Ipad.2 with 5.1.1 camera wont save pics

You are already on iOS 5.x so the iPad does not need a laptop for a basic restore. You will need internet via wi-fi.

So, laptop or not, you should be able to restore the iPad to basic function. Restoring your data will go faster if you operate off a local backup off the laptop, but if you do a backup via iCloud you can restore from there as well, but it takes a fast internet connection to work well, especially if you have a lot of apps.

That said, you may not want to restore from a backup. This can easily re-introduce whatever caused the problem in the fist place.

In either case, be absolutely to save off everything important before you do before any kind of restore. Go through all your apps, Camera Roll, etc. Anything that is not an iTunes purchase needs to find a safe home off the iPad. With the exception of some movies and TV Shows, almost all iTunes content can be downloaded again. That's not true for any documents or data you've stored in apps.

I see so after I do a restore should I use iCloud or a new and just restore everything again, I have a 4G wifi so that won't be a problem

Your choice. The cleanest bet is to just manually add everything again.

If you only have a few apps and few documents, a clean restore should be fairly painless.

If you have a lot of apps, documents, etc., it might be worth trying a restore from backup first, just to see if it fixes the problem. If it does not, then do the clean restore.

If none of this works, you're probably going to have to try Apple Support. Or use it as an excuse to by a new iPad.

Well I erased all data and everything and restored it from iCloud and still same issue and just found out the video recorder doesn't even record man this is terrible

Ok. One more try, but restore it as a new device. It is possible that you restored whatever was wrong with it by using your iCloud backup. Not likely, but possible.

If it still does not work, it is probably hardware. At any rate, you will probably have to go through Apple to straighten it out.

So if I do that can I restore it again if it doesnt work and use iCloud to back it up again
