IPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open! I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open. Any ideas?

I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.
My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open. I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.
I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.
bummer!

IPad 4 shutter won't open

I have iPad 4, camera shutter won't open. I have closed out program, restarted the program and reset the iPad and nothing has worked. Is there a fix?

Try closing the Camera app:
1. Double-click the Home button to reveal the Task Bar
2. Hold down the Camera app for a second or two until you see the minus sign
3. Tap the minus sign to close app
4. Tap area above Task Bar to return to Home screen
If the above doesn't solve the problem, do a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 seconds until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the red slider

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

IPhone 4 camera shutter won't open when on WIFI

SInce upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 the camera app's shutter won't open when on wifi. Works fine when on 3g.
I reset the phone, restored the os, turned on an off location services, etc etc and nothing works.
Anyone else have this issue or have a solution for this?

Camera shutter PROBLEM SOLVED on my iPhone 4. It looks the shutter locking is due to moisture. I dried the phone using the cold very dry air from an air conditioner outlet for one hour. The shutter began opening lickety split, better than ever before.(refrigerator or freezer wll not work!!!! - will not dry the phone internals) .
A guy on Youtube suggested drying out an iPhone 3 in the sun to solve Wifi operation problem and I decided to try on my iPhone 4. The trick worked, camera shutter opens in about 1/2 second rather than 4 or 5 seconds or never. To remove moisture from the phone, I suggest the A/C trick as more effective and safer than sun or hair drier. Other possibility could be the 2 day jar of rice treatment. RS in Kuala Lumpur

Camera shutter won't open in iphone 5

I just got a new Iphone 5 as a warranty replacement. The camera feature doesn't work. The shutter remains closed. The video doesn't work. My flashlight app won't work. I've tried a hard close on the camera app. I've tried turning the phone off and on again. The camera is not restricted. It seems to be a software problem but I don't know how to download a new driver if that is how these phones work. Please 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.

Itunes 10 Installs but won't open - Please Help

I had Itunes 10 installed working on my computer. I installed a program which also installed an older version of Quicktime which I think was version 6.5. The next time I tried to open Itunes it said I needed verion 7.5 of Quicktime to open Itunes please reinstall Itunes. Now comes the problem. I have installed and uninstalled Itunes about 10 times, everytime it install ok but does not open when I click on the icon. The itunes.exe file opens in task manager for a few seconds then closes. I have searched a few places for solutions with no avail. I have tried the correct order of removing apple programs and deleting temp folder and internet cache. I have tries msconfig but can't find any of the programs which have affected other users. I have tried creati9ng another user account for windows but Itunes still won't open. Can anyone please help. My computer is Windows 7 32 bit. Thank in advance.

No, the program I installed was Winavi MP4 which coverts video to ipod psp format etc.
Ack, that one's just as bad. It's been causing this sort of grief for iTunes users for over five years now.
What it has probably done here is drop old versions of QuickTime componentry in unorthodox locations on the PC (usually down in your operating system files). So we're going to go looking for that.
First we'll adjust some view settings on the PC.
1. From the Start menu, click Open.
2. In the Organize menu, click Folder and Search Options.
3. Click the View tab.
4. In the "Advanced settings" pane under "Hidden files and folders" make sure that the "Show hidden files and folders" option is selected, and the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is unchecked.
5. Click OK.
Now, in Computer, open your C drive (or whichever drive your operating system is installed on).
Open the "Windows" folder.
Open the "System32" folder.
What files or folders can you see in there with QuickTime in the file or folder name? (In a standard installation of QuickTime, you should see precisely two files ... QuickTime.qts and QuickTimeVR.qtx ... and no QuickTime folders whatsoever.)

My iPad camera shutter will not open

On my iPad i can not get the camera to work, the shutter will not open. There is plenty of memory and when i use photo booth the camera works on that. I have also carried out a software update but still not working.
Any ideas???
Many thanks

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.

Updated to the iOS 7 and now my iTunes Store keeps crashing and won't open please help, Updated to the iOS 7 and now my iTunes Store keeps crashing and won't open please help

I recently updated the software on my iPhone 5 and now I can't open my iTunes Store and e keypad seems really slow in responding. I have turn my phone in and off but it hasn't solved the issue. Can someone please help!

It's not a bad install of Mountain Lion. I've had the same thing happen to me, but it affected not only Mail, but a variety of other programs including iPhoto and MS Office, where I had to delete preferences, caches, and reinstall the OS as well as the program itself. I'm still having issues with Mail, so I've gone to another program.
Everything was fine upon the initial install. I restarted my iMac about two weeks after the install, and that's when the issues began to happen. I've reinstalled Mountain Lion twice, but the same issues arise.
As I mentioned above, you'll need to figure out which preferences are causing the issue, then reinstall the program, as a fresh reinstallation will do you no good unless you wipe the drive completely.
Here's a thread that helped me with iPhoto:

Itunes won't open please help!!!!!!

Please help me I installed my itunes and quicktime, but the itunes wont open. I tried redownloading itunes and I even tried to install an older version of quicktime. It opened than but wouldn't work said that I needed to have the updated version. So I reinstalled the updated versions. And again it just gives me the hour glass symbol than nothing. I do not have norton and no other programs will interfer with it. Can someone please help me?

Hey jimmymohawk,
What is the exact error message? Is it saying that Quicktime needs to updated?
This article: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93976 should help you get iTunes installed sucessfully. Quicktime will have to be uninstalled, you may have to use the part of the article "Clean up iTunes installer files on the computer," then iTunes can be repaired or reinstalled.

Getting strange messages and Logic won't open PLEASE HELP!

I haven't opened Logic for a few weeks because I have been out of town.
I just tried to open a project and got the message "logic pro has detected a possible conflict between one or more third party midi or audio drivers" and an empty project pops up with lines through all the plug-ins, etc...
When I try to simply just open Logic (NOT a project) Logic simply does not open and just sits there. (The little Logic opening window stalls on the "Searching for Audio Unit Plug-ins (Apple:AUbandpass)...)
What could be causing this?
The only thing I have done recently on my computer that is a little out of the ordinary is drag the "Preferences" folder (User/Library/Preferences) to my desktop to try and fix another issue I was having on my computer, BUT I QUICKLY UNDID this action (with the undo function) before continuing. Could this have anything to do with my current problem? I have project I NEED to open now and I can't figure this out. PLEASE HELP!
Message was edited by: Jack Q

UPDATE:
I was able to get Logic to finally open (sort of), BUT:
When I go to the Audio Units Manager it shows ALL the audio units as crashed, or "crashed validation" under the compatibility heading.
All the boxes are unchecked on the left. When I try to check any of them, it says in the grey window that pops up, for example:
"validating Audio Unit AUAudioFilePlayer by Apple:
validation result: crashed validation
updating properties of AU AUAudioFilePlayer by Apple...done."
THEN a window pops up stating: "The application Logic Pro has quit Unexpectedly" and this happens every time I try this.
Also, every time I start Logic I get the same "The application Logic Pro has quit Unexpectedly" pop-up window, along with a Logic pop-up dialogue that reads: "You are using incompatible Audio Units. Dear Logic Pro user,
you have 1 Audio Unit(s) enabled which did not pass the Apple AU validation. This may cause problems and can even crash Logic Pro or lead to data loss! Please check with the manufacturer(s) for updated versions. We recommend disabling these plug-ins in the AU Manager." with the buttons: Start AUmanager or Ignore.
AND, even more odd, regardless of what button I choose Logic continues to open to the arrange window.
Is there anything I can try next? I am going insane over this...

IPhone 4 Camera shutter won't Open

I Bought an iPhone 4 a month ago from the USA
and now I live in Saudi Arabia
Everybody Says that it's a Hardware Problem
and The Carrier Supporter here in saudi arabia is Mobily
and they Don't fix iPhone's
So What can I do ??
Please Help
information
problem : Camera doesn't work
iOS 4.1
iPhone 4
Operating system : Windows 7
If i Bring My iphone to The same Place That I Bought it from
Will They Replace My iPhone or fix It ??
Thank you

I'm sure if you brought it in & explained your situation they'd replace it or try to fix it. You could also call Apple Care & perhaps they would mail you replacement. I personally would call Apple Care & most likely they will suggest you update to latest update but ask first whether that would jeopardize returning it....I don't think it should but I'm a cautious person
