Ipod classic has grey lines on the screen

I noticed today that my iPod has a few shortish grey horizontal and vertical lines on the screen. They are approximately on the spot where the picture of the battery shows up when the screensaver-thingy shows up. They aren't huge and don't really make using my iPod impossible but they do bother me. I've been using my iPod normally and I usually keep it in a plastic case to avoid the screen getting smashed in my bag etc. So the lines just.. showed up. Resetting the thing didn't help and the lines are always there.
What the heck?

I have had exactly the same problem for the last week. 4 horizontal lines. Just came on after I had synced. Have restored and no difference

  • My iPod 5th generation has white lines across the screen and i cannot unlock it

    My iPod has white lines across the screen. I cannot do anything! Somebody please help! P.S. I dropped it and it did this.

    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. I suspect that the drop damaged the iPod

  • My iPod nano has a lock on the screen.How can I unlock and use my nano?

    My iPod nano has a lock on the screen. How can I unlock and use my iPod?

    Do you know there is the lock/unlock thing on the top or bottom right? If that doesn't work, hold down the middle circle and top portion of the circle button at the same time and hold until the screen goes black. Let go and soon an apple will appear. If you wait / press some buttons (i am not sure exactly how this part works) it will turn white and then the screen will appear again. You have all your music and everything still but the problem should be gone. This also works if your iPod ever freezes.

  • My ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen is frozen

    my ipod classic 120 wont respond and the screen  is frozen

    Hello Charles,
    What happens if you try to do a hard reset?  To do this, press and hold both the Select (Center) and Menu buttons together long enough for the Apple logo to appear.  This may or may not work the first time around so be sure to attempt this at least a minimum of three times.
    If the iPod remains frozen, let the iPod's battery drain completely, but attempting to recharge the iPod.

  • My iphone has blue lines down the screen

    My iPhone 4 has blue lines down the screen which occasionally change colour. I've tried resetting it and restoring the settings but it is continuing to do this. please help....

    To rule out a software issue, set it back to factory settings without using the latest backup.
    Use iTunes to restore your iOS device to factory settings - Apple Support
    If still lines on the screen, this is hardware related and the phone needs to be serviced:

  • Brand new Ipod touch 2nd G has grey line near the bottom of the screen?

    Does anybody know why my ipod touch has a grey line just below the last line of apps? Should I take it in? What should I do? I have already restored it.

    How do I take it back? I bought it off amazon, will the apple store exchange it? Do I need to arrange somthing?

  • My ipod nano has horizaontal lines through the bottom portion of the screen and the left half of the screen is black, the right half of the screen changes from red, to blue to orange, etc.  Any idea how to fix that?

    White stripes suddenlt appeared at the bottom of the screen on my ipod nano a few weeks ago.  I figured it was just from use and that it is an older model- I could still see through them and use the device.  Yesterday, only the left half of the screen was visible, the other side was black.  This morning, the stripes are still there, all the way across the screen on the bottom, the left side os black and the right sise is red most of the time.  Any ideas on what happened and how to fix it?

    Hello scgreco,
    I would be concerned as well if my iPod nano screen had stripes and was partially black.  I found a resource that I think would help in a situation like this.
    I recommend following the steps in this troubleshooting assistant for your iPod nano model:

  • IPhone 5 has vertical lines on the screen. Help !

    Hey a few days ago. I left my phone on a table faced down in a small puddle of bubble mix. ugh.
    Everything works the sound, touch screen, camera. No glitches. But my phone is discolored & has vertical lines.
    I was wondering of If should just get a new screen or if there's a better way ??

    Try backing up the phone and then do a restore, when you restore set it up as new to see if it still persists if it does you''ll probably need a repair.

    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults/new iPod
    If you still have the problem that points to a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    My phone has lines from top to bottom  the screen has nothing , I tried to reset it many times also tried to reset with computer and nothing. I used to tap on it and sometimes it worked but not no more , I even broke the screen and cracked the back  so now what ??? this I-phone 4 is the worst phone i have had . I started with the first I-phone  tthen the second and third and they were all good , in fact my kids have them now . Since I got the I-phone 4 nothing but problems.and its only A little over A year since i got it

    I am having the same issue.  ** MY IPHONE IS TURNING OFF RANDOMLY ** and it's driving me crazy. 
    THE SYMPTOM... I am using my phone fine and then when I go to send a text, take a photo, etc, it just turns off. This started a few weeks ago after upgrading to the new IOS.  The 'symptoms' increased in frequency and my phone started turning off more frequently.   I took my Iphone to the apple store. They reset the phone to factory standards and the problem still exists.
    THE PROBLEM: The guy at the Genius Bar said he knows there is a known software issue, and this looks like it's affected my processor.  BUT this was only after I told him that I have been reading about a lot of other people having the same problem.
    THE SOLUTION:  Are you having the same issue? ... Reply to this post and let me know.   If a lot of people are having the same problem, Apple will probably just swap out the phones.  My phone is in mint condition except for the new 'problem' its having after I upgraded my software.

  • My ipad has red lines on the screen

    My ipad has red lines running across the screen, this does not happen all the time, but seems to affect the black colour on screen, is there a solution to this please

    You can try to reset your iPad:
    Press and hold the Home button and the Sleep/Wake button (also known as power button) simultaneously.
    Continue holding both buttons until the iPad shuts down and begins to restart, this might take up to 20 seconds.
    You may stop holding the buttons when you see the Apple logo.
    You completed the reset successful, you can now try if your iPad works again.
    If it won't work, it means you have a hardware problem. If you have warranty, you can repair it for free, visit your local Apple Store or Premium Reseller to let them repair your phone.

  • IPOD classic has static on both the headphone jack and 30 pin connector

    Static makes it hard to enjoy.  Anyone else?  Anyone have a solution?

    Note: This is NOT a software, headphone, nor headphone jack problem.  My meticulously cared for iPod Classic lost audio output from both the headphone jack and sync/dock connector. I Google'd the problem and found info as to some internal defect... apparently a chip connection loosens over time stopping all audio output. Pinching the lower right corner of the iPod restores the audio temporarily.  I called Apple Support and they did recognize the problem in certain iPod models but said having gotten five years of use out of the device was really good.  Not really happy about spending another $300 on a new Classic that will last a few years...

  • My iMac has flickering lines on the screen...? HELP!!!

    I have a white iMac running Lion that has been freezing up or restarting on me. I've had this issue with Snow Leopard also. Then I also have an issue that when I open the internet I get lines across Safari flickering around as I use it and it also happens when I open Itunes and other programs....I do not run multiple programs at the same time I close them when I'm done. Lately I've been having to use Windows Vista, through boot camp , but even like that I get lines flickering all about. They're black and thin. It has been going on for a while but tody I got fed up with it because I tried playing Sims game but when I opened up the game to start playing all my screen got horizontal lines, they're black and white or black and light blue something like that.
    I notice that it mostly does it while running on the Apple OS and when I run it on Windows Vista I only get the line issue.
    Has anyone had this issue?

    One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for problem in Safe Mode...
    PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
    Reboot, test again.
    If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it could be some hardware problem like Video card, (Quartz is turned off in Safe Mode), or Airport, or 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
    Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.

  • My 2014 MacBook Pro has a line across the screen when minimizing

    I am having a problem with my 2014 MacBook Pro with the 2.7 Ghz i5 and 8Gb ram.
    When I minimize my screen, irrespective of the program, a white line appears across the desktop and sometimes blinks or stays, then goes away. It does not happen every time...However, I already returned one 2014 MacBook Pro for this issue and now it seems this computer is doing it too. I am running Mavericks 10.9 and to make sure it wasn't anything that I had on the original computer, I did not do a backup from time machine; I reloaded the programs from scratch. I have never had this problem with my macbook air and I have a video of the issue occurring.
    Does anyone else have this problem?
    Thanks!

    I don't think this is going to do the trick, because the iPad hardware has probably been damaged - but did you try rebooting the iPad?
    Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
