  • Front camera not working

    Hi, I was wondering if anyone else has had the same problem as myself in regards to the front camera not working. All I seem to get is a black screen! I'm not sure if I need to activate it somehow or it's just not working? Thanks Ross

    UPDATE:  After the intial Factory Data Reset, the camera work fine for one day.  Now it's back to the same blank screen in the front camera.  Also now my video camera isn't working either.  I get an error msg "Recording in progress in another app. Cannot record".  I know some folks were having issues with the "OK Google" app.  I checked mine and all is unchecked.   Spent most of the day talking with Sony and Verizon and neither was able to help me other than Verizon offered a refurbed phone.  No thank you, my phone is new.  **bleep** Sony?  If anyone can help, it would be greatly appreciated.

  • HT201406 Ipod touch 5th generation front camera not working?

    Ive had my ipod for at least 3-4 months now, and just today my front camera stopped working! I go to my camera app, (the built in one) and it defaults to the back camera. when I tap the little switch icon, I get a blurry, and sometimes black, screen. as if the shutter isnt opening. I have updated the ios software and shut down the ipod multiple times. I really dont want to reset the ipod because it will delete my apps.

  • Why does my iPod 4g front camera not work?

    I have an iPod 4g for over a year now. The front camera no longer works. Whenever I click the button to switch it to the front camera, the last image from the rear camera just freezes. I have tried restarting my iPod and even resetting it. It still doesn't work. I don't have the warranty on it anymore either. Please help! Also, if there is no solution to this, can I go to an Apple store and get it fixed? Do I have to go to an Apple store only? How much would it cost to get fixed? Thank you.

  • IPhone 6 Plus front camera not working or with lines and static?

    My iPhone 6 Plus front camera is having problems. Sometimes it doesn't work at all and the camera app freezes. Sometimes it works fine for a little while and sometimes it shows multi color static or lines.
    I've tried:
    Restoring from phone (without restoring backup)
    Restoring from iTunes (without restoring backup)
    Deleting ispw and re-downloading iOS 8.1.1 then restore
    The phone is less than 2 months old. I noticed it acting weird a week or so after I bought it but thought it was just software. At first it wouldn't work when using the camera app but worked fine using facetime. Now it acts up regardless.
    Any advice or opinions will be much appreciated.

    I have always used the iPhone's LED flashing alert to notify me when I get a call or text message. While I was on iOS 8 Beta 2-4 it was working fine. I did a clean install of the complete iOS 8 release and ever since then, the flash alert doesn't work.
    Sometimes it will work on incoming calls, but will not work on text messages. I've tried soft/hard rebooting, clean wipe and fresh installs, and pretty much anything in between. Now, today I got my 128GB Gold ATT iPhone 6 Plus, and it's the same thing. Updated to iOS 8.1, reset everything/deleted all contents and settings. Both fresh install, and iCloud backups and still no alerts on text messages, but now I get them on calls. I tried my girls ATT 128GB iPhone 6 and she has the same problem too. My old phone was a 64GB iPhone 5S and hers was a 32GB iPhone 5. Everything was good until the official release of iOS 8.
    I've tried searching for related issues, and haven't found anything since 2011 with a quick Google search. Most links just tell you how to turn the flash alert on but no new issues. All of my devices are on iOS 8.1.  I gave my father my 64GB 5S with a clean install and he still has the issue as well. So, that makes my iPhone 6 Plus, my girls iPhone 6 and my fathers iPhone 5S not flashing LED on messages and sometimes calls. There aren't any custom vibrations enabled on any if the devices. Has anyone else experienced this problem? Is it a known bug or am I just not doing something right here? i never had an issue before the iOS 8 release. Any help would be appreciated.
    Are you a developer?  IF so try asking in the developer forum.

  • Itouch4 front camera not working after ios 5.0.1 update

    Please help

    I have the same problem and I've tried everything!!! There are sooo many people with this same problem but Apple can't help anyone that isn't under warranty anymore!!! This is a big problem for many people that Apple should recognize and offer replacements or solutions for. It's only after the update that my camera stopped working (and this is also true for many other ipod touch users). This issue is obviously caused by Apple either making faulty hardware, software, or both. I really hope that they will resolve this issue soon because it is not fair for those who are no longer covered by the warranty.

  • Why is my video cam NOT working again after it had been sent in to get fixed already

    Model Number: QE024UA
    Model Description: HP PAVILION DV6-6169US NOT
    Serial Number: 5CH1430SD9
    I had my computer sent to get the video cam working... they sent it back and it worked for about 2-3wks and is not working again also when I call someone elses computer I can hear and see them but they can no longer see or hear me. Cant see due to video not working again again on my part but they used to be able to at least hear me.. Now neither works. I have written plenty of messages to HP (at least 3 that I remember) but with no reply. Not a happy camper right now about this. When I bought this computer It had everything I thought I needed and more for my basic use. I chat on facebook Play their game and browse the web.. watch my netflix. I never really needed a video cam but now since family life has changed and I live so far away from them I specifically ordered this computer cuz of its high quality in video plus I liked the fact it played Blue-Ray. I used to have a Dell that lasted me a good 5yrs of usage. I have had this less than 3mnths and twice the cam has gone out on me.

    I'm avoiding buying anything else to use my iMac and had the same problem. I have PC headset with mic and headphones and also a Motorola bluetooth headset, neither worked how they should, no mic function:
    I can use the pc headphones that I already had (just didn't input the mic jack part), and the iMac built-in mic together as I chat.
    Just go to System Preferences and make the Sound settings for Output to built-in Headpones and Input to Internal Microphone -select "Use ambient noise reduction.
    Its a get-around, but it works.
