My camera on my iPhone 3gs has stopped working.

My camera will open, but will not take pictures. Also the photo app will open, but will not show me any of my pictures. This worked immediately after updating to iOS, but stopped working all of a sudden. I have tried turning off and on several times, and also restoring and reupdating. Nothing seems to be working.

same problem here. exactly same symptoms. lots of users have this problem. no solution so far.
same problem with third party apps like bar-code-scanning, receipt scanning etc... so it is not only the camera app. it is about the camera itself. not hardware again, because it stopped working without falling or drowning...

    Try a simple re-set. Hold power and home together for 20-30 seconds until you see the Apple logo.

  • My iPhone 3GS has stopped Ringing and only now Vibrates. Any ideas please to what the fault maybe or how I can get the ringing back. I've checked settings and all ok. The other day it did ring once then went to vibrate

    Recently my iPhone 3GS has stopped ringing all of a sudden. I've checked the settings and nothing has been changed. I've also made sure the switch on the side is not on silent/vibrate too.
    The other day it rang once then went to vibrate.
    Anyone have any idea?
    The phone is just over a year old too
    Would be grateful for any help

    There are two places where vibrations can be set.
    One is the Settings > Sounds
    The other area is Settings > Notifications
    If you have an app set to Alert, it may have a vibration set for it.

  • My camera on my iPad 2 has stopped working for the second time.

    My camera on my iPad.2 has stopped working for the 2nd time. Last time it just started working again after a couple of months.
    I have tried closing the camera app completely & also re-booting the iPad completely but to no avail.
    Any ideas anyone?

    You'll first need to have iTunes on your computer - from the summary page (the one that opens when you select the iPad in iTunes) it'll give you options for backing up and restoring it. On that page just select 'restore iPad' and that'll get it started.
    Hope it's just software then, those out-of-warranty replacements can get pricey.

  • The ringer switch on side of iphone 4s has stopped working and is now turning itself from silent to ringer without me touching buttons. Will this be covered under warrent? I have had the phone less than 1 year.

    The ringer switch on the side of my Iphone 4S has stopped working and the phone is now turning itself on and off silent without me touching any buttons. Will this be covered under warrenty? I have had the phone for less than a year. Although I have had the screen replaced, and wondered if this may void the warrenty?

    Yes, the screen replacement (I am assuming by you our a 3rd party) voided your warranty.

  • My iphone 4s has stopped working the wifi, IOS 6.1.3, warranty ends,  my problem will be solved or if I have to fight in court to work this divice

    My iphone 4s has stopped working and the wifi warranty ends in 30 days, I spoke with Apple support in Brazil and all steps performed as the attendant handed me this afternoon. I want to know if my problem will be solved or if I have to fight in court to get what is rightfully mine and equipment that really works.
    Thanks, André Garzo

    I live in Brazil and ensuring the apple does not work here and the nearest town for a possible exchange of equipment is 150 miles away
    if the USA certainly already have a new device in hand

    What would cause the microphone in the iphone 3Gs to stop working?

    Basic troubleshooting steps are restart, reset, restore.  If these are tried and you still have problems then you have a hardware failure and will need to have your phone replaced by Apple.

  • My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    My Lock button on my iphone 5 has stopped working, and I'm not sure what to do.

    This will be covered by the 1 year Warranty. Make Genius reservation or set up service and take or send to Apple for resolution. Until then try Settings App > Accessibility > Assistive Touch > ON > tap new white screen button > Device > Lock Screen. This can even turn iPhone OFF. To turn ON, connect to power, charger or USB of computer.

  • HT1212 my iphone 4s has stopped working it now has a black screen and although it seems to be turned on, its not responding to anything??? HELP

    My iphone 4s has stopped working it first stopped accepting my pass code then the screen went black, I have connected it to my computer but it is still not working just makes a sound when i connect it. can anyone help??

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • IPhone 3GS has stopped recording video - please help

    Hi - I have recently updated my iPhone to iOS 5......
    I don't know if my problem is related to that fact - but yesterday the iPhone stopped recording video.....
    It has been recording video fine recently (after the up-date) - but now when I click onto video record you can see the view from the camera lens fine......but as soon as i touch the 'record' button the screen freezes and it won't record and the screen is also frozen.......
    I have to click on the main menu button to get out of the screen.....
    Has this ever happened to anyone....?
    I must admit about 2 weeks ago I replaced the whole touch screen unit - but the video recording function (and everything else) has been working fine up until now....
    I don't know if it is important  - but the battery went completely flat (and was charged back up) just before the video stopped working....
    Any ideas or advice would be appreciated....
    Thanks

    I´m having the same problem.

  • Older accessories work w/ iphone 3GS, then stop working?

    So about a month ago the office moved from samsung smartphones to the iPhone 3Gs. sweet.
    When I first got it, I did some testing with the existing ipod accessories I have - a sony radio/alarm clock, and the headunit adapter I have for my mazda.
    The alarm clock worked fine with the exception of the "airplane mode warning" and the car adapter worked similarly but wouldn't charge. Fine with me, I'll use the classic on long trips anyway.
    But about a week and a half ago, I noticed that the alarm clock had stopped working normally. It would charge but not play music, using the clock's buzzer instead of playing my wake up music.
    Then today I plugged the iphone into the car for the first time in a couple weeks, and it started playing music when plugged in, but only through the phone's tinny internal speakers. Nothing I could do would route it through the car audio system.
    What could cause the iphone to suddenly stop feeding line-out to accessories? Anybody seen this before?
    Apologies if this has bee posted before, I did scan through a few pages of posts before posting.
    Thanks.
    P.S. Make itunes 9 work with XPx64. Please.

    Have you tried to restore it?

  • IPhone 3GS suddenly stopped working with wifi in only one location

    This is the situation.  I have an iPhone 3GS and it the wifi suddenly stopped working at my house (just with the iPhone).
    I have an Airport express (latest generation) and a time capsule (1st generation).  All of my devices (except a PC laptop which isn't much of an issue, and the iPhone) cannot connect to it.  The devices I have are as follows: Apple TV, iPod Touch, iPad 2, the "new" iPad, a macintosh computer.
    However, when I move the Airport express to my work location, and plug it into the ethernet there, the iPhone works totally fine.  It seems like the issue is just at my house.  The Time Capsule works intermittently sometimes; random devices cannot connect to the network sometimes.  The airport express seemed to fix this problem.  I have read that this problem is related to the operating system "Lion" but the network was working fine for months and months after I have upgraded to lion.  Sometimes both devices cease to work, and there is no internet to any devices in my home.
    The network is password protected, so that removes the possibility of neighbors connecting to the network.  The name of the network contains spaces and "symbols" which I have heard is an issue for PC's trying to connect to networks.  Both my home and my workplace are on the same internet provider.
    My questions are:
    Why does the airport express work with the iPhone at my workplace and not at my house?
    How many devices can a 1st gen Time Capsule handle at once?
    If I buy an airport extreme, will it fix this issue?
    How can I fix this?
    I have restarted the device several times (both the iPhone and Time Capsule) and it still didn't fix anything.

    Using the delete all content and settings option is not restoring the iPhone. Using the delete all content and settings option does exactly that - all content and settings are securely deleted except for the firmware, which is not a restore.
    If you do this followed by re-installing an app via the iTunes sync process, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will be lost. 3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is not stored with the app on your iPhone and is not stored with the app or synced with the app in your iTunes library on your computer.
    3rd party app settings and data created and stored by a 3rd party app is stored separately from the app on your iPhone and is included with your iPhone's backup which is updated as the first step during the iTunes sync process.
    Restoring an iPhone with iTunes completely erases the iPhone first followed by the firmware being re-installed. After the firmware is re-installed, you are prompted to restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup, which is the default selection. The other selection available is as a new iPhone. After either one, this must be followed by a sync with iTunes. If you restore from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installing an app that stores data you need to access, the data will be restored with the app. If you restore as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup followed by re-installng an app, the app settings and any data created and stored by the app will not be restored with the app since you didn't restore your iPhone from your iPhone's backup where this data is stored.
    If you restore your iPhone with iTunes as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup with no change, you can follow this by restoring your iPhone with iTunes from your iPhone's backup to recover the 3rd party app settings and the data created and stored by the app along with all other data included with your iPhone's backup.

  • The vibrate on my iPhone 4S has stopped working. Help?

    The vibrate on my iPhone 4S has recently stopped working. I've already checked all settings, I've restored and restarted my phone and nothing seems to work. Any suggestions?
