Ipad camera button gone

The camera is not there any more.  Won't work for Skype or any picture taking.  It doesn't know there is a camera there.

If you mean that the Camera app has disappeared and you can't find it on any of your homescreens or app folders nor via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find it 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

    Your posts are meaningless unless you tell the world (yes - that is who is reading this) which iPad you have, which iOS you are running, and what the answer was.

  • I went on a trip and when I came back almost all my ipad apps were gone(I suspect my dad). When I went to go look at my account it was as the same as the ipad, it had none of my other games on there. How do I get my account back to how it was

    I kind of ran into the same issue when I checked my purchased apps on my iPad in the iTunes store.  A bunch were not there.  I then looked at iTunes on my computer and again, a bunch were missing.  I realized I had not synched in quite a while.  Once I synched everything was ok.  As the poster above said, iTunes knows you have already purchased them so you can redownload for free.  However, be aware that when you do red own load you will be asked to pay again, just say ok and the next popup will say that you have already purchased the app.
    Lesson I learned - synch more often.  Boy, I can't wait for IOS5......

  • My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...

    My iPad screen has gone black.  I have tried resetting it with the sleep and home buttons and it only flashes the apple on the screen for a nano second and then it goes black again.  I can even hear notifications arriving, but I cannot see anything...I'd rather not reset it to the factory settings as I have a lot of things I worry about using.  Either way seems to me that the system itself is working since I can hear it working, but its the screen that isn't.  It has not been dropped and has been in a case for years!  Please help!

    When the power is on and I press the home button, I can slide my finger where the slider bar "would be" and it makes the noise as if its "opening" flashes a blue screen then returns black...

  • The volume on my iPad 3 has gone. I've checked the mute button, tried restarting, resetting etc and nothing has changed. I can't hear the music, hear any sound from videos. Most times the video stops playing after a seconds. My iPad 3 is only 2 months ol.

    If you have lost all sound and video is freezing on you, that ain't good. Your iPad is two months old so I would not hesitate to contact Apple at all. You are entitled to 90 days of phone support.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipad/contact/.
    If you want to try a couple of things on your own, try quitting all apps and then reboot the iPad - not so much for the sound issue itself - but more as a general "start all over again" sort of approach. It might help with the video freezes.
    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. Reboot the iPad.
    Reboot 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.
    If you use headphones on occasion, you can try plugging and unplugging those as well and see if the sound comes back.
    You could even try restoring the iPad to factory settings and then restore from a backup, but unless there is something totally hosed on the iPad, that should not be necessary with a two month old device - of course assuming that you didn't drop the iPad or do something accidental that could be causing the problems.

  • Ipad all buttons stopped working and volume button has gone haywire

    I've had my ipad 4 16g wifi for the last year and a half with no problems whatsoever and then all of a sudden yesterday it's as if it's become possessed! ALL of the buttons have become nonresponsive, so I can't go to the homepage without using my fingers to sweep it, I cannot close my apps because the home button doesn't work, I can't turn the volume up or down using the volume button and I can't even turn off my ipad with the power button. Nothing seems to work and when they do, it works for 10 minutes and goes haywire again.
    THe volume button seems to be the worse for some reason with nothing even being close to it, it goes on and off and on and off sporadically for a span of 10 minutes. The ipad can still function but is considerably slower when the volume is going haywire and I have absolutely no clue why. What I have tried so far is resetting all settings and rebooting the ipad multiple times and this has not solved the issue. I have also updated to the latest software since the problem and it hasn't helped either. Any ideas?!!

    Try this, but you may not be able to  - 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. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

  • 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.

    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

  • 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 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.

  • Z1 Camera Button not Working!

    Hello everyone,
    My z1's camera button launches the camera app only approximately half the time. So when it doesnt launch the normal, usual way when i press on it, I would press doubly hard to try to activate the camera and still sometimes it doent work!
    Anyone experiencing this?
    Could it be that some wire or component inside the phone has gone awry? Or is it a bug in the software because usually the camera app would launch the camera with a very high chance if I have just lock the screen for not more than approx 5-10sec.
    Besides, would the z1 suffer any external/internal damage with a soft knock/drop on the table ? it is naked by the way. (i.e no phone cover etc)
    Thank you

    On my Z1,I cannot start the camera by button if the stamina is on.I added it to exceptions.
    All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us - J.R.R. Tolkien

  • Screen shots with ipad camera

    how do I take a screen shot using my ipad camera?  I read in the WSJ that you hold down the home and on/off keys, but when I do that  I just get the hard shut down screen.  Am i doing something wrong?  thanks!

    No, same process works on all iOS devices. You must be doing something not quite right.
    Whilst holding the Home button (the one on the front of the device below the screen) just tap the on/off switch. That's all there is to it. You must make sure you are holding the Home button before tapping the on/off switch.

  • My iPad camera iris will not open?

    My iPad camera iris will not open and camera will not function

    Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open it ? 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.
