MY 5th generation iPod touch has developed a weird little black line on the middle left side of my screen. It only appears on the app screen and when I open an app the line disappears. What is this line and how can I get rid of it? For some reason the line appeared in a screenshot of the app screen.
iPod touch, iOS 8.4.1
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.
- Unsync/delete all music and resync
To delete all music go to Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Manage Storage>Music>Tap edit in upper right and then tap the minus sign by All Music
- 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:
Restore your device from an iCloud or iTunes backup - Apple Support
- 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. I doubt it is a hardware problem.
Why is there a small black line on my iPod touch?
