Display all horizontal lines

Hi
The display within the browser window shows all horizontal black and white lines. This happens randomly and can be cleared with back/forward. Nvidia Ge Force 6150. Does not happen with IE.
Regards
John

I'm having a similar problem. I have a 23 inch Cinema less than four months old and periodically when I boot up, the screen generates a kind of criss cross set of lines and patterns, similar to plaid. When I reboot it opens normally accept once when the problem appeared twice. My concern is that this is an internal defect with the display and if so I'd like it replaced before the warranty expires.

Photoshop Images displaying a horizontal line

Framemaker 10 - Photoshop files (PSD) that I import (File -> Import -> File -> Copy into document) into my master pages are all displaying a horizontal line on the right side of the image. The line is not in the original image. Does anyone know what is causing this anomoly? Thanks Chris.

Hello Everyone,
I'm having the same issue with the vertical line appearing on the right side of my .psd image in FrameMaker, but only when it is printed to .PDF.
Here are some of the things I've tried:
Checked the .psd image for layers and found none. Therefore, it can't be flattened.
Zoomed in on the right side to see if I have any phantom pixels, but have found none.
Used the trim tool (Image>Trim). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
Tried saving as a pdf instead of printing to .pdf, but it still has the line.
The line reminds me of the "track edits" line that appears in the left margin of the text when tracking edits in FrameMaker. If I save the Photoshop image as an .eps file with Tiff preview and then print to .pdf from FrameMaker, the line isn't there. Has anyone figured out if it's a FrameMaker, Photoshop, or Acrobat thing?
Thanks,
Peg

New display, same horizontal lines

I've got a new display (Apple doesn't replace the entire PowerBook in Switzerland) and the new one has the same horizontal lines.
Does anybody own an 1440x960 15" PowerBook WITHOUT these horizontal lines??
Thanks!
Andreas

All this talk about the display brings back memories of my 2000 PowerBook G3/FW. There were huge variations in the displays of those PowerBooks. Eventually I learned to cope and calibrated my screen. Still, it practically killed my interest in digital photography, as my photos mostly looked dull and uninteresting on that screen.
In comparison, the 15" issue with lines is really minor, but I admit it is there and can be seen.
I made a test that is possibly even easier to interpret than the famous "crankycat" image: http://www.cameraid.com/art/quadrants.gif
The rectangle has four quadrants. The bottom two should be the same shade even on a PB G4/15DL and on an ideal display, all four should be the same color. On the PB G4/15DL, the top two quadrants are not the same shade of gray, but the screen position determines which one is brighter and which one is darker.
If there's a difference between top left and top right, your screen is affected.

Pink and black blocky display with horizontal lines on MacBook Pro

Hello all.
I have an early 2006 MPB and recently (December '11), the display suddenly turned to a pink and black blocky pattern. Everytthing froze and a series of horizontal lines appeared next to the cursor. After resetting the PRAM to no avail, I did a clean install of snow leopard. Everything was then fine until now, a week later, it's happened again. Any ideas? I have photos of what it looks like but can't see anywhere I can post

Here's what it's looking like

Yes, I'm suspecting it might be something like that.

Display of horizontal lines

My MBP has only been 14 months, and the display already started to have problems.
There was this thin 2-3 pixels horizontal line appear on the displayed middle of this month (NOV 2010). It was gone after I reboot the machine.
Today is the 2nd time the line appeared, but this time there were 2!! 1 in the center of the screen, stretched from almost left of the screen to the right edge of the screen. Another line at the bottom of the screen, stretched from the center to the right edge of the screen.
I got really worried. Anyone can please kindly advice? Your kind attention is very much appreciated.

Bummer!
Apple and other computer makers buy components from a number of venders--so the display panel itself (less the housing) could well be used in a number of different computers. So this sort of problem could potentially happen with any of them. It's just your misfortune that you got a display that developed a problem.
My own experience has been that Macs have been very durable. I have a 1992 PowerBook 145B and a 1998 PowerBook G3 that both work perfectly, even though the software they run is hopelessly outdated. I also have a PowerMac G4 from 2002 that is running Leopard and is still in use. My 3 year old Santa Rosa MBP is still working without issue, although I did need to replace the battery and hard drive. Ditto with my 2004 iBook G4, and my 2006 PowerBook G4 is running perfectly with its original hard drive and battery.
A pity this problem did not occur before your warranty ran out. Does touching the line of pixels do any good? I have read that sometimes this will get them unstuck.
Not sure what your options would be in Malaysia--it may be best just to live with it, at least as long as it doesn't get worse. My guess is that you would be looking at replacing the display, although you would have to have Apple or an AASP evaluate it to be sure.
Good luck!

Display with horizontal lines on half of the monitor

Hi,
Anyone knows what the issue might be with this laptop monitor?
It shows very fine horizontal lines but only on right half of the display.

Probably a GPU issue. Make an appointment at an Apple store genius bar for a definitive analysis. There will be no software solution for this hardware problem.
Ciao

Display the horizontal lines whether or not a section is empty.

I am using CR with vb.net 2010 and latest version of CR for net 2010. I want to print a report like a grid which means horizontal and vertical lines appearing whether or not there is text in a section.
I have a box surrounding the report and vertical lines extending down the report. There are two group headers and a details section.    The horizontal lines only appear when there are values in the group or details sections. Thus, once the detail lines end (and therefore there are no more groups either) on a page, the horizontal lines stop though the vertical ones continue. I want the horizontal lines in the sections to continue as well -- just like in Excel.
There is a page break for the top group so there are lots of pages that have detail lines empty. How do I print horizontal lines in those sections as well when there are no values.

hi Suzanne,
there are several different ways of doing this.
1) the easiest way of doing this is to create a new Page Header that contains all of the lines. this works if you've got a report that is static in way that each page is laid out. make the new page header the size of a page in length, move it up so that it is Page Header A, and go to the section expert and set it to Underlay Following Sections. now add the grid lines to this new page header A.
2) another way of doing this is to create a whole bunch of Details sections....e.g B to Z. put lines in these sections. write a conditional suppression formula for each one based on how many records there are in a group. this is way more work.
3) another fairly easy way is to create a formula that outputs the horizontal lines...i.e.
     numbervar N:= 10;
     // you'd need to figure out what N is based on the number of existing records and the number of lines you want
     replicatestring(replicatestring("_",300) + chr(10), N)
make sure that you right click on the formula and go to Format Field > Common tab, and set it to Can Grow.

Display draws horizontal lines

Hi!
My Ipod suddenly started to get display errors. At first there were just a few horizontal lines, but now the display is either clear white or only draws horizontal lines and it does not display anything right.
I tried to restore it and at first the display was ok, but after turning it off one time and turning it back on the display was corrupted again. I tried to reset it again, but it did not help anymore.
But i can't believe the display itself is broken, because the first time after the reset it was a perfectly clear image.
btw. This just had to happen shortly after the warranty period is over -_-

well, in my 1st gen iPod nano 1gb, it happened.
I went to the nearest apple retailer and the guy said:
"it's broken. You'd better get another one, cause this... Is gone."
"the fix going to be more expensive than buying another one"
So, forget it! Buy onther iPod or MP3

Apple 20" display vertical & horizontal lines on G4

I have just brought a 20" apple display, to connect to my G4(MDD), I connected it via the ADC (after checking on the Power Mac G4: Display compatibility from apple) and all I get on the screen are horizontal and vertical lines, I cannot even see the desktop. Why is this? and what is it caused by, is my only option to buy the DVI to ADC connector?
Thanks

I'm having the same problem. The computer is unusable, I can't see almost anything. The computer runs fine, its just that the display is all messed up.

F-44 not displaying all the line items.

Hi,
I am having some problem with Transaction code F-44. The problem is as follows -- I have posted a vendor invoice using FB60 the cleared it using FB05(POST WITH CLEARING). Now when i am going to F-44 to clear vendor items, then it is not displaying me the Original invoice. It is just displaying the clearing document which got generated using FB05.
Anybody suggest how to see all the document in F-44 as i have to clear the same.
Thanks and regards.

Hi,
If the invoice is fully cleared then F-44 should not display this invoice. If you partially clear the invoice use RESIDUAL method, then the system split the original invoice and show you the remaining part that was not cleared. You can see the original invoice always by sort and summarize by reference which usally served for keeping the vendor original invoice.
Hope this answer your question.
Regards,
Beny

Display: Gray horizontal line going through center of Menu Bar?

I have this strange grey line going through the center of the Menu Bar, al the way through, difficulting the reading of the symbols! Please advise. Thanks, Diego
Powerbook G4 1.67 High Mac OS X (10.4.5)

When I first saw that line on my original 20" iMac I thought it was another artifact of the screen controller on that machine that had a lot of problems (need to get it fixed now that I have my PB to fill in. However, I then saw the same line on my wife's 12" PB and now on my new 15". If you are seeing the same as I am (faint grey line dead center of the menu bar) then I think it is just part of the 3D effect in OSX.

Horizontal lines on external display

I have just received a refurbished mac mini (previous generation) purchased from Apple. When attached to my monitor, an LG Flatron L204WT, it displays thin horizontal lines which run the width of the display. They are present across the entire display. The lines are most noticeable on a solid grey colour. They are not visible in a gradient, such as the drop shadows around windows. They look similar to horizontal scan lines on a CRT television.
I use the same monitor as an external display for my macbook; it doesn't have this problem.
Has anyone else had this issue? I realize I can take it to Apple for repair, but I would hate to find out this is a chronic problem. Coupled with the annoying chirping noise the mini is making, this is a bit of a let down... I'm considering returning it. Anyone had wither of these issues with the redesigned mac mini?
Thanks!

Calibrated the monitor using "expert mode"... problem solved!

Horizontal Lines Across Display

Hello Everyone. I just recently purchased an iPod Nano 8GB Green Engraved and I love it. The only thing that bothers me is that when the brightness level is at 45% and up the display has Horizontal lines dancing across the display. It does NOT hinder the viewing of the iPod and I am extremely sensitive so many people might probably notice it. I am wondering if anybody else experiences this issue and if this is left alone, will there be any future problems with it? I don't want to replace it as it was engraved. Thank You very much for your help!
-superhamster

Hello Deggie. Thank You very much for the help. I think I will just leave it alone, because as I said it does not hinder the use of the product and also I am very sensitive to things like that, so I am probably one of the very few who would notice it.
Thank You Deggie
Everyone Else: If you want to say anything about this issue, the mic is yours!

Frozen Itouch with multi-coloured horizontal lines

On 1st January 2012 since 3am Sydney Australia time the Itouch now shows 1 cm of pixel thin - multi-coloured horizonal lines. Pressing the sleep and menu buttons for 30 seconds does not power the Itouch off.
I had recently upgraded the itouch purchased 1 year ago to ios 5.01 - is it related to the upgrade?
Is it related to the date?
Please help....what can I do....all I can think of is to let the battery run flat...

Thanks IIIaass I really appreciate your reply.
When I followed your instructions. After connecting the Ipod to its syncing computer it did not see it....and I also could not put it in recovery mode - by holding the two buttons at the same time.
...after about an hour of displaying the horizontal lines the battery went flat and the screen turned off and finally showed somed something different - the battery symbol.
I then put it on the ipod dock and it now works properly.
Thanks so much for your help.
In summary if anyone notices:
that the reset buttons don't work, just let the battery run flat (rather than put the ipod on its charging dock)
....and stop playing with the ipod when it warns you the battery is low

Horizontal line macbook air

Have a Good day.
Is terrible that apple sells defective equipment, i bought a macbook air in apple store miami, the machine now is displaying a horizontal line in the monitor, i called to apple , the support told me thati it is normal, and that they cant do anything because the warranty was expired.
in some articles i read that apple had a problem with aorund 700.000 of units of macs including macbook air 11,1 ,13 in and 15 inch.
Jesus Antonio.

"Normal"?
Can't reply much to what you said without more detail. You don't even say how old it is. There must have been something more to this story for the term, "normal" to be applied here.
Or instead did the representative say something that it was not "extraordinary" for a component(display) to fail after xx years?
But yes, it is unfortunate that any component, designed and built by humans are subject to imperfection. But Apple does have a warranty, and a way to extend that warranty for as much as 3 years. At that point, not even Apple will extend it further. That should be indicator enough that component life is finite, and somehat expectant for failure after a time. We all hope though that it is something inexpensive before we decide to retire the old hardware. But alas, it isn't always the case.
Did/do you have Applecare?
