Photos app/Camera/Screenshot not working

Hello everyone,
so the other day i installed iOS on my 32 Gb iPad 2, and in the middle of the update, it crashed, forcing me to go into recovery mode and restore the ipad from iTunes. Afterwards, had to restore my latest iCloud backup.
Anyway, I really dont know if that couldve messed this; when trying to use the camera, in the bottom left in Camera Roll (inside Camera app) shows the image preview of the recently taken photo, but when clicking on it, it shows no photos.
That was really weird, so i went on and tried to screenshot my iPad with no success; when opening Photos, it said "take a photo to show it here.." (or something among the lines). Video doesnt work either.
I checked my available space and ive got 17.6 GB free, so that shouldnt be the problem. Oh! And also, when going into Settings>General>About says ive got 233 photos?! But i cant seem to see them!!
WHen trying to use other camera apps, it works fine by the way.
Any ideas on getting iOS camera and photos running?
P.S. Got iCloud photo Stream on and Shared photo stream on.

Do you have a backup? If so, try this for Calendar.
Quit the application.
Go to Finder and select your user/home folder. With that Finder window as the front window, either select Finder/View/Show View options or go command - J. When the View options opens, check ’Show Library Folder’. That should make your user library folder visible in your user/home folder. Select Library/Calendars and restore from the backup.

Sd photo import camera kit not working with iOS 8

I bought an Apple brand sd card photo import camera kit for the iPhone 5 (lightning cable) a couple years ago. It no longer works with iOS 8.x. I now have an iPhone 6 Plus and it still does not work. I get the error "This accessory is not supported by this iPhone." Since it is Apple brand it should work.
I have googled and searched the forums and found no leads on this. I was hoping with the latest 8.3 release it would be addressed. Does anyone know how to get this to work or is it an apple bug?

One article that might be helpful is here (suggesting you need HUB if it's drawing too much power):
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4106
@ rotorcraft:
It has to have a DCIM folder, but the directory after the DCIM folder, and the files themselves, have to follow DCF rules (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Designrule_for_Camera_Filesystem)..if it's the structure created by the camera it should be fine but if you change the folder to something other than DSC_xxxx and you change the image filename to something other than ABCD1234.whatever then it won't show up.
You can double check if the kit is being recognized at all in Settings -> About, then scroll to the bottom, it should say like Apple Card reader or something I forget. If it isn't, I would just reboot

Photos app and Calendar not working correctly since upgrade.

I was trying to insert a photo into a Word document. When I go to the finder the photos app is grey. I cannot chose it or find my pics. Why? I tried dragging and dropping. That doesn't work either.
My calendar has been working fine since I upgraded, until today. I powered on today and my calendar is blank. I have TONS of stuff saved on there. I have gone through the preferences and checked all settings, everything looks fine. I even re-entered things just to let it refresh, to no avail. Any suggestions.
I am on a Macbook Pro (early 2013).l
Thank you

Double tap Home button and delete Camera app from multitask-list.
Do a
Reset: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Note: You will not lose any data
If problem persist, make an appointment with genius bar for evaluation.

Green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time.Any suggestions?

Hi Rogerya,
Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the built-in FaceTime camera (also known as iSight) on your MacBook Air. The following resource provides relevant troubleshooting information that you can try:
How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
Built-in iSight cameras
These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
1. See if the issue is application-specific.
Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
2. See if the issue is user-specific.
Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
4. Reset SMC or PMU
Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

My camera is not working when ever i open cam apps its stucks.

After upgrading to iOS7 on IPAD 2 the back camera is not working only get a black screen switing to front camera it works once then freezes

Have you tried to force quit the camera app? Double tap the home button. Scroll sideways if needed until you see the camera preview, then flick that preview up and off the screen. Then either single tap the home button or tap on the home page preview to exit the mode.

My camera is not working. the app doesn't work

Hi dear, My camera is not working. the app doesn't work: I'can't open the app either. It only works using skype, facing me. On the correct side is frozen. tks, bye, Federica

Have you tried force quitting the Camera app? http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
If that fails:
Try doing a hard reset: Press and hold both the Home button and the Sleep/wake button simultaneously for about 15 seconds and release when the Apple logo appears. If that doesn't solve the issue, you could also try backing up the device and restoring the device as new. If that doesn't solve the issue, the device may need service.
Follow the steps in: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4137
NB: set up as a NEW device because a software issue will be in the backup. If the issue persists after restoring as new, you should offer the device for service.
If you're not able to restore the device, this one might help: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1808
Good luck

If this does not work, get it serviced or visit your next Apple Store.

Photo booth and FaceTime camera does not work

I recently installed a new hard drive then loaded OS X and installed my back up after completing all of that I updated to Yosemite now my camera is not working, how do I fix it?

thanks estimates, since I could not solve the problem by any method, I proceeded to the requeritr equipment replacement warranty. Demonstrated to the local technical sales representation of the problem and the actions taken by me to try to fix it, so he agreed to perform the replacement of equipment.
Together upgraded to version 4.3.5 of the iphone to 5.0 and worked well, did not show the problem in this new team. so I think that the problem should arise if you have information preloaded and perform the actaualizacion there, but my appreciation is very vague, I would like to determine the tail in a more logical.
Thanks for your interest and responses expressed.
it seems that Apple does not have a solution for this problem, I qe is solvable by software, I will investigate!

Hi Patoraffo,
I understand that you are having issues with the Camera app functioning, I found the following information that may provide a resolution:
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,
Matt M.

For the Wifi being grayed out in your settings take a look at this article named iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
And if none of that works try resetting the device with this process from iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430.
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Lastly you may need to backup and restore the device with iTunes:

My Apple iPhone 4S camera is not working

Hello friends,
I have brought a iPhone 4S from USA one month to india. All apps are workaing well but camera is not working. Actually problem is that when i take picture without flesh its good photos but after starting flesh of camera there is no photo, i mean very dull or can't recognize the photo seems white. As i know that iPhone's camera is excellent with 8 MP but not good photos as 3 MP of other mobile photos. This is my iphone problme or not good quality of camera. Please give me good suggestion, how can i take good photos without flesh or with flesh. Hope this community will help me to short out that problem.
Thank You
Alok

I am also getting this problem in between though its not consistent. As iPhone 4S handles background applications, when this problem comes,
1) Close the camera,
2) Double click on home button to get the background applications,
3) Hold any of the icons to get them wiggling
4) Then close the camera app by clicking x on the icon.
5) Now try to open the camera, it shall work.
Repeat the same whenever you face this problem.Hope this helps
Thanks.

After uptade to ios5 my camera does not work

after uptade to ios5 my camera does not work

I have the same issue. I upgraded to ios5 then the camera was frozen and no longer works. I took it into an Apple store and they said I had some hardware damage that look to be consistent with moisture getting in through the headphone jack. I accepted that answer and went on my way since my warranty was over 100 days past and I did not feel like paying $100 for a repair with the 4s upgrade avaible with my account soon. I started to look at some other apps that use the camera, the Facebook photo share in the FB app, the amazon bar code scan, camera+ and they all work. There is definitely some kind of software bug with ios5, based on my experience, that freezes the camera. I would suggest taking it into apple to have it looked at or just using a camera app like camera+ to take pictures.
