Horizontal lines in iTunes TV Shows

I recently bought a few seasons of Adventure Time (HD) on the itunes store. I've been noticing a kind of weird problem in all of the episodes. On both my Macbook Pro and my iPad, when I watch these episodes, there are horizontal lines that are prominent in certain colors. You can almost always see them in the background if you look really closely, but sometimes a character or something will come on to the screen, and these lines will be really obvious.
I would include a picture, but since it's copywrited, I can't take a screenshot of the show from iTunes.
Does anyone know what these lines are? They don't seem to be in the HD version of the show on my DVR.

I've been having the same issue on my system. 2009 iMac 24", 3.06 core 2 duo, 4gb 1066 ram, nvidia gt130 512mb, running 10.5.7. it's not just in itunes; i see tearing in online videos (esp. netflix instant viewer), when switching Spaces, and even when scrolling through menus. in a game of mine, tearing was horrible until i turned on v-sync. anyone know if there's something that can work system-wide?

Horizontal lines on a pdf

I have some pdfs that were created from an
image file (cal) using MaxView. When viewed on my
old computer (Acrobat 7.0) the pdf apears fine. When view on my new computer
which has Adobe 9 there are 6 evenly spaced horizontal lines. They also
show up on printed copies. Is there a setting I need to change to correct this problem.

Me too! Just yesterday, Aug. 4!
I get horizontal lines about 0.4 inches apart on the prints, but no lines on the PDF on the monitor. They just show up on the print.
It happened the day I ran malware and virus scans in the morning.
It only affects prints from PDFs created by SolidWorks. WORD documents print fine.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled my HP printer software.
I did the repair for Adobe reader 9.3.3
I even changed my ink cartridges that were low.
What else can I try?
What caused this? Is it because our names are Paul?
I tried to contact Adobe without spending $39, but was unsuccessful. I thought maybe they would like to know about problems. Is the forum the only way to do that?

My phone switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen during the restore process and then shows the error 9 problem. please help i am so stressed.

Hello
My iphone 4S switches off after showing horizontal lines on the screen cutting through the apple logo during the restore process and then right after my iTunes shows the error 9 message, this happened 2 days ago when my phone just switched off unexpectedily and has been in this recovery mode since then. i have watched videos on Youtube and i have disabled Firewall before starting the process, i think i have done almost everything. please help anyone what do i do from here?
Just for interest sake i watched this video on youtube where this guy had the same problem but the difference is that he had it on an iPad. he opened the ipad up and did something on the ipad, it took less than a minute then his ipad worked.
I would appreciate it if someone would respond to this as fast as they can i am so stressed.
Regards
Lwando

Error 9 is usually a security software issue.

HP LaserJet 3330 shows horizontal lines exactly every 1.5" when printing a completely white page

HP LaserJet 3330 shows seven or eight about 3.5" long cloudy horizontal lines spaced exactly every 1.5" even when printing a completely white page. This occurs also when copying and faxing.
There are also 2 very thin vertical lines running down the whole page approx. in the middle. They are exactly 1" apart.
However, a scan of a white page viewed on my computer (not printed) is completely clean.
Windows 7. No changes or upgrades.
This question was solved.

Propbably the toner cartridge if they are 1.48" apart it could be the developing cylinder or the charging roller that are both in the toner cartridge. So a good guess if you replace the toner cartridge, the problem will go away. The vertical lines could also be part of this issue.

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems: my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normal. my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines

I have an iphone 4 and i'm having lot of problems:
_ my back camera is blurred although my front camera is fine and working normally
_ my biggest problem is that the screen is showing colored horizontal lines(as perhaps electrical problems). The phone did fell and I already changed its back and front but everything was normal until these problems appeared suddenly
Please can somebody help me to solve it and tell me what are the reasons?
Thx

you can try turning it off and on again, but i doubt that's gonna work, that sounds like more of a hardware issue. Your best bet may be to contact apple and seek service or replacement

Pictures taken with my 1D Mark IV show a blue horizontal line at the bottom from ISO 400 onwards.

Pictures taken with my 1D Mark IV show a blue horizontal line at the bottom from ISO 400 onwards. So far nobody has been able tot tell me the cause of this problem. The body is still quite new (15000 pics taken).

I agree that it looks like a column of photosites is not working. But... I'm curious as to why this would only happen at ISO 400 or above.
The sensor is covered with photosites -- they are monochrome. On top of the photosites is the "bayer mask". The mask is a checkboard pattern of red, green, and blue "lenses" which makes the photosite beneath only sensitive to that particular color. They are group in clusters of 4 photosites in a 2x2 matrix. Two of the four squares (in opposing corners) are green. One corner is red. One corner is blue. If you were to lose a column which happens to be along the red/green column (as opposed to the green/blue) then you'd lose red sensitive and half the green sensitivity in that column. The result would be that this column is flanked by two "working" columns which are full of green/blue photosites... hence the teal blue look.
I do not know if this will work for you, but oddly... you can actually sometimes "clear" stuck pixels (but usually this is an indvidiual stuck pixel... not a whole column of them) by putting the camera into manual sensor cleaning mode (and you may have to do this 2 or three times). While the normal point of the self-cleaning mode is to flip up the reflex mirror and open the shutter so that you can inspect and clean the sensor (really the front-most filter because you can't actually touch the real sensor), it also neutralizes the charge on the sensor (or so I've read). This charging and discharging of the sensor a few times can often get "stuck" pixels to start working again. BUT AGAIN... I've only ever seen this used on individual stuck pixels... never a whole row.

Hey Dean Marvin,
Thanks for the question. These two symptoms are probablyh related. To troubleshoot, let's try resetting your iPod:

I have a new Photosmart 5510e, on all printed photos I have horizontal lines each 13mm that are show

The horizontal lines are shown mor or less over the whole page, for an A4 it's more than 20 lines. Same results if I scan a picture, on a black background the line is White an on a White background the line is dark. Please help! Mats

With the old iPad connected to your computer's iTunes, are you able to copy them over via File > Transfer Purchases (File > Devices > Transfer Purchases on iTunes 11) so that you can sync them over ? If they are appearing in the Purchased Books collection in iBooks on the new iPad then you should also be able to re-download them directly on it by tapping on them, or via the Purchased tab in the ibookstore in the iBooks apps

Hi Guys, my iphone 4 showing bad retina display and showing horizontal lines? What could be the problem???

Hi Guys, my iphone 4 showing bad retina display and showing horizontal lines? What could be the problem???

Could be that your screen is damaged or dying. Only way to know is to bring the phone to Apple for evaluation.

My iPad screen shows a very thin horizontal line... What could it be?

My iPad ia showing a very thin red horizontal line... Wyatt could it be? What should I do? Please help guys!
Tks!

You can try giving it a reset. HOld down the sleep and home keys, past when you see the red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. See if the reboot helps.
If not you should make an appointment at your local apple store and have them look at it. If something is wrong with the iPad's version of the video card, that's beyond a user fix.

Screen Sharing (10.6 viewing 10.5) shows a screen of horizontal lines

I use Screen Sharing 1.1.1 on 10.6.4 to access my iBook G4 and my wife's Power Mac G4 (both running 10.5.8).
A week ago I attempted to view the G4 screen. Instead of the normal display, Screen Sharing showed a screen of colored horizontal lines of varying heights. There were a few random blocks with different color lines. Nothing on the screen was recognizable.
The same display problem just occurred with an iChat screen sharing session (iChat 5.0.3 viewing iChat 4.0.8 on the G4). Restarting the G4 cleared up the problem.
My search of Apple Discussions has not turned up a report of this problem.

Hi,
I have not seen this either.
I have 10.5.8 on my G4 and a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I have heard of issues and can recreate them if my G4 has a second Monitor/screen connected and Mirroring is not On as the iChat Screen Share tries to fit both on to the Shared view (i.e two Screens wide instead of only one.)
I presume the Screen Sharing app would be the same.
Do the G4 users have the Screen Zoomed or any other option set in Universal Access ?
Does changing the resolution in System Preferences > Displays change anything ?

My Safari is showing horizontal lines once in a while

I have a 15" MacBook Pro that's just over a year old. I started seeing horizontal lines in my safari window for a couple of months now. I have attached a screenshot below. Can anyone tell me what is causing this to happen? At first, I was seeing the very top of my Safari window flickering with thin colored lines. Now I am seeing what's attached below, probably once a day.
I want to know if something is wrong with my graphics card (which I don't think it is because it's only happening in Safari) or if something is wrong with my Safari.
Thanks!

Only happens in Safari ... I would try these steps:
go to Safari (in the menu bar), and select Reset Safari...
next, Safari / Preferences / Extensions and turn off the extensions.

Open Console in Utilities & see if there are any clues or repeating messages when trying one of those Apps.

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.
samir

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

7th generation ipod nano only displaying white screen with blue horizontal lines

Hi,
My 7th generation ipod nano is now only displaying a white screen with blue horizontal lines along the bottom. It still plays music and is recognised in itunes with I connect it to my PC.
I have reset is and restored it and it is charged.
Please advise.
Thanks,
Jess

Hi jkjuarez2012,
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like your iPod nano is only showing the Apple logo with a white background, and you've tried many good steps including resetting and restoring the device. I know I'd miss my music in this situation.
Make sure that you followed the steps in this article when restoring your iPod:
Restoring iPod to factory settings - Apple Support
If the issue continues after restoring, your iPod nano may need to be serviced. You can use this link to find out more about iPod service:
If the issue is still not resolved, please read this information on servicing your iPod.
