IPhone 5 ios 6.1.4 camera no longer works?

Since the ios update my camera and flash have stopped working. I've done both soft and hard resets and neither fixed the problem. I'd rather not have to wipe my phone and start over if I don't have to. Anyone else with this problem?? Also I don't have a computer to re-sync to, I just use iCloud.

Since you don't have a computer and you did an OTA update just take your iPhone 5 and go to the Apple Store and when you talk to someone first describe the problem you are having. Like when you open up the camera app does it crash? Does it show a black screen? When you tap the camera icon does it not take a picture? Are you sure you have the flash on? If the camera app isn't opening then it sounds like a bug. If the camera app opens and it shows a blank screen then it's a hardware issue or if the flash is on and it's not working then it's a hardware issue.

Hello Kunmon,
The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
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.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Iphone 4 S Camera no longer works after upgrade IOS 7

Recently upgraded to IOS 7 and my camera does not work properly anymore.
Any hint?

Let's see. close out of the built in camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of it.
Then do a reset, no data loss. Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
One of my co-workers said she can't use the purchase camera app also, she just update to 7.0.2 iphone 4S.
So the issue might be with the app.

Camera no longer works after 6.0.1

My camera no longer works after an update to 6.0.1 on iPhone 5. It now will make the noise and animation, but the camera app freezes and won't take the picture. Any luck for anyone else?
EDIT: Scratch that, turning my phone off and then back on seems to have fixed the issue.

The same powers-that-be fixed the problem for me. It's even more mysterious, since I know I did not restart the computer. I was just surfing along, laboriously using the browser's navigation buttons, when out of habit I pressed the button on the mouse and it worked. It's been working ever since.
Since I notice that 23 other people have this problem (so far), there's clearly something that needs looking at even if the problem somehow corrects itself.

Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch n

Thanks for responding. Since I upgraded ITUNES to IOS 6, my IPOD Touch no longer works at all. I had numerous apps, music and videos on this touch. It made me restore to factory reset and it still does not work!!! Nothing I do will work on this touch now. I have so much data on this, I don't want to loose or have to restore!
Can you help me?
Thanks

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

S230U Twist - Camera no longer works after Win 8.1

Hello all!
I've scoured the forums and tried EVERYTHING but I still cannot find a solution to my problem:
After I upgrade from Win 8 to Win8.1, my camera no longer works. It shows a gray screen with a camera and a diagonal line across it but the green camera light shows up; I also get a shutter sound when take a picture but the image is only of the aforementioned gray camera screen. I can't use the camera for video in skype or any other video chat function.
My Integrated Camera driver version is 3.4.7.26 (SunplusIT) dated 3/15/2013. I tried to upgrade but it seems to be the latest one.
I've also checked that the Lock Screen setting is set to ON for "Swipe down on lock screen to use camera".
SOMEONE, please HELP!

Hi,
Welcome to Lenovo Community Forums!
I'm really sorry to hear that when you try to use webcam in your Lenovo S230U Twist, you are getting a crossed camera image.
Check if your camera is in normal or private mode. This could be happening because you might have set your camera in private mode.
Go into Lenovo Settings App and select camera.
There will be the options of Private and Normal.
Select Normal.
Also, in Settings > Permissions, make sure that Skype and other similar apps have permission to access the Webcam or Microphone.
Hope this helps!
Best regards,
Mithun.

Welcome to the HP Forum.
Skype does run on Windows 8.1, although you may need to update Skype to at least version 6.16.0.105

After installing OSX Lion, the built-in camera no longer works. Solution?

After installing OS X Lion on a late 2010 MacBookPro, the built-in camera no longer works. Worked beautifully with Snow Leopard. Reset SMU to no avail. Any solutions?

Hi, Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your help with this.
Yes to both questions: iMovie is in the Applications folder, not in any subfolders. And I have reinstalled iMove from the original disc (before and after the OS reinstall) but can only get up to 7.1.4 without buying a later edition of iLife.
The camera definitely worked under Snow Leopard but not since I upgraded from SL to Mountain Lion.
Found the following on this forum:
If you have iLife '09 or older, there have been no iPhoto 8, iMovie 8 or
Garageband 5 (or older) updates relating to Lion or Mountain Lion. The
support and compatibility situations for those versions is unknown as
Apple hasn't said anything. We can only determine compatibility
anecdotally. If it turns out that there is a problem and Apple doesn't
release an update, your only recourse is to buy the latest version of
the application.
I reinstalled some other iLife apps as well. iDVD went missing after the ML reinstall. When I reinstalled it from the original disc, it wouldn't open and I had to download a manual update to get it working. iWeb previously stopped working after the upgrade to ML (all the menu options were greyed out) but when I reistalled it (together with iMove and iDVD) yesterday, it started working again.
All this seems to point to a compatibilty issue between iLife '08 and ML.

Since downloading Ios 7, the microphone function no longer works even though it is enabled in settings.

Try some basic troubleshooting:
(A) Try reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
(B) Try reset all settings
Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings
(C) Setup as new (data will be lost if you do not have backup)
Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings

Iphone 5/ios 7.0.2 camera issues

I have an iPhone 5. Since the update to 7.0.2, my camera keeps crashing. Especially the back camera seems to be the problem. I did restore my phone two times on iTunes and it does not help for long. Is this a software issue and should i wait for 7.0.3? Or should i go to a Apple store?
Greetings,
Stephan

Camera isn't functioning
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app. (Double click on the Home button and swipe UP on the thumbnail above 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 tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-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. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording.
