My IPad 2 camera shutter stays closed since iOS 8 update

MMy iPad camer shuttre stays closed since iOS 8

Hi BH1130,
Oh man! That definitely sounds frustrating. Let’s see if we can troubleshoot this issue so that you can get back to taking pictures and videos!
To begin, check out the steps in the following resource:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
http://support.apple.com/en-us/HT203040
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon. If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

Camera shutter stays closed. Does anyone know how to make it open or reset it?

When opening camera app, the shutter stays closed on the display and I can not take picture. Does anyone know how to reset it to make it work?

Close Camera apps
1. Double tap the home button to bring up the multi-tasking view
2. Swipe the Camera app upwards to close
3. The app will fly off the screen
4. Test Camera again

Why does the camera shutter stay closed?

Why does the camera shutter stay stuck? The camera won't operate. I've rebooted several times, I've changed settings several times, I've held by finger over each camera as demostrated on a youtube video. Nothing has corrected the problem.

That happens sometimes. See this ongoing discussion. An appointment at the Genous Bar of an Apple store is probably in order:

My ipod touch 4g camera wont work because the shutter stays closed

My ipod touch camera shutter stays closed when i start the camera app. This has been happening for a while but if i reboot the ipod several times then the camera will work. I have rebooted it about 35 times now and the shutter still will not open.

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem the I would go make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare. If you look at the right-hand side of the page with your post you will find other posts with the your same problem. They are under the heading More Like This.

Who can fix my Ipad 3 because it won't charge since IOS update?

Ipad 3 won't charge since IOS update, who can fix this expensive item?
Thank you

Try a different electrical out.
Make sure you are using the same power adapter and cable that came with the iPad.
And try charging via USB to a computer.
If nothing above helped, reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
If that doesn't help, restore the device > iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If nothing above helps, take your iPad to an Apple Store or Apple certified repair provider > Apple - Find Locations

First, double tap the home key and close off any apps that are in the task bar. You are really looking for an earlier instance of camera or photobooth that is still there. Then reboot the pad. Hold the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.
Then try the app again.
This has been happening off and on well before ios 5.

HT6058 my ipad screen will not rotate since latest update

my ipad scrren will not rotate since latest update, i have done everything i can think of including wha tapple told me

What have you tried, and what did Apple tell you ?
Is there a lock symbol at the top of the screen next to the battery indicator ? If there is, then depending on what you've got Settings > General > Use Side Switch To set to (rotation lock or mute notifications), then you can lock/unlock the rotation by the switch on the right hand side of the iPad above the volume switch, or via control centre : swipe up from the bottom edge of the screen and it's the right-most of the 5 icons in the middle of it (if the icon is white then it's 'on', tap it to turn it grey and 'off'). The function that isn't on the side switch is set via control centre instead : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4085
If there isn't a lock symbol then try a soft-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.

Iphone 4s Camera freezes, crashes, and shutter stays closed.

Whenever I try using the camera the shutter opens normally. But sometimes, when the screen tries to focus, the image freezes, a portion of the screen goes bright purple (or a number of other colors lately) before going black, and the shutter closes like I took a picture. Then it just stays closed and won't open.
I've tried suggestions from other support discussions such as turning it off and on, rebooting my iphone, and removing/cleaning the sim card but none of those helped.
Does anyone have any idea what's going on or have any other suggestions?

Hello totodog8,
I would recommend resetting the phone first, with this process.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.

IF that does not resolve the issue, I recommend restoring your phone with iTunes.

My iPad camera shutter is frozen. How do I fix it?

The shutter on my camera is frozen and I cannot use take photos or video at all on my iPad. I have tried resetting, all updates are current and still no fix.
Does anyone have a solution please.

If a reset doesn't work, you probably have a jammed shutter. Send it in for a check.

I cannot sync my events from iMac onto iPad in the same order since IOS 8.1.1

On my iMac ( OS X 10.6.8 ) I have in iPhoto 129 events with 19.000 pictures , organized in alphabetical order. I sync on a daily base with my iPad 2 , until 3 months no problem . I use the library as a working device also on spots without WiFi . Since IOS 8 my sync is f***** up . It is impossible to organize my pictures on iPad as they are organized on my iMac . Could someone please advice me on this.
tnx

There have been many reports about this problem, but no solution. You can sort albums you create on iPad, but there is no support at all to sort the synced albums, faces, and events. The results are random.
You may want to send feedback to Apple, that syncing is no longer working as expected. Use one of these links:

My iPod Touch is no longer charging since iOS update

Hi, so I have three iPod chargers, and as far as I know, they should both work perfectly fine. One is super old, I've had it since my first second generation iPod Nano, and one is practically brand new, I've had it for a few months. The new one and the middle one are both store bought chargers, non apple brand, and whenever I try to charge my iPod with these chargers, the same error message comes up, saying that charging is not supported with this accessory. All I can think is, they worked perfectly fine until the latest iOS update. Now, neither are charging my iPod, and I have to use my old iPod charger from my old Nano. This would all be fine if (a) that charger wasn't falling apart with electrical tape holding it together and (b) it wasn't shared with my mother. I was wondering if anyone else was experiencing this problem with store bought chargers. No way do both of these chargers just decide to stop working around the same time. I'm just wanting to know because I don't want to find out Apple created a new thingy in their update that stops non-apple accessories from working. (They already did that so that my car charger never worked with my new iPod).
Oh, and in case it matters, my iPod is the iPod Touch 4 (bought just a couple months before the iPod Touch 5 came out, so I think it's a 4s).

Does it charge on a computer? Does it appear in iTunes?
If so:
- 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.

- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Cannot shoot video ever since iOS update

Ever since I updated my mini ipad with the iOS I can't shoot a video

Have you tried resetting your iPad? Hold down the sleep and home keys until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if you can shoot video. often when things glitch, a reset can clear it up.

Missing ringtones since iOS update

I am having trouble with two items I purchased on 19 November, two ringtones.
They were downloaded initially but since I did an iOS update they have gone.
I have done the "report a problem" button and then tried to re-download them by plugging the iPad into my laptop and downloading them again from iTunes. On the status bar it looked like it was doing it but after the sync was completed they are still nowhere to be found on the iPad...
Can you help?
Thanks.
IPad mini, 8.1.1

I got it to work. First make sure you select to sync your "tones" on your phone options in iTunes. then I just keep "apply"ing the changes and restarted my phone and itunes after each round of "apply".It finally took after starting back up and syncing after the 2nd round of restarting. They will then show up as a seperate section under the "sounds" options, mine is on the top of the list, before the factory options.
Hopefully this helps someone.
