My iPhone4s back camera just stopped working.

So my back camera randomly stopped working when i got a snapchat. the screen appears black.
It stopped working on all camera using apps, and to use the front camera i have to switch to front camera (screen remains black), close the app, and open it again and then the frontcam appears.
I've deleted snapchat just in case. i closed all apps, restarted the phone (home+sleep button) but to no avail.
Please help!

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset.
Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory deaults./new iPOd

  • Ipad4 front camera just stopped working

    My Ipad 4 camera has just stopped working; the rear camera works fine but when you toggle across the whole thing locks?
    three weeks out of warranty; feels like an Apple 'frig' to me!

    Hi Brendan
    Unfortunately that doesn't work; and had already done all the guidance and also tried full resets from the settings as well.
    The rear camera works fine but when you toggle to the front facing camera it blurs the previous rear facing image and then effectively locks the screen and doesn't allow you to toggle back to the rear camera or move between photo/video/square. Even when you close the application it then reboots into a  front screen black image which you can only get out of by rebooting the iPad.
    As I bought this from Apple as a refurbished model and it's 12 months and 3 weeks old which means from an Aplle perspective its out of warranty and any kind of support assistance. It seems the only way I can get support is to spend £25 to get someone from Appleto talk to me.
    The guidance from numerous facebook contributors suggest is it would  be wiser to spend the £25 pursuing Apple for a resolution on the HM Courts Website 'Money Claim Online' as under the UK Sale & Supply of Goods act its reasonable to expect it to continue to work after less than 13 months usage.

  • My iPod Touch, gen 4, CAMERA just stopped working.  All it does is display a dark screen.

    That's it.  It stopped working with no apparent cause.  No sync, no connection with myPC.
    I tried to force it to fix itself by connecting to the PC and syncing, no good.

    Hi Ingo2711,
    Thanks for the suggestion.  But I don't understand it as your words seem to conflict with the words at the link.
    Not to mention, it feels like a start over and that scares ,me more than it is worth.
    No other way to get back my camera and my photos?
    WHOOOOOPSSS!!!!  I just attached my iTiuch to my PC setting off an ajutomatic SYNC and that jarred it back to working again.

  • I dropped my iPhone 5s (with a otter box) and the rear camera just stopped working. It also now starts to over heat near the rear camera and the battery drains very fast.

    I dropped my iPhone 5s on the floor on accident. Of course I have a otter box on it, but when i picked it up, the rear camera stopped working. Also the area around the rear camera started to overheat. I was so hot that it you touch it it will burn you. The battery also started to drain very fast.

    You broke it. That seems pretty obvious. A case, including the otter box, is not a magical force field that can protect your phone from the force of gravity.
    make an appointment at the genius bar. An out of warranty replacement will cost you $269.

  • I need help.. My front and back camera suddenly stop working.

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

    Reset the device:
    Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If that doesn't help, tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings

  • Camera just stops working

    I got it set up, and it worked great for a couple of hours. I reinstalled the camera after doing some power down type of trouble shooting. Then I reinstalled it and it worked great for about three hours, now nothing... I was viewing it through the web using TZO and using ip cam viewer. Why is it stopping after a couple of hours?

    I have a similar problem. I have 3 WVC80N cameras in my house. Two of the three work flawlessly and I am able to access them from the internet. The third sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I went through and reconfigured several times and it works for awhile then lose access. I upgraded the firmware on the first two with no problem, but when I tried to upgrade the third the problems started. When I completed the upgrade all the router settings had changed. The SSID changed to default and several other settings changed. When I went to reconfigure the cameras none of them were recognized by the instal software. After about an hour with tech support I was able to get everything up and running. I still have only intermittent access to the third camera from the internet. Sometimes I can unplug the camera for a little while and plug it back in and have access and other times that won't work. My router is a Linksys e1000.

  • IMac camera just stopped working

    I have been trying to learn how to communicte with Yahoo Messenger and Facebook. I was learning--slowly--when the person I was talking to said that the video had disappeared, and I then noticed that the little light at the top of the screen had gone out. I suspect that I had unknowingly turned it off, but I don't know how I did that or, more importantly, how to turn it on again. How do I activate the iMac's camera? This is the first time that this has ever happened to me.

    Hi, the light should only be on when in use.
    Well, you're probably right but, as I said, my recollection is that it was ALWAYS on before.
    Is it working now in Messengers?
    I was about to say, "no," when it appeared after I clicked on one of its buttons. I guess i just have to learn how to use Yahoo Messenger.

  • 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

    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!

  • My ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    my ipod classic got wet back in August.. it seemed to work fine for about a month, but recently is not working at all..screen appeared to get cloudy and then it just stopped working. thanks.

    Most likely, water damage.
    You can try putting your iPod in a tupperware, half filled (maybe half inch) with rice grains, close the cover for about a week.
    If you have done this, as soon as it got wet, higher chances of success, now looks like the water moisture is getting to the LCD screen.
    Then you can always bring it to Apple Genius bar, for a an overhaul. (may cost you half the price of a new iPod classic.)
