I have a thin black line across the middle of my iMac 24"

I have resored, still there. any ideas?

Inverter cable, or board, or GPU. Run the hardware test that came with your machine, it may detect something. If you connect an external display, it may show on that, and if it does, then you know it has to do with the graphics chip itself.

Thin black line across Indesign CS4 doc exported to PDF

Hi ... am using Indesign CS4 on OS Windows XP and exporting docs to PDF (Acrobat 9 Professional) then printing on a HP Colour LaserJet CP2025.
I'm getting a thin black line across the bottom of the page when printing - it doesn't show up on the screen though. The line sits 5mm above the bottom edge of the page and prints whether I have bleed set or not in Indesign.
Have tried toggling scaling, printer's marks settings, printer settings,Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional settings with no joy.
Can anyone help?

Hi all,
EUREKA! Looks like it's finally fixed ...
One of my printer (HP Colour Laser Jet CP2025) has an advanced printer property, under printer features, called "Print Data Optimization" - this was set to "Auto" - I changed it to "Optimise for Text and Vector" and voila! Thin black line has disappeared and I'm happily reprinting a bunch of documents ...
Thanks everyone for your advice and input - saved my sanity

I have a thin black line that appears on my iPad screen. Is my iPad defective?

It could be having issues. If that line appears across apps(as in in more than one app, and even when you're not in an app) , try resetting the device by holding down the home and sleep key, past the power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if the line persists. If it does, your next stop should be the apple store and let them take a look at it. Issues with the display like that are often beyond simple user fixes.

I scanned an old image using my Epson NX515 printer, used GIMP to make some minor repairs on the image and printed it out. I noticed there were a number of evenly spaced thin blue lines across the image, approximately six of them.

I sent the image to my daughter. She printed it and found no lines. I printed the image using Seahorse on my Mac and the lines still appeared. I used basically the same print settings on Mac and PC.

did so now, only now I'm getting a slightly different error: could not find udevd no such file or directory. I checked both grub.cfg's and my mkinitcpio.conf and there's no listing for udevd ....which I've never heard of, so I assumed it was a typo?
For clarification: udev is in the mkinitcpio.
I'm not sure whether I yet have a good intuition for how you have your machine set up, but I suspect you need to include a cryptdevice flag to the kernel in your grub config. The file isn't found because the kernel doesn't know your root directory needs decrypting first.
My setup is an LVM over LUKS over LVM sandwich. To boot into my system, the grub.cfg contains the line:
linux /vmlinuz-linux root=/dev/mapper/cryptvg-root cryptdevice=/dev/mapper/vg-crypt:root rootfstype=ext4 pcie_aspm=force acpi_osi=Linux acpi_backlight=vendor i915.i915_enable_rc6=1 i915.i915_enable_fbc=1 i915.lvds_downclock=1 ro
Now, most of those flags don't have anything to do with your problem, but note the cryptdevice. It tells the kernel it's dealing with an encrypted filesystem sitting in a logical volume called crypt on a volume group called vg. The bit after the colon tells the kernel to associate this encrypted filesystem with /dev/mapper/root.
As for how to fix your system, I'm afraid I still feel a bit fuzzy about how your LVM and encrypted layers relate to each other, whether you have LVM over LUKS, or LUKS over LVM, or something else. Was there a particular how-to that you followed?

Thin black line across screen

My 5th generation Ipod classic has, in the last year, developed a think black line across the center of the screen that is always there. Is this a "dead pixel" area that has developed? Is there any way to repair this that isn't costly?

This is a fairly common problem and I believe the only solution is to replace the screen or simply live with it. My daughter's old ipod does the same thing. You will notice that the lines only show up when the backlight it on, right?

Hi
You should ask your relative to physically take the iPhone to the store rather than shipping it because as diesel vdub has said:
"No Apple store will accept an iPhone shipped to them"
All you have to do is safely pack and ship your iPhone from the Philppines to your California-based relative.
HTH?

Black line in the middle of the screen, I Pad is 2 years old, tried rebootng no change. Help!

black line in the middle of IPad

I am guessing when you say reboot, that you reset by holding the power button and home button until you saw the apple then let go. Did you try restoring it as new through iTunes on your computer? If you still have problems, you may want to make an appt with an Apple store.

Glowfilter sometimes adds a line across the middle of the bitmap

I am using a glowfilter to draw the outline of a shape onto a bitmap. I set both inner and knockout to true.
Most of the time when I apply the filter, all goes well. But sometimes, some of the shapes end up with a horizontal line across the middle.
Does anyone have any idea what might cause this, and what workaround could be used to avoid it?

Where'd that black line down the middle come from?

I have a black line down the middle of each page of a template that is visible in the PDF Export. Since this is a magazine template, is it supposed to be there?
Thx.
Paul

Okay, as long as it's okay that it shows up in the PDF export.
Thx.

Ipad 2 front camera has a blurry black line down the middle

Evening,
My Ipad 2 front camera has a blurry black line down the middle, tried resetting but still there. back camera is fine.
Any ideas ???

Hello AndyPharris,
It sounds like you're seeing an unexpected black line when you take photos with your rear camera. I would next backup the iPad to your iTunes library:
iOS: How to back up and restore your content
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1766
And restore it from your backup with this article as a new device to test the issue:
Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1414
If it works, restore from your backup and verify it still works. If the issue persists when you restore as new, I would seek service for your device with this page:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

Help!! My Zen V Plus has a black line across the disp

Hi can someone please help me, my v plus display has a horizontal line across the screen and it really ruins everything. Can this still be fixes? Would anyone know this problem or had the same experience?

I have had similar bugs. If your player is still in warranty, your best bet would be to contact the store of purchase or Creative, explain your problem and ask for a replacement.

My Classic developes two thin horizontal lines across the top third of the screen.

After a day using my classic in the car, I plugged it into its speaked dock and niticed two thin horizontal lines all the way across the top third of the screen.
Does anyone know how to get rid of them pleaase. Thx

You can try Resetting the iPod, won't work, if LCD screen is damaged or the display chip surface mounts has gone wobbly, which mean going in for servicing.
Otherwise.
Press Menu and Center button for 10 secs till the Apple logo comes on, then release the buttons.

My ipod screen is white with small vertical lines with one big black line in the middle

My ipod's screen turned white and had a few thin vertical lines and 1 thick black line in the center. the ipod can still play music but i have to randomly press the icons by memory to play music since I cannot figure out where the icons are. It all started after downloading a free app. I was browsing my ipod when the screen turned white. I already restored it to its original settings. I don't remember dropping my ipod. Help!

Since restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod did not solve the problem it appears that you have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

What would cause a slim horizontal line across the screen of my iMac?

There is a slim line across the Center if the screen. It is horizontal. It does not appear every time I boot up, but it is causing concern.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
It would mean that your display or GPU are starting to fail, most likely the GPU, as the line is not permanent. Does the line move during the time your iMac is turned on or change if you start up in safe mode (holding the Shift key while your Mac is starting)?
A good test you can do is to make a screenshot of the screen when your iMac is showing the line. To make the screenshot, press Command, Shift and 3 keys, and the screenshot will appear in the desktop. Double-click it and see if the line appears. If it appears, it's the GPU. If not, it's the display
