My camera isn't working on my iPhone 4, what so ever please help!

Today out of nowhere my camera on my iPhone 4 stopped working. It allows me
To open the app but that's all I can't take a picture, switch to front camera, turn on
The flash, nothing. It won't work in any apps like Facebook, Instagram or snapchat either.
I've restored my phone, reset it using the lock and home button everything! My phone isn't
Smashed so the lens isn't cracked. Please let me know what's happening.

Try to set up the phone as new device without using the latest backup.

If the camera does not work after that, your phone has a hardware issue and needs to get serviced.

  • Whats Wrong with my ipod touch 4th gen? The sound works when connected to a speaker or headset but when its just the external speaker it doesnt work at all no sound what so evr PLEASE HELP!!!

    It Won't work what so ever Please Help

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so. There is a little switch in the headphone jack that disconnects the speaker when the headphone jack is inserted.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be 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.
    - 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack or other hardware problem

  • The rear camera isn't working on my iPhone 4s

    I can access the camera but the only one that works is my front camera.  When I open the camera app all i get is a black screen when i try to use the rear camera.

    Mine is doing exactly the same thing. The front facing camera is just as good as it ever was! My phone can tell the rear camera isn't working too. SnapChat does not even give an option to turn the camera around to the rear camera, the flashlight app is lighting up the screen like it can tell the flash wont go on and the phone flashlight has it grayed out so I cant even try to use it.
    My phone is past the 1 year warrenty so they wont replace it if this is a hardware issue. Restarting and restoring settings is not working.

  • Facebook not working anywhere on iPhone 4s ios5.1.1 please help

    Hi all Sorry to bother you but i have a real iPhone crisis here.
    I cant log onto facebook from my iphone 4s working on (ios 5.1.1) --- bot safari and facebook app are not letting me sign in, with any username or password ( i asked my friends to sign in even that did not work on my phone)
    I also tried to sign in using chrome on iphone, same broblem. what happens is that in the browsers, it does not redirect as it should after i click log in and insteat shows me a blank page with a long web adresss nd des nothing. al other websites like gmail etc are working fine
    in the facebook app , it gives me an error [   ERROR CODE 1: FBAPIERROR DOMAIN }
    I dont know what that means, i have even tried to delete cache and history from setting,
    there seems to be an incongruity between my phone and facebook domain or server, or something like that, coz rest of the (https) sites are working normally.
    even in other apps such as instagram, the facebook extension is not working.
    the problem is not speciifc to my fb account, i tried other accounts as well and i am able to access my facebook on my macbook pro.
    PLEASE HELP ME !!!
    PS I cant update right now , coz i have limited internet usage at high speed. i want to save bandwidth. so no ios 6 update suggestions please

    I got the problem sorted out.
    I was using a BB data plan from my previous device which worked fine up until the problem started. It appears that my carrier systems finally identified that my device was not a BB and therefore it was the data plan that caused the issue.
    Have resorted to a normal GPRS data plan and everything works flawless now.
    Maybe the info is useful to ouy all with the same issue.

  • My camera isn't working. How do I get it to be detected??

    I have used skype a lot and it's never been a problem. Now all of a sudden my camera isn't working in skype or any other application.

    AirDrop requires both Blutooth and WiFi operating, and works only between two iPhones model 5 or later.  No other iPhone models or other brands of phones support AirDrop.

  • My iPod touch 5 front camera isn't working, how do I fix it?

    My I pod touch 5 front camera isn't working. How can I fix it. I have also already tried to reset it multiple times.

    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

    Just bought the new iPhone4S yesterday, and my back camera isn't working/loading up. But my front camera works fine. What's wrong? Can anyone help?

    I had the same problem- go to Utilities, General, Use Side Switch To, and change it from Mute to Lock Rotation- this solved the problem for me.
    Good luck!

    Just got this problem fixed.
    This is what customer support instructed me to do for my iMac:
    Rest 1.
    Shut down computer and unplug power; wait 15 secs.
    Turn on computer.
    Shut down computer.
    Reset 2.
    Turn on computer.
    Before gray screen comes up, so almost immediately, press Option-Command-P-R at the same time.
    Hold down until you hear the turn-on noise, let go and let the system start up.
    This fixed my camera problem.

  • TS1315 My front facing camera isn't working

    Front facing camera isn't working when I click the icon to use it, it will freeze to the shutter. Help

    Reset: Hold down the Home button & Sleep/Wake button for about 5-10 seconds.  The phone should turn off, then start back up.  You should see the silver Apple logo.

  • I have done a system update  but my camera isn't working

    I have done a system update on an IPone 5 but now the camera isn't working properly

    Close all open apps by double-tapping the home button, then swiping up and off the screen with the app window (not the smaller icon).
    Reset your device: hold down the home button along with the sleep/wake button until the screen goes black and you see the Apple, then let go. (No data loss)
    If this procedure doesn't work, back up and restore via iTunes. If the problem continues, restore as a new device and test. If the problem is solved, there is some kind of corruption in your backup file or maybe it's one of your apps causing problems. If it continues, take it to an Apple Store for evaluation of a possible hardware problem.
