Ipod touch 5g front camera not focusing

The front camera (the one you facetime on) has stopped focusing, so the picture is always a bit blurry. It used to work ok. Can anyone help?

My iPod touch 5 front camera isn't working, how do I fix it?

My I pod touch 5 front camera isn't working. How can I fix it. I have also already tried to reset it multiple times.

If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working.

Hiya, my ipod touch 4th generation cameras are not working. I had the screen replaced about a month ago and it was working fine. I woke up the other day and went on my camera and it had stopped working, it won't let me change from the front to back camera so i don't know what the problem is: now all it shows when i go on the camera app is the shutter or a black screen. I have tried the advice people have said but it hasn't seemed to work. Any help would be appreciated!

However, it other than Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider did the previous screen replacement , Apple will not help.
For the future, saying that you tried the advice people have said, provides us with zero information as to what yu tried.

Ipod touch 5g main camera will not open

Brand new Ipod touch 5g. Camera will not not open, facetime camera works fine. I have tried reset.

UPDATE
I restored the iPod via my Mac, downloading a new software file from iTunes. After that, it works fine. Updating to iOS 8.02, the new iTunes, and Yosemite worked to fix this issue.

Get a replacement cable. If still under warranty, Apple will replace the cable.

PC thinks my iPod Touch is a camera

Whenever I plug my iPod Touch into its USB port, the PC (which is running WindowsXP) gives me a window with 3 choices. I can either "launch" 1) the ABBYY FineReader (which looks like scanning software), 2) the Microsoft Scanner and Camera Wizard, or 3) Picassa 3. I suppose there is a 4th choice which is to do nothing and that's what I usually do.
I recently upgraded to iTunes 10.5, which might've been a mistake. I don't recall whether my iPod showed up under DEVICES with the previous version, but I don't think I ever had any trouble finding it. Now, DEVICES doesn't even show up on the left-hand column in iTunes. I followed some instructions that were suggested for a question similar to mine. The result was that iTunes wanted to "Restore" my iPod, i.e. restore it to its factory settings and (I presume) wipe out any apps or content I already managed to put on it. It didn't show the "name" of my iPod or any other information about it, like I remember seeing on a similar screen on my PC before (most likely in the previous version of iTunes).
If I look under My Computer in Windows, the iPod is visible and even shows the "name" we gave it the way iTunes used to. The trouble is that My Computer recognizes it as a "Digital camera." If I double-click on it, I see the two pictures I've transfered from the PC to the iPod but nothing else. If I try dragging an mp3 file into that window, nothing happens.
So I suppose I have 2 questions:
1) How do I get my PC to recognize my iPod Touch as an iPod instead of a camera?
and
2) How do I get DEVICES to show up in iTunes without wiping out the existing Apps and downloaded content?
What I would really like to do is move some music and some podcasts from my PC to the iPod Touch, but right now all I can move are pictures. That is why this question has the title is does and I'm hoping answers to the above questions will allow me transfer mp3 files, which is my ultimate goal.
Thanks for any help anyone can offer!

I went to the link you posted and followed all the steps. I was thrilled to see that it worked! I don't recall whether my PC still recognized my iPod Touch as a camera or not, but DEVICES did show up in iTunes and it recognized the name of my iPod Touch.
Now, though, everything is back the way it was. The PC tells me I have a camera connected via USB and iTunes doesn't even have DEVICES listed in the left-hand column.
I'm wondering if this is the problem: I had the iPod on until the battery was so "low" that it stopped. I didn't press and hold the button on top. In fact, until I read the article you linked to, I didn't even know you could turn the iPod on and off that way. I would only press it once until the screen turned blank and simply pressed the Home buttom to turn it back on. Until I read that article, I thought the Home button was the On button.
So now my question is this: Should I ALWAYS turn the iPod off by pressing and holding the button on top until I see the red slider on the screen?
Thanks!

Windows XP only recognizes iPod Touch as a camera.

There are older discussions on this topic here, but they did not solve my problem. So I thought I would post what finally worked for me.
For some reason my PC started thinking my iPod Touch was a camera. Despite what I have seen elsewhere, it was not due to my having pictures on the device... there are none.
Others have talked about the need to update the ipod device driver, but Windows XP w/ Serivce Pack 3 does not allow me to do that.
I noticed that the Apple USB Driver was missing, and could not get it replaced until I found this at http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538
Update the Apple Mobile Device Driver
Right-click the Apple Mobile Device entry in Device Manager and choose Update Driver from the shortcut menu.
If asked to connect to Windows Update to search for software, choose "No, not this time."
Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" and click Next.
Select "Don't search. I will choose the driver to install". Then click Next.
Click the Have Disk button. Note: If the Have Disk option is not present, choose a device category such as Mobile Phone or Storage Device if listed, and click next. Then the Have Disk button should appear.
Click the Browse button, then navigate to the following location: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Apple\Mobile Device Support\Drivers.
Double-click the usbaapl file.
Click OK in the Have Disk window. Then click Next. Click Finish. Windows installs the driver.

Hi w!cked,
If your PC only recognizes your iPod touch as a camera and it doesn't show up in iTunes, try downloading and installing the latest version of iTunes. You can download iTunes 8.1.1 from here: http://www.apple.com/itunes/download/
If the issue persists, make sure the USB drivers are installed properly as described here: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1538

HT1476 Help!!! Please!!! iPod touch 8gb w/camera (older model) won't charge :(

Have an older model iPod touch 8gb w/camera that will not charge. I know it's not the cord or the device we are using to charge it because ithas been working to charge it before and it charges all our other ipod devices.
An example of what it does.The battery will show that it needs to be charged in the upper right corner, it'll be red. So we will plug the iPod in to charge. Even if it's plugged in all night long, it doesn't charge. The green battery icon that used to be on the screen when it was plugged in, no longer shows up. Also, the battery icon in the upper right corner doesn't change from red and doesn't show it's plugged in. I have tried to holdoing down the power and home button to reset the device. I'm not sure what else to try. Are there places to take your iPod for repair or should I contact apple? HELP!!!!! PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

- See the not-charging topic of:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
- Does iTunes see the iPod when you connect to your computer?
- Look at the dock connector on the iPod. Look for abnormalities like bent or corroded contacts, foreign material and cracked or broken plastic.
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
