Why doesn't my front camera work

Why doesn't my front camera work

Camera
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.

  • Why doesn't my web cam work

    I bought my HP netbook about the 27th Nov 2011, the web cam worked a treat, but during the x-mas week it started playing up and now doesn't work at all. Can you give me some info as to what to do about this problem. I have reset the computer to the original factory settings but the camera still doesn't work.

  • Why won't my front camera work?

    When i open my camera on my ipod the camera wont let me take pictures.

    If the shutter will not open try the following in order:
    - Reset the iPod:
    Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    -Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on your computer
    - Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod via itunes- .
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare since you likely have a hardware problem. You can see other similar posts by searching the iPod Touch forum for: stuck shutter.

  • Why Doesn't the XIRR function work?

    In Excel if you have 5 records from a1:b5 then XIRR looks like this:
    XIRR(A1:A5, B1:B5) you get a nice neat answer like .35
    Here is a version that works in Crystal that would require manual entry of any new quarters numbers and dates-- and if you plug this into Crystal it works:
    (XIRR([1000000,-100000,-100000,-100000,-100000,10277.49,-100000], [DateValue(1999,2,1),DateValue(1999,3,1),DateValue(1999,6,1), DateValue(1999,12,1),DateValue(2000,3,1),DateValue(2000,6,1),DateValue(2000,9,1)]))*.100
    You do get a nice answer of something like .035.  But this is all done manually and I need it to function automatically when the report is refreshed.
    So you have a range for the currency and a range for the date fields. I need to simulate this in crystal. Crystal has an XIRR function, and with the arrays, I should be able to fill in the range, but am having difficulty getting it to work.
    After building the arrays, I made another formula to combine the arrays in the XIRR formula.
    I am down to this error now after getting this formula this far  --
    "Numerical method did not converge; try another value for guess."
    Here's where I am with the formula, although they don't want to use the guess part of the XIRR function - they just want to use the XIRR(number/currency, date).  Maybe you could pass this on too?:
    /{@Reset} for the group header (NOT using a repeated group header):
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x := 0;
    datevar array y := date(0,0,0);
    numbervar i := 0;
    numbervar j := 0;
    //{@accum} for the detail section:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    numbervar i := i + 1;
    numbervar j := count({table.groupfield},{table.groupfield});
    if i <= j then (
    redim preserve x[j];
    redim preserve y[j];
    x<i> := tonumber({table.currency});
    y<i> := datevalue({table.datetime})
    //{@xirr calc} to be placed in the group footer:
    whileprintingrecords;
    numbervar array x;
    datevar array y;
    xirr(x,y)
    The array works correctly.  So why do I get that error and why doesn't the XIRR formula work like they say it should?  Has anyone used this successfully in Crystal--maybe you could shed some light?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    I am receiving that same error when the last item in the array is 0, otherwise all works perfectly.
    When I run the same group of numbers and dates in Excel it returns without issue.
    -265500.00,-690000.00,-570000.00,16814.25,-855000.00,-619500.00,55293.46,30411.40,15183.76,  0.00
    01-25-2007,03-06-2007,05-02-2007,06-29-2007,08-01-2007,08-24-2007,09-17-2007,03-14-2008,05-28-2008,03-31-2010
    =XIRR(A2:J2,A1:J1,-0.1)
    Is there a known bug in Crystal's XIRR function when the last value is 0? 
    Or a hot-fix that will repair this?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary
    PS. I am using Crystal XI Product Version: 11.0.0.2495

    Why doesn't my mail icon work?

    If you moved Mail out of the Applications folder, then applied the security update, Mail has been disabled.
    It must stay protected in the Applications folder, or you risk the possibility that malware might change it and use it to send spam.

    Why doesn't the "back" button work all the time in Safari?

    thanks for the reply. You prompted me to check and I realised it wasn't installed on my test laptop and opening in Microsoft Reader. I've installed it now and it works.
    My next challenge is to prevent the mailto: command opening Microsoft Mail instead of Outlook, but I guess every user will have a different default.
    Thank you

  • Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Why doesn't my VGA adapter work to connect my iPad2 to my projector. I haven't had any problems in the past?

    Hey MarieF-D,
    Thanks for the question. The following article provides basic troubleshooting steps that may help to resolve your issue:
    iOS: About Apple Digital AV Adapters
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4108
    Troubleshooting
    If you encounter an issue using the Apple Digital AV Adapter or VGA Adapter:
    Disconnect and reconnect the adapter from the iOS device and display.
    Connect directly to the TV, projector, or external display using a known-good VGA or HDMI cable.
    Remove any VGA or HDMI extension cables or converters.
    Note that accessories that convert a VGA or HDMI signal to other video formats (DVI, Composite, Component) are not supported.
    Ensure that you are using the latest version of iOS. Some Apple Digital AV Adapters require iOS 5.1 or later.
    Note: When using an Apple Digital AV Adapter manufactured before early 2012 with iPad (3rd generation), you may see the "This accessory is not supported" alert. Dismissing the alert will allow you to use the adapter.
    For optimal performance, you may need to adjust the video resolution or settings for your display. If your display offers an "auto detect" or "factory default" setting, you may be able to use these options to optimize video resolution and display.
    Thanks,
    Matt M.

    Try a Reset [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!

  • Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

    Lost my iPhone and why doesn't find my iPhone work

    A friendly reminder: In order to use Find My IPhone Successfully, you need to 1. Turn on Location Services, 2. Lock Location Services (Using Restrictions in Settings, General, Restrictions) so that if some one else finds your IPhone, they can NOT turn off Find My IPhone And/Or Location Services itself! 3. Add your Mobile Me and/Or ICloud Account to your IPhone. 4. Lock Accounts (Again in Restrictions) from being changed or Deleted so that your Mobile Me And/OR ICloud Account can NOT be Deleted! 5. Look Up the Location of your IPhone Before Suspending Service to the IPhone, NOT after Suspending Service (simple common since applies here as well).

  • Why doesn't my duplicate frame work in photoshop 2014?

    why doesn't my duplicate frame work in photoshop 2014?
    I draw a figure in frame 0 then duplicate frame. After the frame is duplicated I move the figure over to make sure there are different frames but as soon as I check the first frame Ive noticed that both frames have moved together. So nothing has changed. Why?

    I always create the individual frames in layer groups first. So build what you need, break them up or duplicate them, position them where you want them and then create your frames by turning off all the layer groups or layers you don't need.
    Here is an example of one of my layer pallets:
    Each scene is a frame and I turn them on and off as I need them.
