Problems with horizontal lines on the iMac. Someone knows the solution?

For several months my Imac has horizontal lines have been growing. Problems with horizontal lines on the iMac. Someone knows the solution?

You have 14 days to return the computer w/no questions asked.  Plus you have 90 days of FREE phone tech support on top of your standard 1 year warranty unless you also purchased AppleCare which gives you an additional 2 years of coverage plus FREE phone support.
Strongly suggest that you take FULL advantage of the above before it runs out.  Let Apple deal w/the problems.
That being said, no new Mac comes w/Snow Leopard which your profile confirms you have.

  • Problems with importing films  in iMovie11. Who knows the answer?

    How can I import films from my Sony DCR-SR36 videocamera in iMovie11? I've problems with trying this. Only once iMovie recognized my camera but didn't import sound. The other times I tried I used the import function of iMovie11 and saw the several MPEG files but weren't able to import them. Who can help me out, or is it not possible in any way?
    Thanks!

    Hi, here is the rule to change in the CSS stylesheet:
    ul.MenuBarHorizontal li
        margin: 0px;
        padding: 0;
        list-style-type: none;
        font-size: 83%;
        position: relative;
        text-align: left;
        cursor: pointer;
        width: auto;    /change this from a measure to auto*/
    padding-left: 1em; /*add padding-left to space the items out /
        float: left;
    If you are going to have drop down menus, there will be more things to change, but this should do the trick for a single row menu.

  • When I turn on messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines and a text list of addresses.  How can I get the regular message screen back?

    When I turn on Messages, I can't see my messages.  All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines.  How can I get the regular Messages screen back?

    The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

  • My iphone 4s screen turned freaked out before my eyes, changing all different colours, now it is blue and black along the right side with horizontal lines, and is flickering. I DIDN'T DROP IT.

    I was just sitting on the couch scrolling through facebook, I closed out of that and went to open safari, when it spazzed out, for a few mintutes it looked like LSD vision, it was all different colours and flickering the whole time. I turned it off and on again, and plugged it into my computer and now the right side is nearly completely blue, and bleeds to the left side with horizontal lines, and it is still flickering. I just finished paying the **** thing off. I thought I'd get another year out of it. I have taken exemplary care of it and it hasn't left the case since the day I bought it. I haven't dropped it, there was no warning for the screen to start doing this. So my question is, is there an easy fix (I am about to restore and update it, and I already played around with the screen brightness), and if not, am I going to have to pay for the screen to be replaced, because I don't have that kind money.

    Probably sounded funnier in your head.

  • CC 3D text + postcard problem! horizontal line after render!

    Hi.
    I tried to make a 3D text, using a 3D text with a background postcard layer. I merge the two layers and then render it. But during the rendering process i get a horizontal line of light and shadow in the center of the finished layer.
    like this http://oi61.tinypic.com/5wl35x.jpg
    A friend has send me a PS file and told me to check it out. I played around with it and I've found out that when i use his postcard layer (so the one in the file he send me) and merged it with a 3D object, it turns out fine. Without the line. But as soon as i make my own postcard layer and use that one, i get the bug again.
    The line is always in the center and horizontal, no matter where my 3D object is placed.
    I checked on the basic 3D settings of the postcard layer, compared his to mine and couldn't find any differences. My PC is new and very powerful, it also can't be my GPU, since it turns out fine when i use his postcard layer.
    I also tried resetting the presets by removing that file from the folder in appdata, but it didn't fix my problem.
    Please someone help me! I bought a PC just to learn 3D work and it's very frustrating and discouraging  to be stuck at the beginning like that.

    Hi SG,
    I dont know how to move the mesh and camera, but i did change the Ground Plane Shadow opacity to 0% and it did get rid of the line, even tho the final product looked different. The background got a lot brighter, which is probably easy fixable/adjustable.

    The tutorial you linked is really nice and I will definitely try it out, but it's not the same. The shadows are on the "ground" below the 3D Text. In my linked tutorial the shadows are on the "wall" behind the 3D Text. Sorry to be so picky right now, I really want this bug to be gone and it's such a strange bug, when other peoples postcardlayers work on my rig, but my own won't. I'm a beginner and I don't even know what else you can do with a postcard layer, but I know I will need it at some point.
    I also appreciate your guys help so far. You are investing your time and thoughts and all that for free. Thank you.
    edit: here is the difference between using my friends postcardlayer vs using my own, but turning the Ground Plane Shadow opacity to 0%.
    http://oi59.tinypic.com/2ic5d08.jpg
    http://oi62.tinypic.com/2aipjl0.jpg
    the shadow position is slightly different and the proper version has some lighting(?) on top. The proper versions shadows and lighting look more dynamic/alive(?). I don't know the right terms. To be honest, I would properly be just as picky if it was the other way around :/
    edit: I just tried out turning up the Ground Plane Reflections (while shadows on 0%) just to see what it does and it brought the line back.

  • HT2807 why is there a horizontal line across my imac screen?

    why is there a horizontal line across my imac screen?

    Not sure exactly which model your iMac is..?
    see > How to identify iMac models
    Sadly display lines generally indicate a problem with either the Display or the Graphic's Chip.
    To check, take a screen shot of the display using the (Command Shift 3) keys and open it.
    If the line is only seen on the Display and not in a screen shot, then it would most likely indicate a Display problem.
    If the line shows up in a screen shot, then it would most likely indicate a Graphic's Ciip problem.

  • Not printing properly with horizontal lines

    HP Officejet Pro 8500A
    Not printing properly (Faded colors) with horizontal lines, printing excess pages with odd scripts.  I suspect printer heads.
    All color cartidges are full.  
    Printing can be direct from computer or by scanning from the printer.  Either way, it has the same issues.

  • Major Problem with kernel panic on new iMac: HELP!

    My housemates 24" core 2 duo imac kernel panicked when playing Call of duty 2 (side question: if anyone has any reason why it keeps freezing and the screen getting full of horizontal lines would love to hear from you)
    Now I can not start the computer. Whenever I restart, it plays the chime, but then has another kernel panic. Spoke to apple.. i reset the pram.. and then it came back.. ive zero data deleted my hardrive then re-installed osx.. and it is still doing it!! (i ran hardware tests and said everything was working fine..)
    The graphics card is nvidia 7600GT
    Also.. When starting up the imac, just after the apple logo white screen turns to the desktop, the screen flashes a lime green for a split second.. i know that shouldnt happen!
    It wont let me send a report to apple wen i get a window saying "imac shut down unexpectantly".. when the button clicks.. no report comes up.
    The operating is a 24" 2.16 Ghz iMac intel 2 core duo, 1GB RAM!
    Any help or advice would be very much appreciated.
    Cheers.

    I had the same problems. New iMac 24" arrived last week (a replacement because the first one had a faulty screen and keyboard). Set it up at the weekend and it seemed fine for 48 hours until I started watching a DVD on Christmas Day. About 2 minutes into the DVD I got a kernel panic, then the computer would not restart. I left it about an hour and tried again. It started successfully, but had another kernel panic when I opened the Dashboard. Again, it failed to restart. I think that something is overheating whenever the computer tries to do any 'work' and then it crashes. I too got panics when trying to boot from the installation disc. Spoke to customer support over the phone and nothing we tried worked, so I've had to send back for another replacement system.

  • WRT160N - problem with on-line games and downloading

    Hi,
    Several months ago I bought a WRT160N router and I have a strange problem.
    When I play online games, such as QL, and someone else will start downloading from the Internet, from time to time about 10 sec I have 999 ping
    I turned on in the background ping to the router, and from time to time about 10 sec there are 2-3 ansewers with 1900-2000 ms.
    I tought that when I buy router with N-mode everything will work better, and there will be no problems with on-line gaming.
    Is there any way to fix this problem??

    I checked now and even no one is downloading there is the same problem.
    I checked on other router and it works fine.
    Next problem is when I browse youtube and play several films simultaneously, suddenly there are no responses from router, when I close them, and wait for a moment the responses are back.
    Whether anyone had similar problem??

  • We have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions

    we have a mac laptop and dont have any problems with pdf files but our imac will not open them.  any suggestions?

    Back up all data.
    In the Finder, select Go ▹ Go to Folder from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-G. Copy the line of text below into the box that opens, and press return:
    /Library/Internet Plug-ins
    From the folder that opens, remove any items that have the letters “PDF” in the name. You may be prompted for your login password. Then quit and relaunch Safari, and test.
    If you still have the issue, repeat with this line:
    ~/Library/Internet Plug-ins
    If you don’t like the results of this procedure, restore the items from the backup you made before you started. Relaunch Safari again.

  • I'm using Win 7 and Firefox Screen fills with horizontal lines,

    Had no problems with previous versions of FF. I updated with FFv4 several weeks ago and have my browser screen continually being filled with horizontal lines. I can remove some of them by using the vertical scroll bar but they return when the display contains a lot of text. Sometimes when display is pictures or videos I am spared. This never occurred before FFv4. If a screen contains a few pictures and is engulfed in lines I can scroll it with my mouse and some pictures reappear but there are still lines over the rest of the display. I use an antivirus (BitDefender) and scan regularly. I also use Windows Defender for protection which was recommended by my AV manufacturer.
    Sometimes of late I have noticed that when the display is no maximized the problem doesn't happen as often. I use a 19" monitor.
    So far tonight while writing this note I haven't experienced a problem but the window is not set to max.

    I had this problem as well. For me, the solution was to disable the two latest add-ons I had installed: Cooliris and HP Detect (I have a Pavilion dm1z). The issue with horizontal lines went away after restarting the browser.

  • Problem with maps in Mavericks on iMac

    I have a problem with my Maps on Mavericks.
    I can open it just fine, no crash or whatever but the map itself just won't load, whatever mode it is on. Here is the screenshot of my Maps:
    As you can see, it just stays blank all the time.
    I'm  also running Parallels 9 and don't know if that has something to do with problem.

    Spent days trying various fixes, but this is the one that did it for me. Thanks!

    Try this
    Since my date and time were incorrect and imessage was not working as well, I tried this
    1. Go to system preferences and click date and time
    2. Select date and time tab
    3. Uncheck "set date and time automatically" and manually enter the correct time
    4. Go to time zone tab and uncheck the box there too
    5. Go back to date and time tab and now check the box "set date and time automatically"
    6. Then check the box in time zone as well
    Now open maps and see if it works!

    Yes another user with problem with Apple Mobile Device Support, I am getting the error message: Service 'Apple Mobile Device'(Apple Mobile Device) failed to start. Vertify that you have sufficient privileges to start system service....I hit retry and it came up again. I hit ignore and it prompted me to hit finish so Itunes can open.   I looked thru alot of these posts on here to try and resolve this problem myself but it's not working too well...I downloaded Itunes to my desktop so I can right click it with the program i downloaded called WinRAR. I extracted it and then went into the folder called Itunes64setup. I saw the file called AppleMobileDeviceSupport64 in there so I began to try and download it on it's own. Well that didn't work as I planned and got this error message:
    Apple Mobile Device Support wasn't installed on your computer. The installer encountered errors before Apple Mobile Device Support could be configured. Your system has not been modified. To retry these operations at a later time,please run the installer again.
    Well I tried to run it again and came up with the same message...I see that some people got great support to help them so I am hoping someone can help me as well. I know "b nor" is very qualfied and hopefully can help me! Please advise what I can do. Thank you

  • I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab.  Everything else seems to work okay in itunes.  I have uninstalled it and reloaded it 4 or 5 times, but still freezes up.

    I have Windows 7 and just recently experienced a problem with itunes freezing up when I clicked on the "apps" tab which shows the apps that are loaded on my phone.  Everything else in the itunes software seems to be working okay.  The problem is in the part where you sync the newly purchased apps.  The apps will all be blank that are downloaded and that part of the software crashes itunes or freezes up.  I can get out of itunes okay after the freeze up, but it just stops me from syncing anything that I have newly added.  If anyone has had this problem before or knows someone that has, please let me know how I can fix it.  I have uninstalled and reloaded itunes 4 or 5 times, but the problem is still there.  I might add that I have been using itunes and purchasing apps for 2 to 3 years without any problems.  HELP.

    You would get better response from the iTunes community forum.
    Have a nice day!

  • Final Cut Pro X is exporting video with horizontal lines?

    I filmed a show with 2 different cameras (one is a canon vixia, the other is a canon dos 7D, i realize the quality is different for them) and I used the multi cam editor to match h up the clips and audio file to switch back and forth. I think i created proxy media to use for the multi cam clip. Whenever i export my movie, the movie plays with horizontal lines, and whenever there is faster motion, the person gets blurred. What is making final cut pro x export like this? How do I fix this? I've tried exporting with Apple ProRes 422, Apple ProRes 422 (Proxy), and H.264, but all video files have the lines going through it and the motion is a bit blurry. Please help me!!

    There are quite a few Vixia models from Canon; which is yours?
    Without looking at the image, it's not certain, but your description sounds like interlaced footage displayed on a computer. The 7D only shoots progressive, so it's possible your other cam was set to record interlaced. If your first clip placed on the timeline was an interlaced clip, FCP would automatically set the project to interlaced.
    In a addition to your model #, what would be useful is to select one of the Vixia clips in the browser and then to take a screen shot of the top  part of the Info pane.
