Imac osx screen suddenly magnified - how to fix?

I downloaded Google Earth andf launched the application.  Immediately the screen display was hugely magnified with all icons no longer visible and the edges of all the windows no longer visible.  How can I restore the display to normal?

Lorne try this... Hold down the ctrl key and scroll the mouse backwards, if that does not work hold the cmd key and scroll the mouse

    EEmail screen is frozen how to fix

    Hi Reb
    I have 2 clients with the exact same problem. Since the iOS update 8.0 their mail apps launch run for a while then kick off to a black blank screen and crashes the mail app, this brings them back to their desktop.
    I have done everything from factory restores to changing their mail account types from IMAP/POP/Exchange MAPI this does not solve the problem. We have taken it in to our nearest iStore and they have stated that nothing can be done and that we should hope that the next iOS update fixes the issue. I believe its an OS bug crashing the iOS mail app. I hope APPLE team look into this as if there is no fix on the next update i am going to recommend my clients revert to an older version of iOS and you know what an ordeal that is and what all that requires.
    I will keep you posted on my findings but in the meantime i don't think anything can be done.
    Regards Rob

  • My ipod syncs and is fully charged  but will not run tried the reset still comes up with the language screen Any ideas how to fix?

    How to fix my nano so I can use

    If the unit has NEVER been jailbroke, first try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...  Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  It could take well over an hour!  Connect via cable to the computer that you use for sync.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow the on-screen directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."
    At the end of the basic Restore, you will be asked if you wish to sync the iPad/iPod.  As before, say "yes."  Note that that sync selection will disappear and the Restore will end if you do not respond within a reasonable time.  If that happens, only the apps that are part of the IOS will appear on your device.  Corrective action is simple -  choose manual "Sync" from the bottom right of iTunes.
    If you're unable to do the Restore, go into Recovery Mode per the instructions here.  You WILL lose all of your data (game scores, etc,) but, for the most part, you can redownload apps and music without being charged again.  Also, if you have IOS-7, read this.

  • Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap comes up when I try to veiw the log in screen on tumblr, how to fix this in FireFox 26.0?

    I can browse through tumblr just fine, but whenever I go to the login page it said:
    Secure Connection Failed. An error occurred during a connection to www.tumblr.com. Cannot communicate securely with peer: no common encryption algorithm(s). (Error code: ssl_error_no_cypher_overlap)
    I understand that tumblr has certification errors but that never happened to me before I until I upgraded to Firefox 26.0. I like FF and I don't want to use any other browser.
    How to fix this?

    Does it help if you either disable SSL3 or disable TLS as a test?
    security.tls.version.min = 1 and security.tls.version.max = 1 disables SSL3 and enables TLS 1.0
    security.tls.version.max = 0 and security.tls.version.max = 0 enables SSL3 and disables TLS 1.0
    Type <b>about:config</b> in the location (address) bar and press the <i>Enter</i> key to open the <i>about:config</i> page like you open a website by typing the URL in the location bar.
    *If you see a warning message then you can confirm that you want to access the about:config page.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/security.tls.version.*
    0 means SSL 3.0, 1 means TLS 1.0, 2 means TLS 1.1, etc.
    You can try to rename the cert8.db file in the Firefox profile folder to cert8.db.old or delete the cert8.db file to remove intermediate certificates that Firefox has stored.
    If that helped to solve the problem then you can remove the renamed cert8.db.old file.
    Otherwise you can rename (or copy) the cert8.db.old file to cert8.db to restore the previous intermediate certificates.
    Firefox will automatically store intermediate certificates when you visit websites that send such a certificate.
    If that didn't help then remove or rename secmod.db (secmod.db.old) as well.

  • My Imac desktop screen suddenly started to change colors and pattern appeared

    My Imac desktop screen started to "flip out", things were moving around and strange patterns filled everything on the screen. After a minute it stopped. Is this a warning sign of a hard drive meltdown?

    Contact Apple Service, iMac Service or Apple's Express Lane. Do note that if you have AppleCare's protection plan and you're within 50 miles (80 KM) of an Apple repair station, you're eligible for onsite repair since yours is a desktop machine.
    BTW, 10.6.1?

  • PS5 suddenly opens a folder full screen. why?  how to fix?

    This is making me crazy, and I know I saw a solution to this some months ago.  When I open a folder, it opens full screen....  I hate that.  I just want a smaller window, something that I can resize and move. 
    Why did this suddenly happen... and how can I prevent it in the future... and how do I FIX THIS?

    Please clarify:
    1.—Are you talking about the archaically ancient Photoshop 5 or Photoshop CS5, also known as Photoshop 12?
    2.— What exact version of either one?  (With all decimals after the dot in the version number.
    3.— Photoshop can in no way shape or form show folders; are you talking about the Open dialog box?  If so, the latter is provided by the OS.
    4.— What platform are you, Macintosh or Windows?
    5.- What exact version of the OS are you running?
    6.—Or are you perhaps referencing Bridge?  If so, there's a dedicated Bridge forum:

  • Macbook (Airbook) screen flickering/fading into a white screen?! How to fix it?

    Hi, I bought the computer in 2010 and have been using it without problems.
    Lately it happens more and more often, when I'm using the computer, without attaching to other external screens or other devices (no power adapt connected too), the screen will suddenly turn white little by little and fade out to a whole white screen. While it happens, the computer looks freeze and screen has horizontal white flashing lines. I noticed that it's not related to the battery, either the battery is full or not full, it would happen. Then I have to try to move the lid up and down, then the computer display will turn back and become normal, i don't need to restart the computer or totally close the lid.
    Looks like it may have connection problem between lid and the base? Or is it really the display problem? It may happen several times during the day if I keep using the laptop for a day. It's out of warranty, so will I have to give up on the laptop or have to pay an expensive fee to fix it or is it an easy thing to fix?
    Thanks so much and I'm eager to know the answer.

    If it were sudden, and not gradual, a stronger case for the problem being an electrical connection or cable issue. That the computer freezes may also be contraindicative of a display connection. I would more suspect the graphics subsystem on the main board and heating. You will need a more thorough diagnosis than can be achieved in this venue. I would suggest a visit to an Apple Store Genius Bar or other qualified Authorized Service facility.
    If it is the main board, the cost could approach or exceed  that of a replacement unit of the same. You may have to decide whether to repair with used parts, up to replacement with a new unit altogether.

  • Why did font get bigger suddenly, and how to fix?

    I found this thread but please tell me there is a better (read: proper) fix for this
    annoying problem!
    https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/963279
    1) I tried the about:config "fix" and it doesn't help much.
    2) I shouldn't have to mess with my system - Mozilla should resolve this issue.
    There aren't many things that would make me return to IE. This is definitely one of them!

    Does this affect the full Firefox window (user interface and browsing area) or only the browsing (web page) area?
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.

  • Why does my iMAC (mid2011) screen suddenly go black?

    Even though the machine is not being run hard or taxed, nor is the temp particularly high, the screen will suddenly go black.
    If I then send it 'to sleep' and press a key display acts normally until next time - there doesn't seem to be any pattern to this, nor does it happen under specific applications?
    Been happening on and off for a week now and unable to find any solution as
    Help/advice please-rather worrying!!

    Part of the many problems with the LG panel in it. The solution is to have the display replaced which is quite expensive. To find out what the options are take it in for a diagnostic test.

  • All black checkmarks suddenly unchecked, how to fix all?

    I customarily keep every song with black checkmark next to it. after updating iTunes to 6.0.2, suddenly every single song is un checked.
    sure i could fix this one by one ... but YIKES! there's gotta be a better way.
    Who knows what that is?
    g5   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

    No clue about the cause.
    You can check/uncheck all of them by command-clicking on one of the checkboxes.

  • Very loud fan upon starting imac. Does anyone know how to fix?

    My iMac has a VERY LOUD fan that turns on during start up and does not stoop.  I tried to shut down and start up again.  I also tried to unplug the machine overnight.  Still happening.
    Anyone have a solution?

    This is a part of the larger MacBook Pro connectivity issue. There are several related threads dealing with the MBP's networking problems. If your unit is suffering from this type of difficulty, good luck ... (or a long ethernet cable)
    (PS Everybody please make noise on this one so apple comes up with a solution.)
