IPhone 3GS has stopped recording video - please help

Hi - I have recently updated my iPhone to iOS 5......
I don't know if my problem is related to that fact - but yesterday the iPhone stopped recording video.....
It has been recording video fine recently (after the up-date) - but now when I click onto video record you can see the view from the camera lens fine......but as soon as i touch the 'record' button the screen freezes and it won't record and the screen is also frozen.......
I have to click on the main menu button to get out of the screen.....
Has this ever happened to anyone....?
I must admit about 2 weeks ago I replaced the whole touch screen unit - but the video recording function (and everything else) has been working fine up until now....
I don't know if it is important - but the battery went completely flat (and was charged back up) just before the video stopped working....
Any ideas or advice would be appreciated....
Thanks

I´m having the same problem.

Hi, my iPhone 3GS has many problems. Please help if you can!

Havent had my phone for even a full year yet, been nothing but problems. My iPhone will not ring or notify me when people call yet i get the missed calls on my phone after they call 10 times (which they are normally very frustrated by then). It is hard to hear me sometimes when I talk to others using this phone. I will all of a sudden cut out when they could hear me perfectly clear. Also I will be texting a message and I will type a whole message but it wont show up on the screen and after 2 minutes when it finally does its only part of the message. My camera only opens up some of the time. My switch just doesnt work. When you switch it to silent it wont work unless you hold your finger on the switch. My home button doesnt always work. I will be using an app and all of a sudden my phone will freeze and restart itself. I will lock my phone but it will not actually lock until 2 minutes after i press the button. Sometimes my screen gets stuck in a landscape position even my home screen and lock screen, kinda weird. Oh and i have had the problem recently where I will plug my charger in and it will charge on and off. It will charge and then after a few minutes it will say this charger is not supported and it will go back and forth. So i got a new charger and tried it to see if the problem was the charger and it still did the same thing. There are more little problems but these are the major ones. I know there is a lot but any help or suggestions are welcomed and appreciated! Thank you Oh my phone has also spent most of its time in an otter box so not much damage to my phone. Thanks again!!

Since you are still under Warranty, make appointment with Apple Genius and take iPhone to Apple for resolution of those problems.

Recently my iPhone 3GS has stopped ringing all of a sudden. I've checked the settings and nothing has been changed. I've also made sure the switch on the side is not on silent/vibrate too.
The other day it rang once then went to vibrate.
Anyone have any idea?
The phone is just over a year old too
Would be grateful for any help

a further message box states that Data Execution Prevention has closed the program.
Try updating your QuickTime to the most recent version. Does that clear up the DEP errors in iTunes?

Photo Booth has stopped recording Videos all of a sudden??

Hi all,
on my iMac only 6 months old, all of a sudden after working fine Photo Booth today has decided to stop recording videos.
The app launches, green light comes on and the picture/video shows, i press record and it counts down but the counter doesnt move although the picture is still there.
Press stop and it loads a black screen and plonks it in the library thing at the bottom of the picture.. Very odd.
I have trashed the Preferences and this does nothing,
Have deleted the other videos so its not a space issue?
Wondering if anyone else has the same thing???
Any help greatly accepted,,
Many thanks

Does anyone know where you can get a version of Photobooth? I didnt have any disks of the OSX lion that shipped with my iMac?

My iPhone 4S has stopped recording voice mail messages. How can I fix?

My iPhone 4S (sprint) has stopped recording voice mail messages. The phone is 2 months old and it stopped about a month ago, but it took me several weeks to realize that there was a problem as I initially thought that callers just weren't leaving a message. I have now tried to leave myself voice messages and confirmed that it's showing up as a voice mail but failing to record it. Has anyone ever encountered this problem and if so, what is the fix?

No iPhone records voicemail messages. Visual voicemail is simply an interface to the carriers voicemail servers.
Contact the carrier to troubleshoot the issue with their voicemail.

Iphone 4 has sound recording video, no sound during calls

Hi,
I'm not sure whether this is a hardware glitch or software one.I hope someone can help me with this.
The microphone seem to be picking up signals fine when recording video, however not other times.
And If a earpiece is plugged in the it can pick up sound normally.
I've tried the following:
- restore iphone
- upgrade to lasted ios
- clean audio jack port
and replacing dock connector
none of these solved the problem...
any suggestion welcome

Unfortunately the previous IOS wont be restored just your data. We´ll have to wait for the new IOS 6.1.1 which is currently being tested. Here I really verified the problem has been caused after the upgrade and It´s really a software issue because if when I answer the call I scream the first HELLOOO then the mic sensibility will be changed for the rest of the talk, so the mic or hardware is ok.
Many 4S owners are complaining not just about this specific problem but others related to call drops. We´ve got to wait

IPhone 3gs has completely died. totally unresponsive HELP!!

Hi everyone.. My daughter has an iphone 3gs. About 2 weeks ago it suddenly died! I put it on charge all night and nothing! I held the home button and power button together for 10 seconds, 30 seconds etc etc i tried dfu mode, it didnt work at all. When plugged into itunes, itunes does not pick up the device at all. Then after 2 days it suddenly came on!! I instantly backed it up and restored it from new, hoping that if it were a software issueu, this would have solved it.. Anyway.. it was working fine, untill just now! The same has happened again! I live so far away from an Apple store and i have 3 young children so would find it almost impossible to find time to get to one. Can anybody assist me further, as travelling to an Apple store really needs to be my last resort. I can see this happens to lots of people, but no one ever comments on the solution after visiting an Apple Store and was hoping someone could help. Many thanks for your time

Call Apple support...if you cannot go to a near Apple store they will offer other service options like normal delivery or express delivery if this is really a hardware issue or battery issue... try to restore as new without the data (apps / music / video) it might be the data causing the iphone not to work...

Elements 11 has stopped working. Please help?

Yesterday my computer shut down while I was working in Photoshop Elements 11. Now when I try to get back in, it reads error message "Adobe Photoshop Elements 11 has stopped working. Windows is trying to find a solution". But it never does and then Editor just closes. I looked at the forum and tried a few things people posted but nothing is working. Please help.

The editor saved prefs often get corrupted. This is because PSE saves your settings each time you close the application. Problems can sometimes occur if you don’t let the program close properly or if you launch another application too quickly whilst closing down Elements. You may need to rebuild the editor preferences to resolve any conflicts. To begin, close Elements.
Hold down the Ctrl+Shift+Alt keys and simultaneously click on the Edit button on the welcome screen. After a few seconds release the three keys and look behind the welcome screen by closing it. Alternatively hold down the three keys whilst clicking on the desktop icon for the Editor or PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe in the Programs folder. Keep holding down all three keys for a few seconds; then release. You should get the settings option.
When you see a pop up box with the words: Delete Adobe Photoshop Elements Settings File?
Click on Yes
Then wait whilst Elements rebuilds the preferences.

Hi HyperHappy
Thanks for the fla file, I just tested it out on the IDE
(flash8) and everything works like a charm.. I can scrub around
either by clicking or dragging, the volume only responds to clicks
I assume that's also correct or not?

i am using iphone 3GS and it has been locked so please factory unlock this iphone so i can use this iphone
iphone IEMI Number - 01 257400 832767 8

Iphone 3GS not turning ON? Please help

My Iphone 3GS is not turning ON.I have tried doing everything(pressing POwer and Home Button for long time etc)
Can anyone please help me in this regard?

Try plugging it into a wall outlet for at least 10 minutes to see if the battery is just dead.
If no luck, try forcing recovery mode... (you'll have to restore the device)
Press and hold the Home button and connect to iTunes, release the Home button when you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen which shows the iTunes Music symble and a USB cable. iTunes should then detect the device in recovery mode.
