Has anyone with a version 4 had the front camera stop working?

Has anyone with a version 4 iPad had the front camera stop working? If so how did you get it to work again?

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPad shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"
If you have an iPad 4 it is still under warranty. If the front camera is still not working call Apple Support for replacement.

    Hi there Fgonzalez2015,
    You may find the camera troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.
    Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    You see a closed lens or black screen
    If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
    Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
    Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
    Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
    If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping the camera swap icon . If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.

  • One day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    i installed ios 7.after  that my primary cam, one day it just stopped focusing and the pictures are blurry.  If I switch it to the front camera it works well and looks like it should but when I turn it back it goes back to being out of focus and I can't figure out how to fix it?

    This advice will sound like a joke or prank, but believe me it worked on my iPhone 5 and my daughter's.  The lens mechanism got stock on each of our iPhones.  We found a post on these message boards that said to hold the iPhone about 6 inches above a table or counter top and drop it so that it lands flat on it's back.  Now try the camera ...Fixed!  It has been more than six months now and neither of our iPhones have ever experienced the problem again. 

  • My iPhone's speaker next to the frontal camera stopped working what can I do?

    So since today my frontal speaker next to the frontal camera stopped working and I've been having problems where when I open the camera it reboots I just haven't had time to restore to fix the corrupted file could this be responsible for my speaker not working? I have to use the loud speaker to make a phone call or I won't hear anything if I don't restore will this cause permanent damage to my phone? Plead help! Thanks!

        Hello tmsipos11! That certainly sounds like an aggravating thing to occur! At this point, I recommend making sure that your iPhone 4s has the most recent software. The next upgrade is available now! If you've done so and yet still have this problem, please let me know!

  • My iPod touch's(4th gen, iOs 5) front camera stopped working. Why? And how can I fix it?

    I can't use it on the regular camera, CamWow, instagram, twitter or anything else that involves a camera. And it's only the front camera. I can use the back camera on instagram. Anyway, all of my apps/cameras are all on the front camera and the little button to change it from front to back isn't on it. So I can't use my back camera either. It just randomly stopped working on friday and I don't know why. I've tried turning my iPod on and off but that doesn't work. So please help?

    Try:
    - Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iPod touch: 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
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • My iPad2 front camera stopped working. How can I fix it?

    Hi everyone. I'm really terrified. After 2 long months waiting for my uncle to come from US with my new iPad2 I got it last week. The problem is that today I used the camera but the front one suddenly stopped working and now it's all dark and like freezes when your try no use the PhotoBooth. I'm from Ecuador, so I don't know if I can take any help from here but my hope is the guarantee, it has just A WEEK and is already in a bad condition? PLEASE help =( Thanks a lot for your atention

    DreamVerso-
    You can try rebooting.  Hold down both the Home and Sleep buttons for several seconds until the Apple logo appears.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" arrow.  It takes a minute or two for the iPad to restart.
    I'm sure a defect such as this would be covered by warrantee.  Are there any Apple company stores in your area?  They would be the best to advise you if they can replace it, or if it has to be returned to the US.

  • Every time i plug in a USB mouse, the isight camera stops working

    The problem is that whenever i plug in a USB mouse to say, game, the Isight camera is disabled and is "being used by another applcation" and this problem continues until i log off and back on or i restart. I am running a apple magic mouse for other uses and is normally still connected when this happens, but i tried disabling it first and plugging in the mouse and same issue happens again. any help?

    I also figured out that if i plug in some combination of things, such as the mouse and an ipod, the camera comes back. any ideas?

  • Has anyone with an Intel Core Duo got lm_sensors to work?

    I keep getting a message about no sensors being found.  I've followed the wiki, but I just can't seem to get it to work for my Core Duo.
    If you have got it to work, can you please let me know which modules sensors-detect told you to load?

    I have it working on my new system.
    I tried to just build the driver for beyond but it would not work so I found a patch and rebuilt the kernel.  An updated patch has now been sent to iph for inclusion in -beyond.
    I then built lm_sensors-svn from the AUR and low and behold:

  • The front Camera in N73

    I have sony K800 and Nokia N73 the front Camera in sony is much better than the front camera in the N73, the front camera in N73 it always gives distortion pic with small red dots, In sony K800i the back camera in snap shot is better than N73 but in N73 the video capture is better, the sound in N73 is better than K800.
    Does anyone know how to get the front camera in the N73 much better? it is sucks in video call
    All over N73 is better but it will be much better if the quality of the front camera can increased

    IIm afraid we have to put up with that camera in the N73.
    There is no better camera, unless you buy another handset of course.
    Im sure one day the front cameras will be megapixels too..
    My posts are my opinion and in no way the direct views of Nokia.
    If my posts are helpful, please give me some KUDOS using the green star on the left.

  • I can not switch to the front camera on my iTouch 4g.

    I have owned two 4th Generation Ipod Touches. After having both for over half a year, their front cameras will not work. I do not usually use the front camera. When I attempt to switch to the front camera from the Camera App (or from the Lock Screen) the Camera/Video button begins to flicker and the screen will either show the shutter or blackness. When attempting to switch the camera on Instagram, it notifies me that there was an error launching the camera. on my oldest device I was able to restart the Ipod and the front camera would work for a while before I would be required to restart it again. My newest device used to be the same way, but now it will not be fixed by restarting/shutting down/reebooting the device.
    Other Details:
    1st Ipod: Dropped- Front camera shattered and top left corner of Ipod cracked; Screen turned completely white when device was cold; Glass replaced once
    2nd Ipod: Dropped- Bottom left corner dented and one thin line arching from corner to right side through the screen; Slow in taking pictures (back camera)
    If this is a software problem, I would like to know if it can be fixed with at-home fixes.
    If this is a hardware problem, must the entire devie be replaced or just the glass?
    Thank You

    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem then it is a hardware problem. 
    I suspect that replacing the screen will not fix the camera problem unless the problem is due to a loose connection since replacing the screen could restore that connection.

  • Front camera not working

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem as myself in regards to the front camera not working. All I seem to get is a black screen! I'm not sure if I need to activate it somehow or it's just not working? Thanks Ross

    UPDATE:  After the intial Factory Data Reset, the camera work fine for one day.  Now it's back to the same blank screen in the front camera.  Also now my video camera isn't working either.  I get an error msg "Recording in progress in another app. Cannot record".  I know some folks were having issues with the "OK Google" app.  I checked mine and all is unchecked.   Spent most of the day talking with Sony and Verizon and neither was able to help me other than Verizon offered a refurbed phone.  No thank you, my phone is new.  **bleep** Sony?  If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT201406 Ipod touch 5th generation front camera not working?

    Ive had my ipod for at least 3-4 months now, and just today my front camera stopped working! I go to my camera app, (the built in one) and it defaults to the back camera. when I tap the little switch icon, I get a blurry, and sometimes black, screen. as if the shutter isnt opening. I have updated the ios software and shut down the ipod multiple times. I really dont want to reset the ipod because it will delete my apps.

    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.
