Display issue - horizontal white lines and vertical multicoloured lines.... UNRELATED: constant "update available" icon?

Hi, my Curve 9300 on the OS 6.0 system has vertical and horizontal lines accross the display, with more appearing every day...   started and the top and left areas of the screen and seem to be slowly migrating & multiplying.
I tried first turning the phone off and back on again. Then the battery pull reset. Now I've tried downloading the OS update direct from the blackberry site and reloading it....   all to no avail.
Everything is functional, but lines accross the screen are constant. Since my phone is past warranty anyway, I would like to open it and check the screen connection, but I do not have a torx driver that small to fit the little screw in the back.... Is there anything else I can try, or an easy enough way to remove that screw without having to buy a stupid screwdriver that I will likely never use again...?
One other thing I've been meaning to find out about...   Despite attempting to update multiple times through the Blackberry Desktop Software, and even now after downloading the update direct from the Blackberry site, my phone continues to display the "update available" icon (with the star in a red circle on a BB outline), and indicates an update required for BB OS 6, yet the desktop software says "no updates available" and I couldn't find anything more recent on the Blackberry site unless there is a way to put OS 7 on the older blackberries. Why might this be happening and have I missed something?
Thank you!

In terms of heat I'm not sure.
It isn't only one spot that you can push to get it to come back. I have to manipulate the screen carefully in a number of different combinations. Also if the screen brightness is down the and screen fully open with an external monitor on the screen can sometimes clear up even after 4 hours plus of use. If I then move the screen up it will take a few minutes to go bad again. Even if the brightness is left down.
I actually have a spare screen from an old 400mhz model which is identical brand. Its just not in as good condition and has to bright spots in the corners and one dull area middle bottom. Its just not in as good nic as the current one when its working. Is there a way to 'tighten' the LCD in case its a pressure problem or is still a heat issue?
Many Thanks, Tre.

White screen and virtical blue lines

I was playing Skyrim in bootcamp when my computer stopped working, I saw a brief error message which I didn't get a chance to read then the computer turned its self off. Every time I try to restart the computer I get a white screen with vertical blue lines, then after a minute it goes grey. I have followed advise given to others with similar problems. Diagnostics does nothing, I've only managed to successfully run in safe mode once, but it will not run again. the only thing I am able to do is select the start up drive at the beginning using the option key but that's as far as I can get.
running an imac 27" late 2009 upgraded to maverics. boot camp is windows 7.

Hey db8179,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.

IMac 21.5" boots to white screen with vertical blue lines/bars then locks up

iMac 21.5" (mid 2010) Intel Core i3 4GB RAM with Radeon HD 4670 boots to white screen with vertical blue lines/bars:
Then it locks up after a few minutes, at which point the screen changes to white with these blue symbol things all over the screen:
If boot to Safe Mode, it still has the white screen with blue lines/bars, but eventually loads the login screen and I can successfully login and get to the desktop, but even that has the bars/lines.
Eventually, after enough restarts or hard shutdowns it will boot normally with no video/display issues. I've run disk checks, did the SMC and PRAM resets, checked logs (that I know of), and have even taken it completely apart, cleaned it out, reseated everything, put it all back together, but no change. I've read a few other posts about similar issues (but not quite the same video issue as this) where people had the logic boars replaced or reinstalled OSX, but that didn't always fix it. Any ideas? Has anyone seen this issue before? Thank you.

Is this a dead disk?
Very well could be.
If you can not startup from the Hardware Test, in Safe Mode or from > OS X Recovery as discribed in the Support article's.
Dig out the original Install Disc set that came with the iMac and do one of the following.
1. Attempt to Repair the Hard Drive.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
Select your Mac OS X volume.
Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
2. Run the Hardware Test from the second Install Disc.
1. Insert Disc 2 and Startup holding the D key.
2. Select the Extended Hardware Test.
Then if you still can not get anything going, you need to contact your Local Apple Store or AASP and make a Service appointment.

Move Order lines and Delivery Detail lines - Relationship

Hi All,
Is there a one - to - one realtionship between Move Order Line and Delivery Detail Line?
i.e., Each Move Order line will correspond to only one Delivery Details line Record?
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
There is a one - to - many relationship between Move Order Line and Delivery Detail Line when you split lines in delivery.

Reading a text file line by line and splitting each line into an array

I have a text file that I want to read in line by line and within each line, I want to do some processing. I have a file like the following:
apples||oranges||bananas||grapes
cars||trucks||planes||boats
And I want to end up with an array such that
First...
item(0) = apples
item(1) = oranges
item(2) = bananas
item(3) = grapes
Then move onto the next line with item getting cleared each time. Can anyone offer any ideas on how do to this? I am unclear on reading line by line and then also splitting into an array as I am new to this.
Thanks.

For reading a text file in line by line, you want to use a FileReader (java.io.FileReader)
If you wrap it in a Buffered reader, you can call readLine() and get the file one line at a time.
File file = new File("C:\myFile.txt");
BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(file));
String s = in.readLine();
while (s != null){
// string handling here
s = in.readLine();
}For the second part, you probably want to look at the method String.split() which should split your string up into an array for you. Check out the API for java.lang.String

My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no update available. Yet I see that IOS 5 is out.. Why is it that my Ipod says no update is available or that my Ipod is up to date?

My Ipod Touch has Software Version 4.2.1 and says that there is no Update available. Yet I see that IOS 5.0 is out. Why does my Ipod say that there is no update available and my Ipod is up to date yet there is newer software available?

Because you have an older model that is not upgradable to iOS 5.x.

IPhone got horizontal And vertical gray lines

Hello guys i have a issue with my iphone i see horzizontal and vertical lines, i sended to apple (ups) and they could not duplicate issue now is my question shall i send it again to them with a better explanation?
Kind regardz,
Assaasaaa

That is really bad.
I have tried restoring it / updating the firmware - nothing helps.
I am pretty sure it is a hardware issue since I've seen similar issues with other devices - its the LCD that is at fault here and that needs to be replaced.
I read it in some forum here that it would go away with 24 hours of use - tried that - but no effect, with a full charge then drain and charge again - nothing.
So, I'll be sending it off to the dealer - who too thinks it needs repair / replacement.
Will let you know what happens in the next few days.

Contact Sheets/Sort - group horizontal shots together and vertical shots together

I've never liked having a mix of horizontal and vertical shots when I print contact sheets. It just doesn't look very clean. I'd love to see a new feature whereby you can sort your photos based on orientation so that they're arranged more neatly when contact sheets are produced.

DISREGARD!!! Duh. I see now that Aspect Ratio does that...somehow never noticed that before...

Issues with White Balance and other camera setting...

I have found a glitch with the camera on the Lumia 800: When you try to change a different white balance setting- (try it with incandescent so you can see the difference) as well as changing the scene (ie to portrait mode) it will flip back to auto white balance, although it will say that it is still incandescent. If you change the scene first and then the white balance and save those settings, it will take one picture like that and then revert back to auto white balance again for the next shot, but again it will tell you that it is still incandescent. (You can clearly see the white balance difference between the 2 shots, even though the camera settings say they should be the same). The whole point of saving settings is so that you can take multple shots with the same settings. I have spent hours on the phone to Nokia trying to explain this to them and they have assured me that it will be fixed in the next update. I took the phone back to the Orange shop and we tried 3 different handsets and they all had the same problem.
I also have the same problem with video autofocus that lots of people have mentioned. Has anyone found a solution yet? The main reason I got this phone (only last week) was for the camera so I am diappointed. I am a photographer so I am really fussy about cameras! They have said in the Orange shop that I can change the Lumia for another phone, such as a Galaxy S2, which is also an awesome phone. The thing is, I really love the Lumia otherwise. I really like the fact that I don't have an iPhone anymore, for a start!!
Does anyone think the network you are on makes a difference? It's just that several people have suggested that there could be a conflict with the Orange software and the Nokia/Windows software. Does anyone else have this problem who is not with Orange?

Thanks for all of your valuable suggestions.
The problem was compounded when there were drastic shifts in the levels of ambient light also occuring at the same time.
Happy Holidays to everyone.

I received a pop-up advising me that update OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download, but it was fouled by something; it did not download/install. Now I ask for software updates and they tell me "no software updates available." Help.

I received a pop-up telling me that OSX 10.8.3 was available. I started the download/ installation, but something interrupted the process and it was not downloaded and/or installed. Now when I ask for software updates, I det the message that "no updates available." What do I do to get thei update?

If the installation didn't finish, maybe OS X 10.8.3 was installed partially, and it doesn't show up because the updater already updated the OS X version to 10.8.3, although it doesn't mean that everything was installed and updated. Just to make sure that everything is updated to the version included in 10.8.3, reinstall it with the Combo installer > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1640

Herringbone lines, and vertical and horizontal lines on display which dims

I have an iMac G5 purchased in 2005, six months later under the extension program for the video and power issues, Apple installed a new motherboard and a new power pack. Up to now, everything has been okay.
This morning I turned on my computer and saw the same herringbone lines, vertical lines, horizontal lines on the display which went from dark to light in color. I waited for a while, and a message said to restart my computer which I did.
Because of the previous problems, I am wondering if the motherboard or power pack is going out again. After the start up, my computer was okay for the rest of the day. I took some photos and a video of it to show what is happening to the display, any suggestions.

Thanks Scott for the quick reply. Knowing what happened five years ago with the display, I figured that this was the same issue. It is just a matter of time. I quickly backed up my system to another hard drive and wanted to confirm in the discussion group that my G5 was on it's last gasp.
Since I would be lost without my computer, I just put in an order for the new iMac 27" quad core i5 computer. Now I will have to make monthly payments again, but I think that I will have a much faster, and better computer especially with the Intel processor.
Thanks for your reply, and I hope that my new computer will last longer than five years. My track record was five years for my lime green iMac G3, and now five years for my iMac G5.
Thanks again,
DaisyMay

Frozen white screen and vertical stripes on boot

my early 2011 17" MBP lcd has vertical stripes and gets frozen white screen on boot. Is there any fix to this?

It sounds like it could be a display or a display connection fault. An appointment at an Apple store genius bar should be made. The evaluation will be for FREE.
Ciao.

Video display issues with Mac Pro and GeForce 7300?

I'm just wondering whether anyone else has experienced any video strangeness with their Mac Pros with GeForce 7300 cards? Basically, twice now I've had the mouse cursor stop responding and the entire screen turn black, then a second later everything's back to normal (with the cursor moving and the display back). I seem to recall a similar issue on my Windows PC with a Quadro FX 1100 card, so I'm hoping it's just a video driver issue.

I am not sure if its the monitor, the MP, or the video card, but, I have had my computer completely replaced after reporting to my local Apple Store about my G5 fans over heating and my monitor either not being able to wake or refusing to sleep. I called AppleCare and did all the normal trouble shooting but they said take it in to store. But now that I have a brand new MP 3.0 I am getting the same issue but no fan noise. I have a 23Cinima HD (the strore said it was fine when they had both my computer and monitor in) but last night after hours of inactivity the monitor had the screen saver on but didn't got to sleep. I then put in to sleep but when I got up this morning I couldn't wake it up. When I got my new computer (3 days ago) I didn't migraite any of my old stuff. I have been slowly reinstalling all my software and updated anything before I install anything else as an added attempt to not have any bad files. I have 2 gig of ram and 500 hd with the 7300 card. I am at a lost I checked and rechecked all my setting. The only other thing I have connected is my airport extreme base.
Any idea's anyone?
Ops one last issue, I have blown my apartment circut breaker three time while attempting to start the new PM and once it did it when I was trying to wake it just by tapping the space bar. Is it the computer being more power hunger?

Display issue with Combo Boxes and Logo

Hi All,
I am facing a couple of issues with my dashboard:
1. Combo boxes display - I have placed a series of combo boxes one below the other. During the preview, when I click on the first combo box, the values spread below. That is, the labels, and options of the next combo box are also visible. The options in the combo box are not seen clearly. I have tried many permutations and combinations with "Bring Forward +" and "Send Back -" but none of them seem to work. For example, keeping the first combo as bring forward and next one as send back etc. Can you please help me in this regard?
2. Logo - I have used image component and embedded a logo from my local system. Later I saved the xlf in the repository. When I import the xlf from the platform, it displays the logo fine. But however, this behavior is not constant. It sometimes doesn't show the image. Do I have to save the image also in the repository? or in a common shared folder? If I embed the logo does it not mean that the xlf hold the copy?
Any help in this regards is highly appreciated.
Thanks and regards,
Sandeep.

Hi:
For your question
1) Do you need your combox overlapped? I tried to overlap my comb box and preview it, seems works fine for me. it only chooses the first comb box. But I am suggesting that if you want to show/hide the different combox in the same position at run time, you can try to control the visibility by some other component.
2) The answer is NO, the image embedded in the image component will be saved to xlf file, there is no need to save it individually. Try to clean your cache files in your machine and do it again.
Hope it helps.

I just dropped my Ipone 5c on the concrete and now there is a thin white line and a thick line across lock screen and i cant open my phone. Help! is this fixable?

I just dropped my iPhone 5c and now there is a think and thick white line going down the lock screen. I am no longer able to get into my phone! Please help! is this fixable?

You will need to take it into your nearest Apple Store for screen replacement it the home button will not work. If at all possible, connect it to your PC and back it up first.
Cheers
