  • My iPod 5th generation has white lines across the screen and i cannot unlock it

    My iPod has white lines across the screen. I cannot do anything! Somebody please help! P.S. I dropped it and it did this.

    Try:
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode

    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order. I suspect that the drop damaged the iPod

    Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $99 for 16 GB 5G and $149 for the other 5Gs. They do not fix yours.

  • Viewing a pdf in Firefox browser has white lines. How can I fix the problem?

    Viewing a pdf document in the FireFox browser (other browsers the document is fine) shows white lines though the pictures. I have tried different ways to save the document (printing or save as) as a pdf and I either get white lines or missing content while viewing on Firefox.

    Please update to the latest version of Firefox.
    *[[Update Firefox to the latest version]]
    Also make sure that your graphics card drivers and WebGl drivers are up to date
    *[[Upgrade your graphics drivers to use hardware acceleration and WebGL]]
    Which pdf viewer are you using?
    In order to change the default reader for PDF files (to not open PDF files with Firefox's internal PDF reader), follow these steps:
    #Click the menu button [[Image:New Fx Menu]] and click Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac).
    #In the Options (Preferences for Linux and Mac) window, select the ''Applications'' panel.
    #In the ''Search'' field, type ''PDF''. You should find ''Portable Document Format (PDF)''.
    #On the right hand side you should find an ''Action'' column. Use that to select your favorite PDF reader. In order to view PDF files in Firefox, choose ''Preview in Firefox''.
    Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!
    Thank you.

  • Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

    The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

    Also,
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • Colored and white lines across iPad screen

    Ok so I got home from work and I pulled my iPad out of my laptop bag and I noticed that when I turn it on there are like these colored lines and also this big white bar across the screen. Why are those things there?
    http://www.flickr.com/photos/53513466@N03/4946889384/

    My son bought the original ipad in November 2010, it is now only a few weeks out of warranty. He turned it on tonight and as other people have mentioned on this forum the ipad now has coloured lines across the screen.  I called customer services and I must say i am extrememly disappointed with the response I got.  They offered me a replacement for £260.....  no other explanation other than it may be a hardware problem.  After paying £600 for the original ipad only just over a year ago I would expect better from Apple.  Myself, my husband and my three children all have iphones and other apple products but I must say if this is the support you get then I would consider other options in the future.  Very disappointing.......  If anyone else other than a customer service agent who reads from a script can help then please get in touch. Thanks

    This shouldn't happen. Take it back since it's new.

  • White Lines Across Powerpoint files converted to PDF

    I have a number of PDF files that were created from Microsoft Powerpoint presentations on a Windows PC. The Preview inspector says they were created with Acrobat Distiller 8.2.2. Until recently, these PDFs looked 100% correct when viewed in Preview or Safari. Now, though, they have horizontal white lines across the pages. There are 6 white lines on each page, evenly spaced, each about 1 pixel in height. They stay at 1 pixel in height even when I zoom in/out on the document. At some zoom levels (100% being one of them), the area above and below some lines will become misaligned. When viewed with Adobe Reader 9, the lines are not there but the misalignment is (though it is not exactly the same as in Preview). Unfortunately, I can't say when this started happening other than it was fine in September (2010) and isn't this afternoon (Nov 22, 2010). It happens on a coworker's Macbook Pro as well as my iMac so it is not something unique to my Mac.
    Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas as to how to fix it?

    Hi, I am having this problem also on my iMac. Some of the images have the lines and some of them don't. When the PDFs are printed, the lines don't show. My problem is that these PDFs will be linked to on a website for the clients to print, and they will seem them with the lines. They are pretty unsightly, and my boss has put this into my lap to figure out, since I am the designer. Did you ever find an answer for this? I don't know where else to turn, since this company is insisting on using Pages, rather than something like InDesign.

  • Flickering Grey / White lines across browser when video/animation is being played

    Hi,
    For a while now i've been getting these flickering grey/white lines across my browser, usually only noticeable when a flash animation, video or embedded advert is being played on the page. I only ever seemed to notice it happening when using Google Chrome, and a few tips suggested disabling one of the Adobe flash plugins on chrome. This seemed to fix the issue, until recently it came back again.
    I decided to try and reinstall Chrome, which is when i noticed the issue happening in Safari too, which made me believe that it wasn't a browser problem but my Mac itself.
    The lines seem to appear quite intermittently and only when a video or animation is being played.
    Another thing i should mention is that i've not yet noticed this happening when watching video directly from my hard drive, it only ever seems to happen when i'm streaming online e.g. youtube, netflix etc But with the likes of netflix, it stops happening when i'm in full screen?
    I'm currently using a Macbook Pro Mid 2010, OS X Mavericks 10.9.3. I also had the Logic Board replaced under a year ago due to other issues.
    I also use dual monitors, My macbook pro and a Dell 27" IPS monitor. The flickering lines appear on both monitors, so it shouldn't be a display issue.
    Below is a link to a video of the issue i'm having whilst i was visiting youtube:
    http://youtu.be/En9zFT1HQ6I
    Any suggestions to fix this would be appreciated,
    Thanks,
    Marie

    I have also been having this problem. I recently bought a new iMac to relieve this aging computer, and kept this guy as a backup. I wiped the computer and installed Mavericks, and this problem keeps coming up. I have almost nothing on this computer... which is why I have no idea why it's having issues. The extended hardware test also shows nothing. Also tried resetting PRAM/SMC, which seems to make it go away for a little while.
    Before I reset and upgraded to Mavericks, I was having another weird graphics issue where things would fragment and freeze either momentarily or permanently until I restarted. This mostly happened while I was using Skype. I brought it into the Apple Store several times but they apparently could never re-create the problem... I have a feeling these are related. I'm afraid the graphics card is failing and of course the warranty has run out.

  • White line across an audio track on premiere pro cc

    In trying to access the waveform and volume control on a clip I don't know what I did but now there is a white line across the entire track preventing me from moving clips on that track - can anyone help me turn this off?  thanks!

    it wont show the waveform unless "zoomed" in enough. if this is the case for you, you can use the scroll wheel over the audio track (A1 for example), and scroll up or down to zoom in and out. its also possible to zoom in using the scroll bar handles to the right, at the end of timeline.  make sure "show audio waveform" and "show audio keyframes" is turned on to see the audio waveform and volume automation line. you can hold down the ctrl key instead of switching to the pen tool, to create new points when clicking the white line. adjust as needed...

  • Does anyone know how to get a white line across text like the USA basketball logo?

    does anyone know how to get a white line across text like the USA basketball logo?

    Draw the shape which is to be knocked out (a line in the example) in a layer above the logo. The colour doesn't matter because it will be made invisible.
    Double-click in the space to the right of the layer's name in Layers panel to open its Layer Style window where advanced blending can be modified.
    Set Fill Opacity to zero and Knockout to "Deep" or "Shallow" depending on whether the knockout should be limited to a containing Group.
