My laptop has a wide band across the screen, my laptop has a wide band across the screen

any help my screen has a wide vertical band tath comes on go ,on diferentes colors

Generally, you are in for an expensive repair, (assuming it is out of warranty.)  FYI: Mom's iMac is about 7 years old and it too has developed three tiny green lines running vertically through the screen.  A replacement is in order, which is unfortunately going to plague all LCD buyers over time.
Yours is probably a ribbon-cable come unglued, so to speak. They are very thin and the contacts are volatile, and not every'qualified' hardware geek is physically able to fix such baic, but intricate issues. There is a simple utility which tests the screen-resolution, and this may hepl a techie to discern any specific processor faults, but I'm not sure how it might help your actual problem.. http://www.xbench.com/

  • Since I upgraded to IOS7 when I synch my photos on my iphone and ipad they all come across in one album and not the separate albums I have them in on my laptop. Has this happened to anybody else??

  • Its says my phone has synced with another iTunes account on the same computer? I Want my garage band songs to go from my phone back to my laptop but they won't

    So my Mac got wiped, obviously all my iTunes bought songs and stuff are rested but in lost most of my Garage band Productions, now the ones that had luckily gone to my phone won't transfer to ituens?

    No, it is just saying it is a different iTunes library. If your computer was wiped then the original one is gone and the phone does not recognize the library there.
    Your i-device was not designed for unique storage of your media. It is not a backup device and media transfer was planned with you maintaining a master copy of your media on a computer which is itself independently backed up against loss.  To use a device with a wiped or new computer you transfer the content from the old computer (or its backup) directly to the new computer, not the device to the new computer. Media syncing is one way, computer to device, updating the device content to the content on the computer, not updating or restoring content on a computer. The exception is iTunes Store purchases which can be transferred to a computer.  Your Garageband creations are obviously not iTunes Store purchases and should be restored from the backup you make for just this kind of situation.

    For transferring other items from an i-device to a computer you will have to use third party commercial software.  See this document by turingtest2: Recovering your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device - https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991

  • I am using iPhone 5s 32gb . Since yesterday  auto lock feature is not working ( I have set it to 1 minute ) and occasionally a blue band has startedappearing horizontally on the screen and moves across the screen

    Someone please tell the solution .
    Is it a hardware issue or os

    I have the same problem, only my lines are red. I just bought a 52 16GB to replace my iPhone 4. The old phone started having the red lines moving back and forth, and I looked on some of the forums, and was led to believe that it meant the phone was dying. Since I've had it for a long time, and it was real slow, I thought getting a new phone would be the solution. But wouldn't you know it, after a week or so, the red lines started showing up on the 5s. And now the auto-lock doesn't, and I keep running the battery down because I forget to manually lock it. The red lines make me think there's a virus, since it migrated to the new phone. As to the auto-lock, I have no idea.
    Any help would be really appreciated. I had to select a reply option, so I replied to the original post, but I'm hoping someone out there has a solution.
    Thanks!

  • Firefox on my wife's laptop has lost the black bar that used to show Maps, Gmail etc. Now at the top of the screen there is a blank bar, triple height, with just the Google search input box. How do I get this back? Or is this a question for Google?

    When I open Firefox there is a black bar, sometimes vertical, other times horizontal, across the top, with links to Maps, Gmail etc. When I open Gmail the same links are listed across the top of the screen, right under the Tabs. In my wife's laptop this appears in the Firefox start-up screen, but not in the Gmail screen. At the top of her screen is a super-wide gray bar with just a Google search input box. Is this a Firefox or Google problem?
    She has XP Home SP3 and Firefox 9
    Thanks for any help.

    What happened yesterday may have been caused by the SOPA protest action that was joined by a lot of sites yesterday and such an action won't happen that often.

  • Laptop says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English Version'. Can anyone help please, have no idea what to do and haven't used laptop in over a year. iPad/iPhone have lost tunes from laptop too.

    my laptop will not open iTunes, as it just says 'This version of iTunes has not been correctly localised for this language. Please run the English version'. I have not synconised my iPhone 5S or iPad 2 with iTunes for well over a year. I noticed the music which had previously been put into iTunes has dissappeared from my phone and iPad. I also want to remove some movies from my iPad and iPhone and there is no way I can do this without being able to manually sync with the Laptop which is running windows 7. Has anyone else come across this and please can you help? I am no expert in fact I know very little about the Laptop, it is my Husbands baby but he doesn't understand anything to do with Apple including iTunes. I will need any advise explained step by step please.

    Hi Shelady,
    Try downloading and reinstalling the latest version of iTunes from the first link below. If that doesn't do it, the suggestions in the second article should resolve the installation issue.

  • When importing images into LR5 on my laptop, the photos all have a wide yellow streak through them. This only happens on the laptop; I can import the images onto my desktop LR and there isn't the streak of colour.   Can someone help?

    When importing images into LR5 on my laptop, the photos all have a wide yellow streak through them. This only happens on the laptop; I can import the images onto my desktop LR and there isn't the streak of colour.   Can someone help?
    This is happening even with photos that were taken on another camera, not just mine.  My daughter told me that the laptop recently fell.  The yellow streak is not anywhere else on the laptop, just on the photos in LR.

    I have had this problem on my desktop.  I have been attempting to reproduce it where it can be debugged. Here are some observations/facts in my environment--no conclusions:
    1. I do not import from camera or memory stick directly into LR.  I copy all images (using Explorer) from camera to two different locations (backup location first); and then my working area. In both cases, after files are copied I mark them Read-only.
    2. Poor observation, but in any event: the issue has only occurred when I do a large number of images. Its a poor observation as I have no exact number.  I suspect when I do less than 50 always works well every time.  However, I have also done some very large imports without issue.
    3. Error only occurs with my RAW images--for me that's NEF.  I have multiple cameras--those that only capture jpg images have never had an issue in LR.
    4. Even if the file is marked Read Only issues can still occur.  I then remove the image from the disk using LR -- and then manually (Explorer) copy in my backup image -- re import again and all is well.  I think one time I exited LR and replaced the bad file with a backup and restarted LR and all was well again.
    5. When it occurs I have performed a HASH value on the broken file and on the backed up file to determine if the file contents has changed--and each time the file contents has changed.
    6. I have had this occur immediately after import, but most often it occurs like this... import large number of images; Make changes in Development Module on random image, export jpg of changes--exit LR. Open up LR and file is corrupted.
    7. I have had this issue on multiple USB drives ( okay just 2 different drives have been tested ).
    What next--fire up Process Monitor and monitor the system (specifically LR) to see if it reports any file open for write access when this occurs.  So, far I have not had process monitor actually running when it occurs--one of these days.

  • Laptop suddenly had horizontal lines running across the screen

    Suddeenly horizontal lines appreared across the screen .
    I have shut down and started up the computer numerous times and it does not go away .
    It also affects the graphics and text on the screen .
    If I cannot fix should I have the computer cleaned and set back to factory standard and how do i do that /
    Thanks

    2 possibilities:
    1. The video chip (motherboard) has gone bad; or,
    2. Just the screen has gone bad.
    Connect the computer to an external monitor and see if the lines appear on it. If so, it is #1.
    It is doubtful that restoring the laptop to factory specs will have any effect on the isue either way but if you want to do that you can tap F11 as you power up to enter factory reset.

  • My laptop has access to the internet...through my router. my i phone though it says it's connected to internet will not pick up internet.  three people came over with apple prodcuts and they couldn't  pickup internet in my house either.

  • Scan has a wide black stripe on the side

    When I scan it has a wide black stripe on the side. Full page height and 3.6 inches wide. This shows up as a print copy or when I use the Image Capture utility.
    Have tried unplugging the power and plugging again.

    Hello eldercr, and welcome to the HP Forums, I hope you enjoy your experience!
    I see you are having copy and scan issues.  I would like to help.
    I would recommend performing a power reset.  Disconnect the power cord from the printer and the power outlet, then wait 60 seconds. After 60 seconds, plug the printer back in. Ensure you plug the printer directly to a wall outlet. Make sure to bypass any sort of surge protector or power bar.
    I would also suggest following the steps in this document on Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks in Copies, Faxes, or Scans.
    Good luck and please let me know the results of your troubleshooting steps. Thank you for posting on the HP Forums!

  • My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book).  The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine.  I have changed the bands, but the problem comes back.  Transmitter problem or interference?

    My 4-year old AirPort Extreme intermittently drops out (no signal to my iMac Book).  My hard-wired iMac still has internet capability.  The laptop shows reception of other nearby Wi-Fi transmitters, but not mine.  I have changed the bands back and forth, but the problem comes back.  How can I check if it is a transmitter problem or interference?

    Let me see if I can suggest a strategy.
    I have talked with my ISP and he said that I am not the only one with an Airport Extreme with the same issue. He said to try to write the DNS direclty, rather than using the Auto settings - still nothing works.
    What modem do you have and what sort of broadband?
    What mode is the AE in.. router or bridge?
    I have an Airport Express from 2010. Since about a month and definetly since yesterday, I cannot connect any device via Wifi to it although LAN connection works correctly.
    Is this express or extreme.. the rest of the post you refer to extreme.
    What is the actual model number of the AE? A1xxx from the base or the part number MCxxx from the box.
    If the AE is bridge.. I want you to try a different method.. put it in router mode.. don't worry about double NAT but ensure the IP range of the modem /router is different to the AE.. so if one is 192.168.x.x then the AE on default at 10.x.x.x is fine.. if the main router is 10.x then move the AE to 192.168.x.x
    Make sure the guest wireless is off.
    Using a 5.6 utility on your 10.6.8 OS mini go to the log and see if the wireless is registering..
    You should see lists of wireless connection like..
    Post as many screenshots of the setup as you can.. it helps loads.

  • Grey fuzzy band across the ipad screen.

    Turned on the ipad after long period of inactivity to find a grey fuzzy band across the screen. Anyone know why and how to fix it?
    Its an ipad 2 and the band is about 1.5 inches wide and doesn't move up or down the screen.

    Yes. That didn't work but after leaving it on charge overnight the band disappeared???

  • My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. Am near an Apple Store, but anyone else had this problem

    My early 2011 MacBook Pro 15" non-glare display has developed a dark band at the edges of the screen approximately the same width as the aluminum surround. This wasn't present when the MBP was new. I'm near an Apple Store and can take the laptop in, but has anyone else had this problem?

    Thanks for your input. I didn't completely flesh out what I'm seeing visually. The resolution settings are all correct for my screen. The problem is if, say, looking at the gray startup screens or a completely white full-screen image, there is a perimeter of graying, almost as if the LEDs are somehow not as bright as the rest. It's also curious that the thickness of this phenomenon is almost exactly the same as the metal bezel around the display. I will be taking it to an Apple Store for a look, as I'm also having several minor hardware problems that need to be addressed and remedied.
