Ipad 2 camera frozen

HI,
after latest iosupdate  about 3 weeks ago my camera shutter wont open when i try take a fron picture.
i Have no local Apple store. it was fine before and worked perfectly.
i Bought the apple device from a reputable seller on ebay about 6 months ago but where do I send it back to. It seems its the update that has made it not work.
thanks
liz

Try closing the Camera app via the taskbar and see 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 Mail 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 also do 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • Camera Frozen

    My Ipad camer has frozen when opening.
    I have looked at discussions but no joy yet. I have reset the pad (Home button and on button for 10 seconds) and still the same. I then re installed the software and restored from a backup in the cloud from earlier in the day when all was working.
    The camera works in facetime ok. Only to take a photo doesn't work.
    Any help please.

    Thanks for quick reply. I tried that to no avail.  I have just restored the OS in recovery and set the ipad to new. It installed and the camera still doesn't work, so I know the problem isn't with any app or document I had installed.
    Has there been any software updates in the last few days maybe a bug in the software? because this seems to be OS Software problem, not hardware or external software bug
    Thanks again

  • Using a connector to import pictures from an SD card; my iPad appears frozen ?

    Trying to import pictures to my iPad for the first time & the connection is in; I receive the Import icon, but appears frozen ?

    Yes. You need the iPad Camera Connection kit. The photos have to be in a folder titled DCIM in the root directory of the card. The name has to be eight characters like a camera names photos.. The suffix should be .jpg but some other photo formats may work
    BTW, this is the Mac Mini desktop forum

    I recently purchased an iPod touch 4g and was really pleased with it. That was until I tried FaceTime. I connected with a friends iPhone and could see her ok but she could not see me. I then found that I could not switch between the rear and front camera. The sound worked ok but no video! I have now found that the camera is not working at all, when I open the app, the shutter appears closed and will not open. I have tried a restore but this has not worked - can anyone please give me some advice?

  • How do I change the settings on my ipad camera when taking pictures?

    When I take pictures using my new iPad 4 Retina IOS 7  the pictures are HUGE!   I have found I can send a max of only  5 pics. in an e mail and use the medium setting offered IN THE MAIL SETTING.  But that is a lot of emails to have to send to yourself  when you have lots of  pictures. 
    So to just end this whole resize issue where is the SETTING to CHANGE the PHOTO SIZE WHEN or BEFORE you TAKE the pictures? I love the quality (would be nicer if it had flash or a telephoto lense but still nice pics).  
    I finally DID figure out how to transfer pics from my iPAD to my PC (Dell Laptop) NEVER COULD GET IT DONE  USING iTunes. So got the app.
    transfer pro" for $2.99  for this and am VERY happy with it. Makes it so easy to do.  But again when they are huge at 13 inches X16 inches  or something crazy all I do is end up with having to resize EVERY SINGLE PHOTO I took on my iPad in Photoshop on my Dell PC Laptop. 
    Would appreciate the answer to HOW TO GET TO THE SETTINGS TO change on  my iPAD camera.  Thank you,
    Antoinette

    Whow what a shame, I thought this iPad was going to be terrific.  Guess I'll get out my trusty Cannon from now on, lots less hassle.
    Thank you for the reply!

  • The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is always talking.  How do I make her voice go away and my IPAD work like it should.

    The voice that was on when I first set up my ipad came back on and now I have to double click to get into my apps and can't use my apps because her voice is talking.  How do I make the voice stop and my IPAD work again. 

    If you've turned VoiceOver on then see if triple-clicking the home button turns it off, and then change what Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home is set to.
    Otherwise, via 'the touch to select double-tap to activate' process you need to go into Settings > General > Accessibility > VoiceOver and turn it off
    The manual (http://support.apple.com/manuals/#ipad) also says that you should be able to switch voice-over off by connecting to your computer's iTunes :
    Turn VoiceOver on or off in iTunes: Select iPad in the iTunes sidebar. In the Options section of the Summary pane, click Configure Universal Access. Select VoiceOver, then click OK.
    So select Configure Universal Access at the bottom of the Summary tab and set Seeing to Neither

  • I don't have a wireless printer, and want to print things off of my iPad.  I know that I can use the iPad Camera Connection kit to connect USB devices like keyboards and I am wondering if I could do the same with a USB printer.

    I don't think you can connect a printer since you won't have the printer drivers. I use FingerPrint from collobos.com to print to my non-AirPrint printers.

    So what I have gleemed from this thread - is that Apple will not help me if an iPad mini is dropped and the screen breaks.  I would have lived without the insurance if I could have simply bought a new screen and then had it replaced by Apple.
    On something so fragile I would have expected a piece of glass to be a replacement part. But I am glad I made this post because now I no for sure if I break the screen there is no way to have it fixed by Apple and keep it in Warranty.
    Yup, kind of like anything else you accidentally break that is more cost effective to replace than to repair. Keep that iPad away from the toddler

  • Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8

    Why does Apple iPad Camera Connection Kit no longer work with iOS8?

    The kit is firmly inserted in thhe iPad's dock ? You could also try a reset and see if it's recognised after the iPad has restarted : 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.
    I haven't had problems using the kit with SD cards from Canon cameras . What capacity is the card, and it's an SD or SDHC card - if it's an SDXC card that's formatted as ExFAT then it won't be recognised

  • IPad camera connection kit is working on ios 6.1.3 or no?

    Hello everyone,
    I'm trying to find an answer to this question
    Is iPad camera connection kit working on the new update iOS 6.1.3?
    I need to know this kinda urgent now, because my iPad has been acting really weird, but I hadn't update yet, because I'm scared my camera connection kit won't work anymore, and I need it alot because I work with cameras.
    Anyone who already update and the camera connection kit still working? Please
    I have an iPad 2 currently iOS 6
    Have a great day!

    Works on my iPad 2 also. I transfer pics/videos using an SDHC card and also using a USB flash drive.
    To use a flash drive, Plug the  flash drive (works the same with an SD card) into your computer & create a new folder titled DCIM. Then put your movie/photo files into the folder. The files must have a filename with exactly 8 characters long (no spaces) plus the file extension (i.e., my-movie.mov; DSCN0164.jpg).
    Now plug the flash drive into the iPad using the camera connection kit. Open the Photos app, the movie/photo files should appear & you can import. (You can not export using the camera connection kit.)

  • Is there a limit on the size of SDHC card that can be read with the iPad camera connectioin kit?

    Is there a limit on the size of SDHC card that can be read with the iPad camera connection kit?

    I've successfully connected 32 gig SDHC and CF cards so if there is an upper limit, it's at least 32 gig.
    I know SDXC will not work.
    With the cards that don't work, have they been formatted correctly? the camera connection kit will only read cards holding images. (Well, it'll only see the images) And those images have to have a file name of exactly 8 characters (DSC_2342 for example) and they  have to be in a folder named DCIM.
    Anything else it wont' read.
    I put a photo on there called 'Christmas' and the connection kit won't see it. I put a photo on there in the DCIM folder named XMAS2342 it'll see that.
    So it's possible that those cards weren't read because they weren't speaking the right language.

  • My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    My iPad camera photos will wirelessly sync with my iMac and iCLoud photo stream, but the videos do not, is USB connection the only way to transfer videos or is there also a wireless method?

    Videos are not included with the Photo Stream. Photo Stream is for photos only.
    There is not a wireless method for importing videos from the iPad's Camera Roll.

  • IPad Camera Connection Kit doesn't work

    Some time ago I ordered from the Apple Store an iPad Camera Connection Kit.
    This morning, when testing it, the following happens :
    - SD card reader : when testing the SD card reader with the card from our camera, the message below is displayed :
         "Contents not available
          Cannot read the connected storage media"
         Strange, as the camera has taken hundreds of pictures, and when checking the card on my MBA I can access the card's subfolders without any problem.
    - USB camera connector :This works well (with the same card as mentioned above plugged into the camera).
    Does anyone have experience with the SD card reader ?
    Thanks.
    Note : in the iPad Camera Connection Kit documentation, reference is made to the iPad user guide. However, that user guide, a circular reference is made to the connection kit documentation.

    Is the SD card one that was formatted by your camera? In order for the CCK to read the card, all the photos need to be in a directory name DCIM and they need to have 8-character file names. This is the way digital cameras generally format things. However, if you put the photos on the card yourself, you might have done it differently.
    I use the SD card reader quite a bit as it's easier for me than keeping track of yet another cable. Once or twice, my iPad didn't see it. A reset of the iPad fixed that. Press and hold the Home button and the power button until the silver apple appears.
