Ipad ios7 cameras blank

Have ipad 4, updated with latest ios 7.1, since updating (unsure exactly which version) both front and back cameras display only a black screen. Other camera using apps are the same, have reset device and backed up from iCloud and re-registered without success. Contacted apple and followed advice to re-install from iTunes; this didn't help, unable to re-contact support unless pay £25. Annoyed as it looks like a software problem and as ipad over a year old apple won't help.
Any fixes? Or just wait until future update and apple bothering to address this?

Fair point! So guess I'm looking at a costly repair/replacement. Anyone else had similar issue?

Ibooks on Ipad IOS7 shows blank page as store after update.

Hi, I have updated my Ipad to IOS7 and use the latest Itunes sw on my computer.
Itunes and Ibook show only blank page when I open the store,
tried to reload app, restart Ipad, allow cookies ... nothing worked.
Any ideas?

Okay, try this...
Go to Settings -> iTunes & App Store -> Apple ID and sign out of your account. Then sign back in with your Apple ID. Try iBooks again...
If that doesn't work, go to Settings -> General -> Reset -> Reset All Settings. When done, turn your iPad off (hold the Sleep button down for several seconds. When the red slider appears, switch it off. Wait a few seconds and then press and hold the Sleep button for 1-2 seconds and let go). After the reboot you will need to reconnect your Wi-Fi, log back in to App Store, iBook Store, and iTunes. Try downloading content again.
Hope this answers your question!

Hello pichastos,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
To troubleshoot this issue where your camera is displaying a black screen, please follow the information outlined below.
You see a closed lens or black screen
If you see a closed lens or black screen when you open the Camera app, try these steps:
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Take care,
Alex H.

Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

Power PC G4 running OS 10.5.8 no longer sync with iPad iOS7, what's up?

Leopard (OS X 10.5) came out in October, 2007. iOS 7 came out in October, 2013.
You need an absolute minimum of OS X 10.6.8 (Snow Leopard) to run iTunes 11 which can sync devices using iOS 7.
In the U.S., you could purchase Snow Leopard here:
http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
... then update it to OS X 10.6.8.
UPDATE -- Sorry! I don't think you have an Intel processor Mac, and therefore cannot run Snow Leopard. You need a new computer to sync using iOS 7.

How do I delete photos from my ipad ios7.0.1

How do I delete photos from my ipad ios7.0.1

What is your iPhoto version on your iPad?
Photos in the Camera roll can be deleted, when browsing them and tapping "Delete".
In iPhoto 2.0 you would delete photos like this: iPhoto Help (iPad): Delete photos
Delete photos
Depending on how your photos and video clips were added to iPhoto, do one of the following:
Photos and video clips taken with your device: In iPhoto, tap Albums, tap Camera Roll, tap to select the photos, tap , tap Delete Photo, and tap Delete. The photos are deleted from both iPhoto and your device.
Photos and video clips you synced to your computer using iTunes: Connect your device to your computer and, in iTunes, deselect the photos and video clips you want to remove from your device. Click Apply.
Photos in the Beamed, Photo Box, iTunes, or [App] album: Tap a photo, tap (tap Edit if you don’t see the tool), tap Delete Photo, and tap Delete.

Why can't Chapters created in GarageBand podcasts be viewed as large screens in iTunes and iPads using iMac OS 10.8.5 and iPad iOS7?

I created podcasts using GarageBand and added artwork as chapters to the audio naration. In the old iTunes they would show up as seperate large screenswhich could be easily read by other on a large monitor. While they can be seen as tiny pictures when you click on Chapters in the menu bar at the top, they are not large enough for students or audience members to see.
I also create these to go on my iPad. Withe the old version of iTunes, they could fill up the screen on the iPad. in iOS7 they are small, do not change with the audio as they are supposed to, and you only can see the next screen if you touch the < in the top left, go back to the previous screen and then touch "Now Playing". Since they do not automatically go to the next chapter artwork screen as the audio is playing, you would have to just know when to make the change.
This now defeats the whole purpose of the ability to add artwork or any visual guide that would go along with the podcast that was created in GarageBand and sent to iTunes.
Even when you make the podcast into a movie, which does show the artwork as the audio is playing, you still can't control it by having the chapters available as they used to be in the seperate window. This used to be in the control of the three lines on the bottom right side of the screen which now are the list of the next podcasts. In fact, on my iMac screen, the window is also very small. You can't make it larger like you could in the earlier version of iTunes.
It is such a disappointment to me that this has changed.
I can still use my old iPod to do the podcast the way I have described above, and fortunately I can show those using AppleTV on a large monitor, but if I wanted to send the podcast to students to place on the iPad, they would no longer have the full value of what GarageBand creates.
Is there any other program that could be used on the iPad that would not only have the artwork chapters in sync with the audio, but would have a way to quickly go from one chapter to another should a student wish to skip parts of a podcast and only review certain portions?
If nothing is available now, is there anyway to get a message to the iTunes people to get this back into the iOS7 devices? I wish someone could let them know what a loss it is to those of us who have used these applications for this kind of teaching or studying.
Please create another iPad app that would work with GarageBand for this kind of podcast!!!
I use an iMac OS 10.8.5 and an iPad iOS7.
Thanks

I'm going to reply to my own message. After spending some time trying to solve this problem, I found an application called Chapter Maker in the App Store. It is reasonably priced and once you have turned your podcast sent to iTunes into a movie by opening it in QuickTime, you can either just show it through QuickTime on your desktop or laptop computer, or if you want it to work in iTunes the way it used to work, you can send it from QuickTime to iMove (go to file/Export to... iMovie) where you can then export it as a movie to your desktop and open in Chapter Maker where you can add the chapter headings back in to the podcast and Export it. You can then add it back into the movie folder in iTunes where you can see the visuals in full screen and navigate through the chapters quickly.
I also tried this out by connecting my iPad to my computer and moving the movie into my iPad. While it doesn't have the chapters visible to navigate quickly to a chapter heading, you can touch the play screen and drag it to the places you need to review. Not as nice as the old iOS version, but it also does show the visual screen using the full screen of the iPad.
As I mentioned earlier, on my older iPod, I am able to view the visuals in full screen and by touching the list at the top right, it turns over to navigate through chapters with clearly labeled headings.
I use this to study topics for myself and also to pass on information to students.
I do wish they had kept the old version the way it was, but guess that's the way things go.
Check out the application in the App Store called Chapter Maker if you are looking for the same solution to this problem. Even if you aren't, it's an easy way to add sections to any video.

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!

No, the UDID interface is not present in iOS 7. Use iTunes.

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.

My iPad screen is blank except for the service and battery symbol. Any ideas how I can fix this?

Try restarting
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for phone to restart (no data will be lost).

My ipad screen has gone blank, I was using it and suddenly blank screen. I have tried connecting to power point for charging but nothing. I hope that someone can advise me I would be most grateful

Connect it to the wall charger and wait about an hour.
Try this - 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.

HT5622 Since I have updated my iPad ios7,I am having problems activating my FaceTime

I have recently updated my iPad ios7,but having problems activating FaceTime.

No one should have to reset network settings, I have the same issue and I have a celluar package, it's slow using either one--but my IMac is running just fine so don't blame the network--blame the testers and my Internet speed is grease lightning so that's not it either--too many issues, like Facebook randomly disappearing while open, choppy animation, slow to load programs.
It's too **** bad they made it so you cannot roll back to IOS6 until these bugs are worked out--shoulda waited. Shoulda, coulda, woulda..not helping me now AND my friend bought his mini the same time I did in April and we are not even in the same city and he has the same exact problems!!
