Is there any way to fix cameras in 4th generation iPod touches without going to Apple?

I just took my iPod touch's screen to get fixed by a third party because going to Apple would have been more expensive and would have taken longer; however, after getting the iPod back, I realized that neither the front nor back cameras work. I can apparently get the front one to work on FaceTime (I think?) and sometimes on SnapChat, but the back one is a lost cause in any app or any time I open the Camera option. Are there any sort of diagnostic tests or something that I can run to fix it? I have an appointment later this week with Apple but I would love to not have to pay more than I already have to fix this problem. Please help as soon as possible!!

I d not know of any troubleshooting.
What does the person who replaced the screen say? Could be a lost connection or broken ribbon cable.

Apple is likely not to help because someone else worked on the iPod.

  • Is there any way to fix the home button on ipod touch?

    my home button has today stopped working!  is there any way that this can be fixed, either by a repair shop or by me doing some thing?  at the moment the only way to get out of an app is to turn off the ipod and then tuirn it back on again - which is getting really tiresome and annoying!!
    About 2 mnths ago the ipod was submerged in liquid but oonly for seconds, it has since worked fine (thank god) with no troubles, but like i said, today for some reason the home buttn is no longer doing its job!! please help lol !!

  • Is there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back onto a new hard drive?

    My Mac crashed last Friday. First timeIs there any way to get my photos FROM my iPod Touch back into my new hard drive. The iTunes sync only goes one way from the computer to the iPod.
    It syncs the photos taken with the iPod (really an old iPhone 3G without phone service) but not the folders which I synced from the old hard drive to the iPod over the past year.

    thank you for the tip.
    Yes, my computer was backed up. for reasons way too complicated to go into here, these particular folders were not part of the backup.
    Thanks again for the help.

  • Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to Microsoft Outlook?

    Is there any way to sync my contacts on my ipod touch to microsoft outlook using the push service from Mobile Me? Or any other mode of transferring?

    Sure. Install the latest version of iTunes on your PC, and just connect your iPod Touch to it, decline the prompt to autosync (the warning about losing your music), then go into the info tab, select sync contacts, and click apply. Your contacts will be transferred (both directions, i.e. the outlook contacts and your IPT contacts will be merged and the combined set will be present on both lists).
    Hope this helps...

    Only password on lock screen and restrictions for certain apps could be helpful in that case.
    But restoring will remove this protection and delete all data, so make sure that other people can not take your iPod away from you.
    Other than that, no.

  • Is there any way to transfer my media from my ipod touch to my new pc?  The media is not currently in my itunes library.

    I can not upgrade my ipod touch because music that is currently on there will be lost.  Is there any way to transfer the media that I currently have on my touch to my itunes library or my pc? 

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases:  File>Transfer Purchases.
    Copy everything from your old copmputer, or your backup copy of your old copmputer to your new one.

  • Is there any way to track or find my lost ipod touch 5G without using Find My Iphone?

    Imlost my ipod about a week and a half ago, and the last place i remeber using it was ina friends car, but i looked in my friends car and it was no where to be found!! Kinda weird, but anyway I want to know if there is any way for me to track or find it without the Find my Iphone app.

    Only the old fashioned way like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    No app is required.                                               
    - If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up.
    iCloud: Find My iPhone
    - You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
    - If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.

  • Is there any way to get "voice memo" (the iPhone/ipod touch app) onto our new iPad 3?

    I know there are apps in the app store that will have similar functionality, but I want Apple's original "Voice Memo" app for it's reliability, automatic syncing with iTunes on our other devices, ability to trim easily, and the overall interface.  I'd be willing to pay a purchase price, but I don't see any way of obtaining it... I'm a bit irritated as I thought this would have come standard as it did on my old iPod Touch. (I see it's still standard on iPhone and iPod Touch, too!)

    No Voice Memos app by Apple on the iPad. I downloaded one from the App Store from another developer that is nearly identical.

    You need to reload a compatible version from the iTunes library on your computer. If you didn't keep a copy of that, no.

  • The other day at school i had lost/stolen ipod touch i had signed up with apple but i havent download the app (find my iphone) is there any way i can find out when my ipod touch gets connected to a wifi and track it

    how do u track an ipod touch when its connected to a wifi and how do u find out when its your stolen ipod touch is connected

    If you set up the Find My iPod service prior to the iPod going missing - the app is for tracking an iOS device from another iOS device - then there is a chance that can be tracked, though it depends on a number of factors (the iPod is turned on, connected to a WiFi network, and has not had the Find My iPod service disabled). Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. Note, though, that you'll only get the location of the WiFi router to which the iPod is connected; there's no way to pinpoint the exact location of the iPod itself.
    If you did not set up Find My iPod, then there is no way to track it. Notify the police and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPod (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • Is there any way to retrieve pictures from a lost iPod touch (4th generation)?

    I lost my iPod awhile back and it had some really important photos on it. It recently has been bugging me a lot and can't seem to find anything to solve my problem.

    If they are an iTunes backup of your iPod then extract them by:

    If the photos were in your PhotosStream only the last 30 dys (from today, not when it was lost) will be restored
