I updated to iOS8 on my iPod Touch 5th gen, and now the camera is not working. I just get a black screen.
Also if I use any other App that uses the camera such as Instagram, the camera does not working.
Did a reset, still just a black screen.
iPod touch (5th generation), iOS 7.0.3
Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.
Did that. Nothing.
I'm seeing a lot of people posting on the web, having the same problem with iPhones
Why would it be a hardware problem? It's worked fine until upgrading to iOS8 yesterday. Sounds like a program bug if anything.
Other users have reported yur same symptom out of the blue so I it would seem to be a hardware problem if restoring to factory settings/new iPod does not resolve the problem
If you successfully restored (went through all steps without error) to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.
Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store..
Well that *****, because my device worked Perfectly before "downgrading" to iOS8,
Majorly ***** because I'm not in the US and we don't have Apple stores Genius bars where I am and I'm out of warranty
I guess they "got" me, unless enough people complain and they issue a patch for this. I won't be buying another one, that's for sure.
Got it working after reading an iPhone thread.
Go to Settings>General>Date & Time>Set Automatically>On.
Privacy>Location Services>On
Camera is working as it should again.
Bug in the iOS upgrade problem, not a hardware problem.
Camera stopped working after ios8 upgrade
