Everything on my screen, Mac Pro, shrunk! Gmail, bookmark pane, task bar menu, even the password sign in. I'm sure I did something with the fingers thing. How do I get back to default. The font is tiny, tiny. My operationg system is Mavericks.
Thank you for the list, I will print and keep it handy.
Contol F3 makes my whole screen larager or smaller.
Command option 8 does nothing that I can see.
Command option + or - will zoom in or out on the page I am on but if I change windows it reverts.
But bookmarks pane, the task bar, the password sign in and even the post I am writing (actually every printed word), are a font so small I almsost need a magnifiying glass. This includes web pages too!
I am using Mavericks.
Trying to retrace my steps when this happened. Nothing unusual, I was using airplay to watch a You Tube segment on the tv. I don't think that is related.
I really appreciate your help and comments on this. I can usualy google and find and answer, but to no avail with this one!

I have an ipad 2 WiFi. I was in the hospital having surgery and forgot my password. I tried several times but couldn't get it. I ended up disabling my ipad. There are important pics n notes in there that I need. How can I get back into it without using iTunes (because I bought it second hand, off ebay) and without losing all my saved items. Please help me!
If it's disabled then it's too late to copy any content off it or to take a new backup, you will have to reset it back to factory defaults by connecting it to a computer's iTunes : Forgot passcode for your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, or your device is disabled - Apple Support
Have you been backing up to the cloud ? If you have then after resetting it back to factory defaults you can restore to that backup : Back up and restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch using iCloud or iTunes - Apple Support
If you bought it second hand then had the previous user removed their account from Settings > iCloud (and had Find My iPad enabled) on it ? If not and the iPad is on iOS 7+ then you will have to contact the previous owner to reactivate the iPad after resetting it : Find My iPhone Activation Lock: Removing a device from a previous owner’s account - Apple Support -

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.
GailI had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

Final cut Pro 10.0.8 was installed on my computer when I got it.
It now will not work with OS Yosemite. How do I update Final cut so I can use it?
I am new to Mac Book Pro so I need help!!!You get FCPX legally only via AppStore; it then gets 'bonded' to your AppleID/Appstore account.
To update, log in with the Account you have purchased it - click update (for free)

I recently changed from a Mac Pro to an iMac. Despite using Migration Assistant, a large chunk of my recent emails and nearly all of my wife's emails have disappeared in transit. Strangely, emails from my distant past are still there. Time Machine is no help; the messages may be on my backup disc but they're behind an invisible icon. Any ideas as to how I can get them back?
Quit Mail. Force quit if necessary.
Back up all data. That means you know you can restore the Mail database, no matter what happens.
Triple-click the text on the line below to select it:
~/Library/Mail/V2/MailData/Envelope Index
Copy the selected text to the Clipboard (command-C). In the Finder, select
Go ▹ Go to Folder
from the menu bar. Paste into the box that opens (command-V), then press return.
A Finder window will open with a file selected. Move the selected file to the Desktop, leaving the window open. Other files in the folder may have names that begin with "Envelope Index". Move those files, if any, to the Trash.
Log out and log back in. Relaunch Mail. It should prompt you to re-import your messages. You may get a warning that the index is corrupt and that Mail has to quit. Click OK.
Test. If Mail now works as expected, you can delete the file you moved to the Desktop. Otherwise, post your results. -

A newspaper website asked if I wanted to tell them my location. Firfox popped up and asked if I wanted to automatically tell sites that ask my geographic location. I clicked and got more information. There was a section that gave instructions to permanently disable geographic location tracking. I followed the directions to disable, even though the default is no tracking. I had to type an two words with a : separating them into the address bar. This brought me to a long list of settings. I followed the directions but now it seems my location is being tracked by everyone.
How do I get back to this list of settings (which was not accessed through Options) to go back to the default?You can inspect and manage permissions for all domains on the <b>about:permissions</b> page via the location bar.

How do is get back to Read & Write permissions on HDs ?
Hi gang,
I was trying to set up one central folder for 4 iTune users (accounts) in our household.
One of the blogs said put in "Shared" folder and set permissions to "Read & Write". I tried but on "Everybody" is does not offer the "R&W" option, just "Read". They also said to be sure you clicked "Apply to Enclosed Items" in the drop down. Although I could not set "Everyone" to "R&W", I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" and the hard drives clicked for at least 15 minutes.
Afterward I got a pop up that said... System Extension "/System/Library/Extension/ACard6280ATA.kext" was installed improperly and can be used. Try reinstalling. and an OK button to click. I clicked OK and at least 100 more popup appeared, one after the other as I clicked OK. They all had the same basic message except the info after /System/Library/Extension/, it kept changing slightly on each new popup.
The big problem is I now have three of my four internal hard drives locked to my access and all they say custom on the permissions Privilege window. Only my main HD is working, thank God.
How do I get back to Read & Write on Privileges, and on all Hard Drives?
Thanks for any help, I just made the move to MAC but have good background with windows operating system.
GaryThanks for all the reply's, I really appreciate your time. I have Apple Care so I worked with Apple tech last night and today, but they had to pass problem on to their engineers. They did a great job trying to help and spent 2 hours helping me input in code through the Terminal screen. It helped a little, but we still can access drive 2, 3 and 4 due to the global permissions that were changed. All in all, it looks like we have to reinstall the OS on a washed HD.
I found out that the Repair program (Disk Utilities) only repairs permissions that were created after the initial set up. It won't correct original setting and that's what happened when I clicked on "Apply to Enclosed Items" at the root level. Likewise Time machine does not clone the main operating system so a restore would probably not get all the pieces back in their proper places.
I was thinking of doing a reinstall of the whole Mac HD drive (boot drive) with an exact copy I made with Carbon Cloner a month back, but the techs seem to think they will have to work on of the 4 individual HD I have.
Thanks again for the quick responses, I will let you know what happens in a few days.

16 mo young Mac Pro will not turn on. Dead. Why. No problems ever! Installed Yosemite and did not boot up after. Did that kill it? To young to die. What happened?what do I do now??????? Help!
Note that you don't have a Mac Pro as stated. Your profile says you have a MacBook Pro. Please clarify as they are entirely different computers. If nothing below works for you, then make a Genius Appointment and take it in for service.
Try these in order testing your system after each to see if it's back to normal:
1. a. Resetting your Mac's PRAM and NVRAM
b. Intel-based Macs: Resetting the System Management Controller (SMC)
2. Restart the computer in Safe Mode, then restart again, normally. If this doesn't help, then:
Boot to the Recovery HD: Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the
COMMAND and R keys until the Utilities menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the
computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager
screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.
3. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions: Upon startup select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions as follows.
When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported click on the Repair Permissions button. Wait until the operation completes, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
4. Reinstall Yosemite: Reboot from the Recovery HD. Select Reinstall OS X from the Utilities menu, and click on the Continue button.
Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because it is three times faster than wireless. -

Both Chrome and Finder seemed to freeze, so I restarted the computer. When the restart finished, I was in recovery mode. How do I get back to my regular login screen?
It starts up and asks for a language. After English, it goes to the OS X Utilities screen. I have gone to disk utility and verified the disks. They both say they are okay. If I click repair, it comes back with an error saying "Live file system repair is not supported." I just want my computer back to normal! Please help! I am still in Mavericks if it matters.Do you have a backup? If so, in the Recovery Partition go to Disk Utility/Erase, select Mac OS Extended (Journaled), click Option GUID, and erase the disk. Then re-install the OS. Reboot and use Setup Assistant to recover your data.
