My camera is frozen

Have tried restore on iTunes and restore to new on phone.   The issue is not changing even with that.  Happened about a month ago and haven't been able to get it to work since.
As soon as I click on camera, whatever the camera is facing is what it is frozen on.   Sometimes the shutter won't even open and the video does not work either.  None of the apps that you can take a picture with work either like Instagram, pict stich etc.
Not sure what else to do.

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart... Reset... Restore from Backup...  Restore as New...
If you try all these steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step...
Be sure to make an appointment first...

  • HT1454 my video camera is frozen,what can I do to fix it?

    My video camera is frozen on my Ipod, what can I do to fix it?

    - First try a reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next would be a restore.

  • My iPad2's camera is frozen what can I do?

    my iPad2's camera is frozen what can I do?

    When you say "frozen" what exactly do you mean? The first troubleshooting step would be to stop all processes on the device by double tapping on the home button, seeing the processes and closing them.  Then reboot the device.  After that, if it doesn't work, a restore would be in order.  Have you tried those things?

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

    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.

  • IPhone 4 is overheating after seconds of use, brightness won't work, and front camera is frozen. Suggestions as what is wrong?

    So one day my front facing camera decided to just not work. I tried the restore and everything possible, it's just frozen.
    Luckily the other camera works. Last week, I woke in the morning and used my phone like normal and I noticed it was so hot. I let it sit and it cooled down and then went on my Facebook app, where not even a minute within use started to get extremely hot. My battery life has decreased significantly and my phone also gets extremely hot when charging. The weird this is that whenever I'm making a phone call, It doesn't get hot and my guess is because the screen goes dim. So i tried turning down the brightness on my phone which it became apparent that my brightness switch doesn't work either. I have tried a restore but to no avail..
    The fact that my phone is getting so hot so quick really scares me.Has anyone experienced anything similar? Even though the camera not working and the battery issue happened at different times, I thought I should bring it up in case they are in fact related. Thank you all so much.

    I happen to be experiencing then same problem again!
    I have followed all the steps and my phone will just not come right. I love my iPhone but I have no clue what is going on sometimes it will just freeze in the camera app and I have to restart my whole phone.
    I have downloaded another camera app to see if it would make any difference and it hasn't.
    Should I take it back to the service provider that I have my contract with and get them to send it in to apple? Because the phone is only 3 months old.
    Please Help me or advise me on what to do because I don't want to leave it and it causes more problems.

  • Iphone 5 camera is not working soon after I downloaded ios7.  Camera is frozen and shows a blur picture.

    Hi Apple,
    Can you tell me if there's a reason for my camera not working on my iphone 5.
    Soon after downloading ios7 , the camera's front picture has frozen and shows
    blurred picture . The app itself is frozen also  , can't bring up photos from photo album .
    Also I reset the phone and still the camera is not working .
    please advise me as what to do next .
    Regards.
    Reggie.

    Hi Patoraffo,
    I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera is not functioning
    - 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 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. 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.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

  • Camera app frozen

    My camera app decided to start freezing up today. I've tried force quitting the app, resetting the phone, and restoring the phone and the problem persists. When I open the app it looks like it's opened like normal but the picture is black and it won't allow me to do anything within the app. This issue carries over to any app that uses the camera. Snapchat is frozen, genius scan is frozen, and facetime is frozen. It doesn't seem to be a hardware issue as the camera app will sporadically work and i see a clear image from the camera. What could be causing this issue and how can it be fixed??

    Restore as new, if the issue persists, take the device to Apple.

  • My camera is frozen, shutter won't respond. Any idea?

    Camera on my iPhone is frozen, the shutter won't respond. Any idea?

    iPhone 4, iOS 5.0.1
    I've been an iOS app developer since 2008 and a mac developer before that.  It's not a memory issue, nor a crash (no crash files).
    It's doesn't matter how many apps are running. could be 25 apps or just the camera.   Rebooting, hard resets and iOS restores have not fixed the issue.  Nor has turning on and off location services.
    If I am on WiFi the camrea shutter will not open.   Close the app (as in really closing the app), go into settings and switch off WiFi and all is good.
    I was just suggesting that may be something you want to try as it's my particular problem.

  • Iphone 4s camera shutter - frozen

    Hi
    I have had my iphone 4s three weeks, and as on Sunday camera shutter is 'frozen' launches camera, but then shutter will not open (front or back. Have closed in background and re-opened, have disabled in restrictions, and then re-enabled, switched on and off (many times) let battery die and recharged and have resynched it. I am on latest IOS. Any other suggestions/ideas?

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • Camera roll frozen & low resolution photos on 'save image' since 4.1 update

    Have a couple of problems with my 3GS since I updated a few days ago to OS 4.1.
    The camera roll when accessed from the home screen freezes when I click on any images that I saved from a website using Safari, though any images that I took using the camera can be clicked on and viewed in high resolution.
    Also, any saved images using the 'save image' option on Safari from websites are chopped and are of very low quality.
    Any suggestions on how to rectify the problems would be much appreciated.
    Like I say, this problem has occurred since I updated to OS 4.1.

    Did you do any of the basic troubleshooting steps since updating, i.e. restart, reset, restore?

  • My front camera is frozen.

    The front camera is now not working.  My girls were using it to facetime.  Once they finished, facetime crashed and didn't end correctly (probably user error).  After I reboot, the back camera will work.  If I hit the switch button it freezes.  I can't switch back to the back camera.  I just have a closed shutter. 
    Software is current.  Reboot didn't help (hold power and home button until apple appears).  This is the 2nd time.  1st time they had to give me a new iPad (a few months ago).  What can I try?
    iPad 2
    OS 5.1.1
    Thanks,
    Monica

    From what I have seen in the past, usually quitting the apps, FaceTime and the Camera app and then restarting the iPad will unfreeze the shutter and the front and back camera switch.
    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. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.

  • My iPhone camera is frozen

    ok so my camara is frozen. I restarted it and also rest the phone. it will show me the photos that i have taken but when i want to take a photo the screen is black and won't take one sometimes it will show me the camara on the front that face u but not on the outside. even that freezes too.

    Try a reset... press the home and sleep/lock buttons until you see the Apple logo, ignoring the slider. Takes about 5-15 secs of button holding and you won't lose any data or settings.

  • IPhone 5 Camera has frozen

    The phone is about 7 months old. I have tried several hard resets and nothing makes any difference. Any ideas? Thanks

    The Camera App opens and the shutters are visible. The screen looks normal with "buttons" in the correct places at the bottom of the screen. The Video slider works but the camera does not open. Sometimes the AUTO and OPTIONS and facility to reverse the cameras are visible instead of the shutters. 

  • My iPhone 3GS camera has frozen

    My iphone3gs camera frozen

    Try forcing the Camera app to quit, you can use this Apple doc as a guide -> iOS: Force an app to close
    If that doesn't do it, try restarting the iPhone.
