Lines all over the screen?!

Help! I've had my nano since february but recently it seems to be deteriorating! About a month ago there was a single line across the screen, which I thought no further about.
But i accidentally put it into disk mode this morning and didn't have time to change it back. When i returned, there are now about 6 or 7 lines across my screen! Just like white lines, so the text is broken and stuff.
Does anyone know why this is? And is there anyway I can fix it or do I have to send it away to be fixed?
Thanks

I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green.

I updated my iMac to 10.7.3 and about an hour later the screen began to flicker with a gray line on the upper side, and it also flicker green and red small pixel lines all over the screen, mainly green. The computer froze with these pixels, so I shut it off and restarted it, and there were this green lines everywere. So I turned it off, and the next day I turned it on and it began to work just fine, but suddenly the same thing happened again, and when I restart the computer again there are these green and some red pixels everywere.
I've read 10.7.3 is giving people many problems, but I never saw that it gave one like this. How can I fix this, or what will Apple do to fix this problem they caused me with their update.
Thanks

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

My ipod has lines all over the screen and would there be any way to get that fixed?

My I pod touch has lines all over the screen and I was wondering if there would be any way to get that fixed?

Try the standard fixes to rule out a hardware problem:
- 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 stil problem you very likely have a hardware problem.
Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:

A third-party place may be less expensive. Here is one.

When i open my computer I get the white screen with apple symbol and there are vertical lines all over the screen with green pixels and after a few minutes the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer what happens

3 years ago I bought an IMac Desktop that I am using for a lot of things but the most important for dvd montage in Imovies and Idvd.
Now today when I opened my computer I get as usual the white screen with the Apple symbol but there were all over the screen vertical lines with green pixels and after a while the screen gets grey and I get message to restart my computer using the power button or the restart button and when I do so each time the same is happening somebody can tell me what is happening and what caused this. This computer is my work and now I have no income anymore.
On the Apple support site they are asking to enter the serial number and when I do so I get message it is wrong but it is the only one I have and I buy this computer in Cairo Egypt. I am living in Hurghada in Egypt for the moment. When I call the technical support of the shop where I buy it they are telling me that it is the hard disk or ram and that I probably lost everything on it and they are asking a big amount to repair.
Can somebody advise me on this matter. Thanks in advance

You can find the serial number either in About this Mc in the Menu bar under the , or it should be on a sticker under the foot of the machine.
If you have the install discs, try booting from them, holding down the c key and then using Disk Utility to check the drive.
You can also boot into Safe mode
To start up into Safe Mode (to "Safe Boot"), do this:
   1. Be sure the computer is shut down.
   2. Press the power button.
   3. Immediately after you hear the startup tone, press and hold the Shift key.
      Tip: The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone but not before.
   4. Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple and progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.2 through 10.3.9, you will see "Safe Boot" on the Mac OS X startup screen.
During the startup in Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you will see "Safe Boot" on the login window, which appears even if you normally log in automatically.
Please post back with results,
To leave Safe Mode in any version of Mac OS X, restart the computer normally, without holding any keys during startup.

Hi, my Macbook Pro just shut down for no reason. Before, there were black lines all over the screen. Then it shut down and it started to make beeps (3). What can I do?!

I was using my computer just as usual, I was on Microsoft Words and doing lectures on the Internet. Then, out of nowhere, the screen froze and black lines appeared all over the screen and the computer shut down. The screen was all black, but I think it was still open because my laptop was doing sounds, three beeps. When it beeps, the little light that shows you when your laptop is open is bright, so the beeps and the light are synchronized. AND I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO, help me!!!

There is a hardware problem. Possibly bad RAM. Please make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.

Light blue lines all over the screen & if I need to buy new...?

I am taking my Powerbook G4 to our Mac store on Monday. I use it with a Viewsonic monitor, and yesterday, there were suddenly faint offset blue lines on the whole screen. You can really see it where it used to be white. So set up the monitor to a different computer and it was fine. It is the computer. Maybe the screen? Or maybe a graphics chip? I really don't know how that works.
Any ideas what it might be?
My second question would be. This laptop is 4-1/2 years old. I use it all day long as I sell on ebay and etsy. The main things that I do are email, photo editing, and some games that I download from Bigfish, such as Ravenhurst.
Would I be good going with a Mac Mini since I already have a monitor and just bought a new keyboard about a week ago? Or the smaller Imac. I am on very limited space and even the smaller Imac will crowd my cubbie area a bit, it would not fit under my lowest shelf.
Thank you for any help you can offer.

My current Powerbook is Processor 1.67 GHz
Memory 1GB DDR2 SDRAM

ITunes has weird lines all over the screen, then crashes.

Installed iTunes 8.0.1 and it's got the same configuration troubles. It happened when I installed iTunes 8 but I just did the whole regedit solution and changed permissions. Have tried doing that for 8.0.1 and I can change all the permissions the right way but it still does not fix the problem. Have also tried finding and replacing the iTunes.exe in Program Files but either I'm blind or it's just not there because I can't find it anywhere. The only way I can get into iTunes is by plugging my iPod in, it opens iTunes without prompting a restart of the computer. However, this lasts between 10-15 minutes before the interface just changes, it gets lines where the columns are and all the album artwork in the Genius sidebar is replaced with 'Cannot Find' symbols. At this point iTunes crashes and I have to close it and plug my iPod in again to get it to come back up. What in the blue **** is going on?

Bump!
I'm also seeing some weird lines across the screen before itunes crashes. It happens after an hour or so of using itunes. I'm using Vista with iTunes v8.0.2.20. Any suggestions? Could it be the size of the library (~65,000)?

Look as if you're having a GPU glitch. If I were you, I'd take the computer into your local Apple Store and run extensive diagnostics on it. You can do a basic hardware check yourself, using the Apple Hardware Test.
Good luck,

Premiere Pro CS3: How do I get rid of hundreds of short horizontal lines all over the screen?

I have taken over a high school computer lab. We have Premiere Pro CS3. The Premiere Window gets peppered with many hundreds of horizontal dashes that interfere with readability. The dashes are uniformly about 16 pixels long and two or three pixels thick. They seem random in how many appear at any time. If I resize the window, they diminish and then come back. Occasionally they are gone completely. They never appear outside of the Premiere window. These dashed lines do not appear with other programs. We use Photoshop, Illustrator, and many other programs with no problem.See the attached image.
The machines have Pentium(R) 4 2.80 ghz; 2 gigs ram; Nvidia graphics card Gforce 8400 GS.
I have never run across this behavior before. I would appreciate any help. Thanks,
Geo Monley

Probably a bad video card - or a bad video driver. First, try to reinstall the video driver. If that doesn't work, replace the card.

Sounds like a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

What else do I do when it freezes up and lines show up all over the screen?

I'll show you what I mean.
(Was watching a music video)
Whenever I watch a video/tv show I can see the video clear at first,but after a couple of seconds my iPod freezes up and lines show up and spread all over the screen. I already reseted it. I did that a couple of times already. What else should I do?
I just bought my 30gb iPod Video on Monday. Should I return it? What happens if I do? Exchange it for a good one? What will it cost me?
I'm sorry if this topic has already been posted before,I'm new to this forum,so I don't really know.
I need help while it's still early.

Red horizontal lines appearing all over the screen accompanied with beeping

Today I had the weirdest of issues on my Macbook Pro (early-2011 13 inch core i5 hd 3000), while using Chrome, suddenly red horizontal lines appeared all over the screen with beeping sounds coming from the computer. I had to hard reset my macbook to make them go away. BTW I am on ML 10.8.2 and this is the second time I have had an issue after installing the updates, Digital Camera RAW update 4.04 and Airport utilitly 6.02. I have also installed the SMC update that was released earlier this month. A couple of days ago my macbook got stuck while shutting down and I had to close it manually and today this happened. Please tell me that this is not a hardware related issue because my warranty has expired

I ran the extended test and thankfully "No trouble was found" . Should I now report this to Apple Support, maybe there is a problem with the updates I have installed?
Here is the result of that test (the image uploading thingy inverted this image):

New Radeon 5870 graphic card putting graphics all over the screen

Just put in Radeon 5870 on a early 2009 Mac Pro running the latest every thing with a Mac screen. It starts up well and then graphic lines all over the place and bits of the screen missing. Is it the card, the Mac or could it be me.

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

I have a first generation iPad and the screen went completely green on me and locked up. I was able to unlock it, but now there's a green haze all over the screen. Anyone know what the issue could be and how I can get it fixed?

Try this - Reset the iPad by holding down on the Sleep and Home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons. (This is equivalent to rebooting your computer.)
Out-of-Warranty Service
If you own an iPad that is ineligible for warranty service but is eligible for Out-of-Warranty (OOW) Service, Apple will replace (Apple doesn't repair) your iPad with an iPad that is new or equivalent to new in both performance and reliability for the Out-of-Warranty Service fee listed below. (The replacement will most likely be a refurbished iPad in a brown box, however, it has a new screen, back and battery.)
iPad model
Out-of-Warranty Service Fee
iPad mini
$219
iPad 3rd, 4th generation
$299
iPad 2, iPad
$249
A $6.95 shipping fee will be added if service is arranged through Apple and requires shipping. All fees are in US dollars and are subject to local tax.
Certain damage is ineligible for out-of-warranty service, including catastrophic damage, such as the device separating into multiple pieces, and inoperability caused by unauthorized modifications. However, an iPad that has failed due to contact with liquid may be eligible for out-of-warranty service. See http://support.apple.com/kb/index?page=servicefaq&geo=United_States&product=ipad
Make a Genius Bar Reservation
http://www.apple.com/retail/geniusbar/
You may can get the iPad repaired at 3rd party repair sources for less $, however, any remaining Apple warranty will be voided.
