    I have the same issue on my iPhone 5s
    I've closed the app and re-booted the phone several times but it did not resolve the issue.
    Upgrading to iOS 8.0.2 did not resolve it either.
    Erasing the iPhone and restoring from a backup did not resolve it.
    I'm not sure what else to do.

  • IPad 2 front and back camera is not work after update iOS 7.0.4 it gives like the resolution is not adjusted

    After updating my ipad 2 to iOS 7.0.4 , front and back camera is not working it gives like very small dots or dash. I did restore from iTunes and reset by holding on the home and sleep button, I also tried to close the app from the task bar but still all trials didn't solve the problem.

    I haven't heard of this before so I doubt it's a bug. Probably something happened during the 7.04 download.
    Backup your iPhone to iTunes and restore it as a new iphone, then restore from the backup. This will give you a fresh copy of iOS 7.04.

  • My front and back camera won't work, and my flash will not either.

    I took some picture in the rain, my iPod 5th gen wasn't affected, then my iPod was dropped in a parking lot and found later. Other than that, nothing has really happened to it, but both the front and back camera do not work. When I open up a camera, it's just black. The flash doesn't work either. Can anyone help me?

    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.
    - Reset all settings                            
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:                                               
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
    - 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.
      Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    Unless you purchased the optional AppleCare+ extended warranty,
    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Front and back cameras stopped working after IOS 8 update

    My front and back cameras both stopped working after i updated my phone to the IOS 8 software. Does anyone know why this would happen or any way of fixing it?

    Hi VictoriaViking,
    Not sure why your cameras stopped working with the update, or what the exact symptom is (black screen, no response...), but please check out the Camera troubleshooting section of this article.  (I know some don't apply to your issue.)
    iPhone: Hardware troubleshooting
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Cases can interfere with the camera and the flash. Try gently cleaning the lens with a clean dry cloth or removing the case if you see image or color-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center.
    Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. You can also tap to readjust focus while recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll.
    Take care,

  • Video storing on iPhone 5, front and back camera

    Ok I am going to be taking a fairly lengthy video in a few days. I have the iPhone 5 16 GB. I am needing to know how much space I need on my phone to store the video. The video is going to be around 45 minutes long. Anyone who can shed any light on this would be greatly appretiated. I would like to know how much memory I would need for both front and back camera.
    Thanks

    I have also found out that the front camera contains more noise than the back camera when taking photos. Is that normal?

  • I updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    i updated iphone 4 to ios 7.1 and the camera doesn't work. what can I do?

    First, 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 data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
    If this does not help, and to rule out a software issue, set it up as new device without using the latest backup, in case that backup contains corrupt data.
    Is the camera working after that, restore from the backup. Is the camera still not working, this might be a hardware failure and you'll have to get the phone serviced by Apple:

  • Difference between front and back camera on iphone 4s

    want to know the difference between the front and back camera on my new iphone 4s the pictures don't look the same the back camera seems to take a better picture than the one facing me.

    Back camera is 8 mega pixels and allows more light. Front cam is not different.

  • Still waiting on Apple to come up with front and back camera for laptop.

    The Ipad, Iphone and Ipod have front and back camera.  Why can't the laptops have front and back camera? I have a mac pro and it would be great if I don't always have to turn the laptop for people to see what I'm trying to show them. 

    You would like to be looking at something while using facetime (for
    example) and switch over to a different camera while continuing the
    conversation without moving the computer.  That way you could see what
    you are showing them without having to look sideways at the display.
    So basically he wants a rear view camera.
    There is a issue with this because computers are stationary and thus the rear view camera could be used as a covert monitoring device.
    At least with a iPod or iPhone when someone holds it a certain way you know they are taking a video or picture, with a desktop/laptop one wouldn't know.
    For instance say your a pretty girl in coffee shop using your laptop, so now instead of a bunch of rabid geeks trying to catch your eye you have all their laptop rear view cameras pointed at your direction and streaming it online.
    Creepy.
    If one wants a rear view camera, buy a third party one and mount it on the top. It comes with a swivel base and thus can be pointed at any direction. Thus people can see your video recording and it's not covert.
    A rear mounted camera requires the entire Mac to be moved, which in the case of a large iMac is impracticable. Laptops being moved increasing their chances of being damaged, even more so if they have hard drives.
    Also there are laws about covert video recording/taping in many States and countries, you have to do so with the persons consent so things are not taken out of context.
    I'll have to vote no on this, especially since not many people will use it and we will all have to pay for it.

  • IPhone 4, with iOS7 camera doesn't work

    Just got a iPhone 4 from my sister when she upgraded and updated it to iOS 7 and the camera doesn't work now. Is there anyway to get it to work?
    Thanks,
    Wayne

    Hello there WayneHope,
    It sounds like your camera is not launching at all. I want to recommend the troubleshooting outlined in this article named:

    Camera isn't functioning
    If the screen shows a closed lens or black image, force quit the Camera app.
    If you do not see the Camera app on the Home screen, try searching for it in Spotlight. If the camera does not show up in the search, check to make sure that Restrictions are not turned on by tappingSettings > General > Restrictions.
    Ensure the camera lens is clean and free from any obstructions. Use a microfiber polishing cloth to clean the lens.
    Third-party cases can interfere with the autofocus/exposure feature and the flash (iPhone 4 only); try removing the case if you have image-quality issues with photos.
    Try turning iPhone off and then back on.
    Tap to focus the camera on the subject. The image may pulse or briefly go in and out of focus as it adjusts.
    Try to remain steady while focusing:
    Still images: Remain steady while taking the picture. If you move too far in any direction, the camera automatically refocuses to the center. Note: If you take a picture with iPhone turned sideways, it is automatically saved in landscape orientation.
    Video: Adjust focus before you begin recording. After recording begins, you cannot readjust focus until you stop recording. Exiting the Camera application while recording will stop recording and will save the video to the Camera Roll. Note: Video-recording features are not available on original iPhone or iPhone 3G.
    If your iPhone has a front and rear camera, try switching between them to verify if the issue persists on both.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours. Note the older 16 GB 5G has only a front camera and the other 5Gs (16 GB released late last month and the 32 and 64 GB 5Gs have both front and back cameras)

  • I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped

    I have a black iphone 5 and my flash doesn't work it used to work every once in a while but stopped I went into the camera app and tried to see if it would flash when I took a picture but I saw it light very faintly and hasn't done lot up since. Should I get the led replaced?

    First, try bringing up Control Center by swiping up from the bottom of the home screen.  Turn on the flashlight by tapping the icon in the lower left.  Does the flashlight work?  If not, perhaps you have a hardware issue.
    If it works, check the top of the screen when you open the Camera app to make sure you have the flash on.
