Rectangle vertical lines on Macbook

Turned on my Macbook Air and was greeted with this screen:

I tried from a Thunderbolt/HDMI connection our TV without success.  I can't the computer after the screen "Do you want to reset your password?".  As my HD is encrypted, I can't launch from the startup disk or delete.

I am out of warranty and since it was a renovated 11 "Air I didn't make money on AppleCare.

This Air is pampered.  It is kept in a neoprene case and when I travel, it is at the centre of a heavily padded Briefcase.  Never been abandoned.  He was working in the morning.  Close to my trip.  Turned on at the hotel and voila!

Someone at - he lived this before?

Either of these methods is better boot?

Startup, (now shift key at startup), run disk utility in Applications > utilities, then highlight your reader, click on repair permissions, restart when done.

Start with CMD + r or the Option/alt key to boot from the recovery partition & use utility disk from there to repair the disk, and then repair permissions.

  • Vertical lines problem

    Hello guys,.

    I have a MacBook Pro 17' Early 2011 model. It shows on the screen 5 red vertical lines and a blue vertical line. When the screenshot was taken, it does not show one of these vertical lines there. I'm so not if it's software problem or hardware problem. Help, please.

    More than likely a graphic card problem/failure.

  • Vertical lines in staircase at the start

    Hello

    Recently, my Early 2011 MacBook Pro 15 "showed vertical lines which were zig-zags in shape. Color was a little tinted air (barely) and the black vertical splitter bar, you see when you scan with four fingers between the offices appeared intermittently. Finally after 5 minutes it would go back to normal. This time that happened 2 or 3 times in a week, then didn't happen again for a few weeks. When she reappeared then, he remained longer and eventually repeated once again.

    Now, last time I checked, after having a Service authorised Apple centre run diagnostics (file system and hard drive checked OK, they said that "this problem is known to this particular age model") he was sitting on the bar of the progression for 2 hours Apple logo screen to halfway through the zig - zag lines before I turned off for good.

    The thing that bothers me is service technology said it is common for this computer at this age. What the likelihood is that he knows that for sure because all Early 2011 MacBook Pro's today are the same age and I can't imagine having experienced them this often enough to use as their diagnosis.

    Does anyone have experience or thoughts on this subject?

    I don't think it's common as tech service says, your MacBook Pro is somewhere something wrong.

  • Display vertical lines not working - blue and grey

    I bought a Macbook Air on July 2014, but did NOT purchase the extended Apple Care. On October 2015 the display just stopped working one morning given. Not even the Apple logo appears when you turn on the computer. The screen goes black night at vertical lines different colors of light blue gray. This happened only 3 months after the expiration of the warranty. I tried resetting the NVRAM, but it has no effect.

    As I am currently in the Brazil works, I had to make to local technical assistance, which sent me a quote to close to US $1000 to replace the display. It is about this that paid for the entire computer when it bought in Boca Raton, Florida.

    Apple will do something to replace it, or do I just give up the Macbook Air? I'm not ready to pay that much to fix and I find it absurd that this happened only 3 months after the expiration of the warranty. If this was a minor issue, OK. But the screen does not like that in such a short time is unacceptable.

    Here are some photos showing what the screen looks like:

  • vertical lines in envelope distort

    It is a single solid path of a crowd, and I used a linear gradient on this subject. distortion of the envelope makes these weird vertical lines. any way to remove them? Thank you

    Screen Shot 2016-01-27 at 10.45.26 AM.png

    I don't know exactly what you mean, but I thought about it.

    I just had to use a separate object - in my case just a rectangle - with the gradient applied with a blending mode multiply over the shape of the audience and used an envelope deformation on these two objects. slows down a bit, but it seems OK.

    Thanks to the efforts of all

  • Visual glitch (vertical lines after the first tab) with 33 FF

    Since Firefox 33.0, I have this glitch visual - a few random vertical lines that appear somewhere near first tab if only one tab is open. I tried different versions and it began with FF 33.0 and in all versions of 33. Now I test 34.0b7 FF and it seems that is not there. So I hope that its does not pop up when 34 goes stable.

    These lines are blinking / moving according to the place where my mouse, for example, move the mouse over the address bar allows you to change.

    Hello

    What happens if you disable graphics hardware acceleration? You will have to perhaps restart Firefox for it to take effect, so save any work first (e.g. you compose mail, documents online that you are editing, etc.).

    1. Click the menu button

      then select Options Preferences on Mac or Linux, or Windows.

    2. In the window of Firefox Options (or preferences), click on the Advanced tab, and then select general.
    3. You will find in the list of parameters, the checkbox use hardware acceleration when available . Clear this check box.
    4. Now restart Firefox and see if the problems persist.

    In addition, please check the updates for your graphics driver by following the steps in the following knowledge base articles:

  • Flashing of the vertical lines in the tab bar?

    There are small vertical lines in the tab bar. They appear after the closing of the tabs. They are flashing, then change places when I place the cursor on any Firefox buttons or bars. And sometimes, they are flashing and the text cursor in the address bar of mirror.

    Disable all modules and themes does not affect them.

    I'll try to add a screenshot of the problem.

    Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/tools > Modules > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is the cause of the problem.

    • Put yourself in the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/tools > Modules > appearance
    • Do NOT click on the reset button on the startup window Mode safe

  • By the numbers, certain cells show an internal vertical line that divides sometimes an entry. How can I eliminate this divide?

    Spontaneously numbers cells sometimes show a vertical line that can divide the cell and the inside entrance. Also it will not treat data in a split call correctly when these data are used in a formula. See below. Entry $5 300,07 is incorrect. SHD be the sum of the two entries above it.

    Hi William,.

    I suspect that you have in fact 2 tables here. Click on the bubble at the top left and drag the tables outside. After verifying that your table top is finished, ddelete another.

  • iMac late 2009, squares spread on the screen, vertical lines of color

    Hi, while working on the imac 2009 end got suddenly squares scattered all over the screen and froze, rely on the button in the back to restart. After reboot when starting, I got colored vertical lines at the same time with the logo of apple and after the screen whent white, and that's it nothing else, remains just white. Appreciate any input.

    Sounds like your graphics card has failed. Find a CENTER in your area and make it check and get an estimate to determine if it is cost effective to repair.
