IPad camera (user-facing) horizontal lines...

Hi
I've had iPad 2 for a few months. All fine...
I just went to use the camera that faces the user (not something I use often but has always worked thus far) but is corrupt with horizontal lines. Forward camera is fine but user-facing one is unusable. Screen fine in all other instances.
I've protected this with my life so very unlikely it is damaged (does direct sun affect the camera?) so a bit unsure what this is
Any help?
Thanks
Matt

Hi emancabanlit,
For nay issues with the camera on your iPad, refer to the article below to sort it out. Start with force closing the app as well as restarting your device. If it is still having issues then you may want to take your iPad to an Apple Retail Store or and Authorized Service Provider.

My ipad screen goes funny horizontal lines then it switches off

my ipad2 screen goes funny horizontal and vertical lines appear then it switches off or goes to home screen

Try a Reset (Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 15 seconds).

My iPad screen shows a very thin horizontal line... What could it be?

My iPad ia showing a very thin red horizontal line... Wyatt could it be? What should I do? Please help guys!
Tks!

You can try giving it a reset. HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. See if the reboot helps.
If not you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it. If something is wrong with the iPad's version of the video card, that's beyond a user fix.

What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?

Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now. Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there. Any ideas??

Hi Tolmivooz,
So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.

If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.

My ipad screen is full of horizontal lines

My ipad screen is full of horizontal lines & it wont switch off. Even after force close, when i restart, the lines are still there ?
What do I do ?
Regards

First try a simple reset if you already havent. Hold down the home and power buttons for 15 to 30 seconds until you see the silver apple then let you device start normally. If the lines are still there the next step would to be backup your device and restore from iTunes as a new device. If the lines are still there after you restore your device would need service or replacement.

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems: my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normal. my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems:
_ my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normally
_ my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines(as perhaps electrical problems). The phone did fell and I already changed its back and front but everything was normal until these problems appeared suddenly
Please can somebody help me to solve it and tell me what are the reasons?
Thx

you can try turning it off and on again, but i doubt that's gonna work, that sounds like more of a hardware issue. Your best bet may be to contact apple and seek service or replacement

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
Hold Sleep and Home buttons until the iPad restarts, so the message won't appear after restarting it

Is the little green light on?
Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying one of those Apps.

If you take a screenshot (Press the home button and Lock button at the same time), does it appear on the screenshot? Zoom in on the screenshot and see if it's still there.
If not, then your display is failing. I would recommend taking it to an Apple Store if you can, if you can't then to an authorised Apple reseller.
If it does appear on the screenshot when you zoom into the spot, then it's a really weird software issue! You might have to backup and restore the device.
Let me know!

Ipad mini users only. Did the ios 7 upgrade diminish the camera and picture quality?

I recently upgraded my ipad mini from ios 6 to ios 7 and I still trying to get used to the new interface. However my confidence was shaken when i stumbled upon several internet posts claiming a diminishing in the quality of the pictures taken with the ipad mini especially in outside conditions. My plans to get buy an ipad with ios 6 on it were about to get scrapped but the post and complains i read online are making me reconsider them again. I would appreciate if a fellow ipad mini user share his or her upgrading experience with me so i can make an intelligent decision. Please i would truly appreciate non partial, thoughtful opinions, not fan boy/girl type of advice. Thanks

I haven't noticed any deterioration on ipad mini's at all. In fact i think it's almost seems better on ios 7 due to software enhancements.
In all fairness though, why are you using an ipad mini for taking photos.
Its not bad camera it's just there are much better out there.

Black horizontal line ipad mini Safari

New iPad mini appears to be having problems already. While using Safari in some websites, a fairly thin black horizontal line will appear typically in the middle of the page. It usually gravitates towards the spot where you try to read. Thin enough to kind of underline text for easier reading but big enough to be a nuisance. Is this a feature for easier reading in Safari or a bug.
Please help,

Michele,
I know this was mostly answered, but I am there with you. It's a very frustrating problem and you are not alone.
Merging the keyboard and splitting it again, as well as hard closing Safari, seemd to fix it, if only temporarily.
Slightly lifting the split keyboard from the bottom seems to completely solve this SEVERELY annoying and temper tantrum inducing problem. It has taken me more time than I'd like to admit to fix this, and I have my doubts that it will work permanently as well.
But anything that MIGHT work is better than dealing with this issue.
It may seem minor to some, but for a lot of us, it is very distracting and annoying.
I keep hoping with each and every update that it's fixed, and am disappointed each and every update.

MBPR - built in camera - horizontal lines only

My MBPro Retina displays only yellow and red horizontal lines. It was working fine last night. This morning when I turned it on there were a few lines, and within a couple of minutes it was completely yellow and red and green lines. A screen shot is shown below. This occurs in all application using the camera, whether Facetime, Photobooth, or Skype.
Are there any settings or software errors, or is this most likely a hardware issue?
All help appreciated,
Thanks

All,
It seems that this is, if not a widespread, at least repeated problem. I took my unit to the genius bar, and I have good new and bad news.
The bad news is that the "fix" is to replace the entire monitor. Apparently the camera is intergrated completely into the screen.
The good news is that it was done under warranty, quickly (<24 hours) and under warranty.
Sometimes the camera worked and sometimes it showed the yellow lines. Fortunately, it showed yellow lines at the genius bar. The guys working on it did take the unit into the back room and test it on their thunderbolt monitor and told me it replicated the problem there.
I have previously been advised to try to restart by resetting the PRAM. This worked the first time, but never again.

Why is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden?

Why is there a horizontal line a quarter inch above the Home button on the iPad main screen all of a sudden? Does that mean the screen itself is problematic?

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help I suspect there is a hardware problem with the iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
