Front camera on ipod stopped working

Okay, so my ipod 5 was working perfectly fine and I was on snapchat and it glitched out (as you know apps do) and when I got back into it I noticed there was no switch to the front camera, and the back camera worked fine. After that I went to my normal camera and found that the back camera stilled worked on this but the front camera didn't and I couldn't switch back to the back camera afterwards (like it froze). My question is DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW I CAN FIX THIS AND IF THEY KNOW HOW MUCH IT MIGHT COST!?! I have tried a bunch of different stuff like resetting it and doing a hard reset and it's still not working. Please help if you can and thanks so much!

My iPod stopped working with the USB in my car but still works on it's own. Any suggestions?

Read the car user manual and/or contact the car dealership.

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems: my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normal. my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems:
_ my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normally
_ my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines(as perhaps electrical problems). The phone did fell and I already changed its back and front but everything was normal until these problems appeared suddenly
Please can somebody help me to solve it and tell me what are the reasons?
Thx

you can try turning it off and on again, but i doubt that's gonna work, that sounds like more of a hardware issue. Your best bet may be to contact apple and seek service or replacement

Ipod stopped working with iTrip

My iPod stopped working with my iTrip very mysteriously. I left it in the car for 2 hours (as I always do at work) and it worked when I left and wouldn't work when I went to drive home. I've replaced the iTrip and know that it works with another iPod (identical to mine and bought at the exact same time).
Does anyone know if there's way to fix this?

I just started having issues with my iPod as well. It is paired with my JVC receiver through an iPod adapter. I can normally control my iPod through the JVC once it is connected, but the last few days I have had to control it through the iPod itself. The screen on the receiver says connecting, but never does unless I do manually.( pressing play on the iPod). I can still see song titles, but no control. IE pause, next or previous songs. Nothing seems to work, and have treid powering both off then back on. Is this an update issue that wont let them pair anymore? I also tried a friends iphone and seemed to work fine with the JVC, so the receiver is not the issue.

5th Gen ipod stopped working , connected to Alpine CDA117

Out of nowhere the ipod stopped working when hooked directly to the Alpine CDA117.
It worked this morning when I pulled out of the driveway and drove to my shop . I did not unplug it when I arrived, it stayed in the car hooked up as it does often.
When I got back in the car about 2 hours later it was not working . It recognizes the ipod , shows the song , playlist etc but no volume and it's not "playing" so it's sort of on "pause", but not showing that it really is "paused"
Apple looked at it , thought there might be some dust on the contacts , cleaned it , tried it in the store and it worked fine both with earbuds and through speakers.
It works in my wife's car via the same hookup.
My wife's ipod works in my car hooked up just as mine would be .
The guy at Best Buy who hooked it up , hooked his up and his worked fine.
Firmware is up to date .
I literally did nothing to it once I arrived and my shop and then got back in the car 2 hours later.
Help me !
I have a 3 hour ride up to the Berkshires on Saturday and will go bonkers without my music .

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Camera RAW has stopped working - says requires that a qualifying product has been opened at least once. I am a fully up to date CC 2015 subscriber. It was working fine previously.

Camera RAW has stopped working. Says CR editing is not enabled. Requires a qualifying product opened at least once. PC CC, Bridge and Lightromm all work.

We're only up to CC 2014 right now.
Are you using Bridge to open up the RAW?

My camera connection kit stopped working after I upgraded to ios5

My camera connection kit stopped working after I upgraded to ios5. If I plug it in to my iphone I get a message saying it is not recognised, but when I plug it into the ipad it does nothing at all. I've tried resetting it, but that makes no difference.
I have an ipad 1 which I bought because it had lots of storage. I'm going on holiday soon, and I want to be able to upload my holiday photos to my ipad while I'm away.
Any suggestions?

Actually this sounds the same problem I have on my iPad2.
I use a cheap copy of the CCK which I got off eBay.
It worked great when fitted with a 16gb SD card, but since I upgraded to 5.01 it has stopped working.
Sorry, no solution at this point but it worked on 4.3.3 but not on 5.01.
I'll keep on looking, was considering a proper CCK thinking the cheapmversion may be drawing too much current, but it sounds like that might not work either.

Why did my camera connection kit stop working after updating to iOS 6.0.1?

Camera connection kit stopped working on ios6.01 updated phone. Same camera kit works on the iPhone that I did not update. Why does it not work with 6.0.1?

The same story. No 3G after updating to 6.1. Told my daughter temporarily not to do an update on her iPad with 6.01. We've exchanged SIMs. I inserted her SIM in my iPad - 3G appeared immediately. And my SIM in her iPad with ios 6.01 also WORKS FINE. We use the same provider - Megafon Moscow. After attempting to revert SIMs to original configuration, 3G disappeared on my iPad again. Don't know what's going on with SIM during the update to 6.1

My iPod stop working....

My iPod stop working...
I load my pictures in and now my screen shows only red letters and nothing else!!!
what should I do?
pachy

I did try that by doing everything the manual book said:
1. connect iPod to a power outlet using the iPod Power adapter (I did)
2. Toggle the hold switch on and off...yes I did turn on and off and on and off..
3. press and hold the select and menu buttons..for at least 6 seconds (I did 1 min and nothing happened still) until the apple logo appears.
Besides the software failure, the power is still on ... and I CAN'T TURN IT OFF neither!!!!!
what other alternate tips or troubleshooting ...are there that will solve this problem? Thank you
Do I really need to make an appointment and go down to Genius BAR?
Thank you again and please help me

My ipod stopped working a few years ago, it said i had to connect to itunes to restore, as i then got an iphone i never bothered to sort it, I am now trying to and hwne i connect to itunes it says it must be restored, After ive restored it nothing happens, at first it says "ipod has been restored and is restarting, it will appear in the itunes window once it has restarted" so i wait but nothing happens and eventually it comes up with the same message telling me the ipod needs to be restored?

Errors when updating leads to corrupt system files and this may be your problem. If you're using windows, connect your device to PC and run any third party app like Syncios. If it detects, you maybe in luck and try to back-up your data if possible. I hope that it won't and if doesn't, there is no other way to recover files. You should be restoring with iTunes and all data will be erased, or else your device may become unusable.

When i change the camera the app stop working ?

I have a problem with my i pad ! When i change the camera to the front the app stop working ! How i can solve this problem ?

Try closing the camera app and reset your iPad. See if that fixes the issue for you.
Closing apps in iOS 7 works like this. Drag the app up from the multitasking display. Double tap the home button and you will see apps lined up going left to right across the screen. Swipe to get to the app that you want to close and then swipe "up" on the app preview thumbnail to close it.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

My rear camera will not focus on my iPhone 6plus, I updated to 8.2 today to see if it fixed it but it didn't, what is the reason for my camera to just stop working?

My camera doesn't focus anymore, I didn't drop it or get it wet either. The front camera still works like it should. I even updated my phone to 8.2 today and still it didn't fix the problem.

Hello Jeremy76504,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you are having an issue with the camera on your iPhone not focusing as you would expect. In this situation, I would recommend reading over and working through the troubleshooting steps in the attached article.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Your photos are blurred or out of focus
If your photos are blurred, out of focus, or have dark spots, try these steps:
Make sure that the camera lens is clean. If you need to clean the lens, use a microfiber cloth. If you see dirt or debris inside the lens, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
With iPhone 6 Plus, a metallic case or magnetic lens could interfere with optical image stabilization. If you have a metallic case or magnetic lens attachment, try taking a picture without it. Then compare the quality.
Adjust the focus by tapping on the person or object in the preview screen. You’ll see the screen pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as the camera adjusts. In photo mode, try to stay steady when adjusting the focus. If you move too far in any direction, the camera will automatically refocus to the center. In video mode, you can adjust the focus before you begin recording.
If the color seems too bright, or you see double-exposures of moving objects, make sure that HDR is set to Auto or Off. Tap HDR at the top of the screen to choose a different setting.
Have a great day,
Joe

In the future it is best to stay up to date and not wait year to update - either update soon after releases ro stay with the software you have and like - waiting years and then upgrading is not a good idea
Yeah, those of us who use macs for paid work must wait until our 3rd-party software vendors upgrade before we can upgrade. There are only two ways to solve this problem,
If Apple were to stop actively sabotaging their customers' work; or
if I were to migrate my employer to Windows.
Only the second option is even marginally within my control...
(Keeping my employer on os x is getting harder and harder as Apple drives the 3rd-party software developers out of the market, and breaks the software of the dwindling customers -- end users and 3rd-party developers -- who remain.)
Anyway, thanks for the pointers. I am going to see if I can track down iPhoto 9 on one of the mavericks machines I set up last fall.

Hi all,
Downloaded itunes 7 and my ipod has stopped working. every time i connect the ipod it crashes my laptop. sometimes the laptop recovers so i restore the ipod but the music keeps skiping etc. ipod does make some strange sounds when running. has the ipod come to its end of life? Oh i have the ipod 4G.
Thanks to anyone who responds.

I had the same problem- same iPod. I had to restore the iPod.
What actually fixed it was iTunes 7.02 update.
Have you had a 1418 error? There's a technote for that problem now.
