My MacPro 10.6.8 has a thin green line on the screen.

My MacPro is just over a year old now and I have a thin green line on the screen. I hooked it up to my TV and on the second window (the TV) the green line wasn't there. Whats the issue? How do I fix it?

From what you are saying, sounds like a line of pixels out on the display.
Did the TV use the same connector on the computer? If not, swap the display with the TV. If you still have the line, it is one of the items that you swapped across.
Have you tried connecting the display to another computer? If so, is the line still there?
What kind of display is it? Can you swap the data cable and try a different cable, could be a cable issue.
Any adapters in use? If so, try swapping those to rule them out as a problem.

  • HELP! my ipod has a thin blue line across the screen whenever i play videos

    i got my ipod a day ago. i havent dropped it or anything and when i play a video there is a thin, blue, vertical line on my screen. is it broken or what!?

    It could be a problem with the way the videos were encoded. Where did you get them from or did you encode them yourself.
    If you encoded them yourself, what program did you use?

  • Photoshop CS4 - When I pullled up a file, JPEG logo someone sent to me, the screen has cross thin green lines over it. What is that? How do I remove it?

    Photoshop CS4 - When I pullled up a file, JPEG logo someone sent to me, the screen has cross thin green lines over it. What is that? How do I remove it?

    JPEG files are not layered files they are just image files so the green lines are a part of that file.
    Usually cross lines are added to prevent anyone from using the file without proper rights, its a way of safeguarding the artwork.
    You have to ask the owner of the file to remove the lines for you.
    hope this helps
    thanks

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • My iMac has extremely small gray lines on the screen?

    My iMac has extremely small gray lines under the screen? There are 3 of them and they are right next to each other, have any of you guys experienced this? What did Apple do about it? BTW my computer is 4 months out of warranty, because i did not get the extended Apple Care, will they still fix my computer? Im really worried, but its not that noticeable, unless you already know its there.

    They won't fix your computer because it's out of warranty, perhaps an AppleCare lesson learned here. Of course you can try which doesn't hurt. The longer  you wait though and the less chance they will help. Can you attach a picture so we can see what they look like?

  • Thin green line at the bottom of my QT exports from FCP

    Hello,
    I have exported a series of QT vids from FCP. Each QT video file exhibits a thin (2 px)green line at the bottom of the player window. I can't seem to narrow down what is making this line appear. Can you please offer some suggestions? Remedies?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Utilizing:
    Quicktime Conversion
    optimized for broadband Large
    H.264 codec for HD footage
    Custom 660x377 frame size (varied to see if that would fix the issue, did not)

    So you only see it in QT Fullscreen mode?
    The reason I'm pressing this is that I've seen green lines LIKE this with issues resulting from what seems like a very hot video card.
    Usually they 1) aren't that crisp and 2) don't always show up each time you view it.
    And this is AFTER compression, yes? For sure this isn't on the original material? Make sure you set your canvas in FCP to 100% size to see all of the lines.

  • My nano has a green line down the screen

    My ipod nano is not even a year old and suddenly has a green line down the middle of the display.
    I plugged it in to my Mac desktop and restored it using iTunes but that didn't help.

    Could be the graphics card.

    - If not successful that indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

  • My iphone 5 stopped working. I only see a thin white line on the screen

    My iphone stopped working.  I can only see a thing white line on the screen and the screen does not respond at all although turning the phone on vibrate makes it vibrate.  The screen has been cracked for some time but has worked fine until today.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi susiesunshine,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the screen on your iPhone is cracked and it's only displaying a white line. This generally means that the iPhone needs to be sent in for service, see the articles below for more information about the service suggestion and repair pricing.

    Display shows a white screen
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    If the iPhone will not turn off, try to reset it.
    If that doesn't work, try restoring the device.

    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?

  • My iPad2 screen has 3 blocks of lines across the screen

    Hi,
    Has anyone else encountered this? The blocks of lines appear to be aligned with the spaces between the smart cover and go vertically across my screen. I am using a ZAGG invisishield cover and have wiped it clean. It's most visible when the screen is white.

    Simon-
    My first thought is that the invisishield cover has reacted to the pressure of your smart cover.  In other words, the lines may not be in the iPad, but between the invisishield and the iPad.
    I'm not familiar with the invisishield.  If it can be removed without ruining it, you might see if that makes the lines go away.
    If the lines are actually in the iPad, it may be a defect.  If convenient, show it to an Apple Store Genius.  If not, look for an Apple Authorized Repair Center near you.

  • My iPad has a big colors line on the screen!!! Please help me!!!

    If the reset mentioned previously does not work have a technician examine your iPad. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.

  • 24" iMac Thin darker line on the screen - dead pixels ?

    I have a 24" BTO iMac with 3,06 and GE Force 8800 GS, delivered last year in June.
    Was very happy until today, when i remarked, at +/- 7 cms from the right edge, a thin line, extending from top to bottom, and seeming to expand a bit in a blurry way in the middle.
    It shows much more in when on a dark background.
    Could that be dead pixels ?
    I guess I have to ship the machine back to an ARC ?
    Or is there some test I could try first ?

    A screenshot would not including any effect from a physical screen defect. For the computer, the pixels are there and working properly.
    If it appears to be blurry, it may be something casting a shadow between the LCD and the backlighting. Dead pixels are distinct, so there should not be a blur between where the pixels are working and where they are not working.
    In any case, since the Mac is still covered by the one-year warranty, you should probably have it looked at by an Apple authorized repair place

  • My ipad 1st generation has a bunch of lines on the screen.

    I have tried the hard reset and it didn't work.  I want to repair it myself.  I have changed out a screen on an ipod touch before but I need to know what parts I need to order.  Can anybody tell me?

    Work down the the following until it is cured:  Restart / reset / restore / restore as new / take it to Apple.
    Reset fixes 90% of problems.  You don't get into risking your data un less you get to the restore as new try. But you sound like a sensible person who would regularly back up....

  • I've just downloaded software -now have a thin blue line on my screen? pls. help.

    I have just downloaded some software...when my computer restarted, it now has a thin blue line on the screen.  What's happened?

    A: is it in all screens or just Chrome (unlikely)?
    B: reset SMC
    Shut down the computer.
    Plug in the MagSafe power adapter to a power source, connecting it to the Mac if its not already connected.
    On the built-in keyboard, press the (left side) Shift-Control-Option keys and the power button at the same time.
    Release all the keys and the power button at the same time.
    Press the power button to turn on the computer. 
    C: Your LCD is highly likely NOT broken rather a signal feed hardware issue in the monitor cable that travels thru the hinge from the logic board.
    D: make a screenshot and verify if the screenshot shows the same or not.
    E: the LED backlighting is showing thru implying, of course, that the LCD feed for that vertical line is not being fed.
    Reset SMC and verify.
    if same, you have either bad monitor cable or connection of same at junction with logic board.
    At which point make appt. with Apple for diagnostic / service

  • How do I avoid or get rid of thin green line bordering my video in Compressor?

    Hello!
    This is my work flow:
    Edited an 18 minute 1920 x 1080 ProRes video on FCP 7, exported a master video file ProRes 422 self-contained QT movie, sent to Compressor (tried Best DVD 90-minutes and ProRes codec settings) to prepare files for a SD DVD in DVD Studio Pro.
    My issue:  I am getting a THIN GREEN LINE bordering my entire video on the Compressor file.
    My master video file is perfect, no green line, however once it's gone through Compressor (tried both Best DVD 90 minutes and ProRes codec settings) the video has a thin green line that I can see in the DVD Studio Pro preview and simulation.  The burned DVD also has it.
    I would like to author the work in DVD Studio Pro as it is a looping video work for exhibition so I have the video file 6 times on the DVD rather than have it re-start at first track every time.
    Seems like it has to do with downscaling the 1920 x 1080 video to SD for DVD. 
    Searched the web and there doesn't seem to be a clear explanation for it besides this discussion about 16s but doesn't clarify in regards to the problem downscaling to SD DVD.
    Thanks so much to anyone with the magic answers!

    PAL - 1080 / 576 = 1,875
    NTSC - 1080 / 480 = 2,25
    DVDs are standard definition, so your original file has to be compressed to those pixel dimensions. As you can see above the number of HD horizontal lines don't divide by an even number into SD horizontal lines, so you get partial lines left over that the TV system doesn't really know how to interpret - that's the green bit.
