Why is my iphone camera black? I restarted it and tried it on apps, but its still black

I was on my phone today using whatsapp, when i was getting notification of incoming messages but they weren't appearing in the chats. Then my phone started vibrating rapidly and i clicked the lock button. when the vibrating stopped, i open my phone and some of the apps were not working, meaning i would click them and they would go to a black screen and close by themselves. I then turned off my phone to restart it and when it came back on again, the camera was not working. it was completely black. i then opened my snapchat app and the camera was also black and nothing i did seemed to get it to work again, can you help?

You might try a reset--hold down Start and Home buttons, ignore slider.  After a few seconds phone will restart, release buttons when you see Apple logo--no data will be lost.

    Find my friends Icon disappeared after upgrade to ios 8. I tried restarting as well as reinstalled the app but its not working. I can find it in Usage, but not in spot light. Pla help!!

    I have exactly the same problem on a 4S on iOS 8. Have tried uninstalling, deleting FMF from backup, resetting phone and restoring from backup, but the problem remains. Sometimes the icon appears on a backup Home screen in iTunes, but it never appears on the phone itself. The app is accessible by going to the store, purchases and opening it from there. The app appears to have been running the whole time, but becomes invisible anytime I return to the home screen.

  • My iphone 4 has no more storage capacity, i have deleted apps but its not freeing up any memory, can anyone advise?

    Well if you have 3 gigs of music that is taking up half right there. Pictures and videos also take up a lot of space as well. Another thing is texts are saved on the phone. Try deleting them but texts don't nomally take up a lot of space.

  • I have uninstalled Flash, and tried many different suggestions, but Firefox still crashes every few minutes. WHY? Check crash reports for najibul.huq@

    There are hundreds of Crash reports with my email address on it. I don't know what is causing it. There is no indication and help anywhere that has indicated it. Flash seemed to be problematic, so I tried uninstalling flash completely and using WITHOUT flash - still the same.
    I have uninstalled FF and re-installed it with new file from getfirefox.com - still the exact same.
    Is there anyone who can tell me what to do? Please review my crash reports under my email address, and advise what I can do. My last few crash IDs:
    59c3489c-c8f3-48e3-ad8e-e5618e1a46ab

    All within 2-3 minutes of each other.
    I'm going crazy with this. How can I get the Old firefox that worked. I think anything after v12-13 is complete load of crap that doesn't work!
    I am using Windows XP, is that a reason? How can I get a Xp-friendly version of FF?

    Thank you for the response.
    I restarted in Safe Mode, but it crashed again in 2 minutes. Can you decipher the Crash report? Because I don't understand anything from it. No way to figure what is exactly causing it.... The Troubleshoot did not help at all, very basic, and irrelevant info. I have hundreds of crash reports, but here's the latest ones, PLease Help:

  • I just got a new iphone 3g. my phone is locked and only allows emergency calls. i tried to restore it but its still locked. what do i need to do?????

    Ask the Verizon store to exchange your iPhone for a different iPhone 4.
    UPDATE - Sure, try ckuan's solution first.  Then use mine if that fails.

  • My ipod 5th generation screen cracked a few months ago or so. Today I went on it and the screen was half black and had red, blue and green lines on it the screen does not work and ive tried to reset it but its still the same what is it? how can i fix it?

    help!!!

    Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ extended warranty,
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for (USA) $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.
    Apple - iPod Repair price                                    
    A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

    Replace the screen yourself if you are up to it

    Hello Feller11,
    The next step would be to report the problem with your purchase to the folks in the iTunes Store.

  • My iphone 3gs have a problom because i tryed to downloud apps from my computer without apple id so i tryed update it to ios5 when i made an apple id and the phone restarted dureing the update and i restored it but now i can not activate it why is that ???

DO NOT RELEASE UNTIL THEN otherwise you are just shutting it down. So, I did that and it worked again....

  • Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "Cannot take photo" there is not enough available storage to take a photo, etc? I have it hooked up to ICloud and the cameral roll???

    Why does my iPhone camera keep telling me "cannot take photo" there's not enough storage, but I have my phone/camera roll hooked up to Icloud and have purchased additional storage???

    iCloud storage has nothing to do with remaining memory on the phone - only memory for backups and Photostream.  The photo has to first be stored on the phone and copies sent to iCloud.  If there is not enough available memory on the phone, the photo can't be taken.
    To determine the remaining memory on the phone:
    Settings > General > Usage > Storage
    The Camera Roll is meant for temporary storage of photos, which should be imported to an app on your computer and deleted from Camera Roll.  You can then sync back those photos which you want to keep on the phone.

    Agreed.  Even the iPhone has multiple built-in keyboards to choose from.

  • Hello, I can't turn my iphone 4s on, it just broke down and now there's just the black screen with the apple logo on it. So I connected it to itunes and tried to restore it, but than always the errors 1603

    You may have a faulty USB cable. Try another.
    Make sure you are following the instructions in this procedure to the letter. Here they are, with emphasis on some easily overlooked requirements:
    Disconnect the USB cable from the iPhone, but leave the other end of the cable connected to your computer's USB port.
    Turn off the device: Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button for a few seconds until the red slider appears, then slide the slider. Wait for the device to turn off.If you cannot turn off the device using the slider, press and hold the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons at the same time. When the device turns off, release only the Sleep/Wake button.
    Continue pressing and holding the Home button while you reconnect the USB cable to the device. The device should turn on.Note: If you see the "low battery" screen, let the device charge for at least ten minutes to ensure that the battery has some charge, and then start with step 2 again.
    Continue holding the Home button until you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen. When this screen appears (iTunes icon and USB connector) release the Home button.
    If necessary, open iTunes. You should see the "recovery mode" alert ("iTunes has detected a phone in recovery mode").
    Use iTunes to restore the iPhone.
    If you do not see the "Connect to iTunes" screen, try these steps again. If you see the "Connect to iTunes" screen but the device does not appear in iTunes, see this article and its related links.
    Select the device in iTunes and choose "restore from backup".
    If you still can't get it to work, you have done all you can and only Apple will be able to help.

  • My iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.

    my iPhone 3g has 2 white horizontal lines i don't know where did it came from. I turn it off then on but its still there. the lines spreads everyday. I dont know how to fix it. need some help guys.

    If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
    If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
    If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
    Let me know!

  • I've let my friend use my Twitter app on my iPhone, once they were finished they deleted their account on there, but I still get their push notifications, why is that?

    I've let my friend use my Twitter app on my iPhone, once they were finished they deleted their account on there, but I still get their push notifications, why is that?
    This is really annoying me and I'd love a way to stop this happening, I've tried deleting and re-downloading the app and that hasn't worked

    Your friend can get a new Apple Id for themselves, and create a different account on one of the laptops. Then put all their music in a separate iTunes library, and sync the phone to that particular library.
    This will keep there music separate from your library and their brother's library.
    Just make another User on your computer for your friend to store their music in.
