PB Display has lines but if we apply pressue to upper left it comes back?

We are new to the PB community, just purchased a PB for my son for Christmas and turns out we are having a sporadic display issue. This issue does not present itself all the time but when it does it is very annoying! The LCD will have lines (distorted/fuzzy) and when pressure is applied to the upper left portion of the PB itself OR even sometimes moving the PB around the lines will go away. The issue seems to be rearing it's ugly head more and more. I am hoping that this is possibly a loose connection but fear it could be something more expensive. Any and all suggestions would be greatly appreciated. At this point a Christmas gift (that was in my budget for my son) has turned into a nightmare! PLEASE HELP!!
More Info: The PB was running Tiger and the issue was present. It was wiped clean and is now running Leopard. The change in OS was not in effort to resolve this issue but ro provide more functionality.

The display has lines and the color is strange.

The Retina display has lines and the color is very light when I turn on iPad mini. When I woke up and turned it on this morning, it happened. I have no idea what happened since the iPad mini has been gotten no physical damage.

Hi:
I would try a hard reset of the notebook.

If that doesn't work and considering all of the other steps you took to remedy the issue, I would say the BIOS update wrecked something permanently.

You need to reconfigure your phone for use with your Apple ID. I suggest you restore yours as new then reconfigure it with your information and Apple ID. Be sure to disable Find My Phone, if it's enabled, before proceeding.

Since a few days we have a lot of crashes with [http://www.trusteer.com/product/trusteer-rapport Trusteer Rapport]. If you have this program, try to disable it and see if that stops the crashing. 
You can stop Rapport using Start Menu > Programs > Trusteer Rapport > Stop Rapport 
You can ask their helpdesk when an updated version of their product will be made available or, if you don't need this software, uninstall it.

If you do not have Rapport, then we need to have a crash report ID. When you send Mozilla a crash report it just puts it in a giant database. We have no way of looking it up without the Report ID. I have no idea what is wrong without looking up the crash report. Please get the Report ID of your latest crash report.

Thunderbolt display has power but no picture and no USB power

I've had my TB display working well with my Macbook for a while with no problems. This morning I started up the MacBook but the display didnt respond and the USB ports do not seem to be working. Keyboard and mouse both work when plugged directly into the MacBook but not when connected to the display. The MacBook is charging from the display so it has power, but nothing else seem to be working. Any ideas, or am I looking at taking it in to the local store for repair?
Thanks,
DB

First try 'resetting' the Display by disconnecting it from mains for about 15 minutes and then plugging it back in. I've only had the problem that you describe once and this was the 'fix' for me.

JDS and Gnome start, but all applications become fixed in upper left hand

Problem:
Java Desktop and Gnome start, but all applications are fixed in the upper left hand corner and become stacked on top of each other.
Multi-panel JDS does not start up, and I am forced into one window, which makes the above problem critical.
Conditions: New installation (not an upgrade) I experienced this problem. Attempted to connect from SGD. Using the following command
/usr/dt/config/Xsession.jds
Environment Variable: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/openwin/lib:/usr/dt/lib

The Settings Daemon restarted too many times.
The last error message was:

GNOME will still try to restart the Settings Daemon next time you log in.

Anyone have any idea of what this problem could be,

Your main problem is that the JDS window manager (metacity) isn't starting up, because it thinks there is already another window manager running on that display:
>
Window manager warning: Screen 0 on display "10.70.10.21:11.0" already has a window manager; try using the --replace option to replace the current window manager.
>
I obviously don't know if there really is or not (I'm guessing not, if all the windows are stuck in the top left of the screen), but running "metacity --replace &" in a terminal should force it to start up.
The gnome-settings-daemon warning is annoying, but non-fatal. It will usually just cause some icons and fonts to look incorrect. You can try running "/usr/lib/gnome-settings-daemon" again manually in a terminal, which will sometimes clear it up straight away. If not, I see you attempted to clean up some things in the home directory manually, but running "/usr/bin/gnome-cleanup" in a terminal (while not logged into JDS) might be a better thing to try.

PLEASE HELP! My iPod is stuck on a black screen but everytime I restore it through iTunes the screen comes back for a short period of time!

I own an iPod Touch 4g 8gb. Ever since Wednesday August 12th 2012, the screen has had a problem -- it is black. Pitch black. I can tell that it still works -- by sliding my finger down to unlock it I can still hear the lock sounds. My online research told me to reset it and put it in DFU Mode -- but that didn't work. So I connect it to iTunes and restore it to iTunes and after the restoration, the screen comes back -- for a few miniutes. I did this twice and the second time was longer than the first. I have not adjusted any settings that could have anything to do with this.
So... What to do here? Can someone explain exactly what the problem and it's recovery-processes are?

I'm not a fan of DFU mode because I've never seen it recommended by Apple.
First, try a system reset. It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo. Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears. You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore. Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset. Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync. From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab. Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup. You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod. Again, say "yes."
At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod. As before, say "yes." Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time. If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device. Corrective action is simple - choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.

I just updated to new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. when it comes back to tcp x it's black.

I just updated to the new final cut pro x 10.1.1 and i am also on mavericks so but on my editing timeline i was trying to color grade using magic bullet looks but i am having problem with it. When i send a sample to MBL and color grade it , it comes back to final cut pro x all black even after render. By the way on the MBL i am using the GPU rendering, I used before like 4months ago and it was fine. And i don't like to use the CPU because it very slow.

What is the frame rate of the project? At what frame rate was the media recorded? What frame size?
What are the audio settings?
What are the specs of the machine, in particular how much RAM, how is the hard drive connected, etc.?
If possible, post screenshots of the inspector for the project.
It could be related to the audio frequency?

TS3623 I have purchased movies using my Apple TV and I've been able to watch them as soon as I purchase them, but if I don't finish watching them and come back (within 24 hours) I cannot go back into the movie. Why is this?

I have purchased movies on Apple TV and I've been able to watch them immediately. However, if I do not finish watching it and come back later the system does not allow me to continue watching and it does not reflect my rental. This used to work fine, why is it not working?

Welcome to the Apple community.
A number of people have reported similar issues recently, many appear to have found a discrepancy of some kind in their account settings and making changes to these settings or simply resetting them has resolved the matter.
Check your account details are correct, check that you are using the correct details for Location, Region and Time Zone. You may want to change these settings and then change them back to see if that helps.
You might also try logging out of and then back into your iTunes account (Settings > iTunes Store > Apple ID’s > Sign Out) and restarting your router. (Some have reported that after doing this, they need to check for rentals even though it may report that there aren’t any, after which rentals once again appear in the ‘movies’ feature)
Rentals should appear under their own heading in the ‘Movies’ feature, you might also check at Settings > iTunes Store > Check For Rentals.

I'm not able to delete games. My icons jiggle but not getting the "x" in upper left corner. This just happened; any suggestions????

New at this this but need help: I can't delete icons from my iPad. They will jiggle but I am not getting an"x" in the upper left corner. I have never had this problem before. Any suggestions how to correct this????

Built in apps can't be deleted.
If it's not the built in apps, then maybe you've enabled restrictions to prevent the deletion of apps. Look in the settings, restrictions and see if you've locked that out

My screen has lines and yellow tint and at start up left third is white, right 2/3 is black

My screen has developed lines and at start up, the left third is White, the right 2/3 is black. Then it works again. Then it starts a loud noise like it's burning a DVD. Then it works again.

There is a known problem with a yellow tint on i7s. I suggest you call Apple Care and tell them about it, it should still be under warranty.

I recently had to change out my I Phone 5 because the on off button was broken. My phone is backed up with I Cloud but I noticed that all my pictures did not come back. I do have a lot of pictures. Does any one have ANY INFO on how long it takes?

Does anyone know how I can get all my pictures back on my I Phone whaich has been backed up by I Cloud? My I Phone 5 has been replaced because of a broken on off button. Only some of my pictures have come through. I'm not sure if it takes more time or not.
Any info will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Many users have lost photos while preforming a restore from backup or upgrading the iOS. Recall, only photos in the camera roll are backed up to iCloud. There is a way to turn backups for camera roll on/off, perhaps these users had camera roll turned off.
See:
Settings>icloud>Storage & Backups>Manage Storage, tap the device's name and on the next screen, be sure Camera Roll is turned on.
IMPORTANT...
Photos should be regularly synced to a computer (like you store photos from a digital camera) using either USB via iTunes (on a mac use iPhoto or Aperture to move them to an album) or using photo stream. If using Photo stream, but sure to move the received photos to a permanent album. If you have been doing that, then you can sync those photos back to your device.
If you haven't been saving photos except relying on iCloud to store them in a backup, then that is risky, as many users have discovered. I'm afraid I have no advice in this case - there is no "cure".
