Shutter won't open in camera what will happen on complete restore

If I rest my iPad 2 as a new one to get my camera shutter to reopen will i lose all my data pics ecetra and will I need to re download my iOS from a PC in iTunes or will the pad take care of itself

Before you restore your iPad have you tried closing the camera app and rebooting the iPad?
From your home screen, double tap the home button and the recents tray will appear with all of your recent apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button or anywhere above the task bar.
Reboot 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 if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.
Yes you will lose everything unless you backup your iPad and sync with iTunes first. You can restore from the backup and then resync your content after you set up as new again. When you restore the iPad, iTunes reinstalls the iOS for you.

  • What will happen if I restore my iPhone if it hasnt let me back it up?

    I tried to back-up my iPhone 3gs but a message came up saying it needed to be updated first. I updated it and now there is a message on the phone screen saying that i need to connect to itunes, however when i try this, its telling me I need to restore my iPhone first. What will happen if I restore it with no way of knowing whether its backed up or not.
    Thank you
    Panicking!!!!!

    Download iTunes into your computer/laptop.  Upon iTunes completion, connect your iPhone 3Gs to your computer via USB port.  Wait for a minute or 2.  iTunes would automatically backup your iPhone without you doing anything. Make sure you're connected to WIFI.
    Good luck

  • What will happen when I restore my iPod?

    I have a few songs that I downloaded from the iTunes store, and cannot get them off my iPod Touch. See this thread for full discription of the problem.
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16745511#16745511
    Anyway long story short, what exactly happens when I restore it. Do I lose my photos, emails, contacts. Will all of the songs be deleted so I could re-sync them from my computer, the way I want them?
    Can I also re-sync all my other stuff back to the iPod? This part is important to me.
    Or would it be faster to go to an Apple store and have them delete the songs, @ 100km from my house.

  • What will happen if i restore my iphone

    t will happen if i restore my iphone? i heard that i will not see my past datas anymore like notes,pictures and apps. i didn't back up my iphone and i dont want to lose my datas

    Backup your phone before restoring and then you can't possibly lose any data.
    You should also be syncing your phone with iTunes, iCloud or some other service, so that data should be safe and re-appear on the phone when you set it up again with the same sync service.

  • What will happen when i restore iphone 5 to a new one

    i wanna know if it deleted or forget my number if i restore it or will it be the same (i have no sim card)

    Yes. Note that if you restore it as New you lose everything that is on it. If you restore it from a current backup you will lose only what is not stored in the device's backup:
    Music
    Books
    Videos
    Photos
    These are either stored in the iTunes Library on your hard drive. Photos are usually kept in iPhoto unless you store them elsewhere.

    Hello Kunmon,
    The following article provides some useful troubleshooting that can help get your iPhone's camera working correctly.
    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.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • IPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

    The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open!  I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open.  Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.
    My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open.  I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.
    I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.
    bummer!

  • IPhone 4 camera shutter won't open when on WIFI

    SInce upgrading to iOS 5.0.1 on my iPhone 4 the camera app's shutter won't open when on wifi.  Works fine when on 3g.
    I reset the phone, restored the os, turned on an off location services, etc etc and nothing works.
    Anyone else have this issue or have a solution for this?

    Camera shutter PROBLEM SOLVED on my iPhone 4.   It looks the shutter locking is due to moisture.   I dried the phone using the cold very dry air from an air conditioner outlet for one hour.   The shutter began opening lickety split, better than ever before.(refrigerator or freezer wll not work!!!! - will not dry the phone internals) .   
    A guy on Youtube suggested drying out an iPhone 3 in the sun to solve Wifi operation problem and I decided to try on my iPhone 4.  The trick worked, camera shutter opens in about 1/2 second rather than 4 or 5 seconds or never.   To remove moisture from the phone, I suggest the A/C trick as more effective and safer than sun or hair drier.   Other possibility could be the 2 day jar of rice treatment.    RS in Kuala Lumpur

  • After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open

    After the 6.1 update on iphone 5 the camera virtual shutter won't open so I cannot use the camera at all.
    I have tried most things suggested in the web like hard/soft shut down, reopen app, restore from backup. Any other suggestions? It should be a software problem right?

    The problem is more than likely being cause by corruption that occured during the iOS install or in the backup that was used to restore the phone after the update.
    Standard troubleshooting is:
    Re-boot the phone
    Restore the phone from your backup
    Restore the phone as a new device.
    One of the 3 should fix the problem.

  • My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

    My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera. I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

    When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

    I use picasa for my photos..currently there is a question mark imposed over the icon on the dock and it won't open...what does this mean?
    Thanks for any help.

    The icon in the dock is a shortcut to the app itself.....for some reason the icon has lost contact with the app.......go to your Applications folder and drag Picasa back to the dock....a new alias (shortcut) will be created.....
