Ipod to tv white/black fuzzy lines

please help and advise if im doing something wrong.i have the ipod setting on tv set to on,set at pal(have tried ntsc still same)when i plug ipod into tv to watch video/photos all i get is black/white fuzzy lines across screen,thought at first cable faulty but have now tried a second cable still the same issue.what am i doing wrong has anyone had same problem and sorted it.please advise...thanks

there will always be ways to get around purchasing something from apple for those who are so inclined. the link i included above shows the difference in wiring, and sure, you can swap / rewire / cut / change your existing cables if you like. it shows you how to wire to an ibook av cable which is the same as a standard DV from what i understand. it's your ipod, and you can plug whatever you like in it.
me, i personally like to use things the way they are intended, and unless there is a third party, informally endorsed version that does it better, i like to kee it in the family. the ipod is (as the rest of the apple family) an expression of style and a design statement. it's for the same reason i wouldn't want to have a black cord connecting my ears to my music - the white cord(s) are part of the (admittedly grandiose) ipod brand and culture. i don't only use mine in my living room, but for presentations in boardrooms too, and the entire package from my pocket is more impressive than an old lumpy laptop...
it's personal preference. but IMHO, if you can spring for the apple AV's, i would do it...

  • IPhone 4, Display is broken, white, black, grey lines

    Sorry if this is in the wrong place!
    My problem is very hard to understand, basically, I cannot use my iPhone. The screen is 'wobbling', it is 'flashing', has turned white, grey and black! Help!
    A few weeks ago I did crack the screen, I haven't fixed it yet because its not all over the screen, only at the bottom. I've had no issues until yesterday morning. First, the internet page I was on started to wobble, then the display itself completely changed. The actual iPhone is ok, I have been able to access it on iTunes, for example to sync it and restore, although I can't use the iphone. I have no idea what to do. I have tried resetting and restoring.
    What can I do? I guess I am going to have to go to a shop tomorrow to sort it out, can it be saved?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Look for a 3rd party repair shop that can fix it in your area. It wouldn't be covered by warranty anyway.

  • My ipod screen is white, and has lines on the side of it. I can still touch and i can see but this is quite annoying anyway to fix it?

    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:

    - 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 am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo

    I am going to sell my second generation ipod touch, so i resetted it to factory defaults. It said it would take up to an hour, and i patiently waited. But when the black and white loading bar completed, the ipod went to the black screen with an apple logo on it. Sounds about right, right? But now, there is a processing circle on top of the logo, but the circle spins once, and stops at about halfway to the bottom. It just stays there, and about every half to one hour it becomes a white screen and starts all over again. (not the loading bar part, just the circle). I've tried holding the power and the home button, and it works, but it just goes back to the circle screen with the apple logo. HELP PLEASE?

  • My iPod Touch 4G's screen has gone white and has lines on the screen. How do I fix it? Help!

    Hello everyone,
    I've had an iPod Touch 4th generation for a few years now, and, today, for the first time, the screen has gone white and their are vertical lines on it. What happened was I accidentally dropped my iPod Touch on tile and it landed on its back. I tried it out right afterwards to see if it was still working and it seemed like it was perfectly fine. Later on, I got an email from one of my friends, so I slid the email button on the lock screen to see the email. In the email, there was a link to a gif image, so I opened it in Safari. After I was done with it, I closed that tab. I also had a second tab open from earlier, so I wanted to close that tab as well. When I clicked on the button to see all tabs and close one, the screen completely froze. I held on to the on/off button on the top of the iPod, and, after about a minute, the screen switched to a completely white screen with lines on it. I've tried holding onto the on/off button again and it doesn't work. I also tried plugging it into my Windows 7 computer and opening iTunes, but my computer doesn't even recognized it is plugged in. It won't appear under the "computer" section in Windows Explorer, which will allow me to do USB-related tasks with it. iTunes doesn't recognize that it is plugged in either, so I can't do anything like restore the iPod to factory settings. The home button on my iPod hasn't been working for a while so i've always been using the accessibility feature that gives me a home button on the screen. Now that I can't access that, I can't hold down both the on/off button and the home button at the same time. What should I do? Should I send it in to Apple for repairs (which I won't do and would rather buy a new iPod Touch)? I am thinking of just leaving it to, hopefully, have the battery drain and the iPod would die. Then, I could charge it and see what happens. Other than that, i'm just clueless right now and I have no idea what I should do. Please help me!

  • IPod screen is white with lines

    HELP! HELP! anyone?
    Hi guys i have a problem that i have never experienced before, here goes...i have a 30GB 5th generation iPod, i was playing music when i deceided to sync so music, When i connected it to the PC the screen just went *white with lines across the screen* as though the display was damaged. The lines were showing different colours because the logo "DO NOT DISCONNECT" was attempting to show.
    I tried restarting & restoring my iPod but that didn't work, when i restarted it the screen was tring to display the "APPLE" Logo after it was booting up, the screen was dark as usual when u restart it but with lines across and when the main screen came up it was white with the lines. Now the next weird thing that happened was when i turned off the iPod and then turned it back on the screen was back to normal, when i turned it off and on again the problem returned, if i leave it off for about *1-2 minutes* and i turn it on its fine but when i turn it off & on the problem returns.
    Besides the problem with the lines on the screen the ipod is working ok, can anyone please assist with with the huge problem? i don't know what to do...HELP ME!

    Just experienced the same problem yesterday and left with two white lines across the screen and 1/3 from the top of the screen.

  • White and black vertical lines

    I Have the iPhone 5. It has been in a case since the day I bought it. It is 2 months out of warranty and I got white and black vertical lines while I was laying in bed. My friend tried checking my screen and replaced it with a working screen and it did the same thing so it wasn't the screen. Took my phone to Apple they said it's the screen and I have to pay $130 to fix it even with it out of warranty..... Lady standing next to me had the same problem they plugged it in fixed it and she was on her way with it. What is wrong with my phone? What should I do?

    and one more thing, itunes cannot read my device i did that for 20-30 sec but it won't turn on

  • Preview Printing Negative Images - White text and lines on black background

    Desperate for help here. After upgrading to Tiger, I have more instances when Preview displays a PDF correctly but prints certain pages with images, such as graphs and technical figures, as negatives, that is, white text and line art on a black background. Is there any way I can fix this? Any advice would be most appreciated.

    I was trying to scan from a Lexmark X5250 into Preview so that I could fax a signed document to a company.
    When I chose "To be faxed", with Preview TIFF program under 10.4.6 (combo) (PPC), the document appeares in Preview as a white-on-black (negative) in Preview's open window.
    A work-around seems to be that one selects "To be printed", then prints from Preview, then selects (in the lower-left corner drop-down-menu) "Fax PDF". (Unfortunately, the modem still won't hang-up properly -- is this because of my ADSL filter on the fax phone-line? ).

    My Ipod touch displays white lines across my entire screen.  I've turned it on and off and it still hasn't cleared up.HELP!?!

    Try the standard fixes:
    - Reset. Nothing is 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
    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 mac screen comes out with white fuzzy lines going across the screen, it used to just go back to normal and out of no where it freezes and the white fuzzy lines go across the screen. Now it is frozen at the opening screen. what do i do?

    My mac screen is frozen with white fuzzy lines going across the screen. I shut it off and turn it back on but it still remains white fish lines on the start up screen. I've tried revolting it, it works sometimes but now its stuck at the starting screen. I have been at this for 2 hours to try and fix it but nothing has changed about the screen. What do I do, if I break this computer I'm screwed.

    I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

  • My ipod has two thin black lines running across the screen. What causes this, and is there a fix?

    Suddenly, my Classic ipod got two narrow, black lines runnings horizontally across the screen.  Will thes eventually go away or is the screen damaged?
    Thanks!

    It might also be a good idea to let the iPod's battery fully drain. Then charge it back up and restore it once more in iTunes.
    Otherwise, it's likely a hardware issue with the iPod's LCD display, meaning you'll need to take or send your iPod in for service either via Apple or a third party repair service. Here is Apple's repair pricing.
    http://www.apple.com/support/ipod/service/prices/
    Note that they don't actually repair the device, but exchange it for one of the same generation, model, and capacity.  A third party service will actually replace the damage part for a little less.  Google "iPod screen repair" and you should get a number of results to work with.
