Holding volume down key to focus camera not working

IOS7 on iPhone 5
If I hold my "volume down" button whilst in my camera it is supposed to focus the camera but mine just takes photos?? - please help.advise

Click the icon to launch iTunes and immediately press and hold down the shift key, keep holding until asked to create or choose a library. If iTunes starts normally you're doing it wrong... Perhaps new batteries in your wireless keyboard would help.

Volume keys on wireless keyboard not working

I just re-installed Snow Leopard on my iMac (late 2009), and now the volume keys are not working any more. Now the volume down key brings up desktop, volume up brings up several gadgets... I can not upgrade OSx because somehow whenever I do it, it brick the iMac. So I have to figure something out without having to upgrade OSx. Any idea anyone? Thanks.

Hello yinming,
That should be fixed if you can get your iMac up to date. Try downloading the Combo update and install it that way instead of the traditional way through Software Update. The link below will get you started with downloading the install file and then launch it to update.

Lumia 720 volume down key

Recently the volume down key on my lumia 720 has stopped working. It works sometimes if I restart my phone but again stops after a while. I am also unable to soft reset the phone because the volume down key is not working. It does not seem like a hardware issue because it works sometimes. Please guide what can be done for this.

If its a hardware problem then you will need to have it checked out at your local Nokia Care Point.

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. Please help

IPad 4 switches off when i am using it, even when battery is fully charged. Restore function (holding down both buttons) often does not work. Cannot power up iPad. I have updated software, restarted computer, but no success. I did restore the iPad about 8 times during the past 2 weeks. Just completed another restore. iTunes says the the iPad has been restored and will restart automatically and appear in iTunes when it is ready. That was 30 minutes ago. iPad still won't start. I am looking down the barrel of yet another fruitless restore. What a crap product.

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down until you see the Apple logo.

Old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo) camera not working with Mavericks

I have an old macbook pro3,1 (2.4 GHz Intel Core Duo, I think 2007), builtin camera not working and I think it is related to mavericks update.
Anyone had the same problem, and if yes what is the solusion?

Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
    b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
     Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
     COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
     computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
     screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
     Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).
4. Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion, Mavericks from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless.
Reinstall the 10.9.2 update: OS X Mavericks 10.9.2 Update (Combo).

Mah nokia lumis 710 camera not working... what to...

mah nokia lumis 710 camera not working... what to do????

When you try to open the camera either by hitting the camera key or going to the app list, what happens?
1. Reboot the phone. Press the volume down and power keys together for 15 seconds until the phone vibrates and starts up.
2. Check that the software of the phone is updated.
3. Reset the phone by going to Settings > About. This deletes all the content of the phone so make sure to create a backup copy of your files. See "Reset and restore your phone" in this link to backup important data on the phone: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2606900.
If above steps would not help, bringing the phone to a Nokia Care Point is what I'd suggest: http://www.nokia.com/global/support/locations/

Camera not working AGAIN

This is my second Lumia 820 in 3 months. The camera on the first one stopped working after a few days. Now the camera on the second phone stopped working. The ONLY reason I bought this phone was for the camera. It was a lot better than my BB camera but at least that one worked. All I get when I press the camera button on the side or press the camera icon is a black screen. The functions are listed on the bottom but do not work. The touch screen to take a photo does not work. All that works is a back button on the top left that brings me to the camera roll photos. I use my camera on the phone for pictures of clients design ideas. How do I fix the camera? So far I have not been impressed with this phone. Limited apps and a camera that stops working. What is the fix for the camera besides buying a new one?

If its related to Hardware you need to visit your local Nokia Care but before that try a Soft Reset by Pressing Power + Volume(down) keys until the phone vibrates (about 8-10 seconds).

Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update

Camera not work ipad 4generation before ios8 update
PLease help

Hi Hellside,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with the camera on your iPad. The article linked below has a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions for a similar issue on an iPhone but the suggestions should resolve the issue with your iPad too.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
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.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-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. You can also tap to readjust focus while 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.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

I hope this helps.

Iphone 5 is 1 day camera not working shutter frozen.

My iphone 5 is 1 day camera not working shutter frozen, and i try restore restart but not use. now I took it to my carrier and now I have to wait 14 days to have my phone ,I feel bad about this.

That is NOT unfreezing it for me. It returns to home page now after about thirty seconds of total freeze (worsened from last night).
And now some really strange things are adding to it, like when waking and sliding to unlock, the tab is sticking for several seconds to the right before opening home page. Nobody seems to know whether apps are saved in sync for easy load following a restore. (??)
Edit to add: when I try the hard reset, it simply prompts whether I want to shut down, so I guess yes, it does finally help to exit the frozen shutter, though as I said, it releases after about thirty seconds.
One more edit: I turned my iphone off and restarted it to find, knock on wood, that the camera's working now. Will see where it goes from here.
