Thin red line on my monitor

A thin red line has appeared on my monitor

Take the system to Apple and have them change the screen. It is a screen hardware problem and the only way to fix it is to change the screen, bad one for new good one.

    I have a thin red line down my screen how can I remove it ?

    Have you tried this?
    Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.

  • The Thin Red Line

    What is the thin red line i see at the bottom of my viewer from time to time? I think it's something to do with Audio but i'm not sure.

    chances are you've accidentally created split edit points...
    pressing Ctrl-I or Ctrl-O creates a Video In or Out
    pressing Cmd-Opt-I or Cmd-Opt-O creates an Audio In or Out
    the line you'd be seeing then would be the link between the separated (split) audio and video in points and/or the audio and video out points
    try choosing Mark > Clear Split (or just press the usual Opt-X, to clear all marks)
    see if that helps

  • Thin red line treatment

    Thin red line treatment when adding title.  Playback slows to a crawl and I can't sync.  No obvious incompatiblties.  Using Vista with dual core Athon - 3 GB ram. Any ideas anyone?

    That's fine. It is PRE's way of telling you that you have adjusted a clip. If playback is jerky you can press [Enter] and PRE will render the timeline for a smoother preview. If you have lots of red lines and only want to render a small piece then set the WorkAreaBar to cover just that piece.
    Note that none of this is necessary and it makes no difference to your final output as PRE always renders the entire timeline during the Share process.

  • Thin Red Line

    Hair pulling time.
    About a month ago I got a new 27 inch imac.  Sorry to say it 'played up' from the beginning, and had to go back to where I brought it.  They replaced a faulty hard drive and a faulty memory card.  Seemed fine when I got it back on Friday.
    Until tonight.  I was watching the BBC online player and noticed thin red lines moving with the action on the screen.  Difficult to describe but my wife said it looked like one of the effects you'd find on a 1980's MTV video, though a little more creative.
    Thought it might be the player, so I tried some MP4s & MV4s.  Same red lines.  Looking closely you can see them on the desktop pic as well.
    Rebooted.  No lines.  But something's obviously not right, any ideas?  I'll get back on to the Apple supplier tomorrow, but it's always good to have some suggestions from the people on here.
    The best thing would be for them to give me a new machine, but apparently apple only repair if ten days have passed from original purchase.  That's what I'm told anyway.
    Thanks.

    It could be the first sign of a bad graphics card, or it could be nothing. If it is the graphics card it will get progressively worse. You're on warranty for a while so no need to leap on it. If it's gone now that's good.
    EDIT: It coud also be the RAM, even though they replaced it, it may not be properly seated.
    Download and run Rember to test your RAM.

  • A verticle red line suddenly has appeared on my monitor

    I was lookiing at a video on Youtube and tried to upload it. It didn't. But, suddenly now I have a verticle red line on my monitor which i cannot get rid of. Anyone out there have an idea what could be wrong? thanks.

    Hi there camoroso2,
    If the red line is still there, I would use these troublehsooting steps from the following article about troubleshooting your built in or external displays, named:
    Apple computers: Troubleshooting issues with video on internal or external displays
    Reset the system
    You can reset the Mac's parameter RAM and SMC. 
    Reset the resolution
    Start by resetting the Mac's parameter RAM. If the display does not come up, was previously set to an unsupported resolution, and still results in no video:
    Start up in Safe Mode.
    From the Apple () menu, choose System Preferences.
    Choose Displays from the View menu to open the preferences pane.
    Select any resolution and refresh rate that your display supports.
    Restart your computer.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • Help - ipod shows red lines and displays white screen?

    This is the 3rd Ipod Touch, 4th Generation, I've had in 2 years.  Something has been wrong with each one of them.  The one I have now is only 2 months old and unfortunately my Apple Care Warranty has expired, last month.  I was not allowed to purchase a new Apple Care warranty for the new Ipod, so basically I am stuck with another "lemon".  Here's the problem, this time.
    My Ipod shows 2 thin red lines which extend half way across the screen from left to right, upper left corner when holding Ipod vertically.  sometimes when turning the Ipod on, the screen is almost all white and I can barely see the time and "slide to unlock".  It always happens when I plug into power.  Also, the red lines flash bright white at times and then extend across the entire screen.  If I take a picture of it, (holding down power and home buttons) it looks normal.
    Has anyone else had such a problem?  Can anyone suggest a solution?  I'd like to take this to Apple and say, "What the heck?"  Is it policy to replace a defective product with one that they wouldn't sell in their store but is OK to give as a replacement?  I love my Ipod Touch, but this is extemely frustrating!
    IPod Touch, 4th Generation, IOS 6.0.1

    I have not seen that problem here before. Likely a hardware bproblem but
    Try:
    - Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
    Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Reset all settings
    Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup. See:
    iOS: How to back up
    - Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up as a new device
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
    Apple Retail Store - Genius Bar
    I'd like to take this to Apple and say, "What the heck?" 
    Do that but nicely
    Is it policy to replace a defective product with one that they wouldn't sell in their store but is OK to give as a replacement?
    No. The replacment is a refurbished one that should work like new.

  • Powerbook G4 OSX 10.2 red line through screen

    Does anyone know what or why I would have a vertical thin red line through the screen..top to bottom; and is it serious? can it be fixed? What does it mean...
    soni

    Soni:
    It is helpful when we know which PB G4 you have. However, your thin vertical red line may be failing backlight lamp. If that is the case you don't need to worry about it, unless you want it gone. If it is convenient make an appointment at the Genius Bar and have them take a look at no cost to you.

  • MBP red lines

    Apple, I have been a very loyal customer for decades, I own a MBP 15", iPad, iPad Air, iPhone.  For the first time I am extremely ****** off.
    My MBP 15" (2011) for which I paid BIG bucks suddenly started to experience the dreaded "red lines" video failure.  The failure is already a classic: during start up the screen shows thin red lines (seen better over the apple) and the the screen goes completely gray.
    There are so many people that has had the same experience after 3-4 years of use that I was sure that Apple would be repairing it for free.  I sent my machine to the official Apple service in Chile and they say the logic boar needs to be replaced for aprox US$1000 - US$1500.
    Not only there was no a repair plan but Apple has not responded to any of the posts regarding this very common problem.  This is not the way a company like Apple should treat his customers.
    I will not pay another US$1000 for the machine.  For the first time I am considering what looked impossible before: stop using Apple computers.
    Sincerely
    JN

    Were you ever able to resolve this?  My friend's early 2011 MacBook Pro with your same specs except with 10.6.8 just did the same thing while Google Earth 7.1.2.2019 was running.  Never any other issues, just happened out of the blue.

  • Red line on iPad in Safari

    I feel I am going mad.  If I am using Safari on my iPad 2 and touch to scroll a thin red line appears.  Any ideas?   Thanks.  Angus

    Sorry but it's a display problem, you need to take it back to Apple. Hope it's under warranty. Good luck

  • I have very thin, colored lines running vertical on my desktop monitor screen.  I don't know where they come from or how to get rid of them.  I started with one and now have three.  Can anyone give me some insight about what to do in getting rid of them?

    I have very thin, colored lines that have shown up on my IMac monitor screen.  I don't know where they came from or how to get rid of them.  I'm concerned now because I started with one and now have three.  Does any know why this occurs or how to get rid of them?

    I got an address from Applecare, although I can't place my hand on it right now. I didn't bother persuing the letter route myself as I didn't expect much. I know that the location was Cork, Ireland though as that where the UK Applecare is based as far as I'm aware. The best thing to do is to call Applecare (if it's free) and discuss the issue. State that you are not happy wit the fact that you will have to pay to have the problem resolved especiiay if it is an ongoing problem that has not been resolved. I ended up speaking to a senior manager of the Applecare team who then proceeded to tell me about mailing in my grievence to customer services division or something like that.
    If I can find the address I may post it if I'm allowed.
    In the case of age, Schools usually have a 5-year life-cycle as they tend to be used differently than consumer machines, i.e. being used constantly on a daily basis for at least 12 hours with no break. you would expect issues to appear after a few years, but I expect problems that arise through defects to be resolved and stay resolved. As I mentioned we had machines for around 2 years before the lines appeared and sent them to be repaired. I'm happy with that. What I am unhappy about is the fact that the problem has reappeared exactly in the same way and now I'm left with around 7 machines that I either pay loads to repair or, the more likely replace the machines with newer ones since the age is now big enough to warrant the replacement.
    Sorry for the lengthy moan, but these are the reasons I purchased Apple ahrdware in the first place to avoid the "not our problem" stance some PC vendors  usually take, similar to the Dell monitors thread mentioned in here somewhere.

  • 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.
    Ciao.

  • I have a thin horizontal line running across my screen about 1/4 of the way from the bottom of the monitor. Why is it there and how do I get rid of it?

    There is a thin horizontal line running across the width of my screen about 1/4 of the way from the bottom. This line, along with an occasional vertical line about a 1/3 of the way from the right side of my monitor, started appearing about 7 days ago. Usually the line would disappear after a restart but now it seems intent on staying. Does anyone know what is going on and how can I resolve this?
