Red purple lines in iPhone 5 camera bcos of 3G electromagnetic radiation

I Am getting red and purple lines in my iPhone 5. I contacted the customer care India and the lady Ms. Shahana mentioned that this is bcos of 3G signal interference and electromagnetic radiation , it's shocking that such an issue can happen only on iPhones and not non iPhones. If Apple had this defect why are they still manufacturing defective products?

I Did that before putting this post, as the service center only told me that I need to contact customer care on phone as they cannot replace my iPhone as they feel this is not a software nor a hardware issue and they themselves will not get a replacement from Bangalore headoffice. They were scared to accept my iPhone and for giving me service. I feel I was cheated by apple and apple service, hence have marked email for this. Also, I sent the required error bug images as requested by apple customer care and they said decision of service center is final and only if service center is able to replicate this issue, they will replace this. I fail to understand that how will the service center replicate this random occurring issue. They just cannot.

Contact Apple for warranty replacement

There were frequent purple line appear on photo taken with my iPhone 5 camera, is this the defect of product?

there were frequent purple line appear on photo taken with my iPhone 5 camera, is this the defect of product?

So it looks like I ran out of AppleCare two weeks ago, what a shame. I guess it's not worth $260 to receive a new handset simply for a dusty camera. However this is still annoying due to the fact that the phone shouldn't have dust behind the lens anyway. I think this situation is a bit unfair since this is a malfuntion of hardware and it is also disappointing that so many people have this problem with the iPhone 5 in particular. :X
Thanks for your help though Templeton!

3rd iPhone 5, due to purple lines when using the camera.

I am now on my 3rd iPhone 5 in a year, after a lot of hassle getting one, but that was down to Vodafone, never use them again.
My 1st 2 iPhone 5's were fine for about 5/6 months, and then when I used the camera a lot, they started getting purple lines on the screen.
The 1st time this happened it was there every time I tried to use the camera, but the 2nd time it happened it disappeared afterwards, but, as you would expect I still had it replaced.
Although the 2nd time the 'genius' at Kingston were not so helpful, and told me that it was software, and was due to me restoring from a backup from my previous iPhone, I explained that I hadn't, but they wouldn't have it, but then realized that I was telling the truth, but didn't apologize, just said, 'oh you didn't restore did you?'
My phone is now out of warranty and Apple can not guarantee it wont happen again, or what they will do if it does. and the 'genius' said to e-mail Apple, but couldn't give me an e-mail address.
I think I'll be returning to android when my upgrade is next due.
Who else has had this issue?
And what did Apple do? Did they help you?
Why do Apple have no e-mail address for customers, or even an actual address!
It seems unbelievable!

I have the same issue - perhaps not exact but extremely similar. In photo mode, there is a small purplish speck, which I initially thought as dust or something, and of course it ends of in photos taken. However, this speck is not present in video mode, meaning there is no dust, but some sort of artifact on the photo processor or something. Either way, itsa product defect - I plan on seeing if Apple will support this and replace thephone.....

Does anyone know if apple will rellace my phone or fix it
Thanks in advance!!!

Have you tried restarting or resetting your iPhone?
Restart: Press On/Off button until the Slide to Power Off slider appears, select Slide to Power Off and, after the iPhone shuts down, then press the On/Off button until the Apple logo appears.
Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds). Ignore the "Slide to power off"

IPhone camera purple dots

Just today I went to snapchat and found that there was purple dots on my screen, thought it was something stuck to the outside of the rear camera but I cleaned it and it's still there, went onto my actual camera and there is actually 2 there not just the one
I saw someone asked this before and the reply was take it to the apple store as it had happened to a few others who then got a replacement, but as my phone is out of warranty now, I don't think I'll get a replacement
What should I do as I don't really like the idea of paying about £250 for a refurbished phone but also don't want to use a camera that has noticeable purple dots

On my Iphone 4 S photos are showing purple line

Hi,
On my iphone4s when i click on Photo app few of the photos are showing purple lines and when i open that photo it is showing as normal.
can you please suggest what might be the issue here.
Thanks

To make a ringtone you need your <30 second clip in AAC (.m4a) format on your computer, you then change the extension to .m4r and drop the resulting file into the Automatically add to iTunes folder for it to get added to iTunes as a Tone. Sync your tones to the device and then you can select them using Settings > Sounds.

IPhoto Not Deleting iPhone Camera Pictures

When I connect my iPhone to my Mac, iPhoto launches and offers to import the pictures for me. (I want this behavior). It then asks what to do with duplicates, and I tell it don't import duplicates. After the photos have been imported, it offers to delete the photos on my iPhone...I tell it "Yes"...but it doesn't delete them.
Do I have to delete camera roll photos manually on my iPhone?

Hi,
Not sure if this will help but this is what I did.
1) If you have synched and transferred your iPhone camera roll photo's to your Mac and did not select the iPhoto option to delete the originals off the iPhone as part of transfer process, then you like me, now have two sets of photo's: the originals on the iPhone and the identical photos transferred into iPhoto.
2) As I took more iPhone photo's and did additional synchs/transfers to iPhoto, unless I choose to "delete originals" as part of the iPhoto transfer, I continued to have more and more images left on my iPhone. I was never able to clear out the camera roll once and for all.
3) Short of going one by one on the iPhone camera roll and deleting the images, what I now use is the Apple app, "*__Image Capture_*"
4) Attach your iPhone to your Mac as if you were going to synch. Go to your Apps folder, open the "Image Capture" app. After it loads you will see on the left hand side under Devices your iPhone listed.
5) Select your iPhone, and in the main image Capture window you will then see all the images currently on your iPhone camera roll. You can now select all or some and click the Delete button (Red Circle with a line thru it) at the bottom of the Image Capture screen. This will delete them from the iphone and clear your camera roll.
(NOTE: please make sure you have already transferred the images off your iPhone if you want to keep them, because as far as I know, once you delete them this way from your iPhone they are gone.)
6) As an additional option, you can if you so desire, opt to click on the "Delete after Import" box (lower right corner in the main Image Capture page). The means that all future transfers/synch of images from your iPhone to iPhoto will be deleted afterwards whether or not you say so in iPhoto transfer.
Hope this helps. It did for me, I was able to finally removed the 800 or so photo's I had left behind on my iPhone. My camera roll is clean now and the process works much better, at least for me.

Purple line across photo images

I recently got an iPhone 3GS, which unfortunatley I had to replace (dust under screen).
Now I have noticed on my new one, that whenever I take a picture (doesn't matter if its through an app or the normal camera) or even a video, I have this horrible purple line across my pictures, which then saves onto the picture. Am I going to need to get another replacement? Is it a common problem? I tried to Google it but I couldn't find any information about it.
Example:

Thanks.

Yes, unfortunately it sounds like another hardware issue...
You can certainly try to hard reset and then full restore using "set up as new iPhone" ... but I doubt this will help... if it doesn't resolve then software is not the root cause for your issue... thus another replacement is needed sorry!!

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.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Best,

Green/purple lines up and down right side of 27" imac

I bought my 27" iMac about 6 months ago, running Boot Camp (problem is not exclusive to one OS, it happens in both Windows and OSX). It started as just a small, isolated square of purple lines that randomly appeared one day as I turned it on. It went away fairly quickly, so I thought nothing of it. It came back less than a month later, except now it went completely up and down the monitor in a thin stripe. It would flicker between purple and green lines, then go away; it usually happened immediately following starup but would go away pretty soon. It got progressively worse and worse, as now it takes up the entire right quarter of the screen, happens basically every half hour or so, continually going away and coming back. Sometimes it will be a stripe, sometimes it will go to the end of the monitor, it is not possible to predict when it will happen, or how bad it will be. Interestingly, if I bring up a window that is completely white, it will go away. It has to be completely white, not even slightly gray. Incredibly frustrating, considering I spent $2200 on this thing.
I've taken several pictures when it happens, I try and go into the Apple store and see if they have any insight, but they tell me they can't tell me anything unless I schedule a meeting at the Genius Bar and bring my iMac in. Worst policy I've ever heard, I'm supposed to bring my heavy, gigantic computer to a crowded mall because they refuse to offer me any support? Or at least tell me, "Yes, that is a common problem, if you bring it in, we can fix it." I have to bring it there, and then take a chance that it won't get fixed right there. Excellent. Especially considering I use my computer daily for school AND work, I cannot afford to go a single day without this machine. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, were they able to fix it? I've included pictures of both the first time it happened, as well as random times it has happened since then.

apple just released a firmware to fix a graphics issue with some Imacs have you tried upgrading to that? It doesn't say anything about this type of issue, but you might want to start there.
If not I would set and apt. and take it into the store it looks like there is something really wrong with the monitor. I saw a friends monitor do something that and he said it ended being an over heating issue. Ether way you have to take it in so they can replace it or send it to be fixed. Sometimes they are able to fix things in the store, but can't do anything for you with out it there.
It is better then going into a best buy and saying fix my PC.

I have purple lines running through keyboard and picture are distorted

I have purple lines run through the keys on typing pad when I press them as well as distorted pictures . Is this a software or hardware problem?

Try #2 and #3 in link below. If neither work, you most likely have a hardware issue.

TS3274 My Ipad display screen is coming up with blue background and pink/purple lines all across the screen. It's also blurry and difficult to see icons on home screen and when apps are opened up. Has anyone had a similar problem?

The display screen on my Ipad is coming up all blurred with blue background mixed with pink and purple lines. It's difficult to see icons but apps are still accessible. Colors are off and images are very unclear on apps and home screen.
Has anyone had this problem or any advice on troubleshooting?
Thanks.

First thing to try is to reset your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider should one appear until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the device restart. See if that fixes your problem.
But it could also be a hardware failure. Make an appointment at an Apple Store to have your device examined by a technician. Or contact Apple Support.
