IPad 3 camera not working

Hello.. Just bought an iPad 3..
Just installed it and now when i open the camera, the schutter stays closed and i can't press any button. Also Photo booth is having issues. When i open it, the curtain opens and closes all the time, but won't open the app.
I've tried to close the Apps by doubletapping home button, hold app button and shut off.. Didn't help.
I've tried the hard reset by holding sleep and home button for ten seconds till logo appeard. Didn't help.
I've reïnstalled the iPad. Didn't help!!
Is there anybody who experienced the problems? Anybody with a sollution?
Thans!

When you are re-installing the iPad, make sure you are not restoring from a back-up. If you are restoring from a back-up, that will just put the bad firmware back on the iPad. The importance here seems to be getting rid of that software and/or firmware problem. So, connect your iPad to iTunes, then click on the iPad in the sidebar, and choose the "Restore" button. Additionally, when that is finished, don't use the back-up iTunes has stored. (You can remove the back-up in iTunes Preferences>Devices and then select and delete the iPad backup you have stored there.
The best explanation I've heard is that the software (iOS) communcates with the hardware (i.e., the camera) via the firmware. If you just restore from back-up, that doesn't replace or update the firmware.
I hope this helps!

Ipad photobooth not working, shows curtain closing but camera seems to be off

ipad photobooth not working, shows curtain closing but camera seems to be off

Have you tried closing the Camera app completely ? 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 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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.

PLease help

Hi Hellside,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like there is an issue with the camera on your iPad. The article linked below has a lot of great troubleshooting suggestions for a similar issue on an iPhone but the suggestions should resolve the issue with your iPad too.
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
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.
Issue not resolved
My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
Contact Apple Support.
I hope this helps.

Ipad 4 front and back camera ipad 4 not working after updating to ios 7

I just updated my ipad 4 to ios 7. After the update I noticed that both cameras are not working anymore.
I can start the phote app butt I anly get a black screen

I have been experiencing this exact same problem (back camera not working, switching to front camera it works once then freezes and screen goes black). I tried the fixes everyone has suggested and no luck. I took my iPad to a Genius Bar and let me spare you all the frustration of that experience. The "geniuses" solution at the Apple Genius Bar was to offer to sell me a new iPad for $299. After attempting to restore the iPad I was told they couldn't determine what the problem was and that there could be a "million" different reasons why the camera would stop working. When I asked them about the problem possibly being related to the IOS 7 I was told that "people say a lot of things on the Internet and that the IOS 7 is getting blamed for a lot of things." Nevermind that it's on Apple's own discussion boards that it's being talked about.
I'm so ****** off and so disappointed with Apple and their crap products. There are posts about this dating back at least six months, but no fix or patch? This iPad is barely more than a year old. It has never been dropped or mishandled in any way. The first time it was ever even taken out of our home was today...to take it to the Not-So-Genius Bar. My 5 year old uses this iPad and is in tears over the fact that it will no longer take pictures or video.
Hey Apple you could have locked in a customer for life, but now my 5 year old will only think of Apple as the compay that makes crap products that break and won't stand by them. Congratulations! Awesome job with cultivating customers for the future.

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 iPad equivalent of a reboot.
If neither fix it then you could try contacting Apple.

That would be the indication of Recovery Mode. You can try instructions from this support document. If you can't update or restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you attempt it a couple of times and it does not complete, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar of the nearest Apple Store, or Apple Service Provider to check for hardware problems.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Hi there,
Firstly, try a hard reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until the Apple logo appears.
If this doesn't work, try restoring your device. Put it in recovery mode if iTunes doesn't recognise it, and restore it from there. I have linked to instructions below.
Recovery Mode and Restore - Apple
Let me know if this helps,
