Vertical Blue Lines Problem
All my footage has these vertical blue lines across it, before and after exporting the video too. There's no reason this happened, it just randomly appeared after opening the project.

I purchased Macbook Pro i5 in March 2011. Now the screen has problem; one vertical blue line is in the screen (at the right side). I noticed this last week when I opened the macbook and now I am always seening it. I am seeing the blue vertical line always in the screen. However, I am not seeing this line when I open Word, Excel, PowerPoint files (without pictures). But I am seeing this line always when I see movies, pictures, and all the files which have pictures. Please do let me know how can I remove this vertical blue line (blue tint) pernamentally from the screen.
Regards,
UjjalBackup your files to a external hard drive and disconnect.
Call Apple and make a warranty call, then take it to the nearest Apple Store etc.
You can run these things and it might clear your issue or give further informaiton
Perform a hardware check

Vertical blue line won't go away ANYONE ELSE HAVE THIS ?
I have a vertical blue line on my MBP display, only one pixel thick but all the way top to bottom. Location-wise, in the finder menu the line runs between the 'e' and 'l' of the 'help' option - about 4" from the left of the screen.
The problem persists after a restart and stays there no matter which app I'm using. It's most noticable when the screen is displaying a darker image but when displaying a white/light/bright background (like the apple discussions) it's hardly noticable.
Seems to me like I have a vertical line of dead pixels and it needs to go back to apple for a replacement. HAS ANYONE ELSE EXPERIENCED THIS PROBLEM? and can anyone confirm that this means dead pixels, I've never experienced it before.
Thanks in advance for any replies.Hello there. This problem is definitely a defect in the LCD display. Take it back to Apple for repair. I have had this happen with an old iBook.

I have had a permanent vertical blue line on the right side of my imac screen for some time now. It does not affect the use of the computer. A red one has popped up on the right side of the screen and is not going away either.
Would you know why these are appearing and perhaps how to get rid of them please?
Thank you in advanceBest guess is that either your GPU or LCD is failing. You should take it to the nearest Apple Store or AASP for proper diagnostic. Once you know what the problem is you can decide wether or not it's worth repairing.

My macbookpro 15" screen has vertical blue lines
Hello,
I have a Macbook Pro 15" (mid 2010) 2.53GHz Interl Core i5 running OSX Lion 10.7.4.
Generally the computer and screen are in good condition and have had no damage.
The screen has Vertical blue lines and there is a tint of blue generally. The startup apple grey screen however is perfect, it is only when it enters the login screen that the lines appear. All the colours are off. Other than these lines the computer works perfectly
The computer was used yesterday (09 June 2012) without a problem for approx 1hour. It was then left for the day indoors on a desk out of direct sunlight. The computer was switched on later that evening and the problem started to appear
I have already tried to reset the PRAM and SMC with no affect.
I also read that it may be a cable problem, however as the startup screen works perfectly i question this.
Please can you help!
Thanks in advance,
Alex.I suggest you take it to an Apple store genius bar or a repair facility for evaluation. This is most likely a hardware problem.
Ciao. -
Vertical Blue Lines - Please help!!
I've got a G5 with 2 30" Cinema Screens. On my main screen there are often vertical blue lines that appear. I was told that this might be a graphics card issue and that I should unplug one of the screens. I've done that & if anything the blue lines are worse...
Having done a search I've found some archived questions but they don't have any solved answers. Is my screen totally bust & needing to go back to apple or can I change some settings here?Could still very well be your video card. It probably has some bit addressing issues. Try swapping video cards with a friend or have the Genius Bar at your local Apple Store use a good video card to diagnose the problem. If the blue lines disappear, replace the video card.
If the blue lines still appear on your displays, then run Apple Hardware Test and check for any error codes. Write down any error codes and bring them to your local Apple Store. Either way, you are looking at a display replacement and/or repair. -
Vertical blue lines on external Thunderbolt display
I use an Apple Thunderbolt Display connected to a 27" iMac using OS X 10.9 (Mavericks). I've been using this set up since last June, but in the last 30 days or so I have noticed that vertical blue lines started appearing in the Thunderbolt Display. It started with one single pixel wide line at first, but now the section with vertical blue lines is about 2 inches wide. The lines are not always there. It happens mostly in the morning.
The display is still under Apple's warranty, but I wanted to find out if there's anything I can do to fix the problem before deciding to take the display to the nearest Apple Store.If touching the tab can make the problem go away, perhaps you can put a piece of compressible material, like weather stripping, in the assembly such that when you bolt it all back together the material keeps pressure on the tab same as if you had your finger on it. OK, that's a long shot. But there is no other way to restore a failed tab bond that I am aware of.

Hi all,
Please help, I repaired an iphone 5c and have now tried two different lcd screens on it but all I get is a black screen or a black screen with a vertical blue line on the left hand side of the screen. I definitely have the cables connected properly etc and before I repaired it the phone had a cracked screen and there was a picture on it.
I have tried hard reset and nothing. I have tried connecting to iTunes but it asks me to confirm on the iPhone which I can't do as there is nothing on the display. I have tried randomly pressing all over the screen but it doesn't work. So I can't even try restoring it on iTunes.
Please help any advice will be appreciated! I successfully have repaired iphone 4's and iphone 5 before but this is the first iphone 5c.

Apple does not fix iDevices. Instead, they exchange yours for a refurbished or new replacement depending upon the age of your device and refurbished inventories. On rare occasions when there are no longer refurbished units for your older model, they may replace it with the next newer model.
ATTN: Beginning July 2013 Apple Stores are now equipped to do screen repairs/replacements in-house on iPhone 5s. In some cases while you wait. According to Apple this is the beginning of equipping Apple Stores with the resources needed to do most repairs for iPhones, iPads, and iPod Touches that would not require major replacements. Later in the year the services may be extended as Apple Stores become equipped and staffed with the proper repair expertise. So, if you need a screen repaired or a broken screen replaced or have your stuck Home button fixed, call your local Apple Store to see if they are now doing these in-house.
You may take your device to an Apple retailer for help or you may call Customer Service and arrange to send your device to Apple:
Apple Store Customer Service at 1-800-676-2775 or visit online Help for more information.
To contact product and tech support: Contacting Apple for support and service - this includes international calling numbers.

iPad Service Support and Costs
There are third-party firms that do repairs on iDevices, and there are places where you can order parts to DIY if you feel up to the task:
1. iResq or Google for others.
2. Buy and replace screen yourself: iFixit -
Thunderbolt display with vertical blue lines
Hi All - My 2011 Thunderbolt display (connected to an early 2011 mbpro) is now displaying the dreaded vertical blue lines of old - any one else have any experiance of this?

IMac 21.5" boots to white screen with vertical blue lines/bars then locks up
iMac 21.5" (mid 2010) Intel Core i3 4GB RAM with Radeon HD 4670 boots to white screen with vertical blue lines/bars:
Then it locks up after a few minutes, at which point the screen changes to white with these blue symbol things all over the screen:
If boot to Safe Mode, it still has the white screen with blue lines/bars, but eventually loads the login screen and I can successfully login and get to the desktop, but even that has the bars/lines.
Eventually, after enough restarts or hard shutdowns it will boot normally with no video/display issues. I've run disk checks, did the SMC and PRAM resets, checked logs (that I know of), and have even taken it completely apart, cleaned it out, reseated everything, put it all back together, but no change. I've read a few other posts about similar issues (but not quite the same video issue as this) where people had the logic boars replaced or reinstalled OSX, but that didn't always fix it. Any ideas? Has anyone seen this issue before? Thank you.crw4096 wrote:
Is this a dead disk?
Very well could be.
If you can not startup from the Hardware Test, in Safe Mode or from > OS X Recovery as discribed in the Support article's.
Dig out the original Install Disc set that came with the iMac and do one of the following.
1. Attempt to Repair the Hard Drive.
Start from your Mac OS X Install disc: Insert the installation disc, then restart the computer while holding the C key.
When your computer finishes starting up from the disc, choose Disk Utility from the Installer menu. (In Mac OS X 10.4 or later, you must select your language first.)
Important: Do not click Continue in the first screen of the Installer. If you do, you must restart from the disc again to access Disk Utility.
Click the First Aid tab.
Click the disclosure triangle to the left of the hard drive icon to display the names of your hard disk volumes and partitions.
Select your Mac OS X volume.
Click Repair. Disk Utility checks and repairs the disk.
2. Run the Hardware Test from the second Install Disc.
1. Insert Disc 2 and Startup holding the D key.
2. Select the Extended Hardware Test.
Then if you still can not get anything going, you need to contact your Local Apple Store or AASP and make a Service appointment.

Apple mail vertical blue line to left of forwarded email?
Have an iMac Mountain Lion 10.8.2 using Apple mail. When I forward email I get a blue vertical line to the left of the forwarded mail or if I reply to an email & leave the received email in the replys string, I get a blue vertical line the length of the received mail. In subsequent strings the number of lines increases by one for each in the back of the string. I have tried cutting & pasting but can't get rid of the blue vertical line. With a message that has a number of vertical lines on the left side, I can't delete any of them to simply forward the email clean. How can I rid myself of those annoying vertical lines on the left of the message blocks! It did it on Lion & still does. see example below:

What verticle line???
See the vertical line below - how can you get rid of them?
Never had it on my PC - must be an Apple thingy!

Rebooting does fix everything imo on the Macs.
Cheers,Hi Paullythesolver,
I have used a combination of solutions that mostly (not 100%) work but are a laborous pain in the butt!
I checked your suggested solution and my Fonts & Colours text box that was "ticked" was "unticked".
The Composing quote level box was already unticked - no action required there.
I will have to await another incoming "side blue lined" email to see if your suggestion worked - it does logically sound like a winner, but the proof is still in the pudding to be seen!
There has been so much traffic on this issue over the past 18 months or so with so many experiencing a similar problem. I do hope this puts the problem to rest once & for all!

Start up screen purple tint, won't boot, then vertical blue lines
I'm having trouble with my macbook pro late 2011 model running maverick
When I try turning it on I get a start up screen with a purple tint then the apple logo just disappears and the entire screen is with that purple tint (see pic below, sorry if tint isn't too visible and also for the upside down pic, this pc is driving me crazy)
Then when I try booting in safe mode the screen suddenly turns to a screen with blue vertical lines as below.
Funny thing is that a few days later everything went back to normal, then a few weeks later happened again. Now third time it's happening. I also notice once or twice the fan was working hard prior to computer freezing... perhaps not related not sure.
Took it to an apple service center and they tested for 3 days and werent able to come up with solution they ordered a replacement display and in a few weeks will replace. They say if that doesn't work they'll have to replace the video card..
Anyone have any clue what this might be?
When I called Apple support they were inclined to suggest it's defective memory non apple, but I don't see that to be the case...
I'm overseas and can't bring in to apple store.. thanksThank you
Where I'm currently located no local apple only a authorized service center... brought to them and they decided to order a new display panel. I have to wait two weeks til they get it then if that doesn't work they'll order a new motherboard..
They ran a series of tests on the notebook for two dates... wouldn't they have uncovered if it was memory related? -
Why do i have a vertical blue line down my new iMac?
I bought a new 27" imac yesterday and when i booted it up for the first time i noticed a light blue vertical line about 1/3 of the way in from the left. It fades out towards the top of the screen. I have seen other forums that say to reset the PRAM/NVRAM and i have tried but it did not help. I'm just wondering whether i will need to take it back to the store or an apple store to get it fixed or if there is a simple fix i can do at home?
Thanks in advanceWelcome to Apple Support Communities
The display connector or display are defective. Take the computer to the place you bought it and you will get a different one free of charge
