My back facing camera on my IPad 2 keeps freezing on facetime. How do i fix this? It hasnt always done this only over the past few months.

it is really frustrating. The front facing camera works fine while in a facetime conversation but as soon as the camera is turned around it freezes.
I have seen similar people on other websites complain about this. I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix the problem or if apple are doing anything to solve the issue.
thanks

Hello Led93,
After reviewing your post, I have located an article that can help with camera issue. It contains a number of troubleshooting steps and helpful advice for the issue you are experiencing:
Get help with the camera on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Make sure that there’s nothing blocking the camera lens. If you’re using a case, try removing it.
Force the app to close, then open the Camera app again.
Restart your device, then open the Camera app again.
If your device has a front and rear camera, try both cameras by tapping  (camera swap icon). If you see the closed lens or black screen on only one camera, take your device to an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider for more help.
Thank you for contributing to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Bobby_D

  • TS1702 All my entries in 'notes' have disappeared.  I had several different 'notes' entered over the last few months but when I opened the app recently, all of them had gone.  Any way of getting them back?

    All my entries in 'notes' have disappeared.  I had several different 'notes' entered over the last few months but when I opened the app recently, all of them had gone.  Any way of getting them back?  This has happened once before but they just popped back in a few days later.  No such luck this time.

    Not Charge
    - See:    
    iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
    iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
    - Try another cable.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic. I suspect this is your problem
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

  • How can I delete a file? At the moment I delete each pic and it takes ages! I tried select all and managed to delete all my 2300 photos!!  I've got them back but I've also got back 980 which I had already deleted 1 by 1 over the past 6 months!  Help!

    Please help! How can I delete a file without deleting all my photos?  I have just managed to delete all my more than 2000 photographs by choosing' Select all' and then delete. But I thought only 'all' the photographs in the file I had open would be selected! I have got them back, but I've also got back more than 800 others that I'd deleted SINGLY over the last 6 months! HELP!

    Put a Photo in the iPhoto Trash.
    iPhoto Menu -> Empty Trash
    This removes the photo from iPhoto and the Hard Disk (in every version of iPhoto except iPhoto11)
    In iPhoto 11 the file goes to the System Trash, you need to empty that too.

  • My iPad keeps freezing!  Any idea why?  iCloud storage is completely 100% available.

    My iPad keeps freezing.  iCloud storage is completely empty.  I have 2.3 GB available of the total 13.6.  Please help!!  This is starting to become a pain in my butt.

    With iOS 7 it is recommended that you have 15-20% of the storage space on the device free.  For a 16 GB device that is 2.4-3.2 GB free. I suggest that you delete some stuff to allow for more free space on your iPad. It will run better.

  • Back facing camera doesn't work!

    My back facing camera on my ipad2 doesn't work. The shutter will not open to take pics or video. I have tried rebooting iPad and resetting it and nothing works! I was hoping for an at home fix instead of sending it in cause I'm afraid to lose some photos I put on ipad2 from my computer cause I recently lost my hard drive! I can't back those ones up with i cloud or iTunes ( I don't think so anyways). Thanks, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    Dian-
    You should take care of the photos first, before you worry about the camera.  Once you get your computer repaired (or get a new one) you need to get it authorized for your Apple ID, and find a way to back up the iPad without erasing it.
    Search for an Apple Authorized Repair Center near you.  They should be able to advise you on how to save your photos.  (I see that there is Capitol Macintosh in Lansing, MI.)

  • Why is the rear-facing camera of my iPad mini not working?

    The backward facing camera on my iPad mini has stopped working recently after having it for a bit over a year, i.e. when I go into the camera application the screen freezes when trying to take photos with the rear-facing camera. Any ideas what this is due to, and possible options of how to fix it?

    Try This...
    Close All Open Apps... Sign Out of your Account... Perform a Reset... Try again...
    Reset  ( No Data will be Lost )
    Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
    Wait for the Apple logo to Appear...
    Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... ( But can take Longer...)
    Release the Buttons...
    If no joy... Try a Restore...
    1: Connect the device to Your computer and open iTunes.
    2: If the device appears in iTunes, select and click Restore on the Summary pane.

  • Ipad keeps freezing .... Even after hard reset . . . Reset back to factory . . Etc.    is it dead?

    Ipad keep freezing up ?? Even after all the resets . .  Etc.  am I toast ?

    "so I did a hard reset, tried to restore it. But not I cannot not even open my iPad"
    Just to reiterate what Tedfixit said - I would book an appointment at the Genius Bar as well. If you restored it and it is still acting up, the device should be evaluated.
