I developed a vertical yellow line on my mid 2011 iMac - anyone else have this issue.

My iMac developed a vertical yellow line on the left side of the display. Any easy way to tell if it is a logic board or ?. Anyone have idea of cost to repair or if this is a known issue? I have 2 older iMacs that have great displays with no issues. Screen shot shows the line.

A screen shot is 100% software. If memory serves me to get one its Shift Command F3. The use the forums tool for integrating into your post.
Have you run Apple Hardware Test in Extended mode? If not do it 3x back to back. If an error code appears take that with you on your visit to the Apple Store or AASP. Apple does not publish these codes only the store or AASP can accurately translate.
Good luck and By the way next time get Apple Care, small investment but huge return on issues like this.

I am walking through Apples tutorial getting started with iOS development. I am at the storyboard area and can't seem to drag the cancel button to the green exit. I am not sure why the exit button doesn't except it. Is anyone else having this issue?

I have done this app twice and still cant get the exit to except the Cancel or Done bar buttons

Yes I checked it. As far as I can see I did everything Apple said to do. I took some screen shot so you can see how the screens are connected and what and where the code is, and what it does when I drag the cancel and done bar buttons to the exit

Vertical blue line won't go away ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ?

I have a vertical blue line on my MBP display, only one pixel thick but all the way top to bottom. Location-wise, in the finder menu the line runs between the 'e' and 'l' of the 'help' option - about 4" from the left of the screen.
The problem persists after a restart and stays there no matter which app I'm using. It's most noticable when the screen is displaying a darker image but when displaying a white/light/bright background (like the apple discussions) it's hardly noticable.
Seems to me like I have a vertical line of dead pixels and it needs to go back to apple for a replacement. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? and can anyone confirm that this means dead pixels, I've never experienced it before.
Thanks in advance for any replies.

Hello there. This problem is definitely a defect in the LCD display. Take it back to Apple for repair. I have had this happen with an old iBook.

My iMac display occasionally flashes green and purple horizontal lines... is anyone else having this issue, or know of a fix?

The screen occasionally flashes purple and green horizontal lines across it. Then the buttons on the left side of my menu bar turn fuzzy, and when I click on them they become black rectangles with green and purple lines running thru them. The dock also has a hint of green and purple in it. And some of the shadows around application windows are just black outlines, instead of gradiating shadows. Is this happening to anyone else? Does anyone have a fix? I read about the other supposed graphics issues, but I think they're unrelated, or at least left unfixed by the firmware update.

Why can't you use the Bluetooth keyboard?
According to the link I posted for the AHT..
"For some Apple computers that shipped with OS X Lion, if Apple Hardware Test cannot be found on the hard drive, an Internet-based version starts up instead."

If you're stuck within an app or you've noticed a problem, simply hold both the home button and sleep/wake button at the same time. It's important to keep your fingers on these buttons until step 3.
After a few seconds the red ‘slide to power off' screen will appear, simply ignore this. Ensure your fingers are still holding down the home and sleep/wake switch.
Shortly after you should see the Apple logo, it's now safe to let go of the iPad's buttons. Your iPad should now boot, beware this process can take up to 15 minutes or so.

My friends iPhone 6 Plus has lines going through the screen. Does anyone else have this problem?

Help? There are white lines going through the right side of screen. I reset the phone and restored it, I don't think its software.

is it still a hardware issue ?
I am seeing from last 2-3 days or i realized in last 2-3 days but am keeping seeing every 1-2 hrs apart the lines keep coming and phone also acting especially in the areas of touch response. I am on latest 8.1.3 version .
At least i know that i am not alone.

I have a vertical yellow line down the centre of my iMac g5, is there any way to fix this issue?

Hi, I've seen a few other forum discusions on this issue, and it seems to have been a recurring problem, I'm wondering if Apple have a software patch available for this issue. Its a vertical yellow line that runs from the top to the bottom of the monitor, other people have spoken about how multiple lines can start appearing once the problem has begun, so I'm concerned that this is going to degenerate. I recently upgraded the OS to Snow Leopard, so I'm wondering is it possible that this may have been one of the issues that people have come across when updating the OS.

How is it connected? Have you tried different port? How about logging in as a different user then trying to mount the drive.

On my G5 mac at work, I am getting - don't know what to call it - looks like extraneous matrix type code around prompt windows and in applications. Sometimes I will get large shapes of colors, yellows, magentas, cyans. Anyone else experience this?

On my G5 mac at work, I am getting - don't know what to call it - looks like extraneous matrix type code around prompt windows and in applications. Sometimes I will get large shapes of colors, yellows, magentas, cyans. Anyone else experience this?
I will attach a recent screen shot of a print window I opened and the extra code is above and below the window. There are matrix type blocks of code and then lines under the window. I get this all the time and it is getting worse.
Any help to get rid of it would be appreciated.
Thanks

It's likely the Video card, or possibly heat.

Version 10.1.3 misses printing some lines. Is anyone else having this problem?

Using Adobe Reader X version 10.1.3 it misses printing some lines but prints perfectly with version 8.1.2. Is anyone else experiencing this problem?

I always match the entire project to the footage so this problem doesn't happen.
I have an after effects project dynamically linked to the project. I think that may be causing the problem somehow, although that is also a 1440 project.
Again, I had no problems before. I've done 10+ projects for this client with the same settings and am only now having problems.
I never recommend shooting in 1440, but that is what they wanted for whatever reason. Always 1920x1080p or 1280x720p.

problem with updated find my iPhone (FMi) app: when I attempt to open the FMi app, it tells me that I need to be a registered developer and run iOS7 to do so; is anyone else having this problem? I got the app as a regular update to my existing FMi app which worked great.

The problem is being reported in the news media, yes. Apparently someone at Apple jumped the gun and uploaded the update before it was ready. They'll probably issue another update shortly, I would expect, but you can go here:
http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/
and follow the instructions to report the issue to the iTunes Store. If you have a backup copy of the older version of the app, remove the newer version, restore the old version to iTunes on your computer, and resync.
Update: Well, that was certainly quick. As of a short time ago, various sites are reporting that the Find My iPhone app is no longer displaying the previous error message. If it still is for you, delete it from your iPhone and re-download from the iTunes Store.
Regards.

I recently purchased the 16GB 5s. I didn't notice this before, but when I attempt to take a photo with the flash in the "on" position, the flash only works sporadically when I take a picture with the phone vertical. Anyone else with this problem?

My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. Am near an Apple Store, but anyone else had this problem

My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. I'm near an Apple Store and can take the laptop in, but has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks for your input. I didn't completely flesh out what I'm seeing visually. The resolution settings are all correct for my screen. The problem is if, say, looking at the gray startup screens or a completely white full-screen image, there is a perimeter of graying, almost as if the LEDs are somehow not as bright as the rest. It's also curious that the thickness of this phenomenon is almost exactly the same as the metal bezel around the display. I will be taking it to an Apple Store for a look, as I'm also having several minor hardware problems that need to be addressed and remedied.

Vertical yellow lines on MBP on white background after screen idle

After letting my MBP idle and the screen idle kicking in the display comes back with yellow lines but only on white background windows. See a screenshot here:
http://i110.photobucket.com/albums/n94/lelio_2006/photo.jpg
if the background is anything but white the lines do not appear. The lines are always vertical and they are one pixel wide (the white part is one pixel wide as well).
Taking a screen capture does not show these lines so I'm not sure if it is a problem with the video card but rather the display. After closing the lid and reopening the lines go away.
I have a GeForce 8600M GT that is mentioned in the tech support document. Is this related to that issue?

Still doesn't work after Apple repair.
Took my MBP into the Apple store, they plugged in a device to check it and said that it was broken. He took it in back and came out 5 minutes later and said that they need to ship it in and that I should back everyting up. I took it home to do so.
And then it WOULDNT BOOT. I ran fsck and it said that there were problems. Went back to the Apple store and a very helpful new person ran Disk Warrior and couldn't fix it. Said that I could give him my hard drive and he'll back it up and send it in for repairs. He definately went above the call of duty to help me out.
Got it back 5 days later and restored, that went amazingly smoothly. However I still have the same problem of yellow vertical lines after a system idle / shutdown. I'm not sure what they checked after replacing the logic board but it doesn't appear to have been fixed.
Does the logic board include the video card?

Mac Pro with vertical yellow line on Monitor

I have a Mac Pro with a large monitor. The monitor has worked fine for many years. It now has a yellow vertical line that runs top to bottom. The line are dead center on the screen. Is there any way to get rid of the yellow line?

Double check (shut down, disconnect, reconnect and restart) your connections at the computer and at the monitor.
Impovement?
Boot to Safe mode (hold Shift while starting).
Do the lines occur then?

I developed a vertical yellow line on my mid 2011 iMac - anyone else have this issue.
