HT201412 I dropped my phone and the camera shutter will not open- any suggestions? Thank you!!

I dropped my iPhone and the camera app no longer works.  The shutter will not open, however I am able to take front facing punctures when using the Camera360 app.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

Well if the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, then you've broken your phone.  Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

  • TS4006 The camera shutter will not open and the camera screen is black front and rear ipod 4, tried force quit and reset, help?

    The camera shutter will not open sometime and the camera screen is black. It seems to open as if were switching to the rear but that also appears black? i have force quit the app and hard/soft reset, help?

    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: How to back up                             
    - 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.

  • Iphone 5 Camera Shutter will not open

    I have an Iphone 5 and the camera shutter will not open, i will not work in any other camera app either. I can open and reopen it several times and then manage to click the front camera which does work fine. I have called Apple Support (which isnt helpful) as have to pay for them to run through troubleshoot with me!!! - I have not even had the phone for a year, anyone sorted this issue or have this issue?
    I have tried all resets and again same problem!!
    thank you

    From experience you can try a restore but this usually would be resolved by hardware service. Seek service at your local "Genius Bar" if possible.

    You're welcome!  It's usually CS5 and below that has the ACR update problems.

  • My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open.

    My Creative Cloud icon is gone from the menu bar and the CC app will not open. I'm on OS 10.10.3. I've tried reinstalling and also various fixes suggested on this forum but to no avail. Incredibly frustrating to be paying monthly for a product that doesn't work.

    How to log in as root
    Use these steps in Snow Leopard and later to log in as the root user.

  • My ipad 2 camera shutter will not open

    Help!! My Ipad2 camera shutter will not open. What should i do???

    Quit the camera app completely and then try it again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try the camera app again.
    If that doesn't work ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • My mum has an iPad 1, the email programme will not open properly.  If you click on the icon it opens only for a few seconds but then shuts.  In that few seconds you cant select anything that you see on screen.  Any ideas? Thanks

  • Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have  same issue still

    I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

    Good day!
    Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    As you should see your version is not up to the task.
    You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

  • Firefox only shows untitled page and "done" in the lower left, will not open any page.

    When I open Firefox I only get an untitled tab and "done" in the lower left. It will not open any web page. I have XP. I think this started when I installed AVG 2011. I have uninstalled the avg and still can't get it to work. My internet connection is work as I am getting my email through Outlook. I recovering to before this all happened and that did not help. Also, IE won't open, so I have no web browsing available.

    A possible cause is security software (firewall) that blocks or restricts Firefox without informing you about that, possibly after detecting changes (update) to the Firefox program.<br />
    Remove all rules for Firefox from the permissions list in the firewall and let your firewall ask again for permission to get full unrestricted access to internet for Firefox.<br />
    See [[Server not found]] and [[Firewalls]] and http://kb.mozillazine.org/Firewalls<br />

    Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
    * Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
