TS1315 My camera is not opening to take a picture

My camera is not opening,and unable to take apic

If you are talking about "tethered" shooting, taking a picture will connected to the computer, iPhoto does not support that. Your camera may have come with software to do that (Canons do). Otherwise, you  will need Aperture which does support tethered shooting.

    camera shutter wont open to take a pic....???

    The most popular thread on this has nearly 25,000 views. Below is the follow-up post I put on that thread and all these related threads.
    If it was just a hardware problem, Apple should fix it for all of us. But I can't quite understand how it's a hardware problem when the problem is not common to all my camera apps; the Apple camera app does not work at all now, but I can take regular pics with other camera apps I have.
    But still, trying to switch to FaceTime/self-portrait mode results in total failure and the need to restart....if it was just a hardware issue I'd expect it to not work for all apps.

    My Feedback was:
    QUOTE: "Dear Apple, many, many problems are being reported about camera malfunctions. One thread in Discussions ishttps://discussions.apple.com/thread/2595775?start=30&tstart=0 that has over 60 complaints and there are several other threads about this, so something is obviously wrong.
    Thanks for your attention to this. Apple is a fine company and hope it continues that way. The camera is a key feature of these products: the iPod Touch and iPhone. Not having the camera work properly is ridiculous. Some software fix needs to become available.
    Sincerely... END QUOTE

    My iPhone camera will not open up. When I press on the icon it open and closes quickly. When I open it from my home screen it reboots my phone. What should I do?

    Tried that and it still isn't working. Not sure if it's software thing but I just noticed when I swipe up my control center the flashlight option is not available as well. I'm not sure why this is. I have a 5s with the newest software. That's for the suggestion

    Hi there Brittney827,
    You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

    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.
    Issue not resolved
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • Camera is not opening in my 3GS

    Hello,
    I have a problem with my iPhone 3GS
    The camera is not opening, I have already restored but it is the same...
    I don't know what to do...
    please help

    On another point, you need to update your ACR (Adobe Camera Raw) plug-in to ACR 8.7.1 CS6 version ASAP.  You have the original release that shipped with CS8, namely ACR 7.0 which DOES NOT support your camera model.
    The Canon 5D Mark III was supported by the first time in ACR 7.1.  The current version for Photoshop CS6 is ACR 8.7.1.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Also is there anyway I can actually talk to a customer support technician via Adobe?
    Not in this forum.
    Unfortunately, only Adobe customer service can assist you with your issue. These are user forums; you are not addressing Adobe here.
    Click on the link below, and after that click on "Still need Help? Contact us."
    Then on the next page, click Chat.

    Brace yourself for a lengthy, probably not so fruitful experience with the Adobe support staff in India.

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then 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). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

  • Having trouble with iPhone 5 camera shutter not opening

    See:
    Camera Raw plug-in | Supported cameras
    You need the 8.2 version of the ACR module, and PS10 is too old to be updated.
    So, you can choose between 3 solutions:
    - update PSE to PSE12
    - use the Canon software to convert the raw files to the tiff format which PSE10 can handle
    - download and install the free Adobe DNGconverter which is able to convert a whole folder of CR2 raw files to the Adobe DNG raw format which PSE10 can handle.
    The last two solutions are free.

  • My front camera is Not open and the front speaker too

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

  • Camera shutter not opening on iPhone 4s

    I've had my iPhone 4s for about two months. It had been working perfectly.
    After a recent drop that required the front glass to be replaced, my cameras are no longer working properly. The shutter for the rear camera will not open at all. The front camera will only work through a third party app called "AutoShutter" that was recommended to me. The phone is still working perfectly, otherwise.
    Is this reversable? Can I get my 4s cameras working again? I've tried the following:
    1) Soft reset with home/power buttons
    2) Downloading other software apps to run the camera
    3) Deleting all photos in my phone
    4) Full reset of the phone to factory settings
    Your recommendations are much appreciated. I'm waiting with baited breath in hopes that this is not permanent! I did not get the warranty or insurance. Thanks!

    i have the same problem, took it to apple store they said is a hardware problem, how could be possible if it WAS WORKING PERFECT BEFORE, very frustrated with them.. i've tried EVERYTHING in the world.. restarted factory settings recovery mode etc etc etc. nothing worked for me. and i forgot.. the phone never turns off just reboot and the sound goes off and comes on whenever it wants....
