When I touch camera the screen is blank

When I touch the camera icon the screen is blank.  I thought this is the icon you use to take pictures.

Try a Reset [Hold the Home button (bottom centre) and Sleep/Wake button (top edge, right) down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. The screen will go blank and then power ON again in the normal way.] It is app and data safe!

  • My iPad mini shows 10 updates in the App Store-on the updates icon, but when I click it-the screen is blank. Help!!

    My iPad mini shows 10 updates in the App Store-on the updates icon, but when I click it-the screen is blank. Help!!

    It's a long running glitch, as the hundreds of threads on this topic demonstrate.
    You  can wait it out and wait for Apple to fix the servers or you can go  into your purchased tab and manually download each update (you'll find  the app icons with little update banners on them.
    Alternatively,  if you sync with a computer, you can use the iTunes on your computer to  download the updates then sync them onto your device.

    Please read this whole message before doing anything.
    This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
    The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of certain system caches. 
    Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and  Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

  • My MacBook Pro froze and started a soft slow beeping.  When I restarted it the screen is blank.

    When I went to wake my MacBook Pro, it was frozen and there was a soft, slow beeping.  I restarted it, but it goes to a blank screen.  Help, please.

    If you get either Beeping of Flashing at Starup, that indicates there is not enough good RAM to start up. Some of your RAM may be dislodged, but more likely it has failed.

  • HT204266 App Store on ipad indicates that apps updates are available, but when I select updates the screen stays blank. Is there a fix for this bug or am I stuck reloading iOS again?

    I just had my iPad 3  replaced. It is running iOS 6.1.3 and I am not able to update my apps.

    I think there's a problem with the update server.
    There are many similar cases on this discussion.

  • HT1459 4th Generation iPod: camera stopped working; I touch the icon, the screen goes blank navy blue. What do I do?

    4th Generation iPod: camera stopped working; I touch the icon, the screen goes blank navy blue. What do I do?

    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

  • After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album.  But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank.  How do I fix this?

    After taking a pix with my iPhone, it shows up in my Album.  But when I select it to look at it or forward it, it disappears and the screen is blank.  This doesn't happen with all of my pictures.  I have the camera set on photo, with HDR off.  How do I keep this from happening?

    Not sure if this helps you, but I had the same issue. I inadvertently must have chosen a filter instead of none. Once I went and fixed this, my pictures were in my roll and I could see them. Hope this helps. I think you should be able to pick a filter and take a picture, but it worked for my phone.

    While using IBOOKS I touched something on the screen and the screen went blank and I can't get back to normal IBOOKS screen.  How do?

    Try to reset your device:
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.

    Hello linaka21,
    Thank you for providing so much detail about the issue you are experiencing with the iTunes Store.
    The first thing I recommend is quitting and relaunching the applications on your iPhone:
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    You can find the full article here:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    If you are still seeing the same issue after quitting and relaunching the iTunes Store, I recommend restarting your phone and then resetting if it's still not working:
    Restarting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red "slide to power off" slider appears, and then slide the slider.
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Note: Reset your device only if you are unable to restart it.
    Resetting your device
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
