My front camera wont open.

When I go to switch from my back camera (which works fine) to my front camera, It doesnt open. It just shows the closed shutter screen, and I cant get it to go away? Help? I have a iPod 5, IOS 6.0.1

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
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
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

4s front camera wont load

my iphone 4s front camera wont load! the back camera works... but not the front. it wont even work in cam wow apps, facetime, or anything.

Try clearing out your Camera Roll.
The next would be to Restore with your backup.
If still a problem, Restore as new, i.e. without your backup and see how it runs with nothing synced or downloaded to your iPhone.

If still a problem, take it in to Apple, especially if still under warranty.

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Restore as a new phone

Why has my iphone 4g been crashing in apps and camera wont open?

I will be playing in an app and it will randomly crash and the camera once open it shows the shutters closed and i can leave it open for as long as it takes for my phone to relock and it still wont open. I need to know whats wrong. thanks all.

did you get the most recent update? also you might have a lot of apps you need to update, or have too many apps open. to update apps just go to the app store and update all, and to close appls double click your home button and press down on one of the apps that comes up until it starts to wiggle and a - comes up, then touch that to close all your apps.

Lumia 800 Camera wont open

Hi the camera function in my brand new Lumia 800 wont open. This is both from trying to use the on screen button and side of phone button. I have tried changing the camera settings but this has not helped? Any suggestions please? Thanks

@jtsticks
As a pre-cursor to returning your device can only suggest that you perform the hardware reset press the Power key and hold it for 10 seconds, when screen turns black press the Power key to turn on the phone; After that the software / operating system (OS) reset returns the phone to its out-of-the-box state by Tap Settings > About > reset your phone - default Nokia lock code of 12345 unless altered by user (Note: that this procedure erases all consumer data!)

The shutter on my camera wont open

The shutter of my IPad 3 won't open.

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camea app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

After updating to io5 my front camera wont work, have done a restore but still no good,any ideas anyone

I have an iphone 4 and have updated it to io5, the camera on the front does not work now, it will not open the shutter, I restored it but still no joy, has any one had this before and how do I fix it please

I am having the SAME problem. It is making me want an Android this is so FRUSTRATING! Here's my issue:
I have an iPhone 4 with 5.1.1. It fairly recently decided to have tons of issues connecting to Wifi. The 2 places I connect to Wifi are my home and my work. At home, my phone manages to about 95% of the time find the wifi signal, but I have to go manually put in my wifi password every time I want to connect, otherwise it'll just stay on 3G. When it doesn't find the signal I have to keep refreshing it and it eventually finds it.
At work, the wifi that EVERYONE else uses, I have the most trouble connecting to. I have to manually go into my wifi settings and find the signal. That is IF it actually finds it. About 50% of the time it just doesn't find it. Then about 40% of the time it sees it, but when I try to connect it says "Unable to join the network "SEWELL"" (that's the name of the Wifi). Then about 10% of the time I can find it and connect to it. AND then sometimes when I am finally connected it'll just kick me off in the middle of browsing and I'll go back to 3G. This happens with work and home.
I have tried EVERY troubleshooting method. I reset the network settings, I soft reset the phone, I did a full restore and deleted everything and still it doesn't work. I reset it all the time trying to get it to work and it just does nothing.
Any other suggestions or am I just going to have to deal with it until the Samsung Galaxy S III comes out?
Do you think if I took it to an Apple store they would replace it and that might help (iPhone 4 probably had it for over a year)? I know other people with iPhones (3G and 4's) and theirs work fine so I don't know how it can be the Apple 5.1.1 update?
HELP APPLE!!!!

IPhone 4s 16gb iOS 5.1 CAMERA WONT OPEN!!!!!!!!! Help me

My brand new iPhone 4s that runs iOS 5.1 won't open my camera. Everytime I click on it now the camera app just stays on the closed lens screen or it goes to a black screen. It doesn't work 75-90% of the time now. I went to my local AT&T store and they told me to do a hard restart which worked for a bit but know has no effect. My I have restored my phone plenty of times which didn't work and I have tried going in and out of Dfu mode and that also didn't work should I take it in and get a new phone? If so it hasn't been 30 days yet since my purchase but I don't want to get a refurbished phone. I have the apple care plan but I repeat I don't want a used phone . Taking it in is my last option but I would like to see if its fixable first . Help meeeeew

If restoring your phone as a new device has failed to solve the problem, then you have a hardware failure. Bring your phone back to Apple for exchange.

Ipad2 camera wont open

My new ipad 2 is just over two weeks old. The camera and video worked fine for the first week I owned - then, whilst on my flight to a holiday, i noticed it would not open. The shutter remains in the closed position after clicking to open the camera app and I'm very frustrated that it will not work anymore. The same thing happened on my relatively new iphone 4 a few weeks ago and now both devices are experiencing the same issue.
I'm hoping there is a fix out there as this is very disappointing - lucky I still carry and use an old fashioned digital camera on holiday!!!!
Any help/ advice appreciated please.

go to the home page
double click the home button
now hold down on the camera app icon till it starts to wiggle
now click the red circle
click the home button twice
now launch the camera app

Camera wont open

When trying to open the camera a message appears saying it couldn't open/start the camera close other applications and try again...can anyone out there please help???

Hi and welcome to the forums!
go to OPTIONS ABOUT and send me the file free and file total numbers.
You have low free memory left on your device. I usually average around 45 to 46 mgb.
Do you have a lot of third party applications on your BB weather, icall,bbalerts etc?
I do not know your experience level, so if you know this I'm sorry but please read and let me
know if this applies.
Most people close the applications by pressing the escape or red key. This does not close the applications.
Each application has a CLOSE option. For instance if you are in the calendar hit the menu key (spotted key) and scroll down to the bottom CLOSE is listed. Go through each application and press close. Go into the browser press menu and options select cache operations clear all categories and hit escape it will say cleaning memory.
Go to options - security - memory cleaning - enable it. The BB will now clean memory when idle for 5 minutes.
you will have an icon on you screen for memory cleaning make sure you press it. Make sure you use the CLOSE button each time you are done with an application.

If you follow these steps and keep up with your memory your phone will operate smoothly.
Please let us know if you need help with any of the steps.
PLease send me the numbers so we have a starting point
Thanks

Camera wont open/work.

have tried everything we know (reset, update etc) but the camera will not open and allow photo's to be taken.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Upgrade to Snow Leopard from Tiger - Front Row wont open when eyeTV open.

Hi,
Following a recent upgrade in the operating system I am having a few problems: -
1. The remote doesn't work when EyeTV (Eye Diversity to be exact) is open but I'm not watching TV. This is a problem because EyeTV is designed to be open ready for use with the TV remote. I have to open another programme in front of EyeTV for the remote to work.
2. The iMac seems slow to open programmes or to respond from waking. Is this just a normal feature of Snow Leopard?
Overall I like Snow Leopard but at this rate I'd be better off going back to Tiger.
Does anyone know how to resolve this issue?
Many thanks
Andy

Hi, do you remember any of the exact wording of the errors?
Very Important, how much Free Space is on your Hard Drive first of all? Click on the Macintosh HD on the Desktop, then do a Get Info on it.
"Try Disk Utility
1. Insert the Mac OS X Install disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
2. When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
*Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.*
3. Click the First Aid tab.
4. Select your Mac OS X volume.
5. Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk."
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=106214
Report any errors it has.
Then try a Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive.)
