IPod Touch 5th generation front-facing camera has stopped working

After updating to ios 7, my front-facing camera has stopped working on my ipod touch 5th generation. I have tried doing a full restore to factory settings, resetting data settings, turning it on and off, and all the basic things. Here are a few pictures:
This is with the rear-facing camera, it works just fine.
Now this is the front-facing camera:
When i try to use the front-facing camera, the screen goes like this and the camera app freezes, i can't switch back to read camera or anything. Other applications like snapchat don't have a button to switch the camera.
It's like the camera app is detecting that the version of ipod has a camera, but it can't seem to find it. Btw, i live in Australia and am an apple developer.
I like srsly need to get my front camera working. Thanks
I am also using iOS 7.1 beta.

HT201406 Ipod touch 5th generation front camera not working?

Ive had my ipod for at least 3-4 months now, and just today my front camera stopped working! I go to my camera app, (the built in one) and it defaults to the back camera. when I tap the little switch icon, I get a blurry, and sometimes black, screen. as if the shutter isnt opening. I have updated the ios software and shut down the ipod multiple times. I really dont want to reset the ipod because it will delete my apps.

I just want to know when the new ipod touch 5th generation will come out

i just want to know when the new ipod touch 5th generation will come out

Apple has not announced any new iPod models. When they do, we'll all find out at the same time, I would guess, since the announcement will be prominent on every Apple-related web site and will probalby be posted in multiple threads in these forums.
Forum Tip: Since you're new here, you've probably not discovered the Search feature available on every Communities page, but next time, it might save you time (and everyone else from having to answer the same question multiple times) if you search a couple of ways for a topic, both in the relevant forums and in the Apple Knowledge Base before you post a question.

Ipod Touch 5th Generation has songs on it that are not mine

When my "Show All Music" setting is toggled to ON, my Ipod Touch 5th Generation will have several songs I don't own or recognize that is mixed in with my music. These songs are not downloaded to my device, but somehow the Cloud thinks that I own them and has them stored for me. I have checked my ITunes library on my computer but it doesn't show these songs there either. Where did these come from and how can I get them removed?

Are they the free U2 songs that Apple pushed to your for free?
If so, to remove them
Remove U2 Album
Otherwise:
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.

Apple have never accepted trade-ins agains the cost of a new device. You will need to sell the one you bought and apply the proceeds to the model you want.

My two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation has a faulty earphone socket

Hi guys,
I have a two month old iPod Touch 5th Generation which has developed a faulty earphone socket. When I plug in my earphones, the music is distorted if I have the volume over halfway. I also use it to supply all the background music for church every week and I am struggling to get a good mix with it turned down so as not to distort. The situation is that it was a gift to me and the person who purchased it in January no longer resides in the UK and now cannot find the original receipt. However, someone did tell me that as soon as I switched on the iPod and setup the Wi-Fi and GPS, it sent information to Apple??
Question's are, is that true? Will Apple repair it without the original receipt?

I have checked the warranty details online as you suggested and it says it is under warranty until the 7th January 2015. I then tried to explain what the problem was, but it kept asking me to enter my telephone number but as this is a USA website, it did not recognise my telephone number, also that the stores that I could take it into were all in the USA. Have tried to see if there is an UK option on the site, but as yet, no Joy.

I just bought an iPod touch 4th generation 8GB for $199.99 but then when the iPod touch 5th generation came out, the 4th generation was still $199.99, but for a whole 16GB. Is there a way I can get some sort of free space?

If "just" is less than 14 days, you can return your iPod to Apple for a full refund.

If my ipod touch 5th generation headphone port is no longer repairable then will apple repair it for me, and for what cost if the warranty has not ended yet.

- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store and find out if it is covered by the warranty. Sometimes/frequenlty your damage is cased by abuse.operator error/accidental damage which is not covered by the warranty.

If not covered by warranty:
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $88 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

HT1222 I have a Ipod touch 5th generation and for got my passcode and need to change it but every time I connect it to itune I get a error message say it has tobe unlock before it can be restored

My wife and I brought a Ipod touch 5th generation for our grandson after which he let a bully at school take it from him and change the passcode. We retrieved the ipod from the young man with a fare amount of run around. But now we are lockout. of it and when we look up how to reset it we where told to connect to itune,but when doing so I got a error message stating that the device had to be unlock before it could be restored. Is there another way that I may restore the Ipod?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

Where are the cases specifically for the 16GB iPod touch 5th generation!?

     The 16GB model of the iPod touch 5th generation was released on May 30, 2013, replacing the 4th generation iPod touch because of it being uncompatible with an upcoming version of iOS. (as known as; iOS 7) This "new" (not so new anymore) 16GB model is the exact same as the other 5th generation iPod touch's (now called the 32GB/64GB models) except 3 differences; which make finding a case for it impossible. It has no rear facing iSight camera, LED Flash, iPod touch loop, and the microphone has been repositioned to the top of the device.
     Now everyone who owns an Apple product, or knows anything about Apple, knows good and well that it doesn't take 3 months for a new device to receive a compatible case from a case manufacturer. I'm tired of it! We all know that cases that are actually made to protect the iPod are going to be covering that microphone at the top, and, if you have the 16GB model, having big cutouts on the back of the case for a camera and loop that aren't there is going to become annoying.
     I love the iPod and all of its features; considering that it's only $70 more than the overpriced nano and I get the App Store, 4" iPhone 5 Retina Display, a speaker, Front facing HD Camera, iOS and more, I'm happy with it and its price. But I hate that there is no cases for it. Any help?

Found one on best buy
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Belkin+-+Grip+Neon+Glo+Case+for+Apple%26%23174%3B+iP od%26%23174%3B+touch+5th+Generation+-+Pink/1331013.p?id=1219050712926&skuId=1331 013
by Belkin, so a place to start.
They're a lot more expensive, but Griffin has some of their 'survivor' cases with sealed ports, so you could cover up the ones you don't need.
If best buy isn't an option for you, at least there's a manufacturer to look for.

IPod Touch 5th Generation won't boot?

I have an iPod Touch 5th Generation. Recently, I plugged it in to charge overnight, and upon awakening it was turned off. It booted fine then, but took longer than usual. The same thing happened even more recently, but now it will not boot. Instead, it remains at the apple logo for over 8 hours. I have tried a hard reboot already. I am able to enter both DFU mode and recovery mode, but they are both recognized by iTunes as recovery mode. I know it must be in DFU mode because the screen is black.. My most recent backup was to my laptop but is EXTREMELY outdated, and it got corrupted. Is there a way to make an encrypted backup while the device is in either DFU or recovery mode? I refuse to restore the device as I would lose over $5,000 worth of information. Any solutions? I am running iOS 7.0.4 and am unaware of any update-- if there is one let me know. My device is NOT jailbroken, but I think the warranty expired a few days ago- ironically just before this happened. Nice timing.

I plugged it in to charge this morning while it was in recovery mode. I just came home to see it in the reboot loop again. I have unplugged it and did the following:
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
Once the Apple logo showed up, I plugged it in to my computer and waited for iTunes to recognize the device for about 15 minutes. Nothing happened, so I could not backup the device.
Since it has a full charge, I would estimate it to take many hours to discharge completely. By "discharge completely", do you mean to drain it to the point where the internal clock stops functioning? I have done this on my iPhone 3G many times, and it fixes most errors. I intend to drain it past the "low battery" image that shows when attempting to turn on the device.
