Headphone remote not working after iOS 8.1.2 update on iPhone 5

Following iOS 8.1.2 update my iPhone 5 no longer responds to the inline remote on my headphones.  Remote still works fine with my laptop so the problem is specific to the updated iPhone.  I am using SkullCandy Earbuds.  Any ideas?  Thanks!

Hello Nathan,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with your iPhone's camera. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
BobbyD

    Internet not connecting after ios 7.0.2 update on iphone 5

    Hi there PompasJr,
    I would recommend taking a look at the troubleshooting steps found in the article below.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting

    Camera isn't functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

  • Facetime, iMessage, and Mail not working after iOS 6.1.3 update

    I've had my iPod touch 4th generation since Oct 2010 and never updated the iOS until very recently. Before the update, Facetime worked consistently and easily. After I finally got around to updating my iOS a week ago, my iPod has come into severe issues.
    99% of the time, I cannot send or receive Facetime calls. If I try to make a call, it doesn't make the dial tone and eventually it just says "Connection Lost". Nothing happens if someone is trying to send me a call. I only Facetime with my boyfriend and his iPod hasn't changed since Facetime was last working. HIs other iPod is also updated with iOS 6.1.3.
    I never used iMessage before the iOS update, but because it says on Apple support that it uses push notifications like Facetime does, so I tried it. Most of the time, I cannot send or receive messages. I rarely used Mail before the update, but I never had a problem with it. Now, when I enter my gmail password, it keeps saying my username and password are not correct, even though I haven't changed my credentials.
    I only use my iPod for Facetime, iTunes, and Pandora. I don't need iMessage or Mail, but I am testing with those to see if this can help find the root cause of the problem. Pandora works smoothly so I know it's not a wifi connection issue. I have searched for remedies on end and tried:
    1.  Reset, turn off/restart, turn Facetime on and off, etc.
    2. Changing the DNS server address to 8.8.8.8, which made Facetime work normally for one time and never again
    3. Updating my Apple ID password online, then signing out and signing back in
    4. Creating another Apple ID with my other gmail account. Maybe 1 out of 10 Facetime call attempts, I can generate the dial tone, but when my boyfriend clicks to receive the call, it says that I am unavailable. iMessage has about the same success rate. It seems when I miraculously can send or receive texts through iMessage, I can manage to get the dial tone when I try Facetime, though the call cannot go through.
    This is of course extremely frustrating and I highly regret the update now. I was hoping for an improved iPod after the update, and now I have a near-dud! I did make sure to check my location and date and time, and both are correct (US, Central time). Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

    I spoke too soon. I tried Facetime again last night and had the same problems. Another factory reset did not work. I think it may be time to just call Apple support.

  • IPhone5 rear-facing camera and flashlight not working after iOs 7.0.3 update

    This is my first time posting here so do forgive me if I leave anything out.
    Problem 1
    I updated my iPhone 5 to iOs 7.0.3 (on 10/22 when it released). Since then, my rear-facing camera has stopped working. When I open up the camera, it's just a black screen and I cannot take a picture or video, but the other elements on the screen are still functional: changing flash from auto/on/off, turning HDR on/off, switching from video/photo/square/pano, but still the screen remains black. When I switch to the front-facing camera though, it works fine. I can take pictures and video through that view.
    Problem 2
    The second problem that's happened as well is the flashlight in the control center is greyed out, can't click it at all.
    Attempt to Fix
    I brought my iPhone 5 to a Genius Bar. Guy took it to the back to open it up and check if there were any physical problems with the phone and camera. He came back, found nothing. Unfortunately my phone was no longer under the one-year warranty, so in order to fully replace the phone with a new or refurbished one, I would've had to dish out $200 something and I wasn't trying to do that just yet. So we decided to just wipe it clean and restore. After we did that, everything was working, the rear-facing camera, the flashlight, things were perfect. I left the Apple store, got on the train to head home. I opened up the camera to take a picture and long behold, it stopped working again. I got home and did the exact same thing the guy did, wiped my phone and restored. Everything was working again. I held my breath though... 1/2 hour later, same problems with the rear-facing camera and flashlight came back.
    Just as a note, not sure if it helps, when I use third-party camera apps/photo editors, when I try to use the camera within those apps, it freezes and closes.
    I don't know what else to do. It seems the only fix is restoring my phone and having the camera and flashlight work for a few minutes only to go back to the same problems. The Genius Bar didn't help. I'm not trying to give up $200 something when this is something that happened clearly because of the iOs 7.0.3 update. It was working perfectly fine before that.
    Any help is appreciated! Thanks!

    WORKAROUND FOUND ! Download and install "Awesome Camera" app and take a picture with that app. After 1-2 seconds of standby, it will work. Then you can go back to default Camera app which would work again.Please let me know

  • Earbuds with Mic and Skip Functions not working after IOS 6.0.1 update?

    I have earbuds with a mic and skip buttons functions and noticed  that mic and the skip music functions stop working after updating to  IOS 6.0.1. Now when I talk on the phone the mic on iPhone itself is working and not the mic on my earbuds. Also when playing music he skip functions has stop working. Has anyone noticed these problems?

    Phone restart > if that doesn't work then do a reset of the settings. Full restore would be the last option.

  • Mac mail not working after ios 10.9.5 update

    After updating to OS X 10.9.5, both of my email accounts are only sporadically sending email through Mac Mail.  About 50% of my outgoing mail is rejected by my mail server Comcast.  My email works on my iphone.  My families' emails using Comcast work.  Seems the latest ios is the culprit.  How to fix?

    I have the same problem as you, I reported it here:
    Re: Mail app drives me crazy, does not sync since last update 10.9.5
    But the only answer I got is the same link to Troubleshooting.
    Thank you Eric for your answer but this does not solve the issue.
    You have to understand that EVERYTHING is IN ORDER!!! Yes, the emails sometimes leave the outbox, suddently, after beeing blocked for a long time.
    I also lost a lot of emails like that, they went to Outbox, never left, and were erased.
    Apple HAS TO DO SOMETHING and stop saying that it is our connection or settings that wrong. If it can work, it means all is in order. I really believe this comes from the last update. Please give us a solution, make it work!

  • HT4623 iPhone 4 not working after iOS 6.0.1 update

    I have just updated my phone to iOS 6.0.1, however after the phone updated, it no longer switches on and I just have a grey screen. When I try and plug the phone into iTunes, it does not recognise anything. Is this likely to be a problem due to the updating iOS6.0.1 or has something else liekly to have broken on the phone and it's just pure coincidence that it happened when I did the update?

    I would try a restore in itunes then set up as new iphone (dont use restore from back up) pain I know but it can do the trick.
    Still no luck Apple Store get them to sort it or New Phone Please!

  • Itouch4 front camera not working after ios 5.0.1 update

    Please help

    I have the same problem and I've tried everything!!! There are sooo many people with this same problem but Apple can't help anyone that isn't under warranty anymore!!! This is a big problem for many people that Apple should recognize and offer replacements or solutions for. It's only after the update that my camera stopped working (and this is also true for many other ipod touch users). This issue is obviously caused by Apple either making faulty hardware, software, or both. I really hope that they will resolve this issue soon because it is not fair for those who are no longer covered by the warranty.

  • Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.0.2 update on iPhone 5. Why?

    I just bought my iPhone 5 two days ago and it was running iOS 6.1.3. Camera was working perfectly and just after the update, I took like 2 pictures, and at first when trying to take a picture, almost half of my screen was in pink. After few attempts it just showed a black screen and app just freezes. Not only on camera app, buy on other related photo apps. Really wanted to know what's happening.

    Resting the phone to factory setting restoring phone nothing seems to work

    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):

  • IMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade! Feedback pls

    iMessage not working after iOS 5.1 upgrade, anybody experiencing this as well? Feedback please......

    You shouldn't have to hard restart and it shouldn't have anything to do with your router.  If anyone else runs into this problem try resetting the network settings on your phone.  All the steps to do this can be found here http://tekshot5.com/ios-5-1-imessage-fix/
    Edit: Some of us don't have the option of resetting our DNS servers.  I run my own for example for caching purposes.

  • TS2621 why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    why my outgoing mail server not working after ios 6 upgraded

    Ask your carrier to send you the settings over wifi and then install them that way.
    I'm on giffgaff and I used the giffgaff app from the store to sort this out.
    Overall though I must say Apple has let itself down on this as why isn't something written in the ios script that keeps the original settings??
    Very Poor indeed and I held off using Apple products for years for this very reason!!

  • Rear camera stopped working after iOS 7.1.2 update- iPhone 5

    My rear camera is not working after I did 7.1.2 software update this morning. I see a blank screen when I click the camera app.

    So my camera was fine until yesterday and pressing on the lens did not work so I went back to looking for solutions:
    http://www.cydiaios7.com/back-camera-not-working-after-ios-7-update-solution.htm l
    The article is from last year (IOS 7), but solution 1 worked for me. Here are all the solutions from the link:
    Solution 1
    Hold the Sleep button until you see the Slide to Power Off slider
    Slide it and then immediately hold down the Sleep button again until you see the Apple logo
    Solution 2
    Open your Settings app
    Tap General
    Tap Reset
    Tap Reset All Settings
    While you won’t lose any of your data you will have to re-enter all of your passwords and personal settings again
    Solution 3
    Hold the Sleep and Home button simultaneously until the Apple logo appears
    Let go of both buttons at the same time and let your iOS device boot up as normal
    Solution 4
    Try a different camera app instead of the stock one – downloadCamera Awesome, free of charge, from the App store
    Install and both cameras should work properly.
