Why did my camera all of a sudden start taking blury photos

Without any changes to my phone my photos just all of a sudden started to be blury.  I tried to reset my phone, clean off the lens and update the software and no luck.  I also tried fiddling with the setting in the camera and still nothing.  What can I do?

Try a reset:
Hold the Sleep and Home button down for about 10 second until you see the Apple logo.

  • Why did my account all of the sudden change to free instead of premium?

    My spotify stopped working all of the sudden. I was a premium member and yesterday, the app kicked me out of my music and said that I had the free account so now I can only listen to shuffle. I'm quite confused about this especially since I've been paying for spotify all this time. I uninstalled the app and tried to reinstall it, but now that won't even work. Please help?!

    Go to support here https://support.spotify.com/us/contact-spotify-support/ , it's faster there and it's real support! Hope this helps :)

  • My Favorites, imported from Explorer, used to appear in the Menu bar as "Favorites," now I have to menu down thru bookmarks to find them. Why did this change all of a sudden?

    The last few weeks, my firefox has been acting up. Sometimes when I load it, my RoboCom Icon does not appear, sometimes it does. Now, I lost "Favorites" in my menu bar.

    Check that you still have the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" placed on the Bookmarks Toolbar.
    Make sure that all the toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
    * Check in "View > Toolbars > Customize" that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the Customize window onto the Bookmarks Toolbar
    * If you do not see the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" or other items that are missing in the toolbar palette or on a toolbar then click the "Restore Default Set" button

  • Why did Time Machine all of a sudden do a full backup, earsing months of backups to make room on my 1T drive?

    The question says it all. I had backups going back for about a year. Then today, seemingly for no reason, Time Machine deiced that it needed to do a full backup. Now the earliest backup is only March of this year. To answer any initial questions, no I've done nothing with or to the computer to warrant a new, 25+ Gig backup, let alone a 300 + gig one.
    Thanks in advance

    What is the benefit to using a cloning tool vs. a backup other than full control. is a backup a mirror image while a clone is an exact copy? should i be cloning my stuff or backup is ok if i needed a full restore for HD failure?
    thanks!
    Cloning is a mirror image of your boot drive/partition (minus bootcamp partition) which is hold option bootable.
    It can be used as a backup as you can just update the clone so it mirrors changes on the boot drive.
    Since a clone is bootable, it makes a good option when you need to boot off a dirve other than your boot drive, especially if it fails.
    You can most certainly reverse clone while booted from the clone.
    So lets say your hard drive fails and Apple replaces it, well if you have a clone you simply clone back onto the new drive.
    You should still be making backups of important files regardless, to something else too.
    With backups you have the time advantage, you can backup files and date them, then make another backup and date those.
    Some people like myself and others rotate a clone every two weeks, just in case we have to go back for something .
    With a little management backing up is not problem you just have to leverage what you need and we don't know that at all.

  • Why did my camera shift without me changing the keyframe values?

    I'm working in After Effects and I'm making sure to keyframe the positions of my camera through a null object. I was able to do this fine for about a minute and 30 seconds of the video. All of a sudden after I finish animating some text layers, my camera for literally everything before has shifted to the right. My camera for after the text layer I animated remained where it should be. Why did the camera change like that and how can I fix it without going through each keyframe and changing it?

  • My iMac all of the sudden started going in and out of the dashboard, then started changing all files on the desktop to 2's. It also did this when having another window open. Do I have a virus?

    My iMac all of the sudden started going in and out of the dashboard, then started changing all files on the desktop to 2's. It also did this when having another window open. Do I have a virus?

    There are no viruses that can affect Apple OS X.
    What files do you keep on the Desktop? How many?
    Performance tip: Keep the Desktop clutter-free (empty, if possible)
    Mac OS X's Desktop is the de facto location for downloaded files, and for many users, in-progress works that will either be organized later or deleted altogether. The desktop can also be gluttonous, however, becoming a catch-all for files that linger indefinitely.
    Unfortunately - aside from the effect of disarray it creates - keeping dozens or hundreds of files on the Desktop can significantly degrade performance. Not necessarily because the system is sluggish with regard to rendering the icons on the desktop and storing them in memory persistently (which may be true in some cases), but more likely because keeping an excessive number of items on the Desktop can cause the windowserver process to generate reams of logfiles, which obviously draws resources away from other system tasks. Each of your icons on your desktop is stored as a window in the window server, not as an alias. The more you have stored, the more strain it puts on the window server. Check your desktop for unnecessary icons and clear them out.
    Keeping as few items as possible on the Desktop can prove a surprisingly effective performance boon. Even creating a single folder on your Desktop and placing all current and future clutter inside, then logging out and back in can provide an immediately noticeable speed boost, particularly for the Finder.
    And it is why Apple invented 'Stacks' for Leopard.
    Here is Apple's take on the subject:

  • Why did my camera flash and flashlight quit working on iPod 5 I did a complete restore and still nothing only had for a week can't believe it would be broken already

    Why did my camera flash and flashlight quit working on iPod 5 I did a complete restore just to see and still nothing have only had for a week so I can't believe it would be broken already any ideas

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

  • Why did i loose all my apps and music from my phone when i updated it?

    WHY did i loose all my apps and music from my phonewhen i updated it?

    Without knowing all of the information we can only guess  .... And my guess would be that you did not have the apps selected to sync from iTunes on your computer. If the apps are in iTunes on you computer, select them to sync  and sync again.
    Connect the iPad and sync again - if you auto sync. Then after the iPad syncs the first time - leave it connected to the computer and select the iPad from the left sidebar under the devices heading. Click on the Apps Tab in iTunes. Select each app (click on the boxes next to the names), then click on the Apply button in the lower right corner of iTunes. Make sure that the Sync Apps heading is checked as well.
    If the apps are not in your iTunes library - if you had never transferred the purchases - you will have to download them again via the purchased tab in the App Store on your iPad. Make sure that you use the same ID to redownload the apps that you used to buy them with.

  • HT1386 why did I lose all my contacts when I installed new 5.1 version???

    Why did I lose all of my contacts when I installed 5.1.1 version on my iphone 4? I did back-up and got everything else back except the contacts???

    What address book or cloud service were you syncing your contacts with before the update? They should still be there.
    Contact information is only part of the backup in order to maintain your favorites and recent calls list. Contacts are meant to be synced to a cloud service or address book.

  • My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?

    My camera all of the sudden stopped working. What is going on?

    if by camera you are referring to iSight, here is how to troubleshoot:
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
    Standalone iSight cameras
    The instructions in this section apply if you have an iSight camera that is not built into your computer but attaches to the computer via a FireWire cable.
    Make sure the cable is completely plugged in.
    Incomplete cable connections are the most common cause of hardware problems. Follow these quick instructions to make sure your iSight cable is completely plugged in.If your iSight camera continues to function improperly, continue on to the steps below.
    Turn the computer and the camera off.
    Unplug the FireWire cable from your computer and the camera.
    Wait a few seconds.
    Firmly, without forcing, plug the cable back in to the camera and the computer.
    Caution: FireWire ports are keyed so the FireWire cable can only be inserted one way. Make sure you are inserting the FireWire cable into the FireWire port in the correct orientation.
    Restart your computer.
    If the green light on top of the iSight is not lit, turn on the camera by gently twisting the lens.
    Launch iChat AV.
    See if a different FireWire port works.
    Some Macs have more than one FireWire port. If your computer has another FireWire port, disconnect the iSight camera from the current port and plug it into the other one. Restart your computer and test the camera before continuing to step three.
    Check to see if other FireWire devices work.
    If you have another FireWire device, such as a video camera or an external hard drive, try plugging it into your computer to see if it works. If your other FireWire devices work, this means that your computer's FireWire port is working correctly. If your other FireWire devices don't work, there may be an issue with your computer. Contact an Apple Authorized Service Provider for assistance.
    Determine if there is an incompatibility with another FireWire device.
    If more than one FireWire device is connected to your computer, there may be an incompatibility between two of the devices. To rule this out, disconnect all other FireWire devices from the computer, including external hard drives, CD/DVD drives, other cameras, and FireWire-based networking equipment, such as hubs and repeaters. If your iSight camera works normally when you remove other FireWire devices, plug them back in one at a time to isolate the cause of the issue.
    Make sure the FireWire cable is good.
    Follow these steps to test the FireWire cable:Information about your iSight camera should appear in the FireWire Information field. If you see the iSight camera in this field, your cable is good. Once you've confirmed the cable you are using is good, use it to plug your iSight into your computer. If the green light on the top of the camera does not light up immediately (within a second), there may be an issue with your camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
    Important: Do not send your iSight camera for repair until you have tried each troubleshooting step.If the FireWire cable that came with your iSight camera didn't work, try another FireWire cable that you know works. If this cable works, there is an issue with your iSight's FireWire cable. If your camera is in the limited warranty period, fill out an iSight Service Request to receive a replacement cable.
    Choose About This Mac from the Apple menu.
    Click More Info. System Profiler opens.
    In the System Profiler window, click on the Devices and Volumes option.
    Click the disclosure triangle, if necessary, in the FireWire Information area.
    Check to see if there is an issue with your camera.
    If information about your iSight appears in System Profiler but the camera still does not work, follow these steps:Video from your iSight camera should appear on screen. If the screen is blue or black, there may be an issue with the camera. Fill out an iSight Service Request to have your camera repaired.
    Open iChat AV.
    Choose Preferences from the iChat menu.
    Click the Video button.
    Twist the front of the iSight camera lens to open the iris barrier. The green light on the camera turns on when the iris barrier is open.

  • I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 225GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything, Help!

    I'm running OS X 10.6.8-Why is Time Machine all of a sudden backing up 250GB of data after 2 years of perfect service? I have not added, deleted, or upgraded anything.

    USB 3.0 drives work on USB 2.0 but you do get 2.0 speed. They are cheaper because they are popular PC drives.  If you get a new computer you'll get the bump to 3.0 speed.
    I like the Seagate USB 3.0 Backup plus drives. They come formatted for PC but easy to format in Disk Utility.  Seagate Backup Plus Right now the 1T is more than the 2 & 3T drives
    This Western Digital drive has good reviews: WD My Book Hard Drive for Mac 2 TB $99.
    Locally, Best Buy seems to have the best prices.
    USB 3.0 is 10x faster than USB 2.0
    Thunderbolt is 12 times faster than FireWire 800 and up to 20 times faster than USB 2.0.
    Format new drives with Apple's Disk Utility rather than the software that come with the drive.
    My plan was to rid a lot of the stuff I have on my computer (to a hard drive) anyhow once it had backed up.
    I wound't necessarily backup those files to Time Machine. I would copy to the external drive then delete from computer. Only backup to Time Machine the data you would want to restore to your Mac if there was a problem. The backup will go much faster this way. Time Machine backup is slower than just copying data in my experience.
