Strange line appeared on iPhone 3G

Today, a short line has appeared on the top black panel just under the earphone jack. It looks to be INSIDE the glass screen and NOT an external scratch. It won't go away.
Anyone else had this, and is it grounds for a replacement (purchased from O2)?

Hey Pete,
Do you see the line when the iPhone is powered off? Just hold the Sleep/Wake button until it you see slide to power off, then slide to power off.
If so, the iPhone may need hardware repair. Make a reservation to have a Genius at a local Apple retail store take a look at it or call AppleCare.

Strange lines appearing behind itunes

I went away for the holidays, and when I got back I booted up my 2006 iMac. Today for the first time, there are strange lines appearing behind iTunes whenever it is open but not the active window. I tried quitting and restarting iTunes, but the lines come back. I wish I could upload a screen shot of what this looks like on my desktop, it's very weird. It does not happen behind any other program window. Only iTunes. The lines appear as if they are extensions of the iTunes window formatting, in line with the side bars, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Any tips for getting it to quit?

I just wanted to add that I am also seeing the same problem: strange lines around the borders of the iTunes window. The most obvious ones are a set of four vertical lines running parallel to both sides of the iTunes window, although there are other strange bits as well, mostly around the top corners of the window, as well as a single thin horizontal line above the top of the iTunes window. These unusual lines started appearing "out of the blue" sometime in the past few weeks -- as in, not right after an update or any other configuration change to my mac... The only change I can say I did recently was to update to OS 10.6.6, although I know others who are running 10.6.6 and aren't having this issue with iTunes. I also wanted to add that in my case, I only see these strange lines when iTunes is the active window. Further to that, updating to iTunes 10.1.2 does not fix the problem, unfortunately.

Strange line appearing on my home page

I keep having a strange rectangular line appearing on just my home page below the banner. How can I fix this?

Thanks for the reply. It is just appearing on the actual web site, not in iWeb. Regardless of what computer the website is accessed from, the line still appears. I am not finding anything on the layout or view option in actual iWeb.

Strange lines appear in tables?

Whenever I delete a row or column at the end of a table a strange black line appears, I have to keep going back to strokes and fills to adjust the table to have I want it. Is there something I am doing wrong?

Before and after screen shots would be very helpful, along with the version of ID and your OS. Embed the images in a post using the camera icon on the web page like this:

Strange lines appear around transparent PNG's when document PDF'ed

Hi
I have inserted some transparent PNG images into my Pages document, and they look fine on my screen, and they also look fine when I export to PDF and view in Preview.
However, if I view the PDF in Acrobat (or send it to a Non-Mac user and they view it in Acrobat), there are thin lines around many of the PNG images, which make them look ugly and sloppy, and very un-Mac-Like! Any ideas why these lines are appearing and how to prevent them?

Hi logree
Welcome to the forum.
My guess is that it is showing just the edge of the masked background used to hide the alpha channel background of the .png.
This happens I think, because the postscript mask may be centred on the outside rows of pixels in Acrobat, with half the pixels still being revealed.
You can try masking in Pages' instead:
+Menu > Format > Instant Alpha+
or try a Photoshop file with transparent background, to see if that eliminates the problem.

Strange lines on my screen

Recently I have noticed strange lines appearing on the screen of my MacBook Pro - they appear and disappear randomly. I have noticed it especially on and around icons, as well as around the edges of Finder windows. Today it escalated to the point where I couldn't see anything on the screen (see attached screenshot). My computer is about 3 years old and I haven't had any problems with it.
I just recently upgraded to Mavericks - could this have anything to do with it? The problem started shortly thereafter.
Please help!!

Disabling "Automatic Graphics Switching" seems to work to resolve this problem.

Strange lines

I create tutorials for a company. Ever since I started using
Adobe Captivate 3 (over a year), strange lines appear in the
rendered version of certain screen shots. These lines only appear
in a consistent group of screen shots. I have tried every angle I
could think of to get rid of them including:
Exporting the existing backgrounds and inserting them into a
new project.
Taking new screen shots.
Importing the project into Flash 8.
Pulling out my hair.
Again, these lines do not appear in the project until I
render it into a flash file and run it.

Welcome to our community, Scoot
Have you tried the following? Right-click the slides
exhibiting the behavior and choose Properties. Then adjust the
Quality. Perhaps JPEG or something else.
Cheers... Rick

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!

Strange things appears suddenly in the iPhone 3GS

Hi
I am writing in this forum because something strange occurs with my iPhone 3GS, not always. Suddenly, when I have the iPhone locked, a strange screen appears.

Anybody knows what does it means? It goes by as the same quickness than it appears.

This is known as "flash" or "class 0" sms ot text. The message appears directly on the screen and isn't saved in the sms message log. It is utilized by some network administrators and sometimes by others if they know the right codes. Not all cell networks support them and iPhones sometimes don't handle them properly.

White lines appear on videos since my new Mac Pro - Why?

Hello,
I'm the happy owner of a Mac Pro 2,7 GHz 12-Core Intel Xeon E5 / 64 gig RAM / 2X AMD FirePro D700 6144 Mo running on OS X 10.9.3 (13D65).
I'm using CC latest version but also Red Giant Magic Bullet LOOKS to color grade my videos (on an adjustment layer). I have 3 HDD (1 SSD in the computer with the programs + 1 external (Thunderbold) G-RAID for cache files + 1 external Pegasus R6 2 (Thunderbolt 2) for the footage).
Sometimes, when reading (but more often when exporting in Media Encoder) white lines appear on the video (see image below). Why?
Is that a Premiere problem? Is something going wrong with my Mac? I have already reinstalled everything from scratch but the problem remains...
I was working with the same programs on my previous iMac and I didn't have this problem.
Any idea ?

Is it an Adobe or a Mac Pro 2013 related problem? Does everyone using the GPU acceleration have the same problem?
So far, it appears to be an issue with OS X 10.9.2 and up. Some folks that are beta testing 10.9.4 have reported that the strange artifacts no longer appear while using Hardware mode, but a few folks are still having Premiere crashes with it. My suspicion is that we're seeing two separate problems with Premiere on the new Mac Pro when using Hardware mode: 1) artifacts, lines, etc on exports and 2) application crashes. Neither of these appear to happen when Pr and AME are put into Software mode. Given the commonality of the problems (using GPUs on the new Mac Pro) some folks seem to think they're directly related. My gut tells me they aren't.
The challenge for the folks at Adobe and other third party app developers is that the boys (and girls) in Cupertino are changing things within OS X a bit too quickly, for better, for worse. Some of these changes are what I call "ninja patches" where they don't really explain what they're changing or why. I strongly suspect that's what's going on here. They sneaked something into OS X 10.9.2 and haven't un-sneaked it yet. Folks are strongly encouraging Adobe to address this issue pronto, but if Cupertino keeps altering the guts of the OS, how can they?

Strange lines when exporting from Illustrator

I am having an issue that's driving me crazy, I've tried everything and I still can't figure out why it's doing this.
I created a template in Illustrator, very basic, just some 1 inch circles.   The goal is to color them in different color palettes and then save it as a PDF.   In Illustrator, they show up completely fine, the pattern fills sometimes have those little seam lines but those don't show up at 100% so I'm not worried about that.
My issue is that when I bring these graphics into Photoshop, these little white lines appear in random places,   these are not pattern seam lines and there's no reason I can think of for them to be there. I figured it may have been a corrupt file, so I started from scratch and the lines are still there. I've tried copying it directly from Illustrator and pasting it into Photoshop, same issue. Saving as a TIFF, same issue.
Here's an example of the line I'm talking about, it's faint but noticeable on my screen,   any idea what might be causing this?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v648/hazelsmrf/line.jpg
The only thing I can think of is that when I turn off all pattern fills and only use solid color fills, these lines don't show up. I'm not sure why a pattern fill on a circle two circles away would cause a line to show up on a solid colored circle that's completely unrelated to the pattern fill though.   I am using CS5.

My Illustrator is fully up to date so that doesn't seem to be the issue.
I loaded the PDF into Acrobat reader and those lines don't show up there, they only show up in Photoshop, strange?
How I've brought it into Photoshop: save as, PDF, or Tiff, these didn't work.
Copied it directly from AI into PS, did not work.
Saved as .AI and loaded that into PS, did not work.
I just tried it as PSD and it worked! However I've not been able to duplicate that because every time I've tried to export it to PSD since then it says I don't have enough memory, argh.   Not sure why it worked the first time and not after.
Oh and the pattern fills were created with a blank no fill square on the bottom, then a color filled square on top, and then a few circles in a diagonal to make a polka dot pattern. Nothing goes past the square, there's nothing in outline mode to show why it would do this.

White line appearing at top of screen on SD and some HD

I've noticed a white line appearing atop my broadcast watching SD and some HD channels.
I know this line is part of the broadcast signal which is responsible for closed captioning or some other technical aspects. From what I've researched, a TV's overscan should crop out that part of the broadcast, unfortunately mine is not.
Here's my set up:
Vizio VL320M 32" 1080P HDTV (receiving signal via HDMI from receiver)
Sony STR-DH700 Receiver (receivers HDMI switch outputting signal to Vizio TV)
Motorola QIP6416-2 DVR STB (connected via HDMI to receiver HDMI switch)
I can crop out the white line by setting my Vizio to Zoom1 or Stretch, though this distorts the image and is a pain to reset for channels which do not experience this problem.
I can also adjust the TV's vertical posistion up a few to get rid of the line, BUT when I switch HDMI ports to goto my xbox 360, then switch back to the HDMI port my cable is on, it appears that the STB resets my signal position and the line comes back.
I haven't tried component, and really do not want to switch from HDMI to component as some sort of work around.
If anyone has any suggestion to resolve this problem, please post. Thanks for any suggestions.

I think I may have narrowed down the problem. I believe it's a handshake issue occurring between my Sony receiver and my TV, though I could be wrong. Maybe some of you A/V experts can see otherwise.
I've come to this conclusion because of the vertical setting being returned to its default position upon switching ports on my Sony's HDMI switch. Keep in mind my STB is connected to a port on my Receiver's HDMI switch and my receivers HDMI output is connected to my TV.
I can crop out the white broadcast line by simply adjusting the vertical position of my screen up of few pixels. HOWEVER, when I switch HDMI ports on my receiver, then come back to the port my STB is on, the vertical position resets itself to the default position, even though my TV's vertical setting never changed.
Here's another possible confirmation. If I press the menu button on my Vizio's remote, immediately upon the TV's menu appearing the vertical position goes to the position that's set in the TV. Strange, but that's what leads me to believe there's a conflict occurring somewhere between my receiver and TV.
I have confirmed this behavior does not occur when I connect my STB directly to my TV. I can switch my TV's HDMI ports and the vertical position holds.
I contacted Sony support, and they want me to take my receiver to a service center. I doubt that there's a problem with my receiver that can be fixed, so I'm just gonna use a workaround by activating my TV's menu so the handshake can complete after switching HDMI ports.
Since I have a universal remote that's capable of macro layering, it's just a matter of programming a layered macro to goto my STB port then activate the TV menu to initiate the vertical setting. Maybe at some other point in time I'll lug my receiver in, though unless I'm positive it can be fixed, I really don't feel like pulling apart my home theatre and explaining this to techs if I'm not even sure it can be fixed.
If anyone else knows of a better workaround please feel free to post it. Thanks.
