My camera has frozen, the shutter will not open for me to take a photo.

try soft reset dude (press and hold power and home button together, NOTE: the only time you let go of those buttons is when you see the apple logo, when you see the apple logo: let go quickly. your iPhone should restart, if NOT, turn it on and do soft reset again)
then test your camera.

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults.new iPod does not solve the problem (like it frequently does not solve the problem), then an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

My iPad camera shutter will not open

On my iPad i can not get the camera to work, the shutter will not open. There is plenty of memory and when i use photo booth the camera works on that. I have also carried out a software update but still not working.
Any ideas???
Many thanks

Quit the camera app completely and then try it again.
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try the camera app again.
If that doesn't work ....Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

HT201412 I dropped my phone and the camera shutter will not open- any suggestions? Thank you!!

I dropped my iPhone and the camera app no longer works. The shutter will not open, however I am able to take front facing punctures when using the Camera360 app.
Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

Well if the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, then you've broken your phone. Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

Try:

Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up

If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Iphone 5 Camera Shutter will not open

I have an Iphone 5 and the camera shutter will not open, i will not work in any other camera app either. I can open and reopen it several times and then manage to click the front camera which does work fine. I have called Apple Support (which isnt helpful) as have to pay for them to run through troubleshoot with me!!! - I have not even had the phone for a year, anyone sorted this issue or have this issue?
I have tried all resets and again same problem!!
thank you

From experience you can try a restore but this usually would be resolved by hardware service. Seek service at your local "Genius Bar" if possible.

Operating system? and how are you opening it? From a shortcut, from the welcome screen, from the organizer, from the program/application file itself?
