IPad 2 camera stuck won't snap a photo

IPad camera does not respond when I press the shutter? This happens intermittently.

Artist Alan-
If a reset does not clear up the problem, there may be an internal defect in your iPad.  If you can show it to an Apple Store Genius, you may get a new iPad on the spot.
If there is no Apple Store near you, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center near you.  There may be one in your city.  In the US, <United States>.  Outside the US, <http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1434>.

  • IPad 2 camera shutter won't open! PLEASE HELP!

    The iPad 2 camera shutter won't open!  I restored the iPad 2 and it still won't open.  Any ideas?

    I'm having the same problem as well with my U.S. bought iPad 2.
    My problem occures when I try to switch from the back camera to the front camera, then the shutter will not open.  I've tried everything: turning off, hard reboot, reset to factory, and re-applying firmware... still nothing.
    I have not tried charging it overnight, will do and post results.
    bummer!

  • IPad Mini Camera cable won't work

    Hello, I have an iPad Mini (lovvvve it!!!) and purchased the USB camera kit. This works perfectly with my Olympus Pen EPM1 so I know I am doing it right. I also have an ancient Olympus mju 410 which I use for underwater pics when snorkelling on hols! I have plugged the cable in and it just says "one moment" and nothing happens.
    Does anyone know if this is because it is a bit old and the new fangled iPad is confusing it? The camera works fine when I plug it into a netbook to download photos.
    Thanks for any thoughts.

  • When taking a picture with IPad. Camera my recipients always receive the photo upside down. WHY?

    When taking a photo with my IPad, then sending it, my recipients always the phot upside down.  WHY?   Help Please.

    I think that this is a philosophical question. I, for one, hold my iPad in landscape mode with the Home button on the right-hand side and in portrait mode the Home button is on the bottom.
    Anyway, you're welcome!

  • TS3274 My Ipad display is stuck on portrait mode. I tried the toggle switch, turning off and restart and just now backed up into Itunes and restored and still is stuck on portrait mode and it won't flip to landscape mode. Is this a hardware problem?

    Has lock rotation been accidentally enabled within the control centre? If you swipe up the screen is there a circle with a lock symbol & if so is is greyed out or white - if white it is enabled.

  • I have a JVC video camera and it records the video to a .mod format (which Apple devices don't support). I figured out how to get them to iPhoto using iMovie but I want to be able to get the videos on my iPad 2 but it won't let it sync. Any help?

    Thanks for that. Much more constructive than the last comment. It's only the restriction code I can't recall, not the access passcode. So I can currently access the device, just not age restricted content. Does that's make a difference? I also wondered if anyone knew how many attempts you get to try to get it right. Now tried 21 times and so far nothing bad has happened but I am concerned I'll eventually be completely locked out of the device. That doesn't seem in the spirit of things though. Surely it's foreseeable that a child could repeatedly try to guess the code so I can't see that it would be right to lock the device down completely in that circumstance, particularly if the access code is being typed in correctly every time.
    Thanks

  • The Apple ID has been changed on my iPad but the apps won't update with the new id and password, including the apps that came with the iPad so I can't delete and reinstall with new Apple ID

      What do you do if you have bought a used iPad and the apps won't update without the original id and password.  Can't delete the apps that come with the iPad and reinstall them so what do I do?

    Correct. An app can only be updated under the Apple ID that was used to orginally acquire the app. If that is a problem you can delete the app and download again under the new userid. If you paid for the app you will have to pay again. Your old Apple ID does not go away so there is no reason to not use it to download the apps.
    You cannot delete the apps that came with IOS. If you want to "hide" the apps simply put the apps into an application folder by dragging one app onto another. You can do this to all the IOS apps.

  • I have an app that I started to download. It is stuck in "downloading" and I cannot get it off my iPad. The "x" won't appear when I hold down on the app icon.

    Boot off your iPad and turn it back on.  Hold the button on the top until the "slide to power off" shows up. When you boot back up it will be gone and then you can re-install the app.

  • Camera app won't work stuck on shutter

    My camera app won't work it stuck on the shutter
    iOS 5.0 i never did an Update or restore to the software
    iPhone 4S white
    16GB
    iOS 5.0
    Unlocked Version But now im using China Unicom Carrier
    Bought on January 2012

    I happen to be experiencing then same problem again!
    I have followed all the steps and my phone will just not come right. I love my iPhone but I have no clue what is going on sometimes it will just freeze in the camera app and I have to restart my whole phone.
    I have downloaded another camera app to see if it would make any difference and it hasn't.
    Should I take it back to the service provider that I have my contract with and get them to send it in to apple? Because the phone is only 3 months old.
    Please Help me or advise me on what to do because I don't want to leave it and it causes more problems.

  • Ipad mini is stuck on Apple Logo, have shut down but still won't reboot

    Ipad mini is stuck on Apple Logo.  Have done a forced shut down, but when it starts up again its back to the apple logo - its not moving either

    Hi Bonney Fam,
    Thanks for contributing to the Apple Support Communities.
    You mention that your iPad mini is stuck at the Apple logo after it shut down. If you haven't already, try resetting it again:
    To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
    From:
    Restart or reset your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
    If the iPad still doesn't start up past the Apple logo, try this method to reinstall iOS:
    If your device gets stuck during startup
    When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
    Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
    Put your device in recovery mode.
    When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
    From:
    If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
    All the best,
    Jeremy

    Are you using a valid Apple charger that came with the iPad?
    Attempting to use a computer USB port, an incompatible charger, or attempting to charge via a wall socket that only receives power from a wall switch — can all lead to a low, or depleted battery condition. Has this iPad been wet, or dropped?
    Verify all of the above, and correct. If the iPad still cannot hold a charge, consider taking to an Apple Store, or authorized service provider to evaluate it.

  • My ipad front camera doesn't working,cannot take a picture this moment,how to fix this problem?

    My ipad front camera doesn't working,cannot take a picture this moment,how to fix this problem?

    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 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 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • How can I get new iPad  without camera?

    Dear friends.
    I need iPad without camera in my work place.
    Can I get iPad 4 without camera? Where? How?
    Can I change my iPad 1 softeware and put iPad 4  software?
    Can I put iPad 4 inside iPad 1 case?

    First of all, you can't purchase an iPad 4th Generation without a camera. Second, iPad 4s won't fit into iPad 1 cases, (some may, but the majority won't), lastly, why would you need an iPad without a camera?

  • My iPad 2 is stuck in verify update after updating to 8.1.3. Tried pushing buttons and holding. No luck

    How many times did you try the reset? Sometimes, it can take more than one reset, especially with these kinds of issues. Try multiple times. Note that you need to hold both buttons until the Apple logo appears on the screen. This can sometimes take 15-30 seconds.
    Device Reset (won't affect settings/data/music/apps/etc)
    1. Press and hold (& continue to hold) BOTH the Sleep/Wake button & the Home button.
    2. Continue to hold BOTH (ignoring any other messages that may show) until you see the Apple logo on the screen.
    3. Release BOTH buttons when you see the Apple logo and allow the device to boot normally.
