4S 8.3 upgrade..vertical lines

iPhone 4S. I accepted the download and then nothing. black screen. phone wouldn't turn & iTunes couldn't identify it when plugged into laptop. I followed ALL of the suggestions I could find SEVERAL times with no result. wouldn't restart and couldn't use restore in iTunes. I made an appointment for genius service for tomorrow. however today I tried the forced restart again (hold home button & off buttons same time for over 10s) & the tried holding the off button for over 30 seconds. im not sure which worked but the phone came back on although the screen is somewhat dim & has faint vertical lines.(no it wasn't dropped) I was able to use iTunes to complete upgrade of 8.3 (didn't have a choice to back to 8.2) and it was successful. I could not run Restore though. I ran a diagnostics test on the phone thru the apple support site (search os diagnostics) & it came back that the phone needed service because there was an issue with the Upgrade & Restore options.
Any suggestions on how to get screen image back to normal?

No. The iPhone 4S supports 8.3; the iPhone 4 can't be updated past 7.1.2.

Fix for vertical lines and screen freeze on 2008 iMac after Yosemite upgrade?

Mavericks was running slow with iPhoto. Did the Yosemite upgrade. Vertical lines on screen before everything freezes except mouse. Mouse continues to respond but nothing else, so forced to power off. Tried a revert to Mavericks but that seemed to tick it off (made things worse). Read 3 year old threads that graphics drivers may be at fault, but not sure how to remedy that. Any ideas?

Hi wokingmac,
If you are having an issue with your iMac display not responding appropriately, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays - Apple Support
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

IMac 10.4.11 Because permanent vertical lines have appeared on my screen, I need to get a new monitor. The adapter apple sells goes from female VGA to mini-DVI. What kind of cable should I get as well:female to male?

If I use an adapter (female VGA to mini-DVI) for my iMac 10.4.11 OSX, I also need a cable. Should that cable be female VGA to male VGA?
Permanent vertical lines have appeared on my display, and connecting to another display (monitor) requires a cable and adapter. I want to be sure I am purchasing the correct cable for the Apple adapter.

What made me think I need to format if I upgrade the OS?
I just presumed so really.
What made me think I need to constantly format computer with my problem?
Well, after many attempts to repair the drive, which fails, cannot even reach the log in screen, I am left with no other choice?
And also, I have to note now, System Preferences keeps crashing without reason, it either takes ages to load, just by clicking it to open, or clicking something within it, or it just crashes.
And temporarily, it freezes the computer totally, with no response.
Seriously, am I missing a system file or something? Anyone experienced this problem before?
My computer is literally a blank computer right now, installed VLC and Shades, updated Adobe Flash Player, installed Skype and Adium. I would say Growl from Adium caused it, but it has happened prior to Skype and Adium. Any ideas anyone?
Thanks,

Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2008 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean?

Why has my monitor suddenly begun to have a moiré pattern all over – it is even showing up on my icons on the dock? It appears to be very thin bright green vertical lines. I have a 2007 iMac which is running 10.6.8. What does this mean? I've attached some screen shots below.
Also experiencing some funky issues with my wireless keyboard. With new batteries, it will just stop functioning. Certain keys intermittently won't work. Also the fans go on as soon as I turn the computer on - some times they stay on and sometimes they don't. Ever since upgrading the operating system - I've been having many issues with this iMac. Not happy. Any answers out there?

Thanks for your reply LexSchellings, There is no disc in the drive and I went through the suggestions you put forward on the phone with Apple support without any luck. I can put a disc in but it pops straight back out again without registering on finder.
The idea of using an external drive was to enable me to avoid the cost and loss of productivity whilst machine in repair... if I have to take it in to get the old drive removed than I might as well have a new internal drive put in, although I do worry about the reliability of these apple drives given my experience with this one coupled with my limited online research ... on line forums seem to be full of people with the same problem (although perhaps searching such forums is bound to make it seem a common problem as users with perfectly working machines are less likely to post (?)) Your reply suggests that no external drive will work whilst the existing drive is in place.
As a postscript: I do realise that this is a user forum ...my secondary question was asking if anyone knows how to put forward a case/complaint to Apple... I can't find a link on the support page that would enable me to do so and I was wondering if anyone on this user forum had any ideas/experience..

My Imac has black and white vertical lines

Riddle me this Apple...
A few months ago, my 2008 Aluminium 24inch Imac locked up and exhibited space invader style pixels all over the screen.
After rebooting, it was fine for a while and then it would freeze again and I'd get the same Atari style pixels appearing, and everything would be frozen.
Then, most reboots after that, I would get vertical lines in groups of three, alternating black and white squares as in the photo.
I called Apple here in South Australia, and they said "it's your graphics card, and it will cost $400 to fix and we need it for a week".
Not wanting to do that, I bought a $15 firewire cable, booted the Imac in T mode and used my PC laptop running macdrivepro to save all my files onto a 500gig backup drive, and then proceeded to fix the corrupted kext files and most importantly delete the recent flash player update which I believe was causing the problem.
Booted her back up, and she ran perfectly. For a few weeks, until it started again.
So I re-installed the Leopard operating system from the original disks, and that fixed it. $15 is better than $400.
Now, a few months have passed, and the problem had come back again, now that I have added more stuff on my computer.
This time however, I chose to wipe the drive completely and do a fresh install of Leopard, and then upgrade to Snow Leopard.
The problem is that it won't boot from the CD drive anymore, won't boot from a thumb drive, won't boot in any mode except T mode, but then it has these lines on the screen again and eventually I get the kernel panic happenning and it wants to be shut down.
Every time I start the computer, these lines IMMEDIATELY appear. I've tried resetting the Pram, tried changing memory and have now resorted to surgery.
I've taken apart the Imac, yes I hear you Apple...you guys thought that we mortals wouldn't delve into the depths of your finely machined systems, however, some of us do own micro torx head tools to remove those pesky screws, and yes, a razor blade does lift up the magnetically attached screen glass without having to use suction pads.
So once inside the temple of doom, I removed the hard drive, and dropped it into a hard drive dock.
After days of messing around with it via four other MAC computers, running Tiger, Leopard and Lion, we have still not been able to install an operating system back onto this drive.
Does anyone have any insight into what these lines actually are? Every one I speak to says a different thing...
"It's the graphics card", "It's the hard drive", "It's the cable that connects the LCD screen", "It's the motherboard", It's the screen itself", "It's a corrupted bios" etc etc..
But if it's any of those things...then why did it run perfectly after I fixed it the first time?
Any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Hi BDAqua,
I appreciate you taking the time to reply, and for the suggestions.
My spider sense was tingling, as were my eager fingers to login and read your reply, in fact I was almost salivating at the thought of crushing those Apple reps with a swift blow from one of my megalithic old 4gig internal drives, or better still, perhaps shooting my old DX266 sporting a massive 256k HD and 4mb of ram, fully loaded with Encarta and Windows 3.11 out of a cannon and straight into Steve Jobs bedroom window, with a note saying..."How'd ya like them apples..".
But alas, my Aquatic friend, I am in need of a functioning operating system to be able to do any of those magical tricks you suggested (insert frown face here)..and yes, when I finally opened up the Imac and peered inside, a moment not unlike Indiana Jones peering down into the depths of the Well of Souls, I suddenly realised that an Imac might look impervious to heat vision and thermonuclear devices on the outside, but inside they can still gather as much dust as my infinately useless ZIP drive that I bought back in the late 90's, thinking it was the best thing since the invention of microsoft paint...awesome program by the way guys..
Getting back to the problem at hand, the issue really is that I have, perhaps stupedly, reformatted the 500gig WD drive via a hard drive dock, which is really a lot like one of those early 1950's cassette drives you find in vintage cars..
And upon returning the drive to the Imac and re-assembling it WITH REAL SCREWS, not titanium-alloy fingerprint encoded ones like you would expect to find in Iron Man's suit, I could only boot the poor thing into T mode. No other modes were available, and believe me, I tried all of the alphabet...even the "C" button, which if you ever watched an episode of Knight Rider called Knight of the Juggernaught, did not turn my computer into a convertable..
By now you're probably sensing that the irony of all of this is that I am typing this message on my Windows 7 upgraded HP laptop, which sounds not unlike a jumbo jet taking off at times, the fans are so loud, and among other things, it keeps telling me it is not genuine, even though I paid good money for a proper copy to free me from the painful experience which was Vista, and so in a sense, microsoft is playing a small part in the desperate rescue of it's far superior, yet broken down and busted arch enemy...I bet somewhere in it's RAM, it is smiling in little ones and zeroes, while it hides behind a free copy of AVAST, hoping one of a billion nasty viruses don't come knocking on the kernel door..
The next round of drinks goes to the man, woman, child or droid that has any other suggestions that could allow me to participate in some of the ideas put forward by our very knowledgable watery friend..as alas, I do not have any of those options available to me.
Today's assignment is.. how do we install an operating system on a formatted external drive. Sounds easy doesn't it...I've read many articles, but in practice it's proved as elusive as Bigfoot.
I just cannot make this hard drive understand that there is no spoon...

One pixel vertical line on new iMac 24" display - defective?

I have a one pixel vertical line that is fairly constant on my new (one week old) 24" iMac -- it sits there between the Edit and View mens mocking me, and runs the length (well, height) of the screen.
I've tried changing resolutions and resetting the SMC and neither seemed to do anything. My guess is it's defective, so I'm probably looking at a trip to our nearby Apple Store... the only thing is, I don't want to be without my computer for an extended period of time, since I use it for work and everything.
Is this the sort of thing that the Apple Store could order the new part and do the swap in house? If they replace the whole unit, could I put the existing HD in it? (of course the defect shows up right after I migrate and do all my upgrades, installs and patches)

I recently just had the LCD on my 24" imac replaced due to a stuck pixel. Without even bringing my imac into the apple store i told one of the genius bar associates about my problem and they ordered the LCD without even seeing my computer. They then called me when it came in and i took it down there for it to be replaced. I took it on a monday morning and i went and picked it up on tuesday. It is an in house repair so as long as they are not super busy you should not have to be without it for to long. I would try what i did, go in their without your imac first and tell them your issue and see if they will order the part. That way your not leaving your imac there while they order the part in.

I get vertical lines below the text when I type

After upgrading to Firefox 4 in Windows 7 I get vertical line that appear below what I type. This is not happening with other browsers. Anybody else experiencing this or have a solution?

This problem should not be because of hardware acceleration and I think I found the answer. I was getting odd graphical iisues in Firefox 4. Not just with the strange vertical lines. By disabling hardware accelration it did indeed fix the issue with the lines underneath where I typed in boxes. But the other problems were still an issue. I tried to fix the other issue by disabling all my addons and it did not make any difference. BUT when I restarted Firefox 4 in safe mode it did. Which led me to believe something else was at play here.
I remembered the UserChrome.css I had in my Firefox profile folder. I renamed that file and restarted Firefox. All my graphical bugs vanished. Out of curiousity I also enabled hardware acceleration. Voila! No more vertical lines either!
Now I did a reinstall of Firefox 4 just to check if it created a UserChrome.cc file but it did not. So I can only assume that there is something in that old file that others have when upgrading from Firefox 3 that causes this issue and other graphic probs.
I advise anyone who noticed this issue to try renaming UserChrome.css if it exists and see if it resolves the issue or not.

Changes in Vertical Lines Across Hidden Sections

I have quite a few reports designed in CR 8.5 primarily by someone else but modified by me over the years. The original programmer created two page footers. PFa is to print when there are multiple pages except on the last page (set to underlay sections), and PFb to print only on the last page or first page if there is only one page. The report in this example is an invoice that could be multiple pages or one page. PFa will show Continued.... as part of the footer on all but the last page. The last page will show the total.
The original design has vertical lines extending from the page header to a horizontal line in PFb. For a one-page report, this works just fine.
When printing multiple page reports, there is a little section that does not have a line in PFa. So it has been filled in with a second line over the previous line and it extends from the top of PFa to the horizontal line in that section. This also works fine in CR8.5. This worked fine in CR XIR2 as well.
I am creating a new viewer that I would like to support current versions of Crystal. So recently I installed the CR for VS ver 9. Now my CRXIR2 and CR2011 standalone programs show lines extending to the bottom of the page over PFa on a multipage invoice. PFb shows properly on the last page.
I am pretty sure when I was using CR for VS version 4 it did not do this (last week), but I cannot remember if I had tested a multipage invoice at that time. Now that I have upgraded it appears the handling of the lines is different. I am testing the reports and they are all showing up differently now. The image attached shows the idea. The vertical lines should stop at the top horizontal line except for the one on the right which should stop at the bottom horizontal line.
I know there are other and probably better ways to program this but I inherited this stuff and am trying to find a way to not edit all the possible reports that have this problem (could be hundreds). Does anyone know if this is an intended design change or if there is a workaround I can use? My viewer is being programming in VB 2010 but the image attached is just from CR 2011 (CRXIR2 does the same thing now). The second image attached is the original from CR8.5 which still works because I assume, it is using a different print engine before the change in CR version 9.
Any help is appreciated. TIA, rasinc

Hi Jamie,
Sorry for the delayed response but I have been out of the office since Wed.
Are you saying that I just need to change the programming of the lines in the CR designer? If so, I had already done that in the same manner as you had suggested before. eg. don't let the lines cross a section. Terminate the line at the first section (pfa), then fill it in after, in the lower section (pfb).
If that is what you meant, I have done that with one to prove it is a solution. This will work for me directly, however, the viewer will be distributed to people who may or may not be buying the CR program. For those who buy it, they can modify their forms as they please if it is a problem for them.
However, there will be many people continuing to use the CR 8.5 forms in this newer viewer. These people may have to have this problem fixed and may not know it can be redesigned. So I am trying to be proactive to figure out if I can solve it with my programming but it looks like it is a difference as part of the CR viewer dlls between CR8.5 and CR2011.
If you think it is still something that can be adjusted in my programming somehow, I can give you a screenshot but I am thinking your thought was to change the line programming with the designer. If so, I know how to do this, but I have never seen and do not have access to many rpts that will be affected.
Thanks again for the help, I appreciate it. rasinc

A single vertical line, please help! :)

Hi,
I have a PowerBook G3 Pismo and a pink vertical line just randomly appeared on the screen and I can't get rid of it? Somebody please help and tell me what to do here. It just happened and nothing changed hardware/software wise on the machine.
Thanks!

Thank you for your help. This would be one of my older Macs...I have a new iMac as my workstation/server, 3 iMac G3's iMac G4, iMac G5, eMac, Mac Mini, PowerBook G4, 2 iBook G4s, iBook G3, MacBook, MacBook Pro...I think that I could live with the line on the screen, but it would be nice if I could replace the whole display/ribbon cable assembly to make it even better. I upgraded the entire machine inside and out except for the display and when I finished..I turned it on and it was fine..about 3 weeks later a pink line appeared...seems that it could be a simple pinched/broken cable? Who knows, but I wish I could connect it to an external monitor..missing that VGA adapter..thanks though..I wonder why it randomly appeared when the display hinge was rarely opened/closed..any ideas why it is only a single line and not multiple? I showed it to my friend who is into tech and he believes that that particular column of pixels are simply dead..appreciate it..

Can i get my imac g5 that has vertical lines on it fixed for free as it is a fault???

can i get my imac g5 that has coloured vertical lines on it fixed for free as it is a manufacturing fault???
just asking cause it is really annoying
and also if it gets done for free do i need to under warrenty and apple care or can it get done without the warrenty as i looked it up and it said on mac rumors that it didn't have to be under warrenty.
thanks heaps.

Well I said thank you Apple too soon I guess! It's been a week since I filled out the form for the free update/upgrade program, still haven't heard anything from them! They only responded that they received my request and gave me a reference number but the email address was a "no-reply" address so where am I supposed go on and check or ask or inquire with this number?
When I go to the original webpage given to apply for the program there is no section to check the status of my application! So again I wander where can I write to, to ask about the status of my application for the free update of my OS X Lion software?
Do I write to App Store or iTunes or Apple US or the Turkish reps? The store I bought it from doesnt know about this they say it's all done thru Apple?
I'm confused! Who should know and where did my application go to? Who receives these forms and who do I check in with? Does anybody know?
Thank you.

Qosmio G30: blue vertical lines and blue screen crash dump

I have a Qosmio G30, Model No. PQG32C-AV605E with BIOS Version 3.40.
I want to update to 3.90 but I cannot enter Windows.
How do I update BIOS with no Windows available?
Is there a DOS utility?
If so, please send it and I will download it or send me an email on where to download.
The G30 I have has blue vertical lines across the screen when the machine starts up in VGA mode upon entering Windows for the first time.
But the machine can't enter windows, it crashes and dumps and restarts before that.
I replaced the RAM with new RAM but it had no effect.
I ran the diagnostics utility and the hard drives are OPTIMAL in RAID 1 so no errors there.
The reinstall of Windows went smoothly: I just can't get into VGA mode without lines.
I was told by Toshiba tech support that a BIOS upgrade would fix it.
Thanks for any helps.

I made best experience with Toshiba support. The ASP guys were always helpful
I can understand that you are upset but this is cannot be a explanation for you last replay
Fact is that you can update the BIOS ONLY running windows OS because you can download ONLY win-based BIOS!
If you are not able to do this (no matter why) then you will need to get in contact with local ASP (service provider) in your country who could update the BIOS using a traditional BIOS version.
But in my personal opinion the vertical lines are not related to any BIOS issue and I think a BIOS update would not help you in my opinion its more hardware issue as an software issue.
Therefore you should get in contact with an local ASP in order to discover what's part is affected.
Good luck

Iphone 5 gray vertical lines

Any ideas:
I have my mother's iPhone 5. Screen broke so we had it repaired at the Apple Store. So now the same device has a "newer" display assembly. However, all of a sudden, the screen went blank. Apple Store acknowledged the issue and replaced the device. However, two months ago, on the phone there are gray vertical lines and the touch is not responsive. The phone works otherwise except for the LCD and touch screen. The phone is out of warranty so I bought a display assembly, replaced it myself. Since it was an "LCD" issue, replacing it would solve the problem. However, even with the replaced display, the same problem persists. I still have gray vertical lines and touch screen is unresponsive.
All connectors are seated properly. Powercycled the battery. Any ideas?

don't be afraid to upgrade, it's surely an hardware problem. If that thing happens again, go to apple store, they will repair it or gave you an other one, the warranty is one year .

Screen displays vertical lines on boot up

I tried to boot up my macbook, and it skipped the chime, and just displayed multi coloured vertical lines. The problem was solved via resetting the PRAM. Also, the screen is darker if there's a shadow on it. I have a diagonal shadow on the screen when it happened, and the lower half was darker than the top.
Why?

Hello everyone, I have had the same problem happen to me a couple of times now!!, the first time it happend, I had only had my Macbook a couple of days, I went to reboot one evening and all I got was coloured vertical lines, nothing else.
I thought it might have been the i gig ram i had fitted the same day, but after changing the ram back to the original ram, the lines were still there. I reset the p-ram and it booted fine. then it happend again, but when I held down the option-command-p-r, still nothing, just coloured lines.
I was starting to worry now, however after rebooting several times by holding the power button down for 3 seconds, it finaly let the p-ram reset to work, then today......yes again, I tried everything I had done before, nothing!!!! So I removed the hard drive and turned it on with no hard drive in place, hooray........ at least the coloured lines had gone and a question mark was flashing on the screen, so I replaced the hard drive and all was back to normal.
So I searched Google for forums on this problem, and I had found heaps of MacBooks had developed the lines problem after installing the 10.4.7 upgrade........one guy suggested reinstalling 10.4.6, so I did and the lines have not come back yet. Well after all of this, I am not shure if maybe the hard drive may have moved out of its socket so when I pushed it back in it fixed the problem, or whether it was reverting back to 10.4.6, or it may still be a hardware problem.
If there is anyone out there with an answer to the coloured vertical lines mistery, I would appreciate any infomation.
NB: It seems when the dreaded lines appear the whole system goes dead.

Upgrade one line at a time?

We have a family plan in which both lines are available to upgrade. Good thing, too... as the phones are almost dead. However, the gf wants the iPhone 4s, I would like the Droid Prime (when/if it comes out). Her phone is worse off than mine, so I'd like to pre-order the iPhone 4s, while waiting to upgrade my line (the primary line). If I do upgrade only her line, since it's a new 2-yr agreement, would I lose out on my ability to upgrade, and/or the $30 credit towards the upgrade on my line?
Thanks!

if your ordering on her line, it will not affect your line
each line has its own contract

[LaserJet Pro 200 color MFP M276nw] only vertical lines when scanning, scanner broken?

Hi all! I have a problem with the scanner in my HP all in one. If I scan (using the printer function or apples ImageCapture: same result) the output is just a lot of vertical stripes (in colors when in color mode). Not a trace of the image I try to scan. The lines are there even if i scan an empty white page. I see the stripes both when doing a preview scan and an actual scan. The problems are very similar regardless of if I use the flatbed or the feeder scanner (they are separate scanner hardware, yes?). I have updated to the latest software for the printer/scanner and I am connecting over bonjour via wireless. I am on Os X 10.9.1. Anybody having similar problems or is my scanner just plain broken? Thanks in advance!Jon

, , I understand that both of you are seeing vertical lines when scanning from your Laserjet M276nw. First, make sure the printer is plugged directly into a wall outlet and not a surge protector. Now, so I know where to begin I'd need to know the following:If you are seeing the vertical lines when you copy as well as scan?Are you seeing the vertical lines when you copy from the flatbed? The document feeder? both?If you are seeing the lines from both the flatbed and the feeder are they in the same place?Once I know this I'll be better able to assist you.
