White blocks across the top of screen

My Iphone5 has a series of white blocks spaced uniformly across the top of the screen. When the phone is first turned on the blocks are not there. After a short time they appear and become denser. The phone functions perfectly, however.

Shiner, I had very strange things happen in a 6.0.3 project which I thought was due to the upgrade. Every title was rendered over a black background and an exported QT movie was rendered with an 'emboss' effect even though I had not set these options.
I moved the preferences (plist in user/libray/preferences) for iMovie to the desktop, still had the problems with the existing project but not new projects.
I redid the project from scratch with the 'clean' prefernces and it no longer had the strange behavior.

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.

Recently dropped iPhone 5 and now I have white boxes across the top of the screen.

Recently dropped my phone. Now I have white boxes across the top of the screen...does anyone know if this can be fixed?

Take it to an Apple Retail Store Genius Bar likely will be replaced but user damage voids the warranty
You could try reset and then if required a restore, worth trying but if no change then Out of Warranty exchange in US $229

There is a white stripe across the top of the browser window which covers the top of the sceen. I cannot see the navigation or menu options, how can I fix?

There is a white stripe about 3/4 of an inch tall across the top of the window. I cannot grab the menu bar, or see the menu or navigation window, or the search bar. When I click on the white strip, it goes through to the desktop like the top of the program does not exist.
I've never seen this issue before.

Connect in recovery mode iOS: Unable to update or restore
and follow this article: iPhone and iPod touch: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If you cannot remember the passcode, you will need to restore your device using the computer with which you last synced it. This allows you to reset your passcode and resync the data from the device (or restore from a backup). If you restore on a different computer that was never synced with the device, you will be able to unlock the device for use and remove the passcode, but your data will not be present. Refer to Updating and restoring iPhone, iPad and iPod touch software.

Horizontal white line across the Satellite A screen

Hi,
My computer screen has horizontal white line appeared across the screen recently. Computer is running perfectly normal but i don't know how to resolve this problem?
What could be the reason?

Im afraid it is due to defective display.
You can connect your notebook to external display to see if the same happen. if not it is the best evidence for my theory.

Make sure that toolbars like the "Navigation Toolbar" and the "Bookmarks Toolbar" are visible: "View > Toolbars"
*Open the Customize window via "View > Toolbars > Customize"
*Check that the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is on the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If the "Bookmarks Toolbar items" is not on the Bookmarks Toolbar then drag it back from the toolbar palette in the customize window to the Bookmarks Toolbar
*If missing items are in the toolbar palette then drag them back from the Customize window on the toolbar
*If you do not see an item on a toolbar and in the toolbar palette then click the "Restore Default Set" button to restore the default toolbar set up

When I try to use Firefox Browser on my Samsung Note 3, the screen comes up white after the orange bar runs across the top. It worked yesterday.

March, 9th, 2015 -- My Samsung Note 3 is on AT&T wireless, but I Have Xfinity wi-fi at home. Firefox browser worked yesterday & last night. Today when I search it comes up with a blank white screen after the orange bar runs across the top & never loads anything (words or pictures). When I open the tabs in the side bar, it shows the pictures for them, but still only loads a white page after clicking actual link. It will not sync the last few saved bookmarks with my computer. I made sure that I have the latest android version installed, but It still does this even after uninstalling & re-installing & restarting the phone. AT&T had an update a couple of days ago & I've already talked with their tech support with no resolution. I don't know if there is conflict with AT&T's update & current Android Firefox browser. Please Fix, thank you.

Yes, it does the same thing whether on wi-fi or 4G.

Help! I've got a white line going across the top to my I pod

I have a 80gb classic ipod and I've got a white line going across the top. it is extreamly annoying and nothing can fix it not even restoring my ipod what can i do

That sounds possibly like there are dead pixels on the screen. I am not too sure about what type of screen is in the new iPods, but on my Sony PSP there are white spots in places, which I was informed were dead pixels. Sony mentions it in their literature regarding the PSP.
You should be able to take it back to your Apple store, and they should be able to take a look at it for you.

Quit iMovie.
Locate a file named com.apple.iMovie.plist and get rid of it. iMovie will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash.
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iMovie.plist
Then do the same for Quicktime:
Quit QuickTime.
Locate a file named com.apple.quicktime.plist and get rid of it. QuickTime will create a new one the next time it runs. Empty the trash
The files are located here:
-->/Users/YourName**/Library/Preferences/com.apple.QuickTime.plist
Once that is done, (and this is most important) run a permissions repair from the Disk Utility folder. The re-boot.
