What else do I do when it freezes up and lines show up all over the screen?

I'll show you what I mean.
(Was watching a music video)
Whenever I watch a video/tv show I can see the video clear at first,but after a couple of seconds my iPod freezes up and lines show up and spread all over the screen. I already reseted it. I did that a couple of times already. What else should I do?
I just bought my 30gb iPod Video on Monday. Should I return it? What happens if I do? Exchange it for a good one? What will it cost me?
I'm sorry if this topic has already been posted before,I'm new to this forum,so I don't really know.
I need help while it's still early.

You can try restoring your IPOD wipes everything out and then you reload everything back on. Read this:

Were your music videos bought through ITunes?

My iPad 2 sometimes has colored lines, as failures all over the screen and sometimes gets to be black whole ... What do I do?

My iPad 2 sometimes has colored lines, as failures all over the screen and sometimes gets to be black whole ... What do I do?

Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

I have a macpro quad, suddenly using flash it freeze and pink dots went all over the screen, I tried re-starting it but the same pink dots come at start up and don't allow the computer to start. What can I do?

I don't know what to do, I have clean the connections, also started it from disk and made a recovery but still creates the same problem.

Either your video card has a problem or your monitor has. This has nothing to do with flash, particularly since your picture is showing the problem at boot time.
Check your connections. Try reseating the video card (remove and plug back in). Make sure dust is blown off of it. And try a smc reset probably as a last resort.

When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

Hi, my Macbook Pro just shut down for no reason. Before, there were black lines all over the screen. Then it shut down and it started to make beeps (3). What can I do?!

I was using my computer just as usual, I was on Microsoft Words and doing lectures on the Internet. Then, out of nowhere, the screen froze and black lines appeared all over the screen and the computer shut down. The screen was all black, but I think it was still open because my laptop was doing sounds, three beeps. When it beeps, the little light that shows you when your laptop is open is bright, so the beeps and the light are synchronized. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, help me!!!

There is a hardware problem. Possibly bad RAM. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I left my macbook pro closed and when I came back the screen had a huge crack all over the screen, anyone know why this could have happened?

Someone dropped something onto your computer.
Someone pressed on the closed computer.
Someone placed heavy objects on your computer.
We can only guess since the someone was not us and we were not there when it happened.

I have a iPhone 5s fell into the water and damaged fingerprint sensor motion and lines of light appeared on the screen, but it still works and did not hurt anything else Can I replace it with a new phone

No. The warranty does not cover damage.
You can only get a replacement if you can talk Apple into selling you and out of warranty replacement.

When typing, my letters go all over the screen, just happens with Firefox.

After installing Firefox, when I type, the letters go all over the screen, instead of where I try to type them. I used to type without looking at the screen. Now I have to watch... my cursor disappears, and the letters I'm typing go into something I've previously typed correctly.
== When I installed Firefox, and it happens constantly.

Do you have that problem when running in the Firefox SafeMode?

My iPad 2 acts like I am touching all over the screen when I am not.

On the plane ride the other day I was using iBooks, and my iPad started scrolling through the pages like crazy (even when I was not touching the screen).
Now, it will just start performing actions (clicking, swiping, multi touch, zoom, etc) even when I am not touching the screen at all. For instance, when I am in mail, it will all of a sudden bring up the reply menu, change emails, close the app, scroll, etc and it is just going crazy.
I don't know what to do to fix it, but I am 3+ hours from the nearest apple store.
Any suggestions? Is anyone else having this problem?

I'm having the exact same issue now. What did you end up doing?
I restored the thing but didn't work. It keeps doing it. It does it for so long time I even took a video of it to show at the store: http://youtu.be/BqGCyEQU-mY
Good luck!

When i resize my browser my content goes all over the place?

I have made a new page on muse. It is complete and i like the way it looks but when i resize the browser my images and content move around and it doesnt align like i want it to. It needs to lign up with the background image. How do i get the content and images to stay where they are and not move when i resize my browser? My other pages do this just fine. If anyone can help me out that would be great!

In general the site appears to being working normally in a desktop browser. However the content on the page is too wide for many site visitors. (At ~1600 px it's too wide for my 15" 1440 pixel Mac display.)
The "lines2.png" is 1900 px wide and thus makes the content area of your site 1900 px wide. When a site is loaded in a mobile browser, the browser will zoom out so the content area fits in the width of the device.
Given your current design I think you want to set the page with in Site Properties to roughly 1200 pixels (it looks like it's currently 960, but your main header sticks out on both the left and right so you probably want to make your page large enough so the full header fits).
For the lines, perhaps I'm missing something about the precise appearance of the lines, but it seems this could just be a Muse rectangle with only the top and bottom stroke weights set (left and right strokes set to zero in the Stroke panel, click on the word Stroke in the Control Strip). If a Muse rectangle is dragged so its left and right edges are both at the left and right edge of the browser area, then the rectangle will automatically change width in the browser to always be the full with of the browser window (and there won't be another http request to download a .png for the lines, as there is now).

My MacBook Pro was hacked. A chess board appeared and when I clicked it code scrolled all over the screen and then my desktop disappeared. It all came back but now it shows a guest user and my screen looks completely different.

Files on my computer were added. In the files were pics of my hard drive and flags. Text editor had a lot of code. Is there anyway to convert the code? Trying to see if my crazy ex did this. And did someone have to have access to my computer to do this?

Disconnect from the network.
Back up all data to at least two different storage devices, if you haven't already done so. The backups can be made with Time Machine or with a mirroring tool such as Carbon Copy Cloner. Preferably both.
Reconnect to the network.
Boot into Recovery (command-R at startup), launch Disk Utility, and erase the startup volume with the default options.This operation will destroy all data on the volume, so you had be better be sure of your backups. Quit Disk Utility and install OS X. When you reboot, you'll be prompted to go through the initial setup process. That’s when you transfer the data from one of your backups. For details of how this works, see here:
Using Setup Assistant
Transfer only "Users" and "Settings" – not "Applications" or "Other files." Don't transfer the Guest account, if it was enabled on the old system.
Reinstall your third-party software from fresh downloads or original media.
Change all Internet passwords.
Note: You need an always-on Ethernet or Wi-Fi connection to the Internet to use Recovery. It won’t work with USB or PPPoE modems, or with proxy servers, or with networks that require a certificate for authentication.

NOT A RETINA DISPLAY MAC... LATE 2009 VERSION
And while im here, does anyone know why my sd card slot wont recognize and why my headphone jack REPEATIDLY turns on the red light after i unplug headphones. I know how to corect it but EVERY TIME. its a major inconvienience to have to switch the switch, q-tip clean it and blow it every time.

This is a long shot but I would suspect there is something wrong with your graphics card / GPU. There was a problem with some Macbook Pro's which used the Nvida GeForce 8600 GT but these were ones built around 2007 / 2008.
It might be worth checking what card you have and to check the serial number just in case as it might be covered - my graphics went in my 2007 MBP when I was outside warranty and Apple fixed it for free.

When I start my Ipod the screem zoom in and I can not move over the screen, When I start my Ipod the screem zoom in and I can not move over the screen

Any time that I try to use an application, the screen become normal just for a couple of seconds, and it zoom again. I can not reduce it with my fingers.
Also is dificult to move up or down the applications icon.

The zoom feature is covered in the manual.

Double tap with three fingers.

My mouse/trackpad are completely out of control. The cursor/arrow is flying all over the screen and closing/opening windows. What is the solution to this? Downloading windows for Mac?

So far I'm dissapointed with Mac O/S .....so many areas lack common sense, require unnessary extra clicks and is not as customizable as Windows. It's like Apple thinks you are a child and not entitled to choose for yourself so that they can control your info for you.
The mouse/trackpad problem is a major issue that Apple should be proactive in offering a solution for. If anyone has a solution to this I'd be greateful to hear it.
Thanks,

Is this the first time you're using a Mac?
If so the learning curve is somewhat steep - but, if you put in the time and use this knowledge base whenever you run into issues you'll be up to speed soon enough.
With regards to the trackpad/mouse, you can adjust the sensitivity by:
1. Click the Apple Logo on the top left hard corner of your screen
2. Click System Preferences
3. Click Trackpad
Adjust the tracking speed to your specifications.
Also familiarise yourself with the gestures (activate the ones you can remember)
To go back to the menue by clicking Show All
4. Click Mouse
Adjust your mouse settings to your specification.
And why use mac?
It just works...
(most of the time ;p)

What else do I do when it freezes up and lines show up all over the screen?
