My kids seem to have changed my screen settings on my MacBook Pro so that I have to scroll left right and up and down to see the full screen... How do I reset to only show full screen?

Please help me restore the 'full screen' setting!!!

Thanks but I want to go back to the Wayne was before. I use to be able to see the full web page on the screen rather than have to scroll around in all directions. It is as if the screen is smaller than the information is it trying to display

Follow these instructions step by step to prepare a Mac for sale:
Step One - Back up your data:
       A. If you have any Virtual PCs shut them down. They cannot be in their "fast saved" state. They must be shut down from inside Windows.
       B. Clone to an external drive using using Carbon Copy Cloner.
          1. Open Carbon Copy Cloner.
          2. Select the Source volume from the Select a source drop down menu on the left side.
          3. Select the Destination volume from the Select a destination drop down menu on the right
              side.
          4. Click on the Clone button. If you are prompted about creating a clone of the Recovery HD be
              sure to opt for that.
               Destination means a freshly erased external backup drive. Source means the internal
               startup drive.
Step Two - Prepare the machine for the new buyer:
          1. De-authorize the computer in iTunes! De-authorize both iTunes and Audible accounts.
          2, Remove any Open Firmware passwords or Firmware passwords.
          3. Turn the brightness full up and volume nearly so.
          4. Turn off File Vault, if enabled.
          5. Disable iCloud, if enabled: See.What to do with iCloud before selling your computer
Step Three - Install a fresh OS:
     A. Snow Leopard and earlier versions of OS X
          1. Insert the original OS X install CD/DVD that came with your computer.
          2. Restart the computer while holding down the C key to boot from the CD/DVD.
          3. Select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu; repartition and reformat the internal hard drive.
              Optionally, click on the Security button and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          4. Install OS X.
          5. Upon completion DO NOT restart the computer.
          6. Shutdown the computer.
     B. Lion and Mountain Lion (if pre-installed on the computer at purchase*)
         Note: You will need an active Internet connection. I suggest using Ethernet if possible because
                   it is three times faster than wireless.
          1. Restart the computer while holding down the COMMAND and R keys until the Mac OS X
              Utilities window appears.
          2. Select Disk Utility from the Mac OS X Utilities window and click on the Continue button.
          3. After DU loads select your startup volume (usually Macintosh HD) from the left side list. Click
              on the Erase tab in the DU main window.
          4. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Optionally, click on the Security button
              and set the Zero Data option to one-pass.
          5. Click on the Erase button and wait until the process has completed.
          6. Quit DU and return to the Mac OS X Utilities window.
          7. Select Reinstall Lion/Mountain Lion and click on the Install button.
          8. Upon completion shutdown the computer.
*If your computer came with Lion or Mountain Lion pre-installed then you are entitled to transfer your license once. If you purchased Lion or Mountain Lion from the App Store then you cannot transfer your license to another party. In the case of the latter you should install the original version of OS X that came with your computer. You need to repartition the hard drive as well as reformat it; this will assure that the Recovery HD partition is removed. See Step Three above. You may verify these requirements by reviewing your OS X Software License.

How to scroll in a text box so you can see the full text

Hello treboh3,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
It's not very clear to me what the issue is that you're experiencing, but if you just want to scroll a text cursor through your text, then follow the directions below.
Revise text. Touch and hold the text to show the magnifying glass, then drag to position the insertion point.

I have installed Illustrator thru Cloud and then un-install the Illustrator. How can I re-install I?

Quit the Creative Cloud application and relaunch it again. When the CC app gets launched it scans through the installed applications and updates it's "Apps" tab accordingly. After this you can install Illustrator from the APPS tab.

If you can't remember your passcode, you'll have to restore it to remove the passcode, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1212.
If you're running iOS 7 with Fid My iPod enabled, in order to restore it you'll have to force it into recovery mode as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808, or erased it using Find My iPhone on icloud.com if your home button isn't working (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mmfc0ef36f).

ICloud - I want to have songs on my Mac and remove them from the cloud. How do I do this?

My iTunes match account has the maximum (25,000?) songs in it. It was created before I had the 25.168 songs that I now have in my iTunes local library.
I'd like to add songs to some playlists, but I cannot because "iCloud playlists can only contain songs from your iCloud music library."
How can I add these songs to my iCloud music library? Do I have to remove songs from iCloud before I upload new ones? If so, how do I do that without deleting the songs from my local machine?
I have plenty of songs that I don't need to exist on iCloud, but I still want them on my local machine.
Thanks

Okay then...
...no help. Thanks anyway.

Changing Power Button settings on a MacBook Pro Retina

Is there any way to change the power button on the MacBook Pro Retina to press twice to open power down window? I sometimes press power down button instead of delete, it's kind of annoying...

I have a MacBook Pro. Lately my volume button is grayed out and not working. Any solutions on how to fix this? Thanks.

I have an older MacBook Pro (circa 2009). Lately I've noticed my volume button is grayed out and I cannot adjust it. I've tried rebooting. Sometimes it becomes available to use and other times not. Any ideas on how to fix this? Thanks!

Reset the SMC. Check the Audio Midi Setup utility. If connected to an external display that has audio, that may have hijacked the audio.

i have an iphone 4sgd , and my child was playing with it , accidently the phone is blocked, how can i unblock it?

I am copying and pasting into a new, Pages document (from the word processing menu), and I paste in text that is longer than one page, it doesn't continue onto the next page. I can't see the end. How do I get it to show everything I paste in?

I want to copy an extensive amount of text from a web page into a Pages word processing document, but it seems to chop it up into text boxes, some of which aren't long enough to show all of the lines of text. I can't get hold of a bottom edge of the boxes to drag them to make them longer. I tried several times starting over with a new, blank page (and I made sure to choose from the Word Processing part of the dropdown menu, since I read about a similar problem that said not to use the layout menu. It keeps doing the same thing. What do I have to do to get long text pasted to multiple pages, instead of it trying to be all on one page?
In the long run, what I want is to create this as an ePub book. Is there a better way to go about this?

Hi Ellen,
Copying from web pages can include some weird formatting. Instead of Paste, use Paste and Match Style (Edit Menu).
Regards,
Ian.
