Ipod touch camera does not open

have ipod touch, model PC547ZP version 5
upgraded to OS 5 had all worked till other day now the camera will not open.
tried powering on and off with no change
know can restore but conserned might lose data etc
anyone know of anything I can do to resovle this other than resetting it

Maybe this can resolve it (you should normally not lose data following this method):
1) Sync your iPod touch with iTunes (iTunes will also create a backup automatically).
2) Reset your iPod touch: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1430
3) Restore your iPod touch from backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1414

  • Ipod touch camera will not open and bottom is flickering.

    So, this has happened before. A long time ago, last year, my ipod had water damage. So i turned it off, left it in rice for a few days and it worked again. It's been working for about a year up until now again. As far as i know, the ipod has had no water damage what-so-ever since then. But, just to be sure, I immediately turned it off and put it in rice. That didn't solve the problem. So I went online and people said If I updated my ipod software to ios.5 then it would resolve the problem... It didn't. I've turned my ipod off for days and turned it back on to still find the problem. I've even reset my ipod 5 times. I don't know what to do... When I press the camera, it's either all black or the shutter is closed. And almost always at the bottom, the camera/video slider is flickering. Please please please help.
    And, it's never been broken or cracked, and protected when dropped... So I doubt it's a hardware problem

    - Have you tried just restoreing the iPod to factorydefaults/new iPOd?
    - Also see this previous long-running discussion

    - The problem may be due to the previous liquid intrusion.  Sometimes it can take awhile for some damage to occur.

  • My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes.  I've removed and reinstalled itunes, stopped and started apple mobile services and changed out cables.  Ipod is charging when connected.  I've also done a complete rollback to factory defaults.

    My ipod touch 4g does not show in Windows 7 or itunes, I've removed and reinstalled Itunes.  I've done a factory default, and I've changed out cables. The ipod shows connected but does not show.

    Did you remove and reinstall all the Apple software by:
    Removing and reinstalling iTunes, QuickTime, and other software components for Windows Vista or Windows 7
    Run this to see if it helps determine the cause

    Last, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • IPod Touch (4) does not automatically fetch email

    My iPod Touch 4 does not fetch email unless I force it to. Push is off and my mail accounts are all working (MobileMe & Gmail).
    I've tried everything and the device just sits there, even though it is set to fetch new emails every 15 minutes.
    Any idea why? Also, does auto-lock interfere with fetch?
    Cheers!

    I believe you need to have "Push" turned on. Try that and see what happens

    You buy one and only one download.
    As it should have been transferred to your computer when you synced, you can contact itunes support and ask for an exception.
