Why won't my iPhone camera app work?

For some odd reason, my camera app isn't working. I closed the app and turned off the power but that didn't make a difference. It sometimes open but it's really glitchy, for example: the screen turns purple (not the whole screen) every time I try to take a pic/video. I did drop my iPhone but I don't think dropping my iPhone damaged it. FaceTime seems to be working fine, it's just the camera app and Snapchat.

  • Why Won't Any Of My Apps Work !?

    Kso, I Followed All Of The Youtube Videos, All Of The Entries, Even The Help FAQS Here, And Still, Nothing.
    No Matter What I Do, My Apps Won't Work.
    Each Time I Go To Download A New App, It Says I Have To Log In, So I Do, Then It Tells Me I Have To Re-Enter My Payment Information.
    So I Re-Enter It, And It Tells Me My Security Code Isn't Right! (I Should Mention I'm Using A Prepaid Vanilla Mastercard, That Still Has $5.00 Left On It).
    So No Matter What I Do, Nothing Works. Help?

    Can I suggest two things (actually, I'm not asking...).
    Stop using a capital letter for every single word. It makes your post very difficult to read and despite reading it twice I still find it difficult to work out where exactly the problem is.
    Confirm that you have followed the advice Illaass gave; i.e. check the link page about your card's code "isn't right."
    Actually - I am going to suggest something else; modify your attitude.
    I can see precisely what you have attempted to use as an ID on this forum and the tone of your post adds to the hostilty that you have. We here - all of us including Illaass, give our time for free. We are not Apple employees, we are simply trying to help our fellow users. We don't need hostilty, so if you continue to act that way, don't be surprised at a lack of help because until you calm down, you will not be able to see the obvious.
    ...and obviously, Apple employees don't need the hostilty either.

  • Why won't my MacBook Pro Apps work properly?

    I've brought a brand new MacBook Pro Mid-2012, its only 8 months old and already I'm having problems. FaceTime won't open at all, it just bounces a few times and that's it, the App store opens, but doesn't load anything; and whenever I click on a tab (like the updates or categories) it becomes unresponsive for hours. I've tried verifying my disk on Disk Utility and theres nothing wrong with it, it say's its perfectly fine. I'm appauled that I've spent so much money on a so called "premium" product expecting quality and all I got is problems within the first year! Can anyone help me please? I really don't know what to do:(:(

    JoooshxD,
    you can try this: boot your MacBook Pro into Recovery mode by holding down a Command key and the R key as it starts up. Once the Mac OS X Utilities menu appears, select Disk Utility. On the left-hand side of the Disk Utility window, select your internal disk’s boot partition (typically called “Macintosh HD”). On the right-hand side, press the Verify Disk button if it’s not greyed out; if it is greyed out, or if it reports that errors were found, press the Repair Disk button. Once the verification/repair is completed, exit Disk Utility and select Restart from the Apple menu to restart in normal mode. Does it still exhibit the same behaviors?

  • Why won't one of my speakers work on my iphone 4?

    why won't one of my speakers work on my iphone 4?

    Not strictly true - though I know what you mean.
    To be absolutely accurate - there is another one - you put your ear to when using the phone to make a call.
    Sorry its being pedantic - but I couldn't resist.

  • Why won't my iphone work on my docking stations, Why won't my iphone work on my docking stations

    Why won't my iphone work in any of my docking stations

    Possibly they are not designed to work with iPhones.
    Possibly there is no physical connection or way to connect them.
    Possibly the docking stations are broken.
    Possibly the device is damaged.
    Without more details of the problem, it's difficult at the least to offer an answer or a possible resolution.

    Your issue is different from the OP's.  In the future, post your own thread to get answer to your specific questions.
    For the OP: Go to Settings > General > Auto-Lock and set it to your preferred time.
    For you: Create a backup and restore the device as new and test it to see if it still gets very hot.
