My screen has blue strips on it. What is wrong?
Has any one else ever had this problem? Any ideas how I can fix it?
Thank you
clintonfrombirmingham the 3 year warenty has just run out so it must be a 2009 or 2010.
mende1 are you saying that there are no blue lines on the screen shot? I am no expert at all so would this mean that the actual computer is fine it is just the screen is not displaying the image correctly?
Thank you all for you help so far.

I start the computer the screen has blue vertical stripes and says that the Adobe Air application can not be found. Some of my programs don't run and say:
You: Error access violation at 0x0055F525. I reinstalled Adobe Air. No change. I went to the Adobe webside and they said to repair it with a program. I bought RegCure. Didn't change anything. What to do?Hello cor-el, thanks for your reply. I changed my settings for downloads to desktop and it has appeared on there. When I double click I am asked which program I want to open file. I click firefox and another box "opening install" says I have chosen to open the file which is an application and do I want to save it. This is the only real option so I press save file. I get a box saying this is an executable file which may contain viruses - do you want to run. I press ok and the final box showing C drive file name and desktop appears stating application not found.
This happens the same whenever I try to install.
To my untrained eye the application is not being recognised as an application and I cannot work out how to get it to do that.
My plugin is still showing as out of date.
Is there anything you could suggest. Thanks for your time. -
I dropped my iphone and the screen has blue lines on it. Siri still works but the screen doesn't but the screen isn't cracked or shattered. What should I do?
Bring your phone and $199 to the Apple store for an out of warranty exchange of your phone. You clearly broke it when you dropped it.

What has the Apple support team done to the Top Sites screen? I just accepted an automatic update to be downloaded to my iMAC, and as a result of this "fix installation" the layout of the Top Sites screen has been terribly "destroyed"! What's the idea?
If you are referring to the non-panorama , but rather the flat look, well that's what they did.

I have iPad mini. Siri's microphone icon comes on. I make request, absolutely nothing happens, never has since day one. What is wrong?
Hello,
I'm sorry you're running into problems with your system. It sounds like you might have multiple issues going on, but to dig deeper we're going to need more specifics. Here's a good post that describes what we'll need and how to generate crash logs:
How to report a crash with Flash Player
In addition, you might want to consider either reverting back to a previous version of Flash Player, see this page for archived versions, or installing our latest Flash Player 11 RC release.
I'm not sure what is going on with your pdf files, but I don't believe it's Flash Player related. Can you take a screenshot of the blank window that is appearing? That might give us some clues on what's going on.
Thanks,

PLEASE PLEASE READ THIS I'M IN NEED OF URGENT HELP. || Heeey everyone! I'm new here. Please don't bite me. =))
Okay. So I have a Macbook Pro, 13 inch (bought Dec. 2010). It's currently running on Snow Leopard (10.6.8). It had a hard drive crash in Feb. 2012...I had it replaced and lost all my files . It had two major falls (January 2011 & November 2012). Oh, and it also makes this weird grinding noise when you listen closely.
Everything was going fine, until last week, I encountered a kernel panic. Restarted, but was faced with that awkward blank white screen thing at start up. I was told at the Apple Store back when my hard drive crashed in Feb. 2012 that repeated pressing down of the power button can be damaging, so I waited for it to run out of battery to restart. After that, it was normal again. I downloaded OnyX and verified/repaired permissions...nothing was out of the ordinary.
THEN. The next day, in the middle of use, my mac suddenly black-screened. Not a lot of windows were open, and I wasn't doing anything that...will put a strain on anything. It wasn't total pitch-black like the screen looks like when it's turned off. I could still hear the hard drive working and making that grinding sound. I pressed the caps-lock key, and it didn't light up. =))) What, is it off or something? But I can still hear the hard drive there. And it's totally unresponsive. So I decided to restart by pressing down the power button. It was normal again...until a few hours later when it suddenly white-screened. OKAY it's white now. I don't know what that's supposed to mean. But it had the same symptoms as the black-screen. Unresponsive, caps-lock didn't light up, normal grinding sound as if the computer was still on. So I let it run out of battery so I could restart. Upon restarting, I opened Disk Utility and verified disk permissions. There was no damage, nothing again.
I recently got uTorrent (around late December), and thought that it might have been that, so I deleted it and emptied trash. The next day, it did the black screen again. Same with the next day. There's at least one per day. It didn't seem to affect performance at all, everything still ran smoothly. I made sure to check disk permissions to see if everything was okay. And everything was.
Then, about three days passed without any black/white screen and I thought that nuisance was over. BUT NO. Two days ago, I got black-white-white screened and I was...shocked. I let it run out of battery again. =))) Checked Disk Utility, again, nothing. So I decided to get that Software Update thingo that always pops up. I upgraded to 10.6.8. A day passed without the dreaded black/white screens. But yesterday, it white screened once. And today, it white screened again.
I really can't figure out a concrete pattern. It seems random. But what I do know is that:
1. It happens in the afternoon. All the time, consistently in the afternoon. LOOOL IDK what this is supposed to mean, but its one of the common factors. =))
2. Most of the time, it happens when I leave the computer for about 30 seconds - 1 minute to get something. Or if I'm watching a long video (like a TV show episode), a period of time where I don't touch the mouse/press any keys. Is that related somehow?
3. I can't do anything to get it out of the white/black screen except restart. Each time I restart, I check Disk Utility and nothing is wrong.
And yes, I've went to the Apple Store to get this checked. All they said is: "Upgrade to Lion, maybe the error will disappear. If it does, then it was just a software error. If it doesn't...then sorry." LOOOOOOL NOT FALLING FOR THAT, not spending money when I'm not sure it'll fix the error. I want concrete answers.
I'm a student, and my Christmas Break will be over in less than a week. SO I NEED ALL THE HELP IN THE WORLD PLEASE. What is wrong with my laptop? Can I fix this? Will opening it in safe mode help in any way? PLEASE I'M DESPERATE.Try these:
See what's loading in your login items. - delete the ones you don't need.
Open up Activity Monitor and under all processes, see what's using most of your cpu's resources. Highlight the ones using the most % CPU and hit quit process.
Next, open up disk utility and verify your disk. Once that's done, verify disk permissions - repair if needed.
Restart your Macbook and see if it speeds things up for you.
good luck.... -
Areas of blue across half of the screen and blue boxes around apps. whats happening?
Hello. I have an Iphone 5s. and I am getting areas of Blue on my screen and apps Highlighted in blue.
Please can anybody help?Sadly your iPad screen and/or backlight is going bad from what you explain... Taking it to Apple will be an option... you need to see what their diagnotics test reveal... either faulty backlight or screen or both... that will determine cost to repair... they will give options prior to you having to decide on what you want to spend...

15" MBP screen has blue tinge after wakeup from screen saver
I've had a recent problem with having a blue tinge to my laptop display after wake up from the screen saver. The screen saver is the iTunes cover art. When the screen saver is active and I clear it (mouse movement or keyboard), I get my login screen. After entering my password, the screen turns a blue shade. Does anyone else have this problem or know of a solution. I'm currently running Leopard 10.5.8 with all software updates on a late 2008 15" MBP.
Yea I had this problem a while ago - I think it's because of iStat Pro - are you running that widget in your dashboard? Either delete it or if you still want it - you can go into preferences and click on displays and the screen will automatically color correct itself - but you have to do this every time it wakes up.

LCD screen on camera is splotchy. What is wrong?
I have a Cybershot camera, and I LOVE the camera, everything works fine, but the LCD screen is defective. It has been that way for a long long time, and I just never thought to contact you. Then I thought, it may be an issue you have heard before, and maybe there is a solution to fix or replace it.I spoke to someone through chat, and she did not understand what I was saying, and kept telling me to reset my settings on the camera. It has nothing to do with the setting. When the camera is in the off position, and you look at the screen, it is splotchy, the whole screen. I would love to send you pics of it for you to see.She recommended I pay to have it checked. I am apalled by this, as I feel it is defective, and a problem Sony should cover. This was not anything caused by me.
Though it would be in the camera bag, I wonder if something with enough force may have ever had contact with the screen, causing it.
For example, my phone has a flip cover and basic screen protector. I was carrying a bicycle on the back of a motorbike and using my thigh as support. I didn't realise that my phone was underneath - there was enough pressure to cause the top to crack and no longer work - the bottom of the screen still worked.
So just wondering if a case like this may have happened, it being dropped or something being smacked into it without knowing, crushed at one stage maybe, etc.
Just a guess.
If this isn't the likely cause though, I can't think of anything else.
Was it like this on purchase, or something that randomly appeared and you noticed it?
Either way, a photo would help nonetheless.
Also, if everything works, you should be able to easily buy a replacement LCD to stick in there - replacing screens is very easy also as you don't need to go deep into the camera to do so.
This is an option if repair costs are too high - not sure if Sony can cover for it or not. -
I print stock spreadsheets at the end of every year for my records and this is the first time I can't print them. When the blank screen shows I can minimize it. The spreadsheet with my numbers shows but I can't print it. Something is blocking it.
Reload the page. If it doesn't load, choose Activity from Safari's Window menu, find that picture in the list, and see what it says to the right; this may reveal what the problem is.
