I have weird looking white lines on my screen

Greetings guys,
Everytime I unlock my iPod Touch 4G it has some weird horizontal white lines and the screen in all washed out.
I have to press the lock button again and than bring it up again.
Do you know a good solution ?
Thanks,
Rebecca

Try the standard fixes:
- Reset. Nothing will be 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.

HT4061 I have black and white lines on my screen what is up?

My screen is displaying black and white lines. How do I fix it?

Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If that doesn't fix it, then make an appointment at the Genius Bar as it sounds like you screen has given up.

I have a mac book air. I felt down and I have broken the screen: several white lines on the screen. Do you know if I can only change the screen? Is it expensive?

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
Take your MacBook Air to an Apple Store or reseller to have your display replaced. If you want, you can buy the display yourself and install it, but as you can see, that's expensive > http://www.ifixit.com/MacBook-Parts/MacBook-Air-13-Inch-Mid-2012-Display-Assembl y/IF188-083?utm_source=ifixit_guide&utm_medium=guide_intro&utm_content=required_ items&utm_term=macbook_air_13%22_mid_2012

Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- Try another cable
- Try on another computer
- If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

Also,
If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

I have weird pixelly artefacts showing on my screen...

Can anyone tell me what is going on with my iMac?
I have weird pixelly artefacts showing on my screen.
The attached picture shows a particularly bad portion of a screen grab of this, taken in Safari whilst browsing a website.
The lines and blocks flicker like crazy. They're not moving around, and where they appear, they stay flickering in that spot – BUT if I move the browser window, then weirdly the flickering lines and blocks follow along with the window.
If I flip to a different application, then the flickering lines and blocks might move to a different location, or they might disappear altogether, or there might be more of them or there might be less of them. It's all very random.
Also, as you can see, for some reason I have lines appearing over a dark section where there is an image, and I have blocks appearing over a light section where there is no image.
It can be seen in any application, be it Safari, the Finder, Photoshop, anything...
Some days it's a little bit, some days it's a crazy amount. It usually disappears totally after a reboot, but then after restarting, the flickering lines and blocks gradually appear over time.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

White line (horizontal) through screen

HI,
I have a student who has a white line through his screen (top to bottom) does anyone know if this is fixable. He says he stepped on his netbook. Fair enough.
I am aware it could be a small crack in the screen. But I am leaning towards a loose connection somewhere behind the screen possibly.
I feel that this will need to be insured through the system we have at this school.
But if any one has encountered this before? Usually if it is a cracked screen there are streaks through the display and you cannot see a thing. This is different.
Any thoughts or experince would be appreciated.
Solved!

Hi and welcome,

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

I have a straight horizontal line across my screen

Hi Folks
have a straight horizontal line across my screen. Can assist?

Yes, move the screen slowly back and forth, if it changes, you have a damaged monitor feed cable
Does it appear in all screens?
Does it vanish from time to time?
post a pic, hook your AIr up to an external monitor, if its there, its GPU /logic problem
if its gone, its as mentioned a bad monitor feed from the logic via the cable.
perform SMC reset and re-verify
SMC reset
Shut down the computer.
Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
Press the power button to turn on the computer.
Note: The LED on the MagSafe power adapter may change states or temporarily turn off when you reset the SMC.
Contact Apple for an appt. for in shop diagnostics and likely repair.

Hi susiesunshine,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
It sounds like the screen on your iPhone is cracked and it's only displaying a white line. This generally means that the iPhone needs to be sent in for service, see the articles below for more information about the service suggestion and repair pricing.
