After upgrading to IOS 7 back camera is not working only get a black screen, swithing to front camera it worlks once then freezes

I just ran across this thread, my iPad (3rd gen) did hte same thing. I've restored, re-booted, installed Camera Awesom. No luck. This *****.

same problem here, i've tried everything without any luck. Please fix your firmware Apple!

i've got the same problem here with my iphone 4, it happened after upgrading to IOS 7.0.4, but it's my front camera which not working. my rear Camera is working perfectly but when i swich to front camera it freezes.

I am sure that it's related to software,

Apple should be aware of this and come with a solution.

I have contacted Apple about this topic and have got very good and helpfull support. I recommend that you contact your nearest Apple-store / center or Apple's online support, and explain what happen after upgrading to IOS 7. Apple are very proud of their products and want their customers to be happy and satiesfied. Therefore I am sure that they will hjelp you the same way they hjelped me. Thank you Apple.

I'll try Apple when I get back in 10 days. I've been holding off to avoid having to pay for "repairs" but it seems that's the only way to "fix" this. I'll post back and let you know how the discussion went.

I got the exact problem in my iPad 4 which is upgraded to iOS 7. I called AppleCare and was requested to do all the reboot and restart including factory reset from MacBook but problem still exists. Finally, I booked the Genius Bar and confirmed by the apple expert it is a hardware issue and replaced with a new one. Now everything restored after upgraded to 7.0.4 and camera is back to normal.

Of course replacing it would fix the problem. Sounds to me that "confirming" it as a hardware issue is a lazy way out. And an easy way to make a new sale.

Totally agreed with you pesticidal.

Actually, i gave a remark to Applecare to follow-up whether it is a iOS issue or not as i also suspect it is not a h/w issue.

Anyway, it really works after replacing another iPad. May be different batches of iPad are using different model of the camera that iOS 7 does not support all well.

Dear Apple,

We demand a fix or at least an option to downgrade our equipments to iOS 6.x.x . Because we had a WORKING ipad/iphone and just after upgrading with your firmware it doesn't work anymore. I believe it's fair that you give us a solution even if we are not covered by the warranty time, remember it was you... launching a software supposedly compatible with our hardware and now you want us to buy a new one. We trusted you, don't dissapoint us.

I have the same issue. Few weeks after installing 7.0.4, rear camera stopped working. Front one seems to work fine. I reseted, reinstalled, re-everything and it doesn't work. Of course the flashlight is also not working, as it appears grayed out in the quick-settings menu.

Now I found another bug too. The dock menu also started flickering! It goes away when you enter another app. Apple: please start doing things right...

It looks like the flickering happens in every gray or blurred background...

This issue REALLY needs to be resolved..my camera is still not working since oct after updating it and I keep hoping someone here has a solution..I called Apple support and all they did was had me restart and reboot which i've done so many times. I am not trying to buy another phone without warranty when it was working fine before! Can some genius find the solution since Apple will wait after the holiday season when everyone has to be a new phone!

Hi Everyone with the same camera problem. I think its disgusting what Apple are trying to do to we minions as they like to think of us. Or customers as I like to think of us. hey keep telling us that our guarantee or warranty has run out so they are not responsible if something, through no fault of our own, goes wrong with our Iphone. Now I am no lawyer, but as fr as I can see, if we go armed with the "Sale of Goods Act" to the Apple Geniuses, I very much think we will have a case.

The link for that is; www.oft.gov.uk/shared_oft/738369/738375/OFT002_SOGA_explained.pdf

My advise is read that through thoroughly. They have made it pretty easy to understand. It says that for up to six years you could still have rights. Even if your warranty has expired. I am going into the Apple store to see the "Geniuses" on Monday 09/12/13. I will report back on what they say.

I went to visit Apple today. Again, no luck. The best they would offer is to replace my iPad2 for CAD$250 which could not be used as credit towards a new model. Genius told me that I could not blame Apple because of the user agreement I agreed to. I am completely disappointed in the company that, in my book, was tops in user experience.
