IPhone 4 camera shutter will not open, iPhone 4 camera shutter will not open, iPhone 4 camera shutter will not open

Hey, so about a year ago I had this problem and went to apple but they were no help at all and did nothing but it seemed to work by itself afterwards.
However this past week my camera shutter has no been opening and I have looked online for ways to make it work.

    I have restored my iphone but camera shutter still will not open/work

    Try closing the Camera app completely and see if then works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • Iphone 5 Camera Shutter will not open

    I have an Iphone 5 and the camera shutter will not open, i will not work in any other camera app either. I can open and reopen it several times and then manage to click the front camera which does work fine. I have called Apple Support (which isnt helpful) as have to pay for them to run through troubleshoot with me!!! - I have not even had the phone for a year, anyone sorted this issue or have this issue?
    I have tried all resets and again same problem!!
    thank you

    From experience you can try a restore but this usually would be resolved by hardware service. Seek service at your local "Genius Bar" if possible.

  • The "shutter" on my iPhone 4 camera will not open, and the still/video selector repeatedly flashes back and forth. Taking pictures through the messaging interface still works. Help?

    I have tried restarting and restoring. It appears to be a software issue b/c of the availability of messaging pictures. Noticed the issue on Tuesday, with fairly infrequent camera usage.
    Any suggestions?

    Restoring as new seems to have worked. The camera is functional in both still and video modes.
    After restoring as new, I used the backup tool to replace all of my contacts and messages. The camera still worked. I am now reinstalling my apps.
    I will post again if reinstalling these causes the issue to resurface, but as of now the problem is solved. Many thanks.

  • Camera shutter not opening on iPhone 4s

    I've had my iPhone 4s for about two months. It had been working perfectly.
    After a recent drop that required the front glass to be replaced, my cameras are no longer working properly. The shutter for the rear camera will not open at all. The front camera will only work through a third party app called "AutoShutter" that was recommended to me. The phone is still working perfectly, otherwise.
    Is this reversable? Can I get my 4s cameras working again? I've tried the following:
    1) Soft reset with home/power buttons
    2) Downloading other software apps to run the camera
    3) Deleting all photos in my phone
    4) Full reset of the phone to factory settings
    Your recommendations are much appreciated. I'm waiting with baited breath in hopes that this is not permanent! I did not get the warranty or insurance. Thanks!

    i have the same problem, took it to apple store they said is a hardware problem, how could be possible if it WAS WORKING PERFECT BEFORE, very frustrated with them.. i've tried EVERYTHING in the world.. restarted factory settings recovery mode etc etc etc. nothing worked for me. and i forgot.. the phone never turns off just reboot and the sound goes off and comes on whenever it wants....

  • Iphone camera shutter not opening...not sure if software or hardware issue.

    Hey everyone,
    So I've had my iphone 4 for about 3 months now. It was working perfectly until last week. The camera shutter will not open for some reason. I can't use the front face or the regular camera. This also does not allow me to facetime. I would turn off the iphone, cancel all the apps, and SOMETIMES it would work, but now it just doesn't. Now the weird thing is that when I downloaded third party camera apps from the apple store, my regular camera was working, but my front face camera was not. Also facebook allows me to snap photos, but not front face photos....
    I'm not sure if this is a hardware issue, only because my iphone was working perfect for months before this problem occurred. Should I restore it?
    I've had such terrible luck with iphones, if i can't do anything about it and Apple has to replace it, this is the second time i'm going to have to replace the phone since getting the iphone in april.
    PLEASE HELP!

    A simple search via the forums here or google would have revealed a multitude of posts about this issue, basic troubleshooting, and possible resolutions.

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

  • Having trouble with iPhone 5 camera shutter not opening

    Any ideas what I can try. Sometimes it works and other time the shutter locks up.

    Hello Wildcat74
    There are some steps to try out that I have highlighted for you in the article below for iPhone hardware troubleshooting.
    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 for using Apple Support Communities.
    Regards,
    -Norm G.

  • I have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why? :(

    have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
    The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
    Best of luck.

  • HT4623 I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?

    I bought iPhone 4S from Kurdistan Iraq while I worked there now I retired and came back to my country India. Few days ago the rear camera of my phone is not working, it's shutter is not opening. It's less than a year I bought it. What to do now?

    First try one of these methodes:
    Try to restart your iPhone
    Hold the power button and slide to turn off, then turn it on
    if you still have the same problem then try the second methode:
    Reset Settings of your device:
    Settings>> General>> Reset >> Reset All Settings
    Make sure you reset only your settings and NOT any other Contents
    if you still have the same problem, so it seems to be a hardware issue, take it to the nearest Apple Store.
    Kind regards

  • IPhone 3G *Camera Shutter Not Opening* Possible Solution?

    Curious...
    Does anyone know if you were to take out the old camera and install a new replacement camera, would that fix that shutter problem? Would the shutter re-open again???
    or would the problem still exist??
    Would apprciate a response or answer to this. Thank you in advance!
    Note I know there was already a forum on this question, but I haven't seen anyone suggest this possible solution. And NO I do not have warranty. So I cannot get this iPhone replaced.

  • Iphone 3gs camera shutter not opening......

    hi......Plz. help.....   ihave iphone 3gs......am open camera but shutter not opening....  am also reset , restart , restore......iphone.....but same problem....?

    Try a reset by pressing the home and sleep buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.
    Try clearing your Camera Roll.
    Else, return it to whom you purchased it from.
