My camera is not working. The shutter closes and won't open

WHat do I need to do to get the shutter open to take pictures again. When I go to camera, it clicks like taking a picture, but then the shutter closes and it won't open again and there is no picture take ?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps...  Perform a Reset... Try again...

Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

    Yes part of Apple Store
    You will get a service replacement ,maybe new maybe refurbed to new standard
    but in a "brown box" so no bits and pieces just unit for unit exchange
    They will know of iPhone history from their systems but always
    worth having proof of ownership but not essential (as far as I know )

  • IBooks says that my book is not in the correct format and won't open. How do I get a refund for 30$ worth of books I just bought that won't open?

    The books I bought said they were not compatible. Why would a non compatible book even be available?? I just spent 30$ on 6 books and now they won't work. Can someone help me?

    Do you have any devices connected to your computer such as printers, webcams, etc?
    Try removing them if you do. I've seen some cases of this and sometimes unplugging these devices will work.
    I'd also suggest running MSconfig to ensure that there's no conflicting software. You can get all that information here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2292
    Another suggestion would be trying to create a test user (Admin privileges would be necessary). If it's able to install in that user account, you know it's something with the user. But if the installation is successful, it should install system wide.
    I would recommend trying this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1926
    Good luck.

  • My camera freezes when i try reverse camera shutter closes then won't open

    i tried facetime i could see other side but they could not see me that is when i found out my camera freezes when i use reverse camera the shutter closes and won't open

    I had the same problem, and it happened within the first 2 weeks of purchasing the ipod. I had tried everything, including resetting it, restoring it, putting the app on the second homescreen, and trying other camera apps. Nothing worked. What I did was fill out a service request form on this website, and since it doesn't actually have anything for the camera, I submitted it under blank black screen and wrote about the camera problem in the notes area.
    I sent it out UPS (you won't have to pay, UPS knows the address and procedure well) on a Saturday, and got a brand new one sent to me and in my hands by Wednesday.
    If you send yours out, you'll want to back up all your apps and music etc on your computer before sending it, you will not get the same ipod back.
    But it was quick and worth it.
    I really hope this helps =]

  • My camera is not working. the app doesn't work

    Hi dear, My camera is not working. the app doesn't work: I'can't open the app either. It only works using skype, facing me. On the correct side is frozen. tks, bye, Federica

    Have you tried force quitting the Camera app? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If that fails:
    Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears. If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new. If that doesn't solve the issue, the device may need service.
    Follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
    NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
    If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808

  • Facetime Camera suddenly not working on any applications. Won't even show up/be recognzied.

    I own a 15 inch Macbook Pro Retina, Mid 2012
    and recently when I try opening facetime, photobooth, or even skype my mac won't recognize the camera. It acts as if I don't have a camera.
    This issue was going on with Mountain Lion, so I installed Mavericks. Still not working.
    I've already tried resetting my default keychain, updating to Mavericks, typing in some stuff in the terminal, restarted and shut down MULTIPLE times, going to disk utility and verifying/reparing utilities and the disk, nothing seems to work.
    PLEASE HELP ME

  • 2 day old ipad's camera is stuck on the shutter screen and a reset doesn't fix it.

    I am frustrated because I just got my ipad from the Apple store after waiting a month.  The video slider won't work and the shutter picture stays on when I try to use the camera.

    I would also recommend trying to "force quit" the camera application.  To do so, follow these steps:
    1.  Open up the Camera application.
    2.  Hold down the power button until you see the "slide to power off" screen.
    3.  Once the power off screen appears stop holding the power button and hold the home button.
    4.  This series of actions will force quit the camera application.  Relaunch it and see if that fixes it.
    Let us know how that goes.

  • My camera is not working, just a black screen, won't take pics please help

    WWhy won't my camera take pics..just a black screen ?

    CClose the camera app and reset the iPad.
    In order to close apps, you have to drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
    Next, 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

  • Mail 6.3 will not close and won't open an interactive window

    A day or so ago I tried deleting about 4 messages off mail and then shut the app.  A note came up and stated the messages could not be sent to the delete folder and then proceeded to close the window but the application remained as opened.  I tried to quit the app from the dock but it wouldn't close it.  I then tried shutting the system down and mail stopped it from closing.  I have a Mac Book Pro with Mountain Lion 10.8.3 and tried to let the battery drain to let shut down that way to no avail.  I've tried opening another window in Mail but it won't open a functional window (preview screen will not display highlighted message).  How do I force a close or bring mail back to use it properly?
