Apple air's screen has several horizontal lines

screen has several horizontal lines

Is this related to Aperture? Did it start happening with a Yosemite update? More details and whether this is a new problem would be helpful. How are we supposed to help otherwise?

Problem of 5800 screen comes in horizontal lines

Dear nokia team,
i have a wide spreading problem in my & similar phones nokia 5800
after i updated the firmware the screen come into horizontal lines doesn't show anything once i lock the screen and reopen the it again , the problem began when the mobile is in a room with cold temprature, when i warm it it works again,
but now the problem became more diffficult, not only in air conditioned rooms, but all the time ,
Please help me with the final solution ,
beware that my firmware version begin with 60.0... the latest one

Perhaps a reset of SMC may help it, the system management controller is a power manager of a sort and maybe if something is not seriously wrong, that could do. Yet screen resolution and other issues can be addressed by a reset of the NVRAM in a different procedure, formerly known as a PRAM reset.
However there are hardware circuits that also may be the cause of such symptom, and I'm not sure how you'd test for that. The computer shipped with a test of some sort on the original boot install disc, that could check some hardware items and try to repair the hard drive, etc. There may be display hardware troubles behind the symptoms you'd noted and if you can eliminate the software probability, then the possibility of a hardware issue may be the answer. A few parts could be user-replaced given experience and skill in doing these kinds of things, and there are guides to look into at http://www.ifixit.com/Device/Mac_Laptop
Read though and see if there is an indication a reset may help.
• Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1573 (note PRAM reset is NVRAM w/ intel-based Mac)
• Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)

• About NVRAM and PRAM:

Hopefully the a reset will help, as a troubleshooting measure or to eliminate ailments. A reset of SMC has been said to help in some cases because it also resets the power to the graphic card, so that is a possibility. And NVRAM may be another thing to try after SMC.
Good luck & happy computing!

Hi jkjuarez2012,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:

If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.

My macbookpro 15" screen has vertical blue lines

Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010) 2.53GHz Interl Core i5 running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
Generally the computer and screen are in good condition and have had no damage.
The screen has Vertical blue lines and there is a tint of blue generally. The startup apple grey screen however is perfect, it is only when it enters the login screen that the lines appear. All the colours are off. Other than these lines the computer works perfectly
The computer was used yesterday (09 June 2012) without a problem for approx 1hour. It was then left for the day indoors on a desk out of direct sunlight. The computer was switched on later that evening and the problem started to appear
I have already tried to reset the PRAM and SMC with no affect.
I also read that it may be a cable problem, however as the startup screen works perfectly i question this.
Please can you help!
Thanks in advance,
Alex.

I suggest you take it to an Apple store genius bar or a repair facility for evaluation. This is most likely a hardware problem.
Ciao.

Macbook Pro Retina 13"late 2013 2.4GHz Intel Core i5 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3 Intel Iris 1536MB 251 GB Flash.
My screen has developed vertical lines down the left hand side yesterdays photo there is more today.

My screen has vertical colored lines going through it. i think it is cracked, how do i get this fixed, my computer is out of warranty? also, it gets worse if i touch it at all!!! help please

my screen has like 20 different-colored vertical lines going down it and they seem to be stemming from a horizontal black line. it looks like a crack in the screen. there is no physical crack on the outside but i am assuming it is on the inside. my macbook is not under warranty anymore. how can i get this fixed, will it be expensive? what can i do?? if i touch it at ALL it gets way worse, im scared if i even close my macbook it will get worse. please help!!!

Have you tried:
- Reset the iPod. Nothing will be lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory settings/new iPod.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for this price:
Apple - Support - iPod - Repair pricing
A third-party place like the following maybe less. Google for more.

Black screen on startup; horizontal lines on screen precede crash

A few days ago my Mac Book Pro screen freaked out. Specifically, it had multicolored horizontal lines all over, but underneath I could see a dark grey dialogue box telling my to restart the computer.
Now, about two thirds of the time, when I try to start up the screen stays black and it does not make any startup noises but the power light comes on steady. One time this was accompanied by a beeping tone that beeped in sets of three. The other one third of the time it starts up fine.
Once it shut itself down after the horizontal lines appeared again.
Once it has frozen while on the screensaver and I had to manually shut it down.
Any idea what might be causing this? My computer is still under warrantee but I live over an hour and a half from the nearest apple store.

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
If you have the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT video chip, you might be developing this problem:
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS2377
The beeps and kernel panic do seem to point to a RAM problem. If you replaced the original Apple RAM with 3rd party RAM, try the Apple RAM if you still have it and see if this cures the problem. Otherwise, try reseating it as described earlier.
Here is an article that may be of help:
http://www.thexlab.com/faqs/kernelpanics.html
Finally, since you are so far from an Apple Store, call Apple on the phone and explain your problems. It's possible that they could refer you to an AASP in your area that could evaluate your machine and save you a trip. It's also possible they could determine that you have some sort of hardware problem and could send you a box to ship your Mac to the Repair Depot. In any event, be sure to contact Apple while your warranty is in effect and get a case number, especially if you are getting close to the end of your Applecare.
Good luck!

HT201406 i have a frozen ipod touch the screen has multicolored vertical lines and is non responsive any ideas?

i have an i pod touch which appears to be frozen it has multicoloured vertical lines on the screen and is non responsive has anyone had the same probs

If that does not work:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

HT4061 My ipad has coloured horizontal lines

My Ipad has got coloured lines running accross the middle of the screen. Is there anything I can do to get rid of them

First thing to try is a reboot of your iPad. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the iPad restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help take your iPad to an Apple Store for a consultation. Make an appointment first.

I'm using Win 7 and Firefox Screen fills with horizontal lines,

Had no problems with previous versions of FF. I updated with FFv4 several weeks ago and have my browser screen continually being filled with horizontal lines. I can remove some of them by using the vertical scroll bar but they return when the display contains a lot of text. Sometimes when display is pictures or videos I am spared. This never occurred before FFv4. If a screen contains a few pictures and is engulfed in lines I can scroll it with my mouse and some pictures reappear but there are still lines over the rest of the display. I use an antivirus (BitDefender) and scan regularly. I also use Windows Defender for protection which was recommended by my AV manufacturer.
Sometimes of late I have noticed that when the display is no maximized the problem doesn't happen as often. I use a 19" monitor.
So far tonight while writing this note I haven't experienced a problem but the window is not set to max.

I had this problem as well. For me, the solution was to disable the two latest add-ons I had installed: Cooliris and HP Detect (I have a Pavilion dm1z). The issue with horizontal lines went away after restarting the browser.

Screen randomly flickers (horizontal lines) -- Is it hardware or software?

In the last week my macbook screen has started to flicker...
This happens when I'm surfing, working on photos, and doing other tasks...
The the flickering seems very horizontal and is completely random in the time (mostly only for a second or two a few times a day) and the amount (less then 10% of the screen 90% of the time).
I cannot tell of it's hardware or software.
What can I do to solve this issue?
*Are there any questions you could ask that could help troubleshoot this problem?*

To my experience, it is hardware problem. Screen flickering is a complex problem because it can be caused by the logic board, LCD screen or inverter. Most of the time the problem is caused by the video components on the logic board. You can connect your MacBook to an external display to narrow down the root cause of your screen flickering problem.
If you have further question or need help, you can send me an email. I am glad to reply your email.

After installing yosemite start up screen has black wavy lines

After I have installed yosemite on my macbook pro the start up screen has wavy lines on it. When it first starts the line is in the middle of the screen and then it goes wavy black lines and then finally is ready to go. Is anyone else having this problem and how can I fix it. Thanks

Hey wealthylives,
Welcome to the HP Forums!
As the computer screen is remaining black/blank after the hard reset, I would suggest the following document 'Troubleshooting Black Screen Displays with No Error Messages During Startup or Boot'. Please follow through the steps outlined in order.
Please let me know the outcome of the troubleshooting.
Thank you.

Screen has got white lines on

My Mac screen has suddenly got coloured vertical line on half of the screen and the first few that appeared last week now has gone completely white and that part of the screen just wont work, what can i do or can it be repaired?

This could be repaired but will be costly when compared to how much your machine is worth. At this point it may be better to cut your loses and sell it on ebay as parts. You could get 100-200 depending on the model and hardware.
Bottom line though it could be the LCD going bad but most likely its the GPU and sadly it is not a separate piece. It is integrated into the logic board. The machine could also have a common symptom of bad capacitors that could be affecting the video side of things.

Screen has purple/pink lines and blue square whenever I plug in usb or ac adapter

Hi all,
I recently bought a macbook (white) at the end of last year. However, recently I've had a problem where if I plug in something to the usb (like an external hdd) or the ac adapter to charge, my screen gets purple/pink lines and a blue square. A screenshot of what I see is linked below. Any input for solving this problem would be appreciated.

Yeah - the monitor was faulty...
Thanks to everyone that responded to the several posts.

My MacBook air's screen has gone black, how can I fix or reset it?

MY macbook airs screen has gone black and won't come back on. The keyboard still lights up. When I turn it off and back on it makes the start up sound, but not a thing comes up on the screen. No idea what else to do. Please help.

Try the fn key (bottom right) and the F2 key (top left) together and step up the brightness.
