Front camera froze and iPhone unable to turn off.

So I downloaded this app called Gif Boom which creates a series of pictures from your front or back camera and then turns them into a gif. picture. Well I have used the app three times and had no problems. Today I was making one and decided I didn't like gif. picture I made and pressed the X icon which deletes the pictures and goes back to the main menu. When I pressed it the icon was highlighted but the application didn't repsond. It stayed there and is frozen. The camera is obviously working because you can still see yourself moving when you look at it. I tried turning it off. Nothing. I tried exiting out. Nothing. Should I take this to the Apple Store? I have no idea what to do. I advise anyone who has this app to IMMEDIATELY delete it.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Have you tried a reset?

  • I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S. It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

    I tried to update the software for my iPhone 4S, 16 GB to the most recent version (8.1?).  I don't know what I was updating from, because I can't access that, but it was whatever was installed on it (I got it about a year ago, so probably 6.something). 
    It froze, and now won't turn off, or on, or sync with my macbook plus, which is what I have always sync'd it to.  (I backed it up and sync'd it right before I tried to update the software.)
    Since it originally froze almost 3 hours ago, it shows a white screen with the apple on it and a line underneath.  When I try to sync with my laptop, it says it needs me to enter a passcode on the phone, which I can't enter because the screen is frozen.  So I'm unable to access the iPhone portion of iTunes.
    I have tried to turn it off, with no luck.  I have tried rebooting my laptop and syncing, but I still get the same result.
    Does anyone know how to fix this?
    I really wanted to wait to update the software, but I was having internet connectivity issues for the past 3 weeks, and Sprint suggested updating the phone's software.
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Hi NWL1,
    Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the iPhone won't update and is stuck. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you resolve or isolate the issue.

  • Track Pad on T400 - Unable to turn off

    I have a T400 and am unable to turn off the track pad.  I have tried Fn F8 which does not work, and have tried looking for trackpad options in control panel (Win7 64bit) but cannot find any.
    95% of the time I am using a mouse, but want the option to turn the trackpad back on for the 5% of the time I will need it.
    Any help would be greatfully recieved, but please be aware that I am not majorly tekkie.

    @bouncy,
    If by using Fn + F8 and choosing to disable the trackpad did not work. Try doing the following.
    - Uninstall Power Manager
    - Uninstall Power Management Driver
    - Uninstall UltraNav driver
    - Uninstall Hotkey package
    - Reboot
    - Install Power Management driver
    - Install Power Manager
    - Install UltraNav driver
    - Install Hotkey package.

    Hi there bananas321,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.

  • My iPhone 3GS just turned off and then when it started to turn on all these words came up. what do i do now?

    I had just woken up and looked at my ipone i answered a few texts and after i did that it just went black then the apple sign came up and it started to turn on after about 5 seconds of the apple sign all these words came up like rows of sofware information but all over it says panic and on the bottom in brigter bold letters it says panic: We are hanging here...550 far: 0x i have tried plugging my iphone into iTunes but it isnt connected i dont know what to do

    This can be caused by faulty battery. Make Genius reservation and take the iPhone to Apple Store for free quick battery diagnostic testing.

  • HT4623 My Apple 4s phone is frozen up and I can't do anything on it.  I was updating my IOS to IOS7 as prompted to on the screen when I reached the part where it asked for an backup E-mail address.  I supplied this and it froze up and won't even turn off

    I received a prompt on the screen of my Iphone 4S to update my IOS to IOS7.  I clicked on "Start" and went thru and supplied all the requested info.  It asked me for an alternate back-up  E-mail address, I entered this on the screen and when I clicked on "Next" it would go no further on this setup. Now I can't do anything because it's like it totally froze up.  I can't even turn my phone off nor go forward or anything.  What can I do to turn my phone off and totally stop this update???

    Hi Genoc728,

    If your iPhone is unresponsive and can't be turned off, you can reset it. See this article for the steps, and other helpful troubleshooting tips for an unresponsive device:

  • Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

    Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

    Hi,
    I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
    It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
    I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

  • My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery"  on its screen.

    Hi! My iPhone 4S was turned off when the battery got empty, and when I put it on the charger it didn't charge at all. I tried restarting it (on/off home button for 10 sec) nothing happened except it kept giving me the "charge battery"  on its screen. I tried with different chargers, still dead! What's weirder is that my sister who has iPhone 4 experienced the same today! No we don't live in the same house!! Does anyone have the same problem?

    On belhalf of my fellow volunteers, the answer is, "We'll try our best." 
    My advice is to try not to treat this like it is a paid service provided by compensated professionals.  Ask nicely and one of the nice folks here might take some time out of their weekend to offer advice.

  • My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    My iphone 5 died so I plugged it back in to charge and it will not turn on. It will turn to the screen with the apple logo and black screen then turn off again. Any suggestions?

    I leave it charging until it gets back to full, usually it turns on after a little bit of time after plugging it in, but all its doing is going to the apple logo screen and going blank again.

    my ipad 3 froze and now is not turning back on what should i do?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem. My Ipad 3 was a bit slow/unresponsive, and then it just went blank. I pressed the home button to see if it would come back on, and it was extremely slow, but it did show me the home screen. However, then it went off and wont come back on at all now. I have tried charging, tried the reboot, connected to itunes (which cannot detect the ipad) and nothing is working.
    The ipad is only 2 months old, and no damage!
    Any suggestions? Thanks
