Thin Black Vertial lines Help

My macbook pro is just over a year and a half old. The past few days it has been acting a little strange. All of a sudden these think black vertical lines apear and slowly move in a upwards motion like it is filling back in after the screen refreshes. Also you get shadows of boxes that have been there but have moved. When this happens the computer usually is really hot and at 100% processes. Also the process syslogD keeps on popping up at using all my processing.
Does anyone have an idea of what caused this? I haven't done anything different with my computer then usual.
Thanks!

Since the Apple Store folks could not replicate the problem, you may want to consider a cause that is part of your particular environment.
For example, if you use a power strip (surge suppressor), what else is connected to the same power strip? Is it possible that you may have too many power-hungry devices connected to the same single wall outlet, and the iMac is not getting sufficient power? Or maybe it's some electrical interference with another device on the same circuit? As a test, try disconnecting everything else, and see if the problem recurs, or connect the iMac directly to a wall outlet by itself to see if the problem recurs.
Try moving the iMac to a different location in your home and running it to see if the problem recurs.

  • Thin black horizontal lines on 24" iMac screen/transparent dock icons

    I have a 24" 3.06 GHz iMac (purchased in August 2008) and noticed after about a half hour of running basic programs (Mail, iTunes, Firefox) I start to get horizontal lines near the top and bottom of my screen. Then if I watch a full screen video I can see my dock icons look almost transparent through the video. I took my iMac into the Apple store last month and told them about it and they kept it for 3 days and ran their "tests" and stressed the computer out to get it to do it for them but they couldn't replicate the problem. They suggested that it might be my cordless phone is too close to the screen and the frequency of the cordless phone could be causing the problem but I tried moving the phone and it still does it. When the display is off for hours and I turn it back on the lines are not there, but once I have it on for a half hour they come back and don't go away until I power off or sleep the display. I've attached a few pics of what I'm experiencing. Thank you very much.

  • Super thin black border showing around video when I zoom out or pan the video...

    Hi all,
    I have a video I'm making in Adobe Premier Pro CS5.5. I am using 2 video slots in Premiere Pro's sequence area. A white image is in "Video 1" spot and a video is in"Video 2" spot.
    The white image in "Video 1" slot is the exact same color as the background color of the video in "Video 2" slot.
    The reason for this is when I zoom the video out or pan it slightly off the screen I just want it to look like the video is moving (and I don't want anyone to be able to see the black backdrop that is normal background color on a Premiere Pro video).
    After I go to effects control, and change the position and scale of the video; the video scales out and pans over fine ...however, the border of the video shows slightly ...even flickers a little. Is there a way to get rid of this thin black border line? ..So no one can tell where the video (in "video 2" slot) ends and where that white background I have in "video 1" is ...by removing this flickering border?
    Here's a Screencast of the issue. I point at that thin border I'm talking about when I pan the video over (which reveals the white backdrop):http: Screencast.com/t/45xp0bQ82f
    Thank you so much for any help you can provide. I appreciate it.

  • Black horizontal line ipad mini Safari

    New iPad mini appears to be having problems already.  While using Safari in some websites, a fairly thin black horizontal line will appear typically in the middle of the page.  It usually gravitates towards the spot where you try to read.  Thin enough to kind of underline text for easier reading but big enough to be a nuisance.  Is this a feature for easier reading in Safari or a bug. 
    Please help,

    Michele,
    I know this was mostly answered, but I am there with you. It's a very frustrating problem and you are not alone.
    Merging the keyboard and splitting it again, as well as hard closing Safari, seemd to fix it, if only temporarily.
    Slightly lifting the split keyboard from the bottom seems to completely solve this SEVERELY annoying and temper tantrum inducing problem. It has taken me more time than I'd like to admit to fix this, and I have my doubts that it will work permanently as well.
    But anything that MIGHT work is better than dealing with this issue.
    It may seem minor to some, but for a lot of us, it is very distracting and annoying.
    I keep hoping with each and every update that it's fixed, and am disappointed each and every update. 

  • Thin black line across Indesign CS4 doc exported to PDF

    Hi ... am using Indesign CS4 on OS Windows XP and exporting docs to PDF (Acrobat 9 Professional) then printing on a HP Colour LaserJet CP2025.
    I'm getting a thin black line across the bottom of the page when printing - it doesn't show up on the screen though.  The line sits 5mm above the bottom edge of the page and prints whether I have bleed set or not in Indesign.
    Have tried toggling scaling, printer's marks settings, printer settings,Adobe Acrobat 9 Professional settings with no joy.
    Can anyone help? 

    Hi all,
    EUREKA!   Looks like it's finally fixed ...
    One of my printer (HP Colour Laser Jet CP2025) has an advanced printer property, under printer features, called "Print Data Optimization" - this was set to "Auto" - I changed it to "Optimise for Text and Vector" and voila!  Thin black line has disappeared and I'm happily reprinting a bunch of documents ...
    Thanks everyone for your advice and input - saved my sanity

  • Thin black line appears when applying transition to material

    Im editing in PremProCC and have a problem with the video transitions especially the wipe effect. When I apply the wipe to a cropped jpg and play it back a thin black line seems to appear around the edges of the jpg. I thought it might have something to do with rendering but the render bar reminds yellow when I apply the effect. It also in the exported version too. Any help I've never seen this before?

    Hope you can see the thin black line  its more noticeable when it's playing back. Its just after the Bes/sy letters on the left had screen.

  • PDF exporting with thin black lines around some images

    Hi there,
    I have spent A LOT of time making a custom SAVE THE DATE card and I cannot find a solution to this problem. When I am working in the document, I do not see thin borders around any of the images but when I export to PDF they show up. I have NO BORDERS selected for all images in the document and cannot figure out why they keep showing up after export. 
    I have attached a screen grab of what the document looks like when I am working on it, and another one of what it looks like after export. I am using Pages 5.2.2 and OS X version 10.9.5
    I need to order these SAVE THE DATES by tomorrow to take advantage of the 60% off! Thanks so much for your help!

    I am seeing this same problem in a family newsletter I've created.  The lines do not show up in Pages, but when I export to pdf (or print to pdf), the lines appear.  When I print the document, no lines appear.
    Here's what the top of the newsletter looks like - the black lines show up on all the pages, and in the beige-covered overlay, crosshatching is visible.   The template I'm using was in existence two years ago, but doesn't seem to exist in Pages anymore.  Would that have anything to do with the lines showing up?
    I also found this link, but can't apply any of the suggested fixes, since they apply to Adobe:  <http://helpx.adobe.com/indesign/kb/thin-white-dark-lines-stitching.html>.

    Thank you for replying to my question.
    You are 100% right ... I have made the canvas a bit larger and there is no line.
    BUT, why is there a line around the image when viewing in a browser? I dont' want it there and this is the first time I have this problem.

  • Colorprints from LR show thin black lines at regular intervals | HP 8620.

    Colorprints form LR show thin black lines ar regular intervals, I work with HP 8620 and the problem is not the printer because when I print the same image from Windos Photo Viewer the problem does not occur. However, I prefer to print from LR... See the attached images, one with blakck lines from LR and one without from WPV...
    What to do? I tried to reinstall Lightroom 4.4 for maybe it has to do with the drivers. The thing is: I looked up all the regular problems and Q&A, but this is a unique problem. I do not want to keep printing from Windows Photot Viewer because LR gives me so many more opportunities for printing. But so far it coested me a lot of ink and paper and tyhe problems stays....
    I would sure appreciate help from somebody,

    It's clearly not impossible, just different than you expect. Create your playlist as you want it to appear in the Current tab (meaning don't dump every single song from your library in there, just the ones you want) and then save the playlist.

  • I have a thin black line that appears on my iPad screen. Is my iPad defective?

    I have a thin black line that appears on my iPad screen. Is my iPad defective?

    It could be having issues. If that line appears across apps(as in in more than one app, and even when you're not in an app) , try resetting the device by holding down the home and sleep key, past the power down slider, and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and see if the line persists. If it does, your next stop should be the apple store and let them take a look at it. Issues with the display like that are often beyond simple user fixes.
