IPhone Camera disabled?

This appeared, possibly due to the update, perhaps not.
After buying my iPhone I went on a road trip and took severa hundered pictures using my iPhone, and they turned out great!
About a week later, which is about two days ago, I turned my camera on on the iPhone and my camera appears to be disabled.
The screen is black and the camera button doesn't work to take a picture. If I rotate the camera, the button icon rotates, but thats about all I can do.
I really hope I accidentally disabled the camera, somehow, and the iPhone is ok. I really love it (WTG Apple!) and I hope my iPhone isn't broken
Any ideas before I try the Restore in iTunes?

Wow, thanks for your replies.
I have tried reset a few times also, and am now in the midst of my 1st Restore. Was hoping it would help, but from what I'm reading here I won't keep my hopes up.
It's a strange state the camera has got in, when you go to camera, you still see the shutter open, but just to a black screen, and the photo button is disabled, so the iPhone software must know it's not getting anything from the hardware.
Update: the Restore didn't work, though it did restore it to version 1.01, the version that I had the issue with afterwards, and not 1.00. Guess I will be heading to the Apple store tomorrow also.
Thanks for your help!

Iphone camera has disappeared. replaced with smugmug

I know many believe that viruses do not exist on apple. Perhaps you are right. However, my Iphone camera is gone. There is an outline of a camera, named "smugmug" in a different area on the screen.
Any help would be most appreciated. thank you.

I got it!!! the problem is inside the Exchange mailbox on the iphone (Do you use the Exchange email?)
I have 2 mailboxes hosted by Google ,supported by Exchange email on the iphone. The "Google Apps for business" email has a control panel wich can enable or disable some services and functions on smartphones.Camera was disabled! I am the admin for the Apps so I easily modified the preference via Control Panel.
If you use the Exchange email,this is the potential cause.
If not,you should restore the iphone without restoring from any backup. This should work. Then separately sync data like address book,photos,music and so on
Good Luck!

Iphone is disabled, try again in 1 minute

Yesterday I updated to 8.1.2. Today I received a phone call, and near the end I could hear buzzing of a notification -- two of them. When I hung up the phone (maybe 5-10 seconds later) it had the message "iphone is disabled, try again in 1 minute" (might not be the exact wording/punctuation) and I couldn't use the phone. It did bring me up with the emergency call keypad, but I didn't use it because I needed to get to my contacts or otherwise look up the number I needed to call at that point. After a short time (probably the 1 minute promised in the message) the entry screen for putting in my passcode appeared, and I was able to make my call.
I also had a dropped call earlier in the day, and that person immediately called me back with no problems (might just be a coincidence.)
The phone seems to be fine, but having it turn itself off is quite unnerving. Does anyone have any idea what happened? Does this sound familiar?

Hi cathy fasano,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
The alert you received happens when the passcode on an iOS device is entered six times in a row.
Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
I realize the notification came up in a very short amount of time after the call you were on ended. In this situation, I would first suggest troubleshooting the touch screen. It may be possible that the touch screen thought it was receiving input for your passcode. Please use the attached article for information on troubleshooting touchscreen.
If the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond to touch - Apple Support
Cheers,
Joe

How do I sync iPhone Camera Roll over iTunes or WiFi Only (Not through 3G)

I have a problem withere due to low 3G allowances I need to sync the iPhone Camera Roll either direct to iTunes (USB ot WifI) or a way ti force iCloud sync to only go through WiFi (disable iCloud sync via 3G). Does anyone know how to do this?

If you are running Windows on a PC, define the Autoplay function to import your photos whenever you plug in your device. Personally, I would disable the "Autosync" within iTunes so that you have a chance for the photo import to complete before you manually click on the iTunes "sync"

How can I get the many photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad (no OS 7 on either) - thanks!

How can I get all of the photos from my iPhone Camera Roll onto my iPad3? Both are running OS 5x and 6x. Thank you -

Hey David152,
Thanks for the question. First, you’ll want to import the photos to your personal computer:
iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4083
After doing so, you can then sync the photos over to your iPad:
iOS: Syncing your data with iTunes

Also, you can enable Photo Stream so that new photos taken with your iPhone will automatically appear on your iPad. For more information regarding Photo Stream, see this resource:

What should I do when iPhone says "iPhone Is Disabled"?

I'm using an iphone 4s with a latest update (ios7). I tottaly forgotten the pasccode. I couldn't recall the password even after a day of thinking. My iphone ended up showing " iPhone is disabled" after several times of entering the wrong password. The iOS7 doesn't show the time remaining for the next passcode attempt. It took me approximately 1 minute to retry my next attempt. The second,third,.....time was about 10, 30minutes and so on. I think i've reached the maximum number of attemps. It has been 6 hours now and it still shows "iPhone is disabled". After trying my last attempt ( i guess it's the last attempt), I found a few video tutorials ( ios7 new bug) that show me how to access photo album even without entering the passcode. I saved a picture of my phone's password in my photo album the night after changing it. Are there any ways that could help me to remove "iphone is disabled" so that my phone will be back to normal and I can access my photo album using the new trick that i found on youtube?? I read several sources saying that when i connect my phone to itunes ( computer that I've synced before ), i'll be able to re-enter my password. I just want to remove the "iphone is diabled" icon from my iphone so that it'll show "slide to unlock" and i'll use the trick to access my photo album. If that's not possible, how do I restore my phone without losing all the data.
1) i need to find a way to enter password
2) restore phone without losing data.
PLEASE HELP ME. I HAVE SO MANY EXTREMELY IMPORTANT VIDEOS IN IT. HELPPPPPP

Why is my iPhone Camera Roll using 10.0 GB but my Photo Library only using 6.3 GB?

When I look at usage in my iPhone, Camera Roll is using 10.0 GB, but Photo Library is only using 6.3 GB. I do not have Photo Stream enabled. Why the difference?

In my case, Camera Roll is just the pictures taken on my phone and the remainder of the photos on my phone were synced from my computer via iTunes and are under "Photo Library". If you go to Photos and then tap Albums at the bottom right, it will show which pictures are in the Camera Roll. My Camera Roll usage is much smaller than Photo Library as I only have 2 pictures there since I regularly import them to my computer where I have more control and extra backup capability. I then sync back some that I want to also have on the phone.

Iphone camera not recognized in Windows 7

Hello Fellow iPhone users
I am having a problem with the iPhone camera on the iPhone 3g 3.0. I cannot get it to allow me to open up the camera to get the pictures off of it. When I go to Devices and Printers it shows the Apple Mobile Device USB driver and that is installed fine and it works in ITunes, however, it also shows the iPhone but with the yellow triangle and exclamation point. It says that the driver is not installed properly. The status is needs troubleshooting. When I go to properties, it says "The drivers for this device are not installed. (Code 28)". I have tried reinstalling iTunes, unplugging, replugging the iPhone. I have tried a different iPhone (a 3GS with version 3.1.2) with the same results(they both work fine in XP).
I have been trying to get this working for a few hours and have no idea what is wrong. Are there any other drivers I can get? How about reinstalling the usb drivers? This is on an Acer netbook, and it was working with Windows 7 starter, but when I upgraded to Windows 7 Ultimate, it stopped working. I assume it is a driver issue, but I don't know what other drivers I can use or which ones to change out. Other USB cameras are working fine.
Please let me know if you need any other information.
Thank you for any help you can provide.

Windows sometimes won't detect the phone and allow camera/scanner access if there are pics on the iphone not taken by the iphone camera. Email any non camera taken pics to yourself, download them on your computer, then delete the pics from the iphone. When you reconnect your computer it should start the camera/scanner download as usuall.

If you don't have Find My iPhone on, you can't lock it. You should report it to your carrier and your carrier might blacklist the phone from use.

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.
