Mini camera icon shortcuts

Yesterday at an Apple class,were shown a quick tip to using the little camera icon on the bottom right of the screen. I need to review how that works again.

It is only present on the lock screen, (where you slide to unlock)
one touch launches the camera app and allows you to take photos only,
it does not actually unlock access to device.
exit camera and then you may unlock.
HTH,
Rob

It should be on the top row. If not go to settings> general> restrictions> camera and make sure the button is green.

You are talking to fellow users on these forums, not iTunes Support or Apple - I've asked the hosts to remove your phone number from your post.
For the Camera app, try closing it via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the iPad's screen, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't fix it then try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.
In terms of syncing, you will need iTunes on your computer - if you haven't already downloaded it then you can do so from here : http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
You can conncet the iPad to your computer and select it on the left-hand sidebar of your computer's iTunes (you can enable the sidebar on iTunes 11 on a PC via control-S), and use the tabs on the right-hand side of the iTunes screen to sycn your content to the iPad.

For the excel file, what app are you viewing/editing it in ? If the values are different then it may be that the app that you are using doesn't support all the formulas that are being used in the spreadsheet. Apps that 'support' excel documents include Apple's Numbers app, and from third-parties apps such as Documents To Go ('premium' version) and QuickOffice Pro HD.

Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

Why does my mini ipad reset when I click the camera icon?

Try doing a manual reset:
Hold both the home and power buttons at the same time until the Apple boot logo appears. No data will be lost.
If that does not work, restore your iPad: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414.

My FaceTime and camera icon got deleted from my iPad mini....is there away to get them back?

Default Apps like Facetime and Camera cannot be deleted. check other home screens and folders.
Also check Settings->General->Restrictions->Facetime and Camerai and make sure they are not turned off.

What troubleshooting steps have you taken? Have you checked Settings>General>Restrictions? Have you done a Spotlight search for it? Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?

How to get the camera icon on the locked screen so one can take pictures instantly without unlocking the device?

Verizon shows the camera icon on the locked [not home] screen. On the S4 Mini...[at least on my unit] the camera is not on the screen. So, to take a pix, one needs to unlock, then select the camera icon...then shoot.
How to solve this?

Can't guarantee the accuracy but here's a link. Read the 4 comments in addition to the instructions:

HT4623 how do i restore the safari and camera icons?

how do i restore the safari and camera icons?

Another thing that can happen is they get lumped together (or with other apps) by accidental screen touching. Mine ended up together in a folder called 'photography'. I just held my finger on it until they were wobbly, and dragged them out to the desktop.

Camera icon missing

I just updated my iPhone 3G to 3.0.1 & upgraded my service provider settings.
The phone rebooted after a successful install. However; since then my camera icon has gone missing and I cannot take any pictures.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks a lot, in advance.

This is a solution I received from a friend of mine for the Exchange mail issue; however, perhaps it would work for others.
In his case, his camera icon would disappear and none of the standard solutions would work. He would restore the camera back to when he had the icon, but the moment he set up his Exchange mail, it would disappear.
What he tried was turning SSL off, reboot the phone, and the icon came back! He turned SSL back on so now he has both the camera icon and Exchange mail.
I don't know about other mail programs/servers, but if they have policies like Exchange, perhaps you can try turning the SSL off to see if you get the icon back. If this does work, I suspect the icon may go away again whenever IT updates the mail policies and pushes a policy back out to the phone.
Hope this helps.

Blackberry 8900 Malfunction - lost camera icon, lost Twitter, lost Facebook :-(

I don't know much about Blackberries except that I love mine! I have had mine for 15 months without incident - recently I downloaded Twitter and Facebook from Blackberry App World and everything was hunky dory.
Today I went to answer a call and a message flashed up (all I caught of it was app error) then went to a white screen. After foooorever, I did a battery pull and when it rebooted, all I got was the 02 screen.
I turned off and turned back on my device and it all came back to life except:
1. The error "uncaught exception java.lang.NullPointerException appeares and
2. I lost my email icons, Facebook, Twitter and Camera icon
Since then I checked for updates (apparently I am completely updated) and restored my Blackberry and as a result, I have got my email back but not the camera icon (although I can access it via the Media icon) and I cannot get Blackberry App World, Facebook or Twitter (despite the Application Loader saying they are on my Blackberry).
Can anyone please help me get the App World, Facebook and Twitter back without crashing my Blackberry again?

No camera icon on lock screen even with double click

I have upgraded to ios5 and although there were a few glitches (deleted all my apps) it all seems to work, EXCEPT there is no camera icon on the lock screen. Yes I've tried double tapping the home button. It only opens up the Music controls. I tried resetting the iPad but that didn't work. I could try to re-install ios5 but I don't know how to do that...back to iTunes and do a restore? Will I lose all my apps again?

Interesting. I wondered if this was the case and couldn't find any documentation to that effect. I also saw from some iPad owners who claimed they had that icon, although maybe I'm wondering if they were confusing the Picture Frame icon. iPod users are also saying they have it on their screen. Where are you finding this documentation that it's not available?
There is never any list of everything that is NOT avaiable. However, the documentation about the camera improvements for the iOS5 update tells what IS available:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1456 states, in part:
Double click the home button when device is asleep to bring up a camera shortcut on iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPhone 3GS and iPod touch (4th generation)
iPad is absent from the list, so Apple is not promising the camera shortcut on iPad.

Camera icon missing after updating to ios 5

After updating to ios 5, the quick access camera icon is missing on the lock screen, I cannot access the camera unless I unlock phone. Has anyone else had this issue? I thought this was supposed to be one of the upgrade features?

Yes. Mine too. Infact, along with Quick Access Camera Icon, my phone is also missing FaceTime and Imessage and Icloud (if there is any) icons. The settings, however, for facetime and imessage looks "Activated" because it doesn't say "waiting for activation" anymore when I eneter my password. it reads "Your phone number and email address will be shared……"

I just downloaded I tunes on my new computer, I've had an apple I'd since the iPod mini came out, I signed in and went to download purchases from my iPhone. It downloads apps fine but when I click on a song it says "your computer is not authorized" ***??

Authorize the coumputer. Go to store in the top of the screen and authorize it.

Camera already on from lockscreen on iPhone 5c. How do I turn it off? The camera icon is running in the lower right corner and when I swipe up from the bottom of the lockscreen it brings up the camera running.

My camera is already running from the lockscreen, the camera icon is displayed in the lower right corner and when I swipe up the control center it brings up the camera first. If I swipe up again I get the control center. How do I stop the camera from staying on and coming up first?

I thought the feature was for it to be available for me to use, not to swipe up and have the camera already going. The control panel is not coming up first, it is the camera. In order to get to the control panel I have to swipe up again and the camera is still going. Annoyingly, I have had to disable the camera from the control panel so it isn't coming up first, and now it is unavailable to use quickly.
