4th Generation iPod: camera stopped working; I touch the icon, the screen goes blank navy blue. What do I do?

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera '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.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the equivalent of a reboot.

My iPod touch 4th generation charger just stopped working and I've only had it for about 2 or 3 months. Please help!!!

Then it should still be under warranty, so make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.
If that's not a possibility and you want to troubleshoot, what do you mean by 'just stopped working'? What were you doing? Maybe some more info could help with troubleshooting.

Camera does not function
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on your Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure that camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the main camera lens or the display glass covering the front camera.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature; try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
Try turning the iPod touch off and then on again.
If your iPod touch has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

4th generation ipod nano not working

All of the sudden my 4th generation, 8GB ipod nano isn't working. I had a 2004 G4 aluminum Powerbook that started to go so I bought a refurbished Macbook Pro a couple weeks ago. On my Powerbook, the screen all of the sudden went dark. I researched what might be the cause and found it to possibly be the inverter board. I bought the part and installed it to no avail. Which probably means it's the mother board... which is why I bought the new Macbook. Before the screen went dark, my left USB port and audio in was having problems (probably the mother board dying). I would always charge my ipod from that left USB port. Could this be why now it's acting up and not even recognizing it on my old Powerbook and new Macbook? When I plug it into either computer, the apple start up screen shows, then it shows the "Low Battery" screen, then it briefly shows my playlist, movies, etc. screen... and then goes back to the apple start up screen, and filters through this process as I keep it plugged in. I'm assuming the worst but hopefully there's a solution and I won't have to now buy a new ipod Thanks for any help that anyone can provide.

Anyone ever had this problem before?

3RD GENERATION IPOD NANO STOPPED WORKING THE SECOND I CONNECTED IT TO ITUNES TO UPDATE MY LIBRARY ... I TRIED EVERYTHING POSSIBLE AND NOTHING IS WORKING ... AND IT WAS WORKING PERFECT RIGHT BEFORE I CONNECTED TO ITUNES ... HMMM.

I DONT KNOW WHERE TO START BUT OR STARTERS LET ME JUST SAY I TOOK GREAT CARE OF MY IPOD NANO 3RD GEN AND THERE IS NO REASON ON MY PART WHY IT STOPPED WORKING...

Try restoring the iPod via iTunes. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If your iPod is with in the one-year warrranty, not abused and defective Apple will replace it.

Ipod camera stopped working?

One day while I was taking a video, my ipod got extremely over heated. so i turned off the camera app, and shut down my entire ipod. 3 hours later when i turned it on, i tried taking a photo and the camera shutters would not open. Its been like this months and I updated everything, and erased everyting on my ipod and reloaded everything, and the camera is still not working. How can I fix it? Or can I send it to the company and get it replaced? Help?!?!?

If you restored to factory settings/new iPod and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..

The sound on my 5th Generation Ipod has stopped working

So my ipod has the newest software and has been rebooted and all the other "re"s you can think of and yet the sound does not play. The video works fine, and the music says it is playing but no sound will come into my headphones, stereo, or any other way I have tried to connect it to get sound to come out. ANy way to fix without buying a new iPod?

I have the same problem and my nieces ipod fifth gen also lost sound capabilities - Apple should admit to this problem and repair them for free!!!!

My 4th generation iPod just stopped responding.

It won't turn on, reset or do anything else at all.
Please help!

How did you try to reset it? What happens when you connect the device to iTunes?
If nothing else, let the battery fully drain and then charge it backup long enough for you to restore it in iTunes to factory settings.

My camera stopped working, I get a blank screen. Does anyone know how to fix this?

My ipad3 is a couple of months old and the camera stopped working. When I select the camera app I get a blank screen. I can't do anything but close the app. Has anyone else experienced this? How can I correct?
Thanks,
Jojora

When you say that you can close it are you closing the app this way?
Go to the home screen first by tapping the home button. Double tap the home button and the task bar will appear with all of your recent/open apps displayed at the bottom. Tap and hold down on any app icon until it begins to wiggle. Tap the minus sign in the upper left corner of the app that you want to close. Tap the home button when you are done.

Why is my 4th generation ipod capacity showing 6.46GB instead of 8GB

why is my 4th generation ipods capacity showing6.46GB instead of 8GB

Most of the difference is taken up by the iOS itself. The other is due to how GB are advertised and actually used. See the Consumer confusion for the later.

I have iPhone 5S after updating to IOS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working!!!!

After updating to IPS 7.1.1 my camera stopped working, it's just a black screen.

Hello Darth Evans,
The troubleshooting steps below can help get your iPhone's camera working again.
Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

Ipad 2 camera stops working

Hi, when i create a work email account on my ipad (exchange) my camera stops working? if i delete the account it comes back..... has anyone experienced this or have some advice. Many thanks in advance. Rob

It is probably a restriction that the administrator of your work account is imposing. You can try contacting them and see if they can lift the restriction, or at least explain to you why they've got it.
