IPhone 4.0 Camera Locked Up
I have taken 6 photos, with and without flash. After the 6th photo the camera has locked up.
When I open the camera app it looks like the camera has just taken a picture and the lens is shut. I can pull my camera roll up and access my pictures. I can email them and do all the other things that have options.
No other button works.
Help,
Keith
If not successfully try the other actions of:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

I bought an unlocked iPhone in NY in 04/23/2010, and it and it came locked
I bought an unlocked iPhone and pay U$ 499 + tax in the Apple store in NY in 04/23/2010, and it came locked.
What should I do to solve this problem ?All iPhones sold in the US are carrier locked to AT&T.
You can buy iPhones with out a contract from Apple but they are still carrier locked to AT&T, you just don't have to sign a two year contract.
As far as getting an iPhone unlocked it is up to the original carrier to unlock the iPhone. However in the US AT&T does not unlock the iPhone. So if you want to use the iPhone with another carrier you are out of luck. You can sign up with AT&T and paying roaming charges to use the iPhone that you currently have. That wouldn't be cheap so I would suggest selling the iPhone and purchasing an iPhone in the country where the iPhone will be used.
Here is a list of all the iPhone carriers:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937
If you are in Brazil there are 4 carriers for the iPhone. Claro, VIVO & TIM all offer the iPhone, and they are apparently locked to the carrier, so it would work only on that carrier. However according to the document Oi sells the iPhone unlocked, so I would suggest contacting them if you are interested in an unlock iPhone.
On a side note, maybe we should have a communal answer that we can just cut an paste... -

Very hazy blurry pictures/camera locking up with iPhone 4s
Hello,
I am a "newbie" iPhone user. I recently purchased the 4s through Verizon.
a white 32 gb mode. I am using icloudl. I'm having problems with either the camera locking up after taking a few photos and
the photos coming out very hazy/ grainy looking. It worked fine the first few days but the
last 4 days the picture and video quality is getting worse and worse.
disappointing to say the least but I'm wondering is this something I can
fix or a software update?
Thanks for any advice you can give,
SaralynneGood Afternoon All,
Yesterday I went to the Apple store/genius bar. First of all I had the clear protectant film on the front and back of my phone under a two layer incipio case. The rep that helped me stated there should be no film on the back of the phone as it causes reflection from the flash causing haze with pics ESP at night/darker environments. I admit I was skeptical and he also said that my case while nice did not have a large enough opening for the camera lens/flash even though it was made for iPhone 4 the changes made to the new camera calls for a sizable difference in the opening to allow for the flash to work properly.
I purchased my case at Verizon and they told me no such thing, so I was a bit skeptical but I picked a case with a larger opening approx a 1/2 centimeter larger than my current one and removed the film from the back of my phone then I asked the rep if he would go into the back area of the store, turn the lights off and take a few pics to be sure that was the problem and he did! Viola! Problem solved. I'm really surprised that was it but last night I took a bunch of pics in low level light and they turned out great, no further issues. The brand of the new case was "uncommon" most of the cases for 4s in the apple store had a much larger opening and the inner part of the opening was also blackened. There were a few other brands too "speck" was one but if you are buying from a website just make sure you get one with an opening of about 1/2" H x 3/4" W to. Accommodate changes made to the camera.
Hope this helps others. Have a great day :0)

Windows XP can no longer "see" my iPhone as a camera/imaging device
can't sync photos from iPhone to computer; Windows XP doesn't even see it as a camera or imaging device. Weird, since iTunes is able to synch music/contacts.
No matter how I check, Windows XP can't find the device:
control panel --> scanners and cameras - nothing!
My Computer --> devices with removable storage - no iPhone
Computer Management--> Device Manager - no iPhone or scanner/cameraUPDATE - I think I've resolved my problem and that it is related to having my iPhone "passcode locked".
1. I connected it and unlocked the iPhone, synced music, but had the problems I noted in my original discussion post
2. I disconnected the iPhone, closed iTunes, reopened iTunes and reconnected the iPhone (making sure it was NOT passcode locked before connecting it) -- everything works fine.
3. now I can get back to my original issue, was to figure out how to get only my NEW iPhone captured photos to synch, or at least have them date ordered. But that's a subject for another post.
BOTTOM LINE - passcode lock may be the key for those who are having problems with their PC not able to see the iPhone as a camera/imaging device -
I go to take a photo and the camera either shows repetitive blurred image or is just black. The entire iPhone 6 128 is locked in the camera freeze. The only way to use the phone is to shut off power and reboot. Is anyone having this problem on the iPhone 6?
i have been having the same problem today. I have however narrowed it down further: when I am zoooming in on a shot, take the shot, then slide to another mode like from a still shot to video (without uzooming),= freezing. I am taking my iPhone back to apple to see what they say if I don't an answer on the forums here. Not happy with this btw!

Help with Video camera lock ups on K7N2 delta
hi everyone,
finally got new computer working after formatting and reinstalling windows and the bare minimum of software.
but a small problem arose after drivers from supplied CD Rom installed my Sony DV camera locks up.
i haven't even installed any video editing software yet.
before installing drivers, when i double clicked the camera icon in my computer it gave me access to the camera i.e i could press play on the camera and view it on the computer.
now since the drivers have been installed the message that i get is 'please wait while device initializes'.
then 'program not responding' is displayed.
my configuration is
K7N2 delta
AMD XP2000+
crucial 512mb PC2700
Radeon 9200
belkin firewire card
trust V92 modem
any help would be much appreciated as the new computer sole purpose is to video edit.
cheers everyoneI have the same problem and have a very old MoBo 266Pro board, I have a different camera it's a Samsung dp-s103 or something like that, whenever I try to capture some movie the program lock ups and I have to =restart the PC. I tried taking out the PCI cards and left only the firewire PCI card I was able to capture about 16 minutes of video, but it still locks up. I will try the latency patch and a bios upgrade. Will then see how everything turns up. I've also tried this on an old computer with an Intel chipset, 733Mhz processor and it worked fine, so this must be either a chipset problem or MSI didn't manufacture these board well.
Best regards
PS. I think that my new system will be a pure intel one :( -
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. -
We are in Croatia and are having trouble getting help for our problem. We have an Ipad and an Iphone 4S. I have been using the Iphone as a camera. The icloud has been transferring pictures to the ipad. Now, my iphone is full of pictures (180) and if I delete a picture, it disappears from my ipad as well. We need some advice as to how we can save the pictures in the ipad - maybe to another file? And then be able to delete the pictures from my Iphone without deleting them from the Ipad. Or, if that is impossible. What accessories should I look for so that I can download pictures on a device, then delete my pictures from the iphone and start all over again. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks from 2 very confused people.
Hi croatia2014,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you have photos in your Photo Stream that you want to save to your iPad, you can save them to your Camera Roll using this method:
Manage My Photo Stream contents. In the My Photo Stream album, tap Select.
Share, print, copy, or save photos to your Camera Roll album: Select the photos, then tap .
You can find these steps in the iOS 7 user guide here:
My Photo Stream
http://help.apple.com/iphone/7/#/iphbfeb468fc
You may also find this advice useful:
If there are any photos in My Photo Stream that you want to keep, save them to your Camera Roll, then back up your Camera Roll and other data using iCloud or iTunes.

My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?
No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
Good luck. -

Hello jimmy ii
The only option is to contact that person to have them remove Activation Lock from the iPhone. They can do it online and do not have to come to you. Check out the article below for more information.
