Hmm, then it could be something somehow with the actual camera sensor behind the lens or maybe software issue. But i'd recommend ringing Apples support line and seeing if they can fix it, if it's still in warrantly they should do it free of charge.

Welcome to the Apple Community.
    1.    First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
    2.    Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
    3.    If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

I have already reported it to the police and they haven't called back, i also have the find my iPhone app in it but I don't have the location thingy turned on so what else can I do to locate it pleazz help this iPod is relly valuable to me I had gotten it for Christmas and now I proved that I can't be trusted with it HELP :c

Police don't "track down" lost items, per se. They'll keep your information on file in the event that someone finds your iPod and turns it in. Otherwise, there's nothing the police can or will do in regards to finding lost property.
Sorry, but your iPod is most likely gone for good.

I have lost my iPhone. Do I need to report here to Apple? I have got all the IMEI no. and serial no., and also I have already reported to the police. What else can I do to protect my privacy inside my phone?

I have lost my iPhone.
Do I need to report here to Apple? I have got all the IMEI no. and serial no., and also I have already reported to the police. What else can I do to protect my privacy inside my phone? Or is there any way to locate my phone through those numbers? (I do not have the FindMyPhone apps)

If you had a pin code lock on the phone then your information is safe. If not then nothing in it is safe and I would suggest changing passwords to all accounts you had on the iphone ASAP. Also if you had find my iphone activated on the phone then you could go to icloud and wipe the phone remotely. If you didn't then there is nothing you can do about it.

Several months ago I kept getting prompted to "update" my iphoto library. I finally gave in and clicked on the update button and EVER SINCE THEN, ALL of my photos have been 'grayed out' and I can't see ANY of them unless I click on the photo and open it

Several months ago, I kept getting prompted to 'update' my iphoto library. When I finally clicked on the 'update' button, it 'greyed out' ALL of my photos. Now ALL of my photos are grayed out and I can't see ANY of my pictures unless I click on each grayed out photo individually and open them, ALL of the thumbnails are greyed out. It is THE WORST!! I have no idea how to fix this problem and its been MONTHS AND MONTHS of *** pain. Anyone?? Please help!!!
Thanks so much!!!

Back up your iPhoto library, Depress and hold the option (alt) and command keys and launch iPhoto - rebuild your iPhoto library database
and please tell us what version of iPhoto and of the OS you have

Why can't I get Adobe Flash player for iPhone, and if not, what else can I

Help! I want to view videos and can't do it. No flash player available. Why not?!!
Please help.

There is no flash player for the iphone and Adobe would be the one to develop one, not Apple. And there are no plugins to install instead, as far as I know.

How come my iphone 3gs camera takes pix even w/o me pressing the ...

How come my iphone 3gs camera takes pix even w/o me pressing the "shutter button"? this doesn't happen everytime tho. just there are times when it does.
could my iphone be defective?

Hi,
sorry, I really don´t understand what you mean. - Can you please explain
in an other way?
Does the shutter button on the screen work sometimes and sometimes not?

IPhone 3GS froze during iOS 5.1.1 update - how do I get out of recovery mode without having to restore?

So I tried to update my iPhone 3GS to iOS 5.1.1, like iTunes told me to do, and it froze part way through the installation for a couple of hours. I tried to "reset" the iPhone by pressing both the home and power buttons simultaneously, but now iTunes tells me my iPhone is in recovery mode. From my limited knowledge, it seems I need to restore my iPhone, but I don't want to lose anything, like my SMS history.
Is there a way to get out of recovery mode without having to restore?
Thanks!

I came across this post as my iPhone 3Gs had gone into recovery mode on its own accord.   I had hundreds of photos unsaved and was gutted when I saw this post, I felt even worse as it was not the information (gdgmacguy) I wanted to read.
Unfortunately, the above post is simply wrong! A system cannot destroy information in a blink of an eye.   If it were that easy, the forensic teams across the world would have a hard time. A criminal could simply force a phone into recovery to remove all the data. Please!
I managed not only to take the phone out of recovery mode but also, salvaged all the data held on it.
To be fair, I am a little annoyed at Apple for not offering a salvage option on the device for such a situation. And it may be that they will not like me sharing this information, in which case I believe this view to be morally wrong because photos are so important. We all make mistakes, in terms of forgetting to backup from time to time.
What I used was the Redsn0w software, running as an administrator in XP compatibility mode. In the ‘Extras’ section it as a Recovery Fix option. It simply runs some software that takes the device out of recovery mode. I had to run it twice for some reason but the second time (out of desperation) worked a treat. The phone is now exactly as it was before it went into recovery mode. More to the point, it allowed me to backup all the photos and videos that I had failed to do before hand. And let’s face it, photos and videos are usually the most valuable stuff we keep on our phones.
I hope this help anyone in the same situation. I really hope someone from apple reads it and is able to convince the bosses that a recovery option is very important. And to take note that YES it is possible to recover data on a phone stuck in recovery mode. And more than likely it would be easier for apple, compared to other non-apple professionals.
Good luck.

IPhone 3GS Camera App and Photo App Not Opening

Hi, my iPhone 3GS Camera Application and the Photo Application (Base Apple Photo-related apps "Photos", "Camera") will not open. When I tap either of them, it takes me back to the Home Screen and for a brief moment says "Library Updating", I have been waiting over a day for this to work and it still wont open.
If more information is required please specify what areas are needed below.
Thanks,
Datzy.

ok seems you have to do a restore...but in the process your photos might be not backed up so i suggest you download this
http://code.google.com/p/iphonebrowser/downloads/detail?name=SetupiPhoneBrowser. 1.93.exe
(windows) and browse for the photos and keep it some place else...

Why wont my address book open ever since I made a smart group?

I was working on making a smart group and AB crashed. OK. I would LOVE to delete that smart group and move on with my life, but i cant even open AB. It doesn't respond. I called support and the person i talked to suggested to do a couple things but they didn't work. Another note, ever since this has happened, other things have gone awry-for instance spotlight doesn't work and the dock gets glitchy.
Ive already made a backup of the Address Book folder and done a handful of things to the file trying to change it. No luck.
I reinstalled AB. No luck.
Does anyone know how i can get this working again?

Hello, and welcome to the Discussions.
Not sure about all that you report, but try using the Finder to open Home/Library/Preferences, and locate the file named com.apple.AddressBook.plist and drag it to the Desktop. Try launching AB again after doing this.

Any pointers to a solution.

I have the exact same problem. And my wife's iphone 5 also has the same problem. Anyone knows the resolution? It worked fine before we restored both phones. Thanks.
