Face Time Rear Camera

When I am using the Face Time feature, I hit the back camera button and it does not show on the front of my phone what the back camera is seeing. Also, when the other person hits their back camera, I see a frozen front picture but they can see their back camera working. I hope this makes sense and saves me a trip to the Genius Bar.

Phone had defective hardware and was replaced.

  • Face Time Camera Freezes

    My wife and I received our new phones today. When we tried using the Face Time, the front camera (the one that is next to the earpeice) worked fine, but when I switched to the rear camera, the image that was displaying on her screen froze. In the little window on my screen, I saw what the rear camera was seeing, but it just wasn't transferring to my wife's phone. When she switched her phone to the rear camera, the image showed up on my phone fine.
    I have verified that my rear camera on the phone works, I can take pictures with it and I can take videos with it. It just doesn't work on Face Time.
    Any ideas?
    Cliff notes: If I switch my phone to the rear camera for face time, the video isn't transferred to my wife's phone.

    My issue has been resolved. On my wife's phone (my image would freeze on her screen when I switched to rear camera)
    1. Select Settings
    2. Select Phone
    3. Turn Face Time off
    4. Turn Face time on
    At this point, her phone said, "Waiting for activation" under the Face Time switch though it may have said it after step 2, I didn't pay attention to it.
    5. Reboot phone
    After starting up, face time worked. I did turn Face Time off and back on again on my phone, but I'm not sure if that did anything to help out.

  • Why my macbook air camera not working? Neither Photo Booth nor Face time.

    I have not been able to use Face Time, Photo Booth and Skype as the camera of my Macbook air is not responding? Any solution guys? Will appreciate the answers from the people who have experienced this problem and have solved it successfully.

    I had this same problem, and the way i have resolved it was by doing a back up for the Time Machine. Hadn't done that in 190 days and after I did it my camera work after a sleep for the first time in months.

  • I can get the camera working for Skype but face time is fine ??

    Hi
    I ahve a brand new 13" pro retina mac book and all of a sudden my skype wont activate the camera the green light doesn't go on but it works fine for face time so its not a hardware issue. I have checked the photobooth and face time is off so not sure is this an apple thing or a skype thing?

    Try this:
    Make sure that you have quit Skype.
    With Finder active, hold the Option key down and click on Go in the menu bar.
    In the drop down list select Library.
    Scroll through the library folder to the Preferences folder.
    Open it, and look for this file: com.skype.skype.plist.
    Trash that file.
    Now try Skype.

  • Video recording - why can't I switch cams like face time?

    I do interviews and video blogs and I would like to be able to setup a clip with the camera facing me and then switch to camera on back to let subject speak. If you can do it with face time, PLEASE put in a fix so I can do it while recording.
    I would really like the option to switch back and forth between cameras while recording video (like face time).
    Also, is there no way to upload HD videos from the phone after editing in iMovie?

    @OP
    You know, if something is not working for you, doesn't mean that that's the way it's done. Also, Google is amazing.
    Video recording DOES work with the front and back camera.
    If yours does not, restart your phone, restore as new, or go to an Apple store.
    Also, at the present moment, the iPhone does NOT support uploading directly in HD. The only current way is to put it on your computer and upload it from there.

  • Issue with Apple Camera VendorID_0x106B ProductID_0x1570 green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time

    Green light blinks continually...camera does not work in photo booth or face time.Any suggestions?

    Hi Rogerya,
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. It sounds like you may be experiencing issues with the built-in FaceTime camera (also known as iSight) on your MacBook Air. The following resource provides relevant troubleshooting information that you can try:
    How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support
    https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT2090
    Important: Follow these instructions in order. Test the camera between steps to see if the issue is resolved.
    Built-in iSight cameras
    These steps are for iSight cameras that are built into a computer, such as the iMac G5 (iSight) or later, the MacBook, or MacBook Pro.
    1. See if the issue is application-specific.
    Try another application (iSight works with applications like iChat, PhotoBooth, and iMovie HD 6) to see if the iSight camera exhibits the same behavior in all applications. If it only happens in one application, try reinstalling that application.
    2. See if the issue is user-specific.
    Test your iSight camera in another user account. If the issue only occurs in one user, the issue would be isolated to user settings.
    3. Find out if the computer recognizes the iSight
    Check System Profiler (in the Utilities folder, inside the Applications folder). Under the USB header, check to see if the iSight camera is detected.
    4. Reset SMC or PMU
    Reset your computer's SMC or PMU, and then check System Profiler again. (SMC reset instructions for iMac G5 (iSight), Intel-based iMacs; PMU reset instructions for MacBook and MacBook Pro.)
    If your built-in iSight camera is still not behaving correctly after trying all these steps, you may need to contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.

  • How can i change the setting for audio-video for my face time to built in only so i can have my skype camera ?

    Good evening,
    The last few days my I lost the ability on Skype to be seen by the other party ... I can see them but they cannot see me. At the same time my Face Time sent me some messages error.
    When I open my Skype and go to Preference and go to audio/video I see my image ... and when I go back to make a call the camera is off (no light). When I look at the bottom where I can have a drop  down arrow I have Face Time (built in).
    On my other Macpro  (that work well) I have at the same place  built-in only.
    Cannot change anything on my MacBook air ... no drop in.
    Please Help and thank you !

    There are no settings for video resolution or frame rate.

  • My face time camera won't work

    When I click on my camera and I try to switch to my face time camera it shows like it's going to switch but then the camera just goes back and I can't switch it to the other camera for a while. It's been like this for a while and I don't know what to do about it. I'm not sure what make it happen either. There is no crack in it or anything. One day I just tried to switch it to that camera and it just did the thing where it looks like it's switching but makes the camera screen black.

    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.
    - 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: 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.

  • HT1941 why i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

    whi i cannot use my web cam using yahoo messenger and face time?

    PwmBoat,
    This made me smile, because things like this do make me smile...  I never make videos on YouCam, but I did this time, so I could test this one out.
    You did not say what webcam software you are using...
    ======================================================================
     Video and audio recording works on YouCam V3.5.1.4606
    Make sure you have turned on a working microphone in Settings:
    YouCam > Right-Side   Settings >
    Right-Side, Lower-Right, Select a working Microphone from the Drop down list
    AND
    CHECK "Capture with audio"
    OK
    You can also buy (for $38 US) YouCam 5.0 from the Cyberlink.com website and it has audio/video and all sorts of other goodies, too.  (They have 3.x as well, but why buy what HP already gives you?)
    ==========================================================================
    I hope this helps!

  • HT201177 My Face time device is working, but I can't make a Skype video call. How do I connect the camera when I am on a Skype video call?

    My built in Face time device is working, the green light on top of my iMac is on, but when I make a Skype video call the other party cannot see me, even I can see them. How do I connect the built in camera to my video Skype call? Thanks for your help, Helmut

    Assuming you have set up your Preferences correctly in Skype, sometimes Skype doesn't seem to automatically trigger the camera. When that happens just click on the camera icon that appears at the bottom of the screen when making a call:

  • Face time, camera icons wiped out of my ipad. I was watching while it was happening

    Face time, camera icons wiped out of my ipad. I was watching while it was happening..

    That's hard to explain but I would check Settings>General>Restrictions>FaceTime (and camera) and see if they are set to "off". If they are set to off, turn them on again.

  • TS2634 how do you reconnect accessories such as itunes, app store, safari, camera, face time, etc

    My son's friend used his ipod and now he is missing certain accessories such as itunes, app store, safari, camera, face time, etc.  How do we get these back?

    If they were on the iPod before then there are two possibilities:
    - They were moved to a screen where you just can't find the. Have you tried using the Spotlight search to find them?
    - They are hidden by Restrictions. Go to Settings>General>Restrictions. It is passcode protected, it you do not know the passcode you have to :
    - Restore the iPod from a backup that does not contain the Restrictions, or
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
