HT201406 Ipod touch 5th generation front camera not working?

Ive had my ipod for at least 3-4 months now, and just today my front camera stopped working! I go to my camera app, (the built in one) and it defaults to the back camera. when I tap the little switch icon, I get a blurry, and sometimes black, screen. as if the shutter isnt opening. I have updated the ios software and shut down the ipod multiple times. I really dont want to reset the ipod because it will delete my apps.

Ipod touch 5th gen tilt function not working

Hi
I recently got a replacement (from apple) for my Ipod Touch 5th Gen 64gb due to the home button being broken. It is running the latest software which I believe is IOS 8.1.1
Note - other than the broken button I had absolutely no issues with my old Ipod.
When I received the Ipod only 3 days ago I did the normal process of restoring from back up etc but have noticed that the tilt function is not working.
I have tried all the obvious solution - first being checking portrait orientation isn't locked, then resetting the Ipod via holding down lock and home button and finally I have done a factory reset and still have had no luck with this issue. Is there an easy fix to this or am I going to have to go back to the Apple store?
Thanks

If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

Ipod touch 5th gen front camera/flashlight stopped working?

when i open up the camera app it just freeze and turns me back to main menu. flashlight didnt work either
i did a research on the forums and foudn some solutions, and i managed to get the front camera one time to work. but i couldnt get it anymore. what i did it was just to press where the picture below shows
https://discussions.apple.com/servlet/JiveServlet/downloadImage/2-24486657-36235 8/170-296/iphone.jpg
and it worked just for one time like i said
do any of you think there's maybe something disconnected after a fall? or does it needs hardware replacement? the device is out of warranty so you think if i open it up i should find a way to fix it?

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 another cable
- 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 5th Gen: Front Camera Broken?

Hi! Hope you're all having nice days!
I have a fifth generation iPod Touch. It's updated to iOS7, and even up to 7.1.1. But sometime shortly before iOS7 even came out, my front camera suddenly stopped working. I don't recall dropping the iPod before the incident or anything like that. But I was hoping someone here could help me.
I've had this problem for at least half a year now, and I've read through countless threads and ideas, and I've tried just about everything to fix my front camera, but nothing seems to work.
I've tried soft resets, resetting my whole iPod, installing other camera apps, pressing down where the wires might have disconnected, and even calling Apple support.
I read an idea about taking the iPod apart and reconnecting the wires that someone theorised might have split, but I'm not sure how that would have even happened with my iPod.
I'd really just like some idea of what to do before I try to dismantle my iPod and potentially damage it even further.
If it's any further clarification, the screen has no cracks, the front camera is not covered, and my iPod has not been jailbroken or anything like that.
Thank you so much, and hope you have a nice day.

Hello again.
Sorry to bump this topic, but upon seeing the staggering amount of views this question has received and the numerous other threads people have made in regards to this same issue, I was wondering if someone could tell me if Apple has developed any remedy to this frequent problem.
If the the only reply is still to take my out-of-warranty iPod to the Genius Bar and have them tell me to either pay for a new warranty or to purchase a new iPod/phone, please keep in mind that I am looking to repair my iPod. Not replace. Especially when this is a well-known problem of Apple products. Unfortunately, I have even heard of this problem in the 5C models, and that really makes the upgrade not worth it.
If there are any developments in a method to fix the problem at hand, please do help to inform the public.
Here's to hoping someone has good news and that everyone has/is having a very lovely holiday.
Thank you for your time and help.

Ipod touch 5th Gen App Store not working

I just reset my ipod touch and I am trying to login to the App Store, I am already logged into my icloud that I used before resetting my ipod, I tried to log in but it said it didn't exist, so I got on my laptop and made a new account, and when I tried to log in, again it said it didn't exist. So I decided to try and make a new one again on my phone, but everytime I typed in an email it said it existed already I even typed in random letters and numbers several times and it still says the ID is in use.I am going on a vacation soon and I want games to play

What was the exact working of the message? "didn't exist," does not seem like an error mssage.
Does the iPod connect to the internet via Safari?

IPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB Camera

My friend has the iPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB version with back camera and was purchased when it was released,
I want to buy the iPod Touch 5th Gen 16GB version and now it seems Apple has removed the back camera on the 16GB version, is there anywhere I can buy the 16GB version with back camera brand new?

The 5G iPod was originally introduced with 32 and 64 GB capacities. Both had front and back cameras. At that time a 16 GB 4G (poorer cameras and other things) was also released. This year a 1g GB 5G withour back camera was released.There was never a 1g GB 5G with both camera.

Why does the iPod Touch 5th gen 16 GB, not have a rear-facing camera?

I am looking to replace my daughter's iPod Touch 4th Gen 16GB, but I can not find a model like hers that has a rear-facing camera. The new 5th gen 16GB, only has a front-facing camera, where the 32GB and the 64GB have front-facing and rear-facing cameras.
My question is, why is that?

lllaass said it, because thats the budget version, its much cheaper. The 16GB costs 229$ and the other ones with the back facing camera 319$ or 419$.
Apple always sold a budget version of the iTouch.
With the 2G in 2008, the 8GB was much cheaper than the 16 or 32 GB.
With the 3G in 2009, the parallel kept the 8GB 2G for a reduced price.
The 8GB 4G in 2010 was also cheaper than the 32 or 64GB one.
In 2012 - June 2013 they kept the 4G iPod next to the 5G.
And now the only sell one model - which is the 5G due to the fact that only this model can run iOS 7, and they needed to remove a feature in order to reduce the price.

Trying to upload to youtube a 16:9 video through my ipod touch 4th gen and its not working.

Hey i have managed to download the Imovie for the Ipod touch 4th Gen, I can't seem to export or upload to youtube a 16:9 screen just a very thin screen. I don't have a apple mac, I have windows vista. I realise for some features you have to use a apple mac. So is there anyway that I can fix this problem, thank you for your time and patience.

HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! My ipod touch 5th gen 60GB will not respond to charge or turn on!!!!!!!!!!!!

My ipod classic will not turn on! I have tried plugging it to a charger. I have tried to press the menu and the center button at the same time and it dosen't work. Although my middle button is stuck and you have to press it hard it has always responded and worked when you pressed it.! Please help me I need this iPod to start working!!!

Very confusing post - Do you have an iPod Touch as listed in the header or an iPod Classic?
To Reset, you must press the menu and center button for at least 10 secs or till the Apple Logo comes ON.
When you connect to a wall charger or PC, what do see on the iPod Screen?

IPod Touch 5th Gen charging cable wont work

So I got my iPod Touch last year around in November... about 3 months later my lightning to usb cable started playing up on me, (my cable was the one i got in the package BTW) it would only let me charge in a specific position for about 2 weeks and I noticed some little bumps on the pin point of the charger.. after 2 weeks my cable just completely stopped charging my iPod. So I went back to the Apple store and bought a new lightning to usb cable and i took very good care of it. Now its playing up on me AGAIN! It has only been about 2 motnhs since I bought it and yet again it has those little wrinkly bumps on it. Now my cable has little holes and I have absolutely no clue how it got there. I thought this was just my cable and that I just have bad luck but my friend had the same problem with her lightning to usb cable for her iPod 5 too. I dont think there is anything you can do but I just wanted to make sure Apple has been aware of this incident! Thanks!

Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. The cable is covered by the same one-year warranty as the iPod itself
