Yellow Verticla Lines on my 17" MacPro

I am getting Yellow Vertical lines running down my screen on my MacBook Pro. Does this mean my screen is going bad or is there a way to repair this. It started about a month ago and now I have 3 lines - with 2 of them coming up in the last week. Any thoughts? Video card or connections between screen and video card?

Hi Anton
Yes, this is likely due to faults in the LCD or cable connection. If it's still under warranty, you should contact Apple. Unfortunately, there's no easy fix that you can perform yourself on this one.
By the way, your signature implies that you have a "G4 MacBook Pro" ... do you mean "G4 AND MacBook Pro"?

Thin Verticle Lines when Printing from Photoshop

Everytime I try to print from Photoshop CS5 my HPdeskjet 990cse only prints thin verticle lines. The Image Prints fine from any other program such as Microsoft Word, it just seems to have an issie printing from Photoshop

Hi kel2roll,
No, I never did figure it out. I now save the photoshop files, then open them in preview and print from there. I did everything everyone suggested, except de-install and re-install the printer, which I didn't know how to do, but I got the same result you did, only in b & w.
Let me know if something pans out,

Verticle lines in the script

HI all.
I have an issue in the script printing.
we are printing a table in the layout using the script.
in this table how to get the Verticle lines, inbetween the coloumns.
can any body help me to solve this issue.
Thanks in advance,
regards,
Eswar

u can use box but for vertical line give width 0.
Pre-Setting BOX Position Arguments
You can use the POSITION and SIZE commands to preset some arguments in the BOX command. POSITION presets the start point (upper left corner) of a box or line. SIZE specifies the width and height of a box.
You can use POSITION and SIZE to preset arguments, but you can also set the start point and size arguments of a box or line directly in the BOX command.
By default, if no positioning is specified, the upper left corner of a box or halftone or the top of a line is aligned with current SAPscript window. That is, the upper left corner of the box, halftone, or line starts at the upper left corner of the current window in the active form. By default, the height and width of a box are set to the height and width of the current window.
Use POSITION and SIZE to preset the arguments in a BOX command in the following situations:
The BOX command exceeds the 132-character (1 line in SAPscript) length limitation if you specify all arguments directly in the command. You may exceed this length limit if, for example, you use symbols in a command.
By pre-setting arguments with POSITION and SIZE, you can work around the limitation on the length of a command. You do not need to specify the preset arguments in the BOX command.
You want to use the enhanced capabilities of POSITION for adjusting the starting point of a box or line.
With BOX, you can specify an offset for the starting point only as a whole number (non-negative integer). This command would print a box starting 1 CM to the right and 1 CM down from the left upper corner of a window:
/: BOX XPOS '1' CM YPOS '1' CM
With POSITION; you can adjust the position of a line or box relative to a window much more precisely. In the POSITION command, you can specify positive and negative offsets and use non-integer numbers.
Example: The commands shown below position a box slightly to the left and slightly above a window. This leaves a margin between the edge of the box and the text in the window.
/: POSITION XORIGIN '-.2' CM YORIGIN '-.2' CM
/: SIZE WIDTH '.2' CM HEIGHT '.2' CM
/: BOX FRAME 10 TW
(Note that the box must be enlarged to accommodate the shift. If it is not enlarged, then it will not cover all of the window.)
You can also use POSITION to set the starting point to the upper left corner of the active page format. Example: POSITION PAGE moves the starting point from the active window to the active page format.
You want to use the relative sizing capabilities of SIZE to adjust the size of a box, line, or halftone.
With BOX, you can make only absolute size specifications. BOX HEIGHT, for example, overrides the default height setting to the height of the current window.
With SIZE, you can adjust the size of a box or a line with respect to its previously-set dimensions. The following commands would, for example, draw a frame 1 CM in from the margins of the paper:
/: POSITION PAGE
/: POSITION XORIGIN 1 CM YORIGIN 1 CM
/: SIZE PAGE
/: SIZE HEIGHT '-2' CM WIDTH '-2' CM

Yellow WP Lines in sm50 -- Why?

<b>Yellow WP Lines in sm50</b>
Hi together,
does someone knows for want logical event are yellow lines in sm50.
So, I know red markers at the error column, but I can't find a description
for what are yellow lines? The whole line in yellow in the backround.
We are running 4.70 with WAS 6.20 and Kernel 640 on System i with V5R3.

hi, have a look at sapnote 998.221...might be the case
sap states that under certain circumstances it might be possible that work processes change their trace level (yellow = trace level 2)...be prepared to check your trace files which will grow fast!
can be fixed using kernel patch 640/155....

Yellow Opacity line: how to put points and fade in/out

Hello,
I am new to Adobe Premiere Elements 12, but started on Premiere years ago. It's good to be back. I used Final Cut Express for 6 years and due to and OS upgrade it no longer works.
Forgive me if I use the wrong terminology, but I just watched a 15-minute tutorial and did not find the answer I'm looking for. Here is my quesiton:
I am trying to put points on the yellow opacity line that is on each video clip. I want to have total control over laying different clips. I was able to easily do this in Final Cut Express but choosing a "pencil" tool and clicking on the point where I wanted the opacity to begin changing. Then click a second point, drag up/down, etc...
How do I place points on this line and then adjust it up or down?
thanks

Try resetting >
Hold the On/Off Sleep/Wake button and the Home button down at the same time for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't help, try restoring > Backing up, updating, and restoring your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch software

Yellow, horizontal line fluctuations

I'm completely new to this forum but am hoping that someone will be able to help.
I've had my 12" PowerBook G4 for almost 4 years, and just today the screen started showing something really odd. There are a bunch of faint, yellow, horizontal lines spanning across the display, and they fluctuate whenever the computer is "thinking" or the display changes (e.g., cursor moves, web page loads, etc.) Also, the lines seem to be getting worse (more and more of them) over time.
I ran TechTool Delux from the AppleCare startup CD-ROM, but it didn't detect anything wrong with the video.
If this is stable, then it'll just be an annoyance and I'll live with it. But I'm worried about my screen suddenly dying. Any help/suggestions out there?

So, no solutions from anyone? Oh well...
At any rate, the problem doesn't seem to be getting worse. The overall quality of photos and figures now look "fuzzy", and colors are kind of dulled with a yellow-brown tinge. For now, I can live with this, especially since I can't afford a new computer right now!
Next week, I'm going to try a clean install of the OS. I doubt it will help my screen, but we'll see.

Start up white screen yellow vertical lines

hi
when i start up my iMac it loads with a white screen with yellow vertical lines and apple logo with download bar loading then goes to white screen.

Sounds like a hardware failure. Run Apple's Hardware Test 2-3 times back to back in extended mode. If any errors appear that confirms the hunch, the ONLY thing to do is take it in for repair.

HT6114 Since updating my mbp it has started freezing on a bright blue screen with verticle lines.

Hello, II have just used teh software update and it updated my macbook pro - I think I am now using Maverik, 0SX 10.9.2
My computer keeps crashing with a bright blue screen and verticle lines. One time it crashed so it looked like my desktop was a split screen. I reboot and it starts up OK but then it happens again. I have run disc utility which says I there are no problems. Does anyone know what is happening and how to fix it?
Thanks

Might be a hardware issue. (graphics card)

Yellow vertical line on 2009 mbp screen

I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem I have a 13" mbp 2.53 intel core 2 duo late 2009 model and the screen has recently developed a small yellow vertical line about 4 in from the right side of the monitor its obviously a screen issue because when its plugged in to the tv the line doesn't follow i have had this thing for less that two years and did not buy the apple care i have owned many apples and i'm kinda disappointed about all this especially because of how much this thing cost.

If you are in the U.S. and they won't cover it under AppleCare, these shops are often less expensive.

Your only argument might be if there is no physical damage to the machine, and you can tell them you have never dropped, nor let anything heavy lean against the machine, nor bumped the machine, nor over-extended its hinge, nor spilled anything into it. Then it might be arguably a manufacturer defect that AppleCare could cover if you still have AppleCare. If you didn't get AppleCare, let this be a caution note, that you have up to a year to purchase AppleCare to extend coverage for a full 3 years from date of computer's purchase.

Yellow Vertical Lines on Desktop

I have a 10.4.11 OS X version. I recently got 2 yellow vertical lines on my desktop display and need to know how to get rid of them. I reset PRAM and that did not work. Any advice is appreciated.

What model Mac exactly (I don't even know if it is a laptop or desktop)? Have you tried using a different monitor to see if it is the monitor?

HELP QUICK, iMac blurry in verticle lines, lines in loading screen, loading screen yellow.

Hey all,
i have a problem with my mid 2010 iMac, i have weird lines that appear on the loading screen and the apple logo looks distorted. the loading screen takes a longer time to load and when it finally does there are vertical strips that appear on the screen and alternating strips are blurry and distorted. i tried to restart it and the loading screen turned yellow with blotches in it.
I fear it is the graphics card which is at fault. is there anyway to check this?

Specifically, no. Generally, this seems to be a graphics board problem. There's some controversy regarding its cause, but an old, faulty graphics board and too much heat are popular choices. This happens not infrequently with computers, across platforms.
The way to avoid it? Certain runs of computers seem to be more prone to this problem, but consistently low temperatures seems to keep this problem at bay.

On my iphone 4s I got a scratch on it,then about a month later there are verticle lines and a high pitch noise til it is done focusing. What's wrong with my phone?

Hello
Okay so I have had my Iphone for almost an entire year and there's a problem. I have gotten a scratch a scratch about a month ago on the back camera. It's at the very bottom. I've gotten used to it so it doesn't bother me. Well ever since like a week ago my camera gets colorful lines that are verticle and go away when it's focused. Not to mention the high pitch noise while it focuses with the lines. I'm getting irritated with it. Mainly what's is wrong with my phone?! Also how much is the cost?

Since we can't examine your phone, we really have no idea what is wrong. Why don't you make an appointment at your local Genius Bar and get the phone examined and what your options are moving forward.

Yellow(blue line) on my iMac MC309 21,5 inch

I have used my iMac for half a year only and got a yellow, blue (depending on the background) line on the left. I tried almost everything, rebooting, turning off, resetting PRAM and NVRAM and nothing helped. What should I do? Is it a serious problem?

Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.

Powerbook Al 1.25GHz screen shows yellow boxes/lines

My five year old AlPB recently started showing yellow lines/boxes on the screen. The first time it happened I was in safari and quitting fixed the problem, it then happened later that day and quitting didn't fix anything. i rebooted twice with no luck, then booted up with leopard DVD and it was fixed. A week later the same thing happened and after multiple reboots nothing fixed it. I reset the PRAM and no luck. Then i ran the hardware test and halfway through the test while it was checking the RAM it fixed its self and everything passed the test. However after waking it from sleep twice it has again showed these lines/boxes (but now only in the finder not in other applications) and a restart has resolved the issue. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing this. I took a screenshot and the picture contained the lines indicating that it is a hardware problem not the LCD. Thanks for you help.

From what I gather, there is a whole slew of us with all the same problem whether its single lines that multiply as time goes by or for us earlier ALPB owners, we get a whole screen full of intermittent checkered patterns, but since these machines are all a couple years old and out of warranty I am pretty sure Apple is not going to be much help. They'd rather us dip into our pockets and buy new computers than to spend some big bucks themselves and stand behind their products.
The only good news is that if you are handy enough to disassemble the machine and send only the logic board to a reputable lab, they can re-solder the video chip back in place and this solves the problem for about $60 to $100. This seems to be better than dishing out anywhere between $250 to $700 for a new logic board, which runs the risk of having the same defect 2 to 3 years down the road since they don't seem to have been built right the first time.
If you want to know if you have the exact same problem that most of us all have, then press on the case above the track pad or from the bottom in about the same area. Not hard, but just enough to flex the logic board a little inside. You will notice that it temporarily fixes the problem, but don't get too happy. Working that lose video chip back and forth only worsens the problem, so soon you it will be to a point where it will only help if you constantly hold pressure in a key spot which is unique to each PB.
It's too bad though. I was just beginning to really think Apple was different.
