Iphone 4S camera frozen

I have only had my phone a couple of weeks- at first the camera wouldnt work in certain apps. But today on thanksgiving it just froze on the shutter. I have tried all of the suggested fixes and nothing will wake it up. Do I have to go in and have it wiped?
Thanks

HT1430 My iPhone is completely frozen. I did a hard reset about 10 times and finally the iTunes logo appeared with a plug-in showing. I can't get it to anything else. Help?

You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
So far I have tried the following to no avail:
Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
Reinstalled the latest itunes.
Reset the ipod.
Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

I recently purchased an iPod touch 4g and was really pleased with it. That was until I tried FaceTime. I connected with a friends iPhone and could see her ok but she could not see me. I then found that I could not switch between the rear and front camera. The sound worked ok but no video! I have now found that the camera is not working at all, when I open the app, the shutter appears closed and will not open. I have tried a restore but this has not worked - can anyone please give me some advice?

My iPhone 3gs has frozen after trying to update to 5.0.1 and will not turn on or off. Only showing the iTunes logo and the usb cable on the screen. What can I do to fix this?

My iPhone 3gs has frozen while doing update 5.0.1 I think it was. All it shows is the iTunes logo and the usb cable on the screen. I will not turn on or off. I have tried reconnecting to iTunes but nothing happens. Have held both buttons for 10 seconds etc and nothing is working! What can I do?

Here are Apple Steps: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

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..

While playing a game my iphone went completely frozen, it does not respond to any input, not even to holding down the on/off hey. Any ideas?

Try a reset. That is holding the sleep/wake and home button together until you see the Apple logo and release. That will reset the iPhone, but will not affect your data.
Thanks! It worked just fine!

My iPhone 3Gs has frozen and I can't do anything except turn it off by hard boot. When I plug it in, I have the apple icon and that is all. It was at 43 percent battery life when it happened and my Twitter app was giving me problems. Thoughts?

Put it in recovery mode and restore it as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

My new iphone 5 is frozen, with the cord to computer symbol on the screen after failing to finish updating to ios 7. iTunes no longer sees the phone. I've tried rebooting the computer, rebooting the iPhone, but iTunes still doesn't see the iPhone.

If your computer doesn't see the phone when you plug it in, you may have to take it to an Apple Store.

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
