Grey Line...

What's up discussion people.
It's been a while.
So, for about two years now, my ipod touch (4g) has had this strange grey line
just a bit to the Left of the center of the screen. This isn't causing trouble at the
moment, but I would like to know if this is something serious just in case.
Also, just real quick, what's up with the ipod only being able to get music and apps
from one computer at a time?
Never done that before, and no I haven't updated the software or whatever since at
least last year.
Thanks guys,
Jimmay
P.S.
This line is vertical, and very thin. If you focus on it, it becomes very, very small grey
dots.

If it's been that way for two years, I doubt it's something serious. Without being able to see the iPod I'm just guessing, but it sounds like a hardware failure in the display that's caused that column of pixels to be inactive.
Also, just real quick, what's up with the ipod only being able to get music and apps from one computer at a time?
That has been the case with all iOS devices since they were first released. It's not something new. Some people have, I believe, been able to add content from more than one computer to an iPod by turning on manual management on the Summary tab for the iPod it in iTunes, but synching to multiple computers is not supported by Apple.

  • How can I get rid of these grey lines in the background of my pages documents?

    I bought an app out of the store that game me new templates to use in pages. I used one of the templates in making invitations for my little cousins birthday party but now there are these grey lines in the background that I cant get to go away. any suggestiions?
    thanks!

    "the store", "these grey lines"? You realise we can't see what you see. Could you describe the problem and the templates better? If you bought the templates from the MAS, which ones are they?
    Perhaps they are just locked objects.
    Can you click on them?
    Menu > Arrange > Unlock
    They may also be master objects:
    Menu > Format > Advanced > Make Master Objects selectable

  • My iPhone 3G (8G) has the White screen with Grey lines, how do I fix it?

    Hello!, am a new iphone user I bought an iPhone off my friend and put my sim card in the iPhone.
    I've had my iPhone for 2 months nearly, when I got the iPhone it was in Great condition still is...BUT... I have the 'white screen of death' but with grey lines down the screen, I thought it was only tempory because when I smacked the phone against something it would work again, but now the problem is Permanant!!
    I've been on youtube and typed in my problem and people have suggested:
    - Holding the home screen and lock at the same time (it did nothing)
    - Holding the home screen and lock and the up volume key (it did nothing)
    - Restoring and updating the phone (it just came up with errors 4,9 and 21)
    I really have no idea what to do, can I replace the whole screen? would that work?
    or am I utterly screwed?
    I really can't live with out having my iPhone! Help!

    sounds like your LCD is broken. Replacing it would fix your problem. If you're handy with mechanical things you can replace it yourself, there are plenty of video's online who show you how. Order the parts and do it yourself, or you can pay roughly $50-75 to have it replaced.

  • Brand new Ipod touch 2nd G has grey line near the bottom of the screen?

    Does anybody know why my ipod touch has a grey line just below the last line of apps? Should I take it in? What should I do? I have already restored it.

    How do I take it back? I bought it off amazon, will the apple store exchange it? Do I need to arrange somthing?

  • IPod Touch screen has gone white with grey lines

    I have had my iPod Touch for a year and a half, so unfortunately it is out of warranty. About two months ago it started behaving strangely. Every other time I turned it on there would be a white screen which after a few seconds would get slightly darker with vertical grey lines. The screen was still responsive, and you could hear clicking. Turning the iPod off and back on would resolve the problem and the screen would reappear with no problems at all.
    Unfortunately this got worse. Now I am unable to turn the iPod on without getting the white screen with grey lines. The iPod is still responsive. I can plug it into itunes and browse it normally.
    I've reset the iPod many times and completely reset it through iTunes with no luck.
    Any suggestions? Is this a hardware fault and is it possible to resolve? Or is there something else I can try? Any help would be very appreciated.

    My old Touch 2G has the same issue. The Apple Store Genius couldn't tell what's the problem. However, I observed that the white grey striped display appears almost every time (or at least far more often) when the iPod lays on a ground. It is fixed by tilting it 90°, so that the dock connector is pointing to the ground.
    And sometimes the density of stripes changes by pressing home (no, I don't mean switching from spotlight to first home screen page, because this happens in lock screen, when home button does nothing) or pulling out the dock cable. So I think it's something near the dock connector and home button. Hardware fail, maybe the not so fitting dock cable in the rounded dock connector is the issue.

  • Display has white and grey lines and blocks crisscrossing it and touch functions are not working properly on half the screen.

    I dropped my iPhone 5S and it landed flat on it's face (it was in a protective case).  Since then my touch screen display is not working properly. I have white and grey lines and/or blocks crisscrossing the screen both horizontally and vertically.  Screen responds to touch in odd random ways, but rarely does what I am trying to do.  Can't call or receive calls because can't dial or answer phone via swipe. Can't text or read incoming texts. All functions seem to be working except that I can't access them because the touch screen is acting up. If I move the phone around it randomly accesses different apps or functions, but I have no control over them once the appear on the screen.  Touching screen just causes phone to randomly choose something else to open.  What have I damaged?

    We cannot possibly tell. Obviously some hardware inside. Take it in to an Apple Store. They will offer you the opportunity to swap the phone for $269 in the US. Prices vary by country.

  • I have white and grey line on my ipad it not working please help

    my daughter was using her Ipad and it stop working white and grey line are on it now and she cannot use it at all please help

    Try resetting the device. Hold down the sleep and home buttons, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if that helps.
    If not and if it's still under warranty you may want to make an appointment at your local apple store and have them take a look at it.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • Blank white background (no underlying grid) so i can remove grey lines

    i am sure this has come up before but i wasn't sure how to search for an answer.
    when i leave my spreadsheet alone for awhile it seems like the spreadsheet will show with a blank white background - no grey lines showing the underlying grid - and this view has let me see that there are some cells where i /accidentally/ have thin grey lines where they shouldn't be (it should just be blank). the problem is that if i click in the spreadsheet it automatically shows the grey /underlying/ grid and then i cannot see the thin lines.
    is there a way to get rid of the underlying grid temporarily so that i can get rid of these?
    i looked in the View pulldown and i don't think i saw anything appropriate.
    thank you

  • Grey lines / shades on the screen

    Hi,
    I have really strange problem with display in my iPhone 4s. Only in some applications and on some parts of screen there are visible strange grey lines/shades. Did you ever experience something like that? Is it software or rather hardware problem? Thank you in advance.

    What kind of problems did the ebay seller mentioned in his posting ? this is significant because he may have already diagnosed the problems.
    If he is a reputable seller and he did not accurately stated the issues described in your posting, you could demand your money back.
    Depending on what and how he described the condition of the PB you may also have a good reason to contact ebay.
    Overall and from your description it sounds like your PB has serious issues and you may not be able to repair it yourself. One thing that you do not want to do is to attempt to replace the screen yourself ; I have done it and I can promise you that I will not do it again. On the other hand it could be a problem with the video card.

  • Grey line in the middle on the screen

    help a grey line in the middle of the screen

    Probably a hardware issue, it could be a failing display or graphics card. I'd recommend running Apple Hardware Test in Extended Mode 2-3x to see if it finds any errors. At some point you will need to make an appointment at  our local Apple Store or AASP for professional assesment.
    BTW please complete your profile, you can find the link under Your Stuff in the upper right of this screen. At the very least let us know the version of OS X on your computer and what computer you own.

  • White screen Grey Lines

    Well its my first time doing this so forgive me if I make little sense. I have a compaq presario V6500 and its currently coming upto 4 years old in january. Ever so often my screen goes completely white with vertical grey lines, all the power lights go off and there is absolutely nothing I can do to reset it, once this happens when I try to reboot the laptop it just dies out. It attempts to turn on, the power light comes on, I think i can hear the fan but then it gives up again. I have replaced the charger, also the battery. There is definatly no water damage. Other than this, Ive never had any issues with my laptop. If anyone has any idea's or inklin as to what it could be I would be very grateful. I am reluctant to take it into someone because I think I might get ripped off, also with it being four years old I am also reluctant to do any major hardware replacing, might as well just buy a new one if thats the case. Thank you

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Unsync or delete the problem songs and resync/redownloa them
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store

  • After capture, small grey lines in viewer scrubber bar

    I have just captured about an hour of video to FCP 5 and when I open the clip in the viewer, there are 12 small grey lines in the lower half of the viewer scrubber bar, they seem to be equal distance apart. Anyone know what these are? At first I thought it was indicating dropped frames, but during capture FC did not report any dropped frames. Thanks.

    For example, right where one of those markers is, the time code goes from 14:59;29 to 15:00;02 and skips 14 59 00 , 01 and 02.
    Oh, my, you're new to this video thing, eh? Not a problem, we all were at one time or another, everyone starts somewhere. This is how the two types of timecode work, drop frame and nondrop frame. There's plenty to read on timecode in the FCP manuals. Confusing, we know, try not to let it bug you. Nothing is being lost and a 3 hour clip is the same length in either mode.
    On another topic there's an audio delay in the second half this hour long clip, but I'm not going to get into that right here. Thanks.
    No, thank YOU. Audio delay can be caused by lots of weird things and many of them are user-caused or don't really exist at all.

  • Firefox 5 upgrade showing my Flash website with dotted grey lines around it-- how do I get rid of them?

    After upgrading to Firefox 5 on my 15" MacBook Pro, I'm seeing dotted grey lines on the border of my embedded SWF file of my website. After googling around, I see people were having this problem as far back as Firefox 3. I somehow was not. However, this is highly annoying and unprofessional!
    My site is based in (I know I know) AS1 embedded into a Dreamweaver HTML page. I need to know what code I can add to the page in order to make these stupid borders go away. I've tried various style tags for both the object and for the general style in the head tag. No luck. My site is http://www.andreabakacs.com/index-flash.html

    I've seen this issue mentioned as well and it only seems to happen on Mac.<br />
    I'm not seeing it on Linux.

    it is possible that zoom maybe enabled i think double taping with three fingers should disable it.
