Hello ahammel921,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Please reset your iPhone by holding the home and lock/unlock button at the same time, until the screen goes blank and the Apple logo reappears.
Turn your iOS device off and on (restart) and reset
Take care,
Alex H.

  • Imac late 2006 has two big white bars on the screen.

    Hello,
         I have a late 2006 intel imac and it also has the apparently extremely common vertical white bars on the screen.
    They have the same size, about a twelveth of the whole screen, and are spaced by a well functioning bar of exactly the same size. So i thought this could be a problem with the connectors, and i wondered, is there any connector inside the imac that has 12 pins?
    P.S.: I'm trying to fix this myself because i took it to an apple authorized repair center (which is the closest we have in Portugal to a real Apple repair center), and they said it would be 550€, a ridiculous amount of money, since the screen costs something like 150€, and they ended up charging me 50€ just for letting it stay the night since they didn't even open it.
    I have been an extremely loyal customer and am extremely disappointed in Apple for not replacing this screens for free, since it's clearly a manufacturing problem.

    You are just better off saving up your money to buy a new iMac.

  • White bar across iPhone 4 locked out after iOS7 update...Help

    I did the iOS7 udpate this morning and now I have a white bar across my iPhone 4 screen and locked out.   I am only able to answer incoming calls at this point.  I tried restoring from backup but it needs me to turn off the locate phone option from the phone - can't because I'm locked out by white bar. The off button on the top of the phone hasn't worked for nearly a year to try to reset it that way.  Any other ideas out there?

  • White ring around iPhone screen

    The screen on my friend's iPhone 4s suddenly has a white ring around the screen. Looks something like the photo below. Why would that suddenly appear? Is there any at-home fix?

    Basic troubleshooting from the User's Guide is reset, restart, restore (first from backup then as new).  However, I doubt any of that will help as I strongly suspect the issue is caused by either a hardware failure or user inflicted damage.

  • White square on iphone screen

    I recently started seeing a white square on the top left corner of the screen while unlocking or opening or closing apps. Has anyone else seen this issue? It's happening on the 5s and also on the 5.

    Hello, I have the same problem. With Iphone 5S when I open an App, sometimes, not always, emerges a flash light on the top right corner of the screen. It last only half a second but it *****. I went to Apple Store, and in the Genius Bar they took a look, said they didn't know the problem, but I insisted and they changed the Iphone for free. At home, the new Iphone 5S does the same.

  • White spots on iPhone screen

    3 months ago, I bought the Apple iPhone 4s via Three UK. It was a brand new contract phone.
    About a week ago, the phone developed a bright white spot in the middle of the screen, white is very noticeable.I had not dropped the phone at all. Then, a few days ago, another bigger but not as bright dot appeared on the screen. What is this and how can it be fixed? I believe the iPhone is in its warranty, but I'm not sure what the problem is.
    Thanks in advance,
    bainb8248

    So I am currently facing the same issue on my brand new iPhone 6. When I unboxed it and was setting it up I noticed a fairly big white spot near the upper edge of the screen. The size actually reduced down to pixel width by the next day. So this might happen in your case in another days time (maybe). If it does its the exact same issue!
    Currently my phone is at the service center and they're having a look ... Suggest you should get it checked as well

  • Inch Pure white Bar destroying my screen

    The other day I woke my mac up and started doig some work in illustrator when... everything was fine till a few lines of the same colour pallet started to appred verticaly on my screen..... it got worse and worse till its now a one inch thick bar or pure white.....
    I don't think its software as a screen capture doesn't pick it up, so i thought right must be a montier problem BUT if i turn it off for a while and then back on the bar/lines are gone till about 5-6 min later where they will slowey fade back in.....
    Im now convinced it's to do with overheating, but over heating of what? I've searched apple support up and down and done everything I could, the only think that i noticed is after i reset the SMU my fans were always on, and apone a restart the lines would fade out (maybe due to the fans cooling the system more then usual)
    Anyone got a take on what this could be? Im gonna send back to apple (still got a 2 months warrenty left) but i really need it for the next 2 weeks as im a student on his final degree ...
    Just to add apart from the bar, everything else works fine etc

    "the only think that i noticed is after i reset the SMU my fans were always on"
    Reason for that is due to using the wrong reset procedure. Since there is no SMU, but an SMC, use this instead:

    Doesn't sound like overheating, sounds like a display problem.

  • Flickering white bars across screen

    my friend's daughter's 4th generation touch went from operating normally to racing/static like white bars across the screen.
    touch pad still responded - we tried to restart as well as restore to factory setting with no improvement
    now when trying to start up from restore screen freezes, with white bars, on location enable question.
    please help

    When restoring to factory defaults/new iPod fails to solve the problem thne you likely ahve an hardware problem and an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is in order or acll AppleCare if under warranty.

  • Colored and white lines across iPad screen

    Ok so I got home from work and I pulled my iPad out of my laptop bag and I noticed that when I turn it on there are like these colored lines and also this big white bar across the screen. Why are those things there?

    My son bought the original ipad in November 2010, it is now only a few weeks out of warranty. He turned it on tonight and as other people have mentioned on this forum the ipad now has coloured lines across the screen.  I called customer services and I must say i am extrememly disappointed with the response I got.  They offered me a replacement for £260.....  no other explanation other than it may be a hardware problem.  After paying £600 for the original ipad only just over a year ago I would expect better from Apple.  Myself, my husband and my three children all have iphones and other apple products but I must say if this is the support you get then I would consider other options in the future.  Very disappointing.......  If anyone else other than a customer service agent who reads from a script can help then please get in touch. Thanks

  • White panel across the screen

    Probably a failure of the LCD panel.  You can check this by plugging in an external monitor.  If the white stripe isn't there, it's the panel.

    You can not merge accounts.
    Apps are tied to the Apple ID used to download them, you can not transfer them.

  • Why are there white bars across the top of my iPhone 5 screen?

    I have a brand new iphone 5 (not 5S) which has white bars across the top of the screen. The bars are quite faint at first, if the screen has been locked for a while but they get brighter while you use the phone. The bars overlap and obscure the time and battery symbols but you can still see through them with effort.  I have tried turning it off and on again but this has not helped. It may have happened after the phone was updated to the latest version (iOS 7.1.2).  this was required so I could transfer my old phone's information from a backup. Has anyone  experienced this issue or know the cause of it?

    Hi Ererer, I am sorry to hear that you are having that problem with characters showing up at the top of your screen. I had a similar problem so I understand how frustrating it can be. This problem has been linked to some antivirus software. Could you tell me what kind you use? I have also found an easy solution to this. When they appear simply drag the window from its maximized state down. It will no longer take up the full screen and the characters will be gone and everything will be back to normal. If you want it maximized again simply drag it back. I hope this helps.

    Last night my iphone screen all of a sudden was solid blue and now it is black. I tried turning it on and off.  Still nothing appeared on the screen.  I put it on the charger and this morning it is totally black.  However, when I hit the on and off button, I did hear the text message signal go off. When I turned the volume on and off a big white bell flashed.  In the last week, there were some other display problems such as the screen blowing up large. The only way to fix it was to turn off the phone and then turn it back on. 
    What does all of this mean? It seems like I've had these problems since the iphone 4 upgrade.

    just do reset, press home button and power butoon for a while untill you can see apple
    gud luck

  • Windows 7 bootcamp show black screen with a small white bar

    I just upgraded my iMac mid 2011 21.5" with a crucial m4 SSD. The SSD is plugged in the disk 1 DATA port and on the SSD power on the motherboard. I fully installed Windows 7 with all the driver and updates. My mac is upgraded with the lastest update. The crucial m4 firmware is 009. I installed no driver for the SSD.
    The problem is that when I start my bootcamp it only show a black screen with a small white bar on the corner. I waited about 5 minutes before to close the computer manually. The only way my bootcamp work is when I put my Windows 7 DVD in the reader for the startup.

    Sometimes windows installation will install a WDM driver for ati or nvidia. It causes the screen to go black altho ugh everything else is running in the background. I found that using an external monitor will allow you to see the screen so that you can install the lastest bootcamp drivers. After the drivers are installed the screen comes back.  I reinstalled windows 3 times and tried all other solutions including repairing the hard drive in disk utility.
