Camera on back of my iPod Touch 4 has stopped working, what's happened?

The camera on the back of the iPod Touch 4G (The one on the silver metallic side) has stopped working completely. The front facing one still works.
Please help. I have had many problems with the iOS software, and I am getting frustrated!
Regards,
Alex.

Have you tried the standard fixes:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod via iTunes.  First from backup and if problems persist restore to factory defaults/new iPod
- If problem still occurs make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since you likely have a hardware problem.  If so, they will give you a replacement under your warranty.

    Turn VoiceOver on or off: Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver. You can also set Triple-click Home to turn VoiceOver on or off. See “Triple-click Home” on page 129.

    ipod touch has stopped working. the screen showes that it need to connect to power.

    Hey there our3goldens,
    It sounds like you are unable to successfully boot your iPod Touch. I would recommend these steps specifically from the following article, named:
    iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3281
    If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
    Let it charge for at least twenty minutes, then see if it starts normally.
    If there is no image on the screen, press the Sleep/Wake button to attempt to wake the device.
    If the screen displays a red battery icon, continue charging the device until the battery is fully charged. Learn more about charging iPhone and iPod touch, or iPad.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, or the if the screen remains black or shows a persistent Apple logo, try restoring with iTunes:
    Connect the device to your computer and open iTunes.
    If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane. Learn more aboutrestoring iOS software.
    If the device doesn't appear in iTunes, try to force the device into recovery mode, and then restore it.
    If the above steps do not resolve the issue, contact Apple.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • My ipod touch has stopped working and i bought alot of songs on it, how do i get them on itunes when i have newly downloaded it on my computer

    I was going to update the ipod touch to see if it would update the battery power, however it won't actually turn on now... and i have spent alot of money on songs and I want them back how can I get them?

    That's why it is recommended that you sync the device with iTunes regularly, to backup your content purchased on the mobile device.  iTunes music is purchased as a one time download, and it is up to the purchaser to make backups of their purchases.
    If you have not sync'd the iPod Touch and have no backup, and it won't even power up, I think you may just be out of luck.

  • The bluetooth on my iPod touch has stopped working

    I try to turn it on, but it just "thinks" and doesn't actually turn on. Only happening for the past week. I've reset my iPod and updated the software, but nothing has changed. Help anyone??

    Maybe:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem.
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    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..

  • My ipod touch has stopped being recognised by itunes following trying to download a book from audible.  It sees it as a camera

    Can anyone help me?  My ipod touch has stopped syncrinising with itunes following a download from audible.  It seems to be recognised as a camera.  The ipod sign dows not come up in the left hand side of itunes.

    I have now removed and re-installed every piece of Apple Software on my laptop. I assume this would result in the drivers being re-installed.
    However, when I plug the iPOD in a message comes up 'Installing Device Drivers'. Then a message comes up that they are installed successfully, but it does also say 'Searching folders for preconfigured drivers...'. After 10 mins I assumed this did not mean anything and closed the window.
    It is not convenient for me to check the other computer's drivers. Anyway, the iPOD used to work on this computer. The only thing I have done on this computer re device drivers is to start using a USB mouse (which installed drivers) and I also checked them all for updates. Only the Intel ones updated.
    Needless to say the iPOD is still unrecognised in iTunes.
    Any further help much appreciated.

  • HT201263 My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine, but when I went back the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. What should I do?

    My iPod touch suddenly stopped working. It was fine earlier, but when I went back a few hours later, the screen had gone black and I was unable to turn it on. It is now unresponsive and my computer does not recognize it when it is plugged in. I thought it just needed to be charged but there seems to be a larger issue now. What should I do?

    Let your ipod die. Then when it is dead charge it adn turn it back on. After that it should be fine.

    To give you something, I need something too, like
    How old is the Ipod? (if it is still under warranty, then send it to Apple service shop)
    Are you running Windows iTunes or Mac iTunes?
    What do you see on the iPod screen?
    My guess is, your iPod classic is more than 2 years old and out of warranty, and the hardisk has gone kaput! and need to be replaced.
    Have a nice day!
