IPhone 4 - Camera is not Working

Hi all,
This is my 4th post on this forum reg. NOT WORKING Camera of the iPhone 4,
Today I went to Apple Store at Washington Square, Tigard, Oregon.
I talked to one of the employees that the problem is :
- New iPhone,
- Manufacturer International Unlocked phone, I bought it from Dubai, UAE.
- Everything fine but both Cameras not working,
- I did restore & reset the phone twice & the installed software is 4.2.1
The employee said he has nothing to do because we are supporting ONLY AT&T & Verizon iPhone ( iPhone sold only in US ).
I tried after that to restart the phone 5 times (pushing & hold the upper ON button for 10 seconds ) & the first thing to do is to switch the camera.
My Camera now working fine & I hope all do to get same.
Thanks for all.

I had the same problem, and the first time I tried to restore, it did not fix it. Then I tried restoring it to a previous backup of my phone (I had about 4 different backups), and the camera works again. Hope this helps.

    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.

  • Iphone 5 camera is not working soon after I downloaded ios7.  Camera is frozen and shows a blur picture.

    Hi Apple,
    Can you tell me if there's a reason for my camera not working on my iphone 5.
    Soon after downloading ios7 , the camera's front picture has frozen and shows
    blurred picture . The app itself is frozen also  , can't bring up photos from photo album .
    Also I reset the phone and still the camera is not working .
    please advise me as what to do next .
    Regards.
    Reggie.

    Hi Patoraffo,
    I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera is not functioning
    - 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 tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    - Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    - Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-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. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop 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.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Camera is not working on iPhone 4S since IOS8 update

    Hi since updating to IOS 8, my camera has not worked on my iphone. I know its the update as the camera works in other apps such as snapchat. When I click on the camera app, the screen just freezes and goes blank. I can occasionally get a picture on video mode, but when I swipe to picture mode I just get a blank screen. Any suggestions? Thanks.

    Update. The camera works for a few seconds after a hard restart then just goes to black.

  • My Apple iPhone 4S camera is not working

    Hello friends,
    I have brought a iPhone 4S from USA one month to india.  All apps are workaing well but camera is not working. Actually problem is that when i take picture without flesh its good photos but after starting flesh of camera there is no photo, i mean very dull or can't recognize  the photo seems white. As i know that iPhone's camera is excellent with 8 MP but not good photos as 3 MP of other mobile photos. This is my iphone problme or not good quality of camera. Please give me good suggestion, how can i take good  photos without flesh or with flesh. Hope this community will help me to short out that problem.
    Thank You
    Alok

    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.

    Yes it does, although I wa a minute faster than you. To see if someone is parroting you, or that they just posted at the same time, look at the head of the post and it will show you the data and time of the post and who they were responding to. Looking at that first saves some misinformation in future posting.
    You'll see some posts where there will be 5 posts all in the same minute sometimes. Answer posts late at night and you won't see as many.
