Why wont my camera work

a couple months ago, Apple replaced my phone because of a broken on/off button but now every time I want to use the camera, it doesn't work. I have to reset my phone every time I want to use it or any application that requires the camera. HELP!

Hello many_ortiz,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information, take a look at:
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts2802
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.
Have a nice day,
Mario

Why wont google toolbar work with fire fox 5????? also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

Hello,my question is why wont google toolbar work with firefox 5?????
Also how can i get firefox 4 back so i can use the toolbar???

This page is an easier way to download Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/products/download.html?product=firefox-4.0&os=win&lang=en-US , as this links starts the download process asap.
I needed to upgrade to Firefox 4.0+ for an add-on that I really needed. However, I can't use Firefox 5.0, as I randomly checked 3 add-on's I had: "Firefox PDF", "Delicious Bookmarks" and "After the Deadline", and none of them worked with Firefox 5.0. In fact, I will have to download alpha versions, etc., to get these add-ons to work with Firefox 4.0.

Why wont my volume work on my iPhone 4s?

why wont my volume work on my iPhone 4s?

Hey Chelsreb,
Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with your iPhone 4s. The following resource may provide a solution:
iPhone: No sound or distorted sound from speaker
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts5180
1. Verify that the volume is set to a level you would normally be able to hear.
2. Ensure that there is nothing plugged in to the headset jack or the dock connector.
3. If the iPhone is in a protective case, make sure that the speaker port isn't blocked by the case.
4. Make sure that the speaker and dock port aren't clogged with debris. If necessary, clean it with a clean, small, dry, soft-bristled brush. Carefully and gently brush away any debris.
5. If an audio issue occurs when using a specific application, try testing other applications to see if the issue persists.
6. If the iPhone is paired with a Bluetooth headset or car kit:
- Try turning off Bluetooth.
- If you experience difficulties with the Bluetooth feature, follow these troubleshooting steps.
7. Restart the iPhone.
8. If restarting doesn't fix the issue, ensure that your iPhone is updated to the latest version of iOS.
9. If the issue is not resolved after restoring the iPhone software, please contact Apple Support.
If the issue persists, please follow the last step by contacting Apple Support for support and service options.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Why Can't Camera Work with Windows Messenger for Mac and give output video?

I can see from the other end, but my camera won't come on so they can't see me. I hear them and can type in Messenger, but I'd like to have 2-way video, not just receive.
My camera works as I use it in Photo Booth, so that's not the problem. I can't find a way to setup the video within Messenger. Don't know if it's problem with Messenger or Leopard.
Whatever it is, it's very annoying that I can't output video.
Anyone with similar problem or have the answer? I'd be forever grateful!

Microsoft Messenger doesn't have video support on the Mac version. If you want crossplatform videochat, ask your friends to join AOL Instant Messenger. You can get video chat crossplatform between AOL Instant Messenger for PC & Apple's iChat which supports AOL Instant Messenger screen names. Skype is crossplatform too. An open source program called ophonex supports Microsoft Messenger's Netmeeting protocol for video chat as well. IRC is also crossplatform in videochat though its setup is a bit more complicated with the software known as Ircle for the Mac.

This works, using the ASAP 1 watermark that is in bold. ASAP 1 is a built-in building block, if i just rename this to ASAP, but save it in the same place with buildingblocks.dotx it wont work. What do i need to do to be able to use this with my custom building
blocks?

Why isnt my camera working?

it will work every now and then, but for months it will stop working and turn black and purple. i dont understand why! ive tried restarting it but it wont help

did you damage it? because it sounds like its been damaged one way or another. becuase if you did thats a hard ware issue that WONT be fixed by basic troubleshooting. the only real thing you can do for hardware damage is take it to apple and let them look it and let them fix it for you ( if they offer that in your area)

Why wont this script work???

Hi,
I have previously used this script to make a portrait scroll bar which works perfectly, however i have altered the script to work in a landscape scroll bar by altering the x and y axis and switching out the height for width. However a part of it wont work...The left and right arrows work correctly however the scroll bar does not move and I can not for the life of me figure out why.
Does anyone have any ideas as to what ive missed or done wrong?
Thanks in advance
scrolling = function () {
var scrollWidth:Number = scrollTrack._width;
var contentWidth:Number = contentMain._width;
var scrollFaceWidth:Number = scrollFace._width;
var maskWidth:Number = maskedView._width;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._x=scrollTrack._x;
var initContentPos:Number = contentMain._x;
var finalContentPos:Number = maskWidth-contentWidth+initContentPos;
var left:Number = scrollTrack._y;
var top:Number = scrollTrack._x;
var right:Number = scrollTrack._y;
var bottom:Number = scrollTrack._width-scrollFaceWidth+scrollTrack._x;
var dy:Number = 0;
var speed:Number = 10;
var moveVal:Number = (contentWidth-maskWidth)/(scrollWidth-scrollFaceWidth);
scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._x;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
   dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._x);
   contentMain._x = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
   if (contentMain._x+speed<maskedView._x) {
    if (scrollFace._x<=top) {
     scrollFace._x = top;
    } else {
     scrollFace._x -= speed/moveVal;
    contentMain._x += speed;
   } else {
    scrollFace._x = top;
    contentMain._x = maskedView._x;
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnUp.onDragOut = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnUp.onRelease = function() {
delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnDown.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
   if (contentMain._x-speed>finalContentPos) {
    if (scrollFace._x>=bottom) {
     scrollFace._x = bottom;
    } else {
     scrollFace._x += speed/moveVal;
    contentMain._x -= speed;
   } else {
    scrollFace._x = bottom;
    contentMain._x = finalContentPos;
    delete this.onEnterFrame;

scrollFace._visible = false;
btnUp.enabled = false;
btnDown.enabled = false;
} else {
scrollFace._visible = true;
btnUp.enabled = true;
btnDown.enabled = true;
scrolling();

sorry should have said...its the aspect relating to "scrollFace" which is mentioned throughout..ive marked it out in bold and taken out anything unrelivant.
Thanks
So its:
scrolling = function () {
var scrollFaceWidth:Number = scrollFace._width;
var initPosition:Number = scrollFace._x=scrollTrack._x;
var bottom:Number = scrollTrack._width-scrollFaceWidth+scrollTrack._x;
var moveVal:Number = (contentWidth-maskWidth)/(scrollWidth-scrollFaceWidth);
scrollFace.onPress = function() {
var currPos:Number = this._x;
startDrag(this, false, left, top, right, bottom);
this.onMouseMove = function() {
   dy = Math.abs(initPosition-this._x);
   contentMain._x = Math.round(dy*-1*moveVal+initContentPos);
scrollFace.onMouseUp = function() {
stopDrag();
delete this.onMouseMove;
btnUp.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
   if (contentMain._x+speed<maskedView._x) {
   if (scrollFace._x<=top) {
     scrollFace._x = top;
    } else {
     scrollFace._x -= speed/moveVal;
    contentMain._x += speed;
   } else {
    scrollFace._x = top;
    contentMain._x = maskedView._x;
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
btnDown.onPress = function() {
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
   if (contentMain._x-speed>finalContentPos) {
   if (scrollFace._x>=bottom) {
     scrollFace._x = bottom;
    } else {
     scrollFace._x += speed/moveVal;
    contentMain._x -= speed;
   } else {
   scrollFace._x = bottom;
    contentMain._x = finalContentPos;
    delete this.onEnterFrame;
if (contentWidth<maskWidth) {
scrollFace._visible = false;
btnUp.enabled = false;
btnDown.enabled = false;
} else {
scrollFace._visible = true;
btnUp.enabled = true;
btnDown.enabled = true;

Why wont elements video work

I have just ugraded to elements 12 fro 9 and the video editor side wont load although 9 was also a bust. It asks me to sign in and when I do nothing happens I can click on new project or existing and the little stripe does its thing then nothing

browndwarf
Do you have an active Internet Connection?
You need to Sign In to the program with your Adobe ID and password otherwise the program will not work.
http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/12/pe12-adobe-idpassword-requirement-for.html
Please check out the above in that regard, although, from what you wrote, you "signed in". It includes a description of a problem that I had with Sign In dialog.
Since you are having difficulties using Premiere Elements 9 or 12 on your computer, this suggests that the problem may be in the computer.
1. What computer operating system is your computing running on? Please describe it resources?
2. What video card/graphics card is your computer using? Is it using 2?
3. Are you running the program as Run As Administrator and from a User Account with Administrative Privileges?
4. Do you have the latest version of QuickTime installed on your computer with Premiere Elements 12? Is Premiere Elements 9.0/9.0.1 still installed on this same computer?
5. Do you have 3rd party plug-ins and codecs installed on this computer? In reviewing your installed programs, do you see any likely candidates for conflicting programs?
6. You say that Premiere Elements 9 was a "bust also". Did you troubleshoot that at the time and what were you told were your problems? Or was that never defined?
Please check out the above and then let us know if any of it applies to your situation.
Thanks.

Why doesnt my camera work?

my iphone's camera does not work. the one facing me does though. the screen is completely black and stays like that.how can i fix it?

Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new). Try each of these in order until the issue is resolved.

Why wont simple password work locked out?

I changed the simple password from the 4 digit option in general settings and restarted my ipod touch 2 gen and when the locak screen came up it didnt have the the four digit option it had the keyboard. I typed my four digit password and now Im locked out any idea why this happend?
Any help would be very helpful and is anyone else had this problem?
Thanks

I would just connect the iPod to its syncing computer and restore the iPod. I iTunes asks for the passcode and you can't enter the passcoe, place the iPod in recovery mode and then restore the iPod. For recvery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
It appears that your passcode and other than simple digets since the keyboard only comes up if you have non-simple digets even if you have the non-simple passcode off.

Why wont yahoo mail work after updating to newst firefox?

I can access yahoo mail site, but when I try to go to inbox, nothing happens. None of the tabs work either. I can access my account with Chrome but not with the updated Firefox.

Not sure why.
As with a problem with a 3rd party app on your computer, contact the app developer for this app regarding the problem you are having with the app on your iPhone.

Why wont my Webcam work after Mavericks update?

I upgraded from 10.7.5 and now seemingly no webcam functions work properly. Not Facebook, Skype, iMovie, or Photo Booth. Photo Booth told me "Cannot Save photo" after first, but after creating a new Photo Booth Library to see if that could fix it, the Capture button simply clicks with no result. Photo Booth does recognize the built-in camera and I can see myself, but I cannot record anything.
In Skype the camera will freeze within 5 minutes of use. If I want to get it to work I have to restart the program, which only works for 5ish minutes before it freezes again. Facebook thinks I don't have a webcam.
I also downloaded the new iMovie, which seemed to use the webcam fine at first. Then it suddenly refused to open, slowing down the entire computer while attempting to open until I have to Force Quit it. I can't seem to open the program anymore. I can open the old iMovie, but when I attempt to record a pop-up tells me "No camera connected - To import video, please connect a camera"
I need help or Maverick need to update because this is getting pretty obnoxious.

If How to Troubleshoot iSight doesn't help, Reinstall OS X.

Why wont my imessage work for just one contact

For some reason my iPhone wont let me imessage with just one of my contacts... it works with all the other ones but that contact stays regular sms text! Tried rebooting the phone and turning my imessage on and off... dont get it!

I have the same problem as SWatson12, and the person I'm texting has an iPhone 4S like me and is in my house - so there isn't a question of coverage area or type of phone.
But iMessage still works with this person if I text via my Mac or iPad.
This has been a problem since last night. At first, when I updated to 10.8.2, it worked great!

Why wont my file work?

//Robert Key                    Building.java                    1/2/05
//Design and implement a class called Building that represents a drawing
//of a building. The parameters to the constructor should be the building's
//width and height. Each building should be colored black and have a few
//random windows colored yellow. Create an applet that draws a random
//skyline of buildings
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class P4_9 extends Applet
     public void Building (Graphics building)
     //--------constructors--------
     int height1 = 10, width1 = 5;
     int height2 = 15, width2 = 5;
     int height3 = 17, width3 = 5;
     setBackground (Color.gray);
     //Draws building one
     building.setColor (Color.black);
     building.fillRect (0, 175, 300, 50);
}Then i made a html file with
<html>
<applet code="P4_9.class" width=300 height=300> </applet>
</html>
But it wont load up...Why is this?

--it wont load because you're not calling your Building() method...
you modify your code like this:
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.Applet;
public class myApplet extends Applet
     Graphics g;
     public void init(){ // <<-- you can call it here...
          g=getGraphics();
          Building(g);
public void Building (Graphics building)
//--------constructors--------
int height1 = 10, width1 = 5;
int height2 = 15, width2 = 5;
int height3 = 17, width3 = 5;
setBackground (Color.gray);
//Draws building one
building.setColor (Color.black);
building.fillRect (0, 175, 300, 50);
}
