The rear camera and lead flash of my iphone5 isnt working..

the rear camera of iphone5 isn't working but i can still use the front camera..is there any way to fix this?

Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, explained here:
How to back up your data and set up as a new device
If it works after that, restore from the backup.
If this does not bring your camera back, you'll have to get it serviced:

I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.

Hi, I was just wondering how much it would cost to repair the rear camera of my iPhone 4s. I dropped it and it won't work and I hear something rattling inside when I shake it. How much would it cost to fix?

If you have a tool, try removing the battery cover and chech out. Some times the camera pin may have been misplaced. If so, you can fix it yourself.

First try one of these methodes:
Try to restart your iPhone
Hold the power button and slide to turn off, then turn it on
if you still have the same problem then try the second methode:
Reset Settings of your device:
Settings>> General>> Reset >> Reset All Settings
Make sure you reset only your settings and NOT any other Contents
if you still have the same problem, so it seems to be a hardware issue, take it to the nearest Apple Store.
Kind regards

My camera will not flip from the rear camera to the front. It is the iPhone 5 and I got the ios7. Is there anything I can do

My camera will not flip from the rear camera to the front. It is the iPhone 5 and I got the ios7. Is there anything I can do?

Thank you fablepd,
I tried downloading “Awesome camera”. Seems like a nice App. The front/back switch does not work within that App.
Switching to back camera in the normal Camera App brings up a blurred picture of what the back camera is seeing and freezes the app. Force quitting Camera App does not bring it back to live until after a long time. Problem still persists.

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.

The rear camera isn't working on my iPhone 4s

I can access the camera but the only one that works is my front camera. When I open the camera app all i get is a black screen when i try to use the rear camera.

Mine is doing exactly the same thing. The front facing camera is just as good as it ever was! My phone can tell the rear camera isn't working too. SnapChat does not even give an option to turn the camera around to the rear camera, the flashlight app is lighting up the screen like it can tell the flash wont go on and the phone flashlight has it grayed out so I cant even try to use it.
My phone is past the 1 year warrenty so they wont replace it if this is a hardware issue. Restarting and restoring settings is not working.

Is it possible to fix or replace the rear cam of my iTouch?

The rear camera of my iPod Touch 4th Gen cracked and now it's all blurry when I use the camera app. It's basically useless now. Does apple repair repair this kind of damage? If yes, how much will it cost me? I'm from the Philippines BTW. Thanks for your replies.

Essentially what you are looking for is that 13.0.5 and 13.0.9 are side by side compatible. Unfortunately, they are not. The same goes for CR 2011 (v. 14.0) and CR 2013 (v. 14.1)..
My main question would be; why is replacing the SP 5 runtime with SP 9 runtime an issue?

Anyone having trouble with the recording function on the rear camera on iPad ios7?

The rear camera shows while I'm recording video but I'm just getting sound when I play it back.

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).

Dark spot on screen when using rear camera and phone shutting down randomly at 20% power

I probably already know the answer to my question but my nearest apple store is 2hrs drive away so just want to know has anyone experienced the same issues and if so what was their resolution?
I noticed last week when i went to use the camera that the phone randomly shut off even though I had near 20% batter power, it then would not switch on again without me plugging it in to charge. I am always careful with charging and discharging the battery, ive done resets and a restore but the issue is still there snd today i noticed the dark spot on the screen and subsequently on the photo when using the rear camera - its definitely not there when using the front facing camera.
If i go to the apple store will they swap it out (still plenty of warranty)? I cant do it by post as I need my phone at all times and dont have a cc to do the express service return!!!
Thanks in advance

I've had this same problem. I called apple about it and they said that it seems to be a current problem with a lot of peoples phone. The only question that I have, if anyone can answer, is that Apple is supposed to send me a new phone to replace mine but I am wondering if it will be the 3G or the old model, which is what I already have. If anyone knows then let me know, but Chennie, just call apple and they will help you out.

Is there a way to disable the Facetime camera and use an external USB webcam for browser based webchat?

Is it possible to disable the Facetime camera and use an external webcam as a default? So that when you access browser based applications that require a webcam it doesnt default to the Facetime camera but uses the USB webcam instead?
Cheers.

(1) You don't need to "disable" anything to select among cameras connected to your Mac.
For all cameras you access via browser based applications (cameras connect via Flash browser plugins), control-click on an open video window in your browser page and adjust the camera settings to select between a connected USB and Firewire video camera. Specific instructions are here:
http://www.macromedia.com/support/documentation/en/flashplayer/help/help04.html
If you don't see a choices of cameras in the Flash settings, your Mac is only recognizing one camera. Verify that your external cam is Mac-compatible and properly connected.
Your choice is stored in preferences so the same camera will activate on the next browser page until you change it.
(2) BTW, a current (Feb 2013) discussion of how to select among connected Mac cameras for a few more apps is available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message/21158673#21158673

The rear camera of my iPhone is blurry

I recently dropped my Iphone 4 in water but I put it in rice and left it in sunlight over night and everything works great except for the rear camera. Everytime I try to take a picture it turns up super blurry and can not focus. The only way a picture will show up sharp is if I'm taking the picture up close. How would I fix this?

Yo can't fix it; your phone is water damaged. If you have AppleCare+ you can get it replaced for $49. Without AppleCare+ it will cost $229.
