Iphone 4s Camera freezes, crashes, and shutter stays closed.

Whenever I try using the camera the shutter opens normally. But sometimes, when the screen tries to focus, the image freezes, a portion of the screen goes bright purple (or a number of other colors lately) before going black, and the shutter closes like I took a picture. Then it just stays closed and won't open.
I've tried suggestions from other support discussions such as turning it off and on, rebooting my iphone, and removing/cleaning the sim card but none of those helped.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on or have any other suggestions?

Hello totodog8,
I would recommend resetting the phone first, with this process.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
From: iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

IF that does not resolve the issue, I recommend restoring your phone with iTunes.

All the very best,

  • My ipod touch 4g camera wont work because the shutter stays closed

    My ipod touch camera shutter stays closed when i start the camera app. This has been happening for a while but if i reboot the ipod several times then the camera will work. I have rebooted it about 35 times now and the shutter still will not open.

    If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem the I would go make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare.  If you look at the right-hand side of the page with your post you will find other posts with the your same problem.  They are under the heading More Like This.

    4. Test Camera again

    thx

    First, double tap the home key and close off any apps that are in the task bar.  You are really looking for an earlier instance of camera or photobooth that is still there.  Then reboot the pad.  Hold the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears.  Ignore the red slider. 
    Then try the app again. 
    This has been happening off and on well before ios 5. 

  • Iphone 4 camera freezes in movie mode

    iphone 4 camera freezes in movie mode

    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.

    User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If you perform these steps and it still doesn't work, then make an appointment at the Apple Genius bar and have the hardware checked.

    Most of your purchases content can be downloaded again via the Purchased tabs in each of the store. I realize that this will be a problem for the iTunes Store on the iPad, but that has nothing to do with apps, since apps are in the App Store.
    If you backed up synced with iTunes before you restored the iPad, your content should be in iTunes on your Mac and you should be able to sync it back again.

  • Replaced digitizer and lcd screen now front camera freezes in virtual  shutter mode

    recently replaced digitizer/lcd screen now the front facing camera does not work ,freezes on virtual shutter screen  and cannot swap from front to rear camera (rear camera works on facetime )

    Either the front camera is damaged or the connection of the camera to the logic board is messed up. Take it apart and try to find/fix the problem

  • IPhone 3GS - camera freezes

    I have a problem that I can't solve. I've been on the net trying to find a solution but nothing helped.
    1.) I tried resetting the phone (both holding home button while startin up and resetting in the menu on the iphone)
    2.) I tried deleting everything on it...
    3.) Tried creating a new phone in itunes after deleting everything still same problem
    4.) I tried deleting the video clip that made the phone get full.
    It all started when I was a a concert and recorded a video. The video stopped since there was no more space on the device - quite logical. But when I switched it to camera mode next time it would freeze, the shutter being closed and the small icon "camera --> video" is grayed out and flashing strangely. Since it's grayed out I can't switch it to normal camera but it stays on video mode.
    I've now deleted a lot of things on the iPhone but with no luck. The camera just opens with closed shutter and set in video mode with the  "camera --> video" grayed out and flashing strangely.
    WHAT CAN I DO?!?!
    It's pretty annoying if I've lost my camera because of a software bug!!
    Any help would be really helpfull!!!!
    Thansk in advance,
    Toni
    BTW, iOS v. 4.3.5 (8L1) and I would really prefer not to loose all my text messages and other personal stuff.

    If you haven't already restored as NEW, without using a backup, that's what you need to do since  you've exhausted all other troubleshooting steps.  You'll have to make the Sophie's choice between your messages and a functioning camera.
    However, if you already restored as new (your post suggested this) without success, there is a hardware failure and there's no point in restoring again.  You'll have to take it to Apple or whoever provides iPhone service in your country.

  • My macbook pro (late 2011) is extreme slow, freezing, crashing and lagging too often.

    I am new to the forum, I hope this is the good topic to post my problem.
    I have a late 2011 Macbook Pro, and it is getting slower and slower. The performance was bad with Mavericks as well, but now, with Yosemite installed, it is much more worse. I have never reinstalled my system (only upgraded the osx), so it is an almost 3 years old setup. In that time I have installed a lot of applications, and also deleted a lot. About a year ago I upgraded the RAM, but didn't help too much. Now with Yosemite my startup time is more than 5 minutes, and sometimes the startup freezes (and I have to push the power button long to retry). Safari with 5-10 tabs is extreme slow, and lagging when I switch tabs or open new ones. To launch a new app, for example skype, i have to wait 1-2 minutes. Everything is slow. Sometimes my finder crashes, and works only if I restart the macbook. Another example: if I open the downloads folder in Finder, I have the spinning loading icon for about 20-30 seconds, and just after this time can I see the content of the folder.
    My console is full of errors, I get new records in every single seconds. I repaired the disk permissions, deleted safari cache, history, etc. but nothing helped.
    Many people here attached an "etrecheck" record for their threads, I downloaded the app, and made one scan, you can see my results here, I hope someone with more technical skills can help me!
    Thank you in advance!
    (and sorry for my english - it is not my mother language)

      Dec 11, 2014, 12:04:08 PM Self test - passed

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.
    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words "Start time." If you don't see that, but instead see a mass of gibberish, you didn't wait for the "Process completed" message to appear in the Terminal window. Please wait for it and try again.
    If any private information, such as your name or email address, appears in the results, anonymize it before posting. Usually that won't be necessary.
    13. When you post the results, you might see an error message on the web page: "You have included content in your post that is not permitted," or "You are not authorized to post." That's a bug in the forum software. Please post the test results on Pastebin, then post a link here to the page you created.
    14. This is a public forum, and others may give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak only for themselves, and I don't necessarily agree with them.
