White lines in Thumbnails

Since I went to iPhoto 6, when I import pictures I now get three white lines in my thumbnails. There's two white lines that run the width of the picture on the bottom third of the picture, the top line being a little more visible than the lower line. The third line is at the very bottom of the picture and only extends from about 2/3rd's across the picture from the right to the left. They appear to be some sort of alignment keys, and when I look at the picture in edit mode they are not there, so it doesn't seem to be a issue with the picture. But it annoys me when looking at the thumbnails, and I would prefer to not see them. I can't find anything in preferences or anywhere else to turn them off. If I bring up edit and use the alignment slider the lines disappear from the thumbnails when I save the changes.

Dear Toad,
Thanks for responding. You are my iPhoto guru.
My problem is with scanned images, but RR also has the white lines when he imports from a CF card (I don't). I have a somewhat old Epson Perfection 2450 Photo, and use Image Capture, as Epson never updated the drivers for OS X. Image Capture gives me only three options for import, TIFF, JPG, or PNG. I import as JPG, usually at 600 dpi.
If I do a minor edit, even if I do not save it, the lines disappear from the thumbnail. I can tell which images I haven't edited yet, because the thumbnails all have white lines on them.
And if I edit (and make the lines disappear), then export the photo and then reimport, the lines do not reappear.
There are a few photos on which the lines will not go away at all, no matter what I do. I have tried exporting them--they still have lines. I have tried reimporting the original jpg--the lines reappear, and persist despite manipulation. These are only about 1% of the total. If I rescan the original, the problem seems to go away.
The lines are present at all magnifications except the largest, when they disappear, and then come back as I decrease magnification.
Any ideas?

     Hi Frank.
     I have just had jb Atlanta's problem while adjusting the contrast on a photo. I was creating a slideshow at the time. After a lot of reading up I was about to give up when I tried restoring the file to its original settings as you suggested. Bingo!
     However, that would only work for me, if I restored the settings while in the slideshow. All data had 'disappeared' when I attempted to open the photo in its original project folder.
     Hope this is of help. Many thanks.

After importing pictures they became grey with doted white line around

I have imported pictures (RAW CR2 format) from my camera hundreds of times and they all went well. But this time the only the import worked well (I saw the preview when each picture was imported). Then Iphoto asked if i would like to delete the pictures on the camera after import. I deleted them. But then when I should take a look at the pictures they were grey with doted white lines around all of them. When I chose a picture and check the properties I can see that the pictures use normal space. I tried to drag one picture to a directory in the finder but this didn´t work either. The export doesn't work either. When I scroll fast among the pictures I can see them for a short period but when I stop scrolling they will turn grey with doted white line around. Whats wrong? and how to solve?
system: iPhoto11 and Lion.

The ! turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
Option 1
Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Choose to Rebuild iPhoto Library Database from automatic backup.
If that fails:
Option 2
Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one. .

White line - No picture

I hafe an old Toshiba 35" color TV CX35E60 with nothing but white line across screen.
Ready to give away to someone who would repair it.
Need to know the part that is needed and cost of it.
Thanks.

Probably the thumbnails in your iPhoto library are corrupted.
Try to rebuild the thumbnails:
Hold down the option and command keys (⌥⌘) at the same time and double-click the iPhoto icon.
From the window that will pop up use the rebuild thumbnails option.
If you do not have acurrent backup of your iPhoto library, it would be safer to make a backup, before you try this.

What is this white line under my preview window?

I accidentally hit T while editing and suddenly there were 2 preview windows in my preview window. I hit T again and it went back to 1 but now there's a white line under my preview screen. What is it? And did it do something to my image? How do I remove it? And what does T do in adobe premiere? And what were those 2 preview images in my preview window?
Here's a picture:

Please help me, I've worked too hard on this project to have it be ruined now.

Dont think you have to worry about the white line. I think the program monitor is not updating correctly. Resizing the window should fix that.
T is for Trimwindow.

White Lines Across Powerpoint files converted to PDF

I have a number of PDF files that were created from Microsoft Powerpoint presentations on a Windows PC. The Preview inspector says they were created with Acrobat Distiller 8.2.2. Until recently, these PDFs looked 100% correct when viewed in Preview or Safari. Now, though, they have horizontal white lines across the pages. There are 6 white lines on each page, evenly spaced, each about 1 pixel in height. They stay at 1 pixel in height even when I zoom in/out on the document. At some zoom levels (100% being one of them), the area above and below some lines will become misaligned. When viewed with Adobe Reader 9, the lines are not there but the misalignment is (though it is not exactly the same as in Preview). Unfortunately, I can't say when this started happening other than it was fine in September (2010) and isn't this afternoon (Nov 22, 2010). It happens on a coworker's Macbook Pro as well as my iMac so it is not something unique to my Mac.
Anyone else seeing this? Any ideas as to how to fix it?

Hi, I am having this problem also on my iMac. Some of the images have the lines and some of them don't. When the PDFs are printed, the lines don't show. My problem is that these PDFs will be linked to on a website for the clients to print, and they will seem them with the lines. They are pretty unsightly, and my boss has put this into my lap to figure out, since I am the designer. Did you ever find an answer for this? I don't know where else to turn, since this company is insisting on using Pages, rather than something like InDesign.

Cursor arrow gone from solid black to having white lines go through it and trackpad is not working properly in mail and adobe acrobat - anyone know how this could have happened and how to solve it?

Can anyone help me? Concerned that I may have some kind of malware. My cursor arrow and trackpad are behaving strangely, The cursor used to be a solid black arrow but now seems to have horizontal white lines running through it. The trackpad does not function normally either. For example, when I use my trackpad to scroll up and down in mail it sometimes works and sometimes does not. In adobe acrobat it sometimes does not work. In facebook, the cursor does not line up behind the menu keys as it should.
Any one know how this might have happened and how I can stop it?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you boot, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually login automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test.

Scrolling with mouse on pages create black and white lines,

When scrolling with mouse, periodically the whole screen turns into black and white lines. Sometimes whole page, sometimes just pictures/side ads. If you continue to scroll it does go away but then you need to scroll back to where the lines started, its hard to explain, i have taken 1 photo of the problem but will take more photos as i can, i really enjoy how Firefox runs on my computer, it has always been the best browser for my needs. I did recently buy a new desktop, but it did it then also, so i removed it and tried running explorer and Google and i just don't like them, so i am hoping we can get this fixed.

When I turn on my iPod Touch 5th generation, half of the screen has vertical white lines and it is irresponsive to the touch... is there anyway this can be fixed because this is my third time in the last 4 months I have had problems with Apple.

The screen looks completely normal besides the vertical white lines on the right hand side of the screen, as the "slide to unlock" is lighting up and the time and date are changing, but the screen is unresponsive. After several problems with Apple in the last few months (and two defective iPods including this one and one iPhone), I really don't want to go through the whole process of bringing it in or getting a new one entirely. It would greatly help if someone knows a solution, even if that would require completely resetting the iPod to factory settings, as I have had is synced to iTunes before. It would be greatly appreciated if someone could help. Thanks.

Try:
- Reset the iOS device. Nothing will be lost
Reset iOS device: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
- Reset all settings
Go to Settings > General > Reset and tap Reset All Settings.
All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
- Restore from backup. See:
iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes
- Restore to factory settings/new iOS device.
If still problem, make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store since it appears you have a hardware problem. Seems like a bad digitizer or connection or logic board.

No matter what website I am on all of a sudden the page will be covered in black and white lines and I can't see any of the page. What is happening and how do I fix it? It has only started since I loaded Firefox 4 this week.

I am very frustrated because I keep having my pages become covered completely in black and white lines. It has even happened on this page when I tried to use the drop down arrow by 'this happened'. I can sometimes read the page if I click over the area I want to read but this is not common. This has only been happening since I downloaded Firefox 4. I thought this would be a better version but now I am not so sure.

I do not want to download another virus program.. I do not believe it is a virus. I am running the full version of Norton 360 and it is doing a daily scan. I have Windows 7, 64 bit OS.
This is very irritating !! If I wanted Yahoo I would ask for it !

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help.

My new iPhone 5 has black and white lines on the screen. It's not been damaged. I've tried turning it off but this does not solve the problem? Please help. I can't find my answer on the Internet.

By far the most common problem hardware-wise seems to be scuffs on the aluminium. Yours is the first report of a faulty screen I've seen.
If you use the same Apple ID on both devices it'll sync whatever you want it to - music/apps/photos/messages/etc.
I've just switched from a Galaxy S3 to iPhone 5 (having already owned an iPad for a while) so I'm in a similar position!

Blinky white lines then full white screen

So... Caught in some rain with my iPod touch in my pocket... Didnt get drenched or anything like that , but my clothes were definitely damp. Then it was in a dry tent overnight with me but got rather cold (40s, so not all that bad actually). This morning, turned it on and screen went crazy with blinky white lines the just went all white. it pretty much stays white now no matter what, although sometimes goes back to blinky lines for a few. I've turned it on and off a few times and tried plugging it into the charger. Sound out works fine when hooked up to my car interface btw.
Am I toast? I've heard of some solution where moisture exposed gadgets recover after sitting in uncooked rice... Anybody know if that's valid?
Any other suggestions?
IPod is 6 months old btw and this is the first time anything like this has happened.
Thanks,
dan p

Check the moisture indicators located inside the headphone port and the docking connector to see if the color changed from white to purple. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3302
And the recovery placing it in a sealed bag of rice worked for others and might be your only chance if the indicators got triggered.
