  • Iphone4 Camera Shutter doesn't open. only for 32gb?

    Iphone4 Camera Shutter doesn't open at all.

    I found iphone4 32gbs only have this problem..

    anyone has got same problem on Iphone4 16gb?

    And what was the point of starting up another thread on exactly the same topic especially when you have already got responses in the original one. Please don't start new threads and or posts on the same topic as it only serves to cause confusion, duplicate answers and make it difficult to have a cohesive discussion. I have already responded to you in your original post about my iPhone 4.

  • HT1430 Camera Shutter doesn't open

    My camera shutter doesn't open. I can't take picture and make video call on Skype. I tried restoring it to its factory setting, still no positive result. Hope you could help me

    But it is faster to get the replacement at the Genius Bar.  If the iPad is defective, within warranty and not abused you will walk out with the replacement. Just make an appointment so you do not have to wait.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • My camera shutter doesn't open

    My iPhone camera shutter will not open. Occasionally, the reverse camera shutter will open, but when I hit the button to reverse it back it just blurs out the picture--I don't think it ever switches around. I have powered off the phone using the top button and have done a reset by hitting both the top button and the front button at the same time. What else can I try? I am about 200 miles from the nearest Apple Store.

    Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  If you've tried ALL those steps and the problem persists, you'll need to make the trip to Apple.

  • HT1688 What should I do after my iphone 4s' LED light won't turn off and the camera shutter won't open after it was dropped in salt seawater?

    How can I TURN OFF the LED light and TURN ON my camera shutter on my iphone 4s after it was accidentally submerged in seawater?

    Welcome to Apple Communities
    Water damaged the device, and you can't solve it. Take it to an Apple Store

  • Camera shutter doesn't open

    The shutter will not open on my iphone camera. It works fine if I switch to the front-facing camera, but when I switch back to the rear camera the shutter is closed.
    The same thing happens in instagram. I have closed the camera app. I have done a reset.
    Does anyone have any other suggestions? Or does it sound like a hardware problem?
    Thanks.

    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.

  • IPod touch camera shutter doesn't open

    I click onto the camera icon and the shutter thing just doesn't open

    Try powering the iPod off and then on again, then opening the camera app.  Or, delete it from the multitasking tab, and then try opening it.  Good luck!

  • 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.

  • I have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why? :(

    have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why?

    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.

  • Front camera of my iPhone 4 doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open.

    Yesterday I have bought an used iPhone 4, so I don't have any guarantee. But the front camera doesn't work, the virtual cover doesn't open. I have read that it is something like a hardware fault. Now my question is, if Apple has to repair it because of the hardware fault?

    they dont do repairs..is much easier for them to give u new handset..which u have to pay for if is out of warranty.
    dont be affraid is not a full cost of handset.is be about £139.00-£169.00
    i use to work as an technician engineer in a phone shop still have access to warehouse with replacement parts.
    if u live in UK and willing to pay £50 i can repair it for u.i'm still cheaper than apple store

  • After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open

    After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open so I cannot use the camera at all.
    I have tried most things suggested in the web like hard/soft shut down, reopen app, restore from backup. Any other suggestions? It should be a software problem right?

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.
