After update (July 12th), lines go across my screen
After, I updated my computer, I did it on July 12th, I'm pretty sure the update came before it, I just never did it. When I started using firefox and itunes there would be lines across the top of my screen. Don't know why, but any ideas on how to fix it (other than going into an apple store).

I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:
http://www.apple.com/feedback
They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app. -
A black border and semi circle have appeared on my screen of my iPhone 5. It wasn't there this morning it just appeared now a yellow tinge has appeared around the semi circle and sometimes I get a line going across my screen which then disappears
Did you already try to reset the phone by holding the sleep and home button for about 10sec, until the Apple logo comes back again? You will not lose data by resetting, but it can cure some glitches after installing new software or apps.
If this does not work, set it up as new device, explained here:

If still no luck, get it serviced by Apple or visit an Authorized Apple Service Provider next to your place and let them have a look at your device. -
Laptop suddenly had horizontal lines running across the screen
Suddeenly horizontal lines appreared across the screen .
I have shut down and started up the computer numerous times and it does not go away .
It also affects the graphics and text on the screen .
If I cannot fix should I have the computer cleaned and set back to factory standard and how do i do that /
Thanks2 possibilities:
1. The video chip (motherboard) has gone bad; or,
2. Just the screen has gone bad.
Connect the computer to an external monitor and see if the lines appear on it. If so, it is #1.
It is doubtful that restoring the laptop to factory specs will have any effect on the isue either way but if you want to do that you can tap F11 as you power up to enter factory reset. -
My ipad 1st gen has loads of coloured lines going across the screen so I can't see any ideas ?
My ipad first gen has loads of coloured lines going across the screen so I can't see any ideas ??
Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't fix things, do a restore:

If that still didn't fix the issue, then there is probably a hardware problem. -
After updating my iphone 4 to iOS6 the screen will periodically fade out to black and will not come back up. I have to shut the phone off and back on 2 or 3 times to get it to come back on. I have done a restore and that did not help. any ideas? is this happening to anyone else?
did you restore from backup or as a new device? Restore as a new device. Before you add any apps to it, use the phone with just the iOS-installed apps. If it's fine, slowly add a few purchased apps back at a time. Do this until the offending app is found.

When I scroll up or down on my screen, black and grey lines run across my screen and next to the scroll bar. How do it fix it?
it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
or you can go into settings>general> assessability> zoom and turn it off.
hope this helps -
My mac screen is frozen with white fuzzy lines going across the screen. I shut it off and turn it back on but it still remains white fish lines on the start up screen. I've tried revolting it, it works sometimes but now its stuck at the starting screen. I have been at this for 2 hours to try and fix it but nothing has changed about the screen. What do I do, if I break this computer I'm screwed.
I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

Why are there lines going across the screen?
Why are there lines going across the screen?
It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
Good luck! -
Equium M40X: red lines running across the screen
I seem to be getting red lines running across my screen( from top to bottom) as i move my mouse.any idea whats wrong. ie is it the screen or something else.
i however connected it to a monitor and got the same problem so am presuming my screen fine.
maybe my graphic.and if so anybody with a solution or will i just have to dismantle it..
thanksDoes this happen as Windows boots up or during the desktop??
It sounds like you graphics processor is defected to be honest I would only expect this problem to occur with LCD screens but as you said it happens using the external monitor.
Try changing your display modes to see if this has made any difference.

when i unplugg my ipod lines appear across the screen and wont turn on how come?
Is it working properly when it is connected to power?
when i unplugg my ipod lines appear across the screen and wont turn on
Please clarify... Does the screen look "normal" (and is it turned "on") when connected? When you disconnect it, "lines appear across the screen"? If it "wont turn on," how are there lines (or anything) appearing on the screen? -

After updating to mavericks on my MacBook, the screen keeps saying "setting up your mac." It has been like this for hours! How can I make it go faster? It's has been like this for 4 hrs.
I don't think your mac is setting up. It's stuck.
I would:
hold the power button until it shuts down
unplug all peripherals
do a safe boot (restart and hold down the shift key until you see the apple logo).
If it starts up in a safe boot, then you can try restarting with a normal boot.
If it does not start with a normal boot, then you probably have some incompatible third party software. Likely culprits are:
MacKeeper
CleanMyMac
third-party antivirus software
any other "cleaning" or "optimizing" or similar third party "utilities".
A good place to start would be to uninstall any of those (while in safe mode) and then restart. -
There is a thin horizontal line running across the width of my screen about 1/4 of the way from the bottom. This line, along with an occasional vertical line about a 1/3 of the way from the right side of my monitor, started appearing about 7 days ago. Usually the line would disappear after a restart but now it seems intent on staying. Does anyone know what is going on and how can I resolve this?
