LCD Screen cracked down the middle
My Iphone has what I think a broken LCD screen down the middle. It does not let me unlock the phone to get into the main screen because of that crack down the middle. The outside glass is not shattered or anything. I can only answer calls using my headphone devise but not make calls. Does anyone have any suggestions or do you know whether apple can fix it for free under the warranty. I don't recall dropping it. Thanks.
If it was like that from day one then thats was manufactured wrong and take it back to Apple.
If not then they could blame it on you as abuse, you will not be sure until you try..

My ipod 5 screen flickers down the middle of my screen
i bought my ipod 5th gen back in december. it mostly sits in my car and charges off of my aftermarket cd player. occasionally when it dies ill take it inside and charge it on my wall charger. today it died and i plugged it inside for 2 hours and it would still not turn on. finally when i got it to turn on there is about a 1 inch wide bar flickering from the top to the bottom of the ipod. its not turning black or white its just flickering brighter to lighter. the ipod touch 5 doesnt have auto brightness so i dont know whats going on, please reply if you had this problem and fixed it.
Since it will still be in warranty, I would recommend a visit to the Genius Bar. They will tell you what the issue is here and should have you sorted. http://concierge.apple.com/reservation/gb/en/techsupport/ Your iPod should not be doing what it is doing and also remember to tell them about everything you have stated here. I have included a link to make a reservation above.

My iPad has not been dropped or damaged at all. The screen is grey fuzzy and has coloured lines down the middle. iPad 3 also.
Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:
iOS: Unable to update or restore -
I have a blue veritcal line going down the middle of my screen turned my iMac and it showed up. What can that mean?
Hard to help without knowing which variant of iMac you have. They've been in continuous production since 1998 in four major families, and what works for one familiy of iMac may not work to diagnose one from another family.
Doing "About ths Mac" will show the processor info. Post what it says about your processor (and Mac OS version while you are there) and that will narrow what family of iMac you have.
This forum section is for the three iMac families made before 2006. -
White screen with line down the middle?
My Ipod hit the floor and now all I can see is a white screen with a line down the middle. Do I need to send it in for repair or is there something else I can do to get the screen to work? The music still plays however.
Sounds like a hardware problem. I am not sure if you want to send it to Apple since they are likely to want to charge you almost the replacement cost of the iPod, that is if they will look at it at all.
You might try some of the online iPod repair places. Many are pretty affordable.

Black screen with a thick white vertical line down the middle?
I turned my iPod touch 5 off, it was at about 10%. I turned it back on a few minutes later and there was the apple logo, as usual, but with small white writing on the black background. Then, I plugged it into my charger, and the logo and writing faded away. Instead, there then was a black screen with a thick white vertical line going down the middle, and it seems to be stuck like that. What happened and how do I fix it??
Note: My home button is stuck and does not work. Also, I never updated my iPod to iOS 7.Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
When it says place the iPod in recovery mode,
Place the iPod in recovery mode using one of these programs:

If necessary:

RecBoot may have problems on 64X windows, then 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 another cable
- 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.

My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle
My iPad screen has developed a vertical line down the middle for some reason. I have tried turning it off and resetting it, but the line still appears. Does anyone know what causes this or how it could be rectified?
Hi JoMayo,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If you're noticing lines or distortion on your iPad screen, I would suggest completing step 4 (update iPad) and 5 (restore iPad) in our iPad assistant:

All the best,

My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.
You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

My iPod has a white screen. After holding down the middle and menu button, the screen goes black then back to white and beeps twice. I have returned to original settings and resorted content to no avail. I still have a white screen. I have plugged it up and tried resetting again and again, still a white screen with two beeps - help.
I have the same exact issue. Fifth generation iPod Nano, blank screen, Restore had no effect. I'm running Windows 7 Home, with all software up-to-date. I suspect hardware damage. Any clarification would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device?
Can I disable the LCD screen from displaying the Network Name or Password of my device? I feel that having this information readily available to any who can turn on my device is a security flaw.
I have change the network name and password and would like to secure that information .Worked with VZW tech support and finally found where you can disable or mask the display of the network name and password on the Jetpack LCD screen. You need to access the admin screen of your jetpack (http://my.jetpack/) . From there, navigate to Jetpack Settings --> Click on Wifi tab -- Click on the Wi-Fi Options link halfway down the page and it will show the two settings that control the display of network name and password.
As they say, a picture is worth a thousand words...here are screen shots showing how to get to these settings. ...
The LCD display will show ********* for the network name and password if the two checkboxes above are unchecked. I really think these settings should be disabled to be begin with.
Oh well...posting here to share with those interested... -
I would just like my blog to return to its original format with no line down the middle of the page and the top border going across the entire page not just halfway. This happened immediately after I upgraded to Firefox 6. My blog's format is normal on other computers but not normal on my computer. Thank you.
Can you attach a screenshot and maybe post a link?
*http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Screenshot
Use a compressed image type like PNG or JPG to save the screenshot and make sure that you do not exceed the maximum file size (1 MB).
Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
*<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Zoom_text_of_web_pages
If you have increased the minimum font size then try the default setting "none" as a (too) high value can cause issues.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > Minimum Font Size (none)
Make sure that you allow websites to choose their fonts.
*Tools > Options > Content : Fonts & Colors > Advanced > [X] "Allow pages to choose their own fonts, instead of my selections above"
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Changing+fonts+and+colors
It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with overlapping text. -
For no apparent reason my Mac (2 GHz PowerPC G5) running 10.4.11 has put a mesh-like pattern over the folders on my desktop and also a band of the same pattern across the top of the screen and down the right-hand side over the dock. (See screen grabs below.)
It doesn't affect any operations but makes folder names and drop-down menus difficult to read through the pattern.
I'm not aware of changing any settings so suspect I must have clicked on something without noticing. How do I get rid of the overlaid pattern, please?Information about my computer is as follows:
Machine Name: iMac G5
Machine Model: PowerMac8,2
CPU Type: PowerPC G5 (3.1)
Number Of CPUs: 1
CPU Speed: 2 GHz
L2 Cache (per CPU): 512 KB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed: 667 MHz
