My iPhone 5c rear camera won't work and the led light doesn't work either

At first just snapchat wouldn't work and then I tried my actual camera and neither camera worked. I turned it off and on again and the front facing camera works but the rear facing one doesn't. Snapchat wont use either one. Then I pulled up my settings bar thingy and the led light button is all greyed out. I rebooted my phone and it did nothing. Im not sure what to do, help please!

Set it back to factory settings without using any backup data. If the camera does not work after that, you'll have to get the phone serviced.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
If the camera works after that, use the latest backup to restore your data on the phone again. If the problem comes back, your backup contained damaged data, causing this problem and you'll have to start allover again, but without the backup data.

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.

How to unlock an iphone 3gs when it's sim locked and the lock button doesn't work???

I bought this iphone 3gs off an app. I just want to use it as an ipod. it is sim locked (with two attempts left) and the lock button doesn't work at all. What can I do? I just want to use it as an ipod.
I have also tried everything. I took the sim card out and put it back in again. And I have also left it out. And I have tried connecting it to itunes but I need to unlock. (some of these were suggested by the seller)
Please help me.

My guess - and this is completely a guess - is that the SIM in that phone has a PIN that was added to it by the previous owner. Whomever you bought it from didn't bother to check for this (or didn't care) before they got it from the previous owner.
You need to get a new AT&T SIM for that phone - you could even borrow one from a friend if they have one that will fit the phone. You would only need the SIM to activate it.
There is no way to activate an iPhone without a SIM in it, even if you don't plan to use it as anything other than an iPod.

My iphone 4s got water in the headphone port. I put my phone in rice for 24 hours and the LED light is on. It stays on even when the phone is off. How can I fix it with out spending 200 bucks at apple to have them fix it?

Short answer is you probably cannot. Once water gets inside the device and it is powered on, the damage likely is permanant.

My macbook air won't turn on and the led light on the cord doesn't light up

I can't get my macbook air to turn on and the cord light won't go on, either. It was not dead last night when I shut it down . . . any ideas?

Hello srsymington,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your MacBook Air will not power on, I'd like you to please reset the SMC as directed below.
Resetting the SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own
Note: Portable computers that have a battery you should not remove on your own include MacBook Pro (Early 2009) and later, all models of MacBook Air, and MacBook (Late 2009).
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.

Iphone 5c does not work rear camera (screen is black) and a flash light since yesterday. Maybe someone knows what happened.

Yesterday stopped working camera application turns on but the screen is black. It does not work too flashlight. It is gray in the control panel. Maybe somebody know what happened if I need to return my phone service warrants.

Hello szpryczek,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot issues with your iPhone camera, please follow the steps below.
Camera
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
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 tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-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. You can also tap to readjust focus while 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.
If the issue persists after the previous steps, please click the link below to contact Apple Support.

I have an iPhone 4 and the flash works great theirs just a little problem. Theirs times that it don't work... Anybody have an idea what it might be ? I resented my iPhone 2 but somehow it only flashes with the LED light from the notifications.

Why does it do this and what can I do to fix it I want to use my light at all times

I read the article thanks. I tried the settings-general-reset-reset network settings-reboot system-go to wifi settings-select wireless connection-select the ">"-symbol-select auto for http proxy. I was optimistic about that because I thought I changed some setting somehow to cause this problem, but it didn't work. More specifically, I did connect successfully and browsed the Internet for a good while, but then I put down the phone for a minute, the phone went into sleep/power save mode, and when I picked it back up a moment later it was no longer connected. Dang. Had to select the connection and use my password yet again.
Another valuable bit of info for you. The only network with which I have this problem is my home. I use all kinds of devices at home and no other devices have this problem. Also, I use this iPhone all over with various wifi networks at hotels and starbucks and family's homes with no issues whatsoever. It remembers and automatically reconnects with every wireless network except the one in my own house.

The indicator light doesn't work anymore

I have a older Apple TV and the indicator light doesn't work anymore. It flashes yellow when it's plugged in then nothing afterwards. It used to be green. It also doesn't want to update from iTunes anymore either

I get the same thing, but I'm concerned about mine since it doesn't sleep always when the lid is closed. It then starts to get really hot if I have it in my backpack when its closed but not sleeping.
Does anyone know what could be wrong? I'm new to Apple Laptops.

WORKAROUND FOUND ! Download and install "Awesome Camera" app and take a picture with that app. After 1-2 seconds of standby, it will work. Then you can go back to default Camera app which would work again.Please let me know

The rear camera isn't working on my iPhone 4s

I can access the camera but the only one that works is my front camera. When I open the camera app all i get is a black screen when i try to use the rear camera.

Mine is doing exactly the same thing. The front facing camera is just as good as it ever was! My phone can tell the rear camera isn't working too. SnapChat does not even give an option to turn the camera around to the rear camera, the flashlight app is lighting up the screen like it can tell the flash wont go on and the phone flashlight has it grayed out so I cant even try to use it.
My phone is past the 1 year warrenty so they wont replace it if this is a hardware issue. Restarting and restoring settings is not working.

Howdy Mitzymom,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue sending texts with photos from the Messages app on your iPhone. If the issue only occurs in when tapping the icon in the Messages app, not when texting pictures from other apps like the photo app, try the general app troubleshooting suggestions below on the Messages app.

Restart the app
Close the app and open it again.
Restart your device

Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?

I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.

Water and electronics do not mix well. Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced. Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days. But even that is no guarantee.
