IOS – Native Camera app deleted on iPad mini

cameraiosipadphoto-booth

The native camera app on my iPad mini got deleted somehow. Also, I couldn't find it in the App Store to download. It happened on iOS 10.3. I just now upgraded to iOS 11.

The iPad also had Photo Booth app which is also invisible now. On the App Store, the app shows an open button next to Photo Booth app, but nothing happens upon tapping on it.

Can someone please help?

It sounds like Camera is disabled in Settings > General > Restrictions. This removes the Camera and FaceTime apps. A similar post on Apple's forums said that the Photo Booth app was removed by this restriction.

This third-party article on an MDM tool says that the restriction removes the Photo Booth app:

Disable Camera

The camera will be completely disabled. This also remove the Camera, Photobooth, and Facetime apps on the home screen.

It would make sense that the restriction available in the UI flips the same bit as the MDM restriction.

Mac – the real native maximum resolution of mid–2010 iMac’s iSight camera

I think it's 1280x1024, as that's what the LED backlit MacBook Pro's and onwards used. The Lion version of Photo Booth uses the max resolution and crops it.

720x480 is actually a standard resolution - it's what most DVD's use.

With an Application such as iExplorer navigate to PhotoData / MISC where you'll find a file called DCIM_APPLE.plist which contains the following:

<plist version="1.0">
<dict>
    <key>DCIMLastDirectoryNumber</key>
    <integer>100</integer>
    <key>DCIMLastFileNumber</key>
    <integer>251</integer>
</dict>
</plist>

The DCIMLastFileNumber parameter is quite self explanatory. Set the number at which you want the counter to start at and restart the iPhone to apply the changes.
