New photos won't focus, come out blurry

I've had my 3GS for about a year and half. I've always been able to take nice photos of documents (receipts etc.) with it for my records. In the past couple of weeks I've noticed that the camera won't focus well on document text under any lighting or angle. The lens looks clean. Could this be a problem with a recent software update? Or maybe a hardware problem since the phone has some mileage on it? Thoughts?
Thanks!

If resetting did not help, a restore "as new iphone" would be the next step. First, try to restore without using the backup after the restore process. If you can use the camera again after that, try to restore again, this time using the latest backup to get back your app data and settings.
If the camera problem comes back, your backup data contain the error and you'll have to restore again "as new iphone" without the backup, like you did in step one.

Why does exporting to jpeg or png come out blurry in Illustrator CC?

Hello,
I am dying to export a poster ( size 27 x 41 in) from Illustrator CC into a jpeg. The image comes out blurry and text is fuzzy and not legible.
300 dpi, anti-aliasing optimized. Why does this happen?
The pngs won't even save, it takes hours and shuts down?
How can I export this crisp and clear in a format that client can use to print it form Staples or other center?
Kind,
Owl101

Hi There
I am experiencing the same issue. The jpg / png files which are exported from Illustrator CC turns out bad... and I did not want huge files (example 72dpi for web images) Can @Adobe @AdobeCare please provide assistance? I am using the Retina Mac Book Pro laptop.
Appreciate.

Mpg files put into final cut pro 6 come out blurry in Quicktime export.

I'm a noob. I'm trying to make a compilation of mpg files. My students created animations in Blender. I want to put a video together to showcase their talents.
Everything I've tried with FCP 6 and mgs come out blurry.
Mpg Dimensions are 640 x 480. Codecs: MPEG2 Muxed
Should I be working in 720x480?
Thanks

You can't really use MPEG 2 files in Final Cut Pro -it's not an editing codec.
A list of compatible codecs can be found in FCP's Easy Setup menu.
Is MPEG 2 the only export option from Blender? I'm am not familiar with the product.

I have iphone 3G. When I e-mail my photos to computer they come out sideways. Is there a way to correct this?

Where are you emailing the from? The Phone? Are these shots taken with the Phone or got form somewhere else? What happens if you import them directly from the phone?

Published MP4 comes out blurry

Hi,
We have created 7 sections to combine into one 10 minute tutorial. When publishing the shorter sections to MP4 individually the quality is excellent.
The major problem is when we string all seven together in Captivate -- the resolution is bad and comes out blurry.
The slides created from PowerPoint (only 2) are fine but the ones created via Video Demo are the problem when published together. Again, the individual MP4s of the video demos are very clear.
Is this a settings issue or combining PowerPoint & video demos problem?
Most important, how do I fix this ASAP!
Thank you in advance,
Jill

I am not sure as two of us created the videos and the PowerPoint ones were not created byt me.
But the individual videos were already converted into MP4 and we simply dropped all 7 MP4 sections onto slides in Captivate. So I was assuming that the resolution for each MP4 would have been preserved when combining them as each MP4 was perfect.
What do you suggest? Adjusting the resolution in the .cptx files or a setting adjustment for the MP4?

Single photos printed in iPhoto come out all wrong

I'm trying to print photos from iPhoto. The problem is they come out the wrong size or with the incorrect alignment (or both). I'm printing on an Epson using 4x6 photo paper. After I've believed to set up the size and print quality in the Print dialogue box, the prints come out off-center and aligned incorrectly; sometimes they come out in thumb-nail size. What is really confusing is that it seems you can set up the photo in two different ways: one in Page Setup, and one through the Print dialogue box; doing one or both changes everything, and it's always wrong. Can someone give me step-by-step help? Thanks.

I'm afraid that I can give no solution, but am equally keen to discover and correct the issue. I have a similar problem printing from iPhoto to my HP Deskjet F380, no orientation issues (as yet) though. The print setup all seems fine and shows me what I want to print but as soon as I go to print, preview or pdf I get given something completely different and something that does not correspond to any of the other print settings. I have eliminated the printer driver as an issue - this has been re-installed and besides there are no issues with printing from any other software.

New Photos Won't import from iPhone into iPhoto

i have photos i can see on my iPhone 4
but when I plug into USB on my MacBook Pro it
is not importing
please help

I am experiencing exactly the same problem, my iPhoto used to detect my iPhone and proceed to the automatic transfer of new photos, and now it doesn't anymore.
I've done quite a bit of research on this issue, but I can't seem to have any luck in fixing it...
Here's some fixes that I found on other sites that you could try:
1. Reset the iPhone and your Mac.
2. Check (from memory) if you have any pictures in your camera roll that weren't taken with your iPhone camera (this includes screenshots, photos downloaded from the web, email, etc.), this may be the cause of the problem and it's what makes iPhoto not recognize the phone as a camera anymore.
As for my problem, I've tried everything: resetting the phone, resetting my MacBook Pro, first deleting all photos that might be causing the problem, now I've deleted ALL my photos, and my Mac still won't detect my iPhone as a camera.
iTunes can see it just fine, and I can sync with it perfectly, but I can't sync it with iPhoto for the life of me...
If anyone could help, that would be perfect...

When will the new ipod touch 6th gen come out?

When is the ipod touch 6th gen. suppose to come out?

Apple has not announced any new iPod models, and until they do none of us here, who are all fellow users, will have any idea. In the past, any new models of the iPod touch were announced in the fall, but whether Apple will continue this pattern or indeed if they have plans for any future new iPod touch models at all is unknown. We'll just have to wait and see.

When is the new docking station going to come out for the new iPod touch with the lightning connection?

I have just got the new iPod Touch for christmas. I am now wondering when a docking station will come out for the new iPod Touch with the new lightning connection. I have not been able to find a docking station that fits the iPod Touch without having to buy the adapter(the adapter does not allow the iPod to be charged)
When will a docking station come out for the new iPod Touch?
Olivia Davey

You would have to ask the makers of the docking stations that question. Belkin has a dock now that uses Apple's Lightning cable:
http://www.belkin.com/us/F8J057-Belkin/p/P-F8J057
so all it basically does is provide a stand and pass through the headphone jack. There's at least one other dock here:
http://www.thelightningdock.com/products/iphone-5-dock
If you're referring to Apple's Universal Dock, there have been no indications that they will make any new dock, though of course none of us here know their plans for future products.

Applecare Senior Advisor Txx Bxxx (I have his contact info in an email he just sent) just confirmed with me that the problem people are having with the App Store not loading is an apple issue with there servers, ITS NOT YOUR IPAD so don't go restoring it! It's not happening to everyone however but they are looking into it, its really hit or miss.

Try this first - 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.
This works for some users. Not sure why.
Go to Settings>General>Date and Time> Set Automatically>Off. Set the date ahead by about a year.Then see if you can connect to the store.

My photos are pixelated when I put them into another new document such as a photo collage. I am trying to put a regular 8x11 image into a 4x6 photo collage of two other images. All come out blurry.

I need help! I am trying to put several photos that are large size 8x11 into a small 4x6 new document photo collage. When I do my images are blurred or pixelated. Even my fonts in the new document are pixelated and my photshop brushes as well. I am a novice so I may be doing something wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I have the dinosaur PSE2 but the method should be the same in 11.
Image > Resize > Image Size (the path to Image Size might be different in 11). This brings up the window:
The DPI is in the Resolution box. Enter the new value. Check the Constrain Proportions and Resample Image boxes and click OK.

My iPad New camera won't focus when taking a picture or video!!

Today I bought the iPad New. Camera started acting up at once!! Everytime I try to take a picture the camera will not focus making all of my pictures blurry. What can I do to fix this? Anyone else experience this issue? Camera on the front of the iphone works and focuses just fine, however the back camera will only take a clear picture if you're like 6 inches or less away from the target. The tap to focus feature doesn't do anything for it.
Is that hardware problem or not?

Satler-
I had not seen that. It appears several people reported trouble, but no solutions.
Yes, I am sure that being out of focus beyond six inches is a defect.
There is another problem that you may encounter which is due to noise appearing as grain when there is not enough light for a useable picture. The "cure" would be to turn on more lights. The same thing might be true for focusing, which also requires enough light to function. See if it works better outdoors with daylight illumination.
Other unusual problems that have been reported for the iPad 3, have responded to a reset (reboot) of the iPad. Hold both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears. Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow. The iPad will restart after a couple of minutes. Resetting this way will not hurt anything, and sometimes clears up mysterious problems.

IPad footage has come out blurry and with green

I have all this footage stored on my computer (to edit later), shot with a fairly new iPad mini. Since iMovie updated, it's all showing up blurry, corrupted and green like this. I long since deleted the original footage from my iPad to make space to record more, and need to have these videos ready in a week.
Is there any recovering this footage? Why is it all ruined?

Try taking pictures in manual mode with iso setting 100 or 200 (400 or 800 in low light) and check the image quality.
The camera hardware is pretty good, the problem comes with the superior auto mode which tend to use a very high iso value !!!
A high iso value increases the sensor sensitivity which captures more light but also high amount of noise. Hence when the image processor try to remove the noise it create lots of artifact in the image.
However, since at high iso value the sensor is more sensitive to light, the shutter speed is inreased which avoid blurry images. Thats why, when taking pictures with low iso value, you should try to stay still as far as possible.
I usually use iso 200 which give a good balance: low noise and avoid blur. If the image is too dark in the preview just increase the iso.

Any news about the new droid phones that will come out for next year?

so after my post about the EOL of phones for 2011, i was wondering if there were any phones that were coming out that would be as good as the Droid X. i liked the X bc it was big enough for me (im 6'2 and pretty big) and i liked how the OS was set up for customization of widgets and stuff.

Yeah, Here is one phone you might like that's coming out in February.

How do I save a photo after I have zoomed in on it? I want to save the zoom-in as a new photo and can't work out why this doesn't work the same way saving a cropped image, or adjusted image does. Thank you.

How do I save an image after I have zoomed in on it? I can't work out why I can't save a zoom-in the same way
I can save a cropped image or an adjusted image. Thanks, Lily A.

Hi Matt, thanks for your reply. Have realised that Zoom in Iphoto is just a viewing tool and not an editing tool.
Was creating beautiful abstractions by zooming in and wanted to create a new image of the result. Have since discovered that cropping after zooming takes me a little way to where I want to go but it isn't the same effect. Will perhaps have to try to create it when actually shooting. Am doing a photoshop course in February and maybe will learn a bit more then, too. Am pretty much an amateur just finding my way.
Thanks again,
Best, Lily
