Can't turn off zoom

I was trying to dim the screen and accidentally double-clicked on Display in System Preferences. It instantly put the screen into Zoom. I have tried to turn it off using keyboard shortcuts (Command Option 8) and also in Universal Access, but it won't go back to normal display. Also on the log in page, it announces something to indicate that the hearing function of universal access is also turned on, but I can't shut this off either. Restarting the computer didn't have any effect.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Hmmm, do you know what 3rd party apps you might have running?
One way to test is to Safe Boot from the HD, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, Test for action in Safe Mode...
PS. Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive
Reboot, test again.
If it only does it in Regular Boot, then it is some 3rd party add-on, Check System Preferences>Accounts>Login Items window to see if it or something relevant is listed.
Check the System Preferences>Other Row, for 3rd party Pref Panes.
Also look in these if they exist, some are invisible...

How can I turn off zoom level?

I wish to turn off the zoom on the screen, as I move the cursor around so the size of the screen changes.
Anyone know how to do this?

Hello
To be honest I dont know what you mean exactly.
I never heard that the size of screen changes when you move the cursor.
Does it happen with external mouse or touchpad?
What notebook you have exactly?

I can't turn off Accessibility Grayscale

When I pulled my iPhone 5 out of my pocket yesterday evening and tapped the Home button, it came on with everything in black-and-white. Apps open in grayscale and so do album covers, photos and pages in Safari.
I've toggled Accessibility Grayscale on and off for 3 complete cycles and nothing changed.
I upgraded from iOS 8.0.0 to 8.0.2 and nothing changed.
I've toggled Accessibility Grayscale on and off for 3 complete cycles again and nothing changed.
I've powered down and back up and nothing changed.
I've noticed brief flashes of color when I'm on a web page with lots on tiny flag icons as I rotate the screen from vertical to horizontal and vice-versa. Once it gets to the new screen orientation, the color reverts to grayscale.
Any ideas what's wrong and how to fix?

Tried restarting the phone and holding the Home button at the same time several times last month and nothing changed. I was about to give up.
Then Wednesday at work I walked to the restroom, and when I got back to my desk, I saw on my PC I had pocket Tweeted gibberish during the walk. I took the phone out, turned it on and canceled out of a couple other things it had tried to do in my pocket. When the home screen was left, all the icons were back in color. It had very definitely been still in grayscale earlier when I had been reading my Twitter feed at the chiropractor's office before work. It stayed in color the rest of the night. The only thing unusual was the battery was down to 20% and red for no reason when I plugged it in to charge while I was asleep.
But wait, it gets better ...
When I woke up Thursday and checked my notifications, there was a large square white box outline with rounded corners I'd never seen before. It went from side to side, but the height was the same as the width, so it did not fill the vertical screen. At bottom center of the white box was a button the shape of a capsule. Touching it opened a menu of about 5 option, the first 2 of which were Zoom In and Zoom Out, and the bottom option toggled between Show Controller and Hide Controller.
So I swiped to unlock the phone and something very interesting happened when the home screen appeared. The white box outline was still there and the icons outside it were still in color, but all the icons inside the white box were grayscale. When I dragged the box to the bottom of the screen, the icons at the top became color and the icons at the bottom became grayscale.
So I recalled the suggestion to turn off Accessibility Zoom, which it would not let me do earlier, so I tried that again. I held it in the Off position for more than a minute and when I let go, it looked like it finally stayed off, so I restarted the phone. When it came back up, the white box outline was gone, everything was in grayscale, I couldn't turn off Zoom and I'm right back where I started.
This recent episode reminded me that before it got stuck in grayscale, I had for a couple of weeks been having trouble with the phone pocket Zooming for no apparent reason. For several weeks before grayscale started, I would take the phone out of my pocket and at least once a day would have to double tap it with 3 fingers to get it to zoom out before I could even see the place to swipe to unlock it.
So maybe the subject line of this thread should be: I can't turn off Zoom, and that has me stuck in Grayscale.

How can I turn off the large blue location circle in apple maps?

How can I turn off the large blue location circle in apple maps, MacBook Pro 15 (2011)? It is to large. At times I need to zoom into my home location, but the large blue circle hides the location I need.

Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

How can I turn off the WLS 6.1 security in order to develop my own application-based security module?

Dear Colleagues,
I am currently developing a J2EE application using WLS 6.1.
My team and I have to implement a security requirement to suit our company's needs.
The security requirements are that, users' password need to be aged (30 days maximum) and we need to provided a GUI front-end (JSP) to allow users to change their password when these expire after 30 days.
Our internal contacts in the company, have already taken the lead to find out about whether we will be able to use the WLS 6.1 platform to do this and the answer we got back, was.
Now we need to develop our own security module.
I have 2 questions:
1. How can we turn off the WLS security in order develop our own application-based security module?
2. How can we develop a security module that allows us to age users' password and provide them with facilities to change their passwords when these expire?
At the moment, we are using the default BEA WebLogic login.jsp page and there some configuration in the web.xml for this. I will be grateful if you could advise me on how to turn this default security off so that we can write our own security module.

hi,
1.You can write your own realm in 61 which can plugged for your security
calls.
2. once you write your ownrealm.. you can access it through weblogic
api/ur api..
thanks

There is no power switch. You cannot turn off your Apple TV. You can only put it in standby (sleep) mode. To power the unit off your only option is to pull the plug.

Once I have synced my Google calendar to iCal, can I turn off syncing and save all info in iCal?

I have been using Google Calendar, and syncing info from it to my Mac, iPad and iPhone. Now that all the info I originally entered into Google Calendar is on my Apple devices, can I turn off syncing it and save all the events, birthdays, etc. that were put into iCal up to this point? I have only been adding to my iCal via the Mac, iPad or iPhone for several months now, so it seems silly to keep using Google Calendar.

Unless you have backed up your iCal data, there is no way to retrieve the now missing data. To easily back up your calendar data, simply choose the Back up Database… option under the File menu in iCal.
Microsoft cautions users that deletion of the Entourage calendar in iCal—without first disabling the synchronization function with Entourage—will result in exactly the outcome you see.
If you have not subsequently synchronized with .Mac since you deleted the iCal calendar, you can selectively restore calendar files as a collection of calendars from .Mac by using the Reset Sync Data… option in the .Mac preference pane by launching System Preferences, pressing the .Mac icon then the Advanced tab, and waiting for your client list to update. Once you've done that, press the Reset Sync Data… button, choose Calendars from the drop down menu and pick the option to replace the data on your Macintosh with data stored on the .Mac servers.

How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?

Howdy,
I have searched high and low in the preferences and found nothing that does the trick. How can I turn off the yellow pop-up tool tips?
See attached screen shot. They are incredibly annoying. It's probably obvious, but I cannot find it anywhere on internets or this forum.
Thanks!

Thanks Nancy. Unfortunately that doesn't do it. I turned those off awhile back. Nor can I find anything under VIEW that seems to make a difference. Just FYI: I'm on a Mac OS w/Dreamweaver CS6 - but this has happened on previous versions of DW. Thanks again.
