my mac has randomly enlarged everything on screen, how do I restore it to normal?
I have tried just simply zooming out but it doesn't change the size of everything, I have also tried restarting the computer which hasn't worked either.

Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

When you're listening to a podcast, slide the current artwork up from the bottom, and you will reveal the control panel. Adjust the little switch in the middle so that it is pointing North, instead of Northwest. That will fix your problem.

My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

My calendar information is accurate in iCloud but has disappeared from my iphone. How do I restore my calendar information back onto my iphone?

On your iPhone go to Settings > iCloud.
Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. If you are provided a prompt to save any calendar events locally on the iPhone, decline.
Wait 5 minutes or so followed by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.

My iPod nano has a lock on the screen.How can I unlock and use my nano?

My iPod nano has a lock on the screen. How can I unlock and use my iPod?

Do you know there is the lock/unlock thing on the top or bottom right? If that doesn't work, hold down the middle circle and top portion of the circle button at the same time and hold until the screen goes black. Let go and soon an apple will appear. If you wait / press some buttons (i am not sure exactly how this part works) it will turn white and then the screen will appear again. You have all your music and everything still but the problem should be gone. This also works if your iPod ever freezes.

My husbands iPhone 5 has a shadow up the screen how do I clear it?

I Have a iPhone 5 on IOS 7.1.2 and it has developed a long shadow down the screen today on all screens but it is not as obvious on the home screen.
how can I clear it?

Hello there, Biddy.
The following Knowledge Base article offers up some great recommendations for troubleshooting issues with the display on your iOS device:
Get help with the screen on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you see lines, missing sections, discoloration, or poor image quality
Try to restart your device. If you can't restart, reset your device.
If restarting or resetting doesn’t fix the issue, restore your device.
If you still see the issue after you restore, contact Apple Support.
Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities.
Cheers,
Pedro.

When I make a mis-stroke screen images balloon up to fill the entire screen. how can I return them to normal?

I don't know what I do to make the image blow up. They don;t fill the entire screen, but fill up the normal-sized screen. This has happened on two sites. How can I get them back to normal.

Is this on Android or on the desktop? On Android, try double-tapping to zoom back out. On the desktop, to reset zoom, try Ctrl+0 (that's a zero).

Why does my Mac Pro randomly flash a blue screen to both monitors?

For a while now my Mac Pro (Early 2009) has this occasional issue. The system uses a pair of ViewSonic 22" monitors. At random times, both monitors just turn to a solid light blue color. After a brief time (1 to 5 seconds maybe) normal operation returns. The system is still working. Text typed on the keyboard during the 'blue' screen still shows in whatever application I'm in. Just the screen seems to be affected.
I leave the system running 24/7 with only occasional reboots (weeks or months apart). The screens I turn off at night. Most of the time this happens right after the system 'wakes' in the morning (temperature does not seem to be a factor). Although the system is doing this as I'm typing this. The blue screens show up than go away on their own. This repeats from one to ten times before it goes away. Once it is 'done' everything is normal until it happens again.
This 'issue' has been occurring since the original Snow Leopard. But, it also happened with Lion and now still happens with Mountain Lion (just upgraded to 10.8.2).
I am thinking this has something to do with the graphics controller (NVIDIA GeForce GT 120 512MB). But, I've never found any online references to this sort of behavior.
Any comments or suggestions will be appreciated.

The cable connections have (so far) solved this problem for my situation. Even though the monitor's DVI cable was firmly connected to the mini Display port connector, when I touched it the attached monitor would go 'blue' or lose its connection entirely. After disconnecting and reconnecting this junction the monitors would still take a hit on touching the connection. I also checked the connection of the mini Display port connection to the graphics board and could not push it in any further. However, after a second go-round I unplugged this connection to the board and reconnected it. I am certain it was fully inserted the first time. But, connection contacts can oxidize over time and sometimes it may just need to be disconnected and reconnected to 're-wipe' the connections. This effectively cleans them at the point of contact. So in my case I'm thinking it was the connection age that was an issue more than a 'loose' connection. Either way, I haven't had this issue for the past two weeks.

My new Mac has random characters on Firefox

Hi,
I have a water tank manual on the web in several languages. It renders correctly on Safari but is garbled on Firefox. I checked all the extra languages on Firefox but accented characters are still random.
Here's the English, Spanish, Portuguese and French links to the same page. Any ideas?

Your pages are not valid HTML, and Firefox is very rigid about sticking to standards
You cannot just insert Mac characters into a web page and expect them to display properly on other browsers or in other operating systems.
Instead, you must use standard HTML "&#n;" syntax to encode symbols and Greek characters.
For example, to show the symbol for "pi" you can't just type it on your keyboard, but the HTML for your page must use one of the following encodings:
Π - Upper case pi (Π)
π - Lower case pi (π)
Worse than that, you cannot count on all browsers showing characters of the form "&#n;" where n > 255 properly; for example many WIndows and UNIX type faces do not contain glyphs such as pi at all.
For further reference, here are the standard encodings for non-ASCII characters as used in HTML 4.0:

Verify that you're using an Intel Mac, click here, buy the DVD, install it, and run Software Update. If you're on a PowerPC Mac, you can't.

My MacBook Pro has a crack in its screen, how much would it cost to replace?

Hello. I am a MacBook Pro user. I purchased my MacBook Pro in late January. It is still under warranty according to Apple. The crack in the screen showed up in June, and I have no idea what happened. Does anyone know how much it would cost for my screen to be replaced?

Thomas is right, thats why they only now replace the whole clam shell. Meaning they will replace the whole top screen, glass and top cover that is all once piece.
This is also why it is a very expensive repair.
The the actual lcd is replaceable and generally runs around $150 but getting the glass off is another thing. It is glued to the frame that needs to be heated up to be taken off

If you still have the old computer, you should be able to connect the iPad, run iTunes and restore from a backup from a previous sync. Now that you have it updated, you will not need to do that again.

I just recently bought my friend's iMac 10,1 21.5in with all of his documents in it He lost his installer disks and it has OS X Snow Leopard. How can I restore it to factory settings? Or can I buy OS X Lion online and restore it to factory settings?

?

Sooner or later, you will need to have those install disks, so you or your friend need to call Apple, give them the serial number of the machine and ask for replacement disks which should be sent out for a nominal fee. Other than that, you could also buy Snow Leopard retail disk at various resellers or Apple store online for $29.
You will need that disk because: if you want to update to Lion and you purchase it at the app store, the license for it is not transferable, so if you ever sell that Mac, you are required to uninstall Lion and reinstall the original system (which you will need the disks for). The disks also include diagnostic/repair software.
So, it's best to have the disks; and, if you do purchase and install Lion, make sure you make a complete backup - bootable clone or Time Machine just in case.

My mac has randomly enlarged everything on screen, how do I restore it to normal?
