<p>It’s just gone. No icon. No nothing. It hasn’t even been hooked back to the computer in months. I went to take a photo and …no got no camera. Can’t access itunes from the laptop (home computer crashed).</p>
<p>Help. Pretty please? I’m completely worthless at this stuff.</p>
<p>[Apple</a> - Support - Discussions - Missing Camera Icon on iPhone …](<a href=“http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8289295]Apple”>http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=8289295)</p>
<p>Curm, check out this thread and see if any of the solutions work for you. </p>
<p>If not, google “iPhone camera icon disappeared” – there are several hits and one of them is bound to be what you need. Good luck! :)</p>
<p>Great. Now I have to get all smart …and stuff. And learn new words. What if I bounce the darn thing off the floor a few times? Might that work? Ya know Curmudgeon’s Law #1…“If ya can’t fix it with a hammer, you can damn well teach it a lesson.” I have a hammer.</p>
<p>Just kidding. Thanks a lot. I just hate this tech-y stuff. And I really would rather just smash it with hammer. ;)</p>
<p>curm, i dont have an iphone but i’ve actually seen that happen before to a friend of mine… check and see if it accidently somehow got set to restricted… thats in settings then general and restrictions…</p>
<p>I’d recommend getting a camera…</p>
<p>mini, I take about …ohh…zero pictures a month. I don’t own a camera, don’t want a camera, and don’t like my picture taken (stealing my soul and all that). The iphone makes it stupid easy for a Luddite like me to email pics. I had just painted a motorcycle with (what seems like) 47 cans of flat black textured spray paint for a Halloween Rally and wanted to share my laughter at the resale crippling result. (It’s not quite Mad Max so let’s call it Mad Mel. ;))</p>
<p>And I couldn’t . </p>
<p>I hate technology. I use it, but I still hate it.</p>
<p>Well, here goes nothing. There was an option to reset all settings. Fingers crossed. Chants , chanted. Voodoo-ed like you’d-do. So far all I got is an Apple with a bite out of it. Watch me lose the phone function now.</p>
<p>I’ll be danged!!! It worked. Thanks fendergirl!! I could even do that.</p>
<p>Hooray! good for you!</p>
<p>Woohoo…see Curm…it takes a 20 something to be able to “deal with” these techie issues. That’s if you don’t have a teenager!! </p>
<p>DD is leaving this week. She is leaving ME her cell phone (she’ll get one at her PC country), and her camera (she has been given a nicer and better new one). I don’t know how to use EITHER of them. My husband (the engineer) will say “read the documentation”. Who has time for THAT? Just tell me how to use the stinking things.</p>
<p>Iphones take GREAT pics. I wish I had one of those.</p>
<p>…and you can take a picture of where you parked your car in the parking garage…</p>
<p>MoWC-</p>
<p>I actually do that at work in the parking garage.
Depending on the time I arrive, I have to park in a different available section each day.</p>
<p>The ‘memory’ of my parking spot each day all look the same in my head, the camera doesn’t lie.</p>
<p>Well, Cur, if you try hard enough, maybe you can muster up the technical know-how of a typical 2-year old: [Toddlers’</a>; Favorite Toy: The iPhone](<a href=“http://www.nytimes.com/2010/10/17/fashion/17TODDLERS.html]Toddlers’”>iPhones for Toddlers - The New York Times) ;)</p>
<p>I must say that my 18 month old grandson LOVES our iphones. Well, any cell phone but particularly iphones. And, yes, he does know how to turn it on and unlock it. He has rearranged my apps on my screen several times. Maybe THAT’s what originally happened to your camera app?? 
Phantom baby attack!</p>
<p>My 4 year old cousins daughter loves to look at my pictures when she is in town. Neither of her parents have an iPhone, so I have no idea how she is so quick on one. After going through almost 200 pictures, she said she wanted to see the other ones, the ones in the library. I went to take the phone from her to get to those pictures when she insisted she wanted to do it; and that she did. The she wanted to check out what games I had and proceeded to play a couple of them.</p>
<p>Other than a very sticky phone, she left the phone how she found it. Oh, there was an email on my cookie solitaire (which I never use) and it took me a few minutes to figure out where it came from; I guess I should have asked the 4 year old, she probably knew what to do!!!</p>
<p>curm, did what I say work?</p>
<p>if so, good job!!!</p>
<p>I knew you could do it!!!</p>
<p>fendergirl, you got me to the right spot. I saw an easy road and I took it. It worked!!</p>
<p>woohooo!!!</p>
