Apple TV has white lines, poor/no audio, flickers

We have just finished suffering through ongoing issues with our Apple TV. Screen would go blank or flicker consistently, usually about 20 minutes into a rented or purchased video. Tried a range of solutions (changing to lower resolution, hardwiring to the network, etc.), but could not isolate the cause. Reset the system, updated the software, unplugged/replugged the HDMI cables, etc.
I should have remembered my basics.
After switching the HDMI cable from the existing port to a second one on the TV, all the issues went away. And have stayed away. It seems to have been an issue with the TV's HDMI port, which was not the one originally used when I bougth the Apple TV, but we started using the poor performing port when we tried cable for a bit. (BTW, combination of MLB + Hulu + iTunes = no cable. I only get a box when we need to watch a particular sporting series)

A restore does solve the problem, however if I wait a few days to use the Apple TV, I end up with the same issue...No sound. I then have to reset it to factory Settings again. My Apple TV was working great and then I updated the latest and "Greatest" software.....Since then I've had these issues. Any idea what would cause this ?

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running google maps app on the phone. Siri cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Thanks.

Apple maps has received a poor performance rating just after introduction of the iPhone 5. I am running Google Maps app on the phone. SIRI cannot seem to get me to a specific address. Where does the problem lie? Also can anyone tell me the hierarchy of use between the Apple Maps, SIRI, and Google maps when the app is on the phone? How do you choose one over the other as the default map usage? Or better still how do you suppress SIRI from using the Apple maps app when requesting a "go to"?
I have placed an address location into the CONTACTS list and when I ask SIRI to "take me there" it found a TOTALLY different location in the metro area with the same street name. I have included the address, the quadrant, (NE) and the ZIP code into the CONTACTS list. As it turns out, no amount of canceling the trip or relocating the address in the CONTACTS list line would prevent SIRI from taking me to this bogus location. FINALLY I typed in Northeast for NE in the CONTACTS list (NE being the accepted method of defining the USPS location quadrant) , canceled the current map route and it finally found the correct address. This problem would normally not demand such a response from me to have it fixed but the address is one of a hospital in the center of town and this hospital HAS a branch location in a similar part of town (NOT the original address SIRI was trying to take me to). This screw up could be dangerous if not catastrophic to someone who was looking for a hospital location fast and did not know of these two similar locations. After all the whole POINT of directions is not just whimsical pasttime or convenience. In a pinch people need to rely on this function. OR, are my expectations set too high?
How does the iPhone select between one app or the other (Apple Maps or Gppgle Maps) as it relates to SIRI finding and showing a map route?
Why does SIRI return an address that is NOT the correct address nor is the returned location in the requested ZIP code?
Is there a known bug in the CONTACTS list that demands the USPS quadrant ID be spelled out, as opposed to abreviated, to permit SIRI to do its routing?
Thanks for any clarification on these matters.

siri will only use apple maps, this cannot be changed. you could try google voice in the google app.

HT5858 I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages. So, in trying to revert to the default settings on my iPad I went into "Settings" and reset everything. Now, I have a black screen with a white apple and a white line! What do

For the last severl weeks I have had difficulty launching sites from within my email messages. Thinking that I may have gone into "Settings" and set something wrong, I decided to reset to the default settings. So, in "Settings" I chose reset everything. Now, when I turn my iPad on all I get is a black screen with the picture of a white apple and a white line below it. Nothing else works. What can I do? Do I need to send this back to Apple to be restored?

You will hopefully be able to restore it yourself. It sounds like you erased all constant and settings rather than resetting all settings. But I'm basing my theory on the fact that you are seeing the Apple logo with the white progress bar (the white line) on the screen. That's what you would see if the software was being reinstalled and then it stopped on you. If that is what happened, you need to restore again and most likely need to use recovery mode.
You can read about recovery mode here.
Recovery mode - Apple
However ...... If you are seeing the white line when you turn the iPad, let it go for twenty minutes or so, before you try restoring again. There is possibility that the software is still be installed and it can take a while before you see that white line move at all indicating that progress is being made.
Frankly, I don't think that the software is still being installed, but since you didn't say specifically how long the iPad has been like this, it could just be that the software hasn't finished installing yet. If you know better - meaning that it's been like this for hours or longer, then you do need to restore the device.

My iPod 5th generation has white lines across the screen and i cannot unlock it

My iPod has white lines across the screen. I cannot do anything! Somebody please help! P.S. I dropped it and it did this.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. I suspect that the drop damaged the iPod

White line across an audio track on premiere pro cc

In trying to access the waveform and volume control on a clip I don't know what I did but now there is a white line across the entire track preventing me from moving clips on that track - can anyone help me turn this off? thanks!

it wont show the waveform unless "zoomed" in enough. if this is the case for you, you can use the scroll wheel over the audio track (A1 for example), and scroll up or down to zoom in and out. its also possible to zoom in using the scroll bar handles to the right, at the end of timeline. make sure "show audio waveform" and "show audio keyframes" is turned on to see the audio waveform and volume automation line. you can hold down the ctrl key instead of switching to the pen tool, to create new points when clicking the white line. adjust as needed...

Viewing a pdf in Firefox browser has white lines. How can I fix the problem?

Viewing a pdf document in the FireFox browser (other browsers the document is fine) shows white lines though the pictures. I have tried different ways to save the document (printing or save as) as a pdf and I either get white lines or missing content while viewing on Firefox.

Please update to the latest version of Firefox.
*[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
Also make sure that your graphics card drivers and WebGl drivers are up to date
*[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
Which pdf viewer are you using?
In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
#Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
#In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
#In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
#On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.

Illustrator CS3 - Bug? Export to JPG has white line on outline of image

When using the export (under file) in Illustrator CS3 to save the image to a .jpg file I save it as a RGB (was created initially as CMYK) using quality of medium, method = baseline (standard), depth = screen and anti-alias checked. I tried a number of variations from these standards. THis is what was used on the image you can see at http://www.punchitupnow.com. You will see that a white border (even though made sure to use yellow border color) is present, especially on the bottom of the image (look closely as the image include yellow, which blends with the page color). I you use the file > save for web option you get a preview that shows the white border on the bottom of the image. Any ideas why this is showing? Is it a bug?
Thank you.

Eileen:
Jacob is saying you should use a crop area.
You should also consider setting the Matte (in Save for Web) to match the background-color of your page.
Also, you really should work in RGB from the get-go to design anything for the web at all... There are lots of colors in CMYK that don't exist in the RGB gamut and vice-versa.
I'd suggest using a smaller image or just some text on your page while it's under construction, or maybe a combination. The way it's set up now, it's kind of annoying to have to wait and look at that horrid yellow while waiting for an image to load only to find it won't do anything for you.

After printing a few good lines, the print fades or has white lines through it. Suggestion?

My HHP 1610 has been causing me problems for months. I've replaced the cartridges a couple of times. I sometimes don't use it for a week or two so have dabbed alcohol on the ink disbursing face of the cartridge to moisten it. Neither the colour nor the black are working well today. How do I know if I need a new printer?

Try the troubleshooting steps here.
It is not good to manually wipe the nozzles, you can force air into the nozzle plate which can cause issues. Also, alcohol should not be put on the nozzle plate, it can cause the plate to delaminate from the underlying electronics. Alcohol can also dry out the capping station using the rubber to crack.
