camera not working...black screen

Try closing the Camera app completely and see if it works when you re-open the app : from the home screen (i.e. not with the Camera app 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Camera app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

If that doesn't work also do a reset : 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.

Thank you for your clear instructions, same problem solved for me on ipad NG . . . Phew!

Thanks a lot for your instructions! The second version with the reset did it and I am up and running again!

With best regards

Thank you so much. Did the reset worked perfectly. Was so afraid I had screwed something up.

Curious what made this happen?
