My cursor has long vertical line at times

My cursor has long vertical lines at times. When I hover over a link, the cursor doesnt' change to a hand

I don't know if this applies to LCDs, but the iMac G3 and eMac had "geometry settings" in the display preferences. If you messed up the settings, things like lines on the bottom and skewed images could happen.
I wonder if the factory geometry settings are off on your iMac? There is no way to set these with System Prefs.
I found someone asking about it here: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3019584?start=0&tstart=0

HT201406 i have a frozen ipod touch the screen has multicolored vertical lines and is non responsive any ideas?

i have an i pod touch which appears to be frozen it has multicoloured vertical lines on the screen and is non responsive has anyone had the same probs

If that does not work:
Try:
- iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
- If not successful and you can't fully turn the iPod fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
- If still not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

The screen on my G4 has a vertical line that doesn't go away

My G4 Macbook has a Vertical Line on the lower screen that is about 3 inches high. It doesn't go away. What to do??

There is no such thing as a G4 Macbook. Macbooks have only had Intel processors.
However, wether you have a G4 notebook or an Intel notebook, I would want to run the Apple hardware test to check the video circuitry. Find the original OS X disks that shipped with the system, and find the one that, in small print, says 'AHT Version x.x' on the label. Insert and reboot holding the alt/option key down. Choose the Apple hardware test, and when prompted choose the extended test. If you have either of the TechTool programs they can do similar testing. Does that point out any video issues?

Monitor has a constant vertical line and does go go away

I would take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

Screen has a vertical line that flickers sometimes... please help

My screen suddenly had a vertical line that flickers (sometimes), it's green. I don't know how it got there and where did it come from. It just suddenly appear. I left my computer running (and at that time the line wasn't there) as I was waiting for an email to come through but when I got back to it, it had the line. I've restarted my computer but it was still there. What could be the problem and how to fix it? Please help. Thanks.

My late 2007 Mac Book Pro has tiny vertical lines in the display intermittently.

Intermittent, tiny vertical lines in display of my refurbished Mac Book Pro late 2007 , A1226 model.
Have replaced the actual display screen.
Apple Genius Bar tested hardware and all OK, although the display was working by the time I got there.
It is fine right now, I am using it for this post, but is hard to read small letters and numbers when it acts up.
Even when the lines appear the display shows bright and crisp on any external monitor.
Does anyone have any insight to this problem?
Thanks !

It could be the inverter cable or board is beginning to get frayed.
If attaching an external display shows the lines, you know the problem is direct to the videochip itself.
Some games are videochip specific in their requirements and may trigger the issue anyway, if the videochip is not on their supported list.

I was working on my computer when all of a sudden the screen went grey with 5 vertical pink lines appeared. I have switched the monitor off, but now it starts up with the pink lines then goes to a blank screen, what is the problem?

Sounds like a hardware problem ..
You can run the Apple Hardware Test
Or take your Mac to an Apple Store or Apple certitied repair provider listed here.

IPad 2 display has flickering vertical lines

My iPad 2 display is flickering and has verticle lines. It is acting like it is having a graphics card issue. You can barely make out what is on the screen. Due to familiarity, I am able to navigate through the menus. It was not dropped and I am pretty sure there is no water damage.
I took a screen shot of the display, when it downloaded to iPhoto it was perfect.
Any suggestions?

Not normal. Take it to an Apple Store for evaluation.

My 12" PB G4 has the Vertical Line Problem too!

Hi. Sorry to post 'out of my league' but this problem only seems to be discussed on this forum.
I will go and post on the 12" Display forum as well, but I was wondering if anyone has heard of any other 12"s with the problem?
I'm calling Apple tomorrow to register this issue.
Thanks!
Susan
Powerbooks G4 12" and G3 Pizmo Mac OS X (10.4.10)

I just got off the phone with Apple Technical Support (aka Apple Care) and was told that since there were not many reports of this problem with the 12", that all he could do was give me a case number, and should Apple decide to do a recall, I will have been documented as having reported this problem.
So I said - 'oh, if I DID have the 17" then Apple would repair the display?' And he said 'no'. I said 'but there are hundreds of people out there with the 17" who have this same exact problem; it cannot be a coincidence' and HE said "there are only a few people with the 17" who have this problem.
I referred him to the 17" Display Discussion thread and to the Bridgit Riley site, but I'm sure he's going to blow it off.

Can i get my imac g5 that has vertical lines on it fixed for free as it is a fault???

can i get my imac g5 that has coloured vertical lines on it fixed for free as it is a manufacturing fault???
just asking cause it is really annoying
and also if it gets done for free do i need to under warrenty and apple care or can it get done without the warrenty as i looked it up and it said on mac rumors that it didn't have to be under warrenty.
thanks heaps.

Well I said thank you Apple too soon I guess! It's been a week since I filled out the form for the free update/upgrade program, still haven't heard anything from them! They only responded that they received my request and gave me a reference number but the email address was a "no-reply" address so where am I supposed go on and check or ask or inquire with this number?
When I go to the original webpage given to apply for the program there is no section to check the status of my application! So again I wander where can I write to, to ask about the status of my application for the free update of my OS X Lion software?
Do I write to App Store or iTunes or Apple US or the Turkish reps? The store I bought it from doesnt know about this they say it's all done thru Apple?
I'm confused! Who should know and where did my application go to? Who receives these forms and who do I check in with? Does anybody know?
Thank you.

How can I arrange bookmarks in a grid format instead of a vertical line?

Windows has a IE Favorites folder, containing favorite websites, and all of these favorite website folders and links can be viewed in a grid format (spread horizontally and vertically). Firefox Bookmarks: I can only get to display in a very long vertical line. Is there an internal file folder containing all of my Firefox Bookmarks? And if so, can I display them in a grid? Thx.

Sorry, no there is no way to arrange or view bookmarks in multiple columns or a grid built into Firefox.
Bookmarks aren't stored in a folder in Windows like with IE, they are stored in a database file named '''places.sqlite''', along with browsing history and downloads history.
There have been a couple of different extensions available over the years that did display bookmarks in multiple columns, but those extensions were short lived and never were really finished before the developer lost interest and stopped working on them.
Suggestion - folders within folders will spread out to the right, somewhat in a "columns fashion" across the screen. But with the current placement of the bookmarks button I don't know how well that would work; I haven't even tried it out. Personally, I have used the Bookmarks Sidebar for viewing my bookmarks since I started using Firefox in 2002.

Vertical lines, but only upon booting up

Hi,
my problem occurs (for now) only when booting up my mac and only, when it has been turned off for a few hours. When I start up, about one third of my screen (right side) stays black, then has only vertical lines in different colours, then image starts vibrating and after several minutes settles to normal function. I did a screenshot when the screen was vibrating and on the shot everything looks normal.
Since this only occurs when starting, Apple staff told me on the phone it shouldn't be a hardware error (mhm... is it really that easy?). Tried installing OS X anew and resetting PRAM, like they told me, but error stayed. Any other suggestions what might be the problem here or stuff i could try out (software-wise)?

I've had problems with vertical lines, detailed in
another topic. This problem is different & very
specific: My project has no vertical line problem,
until I export it into a Full Quality DV file. The FQ
DV file has vertical lines in the first photo of the
clip when played in QT 6.5.2. I've deleted the DV
file & re-exported 3 times, to no avail. Remember,
the original project file has no problems.
It's not like I could do in the original project:
Focus on the offending first clip. That first clip is
now embedded into a DV clip with all the other clips.
Do I just duplicate another DV clip & go thru the
usual procedure to eliminate a clip with vertical
lines? But, even if I delete the corrupted clip, I
cannot replace it with a clean clip, due to the
corrupting process that apparently occurs when I
export my project to a DV clip.
Should I include a clean KB still at the beginning of
my project before exporting it to FQ DV? If so, how
do I delete that clip from the DV clip? It seems to
me, once you convert to a DV clip, all bets are off
re: editing individual components (clips) that make
up the DV clip.
Any thoughts, anyone?
Since I started three topics re: vertical line problems & now that, with help from all of you & my own struggles, I've solved the problem(s), I feel I owe an explanation of where I am now.
I thought all the stills I made to extend the duration of the KB clips in my projects were themselves KB clips. Not so. I did not render these clips as KB clips. Therefore, using these clips as place holders had no effect in removing the vertical lines.
Thanks to all for their time, expertise, & patience.
