Faint brown dot whenever I'm using my iPhone 5's camera

There seems to be a faint brown dot whenever I'm using my iPhone's camera.
Nothing wrong with the front camera, just the back camera.
I've tried wiping the lens but to no avail. And I also checked if it's a screen protector issue but it's not.
It only happened recently (unless I didn't notice it before). But I looked through my photo album, the dot only started appearing a few weeks back.
Is it an internal hardware issue or something else?
Thank you so much.

Going to go down to the stores tomorrow and see if they can help with my situation.
Thanks so much!

  • Our Iphone 4S is full of pictures which transferred to my Ipad through Icloud.  Everytime I delete pictures on my iphone it deletes the pictures on my ipad.  We are using my iphone as a camera.  We are in Croatia and it is hard to find someone to answer

    We are in Croatia and are having trouble getting help for our problem.  We have an Ipad and an Iphone 4S.  I have been using the Iphone as a camera.  The icloud has been transferring pictures to the ipad.  Now, my iphone is full of pictures (180) and if I delete a picture, it disappears from my ipad as well.  We need some advice as to how we can save the pictures in the ipad - maybe to another file?  And then be able to delete the pictures from my Iphone without deleting them from the Ipad.  Or, if that is impossible.  What accessories should I look for so that I can download pictures on a device, then delete my pictures from the iphone and start all over again.  Any help is much appreciated.  Thanks from 2 very confused people.

    Hi croatia2014,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    If you have photos in your Photo Stream that you want to save to your iPad, you can save them to your Camera Roll using this method:
    Manage My Photo Stream contents. In the My Photo Stream album, tap Select.
    Share, print, copy, or save photos to your Camera Roll album:  Select the photos, then tap .
    You can find these steps in the iOS 7 user guide here:

    You may also find this advice useful:
    If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.

  • Why is it when using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes turn black or have blue stripes on it? What's wrong with it and what should I do?

    When using my iPhone 4s front camera, the screen sometimes become black or have blue stripes on it! Is this a hardware or software problem? Can this issue be covered by my warranty? I bought it inmid-december last year, and this problem came at around Late January. It's a rare case, only came about 5 times, but this really concerns me. What's wrong with it? Thank you so much for your concern.

    thank you for your reply
    I brought it to the store and they agreed to give me an exchange. thank goodness!
    I have a new question: I've now transferred my back up datas to my new iphone. They wanted me to register, so I registered (as my old apple ID) and then they asked if I want to restore backup, I did that too. after the restore back up process, the only things that aren't there were my music and apps! what should I do to get them into my new iPhone?

  • Can I use old iPhone 4S in Europe for WiFi, w/o cellular service? A few Qs not found in Support Community-

    I wish to upgrade to iPhone 6, but first want to know if I can use my iPhone 4S for camera, iMessaging and apps (i.e. What’s App) on Wifi after it is disconnected from U.S. Verizon network?
    iPhone 4S, iOS 7.1.2 (reluctant to upgrade to 8.1.2), Verizon, U.S. only
    Mac Mini, OSX 10.9.5 (reluctant to upgrade to OSX Yosemite)
    I’ve read all of the old posts (2011 thru July 2014), but still have questions.  This is what I understand:
    Upgrade iOS and apps with iTunes, before transferring to new iPhone 6
    Change the name of my old iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201997 (if I wish to name my new iPhone what my old one was called)
    Enable airplane mode, then re-enable just wifi
    Activate new iPhone
    Transfer data to new iPhone http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2109
    QUESTIONS:
    Q: When connected to WiFi in England, Italy and Sicily - do I keep it in Airplane Mode even though it has been disconnected from Verizon and I will have an active iPhone 6 on my Verizon account being used by my husband at home in the U.S.?
    Q: Will there be a problem sync’ing to iTunes in the future, or my Mac Mini?  Will it conflict with my new iPhone 6?  Or is it just considered a different device, once it has a new name. 
    Q: How can I message my husband in the U.S. with the iPhone 6 from Europe using my old iPhone 4S on Wifi only?  Do I use my iCloud account, like I do from my Mac Mini to my iPhone?  Or can I set up a new iMessage account on the old iPhone 4S
    I appreciate any insights and answers.  Thanks in advance!
    Daphne

    It doesn't have to be that complicated, Verizon iPhones come unlocked, just tell VZ you're going on Holiday/Traveling and suspend the service, no need to pay for service if you're not going to be using it. Pick up local SIM cards in the countries of your choosing, pop them in, re-activate iMessage and you're set!
    I recommend getting a SIM card from the Three network in England, they have great EU roaming rates and free like-home roaming in Italy.
    Set your phone's region to match the country you're in, it'll save from some headaches when calling local/international numbers.
    To answer your questions,
    1. If you choose not to have a local SIM card, it is good to keep your phone in Airplane mode to save battery.
    2. Make sure the two iPhones have different names to reduce sync/restore issues.
    3. If husband has an iPhone also, you can chat with iMessage/Facetime, just give him heads up about the new number you'll have. Otherwise, use Whatsapp if he's got an Android. You can activate Whatsapp with your American number or the international number if you choose to get a SIM in Europe.
    Also, Get the MagicJack app and/or Google Hangouts, both of those apps provide you with free calling to the USA and Canada using any internet connection. Google Voice is another good way to SMS across the seas.
    Let me know if you need any more tips for iPhoning across the pond.

  • Does anybody know an app which allows you to use your iPhone as CCTV

    I am wondering if anybody knows an app which allows you to use your iPhone as a CCTV camera so I can view what is going on. Please if you know any app which allows you to use your iPhone as CCTV camera. Thanks I am really grateful.

    There are serveral brands and models of security cameras, baby monitors and nanny-cams that have apps in the the app store.  They are designed to accomplish exactly what you are describing.  Each brand of camera has its own app.

    Hi I am using an iphone 4 and its was working fine.  Presently its giving browsing error.  Whenever I am trying to browse internet by using safari or any other browser it retruns with an error message "server not responding" Even the same thing is happening with youtube also. The worst part is am able to check my mails, able to chat and so on... only thing not able to browse through the browser.  I have tried restore option also.  This is happening with both Wlan and Data con. too
    Please help...

    I do not really know much about this kind of problem, but i may be your internet connection.
    If you are on your own #G network then:
    Go to Settings > then enable "Airplane Mode". Count to 10 and then disable it.
    Then wait patiently until you get a good connection and then try again.
    If you are on a nearby Wi-Fi connection then:
    Go to Settings > Wi-Fi > then disable then enable after counting to 10. Make sure that you are connected and then try again.
    If all else fails, then you need to contact your provider for assistance.

  • HT4245 i use a macbook pro which came with facetime i have an iphone 4S as well. whenever i use the wireless on my iphone i can facetime with ease however when i use the same wireless for my mac to facetime the call always gets disconnected.

    To use factime on your Mac, I believe you will need to use your email address to do so instead of your wireless number.  Since you can't make calls on the Mac.

  • I have firefox in the bar at the bottom of my mac. It always opens when I doubleclick on it until yesterday. Now it gets a small brown dot at the base of the fox's tail and nothing happens.

    What does it mean when I doubleclick on my firefox icon and it doesn't open? The icon also gets a small brown dot.

  • My iPod show that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APp

    My iPod shows that my battery is receiving energy and that it is "charging," but it doesn't actually charge. The battery never increases; it only decreases. Even when I have it physically plugged in and charging, it loses battery whenever I am using an APP or anything. I'm thinking that the chip that receives the energy is damaged or worn out. Is there anyway to fix it without going to the store? My USB chords is fine. It charges other iPods fine. Including a second generation iPod which means my 4th generation iPod should not have an physical battery problem. Any suggestions? Thank you so much!

    - See:      
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    If the iPhone is new and you take it apart, kiss the warranty goodbye.
    Are you using a case that may be blocking or partially blocking the iPhone's proximity sensor? If you are using a case, remove the case before the next call to see if the same occurs without the case. If not, get another case.

  • Since last few days everyday whenever I start using Keynote its getting updated. I don't understand whether Apple is pushing updates everyday ? If no then why its consuming almost 400   MB data on this update ??

    Delete Keynote from the Applications folder then install again from the Mac App Store.

  • IPhone 5s turns hot whenever i enable/use 3G

    Hi ALL, my iPhone 5s turns hot whenever i enable/use 3G. Especially when using IM+, eBuddy, etc. What is the reason for this and is there any remedy for this?

    This is a known bug with 64 bit iWork apps.  The work around is to disable iCloud data syncing with these apps:
    Settings > iCloud > Documents & Data and set the Pages, Keynote and Numbers switches to OFF.
