HT201412 Camera will not work on my iPod...help???

The shutter on my camera will not open, so I cannot use my camera. I have tried turning my iPod off and then on again, I have tried resetting it, I tried accessing it by opening FaceTime, I have tried covering the front view camera...none of these tricks have worked...I need help?!?!?!

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.
-  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

    I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

Does anyone know how to fix this? or is it even fixable? or even know how much it would cost to get Apple to fix this? Im so confused any info would be great!

    This is the third time of writing this on your Apple Support Communities!
    Not with your current user id.
    Far too much uneccesary information in your post, which only confuses things, a vast amount!
    Let's start with iTunes.
    Have you updated iTunes to 11.1.5, because the previous version did appear to have an issue about seeing iPods?
    With iTunes 11.1.5 installed, look in Edit/Preferences/Devices, (or use the ALT key, followed by the E key and then the F key) and make sure that the box named Prevent iPods, iPhones and iPads from syncing automatically does not have a tick in the box.
    Once you have doen those two things, check to see if the iPod is seen by iTunes.

    By the way, what does IOS mean? (I thought IO stood for operating system, but am flummoxed by the S on the end.
    Really?
    OS stands for Operating System. (In computer speak, IO means Input/Output.)
    iOS originally stood for iPhone Operating System, but it now refers to the iPod Touch and iPhone. The iPod Classic, which you have listed in your profile as your iPod, does not use iOS.
    I assume that you have been listening to the Podcast in your iTunes on the computer as you cannot transfer it to your iPod. It's what I'd do.

  • I have purchased an iPad camera connection kit and when I attach my Canon Rebel XT I get a message that camera will not work.

    In the title, I have this kit and it will allow me to connect my camera to the iPad (and my iPod) but gives me a message that this model camera (?) will not work with either. The camera is a Canon EOS Rebel XT and about 5 years old. I had an earlier connection kit that worked with a Canon (don't know the model) earlier but now I have no function with this equipment. Any suggestions?

    With a Rebel XT / 350D you need to enable PTP (Picture Transfer Protocol) on it in its settings :
    Is that what it's currently set to ?

  • My camera does not work on my ipod touch 4th gen. it just goes to a black screen i have done everything from resetting and rebooting... help :(

    I fell down the stairs the other day and busted my other ipod to the gamewerks near my house. the guy said he couldnt fix that ipod so he gave me a new one.. a better one a 32GB, the broken one was 8GB. but he told me the only bad thing is that the camera does not work and he doesnt know why... he just couldnt get it to workkk... any ideas on whats wrong?

    Try the following:
    - A reset. Nothing is 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.
    - Restore from backup

    If you still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order

  • Why exchange email will not work on my ipod touch, but ok on iphone

    Why will microsoft exchange email not work on my ipod touch, but with the exact same settings, it works fine on my iphone? What is the reason for this?

    Try a soft reset, press and hold both power and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears, about 15 seconds, then release both. If still no joy, go into Settings>General>Reset then tap Reset All Settings. If still no joy, back up your iPod to your computer then do a Restore to Backup, if that doesn't work Restore to new through iTunes. If a full restore to new does not work, you may have a hardware issue, contact Apple Genius Bar to have your iPod evaluated. Good luck, Cheers.

  • Will not:  rotate screen, camera will not work, iPad will not turn off, sound on side.

    Reset all settings

    Note: Data will not be affected but settings will be reset.

  • My iPad 4 is kicking me out of apps and camera will not work

    Reboot your iPad, restore your iPad, or take it to the Apple Genius Bar for them to look at it.

  • TS3367 my camera will not work

    I've got a brand new macbook air. went to use facetime & camera is not working... showing a colorful distorted image.  tried photobooth, same thing. anyone know what's wrong? thanks

    I am going to assume, that even though you mentioned the MacBook Air, that this question does pertain to the iPad because you posted in the iPad forum.
    Quit the camera app, FaceTime and PhotoBooth  completely and restart the iPad. 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 or anywhere above the task bar. Restart the iPad.
    Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
    Or .... 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 - let go of the buttons.

  • My iPod will turn on, but will not work at all. (please help)

    ok i know about ipods, and this issue is not something that i have come across. when i plug in my ipod to my pc a screen shows on my ipod saying "do nto disconnect" i dont, i want until it is loaded. then the folder with a "!" pops up, and i read on www.apple.com that i am supposed to try the 5 w's, and i have tryed all 5 w's 3 times each. nothing works, nothing. when i click start and click all programs and go to ipod then i click ipod updater i cannot restore my ipod because a message pops up saying "The attached iPod model is not supported by this application." someone please help me.

    Download and install the newest software if you have not already done so. See my post above for the links. After you have done this, try putting the iPod into disk mode and restoring.

    PS- What do you mean when you say it will not allow you to right click on it? FYI- Sometimes when there's something going on with your iPod's hard drive, it takes a really long time for the computer to respond to commands for it. So, if you're right clicking and then getting an hourglass, please be patient. You'll get there eventually.

  • Web Cam will not work

    I recovered and reinstalled all software but the Webcam will not operate. 
    There is not Camera listed in the Imaging devices
    but under sound, video and gaming there is the Cyberlink webcam virtual driver listed.
    I did a hard reset by removing the battery and holding down the power button and had it check for new hardware but nothing was found.
    The Cyberlink YouCam SW states that no webcam detected.

    This sounds like the webcam is dead or now working anymore...install skype and test that will tell you if it detect the webcam or not.
