Is it common for the front camer to stop working?

The front camera on my iPod randomly stopped working months ago and I've been to busy to get it fixed or whatever, I don't really know what to do, is this something that should be fixed by apple for free? Or don't have to pay for this?

Maybe I see one or two posts a day for that problem with the 5G iPod.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If the iod is defective and not aboused Apple will exchange it at no cost

    I have done absalutely nothing to my 4g apple ipod touch, and it over heats, won't hold a charge, and the front camera will not work. I bought this brand new in december, and i've barely used it. I've tried restarting it and everything, I honestly think this is out raging because i spend over $200 on this. To have for music and instagram. I use it about an hour a day, but i've only been using it for about 3 months although i've had it since December. Any suggestions that may help me?

    Try:
    - A reset. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory settings/new iPod
    If still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an iMAC. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe about this.  What do I do? Ed

    I have Photoshop CS2 for the MAC and it stopped working on my MAC. I recently bought a new MAC, an IMAC and it doesn't work on that either. There appears to be no way to contact Adobe. What do I do? Thanks, Ed

    That because the activation servers were retired. Now for the good news:
    Adobe has provided a non-activation version of Photoshop CS2 free of charge for their CS2 license holders.
    Download the Mac version of Photoshop (not the suite) and copy down the serial number next to it.  Do not use your original serial number or cs2 disc.
    Download Acrobat 7 and CS2 products
    Uh... one more thing CS2 is PPC only.  OSX 10.6.8 has Rosetta to run legacy PPC products. 10.7 and above will not.
    Good luck,

  • IPhone 4: Is there a solution for the front camera shutter not opening?`

    I have had this problem for the last few weeks,
    the rear camera works fine, but when i select the front camera the shutter remains closed and never opens.
    if i open the front camera frst, the rear doesnt open till i restart it
    i have restored, set up as new iphone and updated the sftware, but the front camera shutter doesnt open and remains closed, i have read online of others having this problem and some suggest changing the camera, which i got someone to do, yet the same fault remains,
    is this a software fault which will be resolved in future updates or does anyomne know how to fix this?
    there is no water damage or knocks , but the phone ios out of warranty,
    many thanks

    I don't think there's anything more you can do.  No way to know if a future update will help but I'm guessing you have a hardware problem that an update won't cure.

  • 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?

  • Ipad4 front camera just stopped working

    My Ipad 4 camera has just stopped working; the rear camera works fine but when you toggle across the whole thing locks?
    three weeks out of warranty; feels like an Apple 'frig' to me!

    Hi Brendan
    Unfortunately that doesn't work; and had already done all the guidance and also tried full resets from the settings as well.
    The rear camera works fine but when you toggle to the front facing camera it blurs the previous rear facing image and then effectively locks the screen and doesn't allow you to toggle back to the rear camera or move between photo/video/square. Even when you close the application it then reboots into a  front screen black image which you can only get out of by rebooting the iPad.
    As I bought this from Apple as a refurbished model and it's 12 months and 3 weeks old which means from an Aplle perspective its out of warranty and any kind of support assistance. It seems the only way I can get support is to spend £25 to get someone from Appleto talk to me.
    The guidance from numerous facebook contributors suggest is it would  be wiser to spend the £25 pursuing Apple for a resolution on the HM Courts Website 'Money Claim Online' as under the UK Sale & Supply of Goods act its reasonable to expect it to continue to work after less than 13 months usage.

  • I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

    I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

    You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
    make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.

  • HOW TO USE THE FRONT CAMERA

    hi all any possible way to use the front camera in n900, coz i cant see any option for the front cam and for basic camera any option for night vision when shooting ? Thx

    It beggers belief as to why have a camera on the front if you cant use it. 
    Because people would probably have complained if it didn't have one at all
    At the end of the day, the issue here is only software. The hardware is already in place.
    You can't easily add hardware to something afterwards without a complete redesign
    It reminds me of the old Nokia 6630. It supported video calling but had no front camera.
    You either had to use the back camera or buy a separate stand to sit the phone in that had a forward facing camera on

  • The front camera of my iphone5 is not working if im going to take selfies. Its only working on facetime. So idont think the front camera itself is defected. Confusing

    its really confusing. I can only use the front camera of my iphone5 for facetime. But if im going to use the camera or third party camera apps like camera 360, wechat,skype etc. the front camera is not working. coz if the front camera is totally defected, it should not be working when using facetime right

    I need help guys. What should i do? I already reset this phone but i still have the same problem

  • 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.

    You don't. Look in the mirror...now raise a hand...get the picture?
    Same thing applies with your phone.

  • Mobile data doesn't work and I can't access the front camera.

    Hi, I received my new Xperia Z3 Compact in white just over a week ago and unfortunately I have few unresolved issued with it which kind of spoils the experience of owning a new phone.
    I  just switched from a number of Iphones and Xperia was the handset that really impressed me.
    I couldn't see the point of getting an overpriced Iphone with a limited storage capability.
    Unfortunately my Xperia Z3c has some issues;
    - I can't get the front camera work
    - I can get my internet only through Wi-Fi and my unlimited 3G data doesn't work at all (T-Mobile U.K)
    - Three Swipe Gesture doesn’t appear to be working as it should on any Android device (I'm told).
    So I am not a very happy user at the moment and slowly starting to miss the Iphone.

    Hi casson50ml,
    Welcome to the community! Since you're new please be sure that you have checked out our Discussion guidelines.
    Sorry to hear about these issues, I would first suggest clearing the data for the camera.
    Menu > settings > Apps > All > Camera > Clear Data
    Once done try using the device.
    In regards to the Internet, try performing an Internet settings download.
    Menu > Settings > More > Internet Settings > Accept Disclaimer > Choose Network.
    Now try using the network data on the handset.
    Can you explain more about the 3 Finger Gesture issue?

    Hi there bananas321,
    You may want to try force closing all open apps and resetting the device as an initial troubleshooting step. Take a look at the articles below for more information.
