Iphone 4 Camera Not Loading After 5.1.1 Update

Just updated my iphone 4 to 5.1.1 software yesterday. Since then the Camera app will not open, it is stuck on a shut shudder. I am able to facetime with the camera until I try switching the camera to the back camera- then the facetime session ends. I have tried closing the app, restarting my phone and restoring it-twice. I don't want to believe it is a hardware issue, since this only started after I updated. Looked under restrictions to see if that was the problem, it was not.  Any suggestions?
Thanks for your time!

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these steps in order until the issue is resolved.
If they fail to resolve the issue, take it to Apple for evaluation and possible replacement.

  • Earlier messages will not load after 8.3 ios update

    The earlier messages will not load for imessage.  The clock turns as if it is going to load but it does not load and then the cursor drops to the bottom of the imessage...

    Not unless you've reported it directly to them (posting it here does not accomplish this as we are just users like you). I don't believe this is a problem with the update or a widespread problem; it seems to be a problem with individual devices. I'm not experiencing it on my 5S. The next step in user troubleshooting would be to back up and restore your software to see if this resolves it.

  • IPhone 5 camera not working after iOS7.2

    after updating my phone to the 2nd iOS7, a week or so later my camera has completely stopped working. After looking all over these discussion pages I've tried EVERYTHING except erasing the phone & restoring it. other than that, NOHTING has worked!!! I've read where this is a "hardware" issue? I don't know for sure. My flashlight is also not working at all!! I want to take it to the iPhone store, but my screen has 2 small cracks at the top. taking it "out of warranty" so I have read. and that it will be aroud $230 for a new one, cheaper than what I have paid, YES! but... is that a set price?? or do they have certain prices for certain damages? I just need some answers!!!!

    I had the same problem it's definitely a software issue because the camera would sometimes work in camera apps but now I could not switch cameras at all.
    I may have found a solution of course I probably won't get credit for thanks to Apple.
    I believe the problem arises from a bug when the camera is used in lock mode, try restarting your phone with the home and power button. Then open your camera in locked mode and set the flash to auto. Maybe take a few pictures, switch the camera back and fourth, turn HDR on and off, but make sure the flash is set to auto before you unlock the phone. Heck even try playing with the flashlight.
    After I did this in locked mode to my surprise my camera and flashlight are now fully functional after I have unlocked it with the password. I'm not to sure what triggered this bug but when I first got iOS 7 and played with my phone some how I unlocked the lock screen without putting in a password. Just by using the camera and the notification and control Center, I unlocked the phone which might of triggered the bug.

  • IPhone 3GS Will not boot after iOS 4.3 Update....

    I updated my wife's 3GS last night and when it was done it rebooted and started filling up the line under the apple logo like it always does after the software is loaded but after the bar fills up, the phone locks up and does not go past the apple logo with a full bar under it. - iTunes also locks up when you connect the phone. I've tried to restore it but it does the same thing.... any ideas?

    You're further than I am!! Mine's frozen on the apple with an empty progress bar. And absolutely nothing seems to be working. I've tried taking the SIM card out, tried restoring to previous system, but Itunes won't recognise the phone. It's absolutely doing my head in and I'm going out of town in the morning and really don't fancy being without my phone!

  • IPhone 4S Camera not working at all since last update

    Please Help!!! I use my iPhone camera as my primary camera and so does my wife. We are both having the exact same problem. No matter which way we try to use our cameras, whether through text messaging or directly from the camera app, when the camera starts up the screen is black. I try to kill the app and then restart it and on restart it appears to be fine, but when i click the shutter button to capture the pic the app crashes and takes me back to my home screen.
    I've tried restarting my phone and nothing works. Please fix this bug or tell me what to do!
    HELP!!!

    Please fix this bug
    This is a user-to-user tech support site.  Your problem is not a "bug" - it's in your phone.
    Try basic troubleshooting steps as needed:
    1. Double click the home button to show the recently opened apps.  Slide the preview screen of the Camera app up to close it.
    2. Reset phone (no data loss): press both the home and power buttons for at least 10 seconds, releasing when the Apple logo appears.
    3. Restore the iOS using iTunes, also restoring a backup
    4. Restore the iOS as new, without using a backup
    5. If restoring as new doesn't help, there is a hardware failure that requires evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service center

  • Iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and update

    my sons iphone 3gs will not activate after restore and ios update.
    phone keeps saying no service but worked fine before restore and update any ideas ? thanks

    Sorry. The jailbreak is undoubtedly the root cause of your problem.
    It is not always possible to repair the damage done by jailbreaking.
    Try searching google for an answer, but be prepared to just buy a new phone.

  • Help! Aspyr Games Not Loading After Updating To Mac OS X 10.4.11

    I can't seem to get my Sims 2 game to load after installing the latest update. It will bounce once in the dock then disappear.
    I called Aspyr and they said it was a problem with Apple's update, not their game(s) or company.
    I was told to see if I could update to 10.5.5 and that this should fix things. How would I do that, and first of all, would that be a good idea? Is it even possible? I'm (clearly) running Tiger.
    I'm very confused because I haven't been able to connect to the internet for about a month and finally installed the Apple updates and then I started having all these problems. I'm not sure what to do!
    Thanks in advance for your help!

    Run Disk Utility and repair permissions on your drive. If that doesn't work, follow the more extensive instructions for repairing your drive.
    As you have observed, you are running Tiger and the company told you to upgrade to Leopard, which I agree isn't very helpful unless you want to upgrade (is it worth it?).

    From BDaqua (couldn't have said it better):
    "Try Disk Utility
    1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc that came with your computer (Edit: Do not use this disc if it is not the same general version as what you have currently on your computer, e.g. use a Tiger disc for a Tiger drive, not a Panther disc), then restart the computer while holding the C key.
    2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
    Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
    3. Click the First Aid tab.
    4. Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
    5. Select your Mac OS X volume.
    6. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
    Then Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes."

  • Usb hard drive not loading after security update

    usb hard drive not loading after security update
    I can't seem to find any other posts about this problem.
    I have three external hard rives connect by a USB hub to my iMac.
    Problem is that if I turn on the hard drive(s) AFTER start up I get a message that the drive either was not recognized by the OS or that it was ejected unexpectedly. 
    I get the same issue but not all the time if I turn them on before I boot the iMac.
    I used the disk drive utility to "repair" the drives but they always come back as "probably ok". 
    If I restart the iMac with the drives connected (on), it seems to work but not all the time.
    A bit annoying as I am wondering if the drives are OK or not.
    I don't always need the drives as they are for backing up images from my camera using Apreture.
    This all began after i did the latest security update.
    is the update to blame?
    mahalo.

    Yes, you can still use those instructions to reset the PRAM.
    You said that you booted to your install disk and that your primary drive did not show up at the Select a Destination screen? That usually means that the computer is either not recognizing your partition, or it's not recognizing the hard drive itself.
    Start with this article and follow all the steps even if you already tried them. I suspect that you'll get to step 4 and you'll end up having to call Applecare. If you haven't done those steps, they're most likely going to make you do them anyway, so you might as well get them done before the call.

  • My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

    My iPhone 4 can not reboot after upgrading to iOS 6; keeps trying and cannot shut off either.

    I FINALLY got it to work on BOTH iPhone 4 and iPpad 3.  Here is what I had to do:
    Had to DELETE all e-mail accounts including icloud.
    Did a hard reset (hold down button on top right corner and round button on bottom center)
    Then once it came back on, the iPhone had ALL of the accounts still on it and it was receivng e-mail.
    The iPad receive e-mail until I did the steps above 5 times.  Plus, I had to add back all of the e-mail accounts vs. on the iPhone 4 they were there when my phone came on.
    Now I am receiving e-mail on both devices normally.
    No clue why this happened, but Apple needs to find a fix ASAP.

  • Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server

    Hello,
    I have been asked to create a test enviroment identical to the production enviroment. So, what I did was:
    Backed up the production web application's content database: Prod_WSS_ContentDB
    Created new test servers (domain controller, sql server and sharepoint 2013 server) in a new, completely isolated, network environment, without any connection with the production environment (specifically Azure)
    Created a new web application in test environment with a new content database.
    Dismounted the new content database with powershell: Dismount-spcontentdatabase Test_WSS_Content
    Copy the Prod_WSS_ContentDB database to the test sql server and restored it with Management Studio.
    Mount the Prod_WSS_ContentDB databe to the web application with powershell:
    Mount-spcontentdatabse Prod_WSS_ContentDB -WebApplication http://testsp/
    Then, when I type http://testsp in the browser it redirects me to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    and the site loads exactly as the production environment.
    But, after some minutes, or if I restart the Sharepoint Server, when I navigate to
    http://sitesp I am redirected to http://testsp/SitePages/Home.aspx
    as expected, but the site does not load, the browser just show a complety blank page.
    The Central Administration site loads normally.
    Trying to fix it I found that if I dismount the content database Prod_WSS_ContentDB, then mount the test database Test_WSS_Content,
    then navigate to the site, dismount Test_WSS_Content and finally mount again Prod_WSS_ContentDB, the site loads normally, no blank page, but after some minutes or if I restart the same happens again.

    Hi,
    According to your post, my understanding is that Site does not load after some minutes of creation or after restart the server.
    Please make sure you create a test environment for existing production site correctly.
    Here are some great articles for your reference:
