IPhone 4 - is anyone experiencing the Camera / Video crashes ?

iPhone 4 out of the box, Camera / Video app crashes causing a reboot ? Anybody else experiencing this ?

Well, here's my fix for you guys if you have the same problem with your library not being able to be created, and hence crashing both the camera and photos app.
As a matter of fact, I had noticed for a while that the images in the folders were not the same amount as was announced "on" the folder (they always have a bracket saying how many pictures the folder has). And on Linux, I was able to have a look at the structure of the iphone's content easily and was able to compare this (you don't necessarily have to go to Linux for this though, it was just easier for me).
Now here's the fix.
In Windows, I open iTunes and tell it not to sync pics, and tell it to remove existing pics (just in case, make sure you have a copy). In Linux, I access my iPhone, the folder with my existing pictures (they were still there), and move (not copy, the folder must be empty after this) them all to my shared drive in an iPhone folder. I then go back to Windows, copy the contents of shared-drive/iPhone to my usual iPhone Photo folder. In iTunes, I click I want to sync photos, check the correct folder, and oh wonder, it's all back to "normal" (it is actually quite neat, the new feats of the camera :)).
Please note that a restore only took a lot of time from me, and didn't fix the phone - this did.

  • Has anyone experienced the iphone 4s camera panorama failure where the panorama stops after taking  only one non panoramic shot? I think this happens when you switch direction of the panoramic arrow.

    Sounds like you have a battry issue but don't want to believe it.
    If a car was running fine on one tank of gas, then you filled it up with another tank of gas and it began to run funny, one might suspect that tank of gas. But let's just say coincidence blew a valve-- would you think the new tank of gas was the culprit?
    BUT WAIT!! It just might have been! The gas could have been of higher octane and put more more strain on the valves; you know, like going from 87 octane (OS6) to 93 octane (OS7) and showing you the engine was on the edge of compromise.
    Sometimes you have to go with common sense. If everything else is ruled out, it must be the battery. And if it runs fine one moment in OS6 but immediately ***** in OS7, I'd believe my battery was suspect-- though comfy-- in OS6 but the OS7 showed its true power.
    Moreover, if you had the answer-- or didn't want to believe someone's more competent advice-- why did you even call?  You've already shown that you don't know much when you asked if you could go backwards after setting up the new OS as a new phone.
    Additonally, if you're such the know-it-all, but yourself the $29 battery and put it in yourself. It's a piece of cake.

  • TS1398 My iPhone won't stay connected to my wireless. I have to keep repowering my phone and then it lasts for a few minutes until I have to reboot again. Any ideas? Anyone experienced the same?

    HI:
    It does not sound like a battery problem.
    Try a couple of things:
    1.          Reset the SMC
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
    2.          Reset (if you can) the PRAM
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH4405
    If that does not help, delete the mouse in system preferences, turn it off, restart, and turn the mouse back on.
    Barry
    P.S.  I only needed it once, but I have an old USB mouse in case my Bluetooth one decides to quit. 

  • Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?

    Has anyone experienced the mute switch / auto-rotate switch iOS bug on their ipad?
    I have experienced this on iPad 1 as well as iPad 2.
    Basically, when you set the side switch to toggle screen orientation (or mute), after a period of use I will have either my sound cease to function or the ipad screen will not orient correctly.  This depends on what i have chosen the side switch to toggle.  I am not sure what causes it.  The time it takes for the problem to appear is inconsistent. Some say it is caused by third party applications.
    One can find numerous threads on here if you search for "sound on my ipad stopped working" or "orientation not working".  It appears to be the same problem. Fudging with the toggle switch settings can fix it (but it takes a weird order to get it out of its non functioning loop). 
    Here is a thread that addresses the sound issue:  https://discussions.apple.com/message/15263298#15263298

    Its only for notifications.. it is not for sound from videos or music!

  • Got my iphone 4s today but the camera has a bug that i cant find reported anywhere

    Got my iphone 4s today but the camera has a bug that i cant find reported. When i take a picture or filming the camera screen shows the buttons in landscape mode( the buttons are at the bottom in landscapemode instead of the bottom end of the phone) and the object i am filming shows up 90 degrees rotated. If i hold the phone in landscapemode the object moves 90degrees rotated too. In i pan the phone the image on the screen goes up and down insted. Very weird.

    Contact Apple and inform them you have AppleCare +. If your phone is working correctly they may or may not replace it, only they can anwer that question.

    I cannot access my Hotmail account with Safari on my MacBookAir but I can access it on my Mac/Safari and also from my PCs.  Has anyone experienced the same?  Does anyone know a fix for this?

    To find out if it's system wide or user specific, try this...
    Open System Preferences>Users & Groups, unlock the lock, click on the little plus icon, make a new admin account, log out & into the new account.
    Does it work in the new account?

  • Has anyone experienced Labview 8.2 crashing when attempting wire a cluster filled with object and task references?

    I am getting a complete shutdown (crash) of Labview 8.2 when placing the wiring tool over a cluster that is filled with task and object references.  The crash occurs on all computers I have attempted it on and happens throughout all VIs in all classes that distribute multiple references throughout the VI using a cluster.  The entire project I am developing is programmed in GOOP.  Has anyone experienced anything like this?  I have provided a screen shot of the place where the crash is generated.  Let me know if anyone has any insights.

    There are several known crashes with LVClasses. One of the easiest
    fixes is to load your application into memory and then hit
    ctrl+shift+click on the Run arrow of your top-level VI. Then do
    File>>Save All. You might also try selecting that wire (with the
    selection tool -- use the Tools Palette to explicitly select a tool
    other than wiring) and deleting it and then rewiring those terminals.

  • 3G iphone sluggish opening of the camera

    I owned the first iphone and now as of July 11, 2008 have purchased the 3G. My first iphone camera opened instantly, even with 1,500 photos on it. The new 3G iphone camera take from 7 to 10 seconds to open. The photo opportunity is lost with this sluggish camera opening. Apple please fix. This is a great phone. Are there any ideas as to the cause of this problem. Also today when I took some photos, one of the photos upon viewing was a double shot with 1/2 of one photo on one side an 1/2 of another photo on the other side of the viewing screen. I deleted that photo. This has not happened before on either phone. By the way my husbands new 3G iphone camera opens in 3 seconds. I went to the apple store and tested the demo models of the 3G most opened in 3 to 4 seconds but a few took from 7 to 10 seconds. Help I sync to my HP pc for itunes and I sync to my macbook air for iphoto's

    Not only is the camera slugglish, thats the least of my problems with the 3g , now the app download crashed my 3g 16 GB phone, It would not restore , prior to this latest dead crash!!! I spent 12 hrs on the phone with apple support to no avail, I re-installed itunes, restored my phone, lost all my data, Finally took the phone to apple store today and they gave up to , gave me another 3g. I am now restoreing to my back-up. It does not seem to matter what app is downloaded, I have 44 apps. One app may corrupt another app. It's random. Maybe the larger MB apps cause some of the problems. I won't be buying any more apps for now. I cannot spare the time. Oh for my old stable 2g iphone,"prior to 2.0 download". We know your busy, but help us out here. We paid the money. Apple please fix.

  • What is the camera video viewer called?

    Does anyone know the name of the video viewer in the camera app?

    Use the Photos app to view both photos and videos from your device's Camera Roll. Or you can tap at the bottom left of the screen, where your most recent picture is.

  • Has anyone used the camera on the Playbook?  Is it too zoomed in for you?

    On the playbook OS 2.1, when I compare what I am seeing between the camera in an app  and the native camera app - I see about half as much - so the Air app camera looks zoomed in by a factor of 1.5 or 2.
    Here, somewhat, is my code.  I have tried without a holder and scaling my holder down to make sure there is no video outside the screen and there is not.  What is in my camera is just zoomed in!  I have also tried it with the desktop webcam and it is mostly comparible in zoom - Flash cuts off a little compared to the Web cam software but not nearly as much as on the Playbook.  Any thoughts?
    cam = new Video(1024, 600); 
    myTimer = new Timer(200, 1);
    myTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, init);
    myTimer.start();
    holder = new MovieClip();
    addChildAt(holder,0);
    // then in the init
    signal = Camera.getCamera("1");
    signal.setMotionLevel(1,10000);
    signal.setQuality(0, 100);
    signal.setKeyFrameInterval(30);
    signal.setMode(cam.width, cam.height, 30, false);
    cam.attachCamera(signal);
    holder.addChild(cam);
