Video recording - why can't I switch cams like face time?

I do interviews and video blogs and I would like to be able to setup a clip with the camera facing me and then switch to camera on back to let subject speak. If you can do it with face time, PLEASE put in a fix so I can do it while recording.
I would really like the option to switch back and forth between cameras while recording video (like face time).
Also, is there no way to upload HD videos from the phone after editing in iMovie?

@OP
You know, if something is not working for you, doesn't mean that that's the way it's done. Also, Google is amazing.
Video recording DOES work with the front and back camera.
If yours does not, restart your phone, restore as new, or go to an Apple store.
Also, at the present moment, the iPhone does NOT support uploading directly in HD. The only current way is to put it on your computer and upload it from there.

Why can't i logg in to face time with my ipad2

I can't connect to face time with my ipad2 anyone an idea how to fix this?
Heeeelllp!

HERE'S WHAT WORKED FOR ME: I signed out of Facetime on my mac and then I could sign in on my ipad. Suddenly after 50 attempts, my ipad verified instantly (it didn't even send an e-mail, it just verified instantly). I guess being signed in on my mac caused some kind of conflict on Apple's servers. Now for the funny part: I was immediately able to sign-in again on my mac and now both my pad and mac have working FaceTime. You just can't be signed in on your mac when you are trying to setup FaceTime for the first time on the iPad. I guess.

Why can't they hear me on face time?

We can call each other; I can hear & see them, but they can only see me.
I found my mic (not sure where) and the volume bars lit when I talked. But they can't hear me.
They're using an iMac; I'm using a early 2008 MBP.

Maybe it's something on their end. You can try and record yourself and see if the mic is working.

Why can't I sign in to face time?

I just updated my iPod touch 4th generation 8 gigs to 4.3.2 and FaceTime isn't working, I can't sign it, it either tells me Check network connections, or wrong password, I did a full reset settings, still didn't work, so I did a full restore, set it up as new iPod and it still doesn't work, it just displays " You were signed out of FaceTime because your Apple ID or password changed. Sign in to turn on FaceTime." when I go in the FaceTime app, I even tried signing in in settings, still doesn't work, but my apple store ID is sign in, also my email, I don't get it, the wifi works fine with everything else except FaceTime. Help please!

No game center would not work at all, but I fix it, all I did was turn off wifi and turn it back on, it work simple for me, FaceTime and game center work now

I Have the same problem that you have.
I find a trick to make it work, but it can be a little annoting sometimes.
Turn off your Macbook and then Turn it on, and re-open Facetime
It should work

How can i request the actual time code of digital video recorder, i am using RS232 interface for asking actual time code of digital video recording

how can i request the actual time code of digital video recorder, i am using RS232 interface for asking actual time code of digital video recording

If you have an RS-232 interface to the digital video recorder, it may be that you can send a command to the video recorder in order to get the time code sent back to your application - you would then read this as a string and then incorporate this data into your program.
The best source of help will be any documentation you have relating to the serial (RS-232) interface with the digital video recorder. This documentation should have commands that you can send to the recorder and expected response strings that you should get back from the device. This task should be straightforward but can often be frustrating without documentation about the video recorder. This will not be something that you can "guess" - past experience in writing serial communication ap
plications has shown that a good manual is your best friend.
Failing this if you have any source code for example programs that have already been written to communicate with the recorder, you might be able to extract the relevant ASCII strings and use them within your application. This is true whether you are using LabVIEW or a text-based language.

Is there any talk about adding a device to the ipad so that you can use it as camera like ipad2

Is there any talk about adding a device to the ipad so that you can use it as camera like ipad2

James-
As Jeanne mentioned, it can work as long as the added device is a camera, and you have the iPad Camera Connection Kit. The kit contains two adapters, one for an SD camera card and one that accepts a USB card adapter or cable from your camera.
With regard to your basic question, Deggie is correct. It does NOT work like a built-in camera, so you can't use it for video calls. You have to take pictures with the external camera and transfer them to the iPad.

Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

Why can't I block certain people face timing and imessageing me? I keep receiving random facetime calls every 5 minutes got to the point where I have has to turn facetime off.

I'm having the same problem, but it's also coming through on my computer, through my Apple email address. I have a very short Apple email, and little kids are trying to facetime their little friends, and then when I tell them I'm not their friend, they FaceTime or iMessage me even more, thinking that I'm still their friend, and I'm just kidding around.
I can't block the kids before they call...I don't know who they are. I want to restrict my FaceTime to only my phone number, and block all FaceTime and iMessage requests that are coming in through my email address. Can I do that?
I have another thread: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/5840011

Why can't I set month,date and time on my imessage?

Why can't I set month, date and time on my imessage?

The way the date/time was displayed was changed in iOS7. There had been numerous complaints about not having a date/time stamp on all posts, so it was changed to display the time for all by sliding the post to the left. They left the date stamp to show differently. I couldn't tell you what it does for posts more than a week old, as I never save my messages that long.
Meg's post provides for software where you could move the SMS to the computer and it should contain a full date/time stamp on it.

HT1430 I lost the camera and face time apps, how do I re-install them ?

I lost the camera and face time apps, how do I re-install them ?

If you can't find them on any of your homescreens or app folders, and you can't find them via the spotlight search screen (swipe your first home screen to the right), then is it hidden by Settings > General > Restrictions > Camera (and potentially FaceTime) being set 'off' ?
If not then have you tried a reset to see if you can find them after the iPad has restarted ? 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.

I'm using an iPad mini can I make calls without using face time?

I'm using an iPad mini can I make calls without using face time?

You can use apps such as Skype For iPad from the app store, but if you are asking whether you can make 'normal' phone calls with it then no, you can't.

Can't see other party when face time's connect!

Can't see other party when face time connect. Other party can't see me either !

Do a Reset and try again - [Hold the Home and Sleep/Wake buttons down together for 10 seconds or so (until the Apple logo appears) and then release. When the screen goes blank power On again in the normal way.] It is absolutely/appsolutely safe!
