Many lines on my screen, impossible to see.

As you can see, I have many lines on my screen. I can not see anything under those lines. I have VNC'ed into my computer to check, and it is the connections to the monitor, not a problem with something else. I have booked a meeting at the genius bar this Sunday, but I was wondering if anyone had a fix.
Thanks.

so the two lines that i had on my screen, The one seems to be little by little going away everyday...The long line is almost completely gone...I know this is still something i should get replaced..but how is this possible..If the lines completely vanish, how can i show the people what is wrong?

A few months back I Dropped my iPhone 4 and I cracked my screen and now i cant unlock my phone due to touch screen not working plus there are blurred lines across the screen and I can't see anything that it displays.
Now when I try too connect my iPhone 4 to iTunes on my computer at home an error message comes up saying that I have to unlock my iPhone 4 for it to communicate to my device.
But the problem is that I can't unlock my iPhone 4 because I'm unable to see the key pad and my touch screen no longer responds when I touch it.
I just want to reset my iPhone 4 back to its Factory Settings & start all over from the beginning.
How can I unlock my iPhone 4 with iTunes on my computer or any other option you suggest me trying.
Thank you in advance,

If you have had a "local guy "repair your iphone you will not get any support from Apple for warranty OR post warranty
If Verizon return it to Apple it wil not be handled by Apple
If Verizon also use unauthorised repairers you may be lucky
(Apple do not sell parts to local guys or anyone else )

Hi Paul ,
It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.
Do you get any error message while registering for the product?
Try repairing it and once and also check for updates as well.
Is it happening with all the word files or any specific one'?

I've had the same problem, and sorted it using this:
Run the Boot Camp Assistant in OS X as normal and create a partition when asked, then insert your Windows 7 disc to reboot and begin the process proper.
Windows 7 requires the NTFS file system, so once in the installer just select your new partition (labelled BOOTCAMP), click on Drive options (Advanced) and choose to format it. Then select the newly formatted partition and continue.
Windows 7 will begin installing, and once it gets almost to the bottom of its checklist, it’ll try to reboot. Now, if you leave it here, you’ll get so far and see the black screen. Any further attempts to reboot will bring you to the same dead end.
Instead, restart and press a key to boot from the Windows 7 disc when prompted.
Rather than running the installation again, choose the little option at the bottom to Repair your computer. Decline any suggestions that pop up until you see a list of options with Command Prompt at the bottom. Choose that option.
At the Command Prompt, type DEL C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\DRIVERS\ATIKMDAG.SYS to delete the default ATI driver, then close the window and reboot.
This time, Windows should successfully initialise a more appropriate display driver, allowing you into the desktop. From here insert your OS X disc to install the relevant hardware drivers as you normally would, then run Windows update to clear up any leftovers.

I JUST HAD A PROBLEM WITH MY IPHONE "4GS".THE SCREEN DISPLAY ARE BLANK.ALL THE APP ITS GONE.JUST HAVE ONLY "BLACK AND BLUE LINE"INSIDE THE SCREEN.ALL THE PHONE FUNCTION STILL ABLE TO RECIVED THE CALL BUT UNABLE TO MAKE PHONE CALL BECAUSE THE TAP ICON ARE GONE.

Not sure what the origin of the problem is, but you should try deleting iDVD's preference files.
First, close iDVD and go to your Home(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/com.apple.idvd.plist
Drag this plist file to the trash. iDVD will automatically create a new fresh one when you reopen it.
Open iDVD.
See if the main screen is now visible.
Post back if that did not help.

I don't know what service options are available in India but if this helps I do know that once you purchase your Apple product the warranty is valid anywhere in the world.

My iphone 5 stopped working. I only see a thin white line on the screen

My iphone stopped working. I can only see a thing white line on the screen and the screen does not respond at all although turning the phone on vibrate makes it vibrate. The screen has been cracked for some time but has worked fine until today.
Thanks for any help.

Hi susiesunshine,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the screen on your iPhone is cracked and it's only displaying a white line. This generally means that the iPhone needs to be sent in for service, see the articles below for more information about the service suggestion and repair pricing.

Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.

Satellite A660 - Lines on the screen

Hi all,
I've noticed just recently that when I turn my laptop on there's a strip of what looks like a line of black smudge. Furthermore, I've got lines everywhere that renders it almost impossible to see!
Now there's no way in hell I've dropped it, nor have I left anything on the laptop at all, and when I checked there wasn't any visible cracks on the screen. In regards to proper maintenance, I use it a hell of a lot at Uni but I usually carry it around in a laptop bag which has a compartment for it, I turn it off whenever I'm not using it and I certainly do go dropping it or leaving anything on it that could cause it to crack.
What the hell has happened? Could it of cracked internally? And if so, how the fudge did that happen w/out any force? Unless there might've been some trauma that I didn't know about, but seeing as it happened about 45mins after I last turned it off and turned it on AND it being in the same spot I left it which was on my computer desk, I'd say that's a farfetched possibility.
I bought this September 29th last year so I'm still covered by warranty. I checked online that I have an "International Limited Warranty". Is that the standard warranty? I checked also if the screen is covered by warranty and it says in the "WHAT IS NOT COVERED" that:
"Damage caused by accident, intentional or accidental misuse, abuse, neglect or improper maintenance, use under abnormal
conditions, including fracture or damage to the LCD (screen), casework, cables, AC Adaptors, keyboard keys, covers, plugs
and latches."
So seeing as it probably falls under "accident", that means it's not covered? That's bollocks. Surely there's a way that this could be covered under warranty? I'm not in any sort of position to go spending another big buck to get this thing repaired...
I bought this from Harvey Norman, Australia which is a well-known retailer for these sorts of products.
Any help is great help and I look forward to your replies.
Kind regards,
Charles.

Hello
Are you sure this problem is related to internal screen? Theoretically it could be the graphic card itself and you can check this by connecting an external monitor. If you can see the same lines on it its graphic card itself, otherwise the internal screen.
But I think in both cases you need professional help from an authorized service provider. The guys can check your notebook, order new spare parts and replace them for you. Also they can give you an exact answer if this is covered by warranty or not. Here in forum we can only speculate about this and its user to user forum only.
So get in contact with an ASP in your country. Im sure the problem can be fixed with the guys as fast as possible. :)

4 Vertical coloured lines on my screen

I bought this ibook in August 2005 in Brighton, England, UK. For the first 3 months it worked with no problems. I then noticed 4 vertical lines on the screen. The lines run form top to bottom of the screen and they are evenly spaced across the screen. They are orange, yellow, purple and white and about 1mm across.
Any ideas on how to fix this problem?
Many thanks,
Pete

Hi Hanoipete,
Welcome to Apple Discussions,
You may want to look at Knowledge Base Document #22194 on About LCD display pixel anomalies as well as try running PiXel Check. If all else fails, bring it to your local Apple Store and see if they will replace it.

Hi John, I'm guessing that icon is created and updated by an extension. I'm not sure which one, though. Maybe something that is tracking the trackers, like Lightbeam? Have you tried hovering your mouse over the icon to see whether a tooltip appears, or clicking it?

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing
Hello all
Got an iMac since January 2008 and I do like it a lot, even though it has some issues:
-- It displays (quite often) lines partially across the screen
-- Lines appear as well when opening applications or when menus come up
-- The system freezes more than I like to admit (more than my Windows/Ubuntu box)
I don't know if the freezing has to do with the lines that are shown on my screen. But I assume that both issues relate to some video card problem. I can't be sure - but that's what I assume from living with this issue day to day.
The line on the desktop (most of the time it is there before login) I can always get rid of by changing the display resolution to something else and then changing it back. Normally the line is gone, or, reappears on a different spot on the desktop. But repeating the procedure removes the line.
However, this does not mean that the lines are not showing up again when launching apps or displaying menus!
And since those lines appear to happen randomly, I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking dead pixels here, either...
About the freezing:
My iMac freezes sometimes when I move the mouse around, when switching desktops using "spaces" or when the zoom function of the Dock kicks in. Sometimes the screen goes completely black, sometimes completely white. The mouse, however, always works. But the system requires a reboot.
Again, this happens too often to feel comfy about it.
With my little knowledge of Mac troubleshooting I assume that there's something wrong with the ATI card that's built into my Mac. On the other hand, some people say that they started getting similar issues after updating their OS to Leopard. Again other people say that such issues stem from an ATI revision that is too old and the Mac should get a new ATI card. And how would that work? Isn't that an "all-in-one" machine with everything soldered onto the mainboard?
So, any help in this matter is greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Rainer

Here are a few screen photos I've taken (not screenshots, as the lines are not visible when taking screenshots. I used my digicam to snap those...).
Here's the link to those screen photos displaying some of the many lines I keep having:

HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
ITunes is up to date.

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.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: How to back up
- 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.
