Startup screen has green lines and black box asking to restart

When I try and start my computer, I get a series of vertical lines that go from pinkish red to green. Then a black
Box appears telling me I need to restart in different languages. My computer is fairly old, does anyone know if this problem is fixable? Is it a part that can be replaced?

The Mid 2010 15-inch MacBook Pro problems are related to kernel panics, so the GPU is still working. In the case of the OP, the GPU has stopped working completely, so his/her problem doesn't belong to the kernel panic problem, so the OP may have to pay. I may be wrong.
Also, the 10.8.4 update won't help as this is a hardware problem, but it's always good to keep OS X updated

Green Line and black Space on Mac Mini TV

I am getting a green line and a black open space on the side of my Mac Mini TV when I set it up. I have tried every different resouloution and it is still there. The problem is that when I click Detect Displays, nothing happens to the screen.
Please help, I just got this today and I want it to function properly ASAP for a Project I am doing.

What kind of connector is it using?
DHCP seems to be a problem, do you have a DVI or VGA adapter & does the TV have that?

HDV sequence has green lines and pink dots after export

I digitized some HDV footage from a Sony HVR-VIU into Final cut Pro 7. Everything worked normally through the edit. After exporting the sequence as a quicktime movie, it played back fine as a quicktime. When I attempted to convert it to a media file in Sorenson Squeeze, the file showed up with green lines and pink dots over the picture. To test it differently, I dropped the file into IDVD. Same, result in playback. I've never seen anything like this before, any ideas?

Brad your article was extremely helpful in getting my sequence to work for a DVD. However, I've had success before using the same camera, format, etc., in making DVD's from an HDV sequence, and I'm curious as to what I did wrong this time. The most confusing part to me is that the original quicktime self-contained export played fine through quicktime, but got funky when placed into IDVD and Sorenson's Squeeze compressor. I must have done something wrong up front in digitizing or making settings in FCP, and I'd like to know what it was so I don't do it in the future. Thanks.

Dynex 32" Flat screen with green lines and audio problem

I bought thisDynex 32" flat screen in September and it has started to develop problems. It will be on and green lines start forming and go away. Then the sound goes in and out. The green lines come back and the sound works sparsely. I am wondering what is the issue. I have tried unconnected everything; leaving the power off for hours. Somedays it works great or sometimes out of the blue it just craps out but lately I am getting more bad days than good ones. Any help or suggestions would be great. All I got from Dynex was that I had to bring the TV back to BestBuy and have a master technician look at it....

Sounds like it needs servicing. If you bought it in September it should still be under the 1 yr manufacturer warranty. You can bring it into the store with your receipt and have customer service send it to service for you. It will be returned to the store and can be picked up when service is complete. I will say, however, warranty service can be lengthy. Expect to not have your TV for a few weeks.
If you like posts that I make, be sure to click on the star underneath my name. Thanks!

Imported audio has green line and goes out of sync.

What the heck is FCP doing to my audio!!!
I render out a movie and treat it in After Effect (no speed changes) and bring the movie back into FCP in a new seq, I then take the audio exported from the same original seq the video was exported from in FCP and it is out of sync! It drifts, and has the green line on if meaning to me that FCP is changing it in some way, this is PAL 48k and was always PAL 48k.
The only way I can get the audio to sync is to render out a whole movie again and just use the sound from it, then it is in sync with my original.
Any one know what is up?
Also, when I import from an aif captured in Pro Tools the waveform is not in sync with the sound I am hearing! This also has a green line on it when placed in the timeline as if the sample rate is not correct but it is 48K in a 48k seq.

Hi JohnDoe2009 - firstly, extracting the audio is not necessary in your case. Simply mute the video's audio, by reducing its level to zero - that is what actually happens when you extract the audio, after all.
It is my experience also, that locking audio clips to particular video clips is not fail-safe if further cropping is done afterwards, especially if that cropping is fairly substantial. Where possible, do the syncing after all crop-editing has been completed.
As a last check I always review the syncing before finalising the movie.

My screen has green noise and pink stripes

How do it fix my screen the colors are green noise and pink stripes

You can try giving it a reset. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
But it's also possible that what's wrong is beyond a user fix and you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them check it out.

Screen has masive line of black

Um... my computer just recently developed a massive vertical line which is aprox. 2 and 1/2 inch's wide
it developed oddly as i was opening a application, and was originally a fuzzy Grey set of vertical lines. (it is now a black line)
if i look really close at it now i can still see a slight bit of Grey and lines that constantly move.
i don't know much about this type of screen.
and i was wondering if anyone else has developed it or if they have any knowlage of this odd occurrence.
please help shed some light on this issue, because its going to be expensive adventure of mine :'(

This is probably a monitor fault, and requires a replacement.
My iMac developed a black 6cm strip on the right of screen, which occaisionally became white.
I could still drag & drop from any icon underneath.
Mine was diagnosed & replaced at Apple workshop.

My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!

Hello everyone,
I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!
My iPod Touch is an iPod Touch 4th generation model with 8GB. It is running iOS 5.1.1.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

Sounds like you may be experiencing a kernel panic. (See What is a kernel panic http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1392?viewlocale=en_US) Dr. Smoke's FAQ Resolving Kernel Panics (http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html) offers suggestions for working with it.

Hi John,
I would take your machine into a Apple service center. Its highly likely a hardware issue. The most likely issue being the display has failed. If there is no external damage to the machines display they will replace the whole display under warranty for you.
