My IPhone 5c display keeps freezing and having stripped lines or goes black. I must wait a while for it to work again. Any solutions or suggestions?

My IPhone 5c seems to freeze. When this happens there are black lines going either horizontal or vertical. I press the lock screen button and when i do this once more the screen goes to a bright black screen. Occasionally the screen goes completely white and I leave it alone at this point to let it lock itself. Then I press the lock button once more and it seems fine. I've tried taking pictures of the horizontal lines but when I go to check it it's as if the screen was normal. Does any one have an solutions or suggestions? It is greatly appreciated.  

It sounds as if the display is failing. This is supported by your saying the screenshot looks normal. The screenshot is created by using the actual video feed for the display, so if it is looking normal and the screen is not, I suspect the screen.
You could try restoring the device as new and see if it comes back, but you are probably better of making a Genius Bar appointment at the nearest Apple Store to have the hardware checked. Good luck.

  • MBP screen keeps freezing and these pixelated lines appear...

    Hi,
    For the most part, I've been a happy MAC user but I have been experiencing some problems.  For example, if I moved the mouse to close a program or something similar, the screen would freeze and these pixelated lines of black and white would appear, sometimes flashing. These lines would either cover a third or all of the screen.  When I restarted, the lines would appear in blue right after the apple icon appears.  This has been happening infrequently for the past day or so. 
    From browsing the internet, I've come across the GeForce 8600M GT GPU issue.  I've checked and I do have this component.  From Apple's article, my problem is not so much with the video, although it is really slow and intermittent at best but with the display screen (I think that's the proper term). I ran a general hardware test and all seems to be okay.
    Would my problem(s) fall under this recall?  Would I be eligible to get a (free) replacement?  Further, is there a hardware test I could specifically run to test this?  This is driving me crazy!  What do you think?
    Many thanks!

    I reinstalled and everything seems to be working fine.

  • My iphone 4 screen keeps freezing and i keep trying to reset it and still freezes alot. Can i replace it to apple store i still have 30 days warranty?

    Iphone 4 keeps freezing even a lot of times resetting it...

    If you still have warranty, yes you should be able to replace it. My ipad mini speakers had a rattle to it, and they just gave me a new ipad on the spot.

  • Ipad 4 Retina display keeps freezing and reboots

    the past week my Ipad 4 has been having problems with freezing and rebooting. I deleted a game app which I thought was the problem and now when I use my email app it will start to freeze then reboot. Of course my warranty has just run out when this happened. I have tried the stadard things up to resetting but not a complete restore yet. Sometimes when rebooting it will hang and I get pixilation etc. This is very frustrating any ideas? IOS 7.04. 32GB.

    Did the standard things include Settings>General>Reset>Reset all settings? You could have a corrupt setting that is causing problems. You won't lose any data, but it takes some time to enter all of the device settings again and you will have to do that if you reset all settings.
    If that doesn't work, then you probably should backup, restore to factory settings and them restore from the backup. If that fails, then the next step is to restore as new and not from the backup, them rebuild the iPad by adding your apps and content methodically looking for any signs of further problems.

  • My iPhone 6 128gb keep freezing and shutting down

    Need help to solve freezing problem with my 128gb iPhone 6

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • FCP keeps freezing and having to re-open.

    I downloaded Final Cut Pro and used it to design a lyric video for my Radio Disney Fan Club. The video turned out well, but about 5 or 6 times while designing, the program had the frozen circle in replacement of my mouse and that shut down and had to re-open. I was thinking maybe there's not enough space on my MacBook, so I really cleared out my files, but it still frozen and had to re-open after that. Anyone else having the same problem or know how to fix it??

    Trashing preferences is certainly useful, but I wouldn't agree that it's the first thing to do when you're new to FCP X.
    This is my pet checklist for questions regarding FCP X performance.
    Make sure you're using the latest version - FCP X 10.0.3 runs very well on my 2009 MacPro 2 x 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon with 16 GB RAM and ATI Radeon HD 5870 1024 MB. I run it with Lion 10.7.3.
    First, check that you have at least 20% free space on the Hard Drive that your System and your Media, Projects and Events are on.
    Check the spec of your Mac against the system requirements:
    http://www.apple.com/finalcutpro/specs/
    Check the spec of your graphics card. If it's listed here, it's not suitable:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4664
    If you are getting crashes, there is some conflict on the OS. Create a new (admin) user account on your system and use FCP X from there - if it runs a lot better, there's a conflict and a clean install would be recommended.
    Keep projects to 20 mins or less. If you have a long project, work on 20 min sections then paste these into a final project for export.
    Create Optimised media - most camera native files are highly compressed and need a great deal of processor power to play back - particularly if you add titles, filters or effects. ProRes 422 takes up much more hard drive space but is very lightly compressed. It edits and plays back superbly.
    If you are short of drive space, use ProRes 422 Proxy (FCP X Preferences > Playback) - but remember to select High Quality when you export your movie.
    Hide Audio Waveforms at all times when you don't need them (both in Browser and Storyline / Timeline). They take up a lot of processor power. (Use the switch icon at the bottom-right of your timeline to select a format without waveforms if you don't need them at the moment, then switch back when you do).
    Create folders in the Project and Events libraries and put any projects you are not working on currently, in those folders. This will help a lot.
    Move your Projects and Events to a fast (Firewire 800 or faster) external HD (make sure it's formatted OS Extended - with journaled on or off) and run from there.
    Unless you cannot edit and playback without it, turn off Background Rendering in Preferences - this will help general performance and you can always render when you need to by selecting the clip (or clips) and pressing Ctrl+R.
    The biggest single improvement I saw in performance was when I upgraded the RAM from 8 GB to 16.

  • HT1551 Itunes movies freeze up,and you  must wait a while, or start the movie again, from menu (resume)

    having trouble with itunes movies stopping or freezing up. have to wait,or go to menu to resume playing, not sure what problem is here

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try restarting, if the problem persists you may be suffering interference on your network.
    Intermittent problems are often a result of interference. Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
    You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
    Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
    There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first.

  • When opening an email in Hotmail, the ads keep flashing and the page updating, making it impossible to scroll down to see the rest of the email, any solution?

    In addition, the page tab flashes between "Hotmail - email address" and "Connecting". There was no change after adding the Adblock addon, Hotmail is safe in the NoScript addon.

    Try:
    - Reset all settings      
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.

    If all basic troubleshooting has been tried and a restore as new does not resolve, take it to Apple for evalation and possible replacement.
