Why can't I take a picture while recording video on iPhone 4S with iOS 6.0

I have an iPhone 4S running iOS 6.0 and I've read the user guide, but cannot seem to get it to take a picture while recording video.

1. Open the camera app.
2. Move the slider from in the bottom right from photo to video.
3. Begin recording your video.
4. While your video is recording, tap the camera icon in the upper right to take a photo.
5. You'll see the shutter close on your screen each time you snap a photo.
6. Your photos will be saved to your camera roll.
Edit:
Just noticed you have a 4S...iPhone 5 only, sorry.

    Hi manu1982,

    It sounds like your iPhone has a no sound from the speaker issue. The article linked below provides a lot of great troubleshooting tips that may be able to resolve the issue.

  • How can I turn off my screen while recording video?

    Hey...I would like to know how can I keep an ongoing video recording while turning off my computer's display?

    Energy Saver, you can keep the computer awake while the screen saver shuts the monitor off but I'm not sure that would do it for you.

  • ITunes 10.2.1 Freezes while syncing music to iPhone 4 with iOS 4.3.1

    I hooked up my iPhone 4 the other night to my computer to update it to the new iOS version 4.3.1. The entire time my iTunes would continually freeze and I would have to force quit it. Once I finally got it to stabilize I began to install the update with seemingly no problem. Then out of no where my phone slipped into recovery mode and it told me to restore it so that it could sync with iTunes. When I tried to restore it I received an error code 9 and iTunes informed me that a restore could not be completed. I ended up having to take it to a friend's house and restore on his iTunes without a hitch. I then came home and restored a back up with no trouble at all and had 4.3.1 on my phone. All was well until I realized no music synced.
    Now when I try to sync music, I press the sync button and all goes well to begin with. The back up proceeds as normal. It transfers an app purchase that needs to be made and then the problem starts when it hits the music step. It begins syncing a song and then instantly iTunes freezes. The spinning arrows next to the device name stop and no progress is made whatsoever. I lose any kind of control over iTunes. In order to get it back I have to force quit it and restart it or manually disconnect my iPhone from the computer which is as we all know not healthy for it. Cancelling the sync from the phone does nothing at first but then after 15 minutes or so iTunes frees up again but never actually finishes the sync. It's stuck finishing it indefinitely. (In the time it took me to type all of this out and check it for errors it is still finishing indefinitely)
    I have tried:
    1) Restarting Computer
    2) Updating iTunes to the newest version
    3) Completely uninstalling and reinstalling all components of iTunes and Quicktime according to instructions from an article on Apple's support pages.
    4) Restoring the phone to a back up again to fix any possible corruption
    5) Checking only one song and trying to sync it to see if it was an quantity issue
    6) Manually syncing music
    7) Configuring Security Software
    8) Disabling security software
    and probably others. Nothing seems to be working. I am unsure if it is an issue with the phone or with the computer and iTunes. I have not tried a complete just all out restore with no back up because I am hesitant to lose all my contacts, SMS messages, and pictures with their saved locations and from what I have read that will get me no where unless I want a completely wiped phone that can't sync music.
    I'm out of ideas here so any support from you guys would be much appreciated. I have seen that others are experiencing similar issues so it may be a problem with the combination of iTunes 10.2.1 and iOS 4.3.1. If nothing works I guess it's a $30 phone call to Apple Support. Then again I don't know if that would fix anything either. Hopefully somebody somehwere has an answer.
    Thanks in advance,

    After updating iTunes to 10.2.2 it wiped out my iPhone, iPad and iPad2 and it will not restore on another pc in the house.  I spent 6 hours restoring the iPhone but the iPad and iPad2 has taken 6 hours going thru every step in the support recommendations as well as 3  hours on the phone with 2 separate techs today.
    I uninstalled and reinstalled, went thru with the tech and edited the registry as well as the msconfig.  Rebooted the PC's, reinstalled, uninstalled all of the anti virus software and did a limited start-up, all to no avail.
    You cannot reinstall the last working version of iTunes because the library is synced with a later version - so I have 2 dead devices.
    Other friends are experiencing the same problem and I know of 2 dozen others experiencing the same issues.
    Apple needs to fix the latest update of iTunes!

  • Is there a way to monitor audio while recording video on iphone?

    I use an external microphone with a y-splitter for plugging in the mic but I can't get any sound out of the headphone side. Don't know if it's the adapter or if the phone just doesn't do that.

    There are some special microphones made for iPhone use that provide headphone output, such as the iRig

  • HT3577 How can I turn off the text editing feature on an iPhone 4 with iOS 6.x - when my Mom taps the phone, it always brings up copy.  It does not do this for me so I am assuming it is the way her disability forces her fingers to hit the screen.

    My Mom has tremors and when she uses her iPhone and taps to select, the way she hits the keyboard causes the copy selection to appear.  It is not an issue with her phone because it does not do this for me.  I would like to shut off the double tap feature.  I have already tried Settings/General/Accessibility/Home speed typing = slowest.

    The editing menu doesn't come up when you double tap. It comes up when you press and hold. It can't be turned off.

  • Why is the forwarding arrow missing from my iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.2

    Why is the forwarding arrow missing for text messages from my iPhone 6 with IOS 8.1.2

    The speak needs to be enabled through settings
    Though - wondering why you are seeing things differently - any chance you can post a picture of what you are seeing
    The next step would be
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If that does not work - then we may be looking at a restore

    The manual does not show that feature natively for the iPod. Later iPhones and iPads have that feature natively.

  • HT201077 Why can't I see my pictures in photostream on my iPad I took on my iPhone

    Why can't I see my pictures in photostream on my iPad I took on my iPhone

    It may be because photo stream only keeps photos for 30 days, even though thry remain on your device until you delete them.  If you enabled photo stream on your iPad after you enabled it on your iPhone, you would only receive the photos from the last 30 days, as ealier photos are no longer there.
    If that's not the issue, try saving the photo stream photos on your iPhone to your camera roll (tap Edit, tap all the photos, tap Share, tap Save to Camera Roll), then go to Settings>iCloud and turn photo stream Off, wait a minute or so, then turn it back On.  Then take a new photo on your phone, close the camera app, then while connected to wifi see if it appears on your iPad in a minute or so.

  • Why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows with iTunes 10.5.1?

    why can i see only one picture in the illustration windows since iTunes 10.5.1?

    Assuming Apple doesn't eviscerate the files of the secondary graphics with another upgrade, there could be a plug in that reads the graphic and runs along side iTunes..we should get someone or Apple to program an alternative If we have to accept this downgrade in iTunes proper.
    I've developed a quick workaround, and am still hoping Apple will fix this!
    Go To Get Info on the tune you want to see secondary artwork for.
    Go To the Artwork tab
    Drag the back cover to the desktop, and it will create a new jpg you can open with quick viw or prieview where you can see it large!
    you end up with a lot of jpgs on the desktop to discard!

  • Why can I not put a picture from camera roll into an album?

    Why can I not put a picture from my camera roll into an album now? When I try these are greyed out. I created these albums on my ipad too but ever since I updated to IOS 7 this can't be done, it was so easy before.

    I can now answer my own question as I've worked it out. For those who are interested click on Shared Streams then on album you require photo to be in then click on the empty box with a cross in the centre and choose photo you wish to add.
