A funny line on the bottom of my screen.

I have an original MacBook Pro and I noticed a little white a go a small line in my display that was about 3/4 and inch from the bottom right that goes up towards the top...it looks like it is a tear but from the back of the screen, almost like there is light coming from behind it. In the last couple of days it has gotten longer. Anyone else have this problem or know what it is? Can I get that fixed even though it isn't the actual screen that is tearing but what I think is is the lights?

Hello Armando
Check out the article below for troubleshooting your issue with the display. There are a few things that can be done, like changing the resolution of the display and also to reset the NVRAM to see if that resolves that for you.

I have a horizontal line across the bottom of my screen how do I remove it?

Re: Macbook Air mid 2011, I have a horizontal line across the bottom of my screen, it appeared when I was updating my iPhone, How can I remove this line from my display?

It may be a GPU or display issue. In both cases, make a backup of your Mac and take it to an Apple Store or reseller to get it repaired.
To check whether it is a GPU or display issue, try taking a screenshot by pressing Command, Shift and 3 keys. The screenshot will appear in the Desktop, so open it and check if the line appears in the screenshot too. If so, it is a GPU issue; if not, it is a display issue.

I am getting a weird green line at the bottom of my screen...

I am trying to burn a DVD in iDVD.
I keep getting a green line at the bottom of the screen. I tried "squaring" the pixels before outputting the project, but I didn't render the project this way in FCP before trying that.
Could that be the problem?
I also tried buring at 1x.
Any help would help!
Thank you,
Evan Jacobs

Well to answer the questions. This artifact is in fact a physical one because you can see it when you boot the Mac and sign in with a different profile. I decided to test my luck at the local Apple Store just to see what they said. They looked at the display for about 3 minutes and then said that it would be nearly 700 bucks for parts and labor to basically put a new display on my laptop. He said that since its a TFT screen chances are on of the layers within the screen are messed up hence I see this black line. I decided Im going to look elsewhere and see if I can't find a solution here. If worse comes to worse, then I'll live with it till the Pro Book is out and get that with Apple care.

Wavy lines from the bottom up on Screen

This problem started about a year ago. I have light(lines) that look like flashlights coming up from the bottom of my screen. I searched the discussions when it started and found a solution. Someone recommended hitting 3 certain keys at the same time. It worked!
I have the problem again, but can't remember which 3 keys. I know I used the one in the far right corner on the top line. (key has a an up arrow and a dash) I know I hit to other keys in the bottom left row.
Does anyone know the keys to hit? Thank you.

Trial and error, I figured out how to make them go away. You hold down at the same time
these 3 buttons "shift, control, & the key in the far right top row(little arrow pointing up & a line).
You push all 3 at the same time until the screen goes black. Then push any key to bring the
screen back--with no wavy lines!!!!

Well, in two weeks I have gone through 2 mini's. The first had a 1 inch wide shaded zone top to bottom. Apple replaced it . Now, the replacement has started with white flickering lines at the bottom. anyone else exper. probs?

The Ipad mini replacement (the first had a 1 inch shaded band running down it - and Apple replaced it. Now my new one has a flickering set of lines at the bottom of the screen. I reset adn reloaded, powered it down and up and still there. Seems likely to be a hardware issue - just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. Nothing unusual - havre Mac Airbook, two other older ipads and iphone and all are fine - no issues charging or such.

You must be at the end of the bell shaped curve for device problems. There's always someone who experiences this, and unfortuantely you are the rare user to be annointed by the gods of bad luck.
I read many Apple forums, and your story is indeed rare. Just like the person who wins the lotto, there are those who play all their lives and never win anything, not even $1.00. I'm sure you get the picture. I had a similar experience many decades ago, only with a car (or cars). Not fun and not funny.

How do I remove a small line at the bottom of the page?

Hello!
I'm formatting some work for a client and I can't seem to find out how to remove this line at the bottom of the screen. It's on every page. It's not a line that was drawn in because I can't click to remove it. Has anyone seen this before?
Thanks,
KHILL

Post a screen shot so we know what you are talking about.
Does it print, or is it just on the screen?

Help with a weird little blue line in the bottom right corner of my lightbox gallery?

I get a weird little blue line in the bottom right corner of my lightbox gallery when viewing in Safari and Chrome. Its not there when looking in Dreamweaver or Firefox. I'm going crazy! Can anyone help?

I have added to following code to sample_lightbox_layout.css
.lbGallery a {
text-decoration: none;
That fixes the dash, which is an underline. The default style for a link is an underline and since it was not defined the tag gets the default style for the underline.
Good luck.

I format a cell with a double line at the bottom and it appears until I move to another cell and the formatting is lost.

In Numbers, I format a cell with a double line at the bottom and it appears until I clik on another cell and then it disappears.

When you describe the "double" line are you talking about something like this?
If so this is only selecting an edge of a cell. You still have to select:
1) Line style using the menu to the right of the one I have circled (currently "Thin")
2) Line width using the menu to the right of the previous one and, finally,
3) the line color using the menu to the right of the previous one
Even so I have not found a way to copy cell border formatting so I ALWAYS wait until the very end to add border formatting.

Printing in Acrobat X gives an extra unwanted line in the bottom margin

Printing in Acrobat Reader X gives an extra unwanted line in the bottom margin. This margin should normally be blank. The line pattern follows the pattern of the print inside the margins. How can I print without this extra line?. The problem does not occur with the same documents opened in Acrobat Reader 9.4.

I had the same problem when I created my pdf for my Realtor flyer using microsoft publisher. I was able to get rid of the unwated line by using a png file in the publisher before generating the pdf.

Thin green line at the bottom of my QT exports from FCP

Hello,
I have exported a series of QT vids from FCP. Each QT video file exhibits a thin (2 px)green line at the bottom of the player window. I can't seem to narrow down what is making this line appear. Can you please offer some suggestions? Remedies?
Thanks so much in advance.
Utilizing:
Quicktime Conversion
optimized for broadband Large
H.264 codec for HD footage
Custom 660x377 frame size (varied to see if that would fix the issue, did not)

So you only see it in QT Fullscreen mode?
The reason I'm pressing this is that I've seen green lines LIKE this with issues resulting from what seems like a very hot video card.
Usually they 1) aren't that crisp and 2) don't always show up each time you view it.
And this is AFTER compression, yes? For sure this isn't on the original material? Make sure you set your canvas in FCP to 100% size to see all of the lines.

My downloaded film has a white line at the bottom

My download of Guardians of the Galaxy has a white line at the bottom of the film.
This has also happened with some other rental films recently.
How do I get rid of the line?

Hello,
If it's still under Warranty have Apple look at it.

When doing the app exposé gesture, is it normal to see a thin white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen after minimizing a window?

I noticed that when I open two windoes (say Safari and Trash can) and minimize both windows so they go on the dock, when I do the swip down gesture with 3 fingers (App Expose´) there is a thin white horizontal line at the bottom of the screen. Does it happen to every macbook pro out there? Is this normal? Hope it's not a display screen problem...

You would have to have multiple pages of the app minimized.
This is what it looks like with Safari with 1 page open and 4 minimized.

Purple line at the bottom of the touch smart screen

I have a purple line at the bottom of my touch smart screen , that is causing the icons to flicker rapidly . How can i resolve this .

Hello,
If you restart your system, is that purple line still there?
During the boot process into windows, do you still have that same line?
If you boot into BIOS or into safemode, is that line still there?
You can try to remove the video card driver and see if that resolves if not, better to try to update the video card driver, but for that, you need to tell me what computer model you have, the exact and entire model.
Thanks,
I work for HP! Please remember to provide and if this helped click ON
