HT201412 Why does my camera freezes on the iphone 4S?

I have a 3 month old iphone 4S. The camera never immediately opens; it's frozen. This has happened since the phone was new. I went to the (no so) genius bar at the Apple store and they told me it's a software problem. I updated my system software to the latest version. HELP!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • TS4436 Why does my camera freeze then blur when I switch it to rear?

    My camera hasn't been working for over a year. It is starting to bother me because I cannot use the rear side of my camera. I have gone deeper into this problem and a lot of people have the same problem too. I went to apple a few weeks ago and they told me to reset. It did not change anything. I really want to get this fixed because I take a lot of photos and that's hard to do if your camera doesn't work. My camera freezes then turns blurry when I switch to rear. I want to solve this problem asap. Thank you.

    Are the source/destination patch controls correctly connected?

  • Why does firefox 4 freeze on the 1st result page of google search engine

    I updated to Firefox 4 yesterday and now every time I use the google search engine my screen freezes on the first results page and will not allow me to click on any of the links on it, saying that it is not responding before eventually the screen goes white.
    I tried to find a solution on the Firefox Support page but the only solution relates to McAfee Site Advisor. As I do not have this installed and never have I was wondering if it would be possible for you to tell me how do I fix it?
    Thank you.

    Hi, i had the same problem, and I also use Bullguard, I contacted them, just received answer, (in about 20 min). It is incompatibility of FF4 and bullguard (they know about it, and fix will be released soon), and probably most of the other antiviruses, as I see this is very popular problem. The solution though is very simple : in firefox disable addon "Bullguard Safe Browsing". It works. Or alternatively open bullguard go : antivirus - settings - safe browsing (unchek that). For those not using bullguard i would recommend to check their addons in FF and if there is any from your antivirus try to disable it for now.

  • Why does my messages app on the iphone put 6/7 random contacts who I haven't messaged at the top of the list of people to message?

    In my messages app, let's say I sent a text to my friend 'John'. By right, his name and text should appear at the top of the list of messages, right? But instead, my phone decides to put let's say 'Mary', 'Sophie' 'Luke', 'Paul', 'dan' and 'Michelle' all on the top of this list instead. All the messages to/from them are and have been empty/deleted with weeks and i haven't contacted them in weeks either. But my phone still puts them at the top of the list, and the time stamp usually state the current time on my clock at that time. So Even though I texted john seconds ago, these people all remain above his name in my messages, why is this does anyone know?

  • I have a Iphone 42 and want to transfer my photos to my PC why does my computer not recognise the Iphone when I connect it to the pc?

    Can any help. I want to transfer photos on my Iphone 4s to my PC, my computer will not recognise the phone when I connect via the USB port to the PC.  Any Ideas would be appreciated.

    Do you get any response from the computer when you plug the phone in? I'm guessing that you are going into Computer to see if you find the phone? If you go into Device Manager, do you see any errors in the USB area?
    See this support document and pay particular attention to step 5 regarding drivers. http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

  • TS3367 why does my screen freeze while using face time?

    Why does my screen freeze on my iphone 4 while using face time? I am connected to wi-fi and internet is working fine.

    Is your iPhone storage capacity full or close to it?
    Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset is similar to computer restart.

    why does my camera get purple streaks and then freezes

    My friend and I both work in a hospital and we go in out of signal continuously through out the day.  Our problem is so bad that by mid afternoon our phone batteries are down to 20% as the phone is continuously searching for signal.  Im on EE and their only advice was to reset the network settings, thats fine when you only have to do it once but Im doing it up to 20 times in 1 day.  It makes me hate my iphone for the first time in 5 years.

  • Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) for CS5?

    Why does Adobe refuse to provide the latest version of Camera Raw (like my Canon 6d) that could be supported in Photoshop CS5 or earlier?  Its like Adobe saying you want a Camera Raw for you Camera then buy CS6 which is insulting to your customers.

    Adobe's policy to to provide free updates (not upgrades) for currently shipping software, which means the current Photoshop CS6 and Camera Raw 7.x. Development on Photoshop CS5.x and Camera Raw 6.x stopped when Photoshop CS6 started shipping. While it may appear on the surface that's it's a ploy to force users to upgrade to the most recent version when getting a new camera, it's really a policy based on the technical issues of trying to provide backwards compatible software for application that are no longer being developed.
    Camera Raw is a plug-in for Photoshop and as such, it is dependent on the Photoshop SDK in which it loads...it's also dependent upon the system level APIs being used by the applications. Could Adobe keep upgrading old software? Yes, but it would be a technical nightmare.
    Your alternative is simply use the free DNG Converter if you want to use new cameras that weren't in existence when your old software was developed. Pretty simple really and it's not designed as insult to Adobe customers...it's actually an affirmative program to make sure current users are provided support.
    The problem of new camera support for old software is really a problem caused primarily by the camera companies spawning off new cameras whose file formats are undocumented and proprietary. If the camera makers adopted a standard file format that could be opened in standard applications (kinda like DNG) then tis problem would be mitigated. You really should place the lion's share of the problem at the feet of the camera companies...

  • Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved?

    Why does my camera roll say I am using 682 MB of storage but I only have 12 photos saved to it?

    If it's really a couple dozen pictures, I would expect it should be under 100 MB.
    You can try resetting your iPhone by simultaneously pressing and holding the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons until you see the Apple Logo. This can take up to 15 seconds so be patient and don't release the buttons until the logo appears.
    Try again to see if the used space is still so high.

  • Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

    Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

    It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
    And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

    Are you getting a four language screen telling you to restart?  That's a kernel panic.   That can often happen due to RAM or data corruption issues.   See my FAQ*:

  • Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

    Why does my computer freeze and curser dissapears?

    I had a similar problem after upgrading to Windows 7. The problem seemed to be that there was a dialog box that opened
    that was not visible on the screen and it was blocking the print completion. Try this. Open the Adobe PDF Printing Preferences and clear the field "Rely on system fonts only, do not use document fonts." When I did that it solved my problem.
    The unseen dialog box seems to be the fault of Windows 7, in my opinion.
