Flash / flashlight not working since ios 7 update

I have an iPhone 5. Since I've updated to ios7 I have not been able to get the LED light to work. I've tried photo and video, and I've tried the dedicated 'flashlight' button... nothing.
Everything looks right on the screen, just no action in the light. I've tried hooking to itunes and syncing, powering down and restarting things and I even got the newest update fix (7.0.2 or whatever)... no dice.
I took some photos with a flash a few days before I updated, so I'm fairly sure that my hardware isn't damaged.
Any ideas?

I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

  • IChat not working since iOS 5 update

    My iChat is not working since the iOS 5 update.  Everytime I go to log in it says: "iChat can not communicate with the AIM account..."  Is anyone else having a problem since the new update was released?

    Hi Chris,
    Does it read login.oscar.aol.com in the server Setting tab  ?
    (iChat Menu > Preferences > Accounts > Server Settings)
    Hi bryanfromcottonwood,
    In Previous versions iChat was set up to automatically change the Server Name fro AIM logins when starting or turning Off SSL.  (it tended to look like the leading "s" appeared or disappeared).
    IT Changed from login.oscar.aol.com to slogin.oscar.aol.com
    There are suggestions that this does not happen now.
    It is not known if this is done deliberately for "Security" or an error in the Update file.

  • HT4623 My sounds for such things as Netfix, or ABC Shows, etc does not work since last update.  How do I fix that?

    Sound not working since last upgrade. Get no sound with Netflix or ABC, NBC,etc. worked fine before last update.
    How
    do I fix this?

    Hey Janetna5,
    Thanks for the question. Does restarting your iPad help the issue?
    Restarting your iOS device
    1. Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    2. After the device has turned off, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.

    If not, is it possible that your side switch is toggled to mute sounds? See this resource for information:
    Volume buttons and the Side Switch - iPad User Guide
    http://help.apple.com/ipad/7/#/iPad9940e758
    Mute notifications, alerts, and sound effects. Slide the Side Switch toward the Volume buttons.
    The Side Switch doesn’t mute the audio from music, podcasts, movies, and TV shows.

    If you're expecting Apple to respond on this forum, you will have a long wait. This is a user-to-user technical support forum that is only hosted by Apple. This was made clear when you signed up. In any case, try the steps in this article to troubleshoot hardware issues (there is a camera section):

  • The icon on my message app does not work since the update, the recipient is set up to use it, my grandchildren

    The sent icon on my ipad doesn't work since the update to ISO 7.06 the recipients are set up to receive messages 

    You can try resetting your iPad by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the problem persists.

  • My I message is not working, since IOS 8.3 update.

    My messages is not working properly, since IOS 8.3 update. Message are left hanging as undelivered. When I tap on "try again" nothing happens. Even messages to known contacts with I phones, appear in green and does not get delivered anyway. I have reset my i phone several times to no avail. I like my I phone 6+ as a camera. All other functions are less than impressive.

  • Adobe flash player is not working since i updated to Firefox 29.

    I can not play any you tube or other videos that require flash player. I updated flash an still no video playback since i updated to FF 29. Also, when i close browser and reopen it wont allow me because Firefox is still running and i have to close it first even though it is closed.

    Crashes or other problems with certain multimedia content in Firefox (such as Youtube videos and Flash animations or games) can often be resolved by performing the steps in these Knowledge Base articles:

  • Automatic flash does not work under ios 6

    I have noticed that flash never works when set in Automatic mode, but I'm not sure that it is really since iOS6 update, I'm afraid it started earlier. Everything is ok when the flash is set to On. Does anybody have similar problem, may it be related really to any iOS update or rather some third party app that screws the functionality? The device is iPhone 4 MC603EL, iOS vers 6.0 (10A403).

    Flash plugin crashes every time it loads.
    Flash works fine here on Firefox and Safari (actually 10.6 users shouldn't be using Safari as Apple doesn't support it anymore)
    You said you reinstalled OS X, but that only does OS X unless you first wiped the drive of all users (and their data!) and programs.
    So your issue is likely a corrupted Flash user cache file or user permissions issue in your user account.
    Since you uninstalled and reinstalled Flash and the problem continues, that would suggest it's the cause.
    It can likely be confirmed by logging into another user account.
    You can delete your Flash cache file in the Apple menu > System Preferences also use the OnyX routine in the Step by Step fixes should clear other cache issues.
    Also run through this list of fixes to eliminate other issues (like failed user account permissions) as you generally tune up your machine.

  • Playing Slowmotion video over airplay does not work with ios update!!!!!

    after upgrading last ios , airplay to shoot slowmotion video does not work.
    I was expecting it to be fixed with recent update, but still not working!!!
    I use it for education at my clinic - which is essential, and how come apple does not fix it at all?
    or apple should give downgrade option at least.
    FIx it, fix it, fix it!
    Main purpose of puchasing ipad air2 was to airplay slowmotion video to big screen and i  am quite disappointed with my purchsing ipad air 2.

    As the original poster, I too had issues with my iPhone 4 (4.2.1) and Apple TV 2 playing nice. The Airplay icon was visible for music, and worked perfectly. However, when watching a video, purchased through iTunes, only the "audio" option would be selectable for Airplay. After updating the Apple TV software, everything works perfectly well. When watching a video on my iPhone and selecting the Airplay icon, one of the options is to play "video" through the Apple TV, not simply audio.
    It would have been nice to know that my Apple TV needed an update when I updated my iPhone 4 to 4.2.1.

  • App store login - not working since Mavericks update

    All,
    Since I updated to Mavericks, I find I am unable to log into the App Store. I get the login pane OK, enter my credentials, then get a spinner that waits... and waits... And never works.
    The Apple ID I am using is good - iTunes likes it fine, and I'm using it to post this. Just the App Store, and only since the Mavericks update; indeed I used the Apple ID to install Mavericks...
    Google tells me I am not the only one seeing this - but the suggested fixes do not seem to work for me. Do we know if a "proper" actual official fix wil be forthcoming?
    Indeed, do Apple acknowledge that some folks are having a problem with this?
    Anyway, in case anyone else stumbles onto this one:
    - There are many threads suggesting that deleting the network plist helps (though did not for me)
    - For some, deleting /Users/ian/Library/Preferences/com.apple.appstore.plist helps (though not for me...)
    - and so on.
    What "works" for me, albeit as a workaround, is to create a new user account on the machine, and use that to access the App Store - with the same ID etc., but this time it works. At least one time, so far!
    I'd much rather my regular account Just Worked.
    Any of the accounts (myself, wife, etc.) on the machine before the Mavericks upgrade however; they can not log into the App Store any more.
    No Idea why not; presumably "something" changed in the updates and that broke the login in some way; though why iTunes et al appear unaffected is less clear!

    Just an update to note that, after leaving it alone for a while, I tried the app store again today and it now works from my regular account once again.
    Which is nice...
    No idea what changed in the meantime, but at least it appears to be working.
