IPhone 5  has black dot on photos

Just recently my 2 year old iPhone 5 is showing a black dot/mark when I look through the view finder and is appearing on the photos too, also on videos but for perhaps obvious reasons not on the reverse camera! The external lens appears to be clean.
Can anyone help with this, please? I have switched the phone off and on - I have also rebooted it (just in case!).

See Here for  >  Frozen or unresponsive iPhone
Try this First... No Data will be Lost..
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • HT6378 I "upgraded" to iCloud Photo Library (Beta), my 2000+ pictures between my iphone/ipad has now become 85 photos.  Where are the other 1900 pictures--not in the deleted folder?

    I upgraded to iCloud Photo LIbrary (Beta) today but my 2000+ pictures have now become 85 pictures on the iCloud/iPhone & iPad.  The pictures are not in the deleted folder.  These "pictures" were NOT normal with prior IOS upgrades.  I could not delete them.  Where have all of these pictures gone?

    Ok, so here's a solution to this issue:
    Backed up my iPhone on iTunes
    Did a factory reset on iPhone
    Restored the thing from previous backup
    Re-entered all my passwords and such
    Now it's syncing again.
    The whole procedure took me about two hours.
    No idea why this happened. Beta, I guess.

  • My iphone 3G has black/blue/white screen but it still works. Any solutions?, My iphone 3G has black/blue/white screen but it still works. Any solutions?

    Hi,
    I just took my iphone 3g out of my bag and the screen is broken.
    The screen either is blue with white lines along it, or black with white lines along it (it seems to alternate between them).
    The iphone still works however, as when turing the silent button it vibrates, along with me tapping the screen when trying to put the password in, it vibrates.
    Any solutions? If not does the warranry cover things like this?
    Ive tryed resetting it (holding sleep button and home button at the same time) and it just urns off, and when it turns on again, the same problem arrives.
    Thanks,
    Matt.
    p.s
    On a unrelated(?) note my iphone thought the head phones were plugged in even though they wernt not long before this happened.

    Click the home button 3 times

  • How can I get the black dot wallpaper from my ipad to my iphone. Please help me out

  • My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used. I now have a new icloud account, if I delete the old one will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone?

    My iPhone 4 has never backed up to anything, the account I started it with I never used so I was never able to verify it or anything. I now have a new icloud account and I want to backup my phone before I get a new one in a couple of days. If I delete the old account will I lose my photos or will they still be on my phone (remember they've never been backed up)? Thanks!

    You cannot delete an Apple ID, you can just stop using it. If your photos are still on your phone now, then I suggest you do back them up. Transfer them from the phone into your iPhoto Library. iCloud only backs up your Camera Roll automatically. But the Camera Roll only contains new photos that were taken but not yet transferred using iTunes.

    I purchased a movie from iTunes and when i try to play it on my mac or iphone its just black and has no sound...
    help please!

    Are you going to Movies - Purchased or Computers - Movies ?
    If you go to iTunes Store  on your computer - Quicklinks - Purchased. Is it showing up there?
    Is this a purchase or a rental?

  • An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

    An insect got behind the screen of my MacBook and has since died, leaving a black dot on the screen. As this is a sealed unit the insect cannot be removed, any ideas.

    I believe your only option will be to get Apple to replace the screen for you, which won't be cheap.  If the machine is still covered under warranty, you could try to push the case that the screen must be defective for a bug to get in there.  Apple has been known to do free out-of-warranty service in some pretty unbelievable circumstances, that that is at their discretion, so be very pleasant and polite so they'll like you and want to help you out.    But be prepared to have to pay for the repair.
    Good luck!

  • Iphone 4 has a black screen which will display the apple logo for approx 10 seconds, then goes blank for 10 seconds and so on.  I have tried a hard reset with power button and home button but no change.  Get no response when attempting to connect to itune

    iphone 4 has a black scrren which will display the apple logo and appears to be at start up but then blacks out for approx 10 seconds and then displays apple logo again.  Same action over and over.
    I have attempted hard reset but cannot complete.  Also attempted to connect with itunes and it does not recongize device.
    Device is frozen in this display loop.  Have an appointment with genius bar tomorrow but it's a 2.5 hour round trip so suggestion appreciated.

    Your device may need to be restored as new in iTunes (instead of restored from a back up as it seems that there is a software issue on your phone).
    If your phone is not able to connect in iTunes try forcing recovery mode (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808)
    * power off your phone.
    * Hold the home button while connecting your phone to iTunes.  You should see the connect to iTunes window and your computer should give you the recover mode alert.
    *Restore your device as new. Being sure not to restore from a previous back up.
    You will then want to sync your information back to your device from Outlook, iCloud, Google or wherever your information is stored.

    Hi Lauren,
    When troubleshooting power issues, we want to make sure we have followed all steps outlined in the following article:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    - Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    - Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    - Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    - After at least 15 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen . Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    - If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    - Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to
    restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    - If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.
