My ipad camera is not functioning very well

I can't take pictures!

Hey ozzmat,
Though the following comes from an iPhone article, the troubleshooting steps would still be valid:
Camera is not functioning
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 tapping Settings > General > Restrictions.
Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-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. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.

If none of that seems to resolve the issue, I'd check out the iPad troubleshooting assistant and do steps 4 and 5:

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up                             
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

  • The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning.  I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory.  What else can I do?

    The wi-fi button on my iPad 2 is not functioning.  I have tried resetting the network, worked for 5 minutes. Am not able to connect to internet to reset to factory.  What else can I do?

    Try this  - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at
    http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are drooping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

    Note - When troubleshooting wifi connection problems, don't hold your iPad by hand. There have been a few reports that holding the iPad by hand, seems to attenuate the wifi signal.
    Some Wi-Fi losses may stem from a problematic interaction between Wi-Fi and cellular data connections. Numerous users have found that turning off Cellular Data in Settings gets their Wi-Fi working again.
    You may have many apps open which can possibly cause the slowdown and possibly the loss of wifi. In iOS 4-6 double tap your Home button & at the bottom of the screen you will see the icons of all open apps. Close those you are not using by pressing on an icon until all icons wiggle - then tap the minus sign. For iOS 7 users, there’s an easy way to see which apps are open in order to close them. By double-tapping the home button on your iPhone or iPad, the new multitasking feature in iOS 7 shows full page previews of all your open apps. Simply scroll horizontally to see all your apps, and close the apps with a simple flick towards the top of the screen.
    Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim

    My new iphone 4S camera is not functioning.  When I click the phone icon, the shutter appears.  Then the screen only shows the shutter.  When I go back to the home screen and click the phone icon again.  The photo screen only shows a black screen.  The button to take photos is locked the entire time.  I've turned the phone on and off several times.

    Basic troubleshooting steps outlined in the User Guide are restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new.  Have these ALL been tried?

  • The mouse that came with my imac does not work very well in a window virtual machine

    I finally got Windows 7 on my iMac and am using FusionVM.  I installed one of my favorite games and the mouse goes soooooo slow I cannot use the game.  Any suggestions?  I am using the mouse that came with the iMac, magic mouse(??). 

    I have already tried that.  The mouse speed on the iMac is good.  The mouse speed in other Windows7 programs is good.  The problem arose when I tried to play Zuma's Revenge using Windows7.  This is the first game I have loaded since setting up the virtual machine. 

  • IPad Camera connector not recognizing anything...

    Hi,
    I have just got a second hand iPad (original). I have also got a knock-off usb connector off ebay.
    I want to be able to sync my Canon 40D with the iPad. This should be no problem google tells me. The iPad is running 4.3.2
    I plug in the connector & camera into the iPad, turn on the camera - nothing happens.
    I put the memory card into a usb memory card reader and connect it to the ipad - nothing happens.
    I plug my iPhone into the iPad - nothing happens.
    I plug a Apple USB keyboard into the iPad - nothing happens.
    Using the same connector I plug the USB keyboard into my iPhone - I get a warning that this accessory is not for the iPhone.
    I'm not really sure where to go from here, instinct is telling me that the knock-off usb connector from ebay is the weakest link here but as the iPhone threw a wobbly when I connected it I'm thinking maybe that's actually working and the problem is with the iPad...
    Can anyone please suggest any additional troubleshooting here?

    Dan-
    At least you are not getting the error message about the USB device drawing too much current!
    When you say nothing happens, are you running the Photos App on the iPad at the time?  I don't know if it is supposed to open automatically, but that is where imported Photos will go.  That is where I see thumbnails of photos on the camera's card, either connecting from the camera or using a USB card adapter.
    Are you sure there are pictures on the card in the camera? When I made comparisons between different cameras, the card might or might not show up when it had been reformatted.
    Did they get there by taking them with that camera?  I understand the Photos App requires images to be in a standard format, and inside the correct folder name on the camera card.  If you just copied random images to the card, they might not have the right file name format or be in the right place.
    What about trying it with a friend's iPad?  If that doesn't work, I would suspect the adapter wasn't good enough.  If it does, then your iPad may have a defective connection.
