Hi
The majority of issues with lines appear to require a new screen or the ribbon connector between the screen and the board is loose. These could be caused by mis-treatment although not always and I'm sure you would have mentioned if you had dropped the BB. So it does seem likely that this app has caused the problem.
Uninstalling doesn't completely remove an app from the device, hence why it makes no difference. Before sending the device away for service (or fixing a new screen yourself) it will be worth wiping the device and reinstalling the OS. I would be tempted not to reload the problem app, there has been comment on here about the benefits - use the search facility above right if you are interested.

  • Purple Line on the Screen

    There's a purple line on my iMac screen. How can I fix it? Is my LCD screen damaged?

    Welcome John!
    Based on the images, the original poster seems to have a newer iMac than is covered in this forum; that may be why there have been no responses.
    Assuming you have an Intel-based iMac, I suggest that you start a new thread here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=189
    If your iMac has a G5 processor, that forum is here:
    http://discussions.apple.com/category.jspa?categoryID=134
    I know some forums frown on people starting new threads, but you should never be afraid to do so here. The Apple Discussions set-up works best that way, and you get the help you need without diluting help that the original poster deserves. The other problem with tagging onto an old thread is that some people do not reread older threads that have been inactive for months.
    If you do have the G4 iMac (domed based with the screen mounted on a metal flex neck like a desk lamp) then please start a new thread in this forum. That should get you the attention you need.
    Post often!

  • Is the screen of ipad mini scratch resistant?

    We've been using iPad original for many years, though I rarely take it outside but it does not mean it alway lays on a soft pillow! Anyhow, it has no scratches on its screen.
    However, alot of rumers are out there and no official relieving statement from Apple! rumers that claim iPad mini does not benefit from neigther a gorilla glass nor a simple scratch resistant coating made me using a screen protector which just reduces the image quality and with that on,  i feel more like using the old iPad orignal than this.
    I just need a simple answer from an official if I may use it simply with no screen protector like my old iPad.
    Regards,

    I cannot speak for Apple (they are not here) - only from experience. No scratches on my iPad mini, had it since launch day.

  • Appeared white spot on the screen of ipad mini. What can i do?

    A white spot was appeared on my ipad mini screen? Please help

    It's under warranty for one year from the day you bought it.
    It was released on Nov. 2, 2012. If you bought it that day, you are 8 days out of warranty. If you bought it after Nov.10, 2012, you are under warranty (as of today.  Apple should have the sale date if you give them your serial number. If you have the receipt, use that.
    Either way, you should check with Apple and they should give you a new one (original) as a replacement. If you're near a store, make an appointment as soon as possible with the genius bar and bring it in.
    Please do it as soon as possible.
    Hope this helps.

  • Has anyone else has seen this problem with their iPod touch 5th Generation with iOS 7.0.4. My screen started making flashing white lines across the screen, then went dim, then pixeled with purples

    The ipod will show flashing white lines across the screen, going down, it then does somthing where the screen will dim down but its not like when the backlight goes on and its about to lock. It dims the background of your ipod and the icons and letters kind of all look defined. Then the ipod gets all pixelized and it has big boxes on pixels and its all differnt colors like purples and greens, red, etc. then it turns right off and restarts itself less than 5 seconds later. These things happen really fast but when it does it's really weird. It first happened 3 times in a row, Its still continuing to happen but i can manually turn off my ipod by holding the lock button down and not even 30 seconds later it's like its possessed and it turns on by itself. I talked to somone on appel and they told me to back it up and restore it. I restored it and as soon as the process ended and tuirned on like a brand new ipod and like clockwork the glitch happened instantly. It did it a couple of times throughout the night and i kept having to watch it so i can keep turning it off manually because it continues to turn on by itself. I talked to 3 different people on Apple Support and they couldnt even find an answer for me. It's so weird.

    Try:                           
    - iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
    - Also try DFU mode after try recovery mode
    How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
    - If not successful and you can't fully turn the iOS device fully off, let the battery fully drain. After charging for an least an hour try the above again.
    - Try another cable
    - Try on another computer                            
    - If still not successful that usually indicates a hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order.

    Also,
    If you restored to factory settings/new iPod via iTunes (Not via Settings>General>Reset>Erase all Content and Setting) and still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem.

  • Purple line at the bottom of the touch smart screen

    I have a purple line at the bottom of my touch smart screen , that is causing the icons to flicker rapidly . How can i resolve this .

    Hello,
    If you restart your system, is that purple line still there? 
    During the boot process into windows, do you still have that same line?
    If you boot into BIOS or into safemode, is that line still there?
    You can try to remove the video card driver and see if that resolves if not, better to try to update the video card driver, but for that, you need to tell me what computer model you have, the exact and entire model.
    Thanks,

    My iPad has lines though the screen is it broken or what is it, My iPad has lines though the screen is it broken or what is it.

    If you mean physical lines, it is broken.  If you mean the display shows lines in the images, it may be...do a reboot by holding both the power and home buttons until the apple logo appears, ignore the red slider if that appears.  If the lines are still there ake it to an Apple store genius bar to be checked by the techs.

  • I have a line across the screen of my new ipad air

    I got an Ipad air for Christmas and I have noticed a thin blue line across the bottom of the screen about an inch from the bottom.  Has anybody else got this.

    I had exactly the same problem with my brand new iPad Air a month or so ago. I searched through these posts to see if anyone had the same problem, and found that a few people did. After seeing that it appeared to be a legitimate defect, I took it back to the Apple Store. The guy there just smiled and said "watch this"....he pulled the screen protector back, and poof, the line was gone from the iPad! Turns out that he had seen the same problem more than once at his store. Seems as though certain screen protectors can get those thin lines burned into them. Neither of us knows why, but that's what the problem was for mine. I sent an email to the screen protector manufacturer (mine was a Zagg) and the only response I got was that it must have been caused by direct sunlight "or something". They sent me a new protector, and so far all is still fine....we'll see if it happens again!

  • My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

    My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

    By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
    If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
    I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

  • It appears a yellow line of pixels on my iPad mini screen

    One day I take my iPad mini and saw a yellow pixel line on the screen, I used the iPad for an hour (more or less), and the line disappeared, but then (2 hours) it appeared again. In this moment the line appears and disappears for a while. I restarted and restored my iPad, also I used this videos used to repair dead pixels, but the line stay the same.
    Someone now what could happen?, I have never dropped my iPad.
    Can I do something to repair my iPad?.
    Thanks.

    Hey henaog,
    Thanks for the question. I understand you are experiencing issues with the display of your iPad mini. From the information you have provided, it sounds like this may or may not be a pixel anomaly.
