Display problem - horizontal stripes appear sometimes

I've got display problem. Horizontal stripes appear sometimes (randomly?) on movies or just desktop and stop when I change screen resolution to other and switch back to 1080p. It only happens with my iiyama xb2472hd via hdmi. Everything is fine using Windows. I've tried other monitor via hdmi and the problem doesn't occur.
Any ideas how to find source of problem?
Here is video:

My hardware:
Iiyama XB2472HD + Lenovo y580 which is using Intel HD Graphics 4000 as display device

After months of having this problem I realized that it occurs only with that monitor (Iiyama XB2472HD but probably others too) when I turn it off and than on (after some time) while Arch is still running...
Common situation: I lock the screen in KDE than turn off the display using capacitive button on the device. When I come back after few hours and turn it on the stripes appear. Switching to other screen resolution for a while makes it fix.
Could it be some synchronization problem or something like that?
Have someone any idea how to debug it ?
I believe that someone (kernel developers or Iiyama) made some bad assumptions while implementing HDMI standard...

Satelite Pro A300-28R - Display shows horizontal stripes

My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 sometimes displays horizontal stripes which effectively makes the text and images unreadable before laptop crushes and I have to reboot. Usually happens when I am on the internet. Does any one know why this happens and how to solve it?
I once telephoned Toshiba UK Technical Support and a rather impatient adviser said it was a static discharge problem but why does it not happen with my Pavilion laptop?
My Toshiba Satellite Pro A300 is less than a year old yet the above problem has occured on numerous occasions. I have also had to replace the power adaptor already due to the cable being too stiff at the cylindrical piece next to the jack. Does any know of a production issue with this series of laptops?

Such display symptoms can be related either to a display, graphic card driver or the graphic card chip.
First of all you should try to update the graphic card driver and should check this again.
Secondly if this issue would appear then you should connect an external monitor to the notebook in order to check if the same would be visible on external screen.
If yes, then the issue might be related to the graphic chip.
This would be the worst case because an graphic chip cannot be replaced but the whole mobo has to be replaced in order to solve such problem.

Small horizontal stripes on the display during turning it off on iPhone 3G

I have used the iPhone 3G for two months now and today I have just noticed a quite strange problem on the display.
If I turn the iPhone on there are no anomalities everything works great but if I turn it in Standby-Mode there are always some black horizontal stripes appearing in the near of the middle of the screen..
They appear and disappear really quickly and they are looking like the barcodes but in the horizontal direction and always on the same place.
Sometimes I can not see them but more often I do.
Everything like Video or other functions of the phone are working really great but does anyone know if this behaviour of the display could be seen as normal because I hardly notice those stripes if the room in which I use the phone is dark...

Error 9 is usually a security software issue.

Horizontal stripe in the middle of my Powerbook 17'' screen

Hello to you all, Powerbook users with vertical stripes on the screen!
A few weeks ago, a horizontal stripe appeared on the screen of my 2 years old Powerbook17".
Almost useless to mention that the serial number begins mit W85... With a slight pressure of my thumb on the left side of the screen, the stripe disappeared but after a couple of days it appeared again and now persists. Until now I never had problems with LCD on Mac ( not even with my first LCD screen connected to a Powermac G3 ) and I'm ( still ) a convinced Apple fan, lucky ( well, almost ) owner of three Macs. I wonder why a serious company like Apple take so few care of its customers, when the problem is evidently caused by fake manufacturing.
Has anybody already tried to call the customer service in the USA?
Why don't local stores offer assistance for their customers?
I'm really disappointed. Best regards Acanto
Powerbook G4 Mac OS X (10.4.10)

Just a 'misery loves company' reply. I bought two 17" PB back in Mar '06 after our house was robbed and our laptops stolen. One for me. One for my son. Mine just had the inverter replaced because the screen went dark. OK. I've had Macs since the Mac 512k + and never had one problem. Annoying, but not a bad track record.
Now, this week, my son's PB is starting the line in the display. Does this scream "There's an issue here!"? I shelled out $322.60 for mine, but am loathe to do the same for the second.
BTW, the service at the Apple Store was superb and the turn-a-round time for the repair outstanding. I think Apple should pay for my second one, though.

Why does iPhoto slide show show only horizontal stripes?

Hi,
Suddenly my iPhoto ’08 no longer works. Everything shows up fine in Preview, but when I start the actual slide show only horizontal stripes appear...
What can I do?
Thanks,
Klaus

Klaus:
Try the following: delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your User/Library/Preferences folder. If that doesn't fix the problem rebuild the library by launching iPhoto with the Command+Option keys depressed and following the instructions to rebuild the library. Select the first three options.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.≤br>
Note: There now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

Spry horizontal menu display problems

I have two display problems with a horizontal spry menu bar
that I added in Dreamweaver CS3:
(1) In Firefox, it displays underneath a flash movie. I've
tried fiddling with the z-indexes and still can't get it to display
right. I embed the flash movie using SWFObject.
(2) In IE, the submenus display very in a broken way
sometimes and sometimes they don't. I don't know how else to
explain it.
You can see then menu here:
http://www.davisbrotherscabinetmakers.com/dbmc/
And here is a link to my SpryAssets stylesheet, which I may
have ruined beyond repair!
http://www.davisbrotherscabinetmakers.com/dbmc/SpryAssets/SpryMenuBarHorizontal.css
Any help would really be appreciated! Thanks.

I am not the world's best coder and I have spent forever
trying to
learn and figure out some problems on a menu bar i have
created using
the base dreamweaver spry framework. It looks exactly like
what i want
it to look like on Firefox, Safari, and Google Chrome,
but--of
course--- Internet Explorer is creating massive dificiulties.
Namely,
the drop down menu is completely non-existent. I tried
changing the IE
hack to float right, rather than float left and then the menu
appeared
but with all the subsequent boxes lined up in a row. Here are
my
links, can anyone help me?

Horizontal stripes flickering all over the display?

Dear Apple Users,
I have a macbook pro 15 late 2008 unibody.
I have two videocards in it 9400 and the 9600.
I do have screen problems there are horizontal stripes flickering all over the screen.
They do get more visible when i have dark background.
These stripes arent even staying for a second they come and go and are hardly visible.
I do have apple care i just brought my macbook to apple they have replaced the display (im very thankfull)
But the problem still not solved it is conned to a apple cinema display 30 and now the stripes are also visible on my cinema display.
Is anyone familair with this problem? Could it be my videocard? Or something else?
Kind Regards,
OG

I doubt that you have a software 'bug' - looks more as if you're having a problem either with the GPU, the screen or the connection between the two.
Since you're still under warranty, I would advise that you take your machine to your local Apple Store or an AASP and have them diagnose and fix the problem. I don't believe that it's anything that can be remedied via software.
Sorry,
Clinton

Is someone with iMac 2010 users have problems with the monitor. I mean horizontal stripes and dark screen ?

Mine's a late '09, but there have been display issues with iMacs.
Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

Mac Pro Freezes and horizontal artifacts appear on Display

My Mac Pro display began glitching while using After effects yesterday. The display colors became very strange and horizontal artifacts appeared. Everything froze and I couldn't force quit. After a minute the problem cleared up and all was well.Then today the glitches got more frequent and the whole machine froze up showing the same, but random horizontal artifacts along with strange colors. I can't move the mouse or force close programs. I've had to power off the machine by holding the power button down. I did that twice today and both times the computer started normally and then the problem came back a minute after start up. The mouse and keyboard also started losing power yesterday and today. A quick unplug and plug in fixed that problem. I have been using After effects 8 hours a day for about 4 weeks straight Perhaps that but some strain on the graphics card. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Here's a link to a picture of what the display looks like:
http://s1254.photobucket.com/user/timfoxweddings/media/photo_zps70928015.jpg.htm l

Those sorts of artifacts are unlikley to be a software or configuration problem.
The Apple firmware 5770 (about US$250) works in every model Mac Pro (65lb tower), but may have minor problems if you play copy-protected movies. It requires 10.6.5 or later, so you would have to upgrade if you are still on 10.5.8.
You lose AppleTalk-over-Ethernet in the 10.5 to 10.6 transition, if that is an issue for you.

Horizontal Lines appear in random spots on display

Hey everyone.
Recently, my white iMac has been locking up a lot lately (forcing me to hard-reset, boo) and horizontal lines have been appearing. It freezes most often during more graphically-intense applications like games and Pro Tools. It's not the regular Mac freeze, where the grey dialogue box politely and multi-ligual-ly informs you that you need to reset. When my computer freezes, things just lock up, or the screen will go black.
I thought since I had not done a whole lot of computer maintenance since I bought it, there was a possibility it was just a horrible software glitch.
So I zero'd my hard drive and reformatted. Almost immediately the lines returned. Interestingly enough, I don't need a digital camera because these awful lines can get captured by screenshots.
The lines are typically pinkish or black, but if you look close, the individual pixels in the lines seem to be coloured arbitrarily. If the lines appear on a window, I can drag it around and the lines will follow. If I resize the window, the lines disappear.
Here's a screenshot. Note how the lines only affect the one window, and do not span the entire screen.
http://img161.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=29918lines_122708lo.jpg
These lines aren't bound to a particular window, just the desktop as a whole.
http://img142.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=45631lines2_1221119lo.jpg
How are these things getting captured on screenshot if I just reformatted my computer?
If it's not a software error, could a worn-out graphics card produce odd artifacts that are screen-capture-able? Apple ships hardware that can't last 2 years? Am I going to get shafted if I try to call them? Is there possibly a fix for this?
Thank you everyone for taking the time to read my post, and thanks in advance if you have some advice or want to express that you share the same issues.

Just to add a few comments to this thread, I had similar problems (green dots appearing at random locations on the display, lines, then corrupted icons graphics / text, and eventually computer lock-ups that required a power/hard reset).
It took me weeks to realize that heat was the root cause of these display artifacts / computer lock-ups. I had run zillions of memory tests, ran the Apple Diagnostic so many times, tried TechTool Pro, and I never ever got reported with a single error by any of these tools. I swapped RAM, disconnected all external Firewire / USB devices, tried different versions of Tiger / Leopard, to eventually conclude it had to be something else...
... and then it struck me one evening this week. I realized that I was now using my Mac Mini to transcode video (a task that I used to perform with my iMac, but that I stopped to use as a transcoding device as this would eventually lead to the symptoms described above), and that the Mac Mini's fan would increase in speed when the CPU would get loaded. It is then that I realized that I had never heard my iMac's fan change in pitch... with the exception of when I was running the Apple Diagnostic tool !!!
Gotcha !
I also downloaded the latest version of smcFanControl, and changing the fan settings to 1200 (ODD), 2200 (HDD), 2000 (CPU) fixed all the symptoms.
I submitted a bug report to Apple about this, as I consider this is a major issue. I have seen the temperature of the power supply reach 80+ Celsius. Water boils at 100 Celsius. That is hot, way too hot.
I hope Apple will fix this issue ASAP through a SMC firmware update as fans control is meant to be automated.
Just my 0.02$CAD.

After Firefox 12, some fields in forms in our help desk application do not display correctly. They appear as horizontal scroll fields instead.

We use a Help Desk system at work (BMC Remedy IT Service Management). In version 12 of Firefox, all fields are displayed correctly in the form. However, if I upgrade to any version greater than 12, some of the fields display as horizontal scroll fields (without showing the data in them). As such, I am forced to stay on version 12 for work.

Found this is actually a problem with the BMC Remedy system in use (version 7.1). Here are details if anyone is interested: https://communities.bmc.com/communities/message/256456

You will need to go to a European Union country and take it to an Apple Store to get it fixed.
