Operating system update made all icons and fonts on my screen smaller.  how to get back to original size?

I just upgraded my operating system on my Mac desktop.  All the icons and fonts are smaller and hard to read.  How do I get them back to pre upgrade size?

  • I updated my Iphoto recently and it is a disaster.  Can I get back to original I photo?

    My Iphoto is now unuseable after the latest update.  I have tried everything I know to get it to work.  I have worked with someone here but was unable to get the problem solved.  So, what I want to know now, is there a way to get back to the old version of Iphoto.  The brown version of the avatar not the blue.  Even though my brown version still shows when I click on it to open, the blue comes up.
    I have lost photos and everything.  Thank goodness for Carbonite but even some of those photos were corrupted.
    So, I just want to go back to my old version of Iphoto.
    Help.

    reinstall the old iPhoto from the original source and restore the backup of the latest iPhoto library for that version

  • I just upgraded to ios5 and all my contacts disappeared from my phone.  How to get back ?

    Are you saying that you had all your music safely stored in itunes and now it's all gone?  You might try getting back the itunes folder that contains all your music (you haven't told us what kind of computer you're using) from a computer backup, say from a day ago.  If using a mac, look in Time Machine, in the music folder for your account.

  • All Icons and Fonts have doubled in Size on my Iphone 3 GS

    I have a problem with my Iphone 3GS 32 GIG model. I do not know what I pressed but I have turned all the Icons and fonts to double in size and now I can't see the Settings Icon properly because of the inflated size of all the icons and fonts.

  • I recently updated my iphone 3GS and lost everything - does anyone know how to get my contacts back, notes, calender etc?

    I recently updated my iphone 3GS to iOS 5.0.1 software.  After this was completed everything had been wiped from phone, all photos, apps, contacts, notes, calender. emails, music and settings.  itunes wouldnt recognise my phone afterwards, but I have now been able to put back my photos, music and apps.  Does anyone know how I can get my contacts, calender and email back please (notes would be good too!!). I didnt have icloud.

    You should have been syncing all of this to your computer regularly.
    Just sync it back.

  • How to get back to original, new, empty system

    I bought a new macbook pro and my intention was to transfer all my main account from the old one to the new one. Stupidly, i skipped the setup assistant asking me to connect the firewire cable and all that because it told me that i could use migration assistant later. I chose the same user name as i had on the old machine. Now, when i want to use migration assistant to import the account from the old computer, it tells me there is already a user by that name and i have to chose another name since my main account on the new computer can't be deleted. i am thus a bit stuck because i don't want to have two accounts on the new computer and even less that the account i will most use, which is the one where i have imported all my system, would not be the main account. i guess therefore i need to restore the new mac to a 'fresh from factory status'. i tried reinstalling leopard but that did not work.
    how to i get back to the orginal setup assistant?

    Is that really the olny option I have considering where it's at right now?
    If you have files on your new mac you would like to save and assuming you have another mac handy (the one you are going to migrate stuff from) you could connect the two by firewire, restart the new one holding down the T key and then pull the files in question across to the other one prior to the erase and install. If you save them in the user folder on your other mac they will come when you migrate that user.
    You said up front that you want to get back to the original system, but none of the detail you have given hints why. Do you really need to do all that or would it be simpler just to change the name of the present admin account on your new computer and then migrate your old user across? There is actually no reason not to have more than one user on your system but, if you wanted, once your old user is migrated and given admin rights, you could delete the other user.

  • I just loaded a new FF version. I lost all my customization. It used to open with the most popular 9 sites visited in the middle of the screen. How to get back?

    Everytime this happens, I loose all my customization and spend HOURS trying to get it back.
    Most important is the 9 most active pages showing on the screen. I've just spent two hours looking for how to get that back and can't find it.

    YOur data maybe gone, unless you did a backup of your phone, which doesn't sound like you did.

  • Did system update--lost all texts and BBM texts

    The latest update went smoothly enough, but when my Q10 woke up again, and I reconnected to my email accounts, my whole history of texts and BBM messages were gone! Did this happen to others?
    Can anything be done?? Thanks for any help.

    I was able to help some other users restore a previous backup to regain their lost SMS history.
    I don't know why yours did not restore. Restoring the backup will always result in a need to update passwords as that is simply a security measure and to reinitiate your link to that account. Nothing uncommon there.
    I wish I could help you with the lost SMS, but it sounds like you have done exactly what I would have advised you.

  • All icons and pictures are negative like.  How do I fix?

    How do I fix iPad when all my pictures And icons look like negatives?  Colors that do show are opposites ex. Green is orange .

    That is one of the accessibility functions ('White On Black' or 'Invert Colours' depending upon the iOS version). Try triple-clicking the home button and see if that changes it back, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.

  • The internet updated without me knowing and now i can not pull tabs down to make a new window or change the order of tabs and i can't find out how to get back

    my mozilla updated without acknowledging me first. I open it and I come to find out I can not move the tabs over to the right or the left one spot or two spots they just won't move unless I close them. I use to be able to move there anywhere i wanted or pull down and it became it's own window. Now I have to right click to make it a new window and then I can't drag and drop other tabs into it to make a window with several tabs. How do I get this back to the way it was before?

    In case one of your extensions is involved, could you test the page in Firefox's Safe Mode? That's a standard diagnostic tool to deactivate extensions and some advanced features of Firefox. More info: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues using Safe Mode]].
    You can restart Firefox in Safe Mode using
    Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled ''(Flash and other plugins still run)''
    In the dialog, click "Start in Safe Mode" (''not'' Reset)
    Any difference?
    ''Note: on the new menu, Help is the ? icon toward the bottom.''

  • I accidentally clicked on "full page" and I hate it and now I don't know how to get back to where I can see all the tabs all the time. Help, Please!!!

    I was trying to what apple said about Transfering my Itunes to my external drve and I do everying but then in dose not show consolidate my Itunes on 9.0
    I tryed to uninstall itunes and redownload 8.0.0 and then when I go to consolidate Itunes say it can read my files. Is there a way to go back to 8.0.0
    I did not go to apple and ask for updates to 9.0 it just kept bugging me to update so I did. Can someone tell me what I need to do to go back to 8.0.0 Please help. My hard drive is so backed up. I have no more room. Please help!

    agreed, i dont need all the bells & whistles that 9 apparently offers, if it ever worked, i see many dont like it, apple has blown all the money they put into ads by not supporting unhappy users, trying to find good copy of 8.2 on filehippo, it is there, but i dont know how to use their service, lets see if they respond to my email before apple, lol
