Ipad had colored lines running through the screen

My ipad first generation which i love now has colored lines running through the screen. Can it be fixed?

Howdy diana,
It sounds like your iPad has mulitcolored lines all over it. I would recommend a few things here to help isolate the issue to software or hardware. Try restarting the phone with this article:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
If the issue persists, I would next try reseting the device with the same article:
To reset, press and hold both the Sleep/Wake and Home buttons for at least 10 seconds, until you see the Apple logo.
If the issue is not resolved, I would next backup your device to iTunes, and restore it as a new device to see if the lines are still there. If not then restore your backup and verify they are still gone.

If the lines are there even when setup as a new device, your iPad may need service:

Extra line running through the screen on my Officejet 6500 printer

I just noticed a second horizontal line running through the screen on my Officejet 6500 printer screen (right through where the ink levels show up.) The screen resembles graph paper. What causes this? Is there something wrong with the machine? Can something be done to correct it?

Hi there,
A full factory reset may not be required. Try downloading and running the print and scan doctor located here:

It can fix a lot on its own and if not give a better idea of what is going on.
Best of Luck!

Laptop suddenly had horizontal lines running across the screen

Suddeenly horizontal lines appreared across the screen .
I have shut down and started up the computer numerous times and it does not go away .
It also affects the graphics and text on the screen .
If I cannot fix should I have the computer cleaned and set back to factory standard and how do i do that /
Thanks

2 possibilities:
1. The video chip (motherboard) has gone bad; or,
2. Just the screen has gone bad.
Connect the computer to an external monitor and see if the lines appear on it. If so, it is #1.
It is doubtful that restoring the laptop to factory specs will have any effect on the isue either way but if you want to do that you can tap F11 as you power up to enter factory reset.

40 inch Samsung LCD White Horizontal lines running up the screen constantly

My brand new Samsung 40 inch tv (purchased in mid-December) has white horizontal lines running up the screen constantly. From what I heard, the electricity in my house my not be grounded, but no other tv in my house does this, so I doubt this is the case. Has anybody else had this issue and is it too late to return the tv? Thanks.

Does it do it on other sources like a DVD? If so you may have a TV problem. Have you tried to do a factory reset or restore? Have you tried plugging it into an outlet in a different part of the house? As a last resort have you tried taking it back to the store and see if it works there? Also have you tried a filter on the AC plud in? Just some suggestions to try and help you out.

Thin black line running down the screen

Just did latest update and noticed on the reboot a thin black line running down the left hand side of the screen 8cm in apex.
Any one else got an issue or fixed the issue?

Sounds like a problem with the display. Contact your local Apple Store or AASP and make an appointment to have the display looked at. > Apple - Support - iMac - Service FAQ

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.

Does this happen as Windows boots up or during the desktop??
It sounds like you graphics processor is defected to be honest I would only expect this problem to occur with LCD screens but as you said it happens using the external monitor.
Try changing your display modes to see if this has made any difference.

My iPod Touch has had random lines appearing on the screen at certain times (videos, typing)

My iPod 5 (32gig) has recently started to do this thing where it will show random lines on the screen when either typing quickly or watching certain videos. They are close to the thickness of your fingernails and occasionally vary in color. I've had this iPod for around a year and a half now and it hasn't suffered any significant trauma. When it happens on the keyboard, the lines only appear on the keyboard. When it happens during a video it only happens where the video is playing (ie. if not on full screen, it only happens on the rectangle where the video is, not the empty space). And it also only happens on certain videos. It happened earlier on a news segment clip on the Fox website, but not on a music video I watched on YouTube three minutes later. For videos, it can be up to three of these lines at once. It first started happening to my keyboard and has since furthered itself to the videos. The screen has two small scratches but other than that it's fine. I'd also like to add even though it may not be relevant that my apps have been crashing more recently as well.
What do you recommend I do? Why is this happening? Thank you in advance!

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.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- 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.

Horizontal line going through the screen on retina display

The line is from right to left as pictured. It only shows up on certain colors, but it gets very annoying with any movie playing. On dark blue and burgundy backgrounds the line is a black color. Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

When I first saw that line on my original 20" iMac I thought it was another artifact of the screen controller on that machine that had a lot of problems (need to get it fixed now that I have my PB to fill in. However, I then saw the same line on my wife's 12" PB and now on my new 15". If you are seeing the same as I am (faint grey line dead center of the menu bar) then I think it is just part of the 3D effect in OSX.
