Hello Kunmon,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.

Try DFU Mode Restore. Open iTunes on computer. Connect iPhone to computer with USB cable. Hold both Home and Power button, after exactly 10 seconds release the Power Button, keep holding the Home button until iTunes recognizes iPhone in Recovery Mode, usually about 20 seconds time. If the iPhone screen is black, blank this is DFU Mode. Click the Restore button of iTunes.

Hi Darr4425,
That's not good! We definitely want your device to work properly at all times. What email application are you attempting to open? When did the issue start? Do you receive an error message when the application force closes?
Thanks,

My Ipad2 is iPad 2 Wi-Fi 3GS,IOS 5.0.1 (9A405),doesn't work on Philips DC390 .but my father's Ipad2 32GB 3G IOS 5.0.1 9A405works on it.please help

Dear sir/Madam,
Hi! My name is Nazım . I live in North Cyprus. I’ve got Apple Ipad 2 and Iphone 4. My Ipad2 is iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G: Serial number: DQTFFVC1DFJ3.,IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), model MC775LL .my itunes is last version. I bought my ipad from America.
I’ve recently bought Philips DC390 from Apple Store in Oxford Street. Althouh Philips dock 1 seemed to work properly (charged and player). The second dock isn’t compatible with my ipad2. It didn’t work(play),It charges though.
I sent e-mailed to Philips.uk for assistance. They recommend me to reset my ipad2 to see if this clears any issue, but it does indicate a fault with the unit. It didn’t work either.several time I reset my Ipad2.
In addition to this, I contacted Apple support.UK on 22nd December 2011. I informed about the problem was likely to be with the apparatur.However I tried my father’s Ipad2 last night.software is the same my Ipad2’s IOS 5.0.1 (9A405), to my surprise it worked properly. I’ve already reset my ipad2 several times but it didn’work.
I would be grateful if you could make me some recommendations to sort out the refered my problem.
Your Sincerly
Nazım NURİ

So, my DNS is comming from my ISP. It's the same list of IP addresses for all our other devices that are working: 2 PC's 2 Laptops, a PS3 and a WII, an iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0 and an iPhone 4 running IOS 5.0.
The ONLY two devices that are having issues are my iPhone 3gs running IOS 5.0.1 and my iPad 2 running IOS 5.0.1.
Soooooo, there is something incompatible with my ISP's DNS and IOS 5.0.1?

IPhone 4S camera all of a sudden the shutter won't open, camera freezes.

My camera shutter won't open, won't take pictures, then freezes when I hit any other camera buttons.
This started happening a few days ago, before I updated my phone to 6. But it's still not working.
Tried hard reset shut off. Didn't work.

Well, there are other troubleshooting steps to take that are outlined in the User Guide.

Duplicates of a song on iPhone 4s but not in iTunes. Unable to delete duplicate. Won't play and won't let you swipe to delete. Any ideas on how to do so without resetting the phone?

I have duplicates of a song on an album. One of the duplicates is grey with no album cover. When you attempt to swite and delete, the track will not delete and will not even play. I've contacted iTunes store and the person I received the support email from told me that it may not be downloaded. I emailed him back and explained that no there is no download for that song in my itunes store on my phone.
One I never received an answer back which shows you how well these people do their job.
Two: I really would prefer to have a solution to this problem without having to delete all of my music from my phone or resetting my phone. Because this duplicate isn't even showing up in my iTunes, it's only showing up on my phone.
When I attempt to find it in my itunes it plays fine. But when I try to find the file to delete it, it is no where to be found. I've tried everything that I could think of to get rid of it. And I don't want to leave the album/artist off my phone because I do enjoy their music... And I have the microsoft sync in my car.
Anyone got any ideas on how to do this without resetting the phone and/or taking my music off?

If you have all your music on the cmputer then i would connect up my phone uncheck the Sync Music option and apply.
This should take all the music off your phone .Then you can resync the music back on to it.
If this doesn't work maybe a restore to factory settings and start from scratch is the way to go

IPhone 3GS - changed ATT plans and it doesn't work as well anymore, etc

Ok. I've had the IPhone 3GS for about a year. a month or so ago I changed plans to the $15 for 200MB plan. Whether this is a coincidence or not, since then, a) when I scan for email it just spins and spins and then says the password is not correct for my email address.....Ive inputted it multiple times, it recognizes it then, but still has a problem. After refusing connection about 10 times, it finally gets tired of fighting me and downloads the email. It also will say can't "connect to the server" and then after multiple attempts it will. I got this plan because ATT said I was averaging about 35MBs a month. I change the plan, and last month I had 132MBs and in 6 days this month I had 73MBs. .....when I'm using it much less because it's too much of a hassle to sit around for 10 minutes for it to comply. I called ATT a couple of weeks ago, they had me do a couple of things, but it didn't work. So is this an ATT problem or is it an Apple problem????? thanks.

Somewhere back then I figured it out, but don't recall how I did it now

My iphone 4s camera is not working shutter does not open

my iphone 4s camera is not working tried the hard reset too anymore suggestions

I am also getting this problem in between though its not consistent. As iPhone 4S handles background applications, when this problem comes,
1) Close the camera,
2) Double click on home button to get the background applications,
3) Hold any of the icons to get them wiggling
4) Then close the camera app by clicking x on the icon.
5) Now try to open the camera, it shall work.
Repeat the same whenever you face this problem.Hope this helps
Thanks.
