Thin purple vertical line appears on my Mac Pro screen

A few days ago I started getting a thin purple line running vertically on my Mac Pro Screen. It comes and goes.

It is probably a hardware fault. Make and appointment with your Apple Store to have it checked.

    It may have a bad display screen but you could try resetting to see if that helps.
    Reset: Press the Home and On/Off buttons at the same time and hold them until the Apple logo appears (about 10 seconds).

  • Why are there 2 thin red vertical lines on the screen of my MBP 15" retina which is only 2 months old!

    I would just like to understand why there a two thin red vertical lines on the screen
    I suspect I need to bring into an apple store for diagnostics but is anyone aware of the likely cause?
    thanks v much!

    It could be a GPU issue, a display issue or a display connection issue.  The genius bar technician will offer you a definitive answer and should fix it under the warranty provisions.

  • My mac pro screen has vertical lines... How much does it cost to get it fixed?

    When you fail to give information on the exact model MBP that you have, how do you expect anyone to provide you with any specific information?
    I suggest that you go to the iFixit.com and Powerbookmedic.com and look for parts and prices.  That naturally assumes that you know what parts are defective and need to be replaced.

  • Vertical line appearing on my screen

    today I started having a vertical line appear on my screen. It flickered on and off for a while and then came on for good. I can't seem to get this to go away.
    By doing a simple search I've found that this is a cable defect in the product and that Apple is not addressing the issue claming this is from overuse and the cable just deteriorated - Surprise you get to pay $700 to have this fixed. This is crazy!!! These computers are supposed to be the Mercedes of the computer world! Not the Yugo that falls apart after you drive over a large bump! I've only had the computer for a year and half!
    I'm posting this here to see when Apple plans to address this growing problem.

    Please see the other topics in this forum related to your question.

  • Pink vertical lines appearing on screen

    I have a G5 about 2 years old. Recently a pale pink vertical line appeared down the screen, another about 2 weeks later and today a third line appeared. They do not affect the screen's visibility, but I wander if anyone else has found a resolution to this minor problem (without having to go out and purchase a replacement.

    Hi Ocean swimmer-
    Greetings and welcome to the Apple boards.
    Makes sure to check the cable connections at both ends.
    Which monitor do you have? If you take a screen shot do the lines still show up in the same place?

  • On start up green vertical lines appear and then the become spots and imac freezes

    on start up green vertical lines appear and then they become spots covering entire screen and imac freezes, does not start. I need to do a safe boot to open the imac 2009

    Unfortunately this sounds like a hardware failure. Run Apple Hardware Test in extended modeat least 2-3 times back to back. If errors appear then you have confirmed my suspicion. However if no errors appear unfortunatelyyou are not out of the woods l yet  because AHT is not the more reliable test. If you do know know how to run AHT please refer to:

  • I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

    I have vertical colored lines appearing on the Mini Ipad screen

    I had the same problem with my first gen ipad mini. The solution was not  to do a hard reset, but instead to push the sleep/off button until the  red slider appeared, then slide to OFF. Wait a few seconds then push the  sleep/home button until the Apple logo appeared. The lines were gone.  I  called Apple Support and they wanted $19 to troubleshoot over the phone  and $99-$199 to bring to the nearest Apple store. This may not be a  permanent fix, but it resolved the issue. I purchased my ipad mini from a  local electronics store in May of this year. Believing it to be new and  still under warranty I called the AppleCare store and discovered that  it had "previously" been purchased in November a year ago and was no  longer in warranty. As stated, I've had the device since May and it has  worked wonderfully until today when I turned it on and it had colored  vertical lines displayed on the screen. The lines would change color at  times and even became a solid black stripe. The strange thing was that  when taking a screen shot the lines were not noticeable and didn't show  up on the picture. The Customer Care support tech told me to search  other display issues. On one of the support threads it had something to  do with videos/video apps and that is where I saw to do the SLIDER OFF.  It worked even when the hard RESET had not.

  • Am I seeing thin gray vertical lines on my 8X10 print because I am using the trial version?

    Am I seeing thin gray vertical lines on my 8X10 print because I am using the trial version?

    No. First check your ink levels and try printing something from another program to be sure you don't need to run a cleaning routine for your printer. Also, if you have an older printer occasionally you'll see those lines if your resolution in ppi isn't a whole number (in other words 347 ppi works, but 346.983 makes lines). That's not so common nowadays, though, so unless your printer is quite old it's unlikely to be the cause.

    who knows what it is, and frankly, who cares?  Bring the phone into Apple for replacement.

  • Red vertical line on left side of iPhone4 screen.

    I have a thin, red vertical line on the left side of my iPhone screen that appears on a black or dark background.  Anyone know what causes this and should I send my phone in for repair?  I've had this phone for about 3 months.  Thanks!

    Hi Brent,
    I took it to apple service center. They did some checks and found out that the display has gone bad and they replced it with new one.
    Did you try connecting other display (may be Apple Display or Dell monitor) using an adapter?  In my case the Apple service center people tried doing it and the display was appearing just fine without any green line. So the fault was in my MBP display.

  • Odd blue lines appearing in white space on screen

    Yesterday I noticed some light blue vertical lines showing up all over the screen of my new 24" iMac. They're most noticeable in text fields and along the edges of browser windows on white screens, but occur in every application including the finder (even on dock icons). They appear in the form of tiny blue dots surrounding the cursor, and follow it all around the screen (so I know they're not burned in). Every once in a while they will go away, but this morning they came back. Has anyone else experienced this problem, and if so, what is the likely cause? While it is not a severe issue, it is still mildly irritating and I am hoping there is a way to fix it. Any help is appreciated. Thank you in advance.

  • Thin flickering white line at the very top of screen when using mail

    using an imac 27 inch, new...
    there is a thin flickering white line at the very top of screen when using mail.
    usually when sending a mail or when the cursor moves over a link ( in apple mail )
    the flickering line is just under the very top menu bar which has the date on etc...
    anyone else had this or know how to fix it?
    cheers

    I am facing the same problem. In fact mac book pro 13 retina was in the 14 day period so I got it retuned today, after directions from the apple telephone support. However, the new machine I got in exchange has the same problem or flickering line under the menu tab.
    The only relief it seems is the fact that it's not a hardware problem probably. I also think so because if I do a full screen which essentially means there is no menu bar, then there is no flickering white line.
    Hope apple fixes this. Sad to notice this drop in apple quality, and yet not fixed.
