Front video camera is not working on my iPad4.

Just recently noticed my front video camera not working when I tried to facetime with a friend.  They cannot see me, and a blank square comes up as our picture.  When I open facetime the screen is just black.  If I open the camera, then switch to video, then switch to front the shutter closes and never opens. 
I have tried to restart and also reboot.  Neither have worked.
Thanks.

Have you tried closing the Camera app via the taskbar and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • FaceTime Video camera is not working

    after updating my OS in Macbook Air, my Video camera is not working. pls suggest me about how to fix that and make video working.

    If restarting Mac does not fix, see How to Troubleshoot iSight - Apple Support.
    If needed, you could also try Reinstalling OS X.

  • Video/Camera light not working after upgrade to 975

    Hi,
    After I upgraded to the latest OS release from Verizon (v5.0.0.975) on my Tour, the light for both my video recorder or camera no longer work. I have done battery pulls and checked the options for each (both set to ON).
    I tried searching here first, but didn't find anything. However, a Google search shows posts on other forums about this issue.
    I contacted Verizon Support and the person was not able to help. She asked me to go into Options for my video camera and apparently some of the settings have also been removed. So, I asked her to please report this to RIM Support. She mentioned downgrading my OS, which I had already considered. But, since this OS seems stable and I don't use my cameras that much, I'll ride it out for now.
    If anyone else is having the same problem, I would encourage you to contact your carriers support and report this. Hopefully RIM will have a fix for this available soon.
    Thanks,
    RayK

  • I upgrade my iph4 to ios 7.1.2 and the microphone is not working on video camera, is not working anymor also the microfon on speaker mode, please help me

    Hy guys, i upgrade my ios 7.1.1 to 7.1.2 and now iths not working anymore my microphone on video record, the camera is working , is recording but without sound, and also the microphone on speaker, when i activat the speaker the microphon is not working. I do a full reset on my iph but still not working , also my girlfriend have same problem.Please help me, thx.

    To rule out a software issue, try to set it up as new device, without using the latest backup, explained in this article:
    How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    If this does not help, the problem might be hardware related and the phone needs to be serviced by Apple or an Authorized Apple Service Provider:

  • My front facing camera is not working. How can I get it to work again?

    My back camera works just fine but when I switch it over to the front facing camera it just freezes and never switches then takes awhile to switch back over. It first started in the Snapchat App but now my actual camera App is doing it.

    Hi Evie ray,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.  Some good first things to try are forcing any camera-using apps to close, and then restarting and resetting:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
    iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

  • Video camera does not work firefox 8.0.1 with google chat

    I have a macbook pro os x 10.7.2 . I have the latest google video plugins ....also I removed and tried reinstalling the plugin for video chat. I have a built in camera. So when I go to google/mail settings, and check my settings, I cant see myself in the video box. If I video chat with someone else, they can see me, but I cant see myself.
    If I use Safari or google crome for my browser, google video chat works great. I can see myself and see the person I am video chatting with.
    So, I think it's a problem with the Firefox browser. I am using 8.0.1
    thanks
    Walt

    You can [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Uninstalling%20Firefox?s=uninstall+firefox&r=0&as=s uninstall] Firefox 8 first before you downgrade to Firefox 7. However, when you uninstall, make sure that you '''don't''' choose the option "'''Remove my Firefox Personal Data'''".
    You can access a list of [ftp://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/ Previous Versions of Firefox], however, note that Firefox recommends using the latest version since older version may have security and safety vulnerabilities.
    '''P.S:''' it may be a good idea to create a Restore Point before you uninstall, in case you mess up, in which case you can just restore and start over.

  • Camera App - Not Working "error.4003"

    I am receiving the error.4003 for the camera app. This affects both camera and video modes. The front facing camera does not work through the camera app, but works fine if used via the video chat app. This appears to be a software error as the touch screen interface controls in the camera app are not completely functional or have a severe response time lag as compared to normal touch screen response time.
    Apparently worked fine a month ago. Pictures taken looked great. 
    At first the error message received on the camera app stated camera was already in use. Not the error above is all I get. 
    I've done research via the Web and the only responses thus far is to send this into RIM. But too many people are experiencing this error and the posted ideas on other forums are either questionable or IMO not acceptable. 
    Also the screen capture cameramode works fine. No problems.

    From everything I hear 4003 is a "hardware" malfunction.
    It happened to me as well right AFTER the 1032 OS upgrade - how's that possible>?
    Probably blows a resister or something.
    I had warranty left -and got a brand new Playbook in return this week. The turnaround took only a few days by FedEx.
    Why so fast? It can't be fixed - so they're just tossing the old ones and replacing them.
    I received a brand new identical model (32g) - however it wanted to go to the 1032 upgrade step during intial setup.
    i was hoping to avoid that. Did it anyway - no choice.
    Happy to report - cameras are both working.
    NO explanation of the hardware fault by RIM - what it is or what causes it.
    If you have warranty - just call support. They're breaking it somehow - it's not YOU!
    Get it replaced before your warranty runs out.

  • Front Facing Camera Refuses To Work Since Upgrade To Ios7

    Since I have upgraded to ios 7, for what ever reason my front facing camera will not work. Regardless of this been tried on the camera App or Facetime. When I switch to it, it just blurs the screen and hangs. Nothing else happens. Is anyone else having this same problem since upgrading? And if so has anyone got a solution to this?
    Many Thanks
    Luke.

    hello all,
    I can confirm the same behaviour with an iPhone 4S, white, 64GB. We own 3 iPhone 4S in our family. 2 of them work flawlessly after the update to iOS7. The only visible difference is the white colour. With the white iPhone 4S we cannot use the front camera any longer. The camera app freezes, switch back to the rear side camera only works, after removing the camera app from the multitasking pane. Reinstalling with iTunes or via DFU mode or via settings-general-reset-contents&settings didn't help. A staff member of an Apple retail shop tried again, but again without success. We both agreed that it must be a software issue. All apps using the front camera (Facetime, Tango, Skype Camera+ etc.) do not work.
    The front camera worked well before upgrading to iOS 7.
    But 2 other iPhone 4S working without a problem even with the identical iOS 7 leads me to the question if Apple used different camera modells or even different suppliers for the front camera for production of the iPhone 4S. My only  explanation from an engineering point of view is that there were different cameras used in production and one of it now has a problem to connect correctly to the iOS 7, which indicates in this case a driver problem.
    2 possible solutions:
    wait until Apple releases a new version of the iOS which hopefully also covers this problem.
    let the front camera replace in a repair shop which will cost between 49 and 69 EUR (this morning I have investigated into some Internet shops offering this service)
    Cheers, Claus
