I can do
Thanks!!

Camera Flash won't work after iOS 5 update

Okay so I had the iOS 5 beta from my friend who is a developer. My camera flash was working perfectly fine then. When I updated to the final version of iOS 5 I tried to use the flashlight and it wasn't working. I then tried taking a picture with flash on and it didn't work. It seems that the flash is completely not working. Any Suggestions?

Beta's are buggy, that's the point of the beta is to give it to people so they an file bugs.
Have you restored to the shipping iOS5 yet? Backup your data then update to iOS5 and perhaps it will be fixed.

Camera will not work after iOS 8 update

AAfter I installed the update 8 my camera stopped working. The front works for a split second but the rear has a black or blurry screen. I've reset it and nothing works.

I callef Apple and they suggested I restore it and wipe it clean. I did that and it still wouldn't work. I took it to Apple inside the mall and they instantly said it was a problem with the hardware and replaced it. They said the problem might have always been there and the update just brought it to the surface. They had me out in 15 min with a new phone. But as I was walking out of the mall I realized the screen would not respond to touch. I turned around and went back. They write DOA on the box and switched that one for another. This one works great now. They said all Apple prodycts have a one year warranty, thankfully I've only had my phone 11 months so they was able to give me a new one. I was very pleased with the help at Apple. I'm sorry you all are having the same problem, it was very frustrating and I had wished I'd never updated it. I highly suggest taking it to Apple and I hope they will do the same they did for me.

HT6154 rear camera on iphone 5 not working after ios 8 update why?

My iPhone 5 rear camera is no longer working after ios 8 update its just black I can see the flash choice the hdr and the timer but other than that it is a black screen

Hi there fjci2003,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

Imessaging doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

imessaging on ipod touch doesnt work after iOs 6 update, can't send or recieve messages. it isnt the wifi since everything else is working. have tried every solution possible. help?!

Short of a reset to factory settings I've found making sure iMessaging is not left minimised helps. It doesn't seem to keep its connection. So, by closing after each use this helps. I've been doing this since I logged out of iMessaging at least 1/2 doz times and even changed my apple id pw as this had ceased to be recognised. I get fewer send failures now and don't have an inactive send button so much. Having said this its all a bit of a work around as iMessaging isn't behaving as it once did. If over time not resolved will do factory reset. All the best.

Front and back cameras stopped working after IOS 8 update

My front and back cameras both stopped working after i updated my phone to the IOS 8 software. Does anyone know why this would happen or any way of fixing it?

Hi VictoriaViking,
Not sure why your cameras stopped working with the update, or what the exact symptom is (black screen, no response...), but please check out the Camera troubleshooting section of this article. (I know some don't apply to your issue.)
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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.
Take care,
Nubz

PNG files don't work after iOS 7 update on iPad and iPhone

I have several PNG files stored on my CC account but when I start a new photoshop touch project and try to add the PNG it downloads as a blank image. The dotted outline is there but the image is blank. It used to work before iOS 7 and now it does not. Can someone help.
This started happening after iOS 7 update and im having the same issue on iPhone and iPad.

Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?

I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.

Water and electronics do not mix well. Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced. Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days. But even that is no guarantee.

Camera and led light not working after IOS 7 update on iphone 5 help please!!

After I installed the update my led light won't work for the flashlight and my camera doesn't work either. Only the front facing camera works. Any suggestions?

thanks for the suggestions, i tried the ideas you suggested but i dont even get a camera showing for the rear camera, i also noticed the torchlight no longer works. i did all the steps but no luck.
So I took my camera to the genius bar this weekend as well as walking through various steps with the apple guys in ohio support over the net.
With the guys at the genius bar, after i insisted that it must be software as the rear camera stopped working only after the softwre update, they continued to assure me it was hardware and talked me into letting them replace the camera, they then took it to the back and tried fixing a camera and 30 minutes later came out and said the rear camera is no longer being detected and wanted me to replace the motherboard for yet more money. im glad they didnt charge me for the new camera though as it still didnt work.
anyway the motherboard idea i rejected as it was just 2 months out of warranty and had only stopped working the day after the release of 7.0.2, so im going to wait until the next few releases to see what happens, as i dont believe for a second its hardware. i expected a stock answer from apple and its exactly what i got even after my explanation of how it was working the day before the release. not overly impressed with the whole process.
i wanted to back down to 7.0.1 to confirm the camera still works but they said no chance so i cant even see if it still works ouside 7.0.2. anyway will update if i get any further progress.

HT4623 Reminders won't work after iOS 6.1 update on iPhone 5?

I updated to the new iOS 6.1 update last night. Went to make a reminder through siri and i get to the point were it asks to confim. When I press confirm Siri tells me that she can't do it. I try to set a reminder manually and the app does not give me the option to add a reminder manually. Everything worked fine before the update when my iPhone 5 had the 6.0 iOS?
Any ideas on what the problem coulb be? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
Standard troubleshooting is:
Re-boot the phone
Restore the phone from your backup
Restore the phone as a new device.
One of the 3 should fix the problem.

Safari won't work after iOS update

My Safari 6.0.3 won't respond after installing this weeks iOS update.

Do you mean this OS X update to 10.8.3? iOS, for iPads/iPhones, etc hasn't been updated for two or three weeks.
For the Safari problem, have you tried resetting it? Launch Safari and from the Safari Menu>Reset Safari. tick the options and then 'reset'. Any change?
You could try re-applying the OS X update using the combo:

or re-install Safari with the standalone installer:

HT204407 Find my Friends doesn't work after IOS 7 update

We use find my friends for our entire family to monitor kids locations, etc. Since updating to IOS 7, one of the phones only shows it's location sporadically - otherwise says location not available.
Have verified location services are turned on, nothing is blocked, etc.
This phone was updated to IOS 7 over wifi (vs. through iTunes) - one other phone had some minor (unrelated) issues after updating over wifi that were resolved by doing a factory reset & updating from iTunes - wondering if that could be cause of the issue here as well. Anyone else encountering issues with FMF?

Apple did update their help section on the app. I found this trying to figure out why my Find Friends wasn't working after the update to iOS 7.
"Find My Friends is turned on in Background App Refresh (in Settings > General in iOS 7). When Background App Refresh is turned off, Find My Friends can’t use Location Services in the background. If Background App Refresh is turned on, but you quit Find My Friends via the multitasking interface, location updates won’t be sent to your friends until you open the app again."
Hopefully Apple will update this as it was not this way prior to iOS 7. Killing the app didn't prevent your location from updating in iOS 6 as I constantly killed the apps running in the background and never had this problem till the update. Hope this helps! Just make sure to not kill the app as of now and to tell everyone you follow not to kill their app and locations will continue to refresh. Otherwise it won't update locations till the app is opened again.

How do I get my ringer to work after ios 7 update?

I updated my phone last week to the new ios 7 and now my ringer won't work at all. It won't actually ring but it will just vibrate! I use my phone for work and am missing a lot of important calls.

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again?
Did you already try the troubleshooting mentioned in this article?
