I accidentally took a picture of my wallpaper!

As I was trying to turn off my iPhone, somehow I accidentally took a picture of my wallpaper.
I am not sure how I did it, but I have the evidence in my camera roll.
How did I do that?

Thanks! I was able to reproduce this phenomenon!

    hey good day. i recently made a back up on my phone. then i took some pictures and videos. i accidentally restored the phone. some pictures and videos including pictures from my third party application were all gone. can i still have those back?

    No. If you restored the device to an older backup, then the device was brought back to that date and time, which was before those photos were taken. When you restored the device, it deleted everything off the phone and replaced it with the earlier information.

  • Accidentally took picture with cover over lens, did I hurt the camera (iphone4)?

    I have a phone case that includes a cover for the back lens. I took a picture with the cover on, and flash went off, and I have a very close up picture of the back of the cover. The cover also is over the flash. Did I mess up the camera doing this? It's an Iphone 4 Thanks

  • Installing pictures as a wallpaper

    Hi all,
    I would like to create a little application to install
    pictures as a wallpaper. First I would make the app to get the
    screen resolution and decide which version to show (800x600;
    1024x768 and 1280x1024) but that shouldn't be a problem (I think)
    On the screen would be a few thumbnails and one big version
    which is selected at the moment with a button "set as wallpaper". A
    simpler version would be to include an instruction 'right-click on
    the picture and set as wallpaper' but apparently right-click menus
    aren't shown in the previous applications I made (or is it just a
    setting?) A cross-platform solution would be great but I get the
    feeling that it requires dedicated authoring on PC, OS9 and OSX
    since it's interacting with the system settings.
    I'm not an experienced Director user but maybe you figured
    that out already...
    Big thanks in advance!

    I've done this before using the DirectOS xtra from
    DirectXtras:
    http://www.directxtras.com/DOS_home.asp?UUID=1691016
    It worked finre for Mac and PC. Also you should use the
    BudAPI xtra to get the file pathnames. Took a little work figuring
    it out, but it works well.

  • I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions  that I forgot the awnsers to.what do I do?

    I got an 15 dollar iTunes card for Christmas. I took a picture of the card code to redem the card I accomplished that but when I try to download an app that cost money it asks me two security questions  that I forgot the awnsers to. Than I click the forgot security questions than it sends it to my email but that's the problem I do not get any email.

    You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions; ways of doing so include clicking here and picking a method for your country, and filling out and submitting this form.

  • How to find out what time I took a picture

    A big monster truck's bumper went up onto my car's hood at the grocery store the other week and I snapped a picture of it. Now the lady is claiming that I decided to park my car underneath hers and that my car was not there when she parked. I have my receipt showing I what time I made my purchases but I need additional proof with what time I took the picture.
    Does somebody know how to look up what time a picture was taken?

    I would also recommend leaving the shot on the iphone untouched (downloaded to a PC is ok). There is EXIF information encoded inside the image that records the iphone's date/time (this is in addition to the file system information that the other poster I beleive is referring to). It is also changeable, though one needs more expertise to do so. The reason I recommend leaving it there is some techniques of getting shots off of cameras (i.e. phones) may remove that info or alter it.
    But how does the date/time matter -- clearly the event had occurred, how will a shot after it occurred indicate which came first, your care or her's?

    I took a picture using camera plus app. The photo shows up in my camera roll as a thumbnail; however, when I tap to view the photo it comes up as a gray box. I tried downloading, emailing, and copying the picture, but it always saves as a gray box. Can anyone help me?

    Hi Giorgiovdb!
    Unfortunately I cannot help you; all I did was test for you.
    I did an upgrade over my Lion install with Mountain Lion which went fine. I just tested icon view in my Finder on different files and folders and here in my installation all stays fine; good readable like in column view!
    The only thing you might try is change your Font in Finder and set it back to the original afterwards!
    I quickly Google'd how to change fonts in the Finder as appearantly there's no obvious gui item for it:
    http://usermanifest.wordpress.com/2012/07/06/osx-finder-title-bar-font/
    Try to see if it brings you anywhere!
    At my post all fonts act normal after my upgrade to Mountain Lion; I don't do a clean install unless I really have to!
    Goodluck!

  • How to determine which camera took a picture?

    Hi,
    My parents both have Canon Rebel digital cameras and they travel to national parks and other places where they take a lot of pictures. Inevitably, their pictures get jumbled up on their hard drives and then they argue about who took the picture.
    Is there a way to determine which camera took a picture with Aperture (or iPhoto)? Also, is there a way to sort the pictures, based on which camera they came from.
    I'm hoping that cameras have an IP address like a computer that will allow me to sort the photos.
    Thanks for your help!

    In iPhoto make a smart album with camera = "the camera you want"
    All the photos taken by that camera will be collected into the album

  • I took a picture and add it to a contact. Now that picture only appears on the contact list but I can't find it anywhere else in the ipod and I can't share it. How do I recover it?

    I took a picture a few days ago and I linked it immediately to a contact. Now I'm looking for it in order to share it but it doesn't appear on my pictures, I can only see the small version linked to the contact I assigned it to. Is there a way to recover the full version of that picture in order to share it? Thanks!

    - Did you sync after you took the picture?  If yes could you have copied it to your computer and then deleted it from your iPod?  Have you looked on your computer?
    - Have you tried resetting your iPod?  Nothing will be lost:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

    If you mean the metadata embedded to a phone, many photo applications support this, such as iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom.
