Line through iPad 1 screen??

I have an iPad 1 at home, and a couple months ago, I had it in my laptop sleeve with the case on it, and I had books in the regular part, I was thinking my iPad was fine, but when I took it out it had lines going across the screen, and I tried restoring it and I did not work at all. It still has the lines through it, So I believe it is a hardware issue. What could be the problem?

It is possibly stress cracks going thorugh your screen because of the amount of weight you put on it.

Thick black line through iPad 1- will screen replacement work?

There is a 2 inch black line through the width of my iPad 1. iPad is out if warranty and apple genius told me the only fix would be to buy another one. Could I fix this issue through replacing the LCD screen? Any suggestions would help.

Might. Might not. Could be part of the backlight is bad. Could be the equivalent of the graphics card is bad.
Dunno how much your screen replacement is but you may want to weigh that cost against it not working and you paying and still not having a functioning device.

Permanent lines on ipad mini screen

I have had my ipad mini for 2 days. I have noticed that there are permanent lines "burnt" into the screen. In landscape mode the lines are vertical; in portrait, the lines are horizontal. It is really noticeable when viewing dark images or films. It also shows up when viewing web sites on safari.
I don't remember seeing this at first but I've only just got around to putting any pics or films onto the mini. I would post an image but if I do a screen grab, the lines aren't there.

Mine too. Ordered off Apple Online Store, opened box on 25 December, called Apple on 28 December, swapped out for new one at local Apple Store on 29 December. New one is fine. Guys at Apple store didn't argue and confirmed definatley a duff screen. I suspect you might be sorted now given the date of your last post...if not I'd get it returned.
Eh Dash...how long have u had it?..have u asked for a new one...sounds like you're waiting for a repair?

Dark vertical line on iPad mini screen

Has anyone had a dark shaded line running vertically on iPad mini?

First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. It could take well over an hour! Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here. Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

Line on ipad 3 screen from front camera

Ive been looking on the forum but not found anything yet.
I have a line on my screen but only when i use the front camera for pics, skype and facetime. Back cam is good.
It will show on the pic if you take a pic so thinking the lens is busted a bit.
I bought it from comet who are now bust so wondering if There is a fix i can do, other than turn on and off, or if i have to visit an apple store as only bought 3 months ago.
Thanks

Except I didn't buy it from an Apple store and the place I got it from has a "no questions asked" 14 day return policy. Here's a picture that I took. It's a bit harder to see with the screen glare but you can definitely see it.

How to fix grey line on ipad 1 screen

Hello
My ipad 1 has a grey bar across the middle of the screen, ive read this is a problem that alot of people have had. How can this be fixed?
thanks

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
If that doesn't help then there is most likely a hardware failure. Time to replace the iPad with a newer model.

My iphone3gs shuts off when i jump between apps or run certain apps... even with 90 percent it will shut down and shows vertical lines through the black screen... any ideas what this could be?

My iphone 3gs shuts off when flipping to different apps or running certain apps. If it crashes badly I need to plug power to the device to bring it up. This happens whether i have even 90 percent battery life. Any idea as to what this may be?

Sounds like a major hardware problem.
If no change after restoring your iPhone as a new iPhone or not from your iPhone's backup, there is a hardware problem.

Coloured lines through the Ipad screen

Have Ipad 2 now have coloured lines through the screen, no crack screen,.

Possibly a hardware problem, however, have you tried restarting or resetting your iPad?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after It shuts down, press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

My Mac suddenly has white screen and lines through it

My sons Macbook Air has a white screen this morning when he turned it on with colored lines through it. What does this mean? Why did it happen? How can we get it fixed? Please someone help!

Hey bwzdragon,
If your iPad will not start up completely, I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -
If your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch doesn't respond or doesn't turn on - Apple Support
Specifically -
If your device gets stuck during startup
When starting up, you might see the Apple logo or a red or blue screen for a long time, or your device might restart again. Try these steps:
Make sure that you have iTunes 12 or later on your computer.
Put your device in recovery mode.
When you get the option to restore or update, select Update. This will reinstall iOS without erasing your data.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Happy computing,
Brett L

This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:

They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.
Try Groove for iPad. People seem to think it's a great replacement to the previous music app.

I dropped my Iphone 5 which resulted in it shattering and the screen was still on but it was black with only a white line through it so I couldnt access the phone however I switched over to my Droid and now I cannot send or receive messages?

Help?

Then the bottom of the support document states that if you do not have access to the device (which unfortunately because of the screen issue you do not) to contact Apple Care. That is what you need to do.

IMac horizontal lines through screen?

My Late 2009 21.5" iMac seems to be having some sort of graphics problem... when using iMovie/ iDVD for long periods of time, the whole system will freeze and have multi-colored horizontal and diagonal lines through the screen... any one else having this problem??

Hi georgenjr,
It sounds as if you are having issues with the display on your iMac running the server software. I would suggest that you troubleshoot using the steps in this article -

My ipad first gen has loads of coloured lines going across the screen so I can't see any ideas ??

Try a reset: Press and hold both Sleep/Wake and Home buttons until the Apple logo appears.
If that didn't fix things, do a restore:

If that still didn't fix the issue, then there is probably a hardware problem.
