Horizontal Lines all over Ipod Touch Screen

Hi,
There are white and multicolored lines all over the Ipod touch display. The device still responds to touch, however.
Does anyone know what could cause this to happen?
I didn't do anything to it. It's been working perfectly. I was using it and the battery was about to die so I put it aside. A few minutes later I tried to wake it again and this is what it looked like:

Thanks

Have you had any luck at the Apple Store?
I took mine and they said there was nothing they could do. They suspected something had randomly gone wrong with the hardware, but as it was not under warranty they wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
They gave me the option of replacing it for something like $160 or getting 10% a new iPod Touch. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do.

The photo book review pdf file is fully smudged and there are many horizontal lines all over the pictures. the book looks absolutely ok , but the pdf is showing all problems. also when i uploaded the book, it was successful, but got an error message later

I created a book on I photo and uploaded it yesterday. it was all ok and the order was accepted. However i got an error message today. The book looks perfect on I Photo, when i do a preview, the PDF file is totally smudged and there are 100s of horizontal lines all over the photos. Also the coloures are bleeding all over.
what can be the case and how can i resolve this.

if the book looks good order while in safe mode - then reboot into normal mode
Before ordering your book preview it using this method - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1040 - and save the resulting PDF for reference - the delivered book will match it.
Apple will stand behind the order if it does not match your preview

Field of vertical lines all over Macbook Pro screen? (+ freezes, beeps)

Hello, everyone.
Here's my sitch: my MacBook Pro has really been acting out in terms of freezing with fields of vertical lines. Sometimes the screen will revert back to be free of the lines but remains unresponsive OR it shuts itself down and beeps. Sometimes it fails to wake up after sleep and when I attempt to power it on, it beeps. I took my Mac to a service provider and thinking it was a RAM problem, we ordered and put in new RAM. The problem persisted and then the logic board got replaced. Everything was seemingly fine and in working order when one day a kernel panic occurred and everything was happening all over again. I just brought it back to the service provider and we re-installed my original RAM that came with the Mac. It worked fine at first, but then the RAM beeps occurred again as well as the field of vertical lines that halt the whole system. At this point I'm simply confused at what could be the problem, as the Apple Hardware Test detected "no problem found," the PRAM/SMC have been reset, it booted up completely fine in safe mode, and I've run Disk Utility on Command + Recovery. The Apple Diagnostics tag also says that everything seems to be OK, but what could be the root of this problem??
Does anyone have any insight or suggestions on this? If so, please let me know. Needless to say, I'm tired of dealing with Mac issues when I really need it for schoolwork and such. (Sidenote: I also no longer have a warranty and for my logic board I got it replaced via an Apple Customer Care Code). Anyhow, many thanks in advance to anyone who might have some input on the matter!
PS. This is what it looks like. These pictures are from two separate occasions whereby the Mac froze and these distorted fields of vertical lines popped up.

Since it was an intermittent issue with mine I took videos/pictures of whenever my laptop locked up. I then showed them to the genius when I took it into the Apple Store. After explaining my situation to them they agreed that it was an unusual problem and replaced my logic board out of warranty for free. I would suggest doing the same but the situation and circumstances may vary so they may not offer the same to you. However, it does not hurt to try.
Also, as I mentioned to mchanxo Apple does offer a flat fee of $280 to replace any hardware that is going bad including the logic board. That could be another option but my concern with that is if it only applies to hardware that does not pass the Apple Hardware Test.
Another thing to note is that the genius told me that the in-store Apple Hardware Test does not test to see if the ram slots are going bad. He said the only way to test it is to put the good RAM in each slots and see if the laptop functions correctly. He also noted that if you do install new RAM you need to reformat your laptop to factory settings because the "OS originally sat on bad memory." I am not too computer savvy so I cannot confirm the validity of his statement but it is worth trying.
Hope this helps.

Premiere Pro CS3: How do I get rid of hundreds of short horizontal lines all over the screen?

I have taken over a high school computer lab. We have Premiere Pro CS3. The Premiere Window gets peppered with many hundreds of horizontal dashes that interfere with readability. The dashes are uniformly about 16 pixels long and two or three pixels thick. They seem random in how many appear at any time. If I resize the window, they diminish and then come back. Occasionally they are gone completely. They never appear outside of the Premiere window. These dashed lines do not appear with other programs. We use Photoshop, Illustrator, and many other programs with no problem.See the attached image.
The machines have Pentium(R) 4 2.80 ghz; 2 gigs ram; Nvidia graphics card Gforce 8400 GS.
I have never run across this behavior before. I would appreciate any help. Thanks,
Geo Monley

Probably a bad video card - or a bad video driver. First, try to reinstall the video driver. If that doesn't work, replace the card.

My i pad has horizontal lines all over it. Help me!

i had dropped my ipad on the floor and this is the result
if anyone has suggestions than i will be open
thx!!

Anecdotally, some have reported succedd by smacking their iPad.
basically the guts of an ipad is a board connected to a battery. ANd that board has little bits and pieces sodered onto it. When you dropped it, you jarred something. The theory is that you can rejar it back into place by giving your device a good smack or two. Obviously you do this at your own risk because you can just as easily break it.
The other option is to make an appointment at your local apple store and take it in and pay the out of warranty fee for a replacement. The OOW fee starts at 249 for an iPad 2 and goes up to 299 or more for the newer ones (and 32-128 gig and cellular ones cost more)

My ipod has lines all over the screen and would there be any way to get that fixed?

My I pod touch has lines all over the screen and I was wondering if there would be any way to get that fixed?

Try the standard fixes to rule out a hardware problem:
- Reset. Nothing is lost
Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore from backup
- Restore to factory defaults/new iPod.
If stil problem you very likely have a hardware problem.

I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green.

I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green. The computer froze with these pixels, so I shut it off and restarted it, and there were this green lines everywere. So I turned it off, and the next day I turned it on and it began to work just fine, but suddenly the same thing happened again, and when I restart the computer again there are these green and some red pixels everywere.
I've read 10.7.3 is giving people many problems, but I never saw that it gave one like this. How can I fix this, or what will Apple do to fix this problem they caused me with their update.
Thanks

My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness setting all the way up. how do I get it back to normal?

My iPod touch screen is dark, brightness is completely up and can barely see it. Started all of a sudden.

I am experiencing the same problem. There are lots of discussion threads on this topic. Several people have had short term luck restoring their touch or wiping it clean and starting as a new ipod again. Not a great option, but better that losing the darn thing completely. What has worked for me several times is to power the unit down and leave it for a day or two then it seems to work again. It seems clear to me that this is not a hardware issue, as when it first powers up the screen is fine and sometimes it lasts and other times only for 5 seonds. Also since resetting the software address it, there is no problem with the hardware. SO where is tech support in addressing this. My gen 2 ipod no loger has any sofware updates, thanks apple!
Anybody found a long term fix for this???????

Are the lines like psychedelic herringbone? If yes, I had that happen once, it was something serious, like the
Logic board. The good news is that it was fixed without any loss of data on the hard drive. Take it in to have Apple look at it ASAP. I took it to TekServe at the time, they are very nice about preserving your data and user library when possible.
Good luck and don't panic.

Try restoring the iPod. First from backup and if problem persists, restore to factory settings/new iPod.

My ipod touch screen is broken and whenever i press the lock screen button, the screen is white, what can i do to fix this?

so my ipod touch screen is broken, and whenver i try to unlock the ipod screen, all that i can see is the top right hand corner of my ipod, and the rest is all whited out. Also, the jack which support the headphones to stay in place, one of the balls in the jack is pushed in which causes the headphones and stereo jack to slip all the time. I also have a problem which is when i try to sync my ipod to itunes. Last time i did it(which was 4 years ago), i synced my ipod and i started out with 225 songs, after the syncing process was complete, i ended up with 119 songs. I'm afraid to resync my ipod or back up my ipod to a computer because i dont want to lose the wonderful collection of 589 songs i have now. I'd really appreciate it if i got some feedback. Thanks.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up.

Ipod touch screen went black and then started flashing. Then the turn off slide comes up. Restored multiple times and didn't work. Ipod works with Itunes fine (can put music and podcasts on the ipod), but can't take songs off of the ipod. Using windows xp and everything is up to date. Any ideas of how to fix it?

I didn't know that it was posted three times. My computer didn't say that it posted anything.
My ipod still syncs to itunes and I can put podcasts and music on my ipod, but I can't delete songs after I put them on the ipod. When I try to delete songs I try to delete it from the main music list on the ipod. It's also doing all the other stuff that I posted before. The screen will go black and then the power off slider thing shows up for a few seconds, then it'll show the unlock slider bar. Then goes black again. It will also do that when I have the ipod unocked and changing songs or playing a game. I've restored it to the factory default/new ipod and it still does the same thing. I've uninstalled and reinstalled itunes and then restored it again to the factory default and it's still doing the same exact thing. I checked and my computer is up to date.

Dead iPod Touch screen

Hi,
my 2nd generation iPod Touch screen won't work properly (which I got a year ago along with a university special with a Macbook Pro). When I plug it to iTunes, it shows all the info thats in the iPod, but the screen would only turn bright-white for 15 seconds and then stops. It worked well when I last used it, a couple of hours ago.
Anybody had a similar problem ?
Thanks!

Did you already try to reset the ipod by holding the sleep and home button until the Appl logo comes back again?
