On starting my iMac up all screens and icons are large

Hello all, when starting up m imac all icons including the log on screen are large and when I click onto safari the whole screen appears big, yet when my wife clicks onto her screen sign and her icons appear they are all correct, please help, am a complete duffer at computer jargon so please bear with me :-)

I think i had better explain this a bit better, hopefully, when I'm using Apple TV i.e using my films on my imac and transferring them through to my TV the iMac screen goes into large mode for want of a better word and will not go into the correct size when ive finished using Apple TV, my troubles all started when I downloaded a film onto my imac and it's gone bottom up since then.
regards
paul.

Problem with my iphone 4s. screen and icons shaking. ios 5.1. please help thanks apple.

good day apple. can you help me with my iphone 4s 5.1. SCREEN AND ICONS ARE SHAKING. what am going to do. thanks

okay. I tried the airplane mode and do not disturb on and off thing, resetting the network settings and all settings, restoring the iPhone using iTunes, draining phone using flashlight, reheating the phone using hair dryer and freezing the phone.. the freezing makes my wifi work again but it only last a couple of hours and I didn't want to try it anymore because I'm afraid it may cause another problem to my phone if I keep doing that.

Boot to the Recovery HD:
Restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the COMMAND and R keys until the menu screen appears. Alternatively, restart the computer and after the chime press and hold down the OPTION key until the boot manager screen appears. Select the Recovery HD and click on the downward pointing arrow button.

The 3 beeps during start-up are telling you that the RAM is bad.
If you can access the RAM modules, you may try taking them out and putting them back in, perhaps it's only bad contacts.
If that doesn't help, you'll need new RAM module(s).

Hello Flemcat,
After reviewing your post, it sounds like you are missing content from iTunes library. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

ITunes menu, preferences, store. Check off show iTunes in the cloud purchases. Return to your music library. Click the cloud icon to download it. You must be signed into iTunes under the store menu.

My iPod Touch icons are large and I cannot see all of them, touching the screen does not make them return to normal. It is charged and was updated over the weekend.

Thank you, I had forgotten about target mode. I was able to back up all of my files. I also copied some additional 50 GB of files of the disk as a stress test and the hard drive worked fine and quick (and because it was quicker than retrieving the same files from a network drive to my desktop).
I was hoping to also unpack the Applejack files on my desktop and put them back so I could run them in single user mode without running /etc/rc. However I haven't been able to get my Linux desktop to mount the iBook in Read-Write instead of Read-Only yet (I don't have access to another Mac at the moment).

Shaking screen and icons on iPhone 5s 8.1.1. iOS

Hi,
I bought second hand iPhone 5s two days before and today I have an issue... After I made iOS update to 8.1.1., screen and icons of my iPhone started to shake. I tried to reset it, but it doesn't work - even the Apple logo after turning on is shaking like crazy.
It might be related with App store too - it started, when I downloaded lot of different apps at the same time.
Have some ideas how to solve it? Thanks!

OK. Though you meant it was in edit/delete mode for the home screen icons. Now it makes sense.
Make an appointment at the genius bar. This is a hardware problem.
Or just get your money back.

Sorry, not quite accepted, I see that I missed something out...
This rapid flashing has only occured since I had BT Sport included in my package a few days back. Before then the light had been stable green with the occasional rapid flashing whilst I have been connected to the internet. That obviously does indicate data transfer.
However, when I was not connected to the internet, the light glowed a stable green all the time. Now it flashes rapidly even when I'm not connected - I'll add there that my BT Vision box remains on all the time.
Heat - The unit IS WARMER than it was - That may sound nit-picking but with my OCD's I "Touch-check" every item of electrical equipment every time I leave my house and, when I go to bed at night so I am very well used to "How warm something should be" so that in my mind, I "Feel Safe". At this time I don't "Feel Safe" with the increased temperature so have to switch it off overnight, or when I leave my house.
** The unit may of course be warmer due to extra data-transfer but then, why do I suddenly have extra, and constant data transfer when my computers are switched off and I'm not using the internet?
A thought about that I think could be that someone else is constantly accessing my connection though I've no idea how that could be so or if that ever could happen.
