Why won't my front camera work?

When i open my camera on my ipod the camera wont let me take pictures.

If the shutter will not open try the following in order:
- Reset the iPod:
Reset iPod touch:  Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
-Restore the iPod from backup via iTunes on your computer
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod via itunes- .
- Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store or call AppleCare since you likely have a hardware problem. You can see other similar posts by searching the iPod Touch forum for: stuck shutter.

    Why doesn't my front camera work

    Camera
    Camera isn't functioning or has undesired image quality
    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.
    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.

  • Why won't my iMac camera work on Omegle?

    A few weeks ago I started using Facetime on my iPad. Ever since I did that the camera on my iMac won't work on websites like Omegle. I turned off Facetime on my iPad and the camera worked again on my iMac. Once I turned it back on (and tried turning it off again) my camera on my iMac just will not work. I've installed the latest flash player all the latest updates but nothing seems to work. I'm able to use my camera in photobooth. When I open up Omegle I don't get the pop up window to ask me to allow and when I try to turn the camera on by hovering over where my picture would be, it doesn't allow me to. When I click the red button, nothing happens. I have pretty much zero programs installed on my iMac to begin with and I just have no idea what's causing the problem. I thought it had something to do with Facetime but maybe that was just a conicidence. Does anyone have any suggestions? I'm starting to get really frustrated.

  • Why won't my rear camera work?

    My rear camera on my iPhone 4S has not been working for a while now, the front one works occasionally but the back one is completely broken. I got the phone at Christmas, i wonder if there is anything I could do that could help to save me having to travel to go to my nearest apple store? Thank you

    User troubleshooting is restart, reset, restore from backup, restore as new. If none of those fix the problem, the last step is the trip to the Apple store. See the user guide http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/iphone_user_guide.pdf or you can use this troubleshooting link. http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/troubleshooting/

  • Why won't my forward camera work on my iPod touh, Why won't my forward camera work on my iPod touh

    Hello. I was recently outside for a good tournament for 6 hours. After about 3 hours my iPod got extremely hot. I had a cooler with a n ice pack inside and I thought it would cool it down. So I put it in their and forgot about it but I took it out after I remembered it. But it got hot again and I did the same thing. But this time it was in there closer. And today I tried taking a picture of myself and the forward camera doesn't open and it goes back to the camera facing away from me. And snap chat doesn't work either now. I don't know if the two are tied together or not. Any help will be much appreciated.

  • Why won't Sony MiniDV cameras work on a Imac 17 isight?

    Everyone has always said they will, BUT every Sony miniDV I reseach says USB connectivity and ilink (what ever that is) and no mention of a firewire connection at all. They don't even include a firewire cable. I'm not getting some info that I really need before I purchase on of these. I like Sony but I don't want to make a mistake. All I want to do is make movies, edit them on my iMac 17 isight (with a program that came with it - which program do I use?). Then just burn the rascal to a DVD. Any helpers out ther?

    Hello msgraphik,
    did you actually try one? i have two sony cameras and they connect perfectly well.
    i think you have a misunderstanding here: sony calls the firewire connection iLink ... don't ask me why.
    i don't know if sony includes a firewire cable, but hey ... 5$ for a cable is not that much.
    hope this helps

    I had the same problem- go to Utilities, General, Use Side Switch To, and change it from Mute to Lock Rotation- this solved the problem for me.
    Good luck!

    why on new ipad front camera are so fuzzy almost in any light and condition ?

    The front camera on the new iPad has a resolution of 640 x 480 = 0.3 megapixels
    That is almost 17 times less resolution than its rear camera!
