Ipod touch 4G with horizontal white line

Hello, I have a brand new ipod touch 4G. Two days after getting it I was in the middle of looking at some apps and a white line across the screen appeared (horizontal line). I turned off the ipod several time with no change. After looking up what is may be I found it was most likely a bad pixel and there was nothing I could do. I called apple and set up a repair which was about as easy as it could be. The next morning when I got the pod out to take it to UPS, the line was gone. What the heck is going on?

Bad bits sometimes happens. If it recurrs try in order:
- Reset
Reset iPod touch: Press and hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home
button at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Restore the iPod from backup
- Restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod.
If it still recurrs, then yu likely have a hardwre problem and return it to Apple for replacement.

Can you replace a black iPod touch screen with a white iPod touch screen?

I'm bustin' your chops. Some call it humor, some don't have a sense for it....
The real point is Kappy gave you a link to a list of video demonstrations of changing the digitizer to show you that what you intend to do can in fact be done. However, not once but TWICE you questiofed what was freely given to you, and you obviously didn't take the time or make any effort to find out if white framed digitizers are available.
The fact of the matter is, white framed digitizers are available, and rather inexpensively I might add.
My post with the outrageous prices was intended to trigger some of your obviously dormant gray matter into some form of activity that might just resemble intelligent human thought and maybe generate a giggle or two. Guess I was wrong.... But at least now I know why you have a picture of a box of rocks for your avatar....

Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

Can I change the Black colour of my ipod touch 4g with new white one?

You can't get a new color iPod for free. Unless you paint it (which I highly reccomend NOT doing), you must buy a new white iPod touch. You can't trade your iPod touch in for a white one.

IPod touch "done" button have white lines issue

This problem have occured on my iPod Touch 2G MC model running both iOS 4.1 and iOS 4.2.1.
So basically when playing videos from safari, in a game, the ipod app, or anywhere else with a "done" button on the upper left corner, there are two white lines within the button (from where the curve at the edge starts). Not really an issue, but it looks kind of ugly.
Have this happened to anyone else before? Is there a fix? I restored, set up as new ipod several times and would not work.

Since restoring to factory defaults/new iPod did not resolve the problem I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Vision M 30GB started showing horizontal white lines over LCD

Everything was perfect since couple days ago. I have taken out my creative Zen Vision M 30G from its case then turned on and seen that all over the screen covered with horizontal white lines. Nothing has happened to the player. Not dropped or put it under heavy things or etc.
I resetted used recovery tool and re-install firmware but nothing had helped.
I am in Turkey right now but I have bought it from USA.
I contaced with Creative support and they do not want to do anything such as repair or replacement because I have had my player little over 3 years as of now (EOSL). But my player has used really gently it even has its original screen protector on it.
I did not cause this it was just happened out of nowhere...Lots of other comments and topics show that it is a some kind of harware mulfunction that the creative should stand behind.....
Any help or idea....

Horizontal White Line Right Across Screen iPod Classic 120GB

I bought an Apple iPod Classic 120GB 14 months ago. I have looked after it very carefully (it hasn't even left the house) and only used it sparingly. Last week an annoying horizontal white line appeared right across the screen. I have tried all the recommended including resetting it.
Having trawled the internet forums and asked at my local Apple franchise dealer this seems to be a common fault with the screen hardware. I gather I can expect more line to appear over the next few weeks. I followed Apple's online repair procedure and once I ticked the box for 'screen problem' there is another drop down box with about 4 options. One of these refers to horizontal or vertical lines across the screen so Apple must be aware of this fault. At the next stage I was advised that I must pay approx £95 before the iPod could be repaired or replaced.
I subsequently phoned their Customer Services Department in India to ask why I was being charged so much for what was clearly a manufacturing fault and was told that they had no authority to offer discounts for repairs. Having asked to speak to someone who could help I was put through to Apple in Ireland.
The person I spoke to again repeated that Apple would only repair the iPod if I paid £95. He claimed it was a very rare problem but they were aware of it. I suggested that if this was true, surely they would want to replace or repair the iPod free of charge or at least for a reasonable price. The answer to this was no. I asked how long they expected iPods to last as 14 months did not seem very long. He said that he couldn't answer my question. I would have thought that it was reasonable to expect a life cycle of nearer 5 years for an high quality mp3 player. I feel that if an iPod fails after only 14 months it is hardly fit for purpose.
Has anyone else experienced this?

this is the exact same problem as mine (mine is classic 80GB) :[
it started happening out of nowhere, for no reason too. it happened 10 days ago, and ive had it for 2 years 3 months
in addition to the line across my screen, there are some scattered dots above it that move around everytime i turn off my ipod and turn it back on, which is really odd and at first funny but now just very sad.
please please tell me if you find a solution (minus the huge fix cost), and/or email me at [email protected]

PDF displays as grey with a horizontal white line

I have a 4MB PDF of a family tree generated by MacFamilyTree. It is about 350 pages if printed. I can view it using Apple's Preview program and Firefox (24.0). However, if I try to view it using Acrobat Reader (11.0.04) all I get is a grey screen with a white horizontal line. I can use "Save as..." from Acrobat Reader and save a new PDF. The new PDF can be viewed just fine in Preview and Firefox, but NOT in Acrobat Reader.
Relatives on Windows XP and 7 have the same problem of not being able to view the PDF, seeing just a white page. Some can view it inside their web browsers; some cannot. Some can view it using Acrobat Reader (no idea which versions); some cannot, seeing the grey page with a white line.
I sent the PDF file to MacFamilyTree for help, but they said that the problem is with Acrobat Reader and no the PDF itself. Screen shots of the same file opened in Acrobat Reader (top) and Preview (zoomed in - bottom) are below. Any suggestions on how to get a PDF to display in Acrobat Reader?

In the Print Dialogue, choose "Save as AdobePDF" instead of "Save as PDF". Save as PDF saves as a Preview PDF which is why it works in Preview and in Firefox's PDFJS viewer (which ISN'T Adobe based)

My ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots, I have restored it but it is still white. It shows in ITunes but I cant do anything with it. Can anyone help please

My Ipod touch screen has gone white with bright white spots on it. I have restored it and it shows in ITunes but the screen is still white. Is there anything I can do? The warranty has run out so I will have to pay for any repairs (if it can be repaired). Any help would be much appreciated. Thank you in advance.

If you still have problems after restoring the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod then you very likely have a hardware problem. I would make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems

Another New IPod Touch Owner with Wi-fi Problems.
I have been working at this for about 4 hours now with no success and I am getting pretty frustrated, so if it show up in my typing please ignore it. I just don't understand why these multi-million dollar companies can't write a manual or put up a web site that can actually help someone with a problem.
Ok, venting aside.
I am running a gateway computer.
Operating System = XP
Router = Linksys WRT54G
I have two other computers that are working fine with the existing wireless net work and have been for some time.
I'm pretty good with my computer but haven't touched my router since initial set-up and all that was done was a basic set up.
My I-pod is searching for a network and I'm three feet away from it but it doesn't find it.
I printed out my wireless setting. I presume SSID name equals the name box on the ipod-touch
Security = WEP
What seems to be kicking my A$$ is the password. The route setting have never been changed so I would pesume the password should be the default "admin" which I put in (JOIN) and get the "Could not find network" screen
So, I have perused this message board trying to discover and answer to mine, and and apparently many others question with no definitive results.
So I guess what I and everybody else needs is a step by step how to guide on how to discover the info needed and enter in what we need to make this work.
Thanks in advance to anybody that can actually help with this issue. A step by step do this would be nice.

Thank you Terpfen for replying, and please excuse my ill temper earlier. I've calmed down some now.
Step: 1 followed step one previously, Main screen, settings, Wi-Fi. Also set power down to 5 min to give I-Pod plenty of time to find network.
Wi-Fi Network Screen.
Wi-Fi ON
Choose a Network (searching indicator) symbol spinning.
Other ...
Ask to Join Networks ON
At this point the I-pod does not find any networks available. The indicator just spins but never returns any results. I am 3 feet for my WRT54G router.
Hence the easy connect isn't connecting.
The next step. is to manually set-up the connection.
Main screen, setting, Wi-Fi, Other.
press "Other" which brings up two fields
Name __________
Security ___________
First Question? Which Name are they looking for. when I went to my router 192.168.1.1 It has the name linksys. However, when I go to my Wireless Network setting it has the name * ???? * which is different than Linksys router.
Now, since one of the goals here is file sharing I presume I should be using the Wireless Network settings name. (which I have tried.)
Next is security, Wireless Network setting indicate setting for WEP Once this is selected you then back-up to the "Enter Network Setting Screen" and you now have a password line added.
Now I have never set a password for the router so the password for the router is the default Password "admin" And I don't recall ever setting a password for my network setting. But, I only use about three different passwords and a cycled through them still with no success.
So, I need some expert advise on how and where to find the info to input into the required field to work or what I need to reset in my router to make this work.
Thanks again for anyone who has constructive input to resolve my and probably many other peoples issues with this problem.

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.

I am getting horizontal white lines one inch apart when I print an Ai file

I am getting horizontal white lines one inch apart when I print an Ai file

*White lines 1" apart showing up on my printouts*~
It is a NEW Epson 1430. However, I have horizontal thin white lines across my prints. (13x19in Paper) I've cleaned the heads, ran a test print, realigned and then reprinted - I keep getting the same white lines in exactly the same places.
I’m printing an AI file in Illustrator and the lines don't show up on my screen. Is there something wrong with the data? I am going to do more experiments to try and identify exactly what conditions cause this problem.
Thank you for your help!

IPod touch 4g with ios 5 music crash

My brand new ipod touch 4g with ios 5 on it crashes when i'm trying to access the lockscreen when i'm playing music.
It also crashes sometimes when it wants to go to the next song in a album.
I've tried a hard reset, but it didn't work
an someone help me???

That doesn't work either, because every time that I try to do it, when i push the Sleep/Wake button for a long time, it doesn't work, and when i hold the Sleep/Wake button ánd the Home-button, like the page 'Unable to update or restore' says, my screen turns black/white real quick, and then it begins with rebooting again.

Strange horizontal white line

I just started up my G4 ( tower ) double mirror face and have come across the strangest thing. I have this 1 in long horizontal white line that follows just down and to the right of my cursor.It doesnt matter where I place the cursor the line follows.Running 10.3 and have never had this show up.

I agree with BDAqua!
If you run that test you might notice your VRAM Test Fail.
This usually means that your video card is dead and needs to be replaced.
If this is not the case, then I would make sure you are using correct/updated graphics drivers, as these artifacts near your cursor are usually directly related to your graphics card and/or drivers.
When something similar happened to my powermac G4 MDD about 4 years ago, I was able to find an ATI Radeon 9600 at Fry's Electronics that works on both PC/Mac. It only has 256MB VRAM, but I was able to throw a card in quickly and keep going!
Unfortunately, there seems to be little selection for a mac that old. You may have to search elsewhere for a compatible card now.
Please post your test results so that someone may help you further.
