My iPod touch front camera extremely blurry, can't focus??

My iPod touch's camera cannot focus, it takes extremely blurry pictures. I just noticed it does take very clear close-up photos, they almost look magnified. This seems like a hardware problem, because there is nothing visibly wrong with the camera or the lens, and it takes very good close up pictures. It also has been very difficult to find other people with this same problem on the internet.

Wow... that is not normal.
Here's one from mine.
Do you have an Apple Store close by, as they would probably do the best job of diagnosing and fixing the problem.

    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.
    - 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. It happened to some other users before iOS 7. Thus, it does not appear to be an iOS 7 problem.

  • IPod Touch 4G Camera really blurry

I know the camera on the iPod Tocuh 4G *****, it's like 0.7 mega pixels. But it's more blurry than ussual. Here is an example picture (of my hand): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/823/photoapr1151306pm.jpg/
    Please help, I do not want to open it myself. And Apple wont fix it since it's how of warranty.

    Then that is bad/abnormal.
    Is the lens clean?
    Have you tried the standard fixes to rule out a software problem:
    - 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 defaults/new iPod?

  • I'd like to update the ISO 4.2.1 on an old iPod Touch to ISO 7.  Can't find "Software Update" option under General Setting.  Where might I look for the option to slightly upgrade the ISO for this device?

    You likely have a 2G iPod and those can go higher than 4.2.1
    A 3G can go to 5.1.1
    IA 4G, with cameras can go to iOS 6.1.6.
    The 5G, also with cameras can go to iOS 8
    To update
    The Settings>General>Software Update comes with iOS 5 and later.
    Connect the iPod to your computer and update via iTunes as far as your iPod model allows
    iOS: How to update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
    - A 2G to 4.2.1. Requires iTunes version 10 or higher. If a Mac it requires OSX 10.5.8 or later.
    - A 3G to 5.1.1  Requires iTunes version 10.5 or later
    - A 4G to 6.1.6  Requires iTunes version 10.7 or later. For a Mac, that requires a Mac with OSX 10.6.8 or later
    - A 5G to iOS 8 Requires iTunes 11.4 or later if you update via iTunes

  • I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    I have my iPod touch ios4.2 and I can't download any apps o. My iPod...what should I do? Helppppppppppp please

    He are some apps that are still compatible for iOS 4.2
    > Pandora Radio (supports iOS 3 or better)
    > Army of Darkness: Defense (support iOS 3 or better)
    > Jet Fighters: ONLINE
    > Jet Fighters II: ONLINE
    These are the apps that I know that supports iOS 4.2...... get these before the their next updates.
    Some of these apps may be laggy but still playable.
    BUT IF YOU DO UPGRADE TO BETTER IPOD...... I would get the iTouch 4g OR 5g because of iOS 6 and use of camera and better graphics.

  • Ipod touch (no camera) update software

    I am currently ubdating all our devices to iOS5.  My daughter has an older iPod Touch (no camera) - can it upgrade to iOS5?  I was about to update it to 4.2 & reading the details, it said it was only compatable with iPod Touch 2nd Generation...  but iTunes is prompting me to upgrade...

    If the photos and videos were synced to the iPod, they need to be in your iTunes library or on your computer in order for the update process to resynce them as part of the update.

  • Internet problems on my macbook pro and ipod touch with camera.

    Hi,
    For the last week or so I have been experiencing internet problems with my macbook and iPod touch with camera. I'll be online and clicking different news articles and suddenly the address bar will start to open a link but will not complete it. So what I do is go up to the signal bar and click turn off airport then turn it back on and that will temporarily solve the problem. Same solution on my iPod, I turn off the wifi and turn it back on. It is very frustrating for both devices. I will include as much info as possible. I have a NetGear RangeMax wireless router model WPN824v3. I was wondering if changing the wireless settings on that would solve my problem. I have the channel on 9. Mode on b and g. Security option on WPA-PSK [TKIP] with password. I would be happy for any help with this issue. Also I hope I'm following correct posting protocol. I haven't been on this forum in a while.

    Sig,
    Thanks for the advice. I finally tried a solution after doing nothing. LoL. What I did do was change the channel the router was on from 9 to 7. I think I've done something like this in the past when I had slow internet and that worked out well too. I thought that would help and so far so good. Not an interruption so far but we shall see. To the guy or girl who expressed that they had the same problem as me I would try changing the channel of your router like I did. I will monitor the situation and see if it totally solved my problem or not and keep this thread updated. Thanks people

  • If my iPod Touch 5 battery is failing, can I pay Apple to send me a refurbished one before I send them the one with a failing battery? I don't want to go without my ITouch.

    If my iPod Touch 5 battery is failing, can I pay Apple to send me a refurbished one before I send them the one with a failing battery? I don't want to go without my ITouch.  I really don't want to go without it but I dont want to have to purchase a new one.  The battery life is abysmal, and I am reluctant to upgrade my ios system to ios8 because all I ever see are complaints about upgrades killing the battery.  I am still on ios6.  When I upgraded my macbook pro (which is now DEAD) the battery got worse. 
    I am just sick of it.  I called apple about my itouch battery and the help was terrible.  All they were telling me to do was do a restart and UPGRADE TO THE LATEST IOS TO SEE IF THAT SOLVES THE BATTERY PROBLEM.  They would not even tell me what to do if that would not work.  Very rude.I kept asking and I finally had to find out myself through my own research that they cant replace the battery; instead they send you a refurbished ipod.  They never told me that on the phone and they kept giving me the run around when I kept asking them what I should do if the IOS upgrade did not work or made the battery worse.  Hopefully someone can answer my initial question.  Thanks guys.  I have a charger that I sometimes use plugged in to the ipod ( not all the time, I know that is bad for the battery)  and I thought my battery life should be better than it is because I sometimes use it on the charger  ( it should save the battery).

    Not that I know of. You can do the exchange at an Apple store if they have refurbished ones in stock

  • I am trying to transfer the songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. Please help me..

    I am trying to transfer songs from my iPod touch to my computer and can not figure out how to do it. I also want to transfer the songs I have back in to iTunes. My hard drive went out on my computer and I lost all of my songs, except for on my iPod. I have an iPhone as well and did an update and it wiped out all of my songs. Someone please help me.

    The music sync is one way - computer to ipod.  The only exception is itunes purchases.  Without syncing: File>Transfer Purchases
    It has always been very basic to always maintain a backup copy of your comptuer for just such an occasion.  use your backup copy to put everything back.
