Ipod 4th Gen camera shutter wont open

I recently updated the Ipod to ios 6.1.6 but the camera shutter wont open and when i save photos from apps like safari it saves them then instantly deletes the photos I just told safari to save. this is my first apple product and to be honest with this much problems i'm actually considering a more Linux based device. but if the apple community can help me in anyway to fix my expensive device it would be appreciated.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost      
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings                            
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:                                               
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.                       
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • Camera shutter wont open to take a pic....???

    camera shutter wont open to take a pic....???

    The most popular thread on this has nearly 25,000 views. Below is the follow-up post I put on that thread and all these related threads.
    If it was just a hardware problem, Apple should fix it for all of us. But I can't quite understand how it's a hardware problem when the problem is not common to all my camera apps; the Apple camera app does not work at all now, but I can take regular pics with other camera apps I have.
    But still, trying to switch to FaceTime/self-portrait mode results in total failure and the need to restart....if it was just a hardware issue I'd expect it to not work for all apps.

    QUOTE: "Dear Apple, many, many problems are being reported about camera malfunctions. One thread in Discussions ishttps://discussions.apple.com/thread/2595775?start=30&tstart=0 that has over 60 complaints and there are several other threads about this, so something is obviously wrong.
    Thanks for your attention to this. Apple is a fine company and hope it continues that way. The camera is a key feature of these products: the iPod Touch and iPhone. Not having the camera work properly is ridiculous. Some software fix needs to become available.
    Sincerely... END QUOTE

    have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why?

    Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
    The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
    Best of luck.

  • Front camera shutter wont open anymore after upgrade to iOS5.1

    i have a less than a month old ipad2...after upgrading to the iOS 5.1 the front camera shutter wont open anymore...did the reset but it didnt work.will downgrading to the 4.3.3 make it work again?? please help...

    You can't downgrade, it's not supported. 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.

  • Cant open ipod 4th gen camera!

    I open the app and the shutter wont open. ive tried restarting and resetting. nothing works. help!

    All I said was the that iPod backup that iTunes makes does not include synced media like apps and music. They should be in yuor iTunes library (and also in a computer backup).
    Yuo apps should be in yuor iTunes library. Besides redownloaing them like I said in my first reply you can transfer them to your iTunes library by:

  • Camera shutter wont open

    I used the camara in my new phone a couple of times, no problem, I got it on Tuesday 7/9, no today I was going to take a pic and the front camera shutter does not open, or it shows a black screem. I have tried face time and the front camera works. I did reset settings and no luck, I forced the app close and nothing, I have also resarted the phone several times with no luck.
    Is it time to go to the apple store for a new one?

    1. Backup and restore the phone in iTunes, using the backup
    2. Restore as new, without using a backup.  If this doesn't help, there is a hardware problem that needs warranty service.

  • My ipod camera shutter wont open

    hey i know that there is alot of discussions about this already but i have tried reseting my ipod, that restarting thing where you hold down the home button and the off button, and restoring it which failed terribly because the back-up failed and i lost all my song videos and apps idk how to get them back however after trying all this the shutter did manage to open but the screen is still black what else can i try?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
