Black and white lined screen

I was using my iphone to watch movies and programs the other night then my screen got lines coming half way across the screen at the bottom right hand corner. After they disapeared my phone screen went black and now it has white lines going side to side covering the screen. Every now and then the date and time pops up. I can still unlock my phone and use it but i cannot see anything, i can hear my messages coming through and i can answer the phone.
Do i need to get a new screen?
Iphone 4
Thanks

Hey Charliejane_,
If you are having an issue with video on your iPhone, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
Specifically -
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

Nope, not ever. Take it in for service.

I cant get the black and white apple screen off

its not at hold and it is responding but how do i get it off of the screen?
its not working for me at all.

only when i have the cd in there, and i redownload it.

Black and white bar screen x230

Since recently my laptop shows a big black and white bar after booting. After applying a little force to the screen i get different colorsLike so:
And after applying some more force, not too roughly of course, it is all fine again. However im afraid that after a while it will not be fixable by a little force anymore. I did not drop the laptop to cause this and have never taken the screen appart.
Is this something i can fix? should i send the laptop for warranty? (still have a year or so left)?

Seems the culprit is a damaged cable from systemboard to the screen or connector between them. I know about the such issues with x220 that has similar design and the same screen models.
To attempt resolve an issue you should disassemble keyboard, remove the screen bezel and get access to the entire cable (inside of the hinges including) and connector. Then have a look at them closely, probably you'll find some defect.
Or contact with warranty service.

Macbook monitor is a shaking black and white screen

My macbook monitor screen keeps going to a black and white shaking screen and the only way to get it to stop is power off and back on. Soon after I power it back on, the screen goes back to the black and white shaking screen. Any idea?

Unfortunately protected content is blocked from Airplay using Apple's DVD Player (same for playing back DRM protected video in iTunes or Quicktime, but you are better off using Home Sharing for that).
For this reason the OS does not allow the Airplay algorithm to grab the screen displaying 'protected video' - annoyingly even unportected home made DVDs will exhibit this.
Try using something like VLC Player instead.
This was such an obvious use for Airplay but the movie studios probably insisted.

Iphone start up screen black and white stripes

My iPhone 4S powers up with a black and white striped screen then goes black. If I do a reset, it will eventually come back, work properly, and then go black again. When plugged into power, with screen set never to sleep, it works.

That's a sign of a hardware fault.
make an appointment at the genius bar and have it looked at.

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

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.

There's a black and white striped glitch on the left side of my screen on my Macbook Air! Its happened before and has been an easy fix, usually just restart or turn off my computer but don't know what else to do. Is there anything I can try now?

How can I print in black and white only directly from apps on hp screen?

My printer preference from my pc is set to print in black and white from my computer. How do I set the same black and white settings from the HP Photosmart Plus printer, when printing directly from Apps on Home screen?

Hello AdrianaSFleury,
At this time there is not an option or a default to set black and white only from the front panel of the printer. Some applications may give you settings in the Application itself for color or black and white but that would be the only place to change the color of the document/photo for your print jobs.

Ipod photo stuck in disk mode and screen is in Black and white

came to use my ipod photo after about a week of not using it. when i took it out the colour screen was in black and white and the screen is stuck to saying it is in disk mode with a large tick.
the ipod will mount and does show up in itunes it will even play songs via itunes. i have tried resetting to no avail and my next option was to restore to factory settings which i am loathe to do as i have songs on my ipod that are no longer in my itunes library.
anyone had similar issue or can suggest a fix
thanks

well the problem has been solved...hope this may help others having this issue.
i basically just let the battery run out, then connected the ipod to my laptop and voila...it reset and all is well again...
pretty random, but glad it is all working again.

How do i change my screen back to color it is black and white?

My husbands iphone 5 is acting up. First screen is black and white-tried switching toggle in Accessibility but didn't do anything. Second his contacts keep disappearing and third the battery is dying frequently. Any ideas?

Can you go into detail about the screen going black and white? What do you mean by this?

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

Have a MacBook Pro. the computer will not boot up, the screen has black and white stripes and multi color bands as well.

Yeah it's dead. Take it to an Apple Genius Bar and have it checked out. Then buy a new one.

Trying to update and my nano screen goes from color to black and white...

Last time this happened I lost all of the information on my ipod.
I was trying to get my newly purchased music from itunes to my nano. I couldn't. The help sections told me to update my ipod. I'm currently trying to update with 2006-03-23 and the screen still says "initializing" and actually as I type this the screen that says initializing appears frozen (although I've learned apple stuff is weird because it appears frozen but it's not). How long should this take? Is there something I'm doing wrong? Why does my ipod screen go from color to black and white? Do I need to redo anything? Do I need to reset my nano?
Please help with the ******** mac user (I've always used Windows and I am lost in the mac world apparently when it comes to ipods)

Can you get the exact wording for that error? Is it can't mount iPod?
Also, make sure iTunes is up to date...
iTunes
Finally, make sure your iPod's battery is charged up.
