Cannot use front camera on my iPod!

Every time, I switch from the back camera to the front, the Camera app freezes and doesn't display the front camera.
How can I be able to use my front camera? I can't send it in for repair.
What I've tried:
-Soft Reset
-Hard Reset
-Factory Restore
-Closing/Reopening the app
-Rebooting
...and I still can't use it.
I don't want to take pictures of myself with a mirror; those are ********.

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

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

Why cannot I take unflipped selfie picture using front camera in IOS 8?

Why cannot I take unflipped selfie picture using front camera in IOS 8? In IOS 7, I can do that.

I misunderstood your question. By load I thought you meant from the time you take the picture to how long it takes to appear in Photos.. I have no problems with a delay when I want to view photos already in the photos app. If this makes any difference I'm using the new iCloud photo Library but still keep full copies of the photos on the device.

The front camera on my iPod 5 is not opening

The front camera on my iPod 5 is not working and I have had this problem for a LONG time. When I try to open my front camera, it freezes and does not work. this also happens when I try to use the front camera on apps like Instagram and snap chat. I had this problem before ios7. I've tried a lot of things I tried restarting my iPod, but that didn't work. I've also tried to back-up and restore my iPod on the computer and on the device, but that didn't work. I waited for ios7 to come out because I thought that maybe the camera would start working again if I updated, but I was still having the same problem after the update. it's getting really frustrating because I try to video chat my friends but they can't see me cause the camera won't work! what do I do? I don't think it's a hardware problem because I googled this before and a LOT of people seem to have the exact same problem
here are some additional details that might help:
-this problem started since the 2nd day I had my iPod
-the back camera works just fine
-I did everything except restoring it to factory settings
-I haven't taken it to the Apple store
what do I do? should I restore it to factory settings? will all my music and pictures get deleted if I restore it to factory settings?

Since you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Can I use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime?

I have been trying to use the camera on my iPod Touch with FaceTime. Will it work? How do I sign in? When I click on Preferences the preferences window does not appear, and preferences in the drop down menu becomes greyed out. I am using an older Apple Cinema Display. Also Apple doesn't show the iSight camera for sale on the website.

Hello Chris
Pairing an iPod touch to the computer to use the camera is not supported, but you can use any webcam that can be plugged into the computer.

Cannot use isight camera with Windows 7 x32 on Macbook mid-2009

Very very weird,
it worked until bootcamp was upgraded mid next year.
I have been looking for a solution siunce then.
Wife is using the notebook and she is mad every time she is answering call from Skype or MSN Messenger she needs to reboot into Lion.
She uses Windows 7 x32 on bootcamp most of the time yet she cannot use the camera.
The camera shows grey and freezes wiuth busy mouse cursor.
booting intro Lion works so it is something with the drivers.
Can anyone help?
I have looking for months already and I did not see solutions...
Andrea

Issue Fixed.
BootCamp 3.2 - 3.3 breaks the functionality with Windows 7 at the latest patch level.
The fix has been:
upgrading OSX to Lion
Patch to latest release
Go To Boot Camp Assistant
Download Windows Support Files to Jump Drive (second option I believe it is)
Reboot into Windows 7
Run Setup - BootCamp 4.0 will install
Reboot
Launch Skype or MSN Messenger - ISight will magically work again!

Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

Does anyone face BlackScreen on Whatsapp if using front camera on your Iphone 6 plus Ios 8.0.2?

Hi,
I'm having also having game sound issues the game music and sounds just go completely quiet in iOS 8.1. Sometimes it'll just be completely quiet and others I'll have game music and sounds and partway through the game I'll lose audio. It's not the side lock/mute button either which I checked.
It's happening in two different games: Shadowgun:Deadzone and Modern Combat 5.
I have that side button above the volume set to toggle mute and I tried changing it to lock rotation instead to see if that made a difference which it did not. I have to kill the game and relaunch it to get the game audio working again.

I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved

I'm using iphone 4s, whenever i take a photo using front camera mirror view of the image is NOT saved. i.e, left becomes right & vice versa. To elaborate if you take a photo with your left hand index finger on your left chin it shows up as though i'm holding my right hand index finger on my right chin. This was not the case initially, i suspect this happened after photoshop app. was installled. Can someone assist?

Ok!! After checking couple of my friends phone i realise this is BY design!!.. i still don't understand the logic behind this though.Nevertheless this ain't a bug!!!

Your iPod is probably covered by the warranty. Check here:
Apple - Support - Check Your Service and Support Coverage
However, it does not cover misuse such as caused by dropping the iPod.
- Try resetting 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.
- See if placing the iPod in recovery will allow iTunes to see the iPod so you can restore the iPod. For recovery mode see:
iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore

Front camera on my iPod 5 gen doesn't work!! Help?

Pretty much ever since I updated to iOS 7.0.3, it stopped working one day. When I try to use the Camera app, the back camera works but when I want to switch it so I can see myself, it freezes and stays black. If I use other photo apps like Instagram or Snapchat and try to take a pic using the front camera the switching option to switch between them just isn't there, it doesn't display as if the front camera doesn't exist.
I doubt it's a hardware problem as there's NOTHING wrong with the cam itself but it is in fact the software. What can I do? I tried resetting all settings but that didn't help. I don't want to erase all content though as I don't know how to use the backup programs like icloud or time machine or whatever.. and it might not even work, would make me even more angry.

- Backup and restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- 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. Based on other posts i this forum I supcg a hardware problem

My Windows XP computer becomes extremely slow when I try using iTunes. It cannot connect to iTunes Store. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling iTunes but nothing changes. I cannot use iTunes or sync my iPod anymore. Please help.

I cannot use iTunes anymore. My computer becomes extremely slow or just freezes. I notice the problem started after I updated iTunes to a new version. I have tried uninstalling iTunes completely from my computer and installing it back, but problem continues. We iTunes launches, it tries to connect to iTunes store, but it doesn't seem to be able to do that either. I can't sync my iPod or play back my music, please help.

With those symptoms, I'd try the following document:
Apple software on Windows: May see performance issues and blank iTunes Store
(If there's a SpeedBit LSP showing up in Autoruns, it's usually best to just uninstall your SpeedBit Video Accelerator.)

HT201365 Having uploaded iOS 7 I now cannot use my camera in video mode....any suggestions please?

Any suggestions gratefully received. I now have ios7 on my iPad 2 but cannot use video mode when using the camera.

http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430Hello Grant1972,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities!
I would suggest a couple things here.
First, close all the apps that are open:
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
From: iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Then restart your iPhone and try again.
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If that does not fix the issue, reset the phone and try again
Resetting your device
If your device stops responding, you can reset it by pressing and holding both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If the issue still persists, then I would backup and restore the phone in iTunes.

Webcam using front Camera

Hi, As Nokia n9 is the latest Smart Phone.. nay body has idea to make the front camera as webcam while chating with Yahoo or MSN. With Laptop or Desktop thru IP address this mobile can be the wireless Webcam but if possible to make with in the device.
Thanks in the advance.

AS nokia says:
E66 - the front camera can make video call and the phone will find the 3G setting automatic without clicking any button.
But out of my own experience i have also not been able to make/use the front camera/ inside camera both for my E66 and E90 .......
Hope nokia comes out with a solution
