My login screen is now zoomed in and I cannot change it.

My login screen has all of a sudden become zoomed in. But once I'm logged in, the screen size/zoom is back to normal. What is going on here?

Ok, solved it by resetting the PRAM (ALT+CMD+P+R while booting, you can find detailed steps anywhere on the interwebs)
I believe the resolution changed, so it wasn't a "zoom" issue afterall.
When you are in your startup/logon screen (the screen where you type your password) try pressing ALT+CMD+F5 (you might have to press Fn too to get to F5 instead of the keyboard-light button). You'll be presented with all sorts of accessibility options, one of the first ones is the zoom function. But it doesn't seem active, because the zoom-slider is already on its lowest value.
Anyway, clearing the PRAM should fix your issue.

Reinstall OS X:
Reinstall OS X without erasing the drive
Do the following:
1. Repair the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu. 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 installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior and/or Tech Tool Pro to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Reinstall Snow Leopard
If the drive is OK then quit DU and return to the installer. Proceed with reinstalling OS X. Note that the Snow Leopard installer will not erase your drive or disturb your files. After installing a fresh copy of OS X the installer will move your Home folder, third-party applications, support items, and network preferences into the newly installed system.

Hi Emma,
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
I understand that your Thunderbolt display is just showing a black screen when you boot your computer. The following article should be of help in troubleshooting your display.

Recently, iTunes upgraded. My 7th generation iPod is now not recognized and I cannot sync. The troubleshooting talks about being visible in Windows (iPod is invisible) No other options and nothing about windows 8

I have had similar issues with mine, happens mainly if I transfer songs and then decide to disconnect my iPod to listen to them with my IEMs (I use Interenet Explorer in my case and it is not neccessarely up when this happens, so I seriously doubt it is an issue conencted to the web browser). I have no patience for this so my trick is I try to eject it from iTunes, if that does not work, then I bring Windows explorer up, right mouse click on the iPod mounted drive and select Eject. It gives me the same warning but there is a third button selection called Continue. When I choose that it just disconnets the drive anyway and the iPod is finally disconnected. It seems to work each and every time I do it so this solution is fine for me. Would be intersting to see what the real root cause of this is because I started getting this problem with the newer iTunes 11.

Try clearing Safari's cache : Settings > Safari > Clear Cache (and Clear History)
If that doesn't work then try closing Safari completely and then re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Safari 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Safari app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
A third option is a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

ICloud account email is grayed out and I cannot change it. How can I change it?

My iCloud account is grayed out on my iPad and iPhone and I cannot change it. It was previoudly set up as my email account that I no longer have access to. I was apple to change my Apple ID, but not the iCloud account. How can I change it?

If your new ID was changed (renamed) from your old ID rather than being an entirely new ID, recreate it by going to https//appleid.apple.com, click Manage my Apple ID and sign in with your current iCloud ID. Tap edit next to the primary email account, tap Edit, change it back to your old email address and save the change. Then edit the name of the account to change it back to your old email address. You can now use your current password to turn off Find My iPhone on your device, even though it prompts you for the password for your old account ID. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account and choose Delete from My iDevice when prompted (your iCloud data will still be in iCloud). Next, go back to https//appleid.apple.com and change your primary email address and iCloud ID name back to the way it was. Now you can go to Settings>iCloud and sign in with your current iCloud ID and password.

My screen is now a black and white negative image - can I reverse it to col

After 3 small children were near my computer - it was turned on , the screen is now black and white like a negative image, when starting up the initial checks of firewall etc are displayed on the normal colour screen then as soon as the start up is over it goes to Black and white. I have been through the settings on the computer but can not find any changes that have occured - I suspect the 3 toddlers have pressed everything at once
Can anyone tell me how I can get the colour back?

Open the Universal Access pane of System Preferences
and turn off the White on Black option under Seeing,
as well as any other options which may have been
inadvertently turned on or changed, such as the

Ipad2 screen is multi-colored on all screens and i cannot change it

all the screens of my ipad 2 have a kelidascope look on background, apps safari. All screens seems to be effected by this irrdensent look. otherwise it seems to be working fine. Please advise

You should be able to log out of the current one by tapping it on the right-hand side of Settings > Store, and you can then log in with the new one. Any apps that you downloaded with the old id will only be able to get updates via that id - apps are tied to the id that bought/downloaded them, not to the device that they are on, and they cannot be transferred to a different account.

My iPad mini screen keeps turning upside down and I cannot fix it, please help!

When my iPad mini is in the upright position, the screen turns upside down and I have not touched the rotation switch, it just does this on its own and I cannot get it to go back into the right position. Also, it will not let me view it in the longside "landscape" mode. Can someone please help me fix this and tell me what is going on, why is it doing this? I have only had it for a few months and it is very upsetting to see it doing strange things like this without my prompting. Please help! Thank you so much!

I'm the administrator and I cannot change some options in keychain

I am the administrator of my computer and there are some options that I cannot change (they are a lighter text and the check mark box is filled in with grey) on system preferences (with some panes like the Accounts pane and others) and with keychain (under the 'edit' tab and the 'file' tab.) For instance with System Preferences under the Accounts pane, when it says "Allow this user to administer this computer" (with my user selected and after I have entered in my login password of-course) the box is selected, but the text is a light grey and I am unable to change the selection (not that I want to.)
Now with keychain the text that says "Make Keychain Login 'Default'" under the file tab is a light grey and same with the text that says "Export Items..," even when I have unlocked the keychain. When I have selected the System item in the Keychain menu, I am unable to change the option "Change Settings for Keychain 'System'" and "Change Password for keychain 'System'" under the edit tab. Furthermore under the file tab, I am unable to change the option "Delete Keychain 'System'" and "Make Keychain 'System' Default." Finally under the Keychain Access tab itself I am unable to view the item that says "Show All." These are all with the keychain unlocked, and there are also many other options that I am not able to change. Can someone help me? Is there a hacker or a malicious program on my computer? Please help

I believe that this is all normal behavior. I checked and my System Preferences and Keychain Access work the same way as yours. You should not worry about it.

My login screen is now zoomed in and I cannot change it.
