Vertical stripe about 2/3 across the screen 2" wide

How do I get rid of it? I'm not sure what OS I have but I'm sure it's at least 10. My mac is fairly new. help!

thankfully, the problem went away on it's own, but the problem has returned. I am running Mac OS 10.4.10 and I have all the latest updates. I think I will have to make an appt for Apple Care.

The picture from my AppleTv on my Samsung LCD TV doesn't fill the entire screen. It is only a strip across the screen

The picture on the screen when viewing movies on Apple TV on a samsung lcd screen is only a strip across the screen and doesn't fill the entire screen. Any settings suggestions?

If you can get to the settings on the AppleTV attempt to adjust the resolution settings to something more appropriate.

Why are there lines going across the screen?

Why are there lines going across the screen?

It may (likely) be a video card issue. There is a "known issue" with certain iMacs made in a certain timeframe (2011-12 I think), and one of the telltale symptoms is vertical lines showing up on your display. Go to Apple's website (https://getsupport.apple.com/) to find out how to get support, then either call their service line (they usually pick right up) or take it into your nearest store's Genius Bar. They'll first check if your iMac's serial number is on the list of vulnerable machines, and then they'll have to do a diagnostic to prove that's the problem -- if your serial number's on the list and it fails the diagnostic, they'll replace the video card for free, even if you're not covered by AppleCare (and if you are, it's free regardless).
My iMac just had this problem, there were lines sometimes and just weird display issues other times. Eventually it just grayed out altogether and I couldn't use it. So it's likely your display problems will worsen if you don't get it looked at.
It took them about a week to ship the new video card over, install it, and return the iMac to me.
Good luck!

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing

Issues with lines across the screen, as well as freezing
Hello all
Got an iMac since January 2008 and I do like it a lot, even though it has some issues:
-- It displays (quite often) lines partially across the screen
-- Lines appear as well when opening applications or when menus come up
-- The system freezes more than I like to admit (more than my Windows/Ubuntu box)
I don't know if the freezing has to do with the lines that are shown on my screen. But I assume that both issues relate to some video card problem. I can't be sure - but that's what I assume from living with this issue day to day.
The line on the desktop (most of the time it is there before login) I can always get rid of by changing the display resolution to something else and then changing it back. Normally the line is gone, or, reappears on a different spot on the desktop. But repeating the procedure removes the line.
However, this does not mean that the lines are not showing up again when launching apps or displaying menus!
And since those lines appear to happen randomly, I think it's safe to assume that we're not talking dead pixels here, either...
About the freezing:
My iMac freezes sometimes when I move the mouse around, when switching desktops using "spaces" or when the zoom function of the Dock kicks in. Sometimes the screen goes completely black, sometimes completely white. The mouse, however, always works. But the system requires a reboot.
Again, this happens too often to feel comfy about it.
With my little knowledge of Mac troubleshooting I assume that there's something wrong with the ATI card that's built into my Mac. On the other hand, some people say that they started getting similar issues after updating their OS to Leopard. Again other people say that such issues stem from an ATI revision that is too old and the Mac should get a new ATI card. And how would that work? Isn't that an "all-in-one" machine with everything soldered onto the mainboard?
So, any help in this matter is greatly appreciated...
Cheers,
Rainer

Here are a few screen photos I've taken (not screenshots, as the lines are not visible when taking screenshots. I used my digicam to snap those...).
Here's the link to those screen photos displaying some of the many lines I keep having:

Needless to say, as I typed this message here, I had a nice line going across my Safari window..

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.

Dropped my iPhone 4s and now there are lines across the screen?! Help!

Hey everyone!
So, I have recently dropped my iPhone 4S and now there are all these blue vertical lines across the screen, which occasionally change colour also.
I am still able to receive messages and calls, and siri still works, it's simply that I can't see a single thing I am doing- which is very difficult!
I was wondering if this is an issue that needs to be fixed at an Apple store- and if so, how much it would cost? Or if I would be able to fix it myself somehow.
N.B: I've tried to reset it, it doesn't work. I have also tried to restore the iPhone, but iTunes won't let me do this as I have to have the 'find my iPhone' app turned off, which I cannot do because I can't see anything I'm doing!
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions,
Kirstoodles.

Yes. It's broken. A replacement will cost you $199.

The iPhone is not user servicable. Apple does not sell parts for the iPhone. any parts you could get are either stolen, counterfeit, or salvaged. Atempting to fix it yourself will render it unsupportable and forfeit your right to service from Apple, including an out of warranty replacement.

Sorry I'm new to Final Cut Express. How do you make an image (jpeg file for example) move across the screen slowly as I've seen in many films.

Imported Photos keep freezing during a motion path across the screen

Today is the first day I am using Motion since upgrading to Leopard about a month ago. I am working on a project where I have various photo images floating around or across the screen. For some reason, I keep getting hiccups when the image moves across the screen. It moves, then pauses for a second or two then continues on. I scaled the image down, added a motion path and a Fade in/Fade out behavior and that is it.
I am not sure if it is a Leopard thing or something I need to adjust in the parameters but I have used Motion plenty of times before the upgrade and it never paused in the middle of move. Its annoying pause. At first I thought it kept hitting a spot on the timeline that needed to be rendered but I keep looping the timeline and it keeps pausing at the spots. Not every picture does this either.
I have enough memory to run the whole Final Cut Studio with no problem so I am still not sure what is up. I may just export it and see if it corrects itself.
Any suggestions you all may have will be appreciated.
C.

In the Motion manual or tutorial or something from Apple, they tell you to put one of the Glow filters on a clip, saying that no system could play it back full speed. So you have enough to run the programs, but that doesn't mean you have real time playback.
Here's a tip- right click the bar right below the toolbar, and check "Frame Rate" in the menu. Now, when you play back your video, it will tell you how many frames per second it is playing back. It will play every frame (this is not how FCP works).
So if you aren't getting smooth playback, RENDER! Then you can see how it will play when exported.

My mac screen comes out with white fuzzy lines going across the screen, it used to just go back to normal and out of no where it freezes and the white fuzzy lines go across the screen. Now it is frozen at the opening screen. what do i do?

My mac screen is frozen with white fuzzy lines going across the screen. I shut it off and turn it back on but it still remains white fish lines on the start up screen. I've tried revolting it, it works sometimes but now its stuck at the starting screen. I have been at this for 2 hours to try and fix it but nothing has changed about the screen. What do I do, if I break this computer I'm screwed.

I would post a picture of the screen but I do not know how to do that

Flickering horizontal lines across the screen

My Toshiba LCD TV has a thin black line going across the screen. TV is just a year old and is not under warranty. I've seen some comments that the LCD panel needs replacing. Is this my only option? Any other thoughts? Thanks.

Our Toshiba Regza Cinemax TV has been acting up, it has shadowing, sometimes horizontal and vertical lines. They are worst on the left side of screen. Anyone know what part may need to be replaced. This has been doing this for quite a while, it comes and goes. Paid almost $3,000 for this piece of crap it should have lasted more than five years.

HT2477 when i move the cursor across the screen it launches the dashboard - how do i stop it

when i move the cursor across the screen to the left it launches the dashboard - how do i stop it doing that ?

Hi Jimb9,
Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
If Dashboard seems to be launching automatically when you move your mouse to the left, first check to see if a "Hot Corner" has been set.
Hot Corners
To specify an action to perform when you move the pointer to a screen corner, choose the action from one of the Active Screen Corners pop-up menus.
After you set an active corner, move your mouse to that corner of your screen to see the result.
You can find the Active Screen Corners menu by going to System Preferences, then choosing Mission Control and clicking the Hot Corners button in the bottom left.
These articles have more information about Mission Control:

I have an iPhone 4s that is still covered under the AppleCare Protection Plan. I have a pretty significant crack across the screen and wanted to know if I have to pay any additional fees to replace the screen or replace the entire phone.

I have an iPhone 4s that is still covered under the AppleCare Protection Plan. I have a pretty significant crack across the screen and wanted to know if I have to pay any additional fees to replace the screen or replace the entire phone.
I was hesitant to purchase this protection plan at first about $70, but the customer service agent reassured me that there were no deductables and thats why I bought into it. But now that I look around on the support site, I see that it says that there are up to two incidents covered for a service fee of $49. Did I really get duped?

If the issue is a manufacturing defect, there is no cost to have the device replaced.
If the issue is a result of user damage (like a cracked screen) and you have AppleCare+ Apple will replace the device for the minimal fee of $49. They will do this up to two times during the timeframe of the protection plan.
If the issue is the result of user damage and you do not have AppleCare+ then the Out of Warranty replacement cost is $199 for the 4S.
No, you were not duped, you were simply not completely informed. Whether that was a result of them not sharing all the information or you only hearing what you wanted, no one here knows.

After updating to the new ios i can Undock ipad but cannot move it across the screen anymore! I'm using the ipad 3. Help anyone??

Hello
After updating to the new iOS on my ipad 3 I find that I can no longer move the undocked keyboard across the screen to my desired location as I used to. Does anyone else have the same issue?

Here's the writeup from the iOS 6 Manual for iPad about moving and splitting the keyboard:
Keyboard layouts
On iPad, you can type with a split keyboard that’s at the bottom of the screen, or undocked and in the middle of the screen.
Adjust the keyboard: Touch and hold , then:
Use a split keyboard: Slide your finger to Split, then release.
Move the keyboard to the middle of the screen: Slide your finger to Undock, then release.
Return to a full keyboard: Slide your finger to Dock and Merge, then release.
Return a full keyboard to the bottom of the screen: Slide your finger to Dock, then release. Turn Split Keyboard on or off: Go to Settings > General > Keyboard > Split Keyboard.
