Ipod touch4 grey screen darkgrey horizontal lines

well my ipod was in my backpack in the nice pocket with my phone then just like 2 hours later i took it out and the screen is grey and sometimes has darker grey horizontal lines i tried the reset stuff, tried pluggin it in to boot but nothing works! very frustrated just got it 3 weeks ago

It's most likely nothing, espcially as it's not manifesting anywhere or any time else. My guess is that they're artifacts from resolution changes as your system boots.

The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

I have the new ipad and when I stretch the screen a horizontal line appears when I scroll whatever page or location I am on. The line is not there if the screen is minimised. Any solutions?

I can't personally as I never really liked nor used the picture frame feature in iPad. Just search in the App Store and read customer reviews and you'll likely find something you'll like.

Screen Sharing (10.6 viewing 10.5) shows a screen of horizontal lines

I use Screen Sharing 1.1.1 on 10.6.4 to access my iBook G4 and my wife's Power Mac G4 (both running 10.5.8).
A week ago I attempted to view the G4 screen. Instead of the normal display, Screen Sharing showed a screen of colored horizontal lines of varying heights. There were a few random blocks with different color lines. Nothing on the screen was recognizable.
The same display problem just occurred with an iChat screen sharing session (iChat 5.0.3 viewing iChat 4.0.8 on the G4). Restarting the G4 cleared up the problem.
My search of Apple Discussions has not turned up a report of this problem.
-- Ward

Hi,
I have not seen this either.
I have 10.5.8 on my G4 and a MacBook Pro running Snow Leopard.
I have heard of issues and can recreate them if my G4 has a second Monitor/screen connected and Mirroring is not On as the iChat Screen Share tries to fit both on to the Shared view (i.e two Screens wide instead of only one.)
I presume the Screen Sharing app would be the same.
Do the G4 users have the Screen Zoomed or any other option set in Universal Access ?
Does changing the resolution in System Preferences > Displays change anything ?

Screen Distortion (Horizontal lines) Across Display

For quite some time now my Macbook display has had horizontal lines along the right side of it. These lines go from the very top to the bottom and are about an inch or two in width. Sometimes goes away when i have a Pages document open. But is constantly there otherwise.
I have attached a link to a picture to better show the problem.

If you have already had a case number with Apple for this issue and it is not resolved, you ought to be able to have it serviced. Call AppleCare and reference the old case number, and explain that the first fix did not fix the problem, and because you brought this to Apple's attention before your warranty expired, they should still do the repair for free.
You can test for whether it is faulty RAM by pulling out one stick at a time and testing whether the lines persist.
Good luck!

Can't reset my systeem admin account and all startpunt options respons with a grey screen, lock and line for password

i bought a 2nd hand iMac 21'5, 2010. First I installed Mavericks and entered a password which I forgot, and did not activate my appleid at that time.
when trying to install a new bought program, I had to enter the sys adm acoount password which I had forgotten.
TRied the options found on internet, but did not have a mavericks startup disk. downloaded Mavericks again and then tried to creatie a startpunt disk. did not work as mavericks immediately started with the installation.
Got the original Mac os X cd from the person I brought the iMac from, but now found that I cannot use the CMD r option. then my Mac opens with a grey screen, a lock and only allow a password input.
None of the startup options (eg d) are working anymore and or end up in the grey startup screen asking a password or just ingenomen the request and starts the Mac and is fully operational without full access to the systeem functions (as these require the systeem password which I forgotten). However my Mac still starts and I use mail and internet Ans all other installed programs. but I cannot create an account as I do not know the sys adm. password.
When using terminal and give the command mountain -uw / I receive the reply:
GetMasterBlock: Error 13 opening /dec/rdisk0s2
mount-hfs: Operation not permitted.
CAn somebody help me how to reset my system, even if this means I loose all data? I bought all software in the iStore, so asume I can re-install it anyway.

Ask the person you bought it from for the firmware password and supply that into the box. You'll then be able to use the Option key shortcut and can get into the recovery partition to reset the administrator password.

Ibook screen with horizontal lines

Hi
My sons G4 Ibook has horizontal lines top and bottom and corrupt icons / two mouse cursers - please help can I fix this please?
thanks
Roy
see pic here => http://i531.photobucket.com/albums/dd354/redwoodpc/IMAG0005.jpg

Hey Roy,
Most likely the problem is that the ball grid array (BGA) on the graphics chip (GPU) has become detached. It has been posted that this can happen and the output to the external monitor is unaffected which runs counter to the common test.
Pressure on the GPU can fix this problem for a period of time. Since the GPU sits under a large heat sink in the G4 pressure is best applied from underneath.
Post the exact size and CPU speed for an exact position of the GPU.
A permanent fix would involve reballing of the GPU.
If pressure from under the GPU makes the problem go away this would confirm the diagnosis.

MacBook Pro 17'' Early 2011 Screen Strange Horizontal lines in some colors

Hello guys,
I've just got my new Flagrant MacBook Pro 17'' Sandy Bridge i7 2.3Ghz 8GB SSD512 with Glossy screen and is amazing.... But...
I am incredibly disappointed with the quality of the screen (or maybe the videocard?) I come from the previous generation MacBook Pro i7 15inches and the quality of the screen was superb. Now on this new 17'' screen I see some wired horizontal (very tiny) lines in bright colors (very difficult to notice by an untrained, not to hock to perfection eye). This was actually the first thing I saw when booting my mac for the first time as the gray apple appeared not to have a perfect gray color. First thing I did was going to an Apple Retail store we have here in Barcelona (Catalonia) and strangely the MacBook that was in there had a very similar issue. Is not something you can easily notice, but if you look close to the screen you can see this lines. I am not really an expert, so I don't know if this could be a problem of the videocard (does ATI cards have less image quality than nVIdia?) or is a reduction of quality of the 17'' screen compared to the 15''?
I am very annoyed by this, and I am considering to return my laptop as I'm really not getting used to it. Does anybody know if this affects all new MacBook Pro's 17''?
I'll try to get a camera with a macro to upload a picture and give you an example.
Thank you guys.

This guys is having EXACTLY the same problem that I detected:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/10624006#10624006
And his explanation is quite clear
(copied from this post)
Description: Every other horizontal pixel row appears brighter than the alternate, creating a scan-line style effect that also contributes to the washing out of the display. In seemingly random "luck of the draw" machines, lines can either be highly visible or not be present at all.
In displays where it is faint, you may not notice, but once you become aware of it is a real problem if you work closely with your computer, and graphics.
This appears to be the same issue that has been widely reported in the past with Macbook Air computers.
The three computers that I have had this issue with:
1 - Glossy, 9C99, lines visible even from three feet away.
2 - Glossy, 9C99, lines about half the visibility
3 - Matte, 9CAC, lines again about half the visibility of #1
I have also had 3 glossies and 1 matte that have not had these lines at all. 3 Unibody 15" MBPs have also not had any such lines. I have also been unable to detect these lines on any non-Apple computers I have observed, nor any of Apple's other models or displays.
I put a 17" Matte without the lines next to one with the lines and attempting to take photos, but could not get them to turn out at all for a variety of annoying reasons (unclear image, moire effects, etc). I was however able to take extremely close macro shots and there is a difference visible in the pixel arrangements, apparently.
Who else has this one their display?
Thanks

IMac (early 2008) won't boot past grey screen and has lines going vertical.

I have an early 2008 iMac that won't boot up past the grey apple screen. I've tried booting from the install CD to no avail and it also will not load my windows partition (boot camp). I've reset all the things I think I can reset and also tried starting in safe mode with no luck. Has anyone experienced this before and if so, how did you fix it?? I suppose I should note as well that the ram has been upgraded to 4gb (myself). It worked great for quite a while then I periodically got the lines along with a frozen screen but usually a restart fixed it. I'm up against a wall with it now and short of taking it in to the genius bar (closest one is almost 3 hours away) I don't know what else to do.
Any thoughts?
P.S. I've attached a picture of the lines. It gets to here and then freezes.

I suppose I should note too that when I try to boot from the CD, the screen dims and tells me to restart after a minute or so.

Equium P200D-139 screen with horizontal lines

I have a Toshiba Equium P200D-139 laptop and the screen stopped working.
It lights up but the display consists of vertical lines, which slowly fade into a black screen.
I tried it on an external monitor and it worked fine, (so presumably cannot be a faulty graphics card/motherboard). So, I thought it was likely to be either be the inverter or the screen itself.
After trying a new inverter with no success, I bought another second hand screen.
However, the new screen has the exact same problem with the horizonal lines display.
Just occassionally, I catch a glimpse of a partial Vista screensaver for a split second but then its back to black. Im not a technophobe, so any info would be very much appreciated.
Please help, as it is driving me up the wall!

>I tried it on an external monitor and it worked fine, (so presumably cannot be a faulty graphics card/motherboard). So, I thought it was likely to be either be the inverter or the screen itself.
Right. I think the issue is related to the display
>However, the new screen has the exact same problem with the horizonal lines display.
Well, it could be possible that the second screen is faulty too if you bought this as second hand part then it could be possible that you bought a screen which does not work properly.
What to say; its difficult to say what you should do as next. Buying a new screen and to check this again? Well, I think I would visit the next computer repair store and would ask for checking the display.
I think this is the best solution in your case

Screen Problems horizontal lines

Hi,
since I use Windows 7 X64 on my T500 2241, I have problems with many horizontal small lines on the display. The same I have on an external monitor. With Win XP 32 bit I never had such problems on this computer.
May this problem is related to the video driver. I'm using: Intel Mobile 4 Series express chipset driver version 8.15.10.2302. I have made the latest bios update for my computer.
Nothing helps. Is there an better idea?
Many thanks
Michael

Hi,
The latest dmps show that the crash is probably caused by : atikmpag.sys which is driver for ATI Graphic Card, I would suggest you update to the latest graphic crad driveror just reinstall as a test, you can manually look for the driver in the manufacture
website.
And this is the requirements to run World of Tanks

Would like to share it with you

MSI R9 270X Hawk Grey Screen of Death

I have the MSI R9 270X Hawk graphics card. Recently this error occurred randomly a grey screen with horizontal lines . It occurs when I try to run a game, also it will randomly occur when the PC is just idling doing nothing, it renders the computer unusable, only 'fix' is to uninstall the 270x video drivers and run the computer with the motherboard graphics. I have the Corsair TX 650 as my power supply. I read somewhere that it might be a PSU issue but I do not believe that to be the case, it is either a driver issue or a bad card. However, for the past 3 weeks I have been running my games fine, (Tomb Raider, BF4, GTAIV, Assassins Creed 4) all on high settings, with no problems. I included a screenshot of the graphics information as well as the OS and ram etc, also a text file with all the detailed information.

Any information on a fix would be greatly appreciated.

Ok, sorry about that.
Currently seem to have a Grey Screen whenever I boot the desktop with the graphics card installed.
1. I tried system restore to see if it was a program causing the grey screen, but same problem.
2. Tried installing the cd version of the AMD drivers same problem.
3. Installed the latest version of the driver, as well as, beta version same problem.
4. Removed the graphics card and put it back in booted up, same problem.
5. Also tried the Molex Cables that came in the box to different power supply on the PSU, same problem.

The horizontal line has been appiered at the bottom of the touch screen. In addition to that problem the screen starts blinking after 3-5 minutes of use. I bought it 4 months ago.

Please help me to resolve a problem with my iPod touch. It has horizontal line at the bottom of the screen and screen starts blinking after 3 minutes of use. It's so frustrating as I bought just 4 months ago and didn't even think tha apple products have such defects.

All electical producs have defects. Apple products are not immune.
To rule out a software problem try:
- A reset. Nothing will be 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 still problem make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store. If the iPod is defective you will walk out with a replacment.
