My ipod camera screen wont open

when i click on camera it opens but stays on that page with the camera closed. what should i do???????

The reset I specified will not delete anything. If it still does not work after:
- reseting
- Restore from backup via iTunes
- Restoring to factory defaults
Then either call AppleCare or make an appointment at the Genius Bar of your APple Store. Some other users have reported that the shutter on the camera stuck and Apple had to replace the iPod.

My ipod camera shutter wont open

hey i know that there is alot of discussions about this already but i have tried reseting my ipod, that restarting thing where you hold down the home button and the off button, and restoring it which failed terribly because the back-up failed and i lost all my song videos and apps idk how to get them back however after trying all this the shutter did manage to open but the screen is still black what else can i try?

Try:
- A reset. Nothing is lost
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 settings/new iPod
If still problem time for an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Ipod 4th Gen camera shutter wont open

I recently updated the Ipod to ios 6.1.6 but the camera shutter wont open and when i save photos from apps like safari it saves them then instantly deletes the photos I just told safari to save. this is my first apple product and to be honest with this much problems i'm actually considering a more Linux based device. but if the apple community can help me in anyway to fix my expensive device it would be appreciated.

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: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.

Front camera shutter wont open anymore after upgrade to iOS5.1

i have a less than a month old ipad2...after upgrading to the iOS 5.1 the front camera shutter wont open anymore...did the reset but it didnt work.will downgrading to the 4.3.3 make it work again?? please help...

You can't downgrade, it's not supported. Have you tried closing the Camera app completely and seeing if it works when you re-open the app ? From the home screen (i.e. not with Camera 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

Camera shutter wont open to take a pic....???

camera shutter wont open to take a pic....???

The most popular thread on this has nearly 25,000 views. Below is the follow-up post I put on that thread and all these related threads.
If it was just a hardware problem, Apple should fix it for all of us. But I can't quite understand how it's a hardware problem when the problem is not common to all my camera apps; the Apple camera app does not work at all now, but I can take regular pics with other camera apps I have.
But still, trying to switch to FaceTime/self-portrait mode results in total failure and the need to restart....if it was just a hardware issue I'd expect it to not work for all apps.

Thanks for your attention to this. Apple is a fine company and hope it continues that way. The camera is a key feature of these products: the iPod Touch and iPhone. Not having the camera work properly is ridiculous. Some software fix needs to become available.

Ipod Touch Screen wont time out?

So about two days ago I noticed that my ipod's screen wont time out and turn off, if I for example decide to manually change a song rather then skip it from my headphones, it stays on, so i have to manually turn of the screen while I'm playing music..I don't know why I haven't changed any settings or droped it nor has any water gone in it. Is this normal? I mean its not too much of a problem but since I do use it most of the day at work it makes my battery run out much faster. Any help is much appreciated.

It might be one of two things.
I know you said you didn't change any thing but,
Check under settings, general, and autolock it might be on 'Never' change that
Or i might be misunderstanding.
You might be use a stereo base and i don't know but if you are, the ipod, if on the 'Now Playing' page is up, will not go to sleep automatically

My itunes screen wont open

my itunes screen wont open it keeps going blank

Zack,
You're gonna have to tell us a little more than that. We'd be glad to try & help you but, with all due respect your post is practically nonexistent... like your profile which contains nothing.
Dude, look at my profile by clicking on my name, okay? See the kind of technical information that is there? That's the kind of information that the Community needs to help you whether you put it in your post or in your profile or both. We do not need any personal info, just some technical info so we can have a virtual starting line.

have the new iphone 4s and the camera shutter wont open so i can not take photos it is only 4 weeks old dose anyone know why?

Have you tried resetting your device by pressing and holding the Home button and power button until the silver apple appears?
The next step would be to restore the iphone as new in iTunes. If that doesn't work, make an appointment at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.
Best of luck.

Place the iPod in Recovery Mode and restore via iTunes.
If not successful, try DFU mode.

My front camera lend wont open it just stays blurry and one know how to fix this? Restore didnt help tried it already

front camera wont open it stays blurry its an ipod touch 5g

Hey Techmeout, If a restore to new did not solve, most likely dealing with a hardware issue. Contact your Apple store or the Apple Genius Bar, set up an appointment and have your iPod evaluated for possible hardware issue. Then go from there. Good luck. Cheers.

Ipod billing screen wont take valid security key?

Alright, so my credit card time expired for apple. So I go in a select a new date for it to expire the next time. But when I put in the security key for my card it keeps saying invalid key.(note this is on my ipod touch). The problem is, the key I have IS valid. So I went into my apple account(on the apple site) and put in the key, it takes it and everything. When I use my ipod and go to download music, applications, or updates it tells me I have to sign in. So I do, but than it takes me into a screen with my billing info asking for the security key and to set a new experation date. Again. I did all it asked for, hit done, selected a county, but it sends me back to the screen once again saying the key is invalid. The apple site will take they key and say its valid, but on my ipod it says its invalid... So I tried going in and re-entering my credit card info and etc.on the site and it worked, for the site anyways, not the ipod. So basically my problem here is: Itouch billing info screen wont take valid security key.
Ive tried re-entering my info, making sure the adresses and everyting are the same, but nothing seems to work and I cant download anything to my ipod until this works. Please help!
NOTE: Please dont send me a link to the part of the apple site telling me to redo my info, like I said, I already tried that.

I am having the same exact problem. It's like I am not putting the right information, but I have quadruple checked several times. It asks for me to put in a a new security code then it takes me to city/county and it only has one option(which is the right one. I don't understand what is happening...I mean we have 3 people who have the same problem..is there an answer to this?

My ipod nano 6 wont open photo icon,

My ipod nano will not open the photo icon, whenever I touch on it my ipod turns off

Don't know why that happens...
The iPod's software may have become corrupted. So, I think you should do a Restore on the iPod in iTunes. The Restore button is on the iPod's Summary screen, when you select the iPod in iTunes. This will erase the iPod, re-install its software, and set it to default settings. If it's a software glitch, a Restore should fix it.

Touch screen wont open

I cannot use my IPhone 5C - a text coming in lights up but wont let me slide to open Is this covered by a one year warranty by Apple if I brought it to an applestore?

Of course the screen does not open, why would anyone want the screen to open? Accessing the internals of the device is not supported by Apple.
As for the screen not responding, reset the device by pressing and holding the home and power buttons until the white Apple logo appears. No data will be affected.

Camera shutter wont open. help!

my camera wont open, neither the front facing nor the regular camera.

Restart device: Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the home button together until the apple logo appears (ignore the ON/OFF slider) then let both buttons go and wait for device to restart (no data will be lost).
