Apple Boot Logo goes garbled for a brief second during boot

Hello,
Over the past few weeks I've been having nothing but issues with the software as well as the now existing boot logo that garbles itself up. I have a picture to show the issue. http://i.imgur.com/RRzMpen.jpg
This is a MacBook Pro Retina that's over a month old.
Anyone recommend me a suggestion to fix it without having it being serviced? I've reinstalled it twice and tried resetting the PRAM, SMC and reinstalling OSX and nothing worked. Everything is on it's latest version, and it started only today.

I think you have done it all. It is time to use that warranty that you have paid for. You may take advantage of the telephone support but I suspect a visit to the genius bar will be in order.
Ciao.
Bring your image documentation with you just in case the MBP does not replicate the phenomenon at the genius bar.

Those can be the features of faulty battery. See if you can get Recovery Mode, don't Restore just enter Recovery Mode. Connect iPhone to computer or Charger. Hold both home and power buttons for about 20 seconds, see if it enters Recovery Mode. When you unplug Recovery Mode will go away. If it enters Recovery Mode fine, then most likely faulty battery. If you like you can always enter Recovery Mode and try to Restore.

When I boot up my iPhone 4S it shows the Apple icon then goes black for over 30 seconds.

Why does my iPhone 4S, when I turn it on in the morning and it shows the Apple icon, turns complete black for over 30 seconds before I can swipe and log in? This started happening when I upgraded to iOS8

When I try starting my iPod touch, it won't start; the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds, and then, it just shuts off. I tried to charge it through an outlet; the iPod didn't even charge, so I tried to restore my settings on my computer. iTunes won't

when i try starting my IPod it won't start, the Apple logo comes up for a few seconds,and then. it just shut off . I tried to charged it through an outlet, the IPod didn't eve charger so I tried to restore my setting in my computer, i tunes won't

But that requires the computer to see the ipod. I am having the same problem and I keep being told to restore it, but you have to either get the ipod to turn on or have the computer see it in order to so that. Right now I have a pretty useless 32GB ipod touch cos I cant get the thing to turn on! I can only get the apple logo for like maybe 20 seconds and it goes away. Ive charged it for days on a wall charger, on the computer usb charger, and on a speaker charger. Nothing works.

U3415W, randomly goes black for like 2 seconds?

Just got this monitor and I'm having the exact same issue. Goes black for like 2 seconds randomly. It's differently on the monitor side of things, as I have another monitor connect through DP(daisy chain) and the same issue happens on that monitor as well. Both random, but sometimes at the same time with each. My third monitor which is connected through DVI has zero issues. I have tried the Dell without anything else connect, but getting the same issues.
Any ideas?

I am indeed, just a single mDP to DP was supplied. The issue was there with just that cable and the Dell monitor connected.
I have since turned off DP 1.2 on the monitor and the issue has gone away. Problem is that my graphics card supports DP 1.2, so that shouldn't have been causing any issues. (Sapphire R9 290 Vapor-X)
Dell support were support to contact be back again today so I can update them, but never got a call.

Thank you everyone for your suggestions and help. Ended up logging out of my apple ID account. Of note, when I did I did a quick test and checked out both the movies and tv show options, and it all worked perfectly. I then logged back in, and now all my purchased and rentals are available which makes sense. I guess with the update there was some weird bit of trons that required one to log out then back in. Probably doing a rest in between may not hurt for some. Thanks again for all the assistance. Cheers.
It looks like there is a Apple doc for this problem here -> Apple TV: Unable to access Movies, TV Shows, or other iTunes features after updating

Monitor goes black for a few seconds then recovers

This has been a great machine. Since 2014, the Monitor keeps going blank for 3/4 seconds then comes back. I have done my driver search and have installed the updated driver software but the problem persists. Please help. Bijou

Yeah, I'm using the HP2210m monitor to another computer with the same cable. The end result is the monitor seems to be working okay.
The other monitor I test to my computer is a different type of monitor and using a different cable. The end result is the other monitor stays up.
Basically, here's the situation
My computer (computer A)
My HP 2210m monitor (monitor A)
My DIVX cable (Cable A1), My VGA cable (Cable A2)
My Nvidia 560ti video card (Video Card A)
My Windows 7 Platform
Other computer (computer B)
Other NEC monitor (monitor B)
Other VGA cable (Cable B)
Other integrated video card (Video Card B)
Other Windows XP Platform
So here's the set ups:
1) Computer A + Monitor A + Cable A + Video Card A = Monitor starts blinking
2) Computer B + Monitor B + Cable B + Video Card B = Everything okay
3) Computer A + Monitor B + Cable B + Video Card A = Everything okay
4) Computer B + Monitor A + Cable A + Video Card B = Everything okay
I will try testing set up 1 (My computer) with Bios and Safe Mode. I'm not even sure if my computer came with an integrated video card since I had the computer built with another stand alone video card (an ATI) before I switched to an Nvidia. Just in case you were going to ask, I no longer have the ATI card in the machine and I used Guru Sweeper to completely remove all left over driver information from the ATI.

Voice Signal Goes Dead for a Few Seconds From Time to Time

I live in a rural part of Marin County that has poor signal: one bar or less. I've purchased a signal booster which has increased my bar level to 4 -- which is terrific. What I'm noticing however is that the voice signal goes dead for a few seconds (5 - 10 seconds) during a conversation. This happens every few minutes. Voice connectivity then returns for a few minutes only to cut off again for a few seconds and so on. This happens if I'm inside my house. If I go outside, it doesn't seem to happen. I've turned the booster box this way and that but no change. I've also changed the ariel this way and that, but no change. What's up with this? It's very annoying to be on a call and have the sound go dead.

Hi yraglleb - Let's keep your audio clear and consistent! What model is your Network Extender? May I also ask the current iOS version of your device? Check Settings>General>About. Have you tested other phones on the same Extender? I look forward to getting this resolved!
Thank you,

I cannot access my words with friends on my ipad. For a brief second it shows a saying "updating this will take a few minutes". It has now been 15 hours. What can I do?

I cannot access my words with friends on my ipad. For a brief second a screen will come saying "updating this will take a few minutes" . It has been 15 hours! What can I do?

That means the person you are playing doesn't have the app on their phone!! And they can only play on the PC?
How about asking the person your playing if they have the app or not.
If you don't want help here, you can more than ask the WWF developer why your having trouble.
You can take your attitude somewhere else!!

When I turn on my iPhone 4S the apple logo pops up for a split second then the screen goes black but the phone itselfs boots up just fine???

I tried replacing the screen with no luck. The same thing happened with the new screen. I replaced the backlight coil and the backlight ic and still have the issue. I don't know what else could be the problem. If the battery is completely dead and I plug it in the "charging battery" symbol shows just fine during the entire time it is charging, but as soon as it starts to boot up the apple logo shows for a split second then the screen goes black. The rest of the phone still boots up just fine. I can use SIRI, press the lock button like I'm about to use my phone and slide my thumb across where the "slide to unlock" would normally be and it will make the unlock noise just no picture display. I am pretty tech savvy when it comes to repairs and all of the connections look fine, replaced backlight coil and ic, replaced LCD/digitizer, tried a restore, tried a DFU restore, multiple hard resets, but I am at a loss as to where to go from here. I had dropped the phone and put a minor crack in the screen but the phone worked just fine for a couple months after before this started to happen. The phone is still under apple warranty but apple won't cover it because Apple is stating that it is "caused by the crack in the screen." But being a repair technician I know that is not the case... Good one apple. So I took it upon myself to try to determine the REAL problem. Anyone with a little more knowledge have any ideas? Any suggestions are appreciated!!

Yes, I understand that. But The screen issue is not a result of user damage. The phone was not dropped when the screen got cracked. My daughter was standing in a chair at the table and dropped one of her toys onto the bottom of the phone and cracked it right by the home button. (Nowhere near the LCD/digitizer flex cables, connections, or logic board components) then a few months later my phone had died, I plugged it in, it showed it was charging, then Apple logo disappeared and screen didn't work. AFTER contacting Apple about the issue and them telling me that it "is a result of the very minimal crack to the sheet of glass that has no relation to the LCD or Digitizer and that the warranty does not cover it I had taken it upon myself to change the LCD/digitizer to no avail, as well as backlight ic and backlight coil to no avail. But how do I go about letting Apple know that it is in fact NOT due to the cracked screen nor is it due to the flex cable connections? I can't. So the lady that works the call center phones trying to "convince" me that she knows what she is talking about and "convince" me that it is from the cracked screen I have to take her word because I can't show Apple that its not because of that without paying them $199 to fix the screen in which case they will just send me a new phone rather than fix the faulty hardware under warranty.

My IPad 2 will not start. I have tryed to reset and this still did not help. After I reset the Apple logo comes on for just a second then is gone leaving a blank screen.

My IPad2 will not start after pushing the home button and the sleep button. The Apple logo is on for a short time then the screen goes black.

i just wanted to know what will happen to all of my pictures and videos if i restore my ipad, i dont want to lose that stuff, also i tried to update my ipad, it tells me to plug it in to the computer and when i do, it shows on itunes its extracting the data or something like that, but it does not began the update process, after awhile it just brings up ipad device not found, and then my ipad dies so i charge and let it charge all day till night time and all that pops up is the plug in to the itunes image on my screen, so i need to know what to do, please help me.

Apple logo takes a while to show up during boot up

I noticed that when I restarted my MacBook today, the Apple logo takes a while (20-30 seconds) to just show up before the spinning gear shows up.
I'm not sure what caused this. Any ideas? Thanks.
Things I've tried
1. Repair disk permissions
2. Verify disk
3. Reset PRAM
4. Boot into Safe Mode
5. Make sure Mac OS X 10.6.5 is the startup disk

It sounds normal for me. My iMac always does that. But my sample size is a bit low; I think I have only rebooted it five or six times since I first received it in August.
Are you using Boot Camp? If not, rebooting is rarely necessary. Try using sleep mode instead of shutting down. Waking up from sleep mode is really fast.
