Iphone 6 back and front cameras aren't working!!

Hello,
I using the iphone 6 since two months ago and today i noted the back (and front) camera isn´t working. The ecrã becomes black, when i try to photograph the app closes. I heard that the iOS could be damaged and I updated the system to 8.2 (the brand new one!!) but the camera is on the same status. Is it posible to change the iphone at apple store? Is it a hardware problem?
Tks in advance with the help

To make sure that this is not software related, set it back to factory settings, without using any backup data afterwards. Set up the rest of the personal settings manually and test the camera. If it still does not work, this is a hardware issue and the phone has to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider. This should be no problem since the phone is still under warranty.

Camera aren't working, can't take pictures:(

so when i try to open my camera app, then it either wont open or it wil work for a short period of time and then it will start to act wierd and lack and make funny colors:( restarting and reset doesnt help! and my warranty is gone...

Your last bets are
Restore from backup using iTunes
Restore as new (if the backup is no good)

Camera doesn't work in FaceTime

When Face-timing, my camera doesn't work (I have no image of myself). The box is there, but it is always black (i.e., the person I am face-timing can't see me).
The camera works fine outside of FaceTime.
I just reset the IPod touch and now the camera on the opposite side of the screen works, but not the screen side. Also, the Non Screen side camera tends to freeze.
Thoughts?
IPod Touch iOS 8.1.2
Thanks for any help.

I do not know what you mean by reset. Try the following if you have not done so already:
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working.

Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working. I had the screen replaced about a month ago and it was working fine. I woke up the other day and went on my camera and it had stopped working, it won't let me change from the front to back camera so i don't know what the problem is: now all it shows when i go on the camera app is the shutter or a black screen. I have tried the advice people have said but it hasn't seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated!

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
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.

However, it other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider did the previous screen replacement , Apple will not help.
For the future, saying that you tried the advice people have said, provides us with zero information as to what yu tried.

Earbuds aren't working again with phone

hello, once again my earbuds aren't working with my phone. this was happening last weekend. i tried various headphone with phone to no avail but they and the original iphone earbuds worked just fine with computer. monday i took to phone to apple store and they restored phone and buds worked fine. came home setup as new phone, put everything back on it and worked for a bit and once again not working. I'm wondering if they aren't working because of the latest software version (5.1.1) because they were working fine before then.
Anyone having a problem? I can't afford a new phone at this time.

if when you restore and it works that means it is software related when you then restore from a back up you just took all the soft ware that was on the phone and put it back. meaning what ever cause it not work is now back on your phone causeing it not to work agian. In situation like this its not 100% that you can use your back up because what ever cause the issuse may be on that back up

Do a simple reboot on the BlackBerry in this manner: With the BlackBerry device POWERED ON, remove the battery for a minute, and then reinsert the battery to reboot. A reboot in this manner is prescribed for most glitches and operating system errors, and you will lose no data on the device doing this.

My front and back camera won't work, and my flash will not either.

I took some picture in the rain, my iPod 5th gen wasn't affected, then my iPod was dropped in a parking lot and found later. Other than that, nothing has really happened to it, but both the front and back camera do not work. When I open up a camera, it's just black. The flash doesn't work either. Can anyone help me?

My camera doesn't work + it doesn't recognize external cameras. what's the problem here?

I set up a new windows 7 version for my laptop (probook 4510s) & the camera doesn't work + it doesn't recognize any external camera. So how to fix my camera & get it back to work?

What kind of external camera is this? I am assuming it is a USB camera? Make sure that you aren't using any USB hubs. Also try connecting it to another USB port. Have you installed the drivers from the camera manufacturer yet?
Thanks,
Sean

My camera doesn't work in messages, only shows black screen. Iphone6

I push the camera button in messages app, and I want to take a picture, but it only shows a black screen. camera still works in camera app. What do I need to do?

Hello there, Markcollinshale.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great steps for troubleshooting issues with iOS not functioning as expected, which should help in resolving your issue with the camera in Messages:
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If there is no video or if the screen remains black, verify that the device has enough charge to turn on:
If you are using an iPad, ensure that it's connected to the USB Power Adapter supplied with the 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 about restoring 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.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.
