IPod Touch 4g Camera freezes whenever I switch to front camera

Recently bought a used 32gb iPod touch from a friend and its a minor flaw for what I paid , anyway the camera app freezes whenever I try to do a FaceTime camera picture or during FaceTime I show up as black to the person I'm with . Anyway is it a simple fix or do I have to send it out to get fixed.

My camera always freezes when I try to switch to front camera view. How can I fix this?

The original camera app on my iPod touch does not work. The camera shutter would not open. I purchased and downloaded another camera app and it works- only the camera freezes when Itouch the icon in top left corner to get it to switch to front camera view. Has anyone had this problem? If so is there something I can do to correct it?

Have you tied the standard fixes:
- Reset:
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults.
- Also look at this long-running previous discussion on your problem.

Hi jenny,
Are you certain that they are both running IOS 6.1.3? Go to Settings>General>About, and check the "Version".

How much free storage space is available on your iPod Touch?
When restoring your iPod Touch with iTunes, did you restore from the backup for the iPod Touch or as a new iPod Touch?
If the former and the problem lies with the data included with the backup, restoring from the backup will also restore the problem putting you right back where you started.

My iphone 4 camera shutter won't open. I have already done a restore and I am using the latest iOS. The front facing camera works during FaceTime but crashes when I switch to rear camera. in Camera mode I can't switch to front camera.

I plan on replacing this phone with an iphone 5s when it comes out but I need this phone to work until then.

When you did the restore, did you restore from a backup or restore as new? The final step of user troubleshooting is to restore as a new device, not from a backup. If you restore as a new device and the camera still does not function, it is probably a hardware issue. Make an appointment at the Apple Store Genius Bar and have the device checked by a Genius.

IPod touch 4th generation freezes

My iPod Touch has just frozen at the start screen when the slider was slid across to the right. It stayed there, the clock time stopped advancing and it will not respond to anything. I cannot slide it back, turn it off, slide the camera button up to open the camera or get any other response. When I plug it into the power to charge it does not react. When I plug it into the computer iPhoto opens - so it recognises it as a camera and the photos on the iPod show but if I try to download them iPhoto quits. iTunes does not open and when I open it, though the iPod shows in the side bar and the contents of the iPod show, they will not interact. When I try to access the apps in iTunes, iTunes freezes (spinning beach-ball) and I had to use force quit.
Any tips?

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

IPod touch 4g keeps freezing while typing

(iPod touch 4th gen, three weeks old). Seriously I'm getting so angry, it freezes whenever I try to type, or to type a simple 2/3 lined message will take MINUTES. It's like my keyboard can't think fast enough. It's not just iMessage it's anything involving typing. (internet, facebook, twitter, whatever). Yes I've restarted it many times. One time recently it went all crazy and tried to restart several times, randomly restarting and struggling to turn back on while I just let it sit there. Then it froze on my lock screen (couldn't even go dark) and wouldn't play music, even though the play button was pressed.
I know all about shutting background apps and I've tried turning iMessage off and on again, deleting my inbox, checking too make sure my iPod has enough memory left and isn't overloaded (7.2 GB available and 6.5 being used) and my software is up-to-date with the iOS 6.1.3
PLEASE help me, I am so frustrated!
Also, I've done a lot of searching before asking a question, so I'll be slightly ****** if it's just that llaass guy telling me to restore it

I am moving my iTunes to a new laptop (from XP to 7). I can sync my iPod Classic but my iPod Touch 2nd Gen freezes.

Hi,
I have an old laptop running WinXP Home SP3 with iTunes 10.2x installed. I sync my old iPod Classic120GB and a newer iPod Touch 2nd Gen 8GB. I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro. I am moving everything to the new one. I did not have a problem with the old iPod. But when I tried to sync the Touch it just freezes while trying to backup the existing contents. I have read a few support docs and have tried some of them where I have to tweak some of Window's Admin tools. I have also uninstallled and installed iTunes. There are so many things to try in the troubleshooting steps that I can't really figure out which is which. I also can't backup the contents of my current iPod Touch by attaching the device and right-clicking on it. The Backup context menu just isn't there.
I currently have iTunes v10.3x and I need some "serious" help. :-) I did the Run Diagnostic with the device attached. I looked at the report and saw something that might be the cause. I am running iTunes not as the administrator. But if I try to run it as an admin, the Library is now different and I'm just "scared" to screw things up some more.
Thank you.
Horace
P.S. Should I send the diagnostic report? Is it safe? If not what info should I exclude? Thanks.

" When I did this, my library showed all the music I have "purchased" from itunes but did not have the music that I downloaded a long time ago through itunes from my old CDs."
Correct.
" How can I get that music to show up in my library now on my new computer? "
Copy it from your old computer or your backup copy of your old computer.
The sync is one way - computer to ipod.

Itunes recognizes my ipod touch, but my computer still thinks it's a camera (and the drive only has pictures as a result; no music).

I recently bought a new laptop with Windows 7, and wanted to transfer my music from my old laptop onto it. Itunes on my new laptop would only let me transfer purchases, and not music that I got from CDs. So, seeing as I didn't have any sort of storage device handy to back up my old itunes library onto, I decided to just transfer my music straight from my ipod touch to my new laptop. I had done this many times before both for myself and for friends, so I was familiar with the process. What you do is you make sure that hidden files can be viewed, and you select "manually manage music..etc" in itunes so your device shows up as its own drive in My Computer. Then you click on that and you should find your music folders. Unfortunately, because my computer recognizes my iPod touch as a digital camera, the folders only had my pictures, and none of my music. I tried to update the driver and change it to usbaapl, the Apple Mobile Device USB driver. However, my device manager keeps saying: "The best driver software is already installed" or something like that. The driver Windows automatically installs is MTP USB device. I've tried uninstalling it but as soon as I plug my ipod back in it just re-installs the wrong driver again. So, is there any fix to this problem or will I just have to go invest in a flash drive to transfer my music?

Startng wth the iPhone and iPod Touch, Apple stopped supportng "disc mode" (and that's why your iPod Touch isn't "Aplle format" or "Windows format"). You access the musc, apps, calendars, etc. through iTunes, and you access the photos through the camera interface.
Windows is not "installing the wrong driver" you are just assuming that the device operates in a way that the newer devices no longer support. There are some 3rd party aps that will allow you to sync music from your iPod to your PC, but I have never used them so I can't tell you how well they work. I do seem to recall that XPlay2 was one of the names that supposedly supported doing that though...
