IPhone 4s camera falling apart

The camera on my iPhone 4s has a black plastick piece sliding down from above the lens internally. The piece is curved.

That is most likely the black foam gasket that goes between the back camera and the back cover. It is held in place by soft adhesive, the gasket is like a simple sticker. This is easy fix. Since all iPhone 4S have full Warranty, make Genius Reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. Genius may simply fix it right there or provide you with a perfect replacement iPhone 4S.

Everything is falling apart while in Africa....awesome

So I have had my MacBook since summer of 2006 and up until this August, I have had no problems. Now everything is hitting the fan. In the past two weeks the disc drive stopped reading discs. It will load them into the drive just fine, and there aren't any weird sounds, it just won't read them. Then, a chunk of plastic came off of the palm rest where the ridge on the screen meets the palm rest. It matches up perfectly with the length and depth of this ridge. Is anyone else having this problem? Oh yeah, and when I try to repair my hard drive from Disk Utility, it says there is an "underlying task error" and won't repair it. The only way to fix this problem is to start up from the disk. However, like stated above, the disc drive won't read the start up disk to fix the hard drive. And to top it all off, I am spending the semester in Zambia, where there are no Apple stores. Is there anyone that has any ideas that might possibly help my situation?! I will be sending my laptop in as soon as I set foot on American soil to take full advantage of the AppleCare Protection Plan. Thanks Apple, I love how your stuff seems to fall apart after a year!!!

Do you have AppleCare? Even if there are no Apple Stores (there are none in Slovakia, either) there might be an authorized repair center. You can look it up on the Apple website. As far as the case, it's a known problem, and if you still have AppleCare, you can have it fixed for free.

Neoprene Case Falling Apart

I bought a playbook on preorder from Best Buy, so I received it probably on April 21. The case that came with the device started falling apart the very next day – the seam around the top loosened, so the edge is falling apart.
I was just down at BlackBerry World and spoke with the girls at the retail store out in the foyer, and also talked to the folks at Best Buy, and they both told me to email RIM directly. When I did, I got an autoreply saying that basically, I needed to talk to someone else.
Any advice?

What email address did they tell you to send to?
Just a reminder, if you don't know, BlackBerry itself does not do customer support or warranty returns via email.
Here is the link to the warranty and customer support page for the Playbook.

Usb cable falling apart, usb cable falling apart

usb cable falling apart near the connection that goes into the handset.

I have the same issue. I have bought 6 USB to Lightning cables (all made by Apple), two have already failed. The two cables failed right where the wire goes into the lightning connection block. This has to be a design issue or a quality control failure. The part that really stings is I bought these when they first came out for $40.00 each. This is utterly unheard of when it comes to industry standard cables like mini or micro-USB. Hopefully some third party manufacturer will come out with a high quality version of the lightning cable.

Iphone 4 camera flash not working.

Iphone 4 camera flash not working when taking pictures but works with the flashlight app. I have ios 7. Tried factory reset. My wife has the same problem with her iphone 4 since the first month she has had it. Any suggestions?

IPhone 6 camera flash is not working

After I using my iPhone 6 camera flash to take pictures, my pictures become very light white color.

How do you delete more than one photo at a time on Iphone 3gs camera roll?

How do you delete more than one photo at a time on the Iphone 3gs camera roll?

You can't.

Can you use a webcam as an external iPhone 5 camera?

Reason I ask is because it would help me out at my job, and might be helpful to someone else.
I work a resident manager at a storage facility (live on site) and we have to mirror check units to make sure people aren't storing what they are not suppose to and sometimes I have pull out the bulky 8 foot ladder. Or to see if they move out of the unit and left their lock on the unit.
I was wondering if there was a camera/device you can plug into the lightning connector and use your iphone5 as a view finder like a borscope/endoscope.
Because the camera on the back if you reach over a storage unit you can not see the screen, and then if i flip it around to use the face camera i cant use the LED light... also taking a photo using the flash on the back camera does not get a clear picture at all
I don't have wifi in the building that I can use to do an IP camera.
I was looking at Bluetooth cameras like the "Contour" but its out of my price range.
Is there a way I can use a webcam as an external iPhone 5 camera? with an app?
I think if someone can invent this they could make some Big money
Is there any cheaper Bluetooth cameras out there so I can point the camera over the unit with one hand and use my iPhone 5 as a view finder in the other?

I have an external HDD that I use for backups once in a while, BUT to be honest with you I last backed up my iTunes stuff (around 30K songs) over a year ago. Maybe it is time for another backup.
In all fairness, the whole time I have been using Mac's (since 2001) I have never had a major crash (knock on wood) so it has not been high on my priority list tbh. This said, how Apple have been acting lately I feel they have become a little too big for them selves and I have started to notice errors here and there, something that was unheard of earlier
Anyway, in most cases it is never the HDD that causes problems and extracting data from these are not a major hinder so I'm good...
EDIT: Oh, maybe I misunderstood the question

Is there any way to get accurate framing using the iPhone 5 camera?

The iPhone 5 has a 16:9 screen, yet the photos are still produced in a 4:3 ratio. So what you see on the screen while framing the shot with the native camera app is not the same as the photo you end up with on your camera roll.
Is there any way to fix this? I want my photos to look exactly like how they appear on the screen before I hit the shutter.

I just realized this just now cause there is always some extra frame added when I review my pics on camera roll. This site might illustrate the problem further..
http://blog.crushapps.com/2012/09/with-the-iphone-5s-camera-app-what-you-see-is- not-what-you-get/
The only solution Ive found is to use an ap Like Camera Asesome or Kitcam App they do use a 4:3 framing and take pics of exactly what you see on screen..
However, I feel this is a design flaw by apple, you should be able to take a pic exactly to what you see on screen... I dont care if there is a black bar on top or in bottom(or both) on screen, rather than having an overscan of what your actually are saving on your phone. And its completely ridicoulous cause images appear with black bars when you review them on Camera Roll where the overscan would be nice (estetically wise , and a double click would reframe to what you actually took)
Hope this answers your question..

Looks like that's a "rweturn to store" fault I'm afraid.
Best bet is go through the restore as a new phone procedure, re-sync your files and see what happens but looks like a hardware fault.
Read the Restore procedure to make sure you understand what's involved

Why does my iPhone 4s camera take smaller resolution photos?

Randomly my iPhone 4s camera will take pictures of a resolution less than the maximum 8MP, and I can't seem to understand why that is. Is this an automatic setting that Apple has put in place that adjusts due to lighting? I've noticed outdoor shots or those inside with a lot of lighting are more likely to have the full 8MP pixels, but when used in lower lighting settings, my pictures come through at say - 1280 x 960. What might I do to correct this (if anything)?

I have noticed this when zooming - are you doing that?
When I am not zoomed in, I get the correct resolution of 2592x1936 (5MP, i4)

Can I remotely view my iPhone 4s camera's view, from my Macbook Pro?

(I "understand" this can be done with a "JB'd" iPhone. I don't want to go this route.)
And, I also do not want to view the cameras feed through a wireless network, or the internet. (Like the "Mini Webcam" app offers.
I am shooting "static video interviews, tripod mounted, with a Sennheiser shotgun mic.
I can easily tether the iPhone to my MBP, and do so sometimes to save battery power.
It would be helpful both for composing, as well as so my collaborators can see the subject, if the iPhones camera view was visible on the MBP, even if we couldn't see a full resolution image.
I see there is an Apple Digital AV Adapter, for dock connector to HDMI but I suspect this will only work for playing video from the iPhone to an HDTV.
Can anyone cofirm that this connection could work in Camera mode?
Otherwise, is there any way to see my iPhones live camera image on a monitor?
Thanks in advance for any and all help on this.

iCloud only give so much space for free storage, then if you exceed the limit of 5gb you have to pay for additional storage.
