My camera just stopped working. How can I fix it?

I was using my iPad and suddenly now it doesn't work at all, every other app is fine. It's only the ones that require the camera.

try to close it (double tap the home button and you'll see the apps that are open and hold the app till they jiggle and you see the minus sign. press the minus sign on the camera app).
Do a reset and try it
Good luck

    Hi Hamish1P,
    Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. Based on what you stated, it sounds like an app you installed is not working. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.
    If an app you installed unexpectedly quits, stops responding, or won’t open - Apple Support

  • HT1338 built in camera has stopped working, how can I update or reinstall the drivers

    Built in camera has stopped working, how can I reinstall the respective drivers?

    Here are my best suggestions for your camera problem, Stephen:
    •  If you have not already done so, shut down Mac, restart,
        and try again.  If the camera still does not work, continue.
    • Try ALL relevant suggestions from Apple's Troubleshooting
       article: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2090
    (Apple has changed the built-in camera's name on newer Macs from "iSight" to "FaceTime" and then to "FaceTime HD."  Regardless of the name of your Mac's built-in camera, the same info and troubleshooting applies.)
       If you need to use the "reset" suggestion, use the correct reset for your Mac.
    • Use your Mac's Disk Utility to repair permissions and then
       download and apply the latest Combo Update.  For your Mac OS,
       the current version is at http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640
    • Repair permissions again immediately following the system restart
       that completes the Combo update.
    Properly applying the Combo version of updates can sometimes correct software problems, but, if your trouble is caused by a hardware problem, there are no user serviceable parts of the camera.
    • If nothing else resolves your problem, yours is likely a hardware issue.
       Unless you have a current backup, make one now.
    Then use the final "Troubleshooting" suggestion:
    "... contact Apple or an Apple-Authorized Service Provider for service."

    Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
    Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • My built-in  key board has stopped working how can i fix this?

    my built-in key board has stopped working all of a sudden how can i fix this?

    Did you spill any liquids on your keyboard?  If you are in the habit of eating and drinking while using your computer, the keyboard is probably dirty.  Use a can of compressed air or a vacuum hose to remove the debris underneath the key.  If that does not work, you may actually have a hardware issue.
    If you Apple Care, call them and get a case number.  Otherwise, take the computer to an Apple store or an AASP.  Whichever is more convenient for you.  Liquid damage is not covered under Apple's standard 1 year warranty or Apple Care.
    NOTE:  If you are out of warranty and purchased the computer with a credit card, discuss the warranty issue with the credit card company which you purchased the computer with.   They are the only ones who can at this point cover the computer after it goes out of warranty with the manufacturer (Apple).
          If you have Homeowners insurance, place a claim with them.

  • The silent/ringer switch and the volume control buttons stopped working, how can I fix this or do I just need to get a new phone?

    One day I relalized that the silent/ringer switch on my iPhone 4 stopped working. My phone is permently silent and I can't turn the ringer on. The speakers still work so they aren't the problem. Also, the volume controls on the side don't work either. Is this problem fixable or do I need to get a new phone?

    you can try the restore first to make sure it is nothing software related. makesure to back up information and restore as new. after that it is hardware if your with in the limited hardware warranty and can be replaced for free if you are not then it can be replaced for 149$ if it is a iphone 4 or lower

  • My home button stopped working, how can i fix it myself?

    i have an iphone 5, and the first one i had the lock button stopped working so i had to get a new one, i just dropped this one and now the home button doesnt work.... is that something i can fix? and if so, how?

    IFixIt.com gurus rate i5 repairs as "moderate to difficult" at best. An experienced jockey who's done a few dozen may be able to open the thing without breaking the screen, a first-timer, very doubtful. And it should still be within its one-year warranty, so let Apple deal with the issue.
    But if you insist and are fond of electronic corpses, have fun: http://www.ifixit.com/Device/iPhone_5

  • HT4061 My lock button and home screen button has just stopped working, how do i fix this?

    My lock and home screen button has just suddenly stopped working, i have looked on YouTube, unscrewed the back and tried the methods that work for other people but it hasn't worked.
    Im not on contract, if it needs to go in for repair im sure it will be very expensive!
    What shall i do?

    It's a hardware issue. If it's out of warranty, you can get it replaced but there's an out of warranty fee associated.
