Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

You can do it at an Apple store by making an appointment:
Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
or send it in to Apple. See:

    Hard to help without knowing which variant of iMac you have. They've been in continuous production since 1998 in four major families, and what works for one familiy of iMac may not work to diagnose one from another family.
    Doing "About ths Mac" will show the processor info. Post what it says about your processor (and Mac OS version while you are there) and that will narrow what family of iMac you have.
    This forum section is for the three iMac families made before 2006.

  • My screen has greens and black lines going down the middle an I can't access anything. What could be wrong? It happened all the sudden.

    You're welcome! I feel your pain - both "closest" Apple Stores to me are almost 2 hours away. When I called for another problem under warranty the AppleCare guy checked my zip code and found an AASP (Authorized Apple Service Provider) 20 minutes from me I had no idea existed. They diagnosed the problem (bad bluetooth keyboard) and ordered a new one for me. The AppleCare person will probably use this http://www.apple.com/buy/locator/service/ so you can check it now. And AppleCare could well diagnose your problem over the phone anyway. And I feel certain it wasn't something you did inadvertently.

    Hello there, Adavidson137.
    The following Knowledge Base article offers some great clarification on display anomalies:
    About LCD display pixel anomalies for Apple products released in 2010 and later

    The following steps for troubleshooting iPhone display issues can also be useful for your iPad as well:

    Display image issues
    This can include bright or dark pixels, lines in video, or sections of video missing.
    Try turning iPhone off and then on again.
    Verify the issue is not content related, by viewing different content.
    If the image is too dark, adjust the brightness. In General Settings choose Brightness and Wallpaperand slide the slider.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.
    Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,

  • Weird horizontal white lines going across the screen

    I've had my nano 4g for around six months. When I first bought it, there was a single white line going across the top of the screen. It never really got in the way, so I didn't bother exchanging the ipod. Recently, another white line of pixels appeared lower on the screen. This line is there even while I reset it.
    Besides replacing the screen or exchanging the iPod, is there anything that I can do to fix this?

    It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
    My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
    It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
    Good luck!

  • My iPad first generation has a 2 1/2" gray line going through the center of it.... Noe it has turned blach and has very thin lines of multiple color at the bottom of the black on the lower side only.  .  IS IT DEAD...

    Unable to add image.

    I Also have this problem!!
    In my situation, the screen simply started exhibiting the same symptoms a few weeks ago (early February) for no apparent reason.  At first I thought the screen was dead, but discovered the heat solution by accident.  Now I turn it on and keep it from going to sleep until I go to bed.  Thank goodness the battery is still awesome on this thing.
    I bought it new and still has the original screen, I keep it at home (never below 62 degrees).  Coincidentally, this happened a day or two after the expiration of the warranty!!  Any help figuring this one out would be eternally appreciated.

  • Display: Gray horizontal line going through center of Menu Bar?

    I have this strange grey line going through the center of the Menu Bar, al the way through, difficulting the reading of the symbols! Please advise. Thanks, Diego
    Powerbook G4 1.67 High   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    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.

  • Line Going Down My Screen

    I just turned on my iPhone and theres a purple and blue line going down the screen vertically and I have no idea why.
    Everything works though.
    It's wierd becuase it was fine just about an hour ago.
    Any ideas?

    I've tried reseting thinking this was just a glitch or something but that was no luck.
    I've dropped it before but not any time recently. It was just sitting next to my computer when i turned it on and it was like this.
    It's not like its prohibiting me from using it in any way, it's just really annoying.

  • My i pad has a white line going down screen.buts it not crack.how do i fix it

    my i pad has a white line going down the middle, but its not cracked . how do i fix it ?

    If a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears does not help, it needs a visit to the Apple store genius bar for testing be the techs.

  • When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects

    When I render and Export there are these little lines around moving objects, what are they and how do I fix it?

    The lines are caused by the video being interlaced.
    If you export to DVD they should no longer appear. However, if they don't disappear you can use the Deinterlace filter on the footage whilst in FCE.
    How are you exporting ..... QT Movie or QT Conversion ....... and what are you exporting to - the internet or DVD?
