Black line on the screen

Recently I have sometimes got a black horizontal line across my iPad 2 screen. It always happens while I'm scrolling down or across a page, and disappears quite quickly. Is my iPad faulty? This never used to happen, and I find it quite irritating. What should I do?

Hi
This also happened time and what I did was to just clear cookies and the issue's gone :)
Hoping this will solve ur issue

Ipod Touch, black line on the screen

Hello.
I recently went on holiday to Corfu. I took my ipod with me, and while there, noticed one day that it had developed a black line across the screen. Even when turned off, you can still see it.
It doesn't effect the touch screen from working, it just doesn't look so good.
Is there a way to fix this?
Thanks

You may want to remove the Invisible Shield from the unit before taking it to the Apple Store. If they end up giving you a new touch, they likely won't replace/reimburse you for the Shield. If you have the Shield removed, at least you stand a chance in getting it replaced by sending it back to Zagg (you need to send your original Shield back to them to get a replacement). You can just send it back as being damaged and should get a brand new replacement which you can then use on the new touch. You cannot re-apply an already used Shield.
Tip: if you get a new touch and are waiting for a replacement Shield, keep the original protective plastic film on the touch until you get the Shield. I'm sure you know that the back of the touch will get scratched if you even look at it the wrong way.

I'm getting a series of black lines on the screen in Safari

This just sort of started out of the blue today. There are a bunch of black lines on the screen, and when I try to scroll, the lines just scroll along with it. When I look at things via an app, there are no lines, making me think it's a software issue with Safari. Anybody have this problem or know how to make it go away?

Using iCloud to sync bookmarks between your Mac and iPad?
If so, on the iPad tap Settings > iCloud. Swich Safari off then back on.
On your Mac, open System Preferences > iCloud
Deselect the box next to Safari then reselect it.
Give iCloud a few minutes to re sync your bookmarks.
If you are using iCloud, don't sync Safari bookmarks on iTunes. That could be why the bookmark tabs got emptied out.

I just bought an iPad 3 around 6 days ago, today I saw a vertical black line on the screen and I tried resetting my iPad but I couldn't fix it. I took it to many apple sale store and reseller but none of them agreed to fix my iPad, please help me with it!

I'm currently living in Saudi Arabia but I bought my iPad 3 from Dubai around 6 days ago, my device is still under warranty but none of the apple stores are fixing it over here in Saudi Arabia... Please help me with my situation!

Hi Eric Ferguson,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For troubleshooting on this, take a look at this article:
iTunes: Specific update-and-restore error messages and advanced troubleshooting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3694
Error 13, 14, 35 and 50 (or -50)
These errors are typically resolved by performing one or more of the steps listed below:
Perform USB isolation troubleshooting, including trying a different USB port directly on the computer. See the advanced steps below for USB troubleshooting.
Put a USB 2.0 hub between the device and the computer.
Try a different USB 30-pin dock-connector cable.
Eliminate third-party security software conflicts.
There may be third-party software installed that modifies your default packet size in Windows by inserting one or more TcpWindowSize entries into your registry. Your default packet size being set incorrectly can cause this error. Contact the manufacturer of the software that installed the packet-size modification for assistance. Or, follow this article by Microsoft: How to reset Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) to reset the packet size back to the default for Windows.
Connect your computer directly to your Internet source, bypassing any routers, hubs, or switches. You may need to restart your computer and modem to get online.
Try to restore from another known-good computer and network.
Best of luck,

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!

I bought an MacBook Air 13 from Dubai last month. However I see smudge lines on the screen of the laptop which are prominent if the screen is black. Does the macbook air have international warranty ? Since I am in India right now. Can I get it fixed here

I don't know what service options are available in India but if this helps I do know that once you purchase your Apple product the warranty is valid anywhere in the world.

My ipod screen is white with small vertical lines with one big black line in the middle

My ipod's screen turned white and had a few thin vertical lines and 1 thick black line in the center. the ipod can still play music but i have to randomly press the icons by memory to play music since I cannot figure out where the icons are. It all started after downloading a free app. I was browsing my ipod when the screen turned white. I already restored it to its original settings. I don't remember dropping my ipod. Help!

Since restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod did not solve the problem it appears that you have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Black line in the middle of the screen, I Pad is 2 years old, tried rebootng no change. Help!

black line in the middle of IPad

I am guessing when you say reboot, that you reset by holding the power button and home button until you saw the apple then let go. Did you try restoring it as new through iTunes on your computer? If you still have problems, you may want to make an appt with an Apple store.

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing
Hello all
Got an iMac since January 2008 and I do like it a lot, even though it has some issues:
-- It displays (quite often) lines partially across the screen
-- Lines appear as well when opening applications or when menus come up
-- The system freezes more than I like to admit (more than my Windows/Ubuntu box)
I don't know if the freezing has to do with the lines that are shown on my screen. But I assume that both issues relate to some video card problem. I can't be sure - but that's what I assume from living with this issue day to day.
The line on the desktop (most of the time it is there before login) I can always get rid of by changing the display resolution to something else and then changing it back. Normally the line is gone, or, reappears on a different spot on the desktop. But repeating the procedure removes the line.
However, this does not mean that the lines are not showing up again when launching apps or displaying menus!
And since those lines appear to happen randomly, I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking dead pixels here, either...
About the freezing:
My iMac freezes sometimes when I move the mouse around, when switching desktops using "spaces" or when the zoom function of the Dock kicks in. Sometimes the screen goes completely black, sometimes completely white. The mouse, however, always works. But the system requires a reboot.
Again, this happens too often to feel comfy about it.
With my little knowledge of Mac troubleshooting I assume that there's something wrong with the ATI card that's built into my Mac. On the other hand, some people say that they started getting similar issues after updating their OS to Leopard. Again other people say that such issues stem from an ATI revision that is too old and the Mac should get a new ATI card. And how would that work? Isn't that an "all-in-one" machine with everything soldered onto the mainboard?
So, any help in this matter is greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Rainer

Here are a few screen photos I've taken (not screenshots, as the lines are not visible when taking screenshots. I used my digicam to snap those...).
Here's the link to those screen photos displaying some of the many lines I keep having:

Needless to say, as I typed this message here, I had a nice line going across my Safari window..

T400s vertical line down the screen - outside of warranty

Hi
I've had a T400s for just a 2 bit over 2 years now and was always happy with it. I used it mostly with my docking station and have never travelled with it. Now out of the blue one day half the screen was black with a few pixel problems right in the middle with a clear vertical line down the screen. I was perplexed because I was sure no damage whatsoever happened to the notebook.
I googled and it seems to be a common problem:
A link among others:
"We have about 1200 T400s systems deployed and there has been a higher than normal failure rate with them compared to X301 and T61 systems. Our issues are LCD failure with a vertical line down the screen (very common), Speaker/Audio issues, and DoA systems."
http://forum.thinkpads.com/viewtopic.php?f=45&t=89101
The problem seems to be known:
http://support.lenovo.com/en_US/detail.page?LegacyDocID=MIGR-76367
But since the notebook is outside of warranty but it's obviously a manufacturing problem on a (very) expensive notebook, how could I approach Lenovo service center to repair it for me? I have shelled out well over 2'500 Euro for the latest model back then and am a bit disappointed to be honest..
Thanks for any advice on how to approach this!

Yes, I spent 3 years at a Toronto Bank who bought say 500 systems or so plus notebooks. ThinkPad's and Think Center product. I supported did the warranty work while there. When the warranty was up it was up!! Even if a lowly optical mouse fail and a number of them did. Too bad nor replacement.
I've delt with IBM, Compaq and HP. There customer relations is entirely at at different level and would and did on may occasions provide one time post warranty repair even for catestophic issues well after warranty was over. This is a case by case basis. You could reach them and talk to them (locally) and not haveway around the world having no sense of what significance your case it.
There is a difference as was the turn around time 48hrs max and not weeks.

HT4061 Black line on iPad screen

Black line on iPad screen?

I have an Ipad 1 gen bought in 2010. Doing some research I think there is a connection between date bought and the screens. Thick striped, black white or colored but Apple are refusing to acknowledge. If I can get enough people I will take this further if I can! Please join me on Facebook @Apple Ipad screen issues Thanks!

Qosmio G15: green vertical lines on the screen

It all started one regular day when I was playing music on my iTunes.
Suddenly my screen went black and the music stopped, but my power button was still blue. Ever since then, whenever I try to start it, it goes on the Qosmio screen and the Windows XP screen and plays the start-up sound, but it has all these green vertical lines on the screen. And then it goes black and tsays that way.
I have been able to use Windows VGA (whatever that means) with lines all over the screen, but I am not able to start it up normally. Does anyone have any suggestions or have had the same problem??? Please help me!!!
I have a Toshiba G15 Windows XP Media Centre, but am not able to use it normally!
-Alexis

Hello, This problem happens to me two weeks ago. I have a F10 and the warranty expired 3 months ago. I rarely use my laptop. Talked to a well known local store rep. He said there was a specculation on F10 as it was discontinous after a year of release. I agree that well known company like Toshiba should operate like Car companies and be honest on their products. Specially high end product like this.
I was not informed about extended warranty when I bought it as the local store just want to sell and sell and move on. One of the regional store which represents Toshiba to repair all Laptop, said They are only allowed to fix all laptops except Qosmios models. They have to sent it to Toshiba.
