Re: gray horizontal line

Gray horizontal line appears on any part of the screen when scrolling

When I first saw that line on my original 20" iMac I thought it was another artifact of the screen controller on that machine that had a lot of problems (need to get it fixed now that I have my PB to fill in. However, I then saw the same line on my wife's 12" PB and now on my new 15". If you are seeing the same as I am (faint grey line dead center of the menu bar) then I think it is just part of the 3D effect in OSX.

Give it to the school IT department to be fixed.

What is the gray horizontal line under the times in the timeline?

What is the gray horizontal line right under the times across the top of the timeline? It has a little orange beginning and ending tab.

That is the Work Area Bar.
Unfortunately the search option in the Help is broken (again).
Most people (I think) have turned it off.
But for instance you can drag the bar over an area you want to preview.

Add Horizontal Line in People Search Results Page

Hi everyone
I have a modified people search results page (SharePoint Online) where I have added a few fields to the results page. I would like to better organize the fields by placing a horizontal line in there somewhere.
For instance, I would like to add a light gray horizontal line where I drew the red lines on this image:
Here is a copy of my current people search results code:

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to add Horizontal Line in People Search Results Page.
I recommend that you can use the
HTML <hr> Tag in the display template file.
You can add the code below to the html page under the <div id="NameField"></div>
<div>
<div> Office:_#= ctx.CurrentItem.OfficeNumber =#_ </div>
<div> Department:_#= ctx.CurrentItem.Department =#_ </div>
<hr>
<div> Organization: _#= ctx.CurrentItem.Organization =#_ </div>
<div> Organization:<img id="PicPreview" src="_#= ctx.CurrentItem.Organization =#_"/> </div>
<hr>
<div> OfficeLocator:<a clicktype="Result" id="NameFieldLink" href="_#= ctx.CurrentItem.OfficeLocator =#_">_#= ctx.CurrentItem.OfficeNumber =#_</a> </div>
</div>
The result is as below:

The display on my 4 year old iMac has horizontal lines and gradations of gray. Is my machine on its way out? Can I fix the screen?

My four year old iMac has developed horizontal lines and gradations of gray over the last month. Is my machine on its way out? Is there anyway to fix the display?

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

When I turn on messages, I can't see my messages. All I can see is a screen with horizontal lines and a text list of addresses. How can I get the regular message screen back?

The same is happening for me. Today I decided to reboot my PC because it was acting up a bit, go figure, and then for some reason at the same time the PC was restarting my macbook froze. I had to do a reboot with the restart button but then all that came up was a gray background and in the middle of the screen was a darker gray folder with a white question mark in the middle of it, blinking. I can't imagine why the restart would've affected my macbook. After finding information on how to fix this, I tried all of the steps that were given about using the mac OS X disk to use the first aid utility to fix it. When using the Disk Utility option whenever I select my hardrive and am in the First Aid tab, the only button I can use is the Verify Disk Permissions. The other three buttons, and namely the most important Repair Disk button, is/are not selectable (grayed out). I then tried resetting the PRAM the way they also said with the command + option + P + R and waited for the second startup sound. After that I gave the Disk Utility a second try, but still nothing. And now if I try to just reinstall the OS completely I can't even select a destination volume on the third step (Select Destination). Apparently this means i'm SOL.

My macbook pro decided to give a different res and a horizontal line follows my cursor (like a diagnostic mode or something) i have shutdown/restrted. Fixed the res but the cursor problem still exists any help please.

I was using my mac as normal and then my resultion on mr screen changed which i have fixed using the normal methods but i still continue on getting a horizontal line whereever my cursor is even after i have restarted and shut down. The line is a white colour but my other screens seem dulled wherever this line is not following it is not a solid white. It looks like its in a diagnostic mode or somthing. Any help would be appriciated, thanks.

It is possible there is a problem with the computer's graphics, but try a simple fix. viz. reset the NVRAM / PRAM.
Resetting NVRAM / PRAM
Shut down your Mac.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command (⌘), Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.

Colored horizontal lines on new blank tabs?

On random new blank tabs, using FF 7.01, horizontal lines appear, taking the whole screen width and several pixels height. I have seen black lines mostly, but also light blue, gray, brown and orange. I have made a screenshot too. I tried safe mode with addons disabled, the problem still exists.

In Firefox 4 and later [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Safe_mode Safe mode] disables extensions and disables hardware acceleration.
*[http://kb.mozillazine.org/Menu_differences Tools > Options] > Advanced > General > Browsing: "Use hardware acceleration when available"
If disabling hardware acceleration works then check if there is an update available for your graphics display driver.
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

New display, same horizontal lines

I've got a new display (Apple doesn't replace the entire PowerBook in Switzerland) and the new one has the same horizontal lines.
Does anybody own an 1440x960 15" PowerBook WITHOUT these horizontal lines??
Thanks!
Andreas

All this talk about the display brings back memories of my 2000 PowerBook G3/FW. There were huge variations in the displays of those PowerBooks. Eventually I learned to cope and calibrated my screen. Still, it practically killed my interest in digital photography, as my photos mostly looked dull and uninteresting on that screen.
In comparison, the 15" issue with lines is really minor, but I admit it is there and can be seen.
I made a test that is possibly even easier to interpret than the famous "crankycat" image: http://www.cameraid.com/art/quadrants.gif
The rectangle has four quadrants. The bottom two should be the same shade even on a PB G4/15DL and on an ideal display, all four should be the same color. On the PB G4/15DL, the top two quadrants are not the same shade of gray, but the screen position determines which one is brighter and which one is darker.
If there's a difference between top left and top right, your screen is affected.

HD3000 freezes, airfracts, horizontal lines

Hi
Can anyone help me? I have OSX 10.9.5 (13F1066) on this laptop:
I3 2310M
HD3000
ALC269
AR8151
AR5B97
Here is the console log after restart: http://pastebin.com/vGFySH1N
Its freezing, texture problems in games, random horizontal lines.... When freeze, everything stops, just the mouse moving... please help me thank you, and sorry for my bad english

Try a restart.
Do a backup, using either Time Machine or a cloning program, to ensure files/data can be recovered. Two backups are better than one.
Try setting up another admin user account to see if the same problem continues. If Back-to-My Mac is selected in System Preferences, the Guest account will not work. The intent is to see if it is specific to one account or a system wide problem. This account can be deleted later.
Isolating an issue by using another user account
Try booting into the Safe Mode using your normal account. Disconnect all peripherals except those needed for the test. Shut down the computer and then power it back up after waiting 10 seconds. Immediately after hearing the startup chime, hold down the shift key and continue to hold it until the gray Apple icon and a progress bar appear and again when you log in. The boot up is significantly slower than normal. This will reset some caches, forces a directory check, and disables all startup and login items, among other things. When you reboot normally, the initial reboot may be slower than normal. If the system operates normally, there may be 3rd party applications which are causing a problem. Try deleting/disabling the third party applications after a restart by using the application un-installer. For each disable/delete, you will need to restart if you don’t do them all at once.

Horizontal lines flashing on the screen amoung a lot of other issues

Thanks.

hi angryone.
usually green lines points that you are having ram or graphic card ( could be also converter cable issue )
can you check if your ram sticks working fine? you can also try to remove/replace?swap the ram sticks and use one of each time to check if it is ram issue.
if it doesn't help, i'm sorry to say that but you will need hardware support so i suggest you to contact lenovo support line.
hope this helps.

DL Powerbook horizontal lines become cross-hatch pattern

I'm experiencing the same horizontal line issue as many others have reported.
I decided to try changing the number of colors my diplay uses from millions to thousands. After doing this, I notice a cross-hatch or regular little squares pattern instead of horizontal lines. It is epecially obvious on light grays such as the gray behind "Apple Discussions" at the top of this web page.
When I use the digital color meter app with millions of colors, the gray I'm talking about is one uniform 88.6% in RGB, but when I change to thousands, a regular pattern of 90.6% and 87.1% RGB pops out. And, when I move the window around the desktop, the pattern of dark and light grays changes, but always from one obviously regular pattern to another.
When I do the same changes and measurements on my old 17" cinema display hooked up to a powermac G4, the RGB numbers are approximately the same, but there is no (easily recognizable) regular pattern. So instead of looking like a cross-hatch or a bunch of little squares or whatever, it just looks gray. With thousands of colors, my new powerbook chooses to draw a regular pattern in a solid color, while my old powermac doesn't and the pattern it chooses depends on the window's position on the screen.
I don't know if it means anything, but it's clearly a difference in color display between a cinema display with no horizontal lines and a new powerbook with horizontal lines.
But, this doesn't work in millions of colors. The DCM tells me there are no color differences in the light gray, even though my eye can clearly see horizontal lines.
Any thoughts?

Hi Charles,
You're quite right in this description.
I noticed the sort of textured look on the screen even before I noticed the lines. It's kind of like the texture of a polo tshirt only very subtle and finely detailed.
Anyway, how did your attempt to return it at the Apple Store on Miracle Mile go?

What is the white horizontal line and red vertical line on my brand new ipad mini?

Bought a brand new ipad mini 2 for my sons Christmas, took it out the box and it was during the set up process, ie entering his iTunes and icloud account, a white horizontal line and a red vertical line appeared on the screen and is there all the time now. Have tried switching off and on and resetting, but it is still there. Any ideas??

Hi Tolmivooz,
So the lines didn't appear until you were into the setup?
Does the orientation of the lines change when you rotate the screen?
Thanks for trying the restart and reset. Please see if a restore helps.
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.

Subtle horizontal lines in HDV footage exported from iMovie 06

Hello!
I just bought a Cannon HV-30, which I'll be using to film an instructional DVD. I'm hoping to use iMovie 06 to edit, and was planning on using iDVD until I realized how tricky DVD authoring is, if you want to sell thousands of copies of your DVD and have any hope of them playing on people's DVD players.
At any rate, I still want to be able to burn drafts of my film using iDVD. I tried doing this yesterday, but my footage was distorted both in the iDVD preview, and in the DVD I burned. The distortion looked different depending on how big the preview window was. When it was fairly small, I'd get this wavy, ripply effect whenever the camera panned. When I maximized the window, and also in the DVD (which was full-screen), I'd get a more subtle jagged edge to vertical lines--every-other-line on the monitor would stick out, like a fine-toothed comb. When there wasn't movement in the film, things looked pretty good, except for a bit of horizontal-lines visible.
I made my first DVD by using the Export... iDVD function. After I read on this forum that this doesn't produce the best quality, I tried importing the iMovie project into iDVD, but I got similar results.
Any ideas?
Thanks a ton,
Rob

DVDs look best on the system they were designed for: CRT TV sets with 640x480 square pixels NTSC (768x576 square pixels PAL)
When 'blownup' in size on large computer monitors or large HD TV sets the image quality will be less than optimum - that's why the new Blu-ray were created.
There are steps you can take when shooting your video that will help. Remember that mpg compression works on the differences between frames and anything that creates unnecessary difference between frames will cause reduced mpg compressed quality. So: use a tripod to avoid camera shake; make all your pans slow and smooth; and shoot with plenty of light to avoid the 'grain' caused by electronic noise in low light situations.
