When an app (or several) are misbehaving, I usually go through the following steps:
1. Force Close - open the multi-tasking bar (double tap the 'home buttom' or use multi-gesturing and swipe up):
a. iOS 6.x - press & hold an app until all begin to 'jiggle'; find the offending app(s) and press the 'red circle w/ minus sign' - return to the home screen & try again.
b. iOS 7.x - find the offending app - then press and drag to the top of the screen - return to the home screen & try again.
2. Restart - press & hold the 'Sleep/Awake' (a.k.a. power) button until a red slider appears (may take a few seconds) - move the slider to turn off the iPad; then press & hold the same button until the Apple logo appears - wait for a restart.
3. Reset - press & hold the 'Power' and 'Home' buttons simultaneously until the Apple logo appears - this may take a longer time, so have patience; the iPad will 're-boot' - NOTE that none of these maneuvers will alter your apps, files, or settings.
Thought the blue stripe was in the photo -- just checked and it is added in the camera roll also - wherever the background is pure white. Did a reboot. Didn't help. I upgraded to 7.0.3 about a week ago but the blue stripe started about 24 hrs ago so I did not connect the two. Guess I'll have to take it in to the apple store.
Could you show us a screenshot? It would make it easier to tell exactly what the problem is.I have a bold blue stripe around some items, & other times it's the vertical blue stripe. I've done hard boot, etc...nothing. Is this a hint to update to 9.2
press home button thrice your problem would be solvedSuddenly I have a vertical blue stripe in many apps - Safari, eMail, Settings, App Store etc. It's irritating. How can I get rid of it?
