TS3274 My camera won't open on my iPad

When I touch the Camera icon on my iPad 2, the camera won't open and when Photo Booth is open, it keeps the red curtain going from left to right.

Have you tried a Reset...
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

My camera won't open. How do I fix it?

My camera won't open. How do I fix it? It been like this for the last few days/: I really need it fixed! Please help!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.
Also, you might check to see if restrictions are on (and the camera turned off): Settings app > General > Restrictions.

App store won't open on my ipad? Any ideas?

app store won't open on my ipad? I've tried everything suggested by Apple Support but still no luck. Any other ideas??

What have you tried ? e.g.
- closing the app via the taskbar : from the home screen (i.e. not with the App Store app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar at the bottom of the screen, 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 App Store app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar
- logging out and back into your account via Settings > iTunes & App Stores
- a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

You could try deleting and then re-downloading the app via the Purchased tab in the App Store app and see if it then works (re-downloading).
And/or you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.) No data/files will be erased. http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430

Adjusting the date or time didn't do anything for me either. I'm guessing my two options are to either do the full restore from scratch and not apply any backup ... Or possibly wait for an iOS update that might resolve this issue.
I'm not that much of an avid twitter user that I need it implemented natively in all my devices - so for now I'll probably value all my game save data, internal settings in apps e.t.c. over that functionality (or over the amount of work it would be to get me back to where I am now after a full wipe). I'll see what happens after the next iOS delta update. I'll reevaluate the full wipe after that if the issue hasn't been resolved

The shutter on my iPad front facing camera won't open. My husband and I are in Ireland and I can't take pictures. Can anyone help? It is the latest iPad version and I am updated with version 6.1.3.

My husband and I are traveling through Ireland and my iPad front facing camera won't work! The shutter won't open. I have shut all programs that might take up memory, I have totally rebooted and I have tried restarting everything. Any advice to help me take amazing pics while on our vacation?

Try This...
Close All Open Apps... Perform a Reset... Try again...
Reset ( No Data will be Lost )
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears. Release the Buttons.

The shutter on my Front Facing Camera won't open.

It would open when I had it on the rear facing camera, but it freezes when I click to switch.
And then when I try to open the camera app, the shutter won't open, I'm guessing because it's in front facing mode.
And even when I Skype, the app freezes if I try to use the front facing camera, so I have to use the rear facing camera for skype (which is annoying)
I have the latest software update...
Anyone know how to fix this?!

Same Problem. Have had the iPod 4G since it first came out and everthing fine till now.
To: just after installing IOS 5.0
The camera(s) shutter will be closed for a while, unable to be used.
Also, camera(s) will no longer switch between modes (shoting regular pic vs. shoting self)
As others have mentioned, I also did the common things to try to fix this:
- I closed the Camera app and restart it
- I rebooted the iPad Touch 4G
- I did a hard reset
None of this helped.
This happens on ALL the camera apps I have (four or five).
Which makes me think it's a Bug
Note: I'm posting this on all threads as I become aware of them.
Update: A Partial Fix, I did the 'dramatic,' decision of doing a full Reset/Restore (System>General>Reset) and after that the front shutter now works again, so I can take pics of things in the normal way, but one of my camera apps made it clear it gets an ERROR when trying to switch to the self-photo/Facetime mode, so I'm avoiding doing that to the Apple Camera app.
Since it started for me with a software change, and it got partially fixed with a system Reset I more firmly believe it must be a bug. It looks like a bug. It acts like a bug. It's a bug.
Apple is a good company and if they get the word I'm sure they will do what's necessary to fix this problem. So keep talking it up on Discussions and send Feedback is all we can do and many of us don't have a Genius Store nearby (plus, it can't be good for business to be returning products because of software issues).
On the plus side of the camera and new IOS5:
I found out how to get that cool function to being able to use the camera right away, from the lock screen.
Very nice. And very, very nice to be able to use the volume button to snap pics.

Try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again. You will not lose any data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.

Try deleting it and downloading it again.
Any problem with any other book?
If only with that one, use the Report a Problem link on your receipt and ask for a refund.
