My iPad camera iris will not open?

My iPad camera iris will not open and camera will not function

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera '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 Camera 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 then you could try 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.

  • My iPad camera shutter will not open

    On my iPad i can not get the camera to work, the shutter will not open. There is plenty of memory and when i use photo booth the camera works on that. I have also carried out a software update but still not working.
    Any ideas???
    Many thanks

    Quit the camera app completely and then try it again.
    Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar. Try the camera app again.
    If that doesn't work ....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 - let go of the buttons.

  • I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.

    I re-downloaded my Photoshop recently and Adobe Bridge no longer displays my Nikon NEF files and Camera Raw will not open them.  I get a message saying that Camera Raw does not support my camera type but it always has in the past.  The bridge no longer shows the picture view of my NEF files.  These are Nikon NEF files from the Nikon 5100 DSLR camera.  How do I fix this?

    When you re-installed Photoshop, you also re-installed the version of Camera Raw which shipped with Photoshop - in other words you reverted to an older version of Camera Raw which does not support the D5100.

    The D5100 was first supported in Camera Raw version 6.4.

  • TS4006 The camera shutter will not open and the camera screen is black front and rear ipod 4, tried force quit and reset, help?

    The camera shutter will not open sometime and the camera screen is black. It seems to open as if were switching to the rear but that also appears black? i have force quit the app and hard/soft reset, help?

    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.

  • Iphone 5 Camera Shutter will not open

    I have an Iphone 5 and the camera shutter will not open, i will not work in any other camera app either. I can open and reopen it several times and then manage to click the front camera which does work fine. I have called Apple Support (which isnt helpful) as have to pay for them to run through troubleshoot with me!!! - I have not even had the phone for a year, anyone sorted this issue or have this issue?
    I have tried all resets and again same problem!!
    thank you

    From experience you can try a restore but this usually would be resolved by hardware service. Seek service at your local "Genius Bar" if possible.

  • Camera Roll will not open

    Hello!.
    The other day I took a picture of my dog, and after I took the picture the lense would not open back up. I tried turning off my phone but it wouldn't let me do ANYTHING, so I let it lock itself. I checked after it locked itself, and my camera would open; however, my camera Roll will not open. I tried taking a few pictures and it still won't open. In my camera, the picture in the bottom left if the last picture that I took and I can access the camera roll from there but it is the pictures i took before the one of my dog and they are all blurry!!
    I've synced my phone several times, turned off my phone and everything. What do I need to do? HELP PLEASE!!!

    fins1212,
    There are a couple of things you can try.
    1. Try to reset sync history:
    -Go to Application
    -Open isync
    -Next to blue Apple (Top Left of screen) Click on iSync and go to preferences
    -In Preferences click on Reset Sync History
    Try to sync phone again.
    2. If the above steps did not work try this.
    -Go to applications
    -Open Image Capture
    -Next to Blue Apple, click on image capture
    -Go to Preferences
    -At the top of the page you will see - When a camera is connected: Open
    -Make sure the drop down menu shows iPhoto
    Hope that helps.

  • Nikon camera RAW will not open in PS CS3 on Win 8

    I have photoshop CS3 extended ver 10 and Elements 6.  I installed both on a new PC with windows 8.  PS will not open my RAW files taken with my Nikon D40X although Elements will.  PS opens tiff and jpeg.  I went to Adobe updates and tried to install ACR 4.6 (Camera raw 8bi.)  The Error message for bothe the opening RAW files and installing the update is, "Could not complete your request because it is not the right type of document." I uninstalled PS and Elements and reinstalled just PS.  Same problems. I transfer the RAW files from my camera to computer by copying them through a card reader. 
    Thanks for any help.

    PS and PSE each have a different place to put the  .8bi file, so manually do the updated according to the instructions for each product on this page:
    http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=4040
    Re-installing PS or PSE will revert the ACR plug-in for that software back to the oldest version that originally came with that version of software so you’ll need to update using the contents of the ZIP file, again.
    You can do a Help / About Plug-in… / Camera Raw… in PSE and PS to see what version you have installed in each.  Plug-ins are scanned at startup, so you’ll want to restart each product after doing the manual install.

  • HT201412 I dropped my phone and the camera shutter will not open- any suggestions? Thank you!!

    I dropped my iPhone and the camera app no longer works.  The shutter will not open, however I am able to take front facing punctures when using the Camera360 app.
    Any suggestions would really be appreciated!

    Well if the basics (restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new) don't work, then you've broken your phone.  Bring your phone and $199 to Apple for an out of warranty replacement.

  • Purchased new camera nikon d7100 and camera raw will not open any nef files, talked to tech support and they assured me an update would fix issue, did update and have  same issue still

    I have photoshop cs5 and after purchasing a nikon d7100, photoshop will not open any of the nef files like it did with my nikon d90, I contacted support and they assured me after update that issue would be resolved...still not resolved, any suggestions?

    Good day!
    Please check this list to see which version of ACR supports the camera:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    Then please check your version (Photoshop > About Plug-In > Camera Raw).
    As you should see your version is not up to the task.
    You can either buy a license for a more current version of Photoshop (CS6 is still available) or switch to the … Cloud License model or use the free DNG Converter.

  • After updating Camera Window DC, camera lens will not open

    I had been for a few years using with no problems my Powershot SX100 IS with the software provided at the time of purchase on an earlier Macmini. I would connect the power cable and usb cable and was able to take macro photos of coins etc.
    I recently switched to a new Macmini and installed the software from CD (solution disk ver. 31.1) that accompanied the PowerShot when purchased. I did notice not everything was able to install as previously. So I updated from the software on your site to  include Camera Window 8.9.1.5, but now my PowerShot SX100 IS lens will not open while connected to my Mac.
    The software installed is as follows: ibxm-inst-1-1-0-17-u01-9l.dmg.gz, psx-upd-3-2-6-28-r8-u03-9l.dmg.gz and cdx-inst-8-9-1-5-u01-9l.dmg.gz.
    What can I do?

    footlooze,
    Because of how new OS 10.9.1 is, there is not a version of CameraWindow DC that is officially compatible yet.  I recommend that you continue to visit the website as new updates are made available in the future.

  • Bought iPad, but iTunes will not open in Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was loaded from Windows XP SP 2.  Help

    The new version of iTunes will not open on new computer with Windows 7.  Old version of iTunes was Windows XP SP2 carried over from old computer.  There seems to be some type of color incompatability.  Any help?

    Uninstalled old iTunes, deleted all old iTunes files in Program Files folder, except two that would not delete, and deleted all iTunes I could find in the registry.  Downloaded and install latest version of iTunes.  iTunes will open and quickly close with black windows, twice.  Troubleshooting says "incompatible Application."  Any suggestions?
