All of a sudden my icons are big and everything is low res

All of a sudden my icons are big and everything is low res as if it in safe boot mode. I did not safe boot my computer. I have shutdown & restarted and it is the same. Could it be a virus?

First hold the Control key and scroll or swipe down to make sure that your display is not just zoomed in.
If that does not return the display to normal, go to System Preferences > Displays > Display tab and check the Resolution:
If that does not help, reset the PRAM as per > About NVRAM and PRAM
1. Shut down the computer.
2. Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P, and R. You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
3. Turn on the computer.
4. Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
5. Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
6. Release the keys.

All of a sudden my podcasts are 'frozen' . . . I can't select them and the text is gray, not black.

I'm traveling and count on my iPhone 4S for entertainment. But all of a sudden my podcasts are 'frozen' . . . I can't select them and the text associated with them is gray, not the usual black. OS 6.1.3
Any ideas? I suspect a setting somewhere, but can't find it or figure it out.
The podcasts on my laptop respond and play just fine.
Thanks for any help.

On the padcast playing screen on the right side below the scrubber bar is the playback speed icon. It can say 1/2X, 1X or 2X, those are the playback speeds. Tap the icon to change speeds.

After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

After trying to update all in app store the icons are just staying on waiting position and noting happens

I have posted this quite a few times and some of these suggestions have worked for others in the past. See if anything works for you.
1. Tap the "waiting" icon and see if you can pause it. If it does pause, then tap it again and see if it will resume. If that works, repeat the same steps for each "waiting" icon.
2. Reboot the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider - let go of the buttons.
3. Make sure that you do not have a stalled download in iTunes - a song or podcast .... if you have a download in there that did not finish, complete that one first. Only one thing can download at a time on the iPad so that could be what is causing the problem.
4. If that doesn't work - sign out of your account, restart the iPad and then sign in again.
Settings>iTunes & App Store>Apple ID. Tap your ID and sign out. Restart the iPad by holding down on the sleep button until the red slider appears and then slide to shut off. To power up hold the sleep button until the Apple logo appears and let go of the button.
Go back to Settings>iTunes & App Store>Sign in and then try to update again. Tap one waiting icon only if necessary to start the download stream.
5. You can also try deleting the waiting icons - tap and hold down on an icon until it wiggles - the tap the X on the icon to delete it. Then try to download again. You can also dete apps in Settings>General>Usage>Storage.
6. You can try resetting all settings. Settings>General>Reset>Reset All Settings. You will have to enter all of your device settings again.... All of the settings in the settings app will have to be re-entered.
7. If all else fails, download the updates or the apps in iTunes on your computer and then sync the content to your iPad.

Open your messages app, click menu - settings. Should be an option in there to change if group sms comes in as mms. Not certain this is the fix for you, but worth a try.

How are you exporting your Images?
Which Image Export Preset are you using?
What are the settings for that Image Export Preset? (Sometimes the settings are not properly described by the name of the Preset.)
Here is the User Manual chapter on Exporting Images.

My dad's ipad 2 is glitchy. The icons are small, and some have no design. The dock is gone, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it won't turn

I was just checking fb when suddenly i accidentally pressed this app about this battery thing. Now some icons are small, and some icons have no design
There is no dock, and when I unlocked portrait orientation, it didn't turn. I turned it off and on about many times, and the play, fast forward, and reverse button are overlapping. ITS SO GLITCHY!

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the iPad shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the iPad back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps from the tray before doing the reset.

Reset the device:
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
