My iPod touch 4g camera keeps closing when I try to take a picture

The camera  closes whenever I take a picture and the photo app closes right when I open it what do I do

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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 the iPod from backup
- Resore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If still a problem you likely have a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iPod touch (4th gen) keeps crashing when I try to run my apps.

    And that happens with EVERY app I try to launch, and they don't open past the loading interface. For example, if I select iBooks, it starts up and the initial loading empty bookshelf shows up but then after a couple of seconds the app crashes and I'm taken back to my home screen. What should I do?

    I had the same prob
    Luckily i did not have much apps so i deletd all of them

  • Why does my iPhone camera shut down when I try to take a picture?

    Every time I try to snap a photo with either Camera+, iPhone camera, or Instagram, the app shuts down and goes back to my main screen??  Maddening.

    Double tap the home button. Then you'll see the  apps that are currently running. close all all by holding any of the icons for two secs and tapping the red minus sign. then try it again.
    If this doesnt help, do a hard reset by pressing and holding the sleep/wake button and home button together until the apple logo appears.

  • All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.

    All of my playlists made on my Ipod touch 3rd gen keep disappearing when I sync it to itunes. Drivng me crazy. All software up to date on both itunes and Ipod. Help please.
    I tend to make my playlists right on my ipod. This did not happen for the last 2 years. Just started recently. Did get a new computer recently.

    That is because you got a new computer. You can only sync all media from one syncing computer. You can sync from any computer to iPod using the manual method but that does not sync from iPod to computer.
    To make this your syncing computer:

  • HT201263 When my ipod touch is in recovery mode, when i try to restore it, the itunes page says the website has timed out so it won't recover. Can anyone please help me?

    When my ipod touch is in recovery mode (when I try to re-store it) the itunes page sayes the website has been timed out and so it won't re-store. There is a limited time, whilst restoring the ipod, it lasts for approx 5 mins, then asks to start again all over again. Can anyone please help me?

  • All of sudden my iphone 4s any picture I take outside I cannot forward via email or text and I can only see it, in the camera roll. When I try to open the picture full screen it is blank. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

    all of sudden my iphone 4s any picture I take outside I cannot forward via email or text and I can only see it, in the camera roll. When I try to open the picture full screen it is blank. Anyone have any ideas to fix it?

    Close out of the camera app, double tap the home button and completely close out of the app.
    Then do a reset, no data loss.  Hold down the home/sleep button together until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Then check your camera roll again.

  • There are colors on the screen when I try to take a picture. Please help.

    Hi, I'm not sure if I'm in the right community but when I try to take a picture I look at the screen and it has a white line going through the top part of the screen. There are white spots all over the lens. There is blue and red parts in the camera. When you move the phone the colors move around. The camera is very blurry and is not focusing.

    Sounds like software - Hope you have a recent back up already as with this issue do not really want to make a back up of the device now.
    Will want to restore the iPhone and after restore 1st set up as New and test the camera after setting up as new.
    If good then can try to restore from a back up. If still good, good. If notice same thing with camera after restoreing from a back up when that back up is no good, will have to erase all content and settings and continue with set up as new.
    Good luck!

  • The screen on my powershot a2500 is black when I try to take a picture.

    The screen on my powershot a2500 is black when I try to take a picture. Is there a fix?

    Several items to check:
    Are the batteries fully charged? Low batteries can display photos, but may not have enough charge to snap a shot.
    Are you using flash? If the batteries are low, it may take some time for the flash to charge up and display the scene on the screen. The screen will stay black until the flash is ready.
    Are you outside on bright sunny day with polarized sunglasses on? Try without sunglasses on if this is the case.
    Has the camera been dropped at all? Even a soft drop can loosen up the ribbon cable that goes to the LCD screen.
    Are you able to see the menus? If you can, try a camera reset to defaults in the tools menu to see if that clears it up. You may have accidentally changed a setting that turned the screen when shooting. If not, remove the batteries for a few minutes then press the shutter button for a few seconds. Reinstall the batteries and see if that cleared it up.
    If none of these work, you may need to send it in for repair. You will need to decide if it would be worth it or not if it is out of warrranty.

  • My ipod touch is getting an error when I try to restore.  It says 2003 error.  It's frozen.

    My ipod touch got a 2003 error when I tried to restore.  It's frozen.  I've tried everything I've read but nothing works.

    For the error try:
    "Error 2000-2009: (2001, 2002, 2005, 2006, 2009, and so on) If you experience this issue on a Mac, disconnect third-party devices, hubs, spare cables, displays, reset the SMC, and then try to restore. Learn how to reset the SMC. If you are using a Windows computer, remove all USB devices and spare cables other than your keyboard, mouse, and the device, restart the computer, and try to restore. If that does not resolve, try the USB issue-resolution steps and articles listed for Error 1604 above. If the issue continues, it may be related toconflicting security software."
    Above from:
    Update and restore alert messages on iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
    To unfreeze have your tried:
    - Resetting:
    Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
    button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Placing the iPod in recovery mode and restoring it.  For recovery mode see:

    Saying you tried everything is not really helpful since it is very easy to miss something.  It is helpful to say what tried and did not work.

  • Photo app keeps crashing when I try to delete a picture.

    I have an iPad Mini 16GB WiFi and I have no memory left and when I try to delete a picture the Photo App crashes, I've tried Rebooting my device several times. Do you know what I could do?

    i think.... It is crashing because it has no memory to move around.  suggest - resync with your 'puter.  on the photos tab, do not reload (sync0 a bunch of the existing photos, and deal with them - deleting or otherwise - on you computer.
    Otherwise - you have no option but to remove stuff from the pad  - music, apps, videos etc to give you enough space to move.

  • App crashes when I try to take a picture

    I try to take a picture using google chrome or Instagram(it may also happen with other picture taking apps, it might have to do with the camera app?) and it crashes
    Anyone experiencing this too?
    I've already tried refreshing these apps and the camera app but ehh still closes

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.
