Flickering white bars across screen

my friend's daughter's 4th generation touch went from operating normally to racing/static like white bars across the screen.
touch pad still responded - we tried to restart as well as restore to factory setting with no improvement
now when trying to start up from restore screen freezes, with white bars, on location enable question.
please help

When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod fails to solve the problem thne you likely ahve an hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order or acll AppleCare if under warranty.

Why are there white bars across the top of my iPhone 5 screen?

I have a brand new iphone 5 (not 5S) which has white bars across the top of the screen. The bars are quite faint at first, if the screen has been locked for a while but they get brighter while you use the phone. The bars overlap and obscure the time and battery symbols but you can still see through them with effort. I have tried turning it off and on again but this has not helped. It may have happened after the phone was updated to the latest version (iOS 7.1.2). this was required so I could transfer my old phone's information from a backup. Has anyone experienced this issue or know the cause of it?

Hi Ererer, I am sorry to hear that you are having that problem with characters showing up at the top of your screen. I had a similar problem so I understand how frustrating it can be. This problem has been linked to some antivirus software. Could you tell me what kind you use? I have also found an easy solution to this. When they appear simply drag the window from its maximized state down. It will no longer take up the full screen and the characters will be gone and everything will be back to normal. If you want it maximized again simply drag it back. I hope this helps.

White bar across iPhone 4 locked out after iOS7 update...Help

I did the iOS7 udpate this morning and now I have a white bar across my iPhone 4 screen and locked out. I am only able to answer incoming calls at this point. I tried restoring from backup but it needs me to turn off the locate phone option from the phone - can't because I'm locked out by white bar. The off button on the top of the phone hasn't worked for nearly a year to try to reset it that way. Any other ideas out there?

White bar across video capture

After extensive searching across this most amazing forum (I'm bookmarking this and I'll be back (with austrian accent)) I found something close to my problem.
After updating my system with all the latest drivers I still have a problem with video capture from my camcorder. I can get the capture to work fine but it shows a horizontal white bar across the replay. I thought it might have been some kind of censor algorithm as it was of a naughty video of my wife and I but after tryin 8 different capture programs and installing and reinstalling trying other very tame family videos the white bar would appear and disappear randomly no matter what I captured.
In a post from Ayrsayle at the end of which he said
"One last hint: The 1.12 drivers and up have Macrovision built in so if you copy commercial tapes or DVDs you'll get a white bar across the image. It can be fixed this way:
Get a copy of the 1.08 drivers (you can web search for them). Extract 1.08 drivers to a new folder, and replace Nvcap.sys and Nvcap.inf *only* in the Windows directories(do file find on C:/windows to locate them) with the 1.08 versions. Reboot. Problem solved. I just found this tonight.
I hope some of this helps, I've had to tear my hair out as well over the past month upon getting this card! "
Well my problem is it's not a commercial video I'm capturing (Well at least not yet!).
My other problem is I'm having trouble locating the past drivers.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks
James :(

:O X( I'm trying to capture my home videos off of my sharp hi8 video camera.
I'd like to know how the F*&$%ers at Macrovision found a way to copyright my family reuion!
If I ever meet one of them I'm going to tear him a new a**hole
and the other thing is why do I have to spend over a week trying to find what the problem was and now spend more money (of course what the f*@% was I thinking) to fix something that shouldnt even be there.
I'm going to leave a message with MSI and if I don't have an answer by tomorrow evening when I log on again, someone is going to get a video card inserted in a slot they never expected
By the way. I did a search of this forum and other than going back to an old driver(which i spent the last 3 hours of my life that I'll never get back) which didn't work NO ONE HAS SATISFACTORILY ANSWERED THIS QUESTION!
What happened to the other guys did they give up?

IMac Display -- White band across screen

I recently noticed a white band across the top half of my screen. The line is about 3-5 tall and runs the entire width of the screen. This is incredibly annoying. The so-called Genius at the Apple store said I would have to pay about $800 to replace the display, which is ridiculous. It is time that Apple match product quality with design quality or fix these problems.

I have the same issue.. although it isn't terribly noticeable yet... It has crept up using this computer for a month. The computer has only been in use for 1-1/2 months. I have multiple band running width wise down the entire screen.

Albook G4 Display Has White Bar Bottom Screen

Hello all:
My Albook G4 display has a white bar on the bottom third of the screen. Last year I followed these steps to fix tighten the hinges: http://macintoshhowto.com/hardware/how-to-fix-a-loose-hinge-on-an-aluminium-powe rbook.html
and I'm guessing I may have damaged, loosend or otherwise screwed up the connections. Any suggestions? TIA!

Thanks for your reply. Not quite sure when the issue started (my daughter's machine) but I think its been progressing for several months.
Before your reply, I was thinking hardware (monitor cable) but at your suggestion I ran TechTools - no issues. I also checked and repaired permissions, ran the fsck -fy in single user mode, and changed the desktop picture and screen saver options. It seemed to have cleared up, but when I adjust the screen position (open or close) the same area briefly acts up. I still think it may be a connector or cable issue, but there obviously was some sort of software issues too, so thanks for your suggestion. Is there a tutorial on how to check the screen connections that you would recommend? Thanks again!

Large grey bar across screen on custom *.desktop session

hi all,
as a bit of experimentation i set a custom session that starts no window manager, but just launches Chromium-browser.
it worked fine (and blindingly fast too) but for some reason there is a thick (60-80 pixel high) default-grey bar across the bottom of the screen.
anyone know why?

In short, there isn't. Not without a window manager.
An X server does not have a concept of "maximized" window, it only cares about rendering it's content [usually] in a box with externally specified geometry. That geometry is passed to the X server by the application itself or by other means, like window manager.
You may try to run Chromium with the --geometry=XxY+0+0 parameter if Chromium supports it. Or you can look for some other ways to set an X window geometry. I'd say the easiest way would be using a window manager. I guess you'd like to go for something minimal, like twm or matchbox.

HELP! My ipad2 won't turn on, is flickering white on its screen?

I'm so scared! My ipad 2, which I've had over a year, has always worked fine. I haven't dropped it, but when I took it out of my backpack today it wouldn't turn on and there is a flickering white screen that goes over half of it, while the other half is black. That is the only response it gives when I try to turn it off or on. Please help me! The warranty is expired, I am a poor college student and I have no idea what happened! Please tell me there's a way to fix this!

Reset iPad
Hold down the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears
Note: Data will not be affected.

Thin vertical white lines across screen

I've got what looks like white vertical pinstripes (alternating 1 and then 2 together) across my screen. What does this indicate? The stripes are white, and do not show up on a white background.

Make a free appointment at the Apple Genius Bar.

2 Vertical Black Bars Across Screen...

Anyone know about or experienced vertical black bars (2) across the monitor after returning from sleep or standby mode?
I'm just worried my computer will crap out on me when it's most inconvenient so I'm trying to guage what computer problems/elderly computer symptoms I'll be dealing with in it's decline. It's only from 2009, but it's heavily used and has lots of graphic design and media software on it.
Note: The SD card recently stopped working, and the Genius bar determined it was a mechanical failure. Also, the CD burn hasn't been working for a while.
Using a Macbook pro os x, leopard, purchased 2009.

It only happens for a split second, and before/while the computer is waking up so when I try to take a screen shot, it doesn't work because it's not fully on yet. However, I will take a pic with some other device so I do have a picture of it. And I FOR SURE have all my data backed up plus on a flash.
Thanks for the advice.

White boxes across screen affecting touch sensitivity

My iPhone 5 unfortunately has been diagnosed with an internal hardware issue that causes a horizontal pattern of white boxes to be displayed across my screen. The touch sensiviity is also affected where the white boxes are displayed, so I am unable to select text, or turn certain things On and Off within my settings if the button is located on the white boxes. My problem is location services was turned off before this problem began, and now because of the touch screen problem I am unable to turn it back on since the button is displayed where the white boxes are. Is there ANY other way to enable location services without going through settings on the phone, or restoring the phone and setting it up as new. Any help would be appreciated.

Replacing it would be ideal, and an obvious solution to solving my problem here. Unfortunately I'm poor, and I can't afford to buy a new phone seing as my apple warranty has expired...which is why I am here looking for a roundabout way to keep my phone somewhat functional until I can buy a replacement or upgrade it. You're right in that there is no way (that we know of) to turn on location services without selecting it on the screen within the settings. You're wrong in that there is no way to get around the problem, because I just did. Using the zoom funtion I was able to change the placement of the button slightly, which allowed me to turn location services back on. This works for any button I was previously unable to get to within all settings or apps. Thanks for your response though.
