recently recieved a second hand Iphone 4. I was testing the Camera, the rear one worked perfectly fine, however when i pressed the switch button the front facing camera shutter freezed and started flickering. In order to get it back to the rear camera I have to reset my settings. Does anyone know why the front facing camera is doing this and how i can fix it.
iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

I would ask the person you received it from if they've had this issue.
You can completely close out of the camera, then do a reset, hold down the home/power button together until yo usee the apple logo and then release, then wait for you phone to boot back up.

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • Just recieved a second hand iphone 4s but its connected to its old user. its all above board but have no way of finding its original owner

    i recieved it from my friend whos a door steward at the coast and sometimes when phones are lost they can take them if nobody went to get them back within a couple months. nobody has came for this one and i got it from him with the belief i can use it. if anyone can help me out with sorting this out it would be great.
    p.s. i know it sounds shifty but its owner did have 2-3 months to pick it up.

    Sounds like it had one of the iOS 7 betas installed. If this is the case,
    there are 3 possible actions you can take:
    1] If you are a developer, go to the Developers Forum for assistance
    as per the NDA that goes with being a developer.
    If you are not a developer, you can
    2] either wait until iOS 7 is officially released and then install it, or
    3] seek help elsewhere for the stolen software on that iPhone.
    If you can get that far, what does it say when you look at Settings=>
    General=>About=>Version.

  • Bought second hand iPhone 4 they cannot remember the iCloud password how do I get around this

    Bought a second hand iphone4 have contacted seller they cannot remember iCloud password how do I get around this?

    They need to reset their Apple ID password by going to http://iforgot.apple.com and then turn off Find My iPhone.
    At that point you can restore the device as new.
    If they cannot or will not do that, demand a refund.
    If they will not provide a refund, contact law enforcement as the device is most likely stolen.

  • I would like to buy a second hand iphone, I have a question

    Hi all,
    I am thinking about buying second hand iPhone 6, but what if the buyer will report to Apple that the phone has been stolen after selling it? How can I avoid this situation?
    Thanks

    There's no mechanism in place for anyone to report stolen phones to Apple thus they don't get involved. That job is for the police dept. Knowing what the seller needs to do before selling the phone might help you before purchasing it.

  • HT201441 Why is my iPhone asking for activation if it was working perfectly fine?

    My phone was working perfectly fine but when I turned it on it said activation required, it asked for my Apple  ID AND I typed it in and it said "could not activate iPhone"! Why did this randomly happen?

    Did you recently update the iOS version or restore from backup?
    What is the exact complete text of the error message you are receiving?

    If you can't get the discs, call Apple with the serial # and ask for them. They should send them to you for a reasonable charge.

    If you are receiving a messages that says the maximum number of free iCloud accounts has already been created I'm afraid you won't be able to create a new account on your phone. 
    Each device can only create a certain number of iCloud accounts.  Once they have been created you cannot create a new one.  You also can't delete one of the accounts to allow you to create a new one.  All you can do is either re-use one of the accounts previously created or create a new account to use on another iOS device (running iOS 5 or higher) or Mac (running OS X Lion or higher), if you have one.
