Unneeded Black Scan Lines at Top While Capturing

Capturing my anamorphic mini-DV footage was borderless earlier this year when I edited a wedding video. But now two more 16:9 projects shot this same way have a black line at the top of the picture during capturing AND in the export. It's annoying because I don't know if the images are slightly squeezed flat or if the picture is shifted down off-screen a bit.
This happens in both my Final Cut Studio and my Avid Media Composer, and the annoying black line at the top even shows up on YouTube, argh!
Aside from bringing in my camera, external drive and precious field tapes to the Genius Bar, how do you troubleshoot something like this?

Hi there Huxley Dunsany,
Issues with your monitor image behaving unexpectedly can be pretty worrying but I feel that these instructions from the following article should provide some help:
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.

How to fix white line on top while using personas ?

Everytime I set a persona for Firefox I get a white line on top, I heard that it can be fixed by modifying the pref.js file, but I don't want to mess that up.

Here's a picture of how it looks by the way.

Black Horizontal Line in Top Left Corner.

My mac started showing this line at the top left corner of the screen. I use 2 monitors and this was on my MacBook display. If anyone has any idea how to fix it or can tell me what causes it for future reference that would be great.
Here is a SCREENCAP.

Same here. Can't figure this one out. Perhaps its a graphic glitch? Does someone at Apple have an idea??

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Leaves a black horizontal line while copying

HP Officejet Pro 8500 Leaves a black horizontal line while copying . It can print fine, but whenever we make copies (black, or color) we get a straight horizontal line running across the page. I'ts a perfect line, no streaks, nothing i do can fix it, any ideas?

Are you putting the copies through the auto feeder? If so, you might want to clean the roller and the glass that it would roller over. I also clean the white bar that is on the bottom of the cover.
I have the same issue but it is white line when I am scanning.

Try resetting your phone by holding down the home and off button until the apple symbol comes up. Then if still doing, restore your phone in itunes from your backup.

Scan lines while playing video

I started seeing a small number of scan lines appear while playing HD video in iTunes, Quicktime, Final Cut, and screen saver. Also my icons in the dock get a strange ghosting now and then. Finally my computer seems to be locking up more often these days - won't wake up, screen frozen.
All else works fine, this problem seems to be isolated to graphics.

Running 10.6.8
Checked and my graphics board is not supported, it is a Quadro FX 4500 (Quadro Series 4000 for Mac, Quadro FX Series 5600, and 4800 are supported).
I am sending an email to NVIDIA and asking if this card is compatible. I purchased the computer with all the goodies direct from Apple, but that was three years ago. Perhaps the board has reached EOL?
Thanks for the help! If you know that my FX 4500 is the same as 4000 for Mac then I will try the new driver.
In the mean time I pulled the graphics card, memory cards, and vacuumed out everything best I could. After I reassembled it the scan lines do not seem to be there now. I will keep an eye on it.
Hopefully I can resolve the driver issue as well. I would like to be current.

Why are there scan lines at the top of my iMovie project when I play it in iMovie?

I am currently running OS X 10.9.4 on my 2012 MacBook Pro. I have used one of the templates in Hollywood Trailers in iMovie and when I edited it the template with my videos and text and then I play it, I see little white lines or "scan lines" sporadically at the top of the screen when it is playing. I just wanted to know is this normal before it gets published or saved or do I need to do something else to fix the problem?

There are so many instances of what Andy describes and so many responses like yours - "Take what comes!" What sort of an approach is that?
The point is that you are wrong to say that if you are on Manual, you should just put up with it. The previous version placed the new Event in perfect (end) position - so clearly this is an Apple oversight during revision. It doesn't even place the newcomer at the very top - always second from left.
I have already placed feedback, as have countless others, but surely this site is for talking it over with one's peers?
I just didn't want Andy to get the door shut in his face by your response.
I will now get on my white horse and ride into the sunset knowing that my job is done here .......
(You may not be old enough to understand the last line, sorry.)

Lines are coming while scanning the documents or copying the document

Horizontal lines are coming while scanning the documents or copying the document from fedder as well as glass

Hi there @Aziz_Husain,
Welcome to the HP Community!
I understand you are noticing horizontal lines when you make copies and scans, and I hope to help you.
Here are some steps I suggest that you try:
Reset the printer:
Press the Power button to turn on the product.
With the product turned on, disconnect the power cord from the rear of the product.
Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
Wait at least 15 seconds.
Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet.
Reconnect the power cord to the rear of the product.
If the product does not turn on by itself, press the Power button to turn it on.
Tip: Make sure the printer is plugged in directly to the wall outlet, avoiding power bars and surge protectors. This ensures the printer is receiving full power.
Try all of the steps from this article: HP Officejet Pro 8500A (A910a and A910d) e-All-in-One Printers - Vertical Bands, Lines, or Streaks i...
Test a copy and test a scan now. If they still have lines through them, please contact us directly to inquire about your printer replacement options as you would need a new unit at this point.

Print Apps won't print with C510a eStation. Prints thin line at top of page.

My C510a eStation printer will not print using the Print Apps. It just prints a thin line at top of page. Everything works fine until I print.
All other print functions work. It prints from computer via WiFi. It prints when I send an email to it. It copies via the Zeen. It just won't print using the Print Apps.
Does anyone else have this problem? What is the solution?
12/23/2010 3:00PM. I just got off the phone with an HP engineer. She said that the eStation is still in the TESTING phase and to call to report problems so they can improve the product. (I would have thought the product would have been fully tested before being released to the public!)
She had me reset the Zeen display by holding down the volume keys while powering up. This erased everything that had been done on the Zeen by me and resulted in no HOME screens, which will have to be set up by me. The only app at the bottom of the blank home page was Yahoo!. Even the printer app was missing. I had to move it from the app tray to the home page. Now, I have to spend hours, again, setting up the Zeen.
After the reset, the printer apps seem to work now. The Zeen will copy using the printer app. My computer still seems able to print and scan to/from the eStation.
The eStation C510a eStation printer and Zeen display are very exciting. However, they are not for someone not willing to spend the time to get it to work properly. If you have a cell phone, be prepared to use up a lot of minutes while on support.
The HP engineer said that it will soon have a new release of Android operating on the Zeen which will allow it to be faster.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

I have decided to return this printer to the store as it just has too many problems. HP has essentially told me they will not issue updates to solve the problems. I hate this, as I really loved the product.

Actual solutions for C6380 black vertical lines ?

When copying or scanning on my C6380 all-in-one, black vertical lines that are generated from the hinge-side of the glass appear on my documents. While this problem has been posted and re-posted over and over again the only responses I've found have been to clean the glass and inside of the cover. I have done this several times. I have also reinstalled the driver and unplugged the power cable from the both the printer itself and the outlet. The lines do not occur when printing Pages or Numbers or web-generated documents. Any suggestions?
I have a hunch that the only solution is to put up with the lines or but a new copier/scanner.

You can give a try to the Troubleshooting steps in this link:

Resets should work. Seems like a scanner bulb issue.

Flashing/noisy line at top of video clip when importing

Hi,
I am running into a strange problem when importing from my video camera. The top scan-line (or two) of the imported video clip is flashing! If anyone knows the reason for this, or has a solution to get rid of this problem altogether, please let me know! (its the first time I've ever tried importing!)
The workaround is to manually crop the top of the video, which I cant really do in imove for free? and would mean having to edit each clip...there goes onestep iDVD
I have a sony tvr310 digital 8 camera and am importing using firewire on my imac.

Analog-to-DV conversion adds narrow black borders to the left & right (and some analog "head switching" noise to the bottom).
If you view the output on a TV, then the overscan will automatically crop the borders out. But if you view the output on a computer monitor, you might want to crop them out. You can do this with MPEG Streamclip ($0):

My TRV320 D8 doesn't have such lines so your problem sounds strange. Have you tried to clean the camcorders heads?

IPhone 4s scan lines and other issues?

So I recently bought an iphone off of craigslist in June (Biggest mistake I've ever made). I met up with the person and the iphone looked pretty fine to me, who's never had an iphone btw, but as soon as I got home I noticed slight lines going across the screen. They were red and blue. They bothered me, but not too much. It effected the back camera more than the front but I said hey I can live with it considering I got the phone really cheap. Well now it's been 3 months since and it's gotten much worse. The scan lines are worse, the screen freezes, then fades to black. Also when I try to use the camera everything goes green and distorted then turna inverted. And when I try to look at pictures they have vertical lines thru them so I cant even make out what it is. If I really want to see a picture I have to screen shot it to get a quick glimpse. Also I noticed the screen freaks out more when there is color. So say I'm on my screen lock and my screen lock is just white, then the horizontal lines arent too bad. But if I go to my home page were all the apps have color, it freaks out. Or when I go on instagram, it completely wigs out and the screen freezes and fades out. I haven't dropped it accept once off the table and cracked the back, but I had this problem before so I know that's not why. I don't know if it has any water damage from the previous owner. The only thing she mentioned was that the screen was cracked. Please if you know what's wrong or have any advice please let me know. Thank you.

The screen needs to be replaced.
You can see if the phone have been in contact with water by looking at the indicators. You'll find dem here: http://km.support.apple.com/library/APPLE/APPLECARE_ALLGEOS/HT3302/HT3302-iphone _4-activated-001-mul.png
If they turn out to be read that indicates that the phone is water damaged.
You should talk to folks at apple to here what they can do to help you out.
Good lock!

White and black vertical lines

I Have the iPhone 5. It has been in a case since the day I bought it. It is 2 months out of warranty and I got white and black vertical lines while I was laying in bed. My friend tried checking my screen and replaced it with a working screen and it did the same thing so it wasn't the screen. Took my phone to Apple they said it's the screen and I have to pay $130 to fix it even with it out of warranty..... Lady standing next to me had the same problem they plugged it in fixed it and she was on her way with it. What is wrong with my phone? What should I do?

and one more thing, itunes cannot read my device i did that for 20-30 sec but it won't turn on
