Icons too big & running off screen

My icons on my new iphone huge and running off the screen. Not sure how that happened but can't figure out how to get it back to normal size. I tried resetting the phone and that didn't work. Wait time for a support person is a 1/2 hour. Any suggestions?

This is indeed the zoom feature in Accessibility Mode.
This feature is activated and deactivated by double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers.
In order to make it easier to get to the Accessibility menu to turn this feature off, double-tap your screen with 3 fingers and it will go back to normal.
I accidentally activated the zoom feature and spent the better part of an hour just trying to get to the accessibility menu because I kept activating icons. A triple-finger double-tap would have saved me a LOT of headache

  • When I open my iPad the page is too big for the screen and won't shrink down. The keypad has also become very 'sticky'

    Recently when I open any apps the pages are too big for the screen. They shrink when pinched but immediately become bigger again. It's very difficult to scroll too. The keypad has become very sticky. Missing letters and spaces when I type and needing to tap the keys much harder than usual

    I have the exact same problem, I think.  I was on my iPad 3's home page swiping R-L to locate a certain icon when all of a sudden the screen appeared to get HUGE.  So big I could only see one or two icons.  I couldn't even turn it off to try a reboot because after I pushed the sleep/wake button, I couldn't find the red slide bar.  I finally just had to wait for the battery to die, then recharge it, and it looked normal again.  I also spoke with several friends who haven either iPads or iPhones, and they've all had this happen to them.  I checked my accessibility settings, and Zoom was already off.  So what is causing this problem for so many people, and what can we do to prevent it?  Please help.

  • Can I revert to the previous iOS version . iOS 7 is washed out, less intuitive and icons too big. Also seems sluggish., Can I revert to the previous iOS version . iOS 7 is washed out, less intuitive and icons too big. Also seems sluggish.

    This version of IOS 7 is frustrating - not as intuitive, sluggish and icons too big. Can I go back to the previous version?

    Downgrading the iOS version is not supported by Apple.

  • Icons too big on iphone

    The icons on my iphone are too big and I do not know how to get them back to their regular size.

    You have zoom on.  You can get back to regular size by going into settings and turn zoom off, or you can triple tap your screen, or you can double click the home button and move the bottom icons to the right and you'll find a zoom icon which you can touch to turn zoom off.

  • IPhone on-screen info suddenly too BIG to fit screen

    My iphone 5 went NUTS overnight.  Can't use it today.  Why?
    It worked flawlessly yesterday, even while charging.  Today, I tried to use it and it's impossible.  Everything I see on screen is now, suddenly, too big to fit on screen  --  icons, text, news, mail, games . . . EVERYthing!  I can't even find the keypad or telephone icon.  Nothing works at all.  I changed nothing.
    Any clues, anybody?

    Hi press the menu button 3 times If that doesn't work Try a Reboot press & hold  power button & menu button Hold both down until you see Apple Logo. Cheers Brian

  • PC - TV [Video too big for TV Screen.]

    Hi,
    I'm running Windows XP with an FX 5200 128 Video Card. I have an S-Video plug that turns in to a Yellow RCA wire and plugs in to my TV. I have my display properties set to "Clone".
    When I play a video using Windows Media Player, I can see it on my Computer Screen as well as my TV.
    However, the picture on my TV seems to be slightly cropped. It looks like I am missing the TOP and SIDE portions of the Video. The video fills the entire TV screen, but it looks like the picture is too big for the TV and I'm not seeing the edges.....
    Any suggestions,
    Thanks,
    Andrew.....

    make sure you're using the correct display drivers from nVidia Drivers
    then in the driver control panel for your TV settings, use the zoom controls to adjust how the picture looks on your TV

  • My iPad standard window is bit too big for the screen.

    My iPad screen unexpectedly got slightly too big for the display window. The size is bit too big. For example, the keyboard when it pops up does not fully display all tkey sans. Another example is the time/power remaining bar slips out of sight.  Did I accidentally change something?  Is this an issue with version of iOS that I am using (4.3.3)? (Note I'm not talking about resizing by using your fingers.)

    John,
    I am having the same problem.  The enlargement is not the same as the 3 finger tap or the 2 finger zoom.  The screen opens and then bumps to a slightly larger screen just enough to make it too big to see the outer edges.  You can put 3 fingers on the screen and move the screen to see the edges but you cannot get it to shrink to the correct size.  This is the second time this has happened to me.  I am also having some other issues.  Sometimes while in an app the app will close and I will be diverted to the home screen.  And sometimes when playing "with Friends games" the letters on the letterboard (not the key pad) disappear, will not move or are giant.  I plan on taking it back to the Apple store this week but I hate the idea of having to start over.

  • IMovie/iDVD produce DVDs that run off screen

    Hey everybody!
    I have a unique situation that I'm not sure how to handle. I've been working on a short film in iMovie 06 for a few months and now that it's time to go on and burn a DVD of it, I'm coming across some issues. I go through the pieces and have moved the movie to iDVD, but when I burn it, at least 1/5th of the bottom and right sides of the image run off the screen. The funny thing is, when I play it on my computer it is fine, it only runs off if I play it on a DVD player.
    Steps I've taken to try and fix it...
    - Run a "save as" and re-copied the imovie file.
    - Export directly from iMove and skip iDVD altogether
    - Run the "delete encoded assets in iDVD
    - Tried to just burn to ISO image and test from there
    - I've modified the Burn preferences, to have non-widescreen aspect ratio in the video options..
    I've tried as much as I thought I could and no dice. If anybody has ANY suggestion at all, I'd really appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance!
    -Alex

    In IM 6 preferences. I also have Automatically resize window to fit project. I wouldn't think that would matter, but who knows... I assume that nothing is outside the TV safe area. I know you checked to make sure the aspect ratio of your project is the same ratio as the DVD project. And yes the project should fit in the DVD window according to your settings. I am looking at one of my projects now in IM and IDVD, and it fits with nothing running off the edges, Ileen

  • Desktop icons too big

    After installation I find the icons on my desktop are just a bit larger then they were before.  Something must have changed in the configuration but I can't find the option to reduce them to a smaller size.  Anyone know where that option is?
    Thanks.

    Oh Dear God - thank you.  Sliding bar had them too big, they are now back to normal.  BTW, I hate that bottom Dock shelf and have never used it.  It was back with the upgrade to Lion but a quick Google search for Mac remove dock shelf and presto, back to normal.  Very nice.  Happy so far....
    Thanks again for the quick response.  Kudos to you!

  • Display unaccountably gets too big for the screen

    This has happened maybe a dozen times, and I don't know what I did to make it happen. Suddenly, the desktop display gets too large for the screen, and I have to scroll around to find the dock or the menu bar. Whatever else I'm working on, e-mail, etc., gets outsized, too. Does anyone know how to correct this? So far, restarting has worked, but that's a pretty time-consuming way to do it.

    Cindy,
    Hold down the CNTL key and scroll down with the mouse or trackpad. That should change it back to size. This is called screen zoom.
    Cheers
    You can also deactivate it in System Preferences for the Mouse and/or trackpad.

  • Video dl in iTunes too big for ipod screen?

    So I just downloaded the digital copy of Pineapple Express and I noticed that the video is 853 x 356 which is way too big. How do I get it down to 640 x 480.

    You could also use a third party application such as Handbrake to create an iPod compatible version. Check it out below. Hope this helps.

  • Ipad icons too big to see full screen after updating to IOS 8?

    I have an IPAD Retina (4th generation) and after I updated to IOS 8, it worked fine for 2 or 3 days. Yesterday my screen went too large to display the full screen (icons are also large). When I open an app, everything is large. I tried changing the font seize but no change. I rebooted my ipad a great number of times, no change. I've searched Google but I haven't seen anyone talking about this problem. Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Should it happen again double tap the screen with three fingers. Then go to settings> general> accessibility> zoom> off.
