My front and back camera won't work, and my flash will not either.

I took some picture in the rain, my iPod 5th gen wasn't affected, then my iPod was dropped in a parking lot and found later. Other than that, nothing has really happened to it, but both the front and back camera do not work. When I open up a camera, it's just black. The flash doesn't work either. Can anyone help me?

Torch won't turn off and back camera won't work after dropping it in a pool. What can I do?

I put it in rice as soon as I got back, and left it for 36 hours as instructed by a website and friends. Ever since dropping it the torch hasn't turned off and the bac camera won't work.

Water and electronics do not mix well. Your device may not ever work properly again, and probably needs to be replaced. Unless you have the AppleCare Protection Plan Plus, then it will cost $199 USD to replace an iPhone 4S.
The rice trick works best if you leave it for at least 4-5 days, not 1.5 days. But even that is no guarantee.

I've just updated my iPhone to the new iPhone OS and now it won't work and iTunes won't recognise that it's there. I've uninstalled iTunes and reinstalled twice and it's not working. Please help.

I have not had wifi since November when I upgraded to the newest IOS version. I called the Apple help line and they told me some things to do and I tried them all and they worked for a few hours and then wifi shut off again. I kept doing what they told me and it worked for a couple more days and then I could never turn it on again. My blue tooth doesn't work either. I had to actually increase my data usage with AT&T becuase of this. When I did that in December I went to the Apple store and was told that it is a hardware issue and since my phone is out of warranty I would have to pay for a new phone because they could not fix the issue. My upgrade isn't up until June 2014 so not only do I have to wait for the upgrade and I am not paying for a new phone but I have to pay $10 plus extra a month on my cell phone bill because I was going over on my Data!!! I have been beyond upset about this and Apple is not doing anything about this nor did they offer up some way to resolve the issue because obviously it is not just some rare incident if several people are having this issue. Who knows how many people out there have had this issue and have not said anything about it. Now there is a newer update that I can't do because it requires wifi in order to download.
June can not get here fast enough and I may not go back to Iphone after dealing with this for so long with no help from Apple.

Few days ago, my front and back cmaera stop working. I tried all the possible options but still having the same problems.

IPod touch 5th gen back camera won't work

My iPhone 5c rear camera won't work and the led light doesn't work either

At first just snapchat wouldn't work and then I tried my actual camera and neither camera worked. I turned it off and on again and the front facing camera works but the rear facing one doesn't. Snapchat wont use either one. Then I pulled up my settings bar thingy and the led light button is all greyed out. I rebooted my phone and it did nothing. Im not sure what to do, help please!

Set it back to factory settings without using any backup data. If the camera does not work after that, you'll have to get the phone serviced.
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
iPhone - Contact Support - Apple Support
If the camera works after that, use the latest backup to restore your data on the phone again. If the problem comes back, your backup contained damaged data, causing this problem and you'll have to start allover again, but without the backup data.

IPad2 camera won't work and it takes 5 1/2 hrs to charge battery

My ipad2 is about 2 and a half months old and everything was working fine until a few days ago.
First my iPad froze in the middle of one app and I couldn't restart the device. I tried to press the home button but it didn't work. I then tried to restart the iPad by holding down the sleep button but nothing happened either... So I left the iPad alone for about 5 mins and the apple logo appeared out of nowhere and took me to the lock screen (where u have to slide the bar to load the home screen). After that everything went back to normal.
Second, my camera stopped working. Every time I press on the camera, it goes to the shutter screen and stays there. I restarted my iPad but the camera app still won't work. FaceTime and photo booth works fine though.
Third, now my iPad takes over 5 and 1/2 hrs to charge from 0% to 100%. When I first got my iPad, it only took it 4 and 1/2 hrs to charge from 1% to 100%. I have heard that over time, it should take less hrs to charge the iPad (not more).
Any suggestions on how to fix this?
Thanks u

Try a reset, which is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo and then release. A reset does not affect any data or settings.
The time it takes to charge the battery will not improve over time.

Dropped iphone4 in water and now camera won't work. help?

i dropped my iphone4 in the sink and it wouldn't work for three days. magically it turned on last night after i plugged it in the charger (i know your not supposed to do that but obviously it worked) but anyways everything is working exactly as it should except my camera is completely messed up. if i press the app for my camera it wont even open the camera at all. so what do i do? i know the apple protection plan does not cover water damage but my phone is working just not the camera. would that be covered? i just need some answers before i call my phone company tomorow

Accidental damage is not covered under the warranty in any shape, form, or fashion.
Having the iPhone powered on and trying to make it work while there is any internal moisture is what causes damage.

Refreshes to bottom of page randomly without prompt, and back button won't work unless clicked several times.

I've noticed that every time I open a page, I am automatically redirected to the bottom of the page, after scrolling up to the top I can only go a few minutes on that page before Firefox refreshes to the bottom of the page again without my doing anything at all. It's similar to when you're viewing a page at a certain point, and you refresh, it'll refresh back to the spot that you were viewing, only it's as if Firefox thinks that I was down at the bottom of a page I haven't opened before (in all cases with any website I visit), and it brings me immediately to the bottom of the page, and then several times when I'm simply viewing the page.
The other issue is when I try to hit the back button. You know those obnoxious websites that don't really go back unless you hit the back button a bunch of times, or go to the drop down back menu? EVERY page is like that now. I can't go back on most pages because if I go back to far, it goes to a blank page that I started on and then the forward button greys out. It's almost as if Firefox is having a laugh at my expense, but I don't want to give it that much credit.
This is most irritating when I'm working on Webassign.net, my calc homework pages cause Firefox to crash or freeze up anyway when I have to use their textbox with complicated math symbols, so when ti starts freshing and jumping all over the place while trying to input complicated equations, I usually just have to close everything and open Firefox again. I lose a lot ot math homework that way.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

Front and back cameras stopped working after IOS 8 update

My front and back cameras both stopped working after i updated my phone to the IOS 8 software. Does anyone know why this would happen or any way of fixing it?

Hi VictoriaViking,
Not sure why your cameras stopped working with the update, or what the exact symptom is (black screen, no response...), but please check out the Camera troubleshooting section of this article. (I know some don't apply to your issue.)
iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
Try to remain steady while focusing:
Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
Take care,
Nubz

Backlight won't work and my playlists won't show on my nano

Hello,
I need help. I just returned my first nano because it turned off and never turned back on, and last night I hooked up my new nano and the backlight isn't working and my playlists won't show up on my nano.
I turned my backlight on and made sure it wasn't turned off and it still won't work.
My playlists will show up on ITunes but not on my nano. I don't know what to do except take it back AGAIN. PLease help me.
Like I said, I just returned my first one because of defects and now this one seems to have it's own problems.
I'm frusturated
Thank you

Repair cannot be done online in the user to user forum.
Make an appointment with the Apple genius bar for an evaluation,

Just bought the new iPhone4S yesterday, and my back camera isn't working/loading up. But my front camera works fine. What's wrong? Can anyone help?

I had the same problem- go to Utilities, General, Use Side Switch To, and change it from Mute to Lock Rotation- this solved the problem for me.
Good luck!
