Iphone screen - vertical grey and coloured lines
Would be interesting to know if anyone else has had a similar problem and how they got on. The phone has not been dropped or water damaged and last night a white screen appeared with grey and subsequently coloured vertical lines. It was on the table and working one minute and as described the next. The phone is still receiving messages, emails and calls because I can hear the bleeps but the screen is stuck on the vertical lines. I tried to reset etc but nothing. When plugging it into itunes all the information was still there. I tried a restore but still nothing.
I have arranged to send it back to Apple but I am concerned that they are going to say it is not covered - I know I should wait and see but it would be comforting to know if anyone else has had a similar issue.
Thanks in advance. Not looking forward to the next few days with no fun and feeling a bit fed up!
I've had a similar problem with my iPhone, only my display flickers and eventually had horizontal lines. The phone is only 2 months old and I have cared for it as if it were a crate of eggs. I took my phone to the 'mos at the Apple store twice. The first time the dude pinched the upper right hand corner of the screen and it fixed the flickering temporarily. Then he took it in the back and said the cable needed to be re-seated... but it only worked for 20 mins (I had already left the store). I returned a few days later and the dude said my moisture strip had turned pink, indicating that the phone had been introduced to moisture and was no longer covered under the warranty. The only way this phone could have gotten wet would be if I sneezed on it or possible sweat. I suspect the 'mo at the Apple store switched my moisture strip when he took it in the back. Obviously, the iPhone is unpractical for normal everyday use if it stops working after only 2 months. Then Apple expects you can just buy another one.

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advanceYou can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
2. Press the power button.
3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup. -
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. I can't find my answer on the Internet.
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! -
Vertical red and green lines on my screen
Today I was rendering a bass track in Protools, I do that a lot and always without problems, also today.
It worked fine and I saved the render. Then I had to go for a while and left my mac on, when I came back I touched my mouse
and bam! stuck! I work with two synced apple cinema screens, the left screen got vertical red and green lines and the right screen stayed black...
I am in a big worry because there is four weeks worth of editing on this computer. Does anyone know what I could do about this?I suppose it's a graphic card failure. You'd better get new one.

Vertical Purple and Green lines on start up!
Hi,
I was using Logic X (10.1) and all of a sudden my screen went totally grey and I could here a constant click on my headphones.
After about a minute my Mac restarted itself and on the startup screen displayed thick vertical purple and green lines.
Once it had finished loading up it then went on to a blank white screen and then stayed on this blank white.
I shut down my Mac the restarted it three times and have encountered the same problem every time.
Any help or advice as to what may have caused this and or how it could be fixed?
Thanks in advance.Startup - Gray, Blue or White screen at boot, w/spinner/progress bar

Helllo so i just accidently dropped my ipod and when i picked it up, It still works i can touch and move just fine but the screen is faded and has lines running throught the side, any way to fix it?
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
- 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 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.

As I say my computer, a mac mini refuse to start. When I turn it on it gives the startup sound and the screen turns grey and stay that way for a long time. And in the end a small folder icon with a question mark inside (it doesn't blink) turns up in the middle of the screen.
I have tried to start up from the installation CD holding down the C key on the keyboard. Same result. I have tried different key combinations while starting up. No result or rather same result. Nothing. Is the computer suddenly dead?
I was about to buy a new computer but I need access to my data on this one (I write this on an iPad) but hven't yet found a way.
Anybody have any good advice?
I thought it was a software problem, that the computer couldn't find the startup software or something and maybe it is, but I am beginning to fear that it could be a hardware problem.You need to re install OSX. If you have the dmg file downloaded via torrentz this is how you can create a bootable external HD or Flash drive (8 GB+)

my iphone screen is broken and i need to access it through itunes but my phone is locked. it cannot be unlocked on the screen but is there any way i can do it on itunes so i can access it?
Depends, if you've synced with this iTunes, while that passcode was enabled, you won't be prompted to enter the passcode when connecting your phone. If you have not synced, while that passcode was enabled, you will. So, if you fall in the later, there is no way to do what you want.

My Ipad has been freezing up. I just tried to log off and after sliding the log off bar the screen is grey and there is a small circular icon spinning in the centre of the screen. Over half an hour now. Has anyone run into this before?
Try and hole the home button and power off button at the same time until the iPad shuts off,do not let to of either button until you see the Apple appear in the screen. This will reset your iPad without loosing anything and try power off with the slide bar again after you complete the steps.
Hope this helps. -

There's no way to "restore" your phone, but, you can login to iCloud.com, using your computer, locate your phone, then erase it.

If you try all these Steps and you still have issues... Then a Visit to an Apple Store or AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) is the Next Step... Be sure to make an appointment first... -
My iPhone screen is enlarged and I can't change it back. I can't power the phone off or use it any way while it is like this.
Double tap with three fingers to switch off zoom, then go to Settings > General > Accessibility and disable Zoom.
