Since installing iOs 8.3 my camera won't work on iPhone 4S.

It shows all the top buttons like flash, HDR, timer, and all the photo types, like Time-Lapse, Video, Photo etc at the bottom, but the screen is black. There is nothing covering the lens. I have restarted the phone several times, as well as ensuring all other apps have been "swiped shut".
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Thanks for that dilbert41. I tried that, but still no luck.
I did discover that I could access the camera through the Facebook Messenger app, though. So I have a way around the problem, but it's just annoying.

HT2090 I recently upgraded my Macbook Pro (2008) with Snowlepard. The I downloaded Maverick. Ever since I did Maverick, my iSite camera won't work for facetime or skype. What to do?

I purchased my Macbook Pro in 2008. My son recently gave me and iPhone 5 and in order to use it I upgraded my OS to Snowleapord, then I down loaded Maverick. Since I did the Maverick thing my iSite camera does not work on Skype or Facetime. I done a few things like reset SMC and the one other thing to no avail. It works in photobooth and things like that, but it doesn't show up in the utilities list. One point it said something about not being recognized or supported? Is the an upgrade for the camera or do I need to get rid of Maverick? Or what?

   Install the latest software update.

   Reset SMC.     http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
   Choose the method for:
   "Resetting SMC on portables with a battery you should not remove on your own".
   Uninstall Air Parrot if you have it installed.
   If this does not help, contact Apple.

Since installing lion firefox and now chrome won't work.

I used firefox (latest version) for most everything and it worked for 4 days after installing Lion 10.7.2 on my iMac. Then, when I clicked the icon for firefox only the toolbar at the top (file, edit, view, history...) showed up. Nothing opens a browser page. I uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it. Same issue, and now the icon has a circle with diagonal line over it. I gave up on firefox, as I was too busy to deal with it for now, and started using Safari and google chrome.
Now, 2 weeks later, googel chrome is having the exact same issue. Only the toolbar... Oh, and each time I discovered the issue with firefox and now chrome failing, Safari was sluggish and tho I can access everything else I can't make my yahoo mail open (yahoo opens but I can't see my actual mail).
All programs are up to date. My router and modem are working with a strong wifi signal. I can access yahoo mail on my iphone, so it's not that. I shut down my system and rebooted (several times). Reset my router and modems.... Help!
Any ideas? If Safari goes down, I'm stranded.

thx a brody, I apprecate your reply. Tho, that is only part of the issue. I did as you advised & installed a version of Firefox dedicated for intel CPU...now my icon looks perfect. However...I still have the same issue. ONLY the menu bar shows up for both firefox and google chrome (chrome never had the circle/line issue that firefox did).
The main issue is that the 2 browsers, besides Safari, worked for several days to 2 weeks on lion. Now when i click the icon for either, the menu bar is the only thing that shows up. I can select anything in the menu bar - my bookmarks even show in the bookmark menu, but don't go anywhere when selected. No browser page no matter what I do.

Since installing Lion, my usb audio interface won't work.

Its an Icon cube-mini. The software installs, but says no device connected?

Since installing IOS 5 on my iphone4, the music gets mixed up and sometimes it won't even play it !

Since installing IOS 5 on my iphone4, the music gets mixed up and sometimes it won't even play it !
Even after many tries of sync, it won't work like before...
Anyone had the same problem?

Same problem here, but I found a solution that worked for me:
Altered from original solution from Emily P:
Okay, mine now works here is what I did.
plug in the iPhone, iPad etc
in iTunes select the phone or iPad
Under Summary uncheck "Sync with this....."
Under "Music" uncheck the "Sync Music"
Sync
Let it remove all the songs, dont worry it will come back no problems.
Once that is all done all the music on the phone or ipad should be gone.
Now check them both back on, sync, and everything should copy back onto it.
Working now !!!!!

I Pad pages won't scroll smoothly since installing IOS 7?

Since installing IOS 7 pages simply don't scroll smoothly. Pages will freeze consistently and then move several seconds later. Wish I had stayed with IOS 6. Help!, I do have all updates as well.

Something is amiss on your iPad.
Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).
If these don't work use iTunes on your computer to restore your iPad to Factory condition. Test it for performance before restoring any backup.

My video camera will not zoom since installing iOS 7

Since installing iOS 7 on my ipad retina the video will not zoom during recording. In iOS 6 I could zoom the recorded video.
Any answers please.

Me too. Since upgrading to iOS7, Siri gives me "I'm sorry about this..." MOST of the time. Fine on weather; 100%, but if I ask to send someone a message or text, it 'thinks' for a long time and eventually says "I'm really sorry about this". My friend's iPhone 5 works instantly, side by side; completely different yet same version of iOS and all settings same. I've tried everything: hard resets, switching Siri on and off, reset net prefs and all settings, even tried a different sim, everything I can think of, but Siri is still slow, unresponsive and 100% fails on complex tasks. Anyone any more ideas?

I can't get into certain apps since installing iOS 8?

I'm not able to get into some of my apps since installing iOS 8. As soon as I try, I get kicked out again immediately?

Most likely apps need to update to support new OS. I had this problem too on several apps. I checked a few of the apps' websites and those listed issues with ios 8 and indicated updates to the apps were forthcoming. One such app, Cortex Cam, updated today and now it opens and works.
I would advise checking the websites of the apps in question and notifying them that they need to get their act in gear and provide updates to their apps.

Since installing iOS 5.0 my smart playlists are scrambled

Since installing iOS 5.0 on iPhone my itunes playlists are all out of order, for example "top rated" now seems to play in reverse so that my least requested songs play first. Is there any way to correct this either manualy or automaticly?

Yes, after my own experience and a quick Google search this seems to be a common occurance.
I have filed the following bug report at this address: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html
Please feel free to file one too!
Subject: Order of songs/podcasts in playlist on iPhone not the same as iTunes.
Hello,
I make use of different methods of sorting playlists in iTunes (e.g. by rating, by date added, etc).
After upgrading to iOS 5 on an iPhone 4, and on my new iPhone 4S, the order of tracks is not preserved in the Music app.
Two examples:
1. A playlist of podcasts that should be sorted by rating descending, on the iPhone they are sorted by rating ascending.
2. A playlist of music that should be sorted by Album by Artist/Year they are sorted by Date Added.
Operating system: Mac OS 10.7.2"

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?
Contact Apple Support.

Anyone have any solutions?

Addendum
Sending straight from the mail client in any/all of the Yahoo accounts works just fine. The bug just seems to happen when sending links from Safari.
