Why wont my iPod 4G camera function properly, and how do I fix it?

So, my older sister used to own this iPod 4G but then broke the screen on it, so she got a new iPod 5th generation instead, while my dad replaced the screen on the iPod 4G and gave it to me. Now, ever since the new screen was installed, both cameras would have horrifying quality or wouldn't work at all, because they're always flashing colors like blue, purple, and green, while the front camera might show almost everything in red. At first I thought it was because my sister dropped it on the concrete, but she acctually took a picture after it fell and everything was fine. I wanted to know if a wire might be loose, if it's just something wrong with the cameras themselves, or if my dad might've done something, and how can I fix it. I've already got two new camera that I might try to replace the old ones with, but first I need another oppinion wether or not its worth the risk of having no camera at all.

It is hit or miss whether replacing the cameras will resolve the problem. I would first try taking it apart and then carefully disconnecting and reconnecting the camera cables.
Since it both cameras it is likely not a problem with the logic board but still could be.

  • Why wont my ipod touch sync with itunes, and how can I fix it

    Key Facts:
    -I have an ipod touch (model number MC008LL)
         -It's probably running the same iOS id did in the package
    -It won't sync (and more importantly update to i0S5)
         -It's not a failed/slow sync, the option to sync as well as all other options under "Devices" is Grayed out
    -I am running iTunes 11.0.4
    -the Belkin cord I am using charges the ipod, and I think it was the one I used to sync it before.

    You have a 3G iPod and those can go as high as 5.1.1.  What exactly happens when you connect the iPod to your computer and try to update via iTunes? You need iTunes 10,5 or higher on the computer.
    After you get it updated see if syncs.

  • Why doesn't the iPod classic sync properly, and how do I fix it?

    Notes
    Before anyone mentions the lame suggestion of "Restoring", let me add that I have done that. Alot.
    I'm pretty good with computers, so please get as nerdy as you want, just as long as you're only trying to help me.
    This disscussion should only be about this particular problem, please refrain from posting you're problems to this (Make your own discussion).
    If necessary, contact me via email if you need more information, or have other misc. questions or inqueries.

    Additional Details
    The iPod works fine after immediate restoration, however, after adding 500 or so songs it seems to quit responding and appears to terminate communications with computer while freezing iTunes. After fiddling around I usually grow tired and unplug it and iTunes quickly displays a message saying to restore the iPod, although it's unplugged... This happens everytime, so it's not a rare situation for me. I've tried repeatedly on two Windows computers and a brand new Mac.

  • Where is my iPod's camera roll backup, and how can I get it back onto iPod

    I was having trouble with my iPod Touch 5 and the new update of iTunes, 12.0.1.26.  I digress here but this is why I hate updating iTunes, and now kinda hate Apple stuff in general, because every time I've updated iTunes in the past it's given me trouble with my devices and syncing.  But I'm not here to hate on Apple, I love my device, I just wish the software and workflow was more intuitive.
    But on to my problem.  I plugged in my iPod and opened the iTunes update.  Bought some songs from the store, decided to rework my playlists, but when I try to sync them to my ipod, it doesn't show up.  The playlists show up in my ipod within itunes, but i can't access them from my ipod because they aren't there.  The songs I purchased from the store show up perfectly well, I just had to download them from the cloud.  But my new lists with the songs uploaded from my computer won't work.
    Long story short I finally got tired of this and restored my ipod.  Mostly because I couldn't find anyone else on here with the same problem and didn't want to take the time to ask. Looking back, that might've been a better idea.
    I have restored the backup and I have all my old apps, and I have my new playlists.  All I'm missing is my photo roll, which I don't understand why it wasn't restored along with all my apps.
    I am wondering if this is possible because there were many pictures on there that have special meaning to me.
    Thank you!

    - The iTunes backup that iTunes makes included photos in the camera roll. If yo go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices what is the date of the backup? Is it when the photos were on the iPod? You have to restore from that backup.
    - What may have happened is that you backup the iPod after you restored the iPod but before restoring from backup. iTunes only keeps one backup and overwrites the previous backup with the changes.

  • Why is my 2009 macbook running soooooo slowly and how can I fix it?

    My 2009 macbook pro is running slowly.  By slowly I mean in everything it does, it takes a long time loading (eg. turning on, opening apps, surfing the web, streaming videos, etc.)
    I used EtreCheck to generate an overview of the state of my mac.  Below is a copy of EtreCheck's report, starting with a my description of the problem:
    Problem description:
    My mac is running SOOOO slowly.  I think it might be a RAM problem, but a lot of the processes shown in the Activity Monitor under Memory are related kernel_task.  It looks like Google uses a bunch, as well as Window Server, loginwindow, https://itunes.apple.com, all of which (less Google) are also kernel_task.

  • Why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    why my ipodmy ipod displays do not disconnect and wont sync but can be restored?

    If it is a problem than I have it too. Mine does the
    same as long as I don't stop the device via the
    little green arrow icon (USB manager) down by the
    clock.
    I never really need to use the Ipod when it is hooked
    into the PC because everything is done through
    iTunes. I just thought it said "do not disconnect"
    because it was associated with both iTunes and the PC
    as a hard disk.
    If I stop the device or "eject" the iPod, it goes
    from do not disconnect to the normal menu tree.
    So when you take the USB cable out of the iPod, it goes back to normal?
    If that's what you mean, mine does that too.
    It's just that I read that if you remove the USB cable from your iPod while it says 'do not disconnect', it can wipe all your music....
