Iphone 6 plus camera not focusing

I do not use my camera a whole lot, but I started noticing two weeks ago I opened up my camera app and was wanting to take a picture of something at the store, so I could send it to a friend. I held the phone still as I was trying to take a picture. I had to literally get right up to it for the phone to focus. Before, I never had a problem like this. I could be a couple feet away and tap on the screen for it to focus. I have read other articles on what Apple says to do and I have done that. I have a Tech21 case on on my phone. There is plenty of room on the back that the case does not interfere with the camera. I took the case off just to see if there was a difference and there isn't. I have Applecare so I have scheduled a genius bar appointment later today. Just thought I could see if anyone else might have been having the same problem I am having now and might have a solution. It is rather odd that an update could affect the camera.

So.. went to Apple and it is my camera. Getting it fixed right now.

IPhone 6 plus camera not show recent photos anyone else have his problem

I Took a picture in the lock mode but now I can't see the picture in my photo album or in the camera mode either I can see it in the bottom corner but when i click on it it doesn't come up

That happens when you activate your camera from the lock screen without actually unlocking your phone. It is a secure measurement so other people don't delete/see your pictures, as the phone has no idea if it is you or someone else who is holding the phone (unless is unlocked).

My iPhone 6 plus will not automatically wi fi sync with iTunes 12 when attached to a power suppy
i can manually sync from phone or iTunes on MacBook but will not auto sync.
have latest versions of IOS8, OSX Yosemite and ITunes 12.

Good day dexv,
There are three conditions that must be met in order for an iPhone to sync automatically over Wi-Fi. It sounds as if you have met one of them, can you check to see if the other two are met as well?
See this article -
Sync your iPhone, iPad and iPod touch with iTunes using Wi-Fi - Apple Support
The iOS device will sync automatically when the following conditions are true:
The iOS device is charging.
iTunes is open on the computer.
The iOS device and the computer are on the same Wi-Fi network.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Safe computing,

I run in an area without wifi and poor cell reception. How do I keep my tunes on the iPhone 6 plus and not in the cloud

Hi Delecee,
You can easily do that by downloading the music before you get to that area of weak Wi-Fi and cellular signal by downloading the music directly from the Music app by tapping the cloud button next to songs. The other option is to sync the music with iTunes over USB to have the songs downloaded to your phone. Take a look at the links below to get your music downloaded to your iPhone.

Should i use screen protector on my iphone 6 plus or not?????

should i use screen protector or not for my iphone 6 plus or not????

On most of my iPhone's past, I didn't use one. But I do have one on my iPhone 6. There's more glass and since they now make screen protectors out of tempered glass with oleophobic coating, it seemed a good idea to protect the larger screen area. 6 Plus is even larger, with more glass.
So ask yourself this. Which would you be more upset about seeing a scratch on? The iPhone screen itself, or a simple not very expensive, replaceable screen protector?

The Health app on my iPhone 6 Plus is not recording flights climbed correctly.

The Health app on my iPhone 6 Plus is not recording the number of flights of stairs I climb correctly. It seems I have to go up the stairs 2 plus times before it records 1 flight climbed. Are there any settings that I can change?

As far as we can figure out, the hardware is working, but the software isn't, and there aren't any settings to fix it:

I went into Apple Store and asked for help, and the genius said the software is not ready for production and to wait for updates.

IPhone 6 Plus Camera - Smudged Photos - A visit to Genius Bar

I have been using iPhone 6 Plus for more than 2 months. All through the phone is great for reading and battery life. Now the major problem I have been facing is the still photos taken with little bit of zoom are also getting smudged. The results are so bad they are a downgrade from iPhone 5. It is disheartening to see such poor quality software or image processing on such a hyped Camera Hardware. Coming to the point of solution I have visited the Genius Bar at Hillsdale Shopping Center San Mateo on 01/14/15. Following are the lame diagnosis steps they have done,
They did general diagnostic test - It has failed for too many App crashes - Genius Bar Associate said it is common, please reboot the phone regularly. What a solution!!!
Coming to camera they don't have any scientific way of finding the issues. So no proper diagnostic process.
They Took some pictures of Apple store with Zoom and without zoom. And showed me there are no smudge marks. What a great way of diagnosis!!!
Then I have mentioned them that it needs to take closeup of people. So now they started taking pictures of me with zoom and without zoom. After this they saw the smudges.
I have told them to compare with iPhone5. They took pictures of me with iPhone 5 and found the quality is much better than iPhone 6 Plus. Their explanation is f-stop and depth is different. What an innovative excuse for better picture quality on older version phone. I am seeing great bluffing activity started now.
Now the final comparison. They said they will compare with exact another iPhone 6 Plus and see if there are any issue with my phone. I said OK. Now they took pictures of me with a new identical iPhone 6 plus with zoom and without zoom. Great rope act now...they saw the exact smudges on photos on using the identical iPhone 6 Plus. Their explanation on next step.
Since both the phones are producing smudges they derived the conclusion that my phone has no issue. And they said that the issue is resolved. My answer to them is "ISSUE IS NOT RESOLVED. IN FACT IT IS PROVED AND YOU BETTER ESCALATE IT AND SOLVE IT'
What a great experience at Genius Bar. If they have served beer or hard liquor instead of this BS I would have been a happy customer.

I never asked for any replacement....I wanted a solution for bad picture. If it is proved that all phones are producing same smudges they better think a common solution for all. Case is not closed, in fact it remains open as long as they doesn't answer it.
See the attached pictures how bad it is in low light...FYI...no editing done on these pictures.
No Zoom
Little Zoom
More Zoom..look how bad it gets...

IPhone 6 Plus camera rotation problem - any way to fix it?

I took 7 photos this evening with my new iPhone 6 plus. All were taken in landscape mode. All were taken standing, holding the camera in landscape position pointed straight ahead or at a slight tilted down angle to shoot something relatively low in height.
3 of the photos came out oriented correctly. But 4 came out rotated incorrectly. And there doesn't seem to be a way to correct the rotation in the Photos app, is there?
Why don't the photos consistently turn out rotated correctly in the Photos app?
In the Camera app itself, I looked at each one after shooting via the little window that appears after taking each photo. In all those views the photos were oriented correctly.
A bug? Anything I can do to fix it?
Thanks,
doug

Thanks for the hint about the rotate. AppleCare didn't know about that when I did a support chat with them on this issue.
What they had be do was "reset all settings."
Side-note: They said doing that would not delete any data, but it took like an hour to get things back where they were because all sorts of things were lost: wallpaper, my touch id fingerprint, wi-fi password, Messages addresses, the name of my iPhone - and at least a dozen other settings. They could have warned me.
Anyway, I only did one test of 7 landscape photos after that, taken at various tilts, and they all came out correctly rotated. So maybe that fixed it. Or maybe it just didn't show up in the 7 photos I took. Time will tell. Worth a try? But just know you have to redo all your settings.

Dust inside iPhone 6 plus camera

Hey guys, I've owned an iPhone 6 Plus since October and just recently realized that my unit is not as flawless as I originally thought.
While taking a picture of a sunset I noticed a bright light spot on the screen that wasn't the sun and it would appear eveytime there was direct light to the camera lens. When I got home I took a picture indoors of the ceiling and with the lightbulb on, and again a light circle appeared on the screen and the picture.
I checked the camera under a magnifying glass and I saw a white dust particle inside of the camera lens that was sticking to the sapphire glass and almost near the center of the camera unit, so anytime there is light directed to the camera, the dust would absorb it and it would show on the pictures.
In order to get rid of it, I would need to open up my iPhone and get everything out until I reach the camera module, but that is a solution I don't really want to do.
Do you think that if I take it to the Apple Store, my phone would qualify for a replacement because that dust came from the factory since I'm very careful with my devices and I haven't even put my phone once in my pocket to think it would be lint that somehow got inside.
Thanks in advance!

I had a similar issue with my iPhone 5.
What Apple did with mine was take a photo of a blank surface to verify the issue, then replace my phone as it's considered a warranty issue as store techs have no way of cleaning the interior of the camera lens.

IPhone 6 plus will not charge!

A few days ago, my iPhone 6 plus randomly bricked (would not turn on) for literally no reason. The charge was fine. The Apple Store replaced it on the spot with a new 6 plus. I've been having issues getting this one to charge, not to mention the battery life is awful compared to my previous 6 plus. Here are the charger issues I was having:
each charger I had gave me "this device is not apple approved" error message... even the one that CAME WITH THE PHONE.
When I could actually get it to charge... great.
The battery just died, so I went to charge it. It is no responding to either of my chargers, whether it is plugged into my computer's USB port or the charger which came with the phone. I am sitting here coming completely random things, like switching between random USB ports on the back of my iMac. Occasionally it will show the red charging battery and then quit.
I am extremely frustrated by this, and I am considering just returning this phone. I don't ever remember a brand new Droid being this bad.
Does any one have any suggestions outside of "go to the Genius Bar"? It seems that they just replaced by phone with a crappy one that also stopped working a couple of days later.

i am having same issue is there anyway to fix this without taking it back?

IPhone 4s back camera not working even after buying new iphone 4s

Back when the ios 6 updates were coming out in 2013 my iPhone 4 back camera stopped working, after trying way too many ways to reset the phone and finding others with this same issue I decided to start over I bought a new iPhone 4s so this one was better and 32gb instead of 16gb and it was 9 days later the back camera stopped working on my NEW iphone and still doesn't work to this day? What on earth should I do? How can this be fixed? I've tried hard reset, backing up the new phone, all the tricks I've tried on both phones do not work!!

A new phone has a warranty. So take it to an Apple store. If they can't fix it, they will replace the phone. Or do you mean: it stopped working after 9 days, but then you waited until the warranty ran out and then ask us?

IPhone 6 Plus will not allow sync without erasing content

I recently upgraded from an iPhone 5 to an iPhone 6 Plus towards the end of 2014. My iPhone 5 had always been synced with my former Windows laptop, however I upgraded to a Macbook Pro in mid 2014. My iPhone 6 Plus has never been synced with or even plugged into my old Windows, however I find now that when I try to sync music to my iPhone 6 Plus it will not allow me to do so without erasing my entire phone as a pop up claims my new iPhone is synced to my former Windows laptop, which is completely not the case. I have set up my iPhone 6 Plus on this Macbook, saved backups and installed updates with absolutely no problem until now. I refuse to erase the contents of my phone as I know I have never used the iPhone on the computer it claims I am synced with.
When setting up my iPhone I have restored from a backup of the 5 that was saved onto my new Macbook. The 5 had been synced with my Windows laptop, so is it because of using this backup that my phone cannot sync? Is there any way to avoid erasing my iPhone 6 Plus?

its saying it was previously synced with windows because of the backup. if you don't have anything synced from another computer then you have nothing to worry about. you can just erase because its only going to erase info that was synced from other computer and since you have no info it won't have anything to erase

IPhone 6 plus Bluetooth not auto connecting - sometimes

Hi all,
I've seen numerous sites about numerous issues with blutooth on iOS 8 and iPhone 6
But I do not have an issue pairing, that is not what this post is about. I can pair just fine. I can pair to my car just fine. It syncs the contacts just fine. I can play music, use Siri and make phone calls just fine.
BUT; infrequently; something happens to the bluetooth on my iphone 6 Plus. I get in my car an my phone has not connected one day, at random. I look at bluetooth on my phone and it makes no attempt to connect to the car, so I select the car, it thinks about it and then after a while says to make sure it is in range, couldn't connect.
To resolve this; I turn off bluetooth on the iPhone, and turn it back on. Immediately it connects to the car. This works if I do it from the slide up control center also.
Similarly, I've experienced Airdrop just fail to find anyone via bluetooth, until I do the same, Off On bluetooth on the phone and suddenly everyone appears again. Again intermittantly.
What I've Tried.
Restarting phone. Hard restarting phone. Resetting network settings. Unpairing all bluetooth devices and re-pairing (note pairing has nothing to do with airdrop) and many combinations.
Symptoms suggest the bluetooth chip on the iphone has crashed and just isn't receiving anymore.
iPhone 6 plus; latest OS. originally restored from a backup of an iPhone 4S running iOS8. No other issues with device other than wsometimes screen doesnt wake on first press of home button / lock button.
Has anyone experienced this issue? If so did you resolve it? If not do you have plans? This is starting to get annoying enough for me to just return it. My old iphone doesnt have this issue.

I have this problem too. My phone and car (2013 Hyundai Elantra GT) are paired and there's no problem with that. Normally, they automatically connect via Bluetooth when I start the car. However, occasionally, they don't. When I try to manually make them connect (from the phone or the vehicle), the connection fails repeatedly.
I'm not going to do "Reset all Network Settings" on my phone unless it's a last resort and guaranteed fix because I don't want to lose wifi logins to every wifi network I've ever connected to.

My iPhone 6 plus will not pair with my macbook air 2014

My iPhone 6 plus gives a message unsuccessful not supported when I try and pair with my macbook air.
both are running up to date iOS and OS X.

An iPhone will not pair via Bluetooth to a computer (Mac or Windows) except for personal hotspot and then only if your cellular plan supports it. https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-7722
If you are attempting to use Handoff/Continuity, that does involve Bluetooth but the devices are NOT paired; Bluetooth just needs to be on and the devices in range of each other. The following may help with Handoff/Continuity issues: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS5458
