Iphone 5 camera wont focus
The rear facing camera won't focus on anything more than a few inches away from it. I restarted it, I even reset it. Anyone know what I can do?
Try giving it a sharp rap right on the camera with the heel of your hand. Sometimes the focus mechanism binds up and needs a little jolt to knock it loose.
I suppose software could cause an issue, so if that doesn't work http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414 and set up as "New Phone" after, test the camera. If it works OK at that point try restoring your backup.
If neither of those take care of it, phone will need to be repaired.

My iphone 5 back camera wont focus? How can i fix this
Anyone know how i can fix my iphone camera? It was working fine up untill this morning and when i went to take a picture it suddenly went out of focus and has stayed that way! Any thing i can do to fix this?
Reset, hold both home and power buttons for about 10 seconds until the iPhone restarts. See if fixed. If not, Restore iPhone with iTunes on computer. See if fixed. If not, make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution.

My iPhone 6+ camera wont focus at all
Hi all, I've been having more of a recent issue with my iPhone 6+'s camera. It seems to have its focus stuck on only things up close. I bought it back in November, and I dropped it a few days after I got it, There are no cracks on the display, but a few are on the top corners. After that, I got a case, and its camera has still worked flawlessly. But maybe a few weeks ago this issue started, without any drops I can remember occurring. I have already tried the following:
Flicking the camera screen
Tapping both the top and sides of the phone near the camera
Assuring HDR was disabled
Assuring Focus Lock was disabled
I've tried cleaning my camera screen multiple times
I've checked for specks of dust, I cant see any
And no, this is not the OIS issue that makes the image resemble a fish tank
My issue is, I can't exactly get a new one. Seeing as I have a few MINOR cracks in the top corner of my glass, T-mobile being the poor service providers that they are, wont replace it without a $150 broken phone charge. Does anyone think the apple store would give me better luck? Also does anyone know of a solution? Thanks!Obviously that is true, but I don't recall one incident of recently dropping the phone and instantly noticing a bad camera image. I also have an otterbox on it, which should protect the lens completely and dampen vibration from dropping the phone. Additionally, there are no evident scratches on the sapphire coating.

Iphone 6 plus ios 8.2 update camera wont focus
i just recently updated my iphone 6 plus to ios 8.2 however the camera won't focus i've noticed a few people are having this same issue. what should i do ?
i've already contacted my local apple authorized dealer however they want me to go five days without my phone. do you guys see this as being reasonable
and did i mention my phone is still underwarrenty.The problem is much more complex than is there a smudge on the lens or is your finger covering the lens. It appears to be iOS 8.2 related as the issue coincided perfectly with my upgrade to iOS 8.2 on my 6 plus. The focus is now fixed to approximately 12 inches. Landscapes are incredibly blurry. If I tap to focus the lighting box will come up but it will not focus. Reboots and changes to HDR do not fix it. Changes in mode (i.e. slo-mo, time-lapse, video) have the same problem.

My phone recently stopped being able to focus the front facing camera. The reverse camera works fine. A friend said she had the same problem but was unable to resolve it.
I had the same issue today...see this similar post on this forum: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4388625?start=30&tstart=0
I gently-ish tapped my phone on the desk face down (with the protective cover on) and it fixed it! It seems ridiculous but it worked. It saddens me that this is what fixed it though!! Apple Support and resets did not fix it. Read the link above! -
When i connect my iPhone to iTunes, it says i have to set up my iPhone, and wont allow me to sync any media i have already purchased on it. My phone is not new, so I dont understand? This all came about when i updated the iOS 6 software. I have tried to re-set up my phone but it makes no difference and deletes everything off my phone.

Okay, so my friends think it is funny to change the passcode on my iPhone.
Maybe you should get new friends.
I'm not sure that recovery mode works when you have to trust the computer, but did you try it?
If you can't update or restore your iOS device - Apple Support
If that won't work, perhaps you can use Find my iPhone from a computer in your iCloud.com account to erase the device.
iCloud: Erase your device - Apple Support
This has nothing to do with the Find my iPhone app being installed on the phone, but you do have to have Find my iPhone activated in the iCloud settings on the phone. -

my iphone came up with that timing circle and just turned off and did not come back on ? even when i charge it now it still wont turn on ,do you know the problem?
If the battery was empty (and it may then take 10 to 15 minutes of charging before it will respond), then have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

IPhone 5 camera stopped focusing.
I have an iPhone 5 and 2 days ago the rear camera stopped focusing. It doesn't pulse continuously like it was to focus, the image is just blurry if taken closer than 6 inches. This is the second iPhone 5 I have had. The first the battery was swelling. My one year warranty is up. Does anyone know of any ways to fix this without having to buy a brand new phone.

After upgrading to 6.1.3 yesterday photocamera from iphone 4 not focus. why? please fix bug!!!!
After upgrading to 6.1.3 yesterday photocamera from iphone 4 not focus.Whi ? please fix the bug !! and the battery is draining faster !!!
This is almost embarassing. For some totally unexplainable reason all the songs in iTunes were unchecked. I was considering syncing the whole iTunes library to my iPnone, tut even with the 32 Gb version it would not hold it all. I restarted my MBP, and the message about the unchecked songs came up. It obviously is not enough to have songs checked for the iPhone. Thanks anyway.

Please help
My iphone camera got a dark spot. Im really sure that this happen to my cam not a screen.
A dark spot is very annoying when I want to take a picture.
I have tried to clean and looked for the way to fix it, but its not work.
If your iphone used to be like mine and you can fixed it, then teach me please.
I really need some help.Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
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 tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-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. You can also tap to readjust focus while 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.
