Ipad4 camera not working after ios8

when I click on the app all the features appear but the screen is black(for both front and rear camera). My facetime still works so the camer itself works PLEASE HELP

Hi Dja1231,
Thanks for the question. If I understand correctly, the camera is black on the iPad but not when using FaceTime. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help you isolate or resolve the issue.
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
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 the 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.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day,
Mario

  • IPad4 Camera Not Working after ios 7.1.2 install

    The Camera in my iPad4 stopped working after loading ios 7.1.2. The App comes up with a Black Screen and none of the controls work. I loaded another Camera App, Rebooted, Restored and also upgraded to ios 8. None support steps have resolved my camera issue.
    I have searched online and seen that others have had the same issue after loading 7.1.2 and other releases. But it seems that there is no resolution being provided by Apple unless your iPad is under warranty.
    I believe that Apple should address my issue, because hardware issues shouldn't happen just because you load a new ios release.

    Hi ..
    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings
    No data is lost due to a reset.

    HI, there
    My macbook's  (core duo)camera not working after installing show leopard, can you advice if I need some other updates or anything to make it work?

        Hi purduejatt,  I apologize for the delayed response as I understand how important it is to have a working camera!  I would suggest clearing the data in the Camera application.  Press Menu>Settings>Application Manager>All>Camera>Clear data.  Please keep me updated on the status as I would be more than happy to provide additional support.

    i've tried photobooth, ichat, skype and it doesn't show up anywhere. in fact, when i go to system profiler, it doesn't show isight under USB connections at all.
    just to give you a recap of what i've tried so far:
    * restarting (obviously)
    * resetting PRAM/SMC (by booting it the way it was specified in the isight troubleshooting thing)
    * just shutting down my computer and taking the battery out for several hours
    any Help pls
    because i mast to use it as soon as possible in a conference

    *A few suggestions.........*
    Try running repair permissions from your HD and afterwards run +repair disk+ from your software install DVD.
    my isight camera is not working-not recognized with photo booth or ichat
    To fix your iSight, shut down computer. Reboot in safe mode (press power button and then hold shift key down). After computer boots, restart again. Hopefully, your iSight will start working again.

  • Camera not working after updating to Mavericks

    Hi,
    After updating to OS x Mavericks my webcam is not working anymore.
    I tested it with photobooth and skype but its not working.
    Please advice.
    Cheers,
    Chinmaya

    Use Apple's http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
    To find out what you need to fix, you may need to test more than one Apple app in more than  one user account.
    All works for me, but you may need to update to the latest Skype (Skype_6.9.0.517).

  • ISight Camera not working after Leopard install

    On my 1st gen Intel 20" iMac, after the Leopard upgrade -- which went very smoothly -- my iSight camera no longer works. I have tried it in Photo Booth and iChat Video and it is the same in each, so it is the camera, apparently, not the application using it.
    In the self-viewing screen on my iMac, I see myself for just a second or so, then I fade out quickly and there is nothing to see but black. If I shine a desk lamp in my face, then I can just barely see the outline of my image but the picture is mostly black. It seems like an exposure problem: the camera seems to adjust, shutting down as though I am very brightly lit but since I am not, it produces only a black picture.
    I also have a 1st gen Intel white MacBook that I have also upgraded to Leopard. The iSight camera seems to work just fine on that computer. I tried out the video in Photo Booth and it worked great.
    Any ideas?

    Hi,
    I too am having the same problem, and I'm using the old school iSight camera and immediately after installing Leopard, it won't work. I can't even power up the camera. It will power up for about 3 seconds then power down as fast as the little green light came on. It was fine about an hour before the 10.5 install. I powered down and unplugged everything for about 10 mins. then plugged it all back in, and still not working. So I am back to the drawing board trying to sort this out. If anyone has anymore thoughts on this, pls. chime in. All the suggestions seem to work for you folks after a little tweak. I even booted into OF mode and reset-nvram and reset-all for kicks to give it an even fresher start.
    thanks!

  • Built in Factetime HD Camera not working after SSD upgrade

    Hey guys,
    So I went ahead and removed my optical drive and replaced it with a 2nd drive caddy bay and an SSD. I've rechecked all my wiring and everything twice and disconnected everything and reconnected it to make sure it's all correct, and it is.
    Here's my issue
    My Facetime HD camera is saying "camera is not connected" in all applications. Skype, Facetime, Photobooth, iMovie, and even under USB in "System Information" it's not showing up. My computer is completely up to date (All software updates have been performed), and I've reset my SMC, and NVRAM multiple times with no result.
    A breakdown of what I've done these past few days:
    I added a 2nd drive caddy and installed the SSD there, and made that my system disk drive (OSX is running from that drive). I formatted the old drive and it's still in its original location.
    Any idea of what is wrong or how to fix the problem?

  • External iSight Camera not working after update installed?

    a couple of weeks ago I turned on iChat and up popped a window that said i needed to update the (external) iSight camera i had plugged into my minimac (firewire). followed the instructions and did just that. little greenlight glowed happily, rotated lens and opened iChat--little green light blinked off and then iChat showed that the camera was not turned on. tried turning it on and off by rotating the lens, unplugging firewire and also restarted computer...no change. looked for update to firmware and downloaded 1.0.3, only to be told it does not work with OS 10.4 (bummer).
    had a back up camera, plugged that in and no problems...trouble is roomate recently got the pop-up screen when he was using it and, thinking he was doing me a favor, 'updated'...so now have 2 cameras that do not work and no answers to be found on the posts or the apple support site.
    any ideas?

    Welcome to Discussions, johnboysf
    (1) Assuming you are not ANY having other problems with your Macs and that your Mac OS X Maintenance is up to date, you can concentrate on the iSight part of your system(s).
    Restart your Mac with no unnecessary peripherals connected and try the suggestions here:
      http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=93240
    (2) If your iSight still does not work with any app, check for Possible hardware or software conflicts with iSight.
    (3) I cannot tell whether your mini is an iNtel or PPC. Apply the appropriate Combo Updater as follows if you still have the problem:
    • Backup your Home Folder, or at very least, your important files.
    • Repair permissions. (Click here if you need help.)
    • For PPC, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update (PPC).
    • For iNtel, download and apply the Mac OS X 10.4.10 Combo Update v1.1 (Intel).
    • Finish with another Permissions Repair, and then check your iSight again.
    Users have reported fixes to a variety of audio, video, connectivity, and software conflicts and unreliability issues after properly applying Combo Updates.
    (4) If your problem persists after trying all of the above, the problem may be with your iSight itself. The fact that you got that notification after you had previously been using your iSight successfully under OS 10.4.x, and the fact that the updater ran for you and your roommate under OS 10.4.x, makes me think there may be something wrong with your iSights. The Tiger (10.4.x) OS includes all the necessary earlier update (including iSight Firmware 1.0.3) and installs the Firmware update if necessary at the time you installed Tiger or first connected your iSight. Therefore, the Firmware update should be unnecessary and should not have been identified by Software Update... as being needed (unless someone has improperly thrown away some OS X files.)
    As you note, iSight Firmware 1.0.3 will not run except on Mac OS X v10.3.7-10.3.9 (or, it now seems, if something is wrong.) If you have access to a Firewire-equipped Mac that is using one of these OSs, you can try applying the update to your iSights using that Mac.
    (5) If you cannot find a Mac that is still using Panther, or if applying the update does not resolve your problem, contact your Apple Authorized Service Provider for professional service. Ask your AASP if he wants to see your Macs, too, to check whether their software has been modified or damaged.

  • Itouch4 front camera not working after ios 5.0.1 update

    Please help

    I have the same problem and I've tried everything!!! There are sooo many people with this same problem but Apple can't help anyone that isn't under warranty anymore!!! This is a big problem for many people that Apple should recognize and offer replacements or solutions for. It's only after the update that my camera stopped working (and this is also true for many other ipod touch users). This issue is obviously caused by Apple either making faulty hardware, software, or both. I really hope that they will resolve this issue soon because it is not fair for those who are no longer covered by the warranty.

  • Camera not working after update ios5

    My son has the 3gs iphone. After updating to new ios5 a few weeks ago, his camera stopped working. It will take a picture but it shows as a blank photo and he lost all the pictures he had on the phone as well. He just got the phone the end of Sept so he had no other back up or restore at the time of the update.
    We tried to restore to original setting and has not worked. Any suggestions?

    You might be out of luck... PlayBook support officially ended a couple months ago if I recall...

  • Camera not working after Yosemite Install 10.10.1 Macbook Pro early 2008

    After installing Yosemite the camera does not work or even show up in system report. It appears not to be recognized at all by the OS. I have tried all of the suggested reset processes but no change. Any ideas?

    dannfort wrote: ... OS X Yosemite (10.10.1)...
    Your OS X Yosemite (10.10.1) is not the latest version.
    Even if you have already updated to 10.10.2 by a different method, do the following:
    • Restart Mac, repair disk permissions, then download and install OS X Yosemite 10.10.2 Combo Update.
    • Repair permissions again following the restart that completes the Combo Update.  Then try your camera again.

  • FaceTime Camera Not Working After Yosemite Upgrade

    So After I upgraded to Yosemite yesterday, my FaceTime Camera stopped working.
    Every time I turned on FaceTime or Photo Booth, the green light on the camera started to blink like crazy but nothing would show up on the screen. It was just black. And I tried different user too, not working.
    I tried to reinstall Yosemite, no luck.
    Tried to rest SMC and PRAM, no luck.
    Tried safe boot, no camera in safe mode.
    Tried repair disk permission, no luck.
    Here is how it showed in system report, I thought it would be more details?
    I am using MBP with Retina late 2013 model. I am 90% positive that the camera was working before this upgrade.
    I don't know whether anyone else encounter the same problem and I am afraid it's something I installed that's causing the problem. In that case, even a clean install works fine, after I restore everything from Time Machine, the problem might just come back.
    Thanks!

    You have done the right things.  With all you have tried, some third party item you have added is a very good guess as to what could be causing your trouble.  The biggest difficulty will be determining which installation caused the trouble.
    I am certainly not experiencing your problem on any of my 10.10 Macs.
    geoffreysong wrote: ... In that case, even a clean install works fine, after I restore everything from Time Machine, the problem might just come back...
    Right again!  The way to prevent reinstalling the problem (and to prove your guess was correct) is to reinstall OS X using the OS X Yosemite: Erase and reinstall OS X instructions.
    Next, before adding anything else, test your camera using the applicable suggestions from Apple's How to Troubleshoot iSight article.  (Over time, Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
      • If the camera works now, your suspicion is correct.  You can then add ONE needed app FROM ITS ORIGINAL SOURCE (not from any of your backups) and test the camera again.  If the camera fails, you have found the problem app.  If the camera works, continue adding apps one at a time, testing thoroughly between each addition.  After all your apps are added back, if your camera continues to work correctly, you can copy your data files back from your latest backup.
      • If the camera doesn't work immediately when nothing has been added to your fresh Mac OS X installation, you most likely have a hardware problem.  There are no user serviceable parts of the camera.  Contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service.
