My iPhone 4 camera will not come on the little icon to switch it from picture to video flickers and it will stay black? Help?

My iPhone camera has not being working, It was dropped and it would not turn on, I took it to a phone repair shop and he fixed it and said that the camera would work if I reset it on iTunes. I did that a couple of times and then I restored it and it still will not work... HELP?!?!

The camera has failed on the device, contact apple and see if they will cover it under warranty (If it is still in warranty). Also, apple does not cover physical damage to the device that you have caused unless you have apple care plus. Out of warranty replacements are 99 dollars for the iphone 4 i think.

  • Hp TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light will come on but no image appears in the window.

    Hi.
     I have an HP Pavilion dv7 6178us Entertainment PC I just bought it last week. My operating system is Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1 64 bits.
    The problem I have is that yesterday I install Skype in the computer and realized that the HP TrueVision HD web cam does not work. The light right next to the web cam will light up but no image will appear on the screen.
    I have checked the software that  I have in the computer for the webcam and the program is CyberLink YouCam BE version 3.5.
    But the web cam does not work. The light right next to it will turn on when I activate Cyberlink, Skype or Messenger but no actual image will come out in computer screen. The computer is fully updated BIOS, Windows 7 and HP.
    But the web cam is not working. Could you help me fix this problem?
    Best regards:
    JEIO71

    I have a pavilion dv6 notepad. it's about a year old.
    about a month ago internal webcam truevision hd stop working.
    Called hp tech. they sent a box for me to ship the laptop.
    they hp tech attempted to correct the problem via internet
    did not work.
    wanted me to do a restore to factory setting i stopped him there.
    Webcam detected in device manager.
    the webcam light come on but no image.
    I actually see the back drop through the image space.
    running windows 7, fully updated.
    I found many comments on the web about the webcam connector disconnecting.
    But if it was the case with my computer, the webcam would not be detected.
    Many other comments suggests to do a restore to factory setting but \i read also that
    does not work often.
    I read many comments where disappointed clients believe hp should update
    the software but the driver is actually microsoft dating back to june 2006.
    Is it possible it's  a hardware problem, ie webcam is burned out.
    I have received a box to sent it and know they will do a system restore.
    Don't feel to go that way.
    Many comments refers to hp making an effort to get a driver update.
    ps I decided to purchase a logitech webcam, works perfectly.
    What else can I do to fix this problem.
    Can hp send me another internal webcam.

  • IPhone 4S camera will not focus

    My iPhone 4S camera is not focusing, it is the camera on the back. One time I tried to take a photo of a document on paper and it just wouldn't focus on the writing, I turned my phone off and on and then it seemed to be working and focusing again. Recently today I tried doing the same thing but it wouldn't work. I tried turning it off and on but still no luck, a friend told me it was because of the 6.0.1 update that it wasn't focusing but I'm not sure. If someone can help me out that would be really appreciated, thanks

    It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
    Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
    When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
    iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
    Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
    PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.

  • Having trouble with iPhone 5 camera shutter not opening

    Any ideas what I can try. Sometimes it works and other time the shutter locks up.

    Hello Wildcat74
    There are some steps to try out that I have highlighted for you in the article below for iPhone hardware troubleshooting.
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2802
    Camera is not functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

  • My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?

    My iPhone 5 rear camera was not working, now the rear camera is also not working. I have procured the phone in 2012 from San Fransico. USA Can anyone help me, please?

    No one here can help you. If your phone is no longer under warranty, a third-party repair shop will most likely be your best bet. You can't mail the phone to Apple, in the US, as Apple does not accept international shipments. You could mail it to a friend/relative, in the US, & they could take it to an Apple store for you. Some Apple stores repair iPhones. Otherwise, you're looking at an out of warranty replacement.
    Good luck.

  • HT2693 The sound will no longer come through my headphones on my iPad I've tried several different headsets.  The sound works as normal without the headphones but will still not come through the headphones even thoug I have tried to reset it twice. Please

    The sound will no longer come through my headphones on my iPad I've tried several different headsets.  The sound works as normal without the headphones but will still not come through the headphones even thoug I have tried to reset it twice. This is the new ipad with retina display and is only 2 months old and otherwise works fine. Please help!

    - Try cleaning out/blowing out the headphone jack. Try inserting/removing the plug a dozen times or so.
    Try the following to rule out a software problem
    - Reset the iPad. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPad: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. Seems you have a bad headphone jack.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Apple will exchange your iPad for a refurbished one for this price. They do not fix yours.
    iPad Service Answer Center                 
    A third-party place like the following will replace the jack for less. Google for more.
