Iphone 3gs camera shutter not opening......

hi......Plz. help..... ihave iphone 3gs......am open camera but shutter not opening.... am also reset , restart , restore......iphone.....but same problem....?

Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
Try clearing your Camera Roll.
Else, return it to whom you purchased it from.

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
Best of luck.

Camera shutter wont open to take a pic....???

camera shutter wont open to take a pic....???

The most popular thread on this has nearly 25,000 views. Below is the follow-up post I put on that thread and all these related threads.
If it was just a hardware problem, Apple should fix it for all of us. But I can't quite understand how it's a hardware problem when the problem is not common to all my camera apps; the Apple camera app does not work at all now, but I can take regular pics with other camera apps I have.
But still, trying to switch to FaceTime/self-portrait mode results in total failure and the need to restart....if it was just a hardware issue I'd expect it to not work for all apps.
ADDENDUM TO INITIAL POST:
I initially posted: "keep talking it up on Discussions and send Feedback." Now I encourage us all to SEND FEEDBACK.

QUOTE: "Dear Apple, many, many problems are being reported about camera malfunctions. One thread in Discussions ishttps://discussions.apple.com/thread/2595775?start=30&tstart=0 that has over 60 complaints and there are several other threads about this, so something is obviously wrong.
Thanks for your attention to this. Apple is a fine company and hope it continues that way. The camera is a key feature of these products: the iPod Touch and iPhone. Not having the camera work properly is ridiculous. Some software fix needs to become available.
Sincerely... END QUOTE

Ipod 4th Gen camera shutter wont open

I recently updated the Ipod to ios 6.1.6 but the camera shutter wont open and when i save photos from apps like safari it saves them then instantly deletes the photos I just told safari to save. this is my first apple product and to be honest with this much problems i'm actually considering a more Linux based device. but if the apple community can help me in anyway to fix my expensive device it would be appreciated.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Front camera shutter wont open anymore after upgrade to iOS5.1

i have a less than a month old ipad2...after upgrading to the iOS 5.1 the front camera shutter wont open anymore...did the reset but it didnt work.will downgrading to the 4.3.3 make it work again?? please help...

You can't downgrade, it's not supported. Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

Iphone 4 camera shutter not opening

hi all,
actually my iphone 4 camera shutter is not opening. im facing this problem after update,and is the replacement policy is also liable in inda , please help me out thanks in advance

I read it, in that case (holding sleep/wake + home until iphone reboots): I have both rebooted and resetted my iPhone several times. Still without camera shutter.
I have also removed and again installed several apps that use the camera, without success.
The last time I'm sure the camera still functioned properly was January 1st.
I have also force-quitted all apps from the background.
Also, the flash on the rear of the phone does not work as it should. I have an app that enables it (Light as SpringBoard name), but the app does not respond to the on/off toggle and the flash just goes on and off randomly (not as strobe!) and uncontrollable.
(I feel like David Attenborough saying camera shutter so often, "And this is a camera shutter: ...")

IPhone 3G *Camera Shutter Not Opening* Possible Solution?

Curious...
Does anyone know if you were to take out the old camera and install a new replacement camera, would that fix that shutter problem? Would the shutter re-open again???
or would the problem still exist??
Would apprciate a response or answer to this. Thank you in advance!
Note I know there was already a forum on this question, but I haven't seen anyone suggest this possible solution. And NO I do not have warranty. So I cannot get this iPhone replaced.

Camera shutter wont open. help!

Restart device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).

Camera shutter wont open

I used the camara in my new phone a couple of times, no problem, I got it on Tuesday 7/9, no today I was going to take a pic and the front camera shutter does not open, or it shows a black screem. I have tried face time and the front camera works. I did reset settings and no luck, I forced the app close and nothing, I have also resarted the phone several times with no luck.
Is it time to go to the apple store for a new one?

1. Backup and restore the phone in iTunes, using the backup
2. Restore as new, without using a backup. If this doesn't help, there is a hardware problem that needs warranty service.
