My ipod touch 4g camera wont work because the shutter stays closed

My ipod touch camera shutter stays closed when i start the camera app. This has been happening for a while but if i reboot the ipod several times then the camera will work. I have rebooted it about 35 times now and the shutter still will not open.

If restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod does not solve the problem the I would go make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare. If you look at the right-hand side of the page with your post you will find other posts with the your same problem. They are under the heading More Like This.

Try:

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.

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work. The computer seems to get hung. What could be happening?

Whenever I try to sync my ipod touch, it doesn't work. The computer seems to get hung during the back up stage. It says it is backing up the ipod but nothing happens, for hours. I eventually have to interrupt it and give up.

I have the latest itunes.
I tried resetting sync history.
For this section:
If the issue persists, and you know all your contacts, calendars, bookmarks and notes are on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
Remove all of the contact and calendar information from Outlook.
Select the device in iTunes and click the Info tab.
Scroll down to the Advanced section, and under "Replace information on this iPhone/iPad/iPod touch" make sure Contacts and Calendars are not selected.
Click Apply.
This doesn't seem to make sense for my situation. I don't sync anything between outlook and my ipod touch.
I have no other USB devices connected to my computer.
I have no other Windows users on my computer - only me and I am the administrator. However on my diagnostic, it said this user is not the administrator. Weird.
So I have tried to follow that you referred me to, but still I haven't got it working yet. Do you have any further suggestions?

You are running into the activation lock.

You have to either enter the Apple/iCloud ID and password in order to activate the iPod for use. Or you can try to dissassociate the iPod for that account by:

My camera app wont work on my ipad2. i open the app ant the shutter stays closed. i am on ios 5 if that matters. help?

First, double tap the home key and close off any apps that are in the task bar. You are really looking for an earlier instance of camera or photobooth that is still there. Then reboot the pad. Hold the sleep and home buttons until the apple logo appears. Ignore the red slider.
Then try the app again.
This has been happening off and on well before ios 5.

My ipod touch 2g a1288 wont restore. The download takes ages then ipod puts itself back in2 DISABLED mode, HELP!!

Ok so my ipod is making me really angry. If I don't figure this thing out today after trying for so long I think I'm going to take my car and repeatedly run the thing over until its in a million pieces.
Right now heres the long story which ill try keep kinda short but I do need to explain whats happened thus far
Ipod touch (2G), Mondel: A1288 which has gone into disabled mode and is basically useless at the moment.
Now I've done the thing where you hold the two buttons while plugged into laptop until itunes detects ipod in recovery mode. Then I try to hit restore, this starts up the download/ update thing which will not download because here in the dark ages of New Zealand our internet is slow. So because its so slow the ipod touch takes itself back into disabled mode! ahhhhhhhhhhhhh so FRUSTRATING
Now I'm aware that I can pre-download the firmware (which will still probably take ages but may save the ipod from timing out and going back into disabled screen) and then just hit control and select it when ipod is detected in recovery mode by itunes. The only thing wrong with doing this however, is when I go to the site to get the firmware from http://http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/ and look in the drop down menu of 2G ipod touches, I don't see my model listed there so I'm wondering what firmware I can download for the A1288? Is it compatible with a different version? because it wasn't even listed in the drop-down menu of ipod touches.
I just wan't the thing going again! they put these things into technology that make it useless because they know the average joe like me will just give up trying to fix it and buy a new one. Well not this time, if I cant fix this, I'm going to run the thing over and that will be that!
Many thanks for reading my speal, I hope somebody can help

lol yea when i inserted the link i just copied and pasted thats why that happend... Lets try again... http://www.felixbruns.de/iPod/firmware/
Anyways when I go to it theres a drop-down list and you select the one you want and I know the number next to it identifies the model but the thing is they don't have my model listed so my main question is, what version eg. 2.1.1. or 2.2.1 etc. etc. etc. etc. will work with my model of ipod touch which is the 2g Model A1288?
Does anybody know? Does it work with any firmware thats for 2G ipod touches or do i have to get firmware thats model specific?

My iPod Touch 4th gen wont connect to the internet?

I'm using wifi, and I put the correct password in and it connects. It shows the little wifi signal strength icon in the top left also. But when I try to open safari or any other internet reliant app it says there is no internet connection available. I am sending this question from my laptop, which is using the same wifi, so it is not the router. I have tried resetting the network setting on the iPod, and doing a full restore all to no success.

Despite the WiFi connection sign you may not really be connected to your WiFi network.
Your router may not have given your iPad a valid IP address. Go to Settings > Wifi > your network name and touch the ">" to the right to see the network details. If the IP address starts with 169 or is blank then your router didn't provide an IP address and you won't be able to access the Internet. The 169.254.x.y is a link-local address and is intended only for communication on the local network. The x and y are random numbers. The iPad assigns this address when it receives no IP address from the DHCP server (which is probably your router). This allows communication on a local network with no DHCP server. This is sometimes referred to as an "ad-hoc" network.
Your other devices may continue to function with their existing IP address even if the DHCP daemon in your router is no longer issuing address. The fact that other devices on the network continue to work should not lead to the conclusion that your network router is faultless.
Sometimes the fix can be as simple as restarting your router (remove power for 30 seconds and restart). This works because the DHCP daemon in your router will be restarted upon a router restart. Next, reset network settings on your iPad (Settings > General > Reset > Reset network settings) and then attempt to connect. In other cases it might be necessary to update the router's firmware with the latest from the manufacturer's support web pages.
If you need more help please give more details on your network, i.e., your router make, model and version, the wifi security being used (WEP, WPA, WPA2), etc.

Ipod touch 5th gen, wont work?

when i took the charger out of my ipod touch 5th gen , the screen went dark and wouldn't respond then it went black and wouldnt turn on. i thought maybe it was dead so i charged it for an hour but nothing came up on the screen it just stayed black. i tried restetting it but nothing comes up
when connected to the computer it doesnt recgonise the device and says 'power surge on hub' ? so i cant fix it that way its only 4 months old and i dont know what is worng with it. it was working fine yesterday until i took the charger out.

Not Charge
- See:
iPod touch: Hardware troubleshooting
iPhone and iPod touch: Charging the battery
- Try another cable. The cable for 5G iPod (lightning connector) seems to be more prone to failure than the older cable. The 'power surge on hub' error is common for a bad cable
- If a 5G iPod

- Try another charging source
- Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.

Anyone got the new iPod touch 2nd gen to work with the fatman itube dock???

Hi all,
Recently for christmas I've bought a new iPod touch 2nd gen and it's awesome, everything is great about it - in my opinion; except for the fact that I tried to dock it on the fatman itube docking station and found it not to work. Before I used it I was aware that the 2nd gen is unable to charge on the dock however I didn't expect the speakers not to work too. All that happens is a message on the ipod comes up saying unable to charge with this accessory but doesn't put any sound output into the fatman, it just sits there blasting out it's own quiet internal speaker, and also strangely the remote DOES work too???
I've read on the net that maybe resetting the ipod by holding the home+stand-by switch for 10 secs but this resets and does not fix the problem...
There are many photos on the fatman website showing a ipod touch docked so it seems to be sold as working with it but who's to blame for this fault? Apple or fatman?? And does anybody know of a fix for it?
Also I tried my mums ipod nano with the fatman - works fine, and my firmware on the ipod touch is nice and up to date with version 2.2 so I can't see anything else I can do. This was my christmas & birthday present and at the moment I'm quite annoyed that all I can do to it is stick a mini jack in the headphone socket - not ideal since there's no video output or remote control that way!!!
Please give advice if there is any out there,
Thanks,
Mrghostie.

This is an Answer for a Possible Solution. It worked for me and is still working. The issue I was having with my 64 bit vista, was Apple Mobile Device Service was not being installed, I dont know why. But I disabled any active running program through MSCONFIG, to allow a clean uninterrupted install of ITUNES 8.02. This allowed AMDS and drives from ITUNES to install. Hope this works for most of you.
APPLE, please review your Support Methods. Re-installing doesnt help an issue that resulted from installing.
