IPhone 4: Is there a solution for the front camera shutter not opening?`

I have had this problem for the last few weeks,
the rear camera works fine, but when i select the front camera the shutter remains closed and never opens.
if i open the front camera frst, the rear doesnt open till i restart it
i have restored, set up as new iphone and updated the sftware, but the front camera shutter doesnt open and remains closed, i have read online of others having this problem and some suggest changing the camera, which i got someone to do, yet the same fault remains,
is this a software fault which will be resolved in future updates or does anyomne know how to fix this?
there is no water damage or knocks , but the phone ios out of warranty,
many thanks

I don't think there's anything more you can do. No way to know if a future update will help but I'm guessing you have a hardware problem that an update won't cure.

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....

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?

Is there a solution for the limited time of videorecording?
By recording on my iPad2 there is a maximum time of 49 minutes and 51 seconds.

Hello Studio X
I have an iPad2 with 64 GB. After I start the videorecording it stops automaticly by 49 minutes en 51 seconds.
I looked in my settings and there was still enough space left. Although I do not think that the 64Gb is not the problem.
I bought myself an alternative recording app now. I hope it works properly but if the quality is OK. I do not know. I combine the recordings with my video (digitaltape) camera of Sony.
Thanks for your reply

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, what should i do?

I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

My front camera is Not open and the front speaker too

My front camera is Not open and the front speaker isn't work too

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Is it common for the front camer to stop working?

The front camera on my iPod randomly stopped working months ago and I've been to busy to get it fixed or whatever, I don't really know what to do, is this something that should be fixed by apple for free? Or don't have to pay for this?

Maybe I see one or two posts a day for that problem with the 5G iPod.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If the iod is defective and not aboused Apple will exchange it at no cost

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.

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.

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.

Is there a solution for the ups 3 battery?

I'm getting so frustrated with the battery on the iPad 3! Left it into charge all night and day whilst switched off and it was 95%! Is there going to be a solution for this? Should I just send this back and get an iPad 2?

The quickest way (and really the only way) to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter (5W). When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge very slowly (but iPad indicates not charging). Make sure your computer is on while charging iPad via USB. If iPad is connected to a computer that’s turned off or is in sleep or standby mode, the iPad battery will continue to drain.
Apple recommends that once a month you let the iPad fully discharge & then recharge to 100%.
How to Calibrate Your Mac, iPhone, or iPad Battery

At this link http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/galaxy-tab-android-tablet,3014-11.html , tests show that the iPad 2 battery (25 watt-hours) will charge to 90% in 3 hours 1 minute. It will charge to 100% in 4 hours 2 minutes. The new iPad has a larger capacity battery (42 watt-hours), so using the 10W charger will obviously take longer. If you are using your iPad while charging, it will take even longer. It's best to turn your new iPad OFF and charge over night.

Is there a solution for the MCH1210 errors in SAPOSCOL ?

Hello all,
When starting to work with changing the percentage of processor for the LPAR running SAP we are getting MCH1210 errors in the SAPOSCOL job. When searching for a solution I ran into a IBM knowledgebase item.
http://www-01.ibm.com/support/docview.wss?uid=nas2276fbb6932f936c7862574f70041ed83
The version we are running at the moment is:
SAPOSCOL version COLL 20.95 640 - AS/400 SAPOSCOL Version 24 Sep 2007
Apparently there is no PTF to fix this problem, and when searching for a new version of SAPOSCOL I could not find a reference to the problem we are experiencing.
We are planning of running a second partition, a SAP Content Server (Linux), and would like to use the flexability of the platform to work with a shared processor pool.
Any suggestion to get rid of the MCH1210 errors ?
Kind Regards, Rudi van Helvoirt

Hi Rudi,
I have tried to apply the patch "on the fly" (while the system was up) and ran into some errors, so I do not recommend that. What you could do is this:
1. Create a copy of the kernel library (I recommend SAVLIB to a SAVF, then RSTLIB to a different library name, see SAP Note 1097599).
2. Run the APYR3FIX command for the AS4RMTCCMS patch on the copied library.
3. Rename AS4RMTCCMS on the original kernel library into some dummy name or move it to another library.
4. Move AS4RMTCCMS from the copied library into original kernel library.
Since AS4RMTCCMS at your current level does not work anyway, you should not see additional problems when renaming or moving it.
Kind regards, Christian.
