I-pod touch has multi-colored lines across it, can it be fixed?

I was playing a game on my Touch when it froze and then it changed to a screen with multi-colored horizontal lines across it. I have tried to reset it, but it will not respond. I cannot even get it to turn off. I have a feeling that it is a hardware problem, any suggestions?

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

    My iPad Mini has mutli-colored lines across it how do i fix it? i tried turning it on n off i restored it but nothing will work

    You can't fix it.  You need to make a reservation at the Genius Bar at the nearest Apple Store.   Use the link below to find one near you.  Before attending the reservation you should create a backup of the device.  You can use iTunes but ICloud should prove more convenient.

  • Ipod froze with multi-colored lines.

    My iPod suddenly froze with multi-colored lines in the screen as I was waiting for an app to start. I tried holding both the sleep/awake button and home button at the same time to restart it, but it won't work. I tried connecting it to the computer itunes but it wasn't recognized. What should I do, help please?

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

  • HT1430 Ipod touch (5th generation) w/ lines across the screen - now dead.

    My son's Ipod touch (5th generation) had lines across the screen. I turned it off using the home + on/off button reset, but the apple never came back on. Now it seems to be dead. Not dropped, not completely drained, no water damage. Just dead. Any ideas?
    I have also tried plugging it into my Macbook Pro, and iTunes does not find it.
    ITunes is up to date.

    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: 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. See:                                 
    iOS: How to back up           
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem.

    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?

  • Multi-color line in Safari

    On Safari 5 there is occasionally a multi-color line running almost through the entire window. Does anyone know why this happens or what it is?

    Thanks.

    HI Richard,
    That shouldn't be happening, obviously.
    Have you tried Safari on another user account? See if you see that line there.

  • Hi, My sons i-pod touch has a picture of the i tunes logo with the USB port pointing to it.  I have tried to update the itunes but to no avail.

    My sons i-pod touch has comeoup with thelogo of i tunes wit the usb cable pointing to it. it will not respnd at all. any ideas?

    There is no such thing as "APPLESTORE" mode.
    What you need to do is connect the iPod to the computer and restore via iTunes. If iTunes does not see the iPod try the following:
    - Place the iPod in recovery mode. For how see:
    iPhone and iPod touch: Unable to update or restore
    - Place in DFU mode:

  • My Mac Book Pro suddenly gets stuck with weird horizontal colored lines across the screen, which will only go once I restart the laptop. What can I do?

    Randomly while scrolling, the screen just goes beserk and gets stuck with random colored lines. And, the only way to get rid of this is to restart my entire computer. My laptop is about 3 years old now. Is this a sign of age or what? What can I do to run my laptop smoothly without turning it off and on every time it goes crazy?

    Try resetting PRAM and SMC.

  • I-Pod Touch has hung. How can I reboot it?

    I have just purchased a 8 Gb Touch. I plugged it into my Powerbook and everything on the Touch was working ok.
    I registered it and it identified a software upgrade that was needed. It was downloading the upgrade when I unintentionally unplugged it. Now the Touch has the busy logo going fulltime and there doesn't seem to be anyway to stop it. I unplugged it and replugged it back into the Mac and when I opened i-tunes it had an error message saying it couldn't connect to the i-phone?? Any advice would be welcomed. Thanks.

    Hold the sleep button (top) and the Home button down until you see the white Apple on the black background...

  • Rear Camera has horizontal white line across screen

    Hi, I was given a playbook for Christmas and I love it but it has developed a horizontal white line on the rear camera which makes the camera and video unusable. I have customized my Playbook so am reluctant to take it back to the shop. Is there anything I can do to fix this or do I just accept that I'm not going to be able to use the rear camera or video? Hope you can help as in every other way my Playbook is perfect. Thanks.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    If a Playbook is to be sent for repair, especially with an RMA, it is important to back up data files by WiFi sharing as a desktop software backup  may not work if the unit is replaced with a refurb or new unit.
