IPod Nano 5g, the video camera doesn't work.

Everytime i click on the camera the screen goes black and the ipod freezes.
What can i do to fix this problem???

Try a hard reset first.  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center ) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  If still no luck, connect the Nano to your iTunes library and click the Restore button from underneath the Nano's Summary tab.
Otherwise, the issue is likely hardware related, meaning you'll need to have your iPod serviced.

  • The Videos application doesn't work in my ipod touch

    The Videos application doesn't work and movies cannot be played on both my 3rd and 4th generation ipod touches

    Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or contact AppleCare and get a replacement set of headphones under your warranty.

  • IPod Nano using the new Camera Connector

    I resently purchased an iPod Nano and a new Camera Connector direct from Apple. Before I did this I checked the compatability issue with both the camera and the camera connector, and with the Nano and the camera connector. All the adds at the Apple store state that the camera connector works with all ipods that have a color screen. When I connect them the screen on the ipod states "The currently attached accessory is not supported by this iPod". They advertise that you can store 25,000 photos in a Nano. Did I waste my money on a Nano and camera connector. (I already had a 4G 20GB iPod with an older Belkin Camera connector)

    Yes, you may have wasted your money on the camera connector. The problem is that the camera connector has been out for a while and, at the time it was made, the only color iPods were full sized ones, and the camera worked with them. So, what they advertised was true up to the time until the Nano was released.
    Now, Apple has released the Nano, which technically is a color iPod, and it dosen't work with the camera connector. The problem is that they haven't changed the advertising for other products to account for limitations of the Nano yet.

  • Video camera doesn't work after ios7... Update! This *****!

    ***? Updated to iOS 7, video doesn't work when I use camera ap!

    Nice one, Apple. Swipe to change between camera and video and disable tapping on the word "video" because tapping makes sense and is easy enough for even a 5 year old to understand. Don't be Microsoft and make things harder to use. Keep the swipe if it satisfies your sense of feeling all modern and relevant, but put back the tap on "camera" and "video" so we don't have to Google it to figure it out and leave irate notes in your product forums. Missed a really cute video of my toddler singing thanks to you.

  • Ipod nano displays apple icon and doesn't work

    I bought this nano as a gift (I already have an identical one). There were no problems syncing the content and registering the device, but once it is disconnected from the system, if you navigate to a song on the device and hit "[play", the screen goes black and will only display an apple icon.
    I returned the first one thinking it's a hardware issue, but the replacement is doing the exact same thing, leading me to believ it is a setting or software issue. I got the replacement in a completely different Best Buy too, just to try and get one from a different batch. Any ideas what's going on?

    Make sure you are using the latest version of iTunes and the Ipod's firmware is up to date.
    Make sure the "screen lock" is not set to on. Make sure the hold button at the top of iPod Nano is in the "off" position.

  • My iPod got wet, now front camera doesn't work

    My iPod was in my pocket for a day when it was heavily raining like 2 months ago so I started checking if it was okay but it was wet so I wiped it and when I went on the camera the back camera was a bit weird but that went back to normal the same day, however my front camera is still broken. When I go to go on the front camera, the screen freezes and if I try to go on it through another app like snapchat or a photo editing app it either won't give me the option to do so or it will crash the app. Can this be fixed or do I have to just carry on with it not working?

    The iPod has been water damaged...there is no way you can fix the problem.  When it gets to be too annoying, or other functions fail, take it to an Apple store to get an out-of-warranty replacement.  That will typically cost $99-249 in the US depending on the model and storage capacity.

  • TS1382 my ipod nano's (4th generation) keyboard doesn't work! but all other things do, SOMEONE CAN HELP ME PLEASE?

    my nano 4gen 8gb has a problem, it's keyboard doesn't work!! I have to shake it because of that and my hand is tired of that u.u does someone know how to fix it??

    Did you do a restart or a reset?
    Do a reset (Hold Sleep/Wake and Home buttons about 10 secs or more till Apple logo appears)
    If that didn't help, you have to write to/wait for the developer to update the software.

  • Canon mini Disk camera doesn't work if external drive connected

    A long story.      Anyway, I have a MacPro Intel Dual Core 266 Ghz with 5 Gbs RAM,  4 internal hard drives HD1~HD4 (HD1 OSX 250 and three 500Gb) and two external HD5 (two partitions~HD5 & Time Machine Backups) and HD6 (1 Tb each).
    I've been using a Canon mini DV video camera FV-M10 (Firewire 400) for live video (Skype/iChat) and also for importing video into Final Cut Express, After Effects or iMovie up until a few days ago.  Both "live" video and from the recorded mini cassette tape.  Then all of a sudden not one of the software recognized my camera anymore.  I tried both Firewire 800/400 and USB2 connections using a few different cables. In Skype...(sometimes) it automatically shows the name FV-M10 in the camera slot, but the screen is black.  No, I checked if I left the cover on.  I checked my Sony WX-5 digital camera and see if that is recognized.  Yes, both pics and AVCHD videos are seen using the USB connection. 
    The problem started like this.
    I was downloading a file.  Had to work for an hour and when I came back upstairs.  I noticed that the screen was frozen.   So, I shut the Mac down.  And when I started it again, well nothing happened except for a grey screen.  A half~sized cursor was stuck up in the top left.  But, my mouse also had a cursor which was movable.  
    It wouldn't even recognize the OSX Install Disk holding down "C" or "Option".  Only starting with "Shift" held down, "Safe Boot"  could I use the basics like Mail, Safari, Firefox.   NO sound and no video. Tried a few times as well as cleaned my OSX HD1 hard drive and re-installed from "Safe Boot" mode".   So, I had it sent into Apple Tokyo for repairs.   Apple put in a new board.     Great!      I came it back in two days.   I cleaned the OSX hard drive and re-installed Mac OSX with the up-dates as well and got some of my main backed up stuff Mail, bookmarks, address book etc.   It started fine.     But, when I went to use Skype, iChat, iMovie or Final Cut Express  they still couldn't recognize my camera.  I had been using the Canon FV M10 camera for a few years with both external hard drives on.  There were never any problems until just before I sent it into the shop.
    There was only one way to use my camera.  Un-Plug the external HD6.  Then the camera functions fine.  but remember I had been using this camera with both HD's for around two years without any problems.
    Notes on symptoms:  and what actions I took.  
    Front connections: FW400 Canon camera.  FW800 (Tried connecting HD6)  
    Rear Connections: USB2 1) MidiMan 2 x2   2) mouse  3) Canon Printer
                                   FW400 HD5  FW800 (tried HD6)
    With HD6 Connected.
    iMovie 11 9.02 : Start iMovie  O.K.  No camera on.   Turned camera "on" then "No Camera Connected" notice came up.   (did this a few times)   Turned camera off.   Quit iMovie. 
    2nd start:  Camera On.   iMovie freezes.   Spinning Colored beach ball.   I then Force Quit Option-Apple-ESC
    iMovie shows (not responding)  When I turn off the camera.  (not responding) disappears and iMovie is working again.  But, "No Camera Connected" shows again.  Quit!
    Un-Plugged (Ejected) HD6.
    When I un-plugged HD6,    (tried both the front and rear connections).   iMovie still on.  
    "No Camera Connected"  I Quit iMovie.
    Re-start iMovie:  Camera on… Live video and record miniDV tape can both be seen. 
    Skype:  Both live video and mini DV tape recording even plays back over Skype screen.
    iChat (same as Skype) O.K.
    Since Apple replaced the board 661-3932 Card Video, NVIDIA GeForce 7300 GT which cost just about $X00.00  (¥XX,000).   I assume that they don't also check all the connections etc. I mean from the connector to the video board.
    The call to Apple Tokyo today.  
    Just talked to Apple (Mac) Tokyo about my computer problem.  Seems like they're trying to squeeze their way of more repairs by saying I have a hard drive configuration problem.   But it doesn't seem like that!   I worked with it 2~3 hours today...and  here is the basic problem.
    I've used the Canon FV M10 mini DV camera with Skype, iChat, iMovie and FCEx for few  years  (HD6) is over a year old-the most recent add on) with no problem.    With both external 1Tb hard drives.  And Apple said that it's a 3-party problem.  (different makers etc.)  But, it's NOT!     Yes, they put in a new board.   But, I'd say the problem is from the connection (where I plug the cable into the Mac)  to the board. 
    When I connect HD6 (1Tb ext hard drive).   FW 800 (either back or front connection) the video camera doesn't work in  Skype, iChat, iMovie, or Final Cut Express.     If I eject and Un-Plug HD6  all of them work fine.  The camera "live" or the camera playing back the mini DV tape video.
    Wouldn't this be a problem between the connections (front & back) to the new video board?  Or does anyone have an answer.   Apple seems to have said, "We can't help you".   Please someone help!  thanks

    +My mini isn't responding to startup commands like "C" or "D" from the keyboard.+
    You'll need a wired usb keyboard for these commands to work -- and the Apple Aluminum keyboard won't work either.
    But just about any PC usb keyboard will work. Alt maps to Option and Win-key to CMD.

  • Macbook pro fails to read sd card with movies recorded on it, any ideas? I can view them in the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it.

    My macbook pro is failing to read a new sd card with movies recorded on it. Any ideas please? A previously used SD card has downloaded without problems. I have tried using a card reader as well as downloading from the video camera itself, neither works.
    I can view the latest recordings on the video camera so know they are there somewhere. I am now thinking I should have formatted or initialised the new card before using it but didn't think of that at the time. Obviously don't want to do this now as it will wipe the movies.

  • Front camera doesn't work! Battery dies super fast!

    Hello! I received my ipod touch 5th generation as a bday gift in November 2012 and I'm having a couple of issues with it. First the battery dies really fast. I have wifi on all the time and I dunno if this is the issue, but using music playback for about 4-5 hrs/day and reading/instagram/fb/WWF for like 1-2 hrs, it lasts about 15 - 20 hrs. I think there has to be a problem because my touch 3rd gen lasted longer basically doing the same thing. And if I play a video for <1hr, the battery lasts less than 12 hrs. That's one thing. Also, a couple of times both the front and back camera have frozen up, and for about a week now, the front camera doesn't work. When I switch to it, it closes up as if it's taking a picture, but it never opens up again, it just stays there. This is for video and camera. The front one just doesnt work. PLEASE HELP! I'm obssesed with this thing and I'm really disappointed by these features. I dunno what to do. And the worst is that after I try to switch to the front camera, I can't switch back. I have to restart the ipod to be able to use the back camera, because it just doesn't do anything. 

    For the camera problem
    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: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    -  Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    The battery life you are getting is normal and expected. If you have a concern after doing the above make an appointment at the Genius Bar.

  • Video out doesn't work anymore

    The video out doesn't work properly any more on my G4 12inch powerbook. It had been working fine, but now it doesn't work properly with either of the mini-vga adapters that came with my powerbook. When using the mini-vga to composite/s-video, the image appears on the tv but there is no colour and the picture isn't stable at any resolution over 800 x 600.
    When connecting to a monitor or projector using the mini-vga to VGA adapter, the image appears on the screen etc but the colour is completely wrong (everything is shades of green).
    I can't think of anything that might be the problem, though I did upgrade from 10.3 to 10.4 and I'm wondering is this might be the problem??
    Thanks.

  • Video clips doesn't work in new keynote

    I recently upgraded keynote after installing os x maverick.
    When I opened my previous keynote presentation, the new keynote asked to upgrade the movie quality.
    And you have to click this option, otherwise the video clips will only come out as pictures.
    But now, some of the video clips doesn't work.  The thing is, I do not have the original video files as these are presentations given to me by others.
    What's next for me?

    Having the same problem, would greatlyu appreciate a fix. does it matter if one upgrades to the iOS or Mac Keynote options?

  • Disabling the Video Camera on the IPOD Nano

    Is there a way to disable to video Camera on the 5gen IPOD Nano? I like all of the other features of the 5gen, but need to have the ability to disable the camera.

    After talking with a very helpful and polite customer support agent, I was informed that there is no way to disable the video camera on the 5th Generation Ipod Nano.
    I was then given an address to provide feedback to apple, where a request can be made for inclusion of a disable feature in future software updates or 6th generation Ipod Nano's. This does not guarantee that an update will be provided, but it is the only available option, other than purchasing a 4th generation Ipod Nano.

  • Everytime I try to use the video camera, my ipod automatically restarts???

    Everytime I try to use the video camera, my ipod automatically restarts. I just need to bring the clicker to the Video section on the main menu for it to turn on and off again. I have to scroll over it really fast so it doesn't restart. My dad bought it a few months ago and I just opened it about a week ago. So far, I've synced it once, taken it out out without first ejecting it, and using it on a lamp iHome. Should restoring the ipod do the trick? Is this a common issue with the rest of you?

    Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.
