Connect 4S to USB cable, camera goes black?

At work I have an iMac 24, 2.8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo with an Apple iPad keyboard dock connected to the USB port. I normally keep my iPad in this dock, but sometime I unplug the dock connector and use it to charge my iPhone 4S.
Yesterday afternoon, after having the phone connected I disconnected it and then the camera dimmed and went black. It was black in every camera app I have, and the default camera stayed at the "shutter" screen. I tried shut down/restart and hard reboot to no avail. Everything else about the phone worked fine.
I was ready to bring it in to the Apple Store, but then last night while I had it connected to an iPhone AC adapter, I hard reset it again and the camera came back on. And worked fine all day... until I connected it to the USB cable and the iMac again this afternoon. This again blacked the camera out in all apps.
I disconnected it and hard reset it, and the camera works.
What could be causing this? Why only when connected to this computer (which I have done for months without incident)? Is the camera about to fail?

Call AppleCare or make an appointment at an Apple store if there is one nearby. The iPhone includes a one year warranty.

You do have iTunes installed right?

Hi, I have 10.6.8 and an HP printer so it may be slightly different but I'll give it my best shot:
Go to System Preferences.
Click on "Print & Fax"
Near the top of that page you should see "Print" and "Scan" options. Click "Scan"
A button appears that says "open scanner"
The settings are different between the different scanner models so I'm not sure what the next window will look like, but it should be pretty straightforward from there. It will scan to a JPEG image which you can attach to an email. I hope that helps! Let me know if there's anything ense I can help with.

I need to scan wirelessly from a MAC (OS 1.7 or higher) through Adobe Acrobat Pro X (or higher). Have discovered that all in one printers say they are MAC compatible but will only scan when connected with a USB cable. Would prefer a laser, color, all in

Does anyone have printer suggestions that you know will scan wirelessly?

Great information.

When i take a picture with flash the camera goes black

Whenever I try to take a picture with flash on my camera goes black.

There are two issues that come to mind... the first (hopefully it's this one) would be that you have a software issue that could be solved by restoring your iPhone from a back up...
The other would be that you have a hardware issue with the camera ... if the camera worked fien before you upgraded, then likely it's a corrupted software file that can be solved by doing the restore.

Computer reboots when connecting ipod to USB cable.

Has this happened to anyone else?
All of a sudden now, whenever I connect my ipod to the USB cable, it makes my computer reboot! And it doesn't stop rebooting until I disconnect the ipod!
I have no idea why this is happening, and I don't know how to make it stop.
I am really starting to lose my faith in EVERY item that Apple has created.

When I connect my ipod to USB immediately following taking it off my AC adapter, it causes my computer (PC, XP) to restart.
Reinstall Windows. This has nothing to do with iTunes or any other Apple software, because that functionality is entirely Windows based.
If reinstalling windows fresh (and doing all the updates) doesn't fix it, then you have a hardware problem on the PC.

IPod says "FireWire not supported" when connecting with a USB cable

Hello all. First post ever. I am trying to connect my Nano (1 gig) to my Windows Vista. (This use to work flawlessly) Whenever I try to connect my iPod to my computer via a USB cable, it says "FireWire connections are not supported please use USB cable provided blah blah..." It is strange because I have never used anything but a USB cable with my iPod. I've tried everything, resetting via Menu + select, putting it in Disk mode. Seperate PC's including an XP PC. Anyone ever had this happen to them? Please help!!
Thank you,
Ben Roughan

This message appears to be a hardware issue, and cannot be fixed; the iPod likely needs to be replaced.

Connect MacBooks via USB Cable/OS X Lion

I have a simple USB cable and I would liek to use it to connect two MacBook Pros with each other so that I can use the healthy one to scan the failed hard drive of the other. Is that possible? If so, how?
Also, I would like to know, whether there are any good reasons for spending money and upgrading from Snowleopard to OS X Lion?
Thanks for the advice!

You need to use a FireWire cable to connect the Mac's put one in target mode (hold down the T key while restarting) and then make your connection. My advice is to upgrade to Lion if your system meets the minimum requirements.

HT3500 I cannot connect Macbook (OS 10.6.8) to Epson XP 400 wirelessly. It works when connected to a USB cable. Both printer and Mac are on the same network and Norton/symantic is OFF. The Epson will not show up in "add printer". is off.

I cannot connect my Macbook to Epson printer XP 400. Both are on the same network and Symantic anti virus is disconneted.
Add printer does not find the Epson. All works when I use the USB cable.

Further information on my question about the epson wireless printer and macbook.
It seems that the epson xp-400 works wirelessly only with 802.11n wireless network not with 802.11g or earlier.
Does anyone else know about this. I read it on the epson support site for epson xp-400.
Also epson xp-400 will not work wirelessly if it is already connected to a computer with a USB cable.

Desktop software crashes when I connect Bold via USB cable

I start version 5.0 of Blackberry Desktop Software. All the icons come up. I then plug in my Bold, the desktop software picks up the PIN number, and then I get the window that says Desktop software has stopped working and will shut down.
I found the instructions for a clean uninstall of the desktop software. I followed them and then reinstalled Desktop manager. No change in the problem.
Desktop software was working just fine until I got a nasty virus. I ended up installing a disk image from several months prior to get rid of it. Ever sense the new image, I can't get the desktop software to work.
Any suggestions? Thanks.

I visited that link a couple of times, but it hasn't been of much use because the thing about my problem is that my phone is connecting and disconnecting rapidly, but works with other laptops with the same usb cable just fine, also if I connect another USB cable such as my hard drive it works great. What I don't get is why does my phone connect to other computers with the same USB cable well but not mine, and when I connect something else to my computer it works just fine too. What can I do now?

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

HP 5510 printer - can it be connected with a USB cable

I have a brand new HP5510 that will not connect wirelessly to my Compaq computer. I would like to connect it with a USB cable, but none was provided and there is a adhesive sticker over the USB port on the priunter that graphically says, "No USB"!
I don't care how I connect, I just want it to work!

Why can't my g3 work with my car stereo while connected with the usb cable? It works via the bluetooth, but I get no song info on the radio.

Any ideas?

Thank you for reaching out to us, jmush. There are so many options to listen to music from cars nowadays. It's awesome and really convenient. Unfortunately, some features may not work correctly due to software both from devices and headunits. While, bluetooth can display your phone name and contacts, it may not display song ID3 tags, etc.
With regards to plugging it in via the USB cable, you can try setting your phone to storage mode, and the headunit may be able to read stored music found in your phone, but it may not be compatible. http://www.verizonwireless.com/support/knowledge-base-113331/
