Curve Camera Won't Start?! Help?

the camera on my Curve won't start, every time I try to open it it says "Could Not Start Camera.  Close other applications and try opening the camera again"  The only thing is, I don't have any other applications open that I know of and no matter if I turn it off/on, take out the battery, etc the camera just won't start.  Any suggestions/solutions?  THANKS!

I have a 8320 too and it is doing the same thing after having it 2 weeks! I've tried everything in this thread and other's too and see that a lot of people are having this problem. Surely there is more information available on the cause and solutution. I can't believe there isn't anything on Blackberry's support site!

  • N97 Camera won't start

    Hello everybody,
    We I open the lenscover of my n97, the screen turns black (sometimes I see the buttons on the side, but not the option button) and the camera won't start. Also via the menu it doesn't work. The screen stays black and the only way to turn the camaera-application off is to turn the phone off.
    I haven't done a hard reset yet, because I hope someone has got the same problem and could solve it easier.
    Greetz,

    if your phone updated to the latest firmware? and you just might have to consider the first two options. make sure you take your battery card out and back up all your data. the first option will restore default settings but you will not lose any data. try that and see what happens.
     1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. )
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

  • N97 camera won't start(just a black screen)

    My N97 camera won't start just a black screen  this issue since the update to the new firmware

    ooooooooops so sorry about this, here it goes and start with the first code. 
     With all these operations I recommend you TAKE OUT MEMORY CARD and DO A BACK UP OF YOUR STUFF!!!
    1. *#7780# - Restore factory settings - resets all the settings to the default ( you will not lose any data)
    Make sure you back up your data as you will lose all of it when you perform option 2 or 3 on this list. The default code for ALL operations listed here is 12345
    2. *#7370# - Reformat your phone (out of the box, tho keep in mind that most newer nokia phones at least n series, e series and s60 based phones have udp - user data preservation so not ALL data may be lost. still it is a good idea to always do a back up of your stuff.)
    3. This you perform as a last resort. Nothing else is working.If the phone is not showing any activity, proceed with hard formatting , turn off your phone, hold the following buttons while pressing the power button. (the default code is 12345)
    hard reset - hold the following buttons *, 3 (number button) and talk/green key. turn on the phone and do not release those buttons until you see the Nokia boot up screen. once you feel the phone power up you can let go off the power button while still holding all three buttons ( for Nokia 5800XM - use the following buttons to do a hard reset, GREEN/RED/CAMERA keys pressed all at once on power up. this will only work on 5800's that have firmware version 20... and up. ) For Nokia N97 (unofficial version but works) is SHIFT /SPACE BAR / BACKSPACE while holding the power button. Again do not let go until you see the handshake screen.
    If these codes are not working the only thing for you to do is contact your Nokia Care Center/Service for assistance.

  • Lumia 720 camera won't start

    After some camera&pictures related updates (maybe Photobeamer) Lumia 720 camera stopped to start.
    When trying to open camera it opens quicly and returns back to main screen.
    Soft and hard resets are done. Does not help.
    Is this sw or hw issue?

    Hi:
    My camera worked for about a week, then it stopped working.  The exact problem:
    Both of the cameras (front and back) will open but when I touch the screen to take a photo, the software crashes.
    The phone returns to the menu window.
    If I try to take a picture with the button, the focus light comes on if I partially press.
    But if I completely press the button to take a photo, the software crashes.
    I have done both a soft reset (volume down and power until it buzzes and a complete reset (reload the software). 
    The camera continues to crash.
    Please give me some advice, I cannot return the phone to the original source as I am here in the USA  and I need the phone for work.

  • Intel iMac won't start - HELP!

    My iMac won't start this morning. I get the white screen with the grey apple,
    and the swirling progress thing, then after a few seconds I can hear
    the sound you hear when the system shuts down. like a soft switch
    going off, then it just continues swirling, still with the white
    screen and grey apple, then it restarts by itself. Then we go through
    the same routine. Tried booting up by holding C with the Leopard disc inside but nothing happens.I have just reinstalled Leopard as Snow Leopard left too many printers and programs lifeless, so I did an erase and install a few days ago. Since then I have used the Mac fine, switched down normally last night, but this morning it doesn't want to play.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks in anticipation

    Have you reset PRAM and SMC?
    Do this first
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
    and then do this, if the PRAM does not help
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1543
    The second one is basically disconnecting your iMac from power (and all cables), then reconnecting following a precise procedure.
    If that does not help, I would restart with the Snow Leopard installation disc (insert disc and start up with the C key held down). You probably did an installation of Snow Leopard over your existing Leopard system the first time. This time, erase it completely first, then install Snow Leopard. I assume you backed up your data already.
    When you get to the Installer screen (after selecting language), go up to the menu bar. Under Utilities, select to run Disk Utility. In the sidebar, select the internal DRIVE, not the volume indented under the drive. Go to the Erase tab. Name the volume +Macintosh HD+ and set the format to +Mac OS Extended (Journaled)+. Erase the drive. Since you have the drive selected in the sidebar (not the volume), it will also re-partition the drive.
    It should take less than on minute to complete the process. Quit Disk Utility to go back to Installer. Run the standard installation onto the blank internal drive. Hopefully, a fresh Snow Leopard install on a reformatted/re-partitioned drive will work better for you.

    Hello,
    On Windows, NLS_LANG can be set in the registry or as an
    environment variable.
    You can test with the commands :
    set NLS_LANG=AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1
    rwbuilder.exe
    Then,if it works, change the NLS_LANG in the registry
    (HKLM/Software/ORACLE/Homex)

  • My ipad won't start, help?

    Help....original iPad, 16 gig, won't start.  Tried re-start (holding home and power buttons for 30 secs) won't come on.  Fully charged.  Perimeter of screen shows some light, nothing else.  PLEASE HELP!!
    P.

    Try a reset:

    2. For about 10 seconds
    3. Until you see the Apple logo (very important)
    4. Ignore the red slider

  • EMac won't start, help please

    I am having two problems with my eMac. The first, much more pressing, problem is that it won't start. I was having problems installing the newest version of quicktime, so on the quicktime forums I read to Repair Permissions in the Disk Utility, so I did this, and everything seemed to go well, but when I restarted my computer, it would not load. It is stuck on a light grey screen with a dark grey apple logo in the middle. My keyboard won't repond to the point where i can't even open the disk drive. My second, much less urgent problem is that my disk drive doesn't recoginize any cd's, even ones that I have used with this computer before. this problem really means nothing at this point, since my computer won't start anyways.
    If anyone could help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Yes, I tied all of the suggestions for my problem.
    You see a blank, gray screen
    1. Make sure the latest firmware for your computer is installed. Check Apple Downloads for the latest versions. (Yes, it is installed)
    2. Disconnect all peripheral devices, except for the Apple keyboard and mouse. This includes ADB, serial, USB, FireWire, SCSI, and PCMCIA devices. If this resolves the issue, connect one device at a time, restarting after each one, until you've determined which device is causing the issue. (All are disconnected)
    3. Remove third-party hardware upgrades such as memory (RAM), microprocessor upgrade cards, and PCI cards. If this resolves the issue, add back one item at a time, restarting after each one, to isolate the issue. Note: Apple does not provide technical support for Mac OS X when used with third-party microprocessor upgrade cards. (Don't even have any third-party hardware upgrades)
    4. Start up from your Mac OS X installation disc and check the hard disk with Disk Utility or, if necessary, fsck. (CD-drive will not even open, so can't do this)
    5. If you are comfortable doing so, reset your computer's Power Management Unit. Specific directions are available elsewhere in the Knowledge Base. (Can't find how to do this on the anywhere)
    6. Additional tips may be available in this document. (Document also had nothing that worker)
    I will be buying a macbook regardless after my income tax comes in, so I don't deem the computer as worthy of spending any money to fix, but this was a pretty expensive machine to just discard, so I would like to try to get it running again.

  • I book won't start- help requested ASAP

    I have had my Ibook for about 3 years now. Today I was burning a disk in the Itunes applicatoin as well as searching the internet. When the disk had 2 tracks to burn left, my computer shut down. Since then, I have been unable to restart it. I have tried to press the power( ON) button many times, but it will not restart. The 7th and 8th time I tried to restart it, it made a slight clicking noise. What can I do? I need to use my computer ASAP for homework and debate work. Please help.
    Thanks

  • Brand new imac won't start HELP!!

    Just got an iMac, fresh out of the box I hit the power button, everything looks normal, OS X does its normal checks, then the desktop comes up with multicolour stripes - the desktop is cluttered with all kinds of files - a darwin console opens up then an application called Phoenix starts does a few things that were too quick and then just says PAUSED in an orange box at the top and nothing else.
    I have a bluetooth mouse and keyboard so I can't actually control the thing in any way either.
    It also looks like OS X 10.5 has not been pre-installed.
    Please can someone help me with a suggestions as to what I can do.
    (I am an experienced Mac User having used them since the original SE - I've never experienced something like this before)
    Thanks

    it sounds like the iBook went to sleep during the transfer or at least it's hard drive spun down.
    what you need to know is hope that simply booting from your install DVD will let you repair the iMac's hard drive. You could also try booting holding down the Command S keys on startup and when you get to the Single User Mode command line prompt follow the directions there for running fsck to repair your hard drive.
    Do you have a FW hard drive? Can you copy files from iBook to FW and then from there to iMac?
    And, it is always nice to have a FW emergency/backup hard drive. The iMac needs a different partition scheme to be bootable from FW than the iBook does, but you can create the proper partition type etc from a Tiger Installer and put OS X on FireWire, then see if you can backup and repair your iMac's hard drive.
    MicroMat's TechTool Pro 4.5.1 is now shipping and is compatible, Universal Binary and bootable. Always good to have some 3rd party utility handy.
    If you are just starting out, you probably don't have much if anything installed yet, so you may want to just erase your iMac drive and restore to what it was. That would be the easiest if Disk Utility won't repair it.
    Instead of powering off the iBook, I would have tried to force quit whatever was running, like Migration Assistant.

  • Blackberry Curve 9300 won't start

    Hi, I was using my blackberry on low battery, listening to voice notes on blackberry messenger (another user was sending some series of voice messages, one after another), when my other phone rang I've pressed the pause button to answer my other device. When I came back to my device, I noticed it was totally dead. I assumed it ran out of battery, but after 3 hours plugged to the wall charger, I still have no sign of life from the phone, not even the led light turned on.
    So I unplugged it and try to connect via USB to the notebook, no answer either.
    Is there anything else I can do?
    Regards.

    Hi cacao,
    Welcome to the BlackBerry Support Community.
    You may need to start a software reload without the battery inserted then reinsert the battery after the software reload has started. http://bbry.lv/k9pwuZ
    If your PC is still unable to connect with the BlackBerry, try the following steps to reload your device software:
    1. Verify that your BlackBerry Device Software is installed on the computer. You can download it from your wireless provider's website in this list. http://bbry.lv/ad7CII
    2. Remove the battery from the BlackBerry. Do not re-insert it.
    3. Connect the BlackBerry to the computer with the USB cable.
    4. Navigate to the file path shown here for your PC OS. http://bbry.lv/nPyBiQ
    5. Open Loader.exe and follow the prompts.
    9. When you have clicked Finish and the application load starts, insert the battery into the BlackBerry smartphone.
    Hope this helps.
