Camera Frozen

My Ipad camer has frozen when opening.
I have looked at discussions but no joy yet. I have reset the pad (Home button and on button for 10 seconds) and still the same. I then re installed the software and restored from a backup in the cloud from earlier in the day when all was working.
The camera works in facetime ok. Only to take a photo doesn't work.
Any help please.

Thanks for quick reply. I tried that to no avail.  I have just restored the OS in recovery and set the ipad to new. It installed and the camera still doesn't work, so I know the problem isn't with any app or document I had installed.
Has there been any software updates in the last few days maybe a bug in the software? because this seems to be OS Software problem, not hardware or external software bug
Thanks again
Nok

    I recently purchased an iPod touch 4g and was really pleased with it. That was until I tried FaceTime. I connected with a friends iPhone and could see her ok but she could not see me. I then found that I could not switch between the rear and front camera. The sound worked ok but no video! I have now found that the camera is not working at all, when I open the app, the shutter appears closed and will not open. I have tried a restore but this has not worked - can anyone please give me some advice?

    If restarting and resetting your iPod http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430 does not help,
    and if nothing here http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4319 helps,
    return your iPod to your Apple retailer or take it to an Apple Authorized Service Provider for help.

  • ITouch 4g Camera Frozen

    Yo, so after like several months of using my touch, the camera is now frozen and unusable. It is stuck at the shutter screen thingy .
    Im not sure of the cause, but I have resetted my ipod, turned it fully off for about 15 min. and restored the settings. Now im stumped because its summer and i have no camera !
    I just needa know what else i can do to fix my problem and maybe even the cause.
    Thanks people !

    i have done all of this and there is no luck but i am afraid of sending it to apple or even bringing it up on the phone because my ipod is jailbroken but that has nothing to do with the problem i would be greatful to anyone who can tell me a solution but i am hoping ios 5 will fix it

  • Ipad 2 camera frozen

    HI,
    after latest iosupdate  about 3 weeks ago my camera shutter wont open when i try take a fron picture.
    i Have no local Apple store. it was fine before and worked perfectly.
    i Bought the apple device from a reputable seller on ebay about 6 months ago but where do I send it back to. It seems its the update that has made it not work.
    thanks

    Try closing the Camera app via the taskbar and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Mail app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
    If that doesn't work also do a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Camera frozen wont turn on can

    Yeah ive been having this problem for quite a while now, And i pretty much don't know what to do anymore.
    Ive been told to restore it. When I first got my touch the camera was obiously working fine, but it started to lag when it tried to turn on.
    Now it wont turn on at all and its like lagging on the bottom where it shows the camera to slide to video at the bottom right corner.
    Ive restored it completly deleted EVERYTHING because it was the only way it would work. Now its not turning on at all and il let it sit there while the camera tries to turn on but it just goes back to the main screen where all the Apps are.
    Can someone please help me?
    I DO NOT KNOW WHAT TO DO ANYMORE.

    If the camera shutter is stuck shut, lookat this previous discussion.  You likely will have to make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • Iphone 4S camera frozen

    I have only had my phone a couple of weeks- at first the camera wouldnt work in certain apps.  But today on thanksgiving it just froze on the shutter.  I have tried all of the suggested fixes and nothing will wake it up.  Do I have to go in and have it wiped? 
    Thanks

    Basic troubleshooting steps clearly outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new device.
    If you have been through ALL of the troubleshooting steps and you're still having problems, then you'll need to bring your phone to Apple for investigation.

  • Camera frozen iPhone 6 plus

    i bought an iPhone 6 plus 128 Gb space Grey
    Since a few days when switching modes from photo to Video to Slow Mo to photo etc, the screen gets frozen.
    I thought its a problem with the assistive touch but after switching it off too, this problem persists.
    I restore my phone & set it up as anew phone. Still that doesn't resolve it.
    Please help ! Thanks !

    If you've done a restore, then next step is to get in touch with Apple and get the iPhone replaced Im afraid.

  • QuickCam Ultra Vision (Righlight 2) vs 10.5

    Maybe I can get a suggestion here:
    I bought a new (now 6 months) old Logitech QuickCam Ultra Vision with Righlight 2. With Tiger 10.4, it worked like a charm out of the box, and, on iChat and Skype it was recognized as a Logitech Camera with no problems (all third party iSight applications also played well with it.)
    Enter 10.5 Panther,... iChat no longer recognizes it, on Skype you can only see a frozen video still on the video preferences window. Oddities: On Skype, camera selection went from "Logitech Camera" only, to "Logitech Camera"/"Leopard iSight Video."
    If (on Skype) I select "Logitech Camera," frozen video still "feature;" If I select "Leopard iSight Video,"
    it will play for a couple seconds before it bombs,... so, no video with QuickCam Ultra Vision and Panther.
    Query: has any other owners experience this, and found a fix, or does anybody know of one?. Help will be appreciated.
    Minor FYI: camera is directly connected to G5's USB2 port instead of the hub. Incoming video works only on Skype only, the same with two way voice comm.

    Hello BobGuthrie
    I do not use a Logitech camera, but because it is a UVC webcam, it should work with your Leopard Mac. I am not so certain about whether the Logitech software might cause problems if you have added or migrated it to your Leopard install. Perhaps some other reader can help you with that info.
    If you updated via your Mac's Software Update... feature, you can download and apply the Mac OS X 10.5.2 Combo Update. Be sure to repair permissions before running the updater AND again after the restart that finishes the update.
    Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
    If you do not get the help you need here, perhaps you will get better responses from Logitech Support. They even offer telephone or email support and will surely be able to tell you if there are known issues with your system.
    If you have not searched or posted in the dedicated Logitech forum, you might find something helpful in threads like this one that include considerable input from other QC Ultra Vision users.
    Please let us know how it goes.
    Cheers,

  • MULTICASTING issues (video security devices)

    Hi all!!! Need some for help.
    I have on 6509 connected to a stack of 3750. I have one vlan for video security devices. The devices are connected on one of the switchs of the 3750 stack and that stack ate connected via an potchannel with 4 ethernet cables to the 6509.
    The video security devices work in multicast and my issue is:
    I'm watching the camera and see the bandwith she is taking - between 700Kb and 650Kb - but after 20 seconds the bandwith start to decrease until 0K and the camera frozen, after 3 seconds the bandwith start to grow automatcally - 20K, 30K, 35,,, 120 until 700K - after another 20 seconds or so start to decrease until frozen again. If I disconnect the 4 ethernet cables from the 6509 everything works fine, the the bandwith are between 750K- 660K without decreasing anymore. Just after I reconnect the port channel the issue reappears. This Video vlan is not routable, it's a layer 2 one.
    Any clue why the video devices start to malfunction as long the 6509 is connected. What does the 6509 to the multicast frame? Because if the 3750 is working on stand alone it works fine!!

  • My IOS 8 on IPhone 6 crashes so many times. 5-7 times per week. Help!!!

    since I got my iPhone 6, and even with updated version of iOS, I am experimenting so many  software bus: Frozen keyboard, phone conversation cut, camera frozen, navigation button blocked, screen frozen.  It happened 6 to 7 times a week.
    Temperature is not an issue I am using the phone inside  The office.
    Is it a software issue ? Is it a compatibility issue between phone and software ?
    very annoying. Very annoying.
    IOS 8.3 behaves like an old version of Windows... That's a standard !!
    Please help what I need to do

    Hi Go to settings iCloud check last backup when you charge iPhone it Automatically backs up to  iCloud over Your WiFi . Restore back to Factory Settings that will get rid of any bugs . Then after Restore use same Apple ID  & password then you will get all your Apps & Data  back . Cheers Brian

  • The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do?

    The front camera on my iPod touch 4th generation is frozen. I cannot use it. Updating software does not help. This started right after I bought it, new from BestBuy. What can I do? When i go to the camera, it is stuck on a black screen. the only way to use my camera is through other camera apps, but if I try to switch it to the front camera, it freezes again.

    If you still have the problem after retoring the iPOd to factory defaults/new iPod then The iPod is likely defective and replacement is required.  You can make an appoinment at the Genius Bar of an APple store or take it back to BestBuy if within warranty

  • IPhone 4 is overheating after seconds of use, brightness won't work, and front camera is frozen. Suggestions as what is wrong?

    So one day my front facing camera decided to just not work. I tried the restore and everything possible, it's just frozen.
    Luckily the other camera works. Last week, I woke in the morning and used my phone like normal and I noticed it was so hot. I let it sit and it cooled down and then went on my Facebook app, where not even a minute within use started to get extremely hot. My battery life has decreased significantly and my phone also gets extremely hot when charging. The weird this is that whenever I'm making a phone call, It doesn't get hot and my guess is because the screen goes dim. So i tried turning down the brightness on my phone which it became apparent that my brightness switch doesn't work either. I have tried a restore but to no avail..
    The fact that my phone is getting so hot so quick really scares me.Has anyone experienced anything similar? Even though the camera not working and the battery issue happened at different times, I thought I should bring it up in case they are in fact related. Thank you all so much.

    I happen to be experiencing then same problem again!
    I have followed all the steps and my phone will just not come right. I love my iPhone but I have no clue what is going on sometimes it will just freeze in the camera app and I have to restart my whole phone.
    I have downloaded another camera app to see if it would make any difference and it hasn't.
    Should I take it back to the service provider that I have my contract with and get them to send it in to apple? Because the phone is only 3 months old.
    Please Help me or advise me on what to do because I don't want to leave it and it causes more problems.

  • My iPad camera shutter is frozen. How do I fix it?

    The shutter on my camera is frozen and I cannot use take photos or video at all on my iPad.  I have tried resetting, all updates are current and still no fix.
    Does anyone have a solution please.

    If a reset doesn't work, you probably have a jammed shutter. Send it in for a check.
