I have a black band across my screen is it broken

I have got a black band across my screen on my I pad don't know how this has come is it an error or something, or is it broken.

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Updated Fire Fox and now have an annoying horozontal black line across my screen!! Why does Fire

I updated Fire Fox to be landed with an annoying horozontal black strip across my screen. This has happened on a previous update but was fixed by disabling plugins however not this time. I think I may need to drop Fire Fox as this happens on every Fire Fox update!!!!

A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue.

Green/Black Band Across Encodes

I'm at the end of my rope here. I've done so many clean installs over the past week, it's made me sick. So the problem now, is that certain encodes from Compressor had a green band across about 75% of the screen (like a reverse letterbox). The top strip above the band was a still image of the video, and below the band was the only video moving.
Anyway, after talking to the Pro Apps team at Apple, they recommended I do another clean install of Snow Leopard, then install all Pro Apps from the discs. I haven't installed any 3rd party apps or plugins at this point. I tested it out, and I'm now getting a black band across these encodes instead of green. It occurs on encodes with frame controls on, or encodes where the sequence frame size is larger than the encode in Compressor. All of these encodes work fine on my old Mac Pro.
I've tested the video card with TechTool Deluxe as per a suggestion from one of the Pro Apps Team members, and it all looks fine (I do know that it says it's not been tested with Snow Leopard). I tested my RAM with MemTest, and it was all fine (although it is Crucial RAM, not Apple's).
What else could it be? I'm calling Apple back tomorrow, but I'd love to hear any suggestions you guys have.
Thanks,
Lawrence

Here's the one sample workflow that produced these results:
Exported a Quicktime slideshow from iPhoto using frame size 1920x1080 and the Animation codec
Imported the QT file into FCP by dragging from Finder into the bin
Dragged the clip into a sequence, and said confirmed that FCP should change the sequence settings to match the clip
Ctrl-clicked sequence and chose "Export>Using Compressor"
Dragged DVD 90 Min High Quality setting and clicked "Submit"
Another workflow as follows:
Opened finder and located a DVCProHD 720p30 file
Imported into FCP using cmd-i and browsing to clip
Dragged clip into timeline
Allowed it to change settings
Exported with same settings as above (but this export will only have green band if frame controls are turned on in Compressor)
It should also be noted that I've checked these files on my MBP and my old MP and they work fine. Same workflow exports without problems. I talked to Apple again, and they are submitting a log report from my new MP to the engineering team.
But I did also find another post indicating others with 12-Core Mac Pro's are having the same issues. So the senior Apple Rep advised me that it is not Apple's job to ensure compatibility between new hardware and old software and unless a sales rep specifically advised me that FCS 2 would work with the new Mac Pro, I'm out of luck.
So I'm thinking anyone who's got FCS 2 and is considering a new MP should be warned.

My kids have been playing on my iMac and I now have a black box on the screen that describes where the cursor is or what I am typing etc.

My kids have been playing on my iMac and I now have a black box on the screen that describes where the cursor is or what I am typing etc.
Can anyone help me with removing this box
I thought it might be subtitles but not sure?

How about asking your kids?
Care to share which OS you are using?

I have 2 lines horizontally across my screen, it is a defect in the screen.

My macbook air has two lines that run horizontally across the screen. They are there when the computer is off. I have tried to clean the screen but it does not affect the lines.

Thank you Paul. I had a suspiicion it might be. I'll try the safe boot idea read somewhere else and if not will take in for a service.

Brand New iPad 3 has a jiggly screen and black boxes across the screen in different apps

My mother purchased a brand new iPad 3 about 1 week ago. The screen has begun to shake while she is in the apps. (This is not the shaking that icons do on when you hold an app down so you can rearrange.) When this happens the screen will go blank when her hand is near it and reappear when she moves it away. Also, in some apps, I have experienced this in the App Store and Facebook, black boxes cover the screen so that you cannot see what is behind them.
We have tried shutting it down completely, but that doesn't seem to be a fix.
I have been searching for others with this problem and haven't found any. Help would be appreciated. Given the sporadic nature (but often enough to be a bother), I'm hesitant to go to the Genius Bar for fear it wouldn't do it then.

I've had the same problem with Big Black squares covering the screen. And a few times the screen has split vertical in the middle and pushed everything in the on half a little down, making it very difficult to read text as the lines was cut in half.
I first experienced it in Mail, and then in Safari. I noticed that it is only covering content, not the App bar and When I scrolled down, the boxes were staying On the spot On the page. I figure it must be a software problem as it moves alting with the rest of the content, so I tried uenig Chrome instead, but yesterday the same ting happened.
I have tryed to take a screen dump, but it gets completely black
Its not warm When the problem occours.
Anyone with a solution?

I have colored lines running across my screen, does this mean my computer is going to crash?

I have colored lines running across my display, is there anything I can do?

Run the Hardware Test in Extended mode. Disconnect all periperhals first. If you're running 10.6.8, you have an Intel Mac not a PPC.

My browser seems to crash quite a lot and Ive noticed a lot of you tube videos dont play back correctly and have a green bar across the screen

Ive had the browser a couple of days now and I've noticed it crashes occasionally. Ive also noticed it doesn't play back videos off you-tube correctly and there is a green band going across them as they play. I think this may be an issue with adobe flash player. If i play the video via the popout button, it seems ok.
I don't know if the crashing and playback issues are related.

I disabled acceleration in the flash player by linking to http://kb.mozillazine.org/Flash#Troubleshooting and scrolling to the line that specifically outlined my problem - split horizontal screen with green line - clicked on the flash link then right clicked the flash icon and ticked disable acceleration.
I also uninstalled and reinstalled more programs then I probably need to.
We will see how long it lasts* site explains it may not be permanent

Ripple band across scrolling screen

My new Quad-Core seems ok after the migration and general set-ups today but one little niggly issue I have: When a browser is scrolled or a Photoshop file is grabbed and moved at 100% zoom, I get two thin horizontal ripples as the graphics move vertically or horizontally. It's hard to say if these bands are on the same part of the screen (Apple 23" - not new but perfectly ok on the old G5).
I was thinking memory/RAM rather than graphics card (NVIDIA GeForce GT 120) but the 640GB hard drive is largely empty. I partitioned into three volumes with the migrated data from my old machine in the main one and the others still with nothing.
Any ideas?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)

I have a black "bar" across my page, just above my tabs, below my yahoo toolbar. How do I get rid of it?

my question pretty much covers it, except to say the bar may have shown up at my last update. Thanks for any input.
B.

Issues with a black (empty) toolbar can be caused by a plugin or an extension that is not compatible with Firefox 3.6 and isn't working properly anymore. 
A toolbar like the "ZoneAlarm Spy Blocker Plugin Stub for 32-bit Windows" and other toolbars like "Ask.com" or "My Web Search" can cause this issue. 
You can see the toolbars in View > Toolbars.

My laptop has a wide band across the screen, my laptop has a wide band across the screen

any help my screen has a wide vertical band tath comes on go ,on diferentes colors

Generally, you are in for an expensive repair, (assuming it is out of warranty.) FYI: Mom's iMac is about 7 years old and it too has developed three tiny green lines running vertically through the screen. A replacement is in order, which is unfortunately going to plague all LCD buyers over time.
Yours is probably a ribbon-cable come unglued, so to speak. They are very thin and the contacts are volatile, and not every'qualified' hardware geek is physically able to fix such baic, but intricate issues. There is a simple utility which tests the screen-resolution, and this may hepl a techie to discern any specific processor faults, but I'm not sure how it might help your actual problem.. http://www.xbench.com/

After receiving 8.0 I have a gray bar across the screen above my tabs. How do I get rid of it?

When I R click on it the The Tool Bar Menu drops down, nothing when I L click.

Try the Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
* You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''Don't select anything right now, just use "Continue in SafeMode."''
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Trial to Full Version: Still have black bar across project...why?

I just downloaded the full version of Premiere Elements 9 for my Mac. The project I had created with the trial version I was led to believe would cease to have the black bar across the video once I downloaded and installed the full version. The black bar still exists. Is there something else I need to do to get it to go away?
Thanks,

Hi
Seleting "Timeline > Delete Rendered Files" hasn't worked for me - the black line is still there.   Now I've done it, the "delete rendered files" option has greyed out so obviously Elements think it's done what it can.
Im using Premiere Elements 9 on Windows 7.   Could there be anything else I need to do?
Other info:
I'm using A Dell Pavilion hP Laptop with i7 Q720 1.60 GHz and 4GB RAM
My project uses MPG4 fles covnerted to AVI format but still with MPG4 codecs in (haven't figured how to sort that one out yet despite great help here...)
My Project is set up as DV - NTSC.
Workflow - haven't used any transitions or anything. One single mp3 on one track (although slip up 8 or 9 times to stop slippage), with hundreds of 2-3 second video clips (as above) on 3 video tracks.
Anything else I can tell you?
Really hope you can help as I've just spent about 8 hours on this project!
[EDIT - could it have anything to do with the fact that I have been rendering clips as I went along (I had to as I was having trouble with file formats). If so, there is there any way of "re-doing" a project, or do I have to start again from sratch?   I guess the auto-saves won't help me as I've been rendering every 30 secs or so.]
[EDIT 2 - problem solved (after a very worried hour!).   I removed all files from the organiser and then brought them all back in, and that did the trick]
Cheers
Oli
