Reduce icon and cursor size

My cat sat on the keyboard of my mac book air (nice and warm) and now my cursor is the size of my hand and I can't make anything out to navigate to a screen to resolve it. Is there a number combination of keys that I can press to restore to normal size? Thank you

Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
To restore the cursor size, open System Preferences > Accesibility > Mouse & Trackpad, and reduce the cursor size. In some cases, you can see "Universal Access" instead of "Accesibility", so select Universal Access if you don't see Accesibility option

How to increase toolbar icon and text size on new pc

I just purchased a new laptop and with the new screen resolution, the icons and text on the toolbars, menu and address bar are small.
I was wondering it there was a way to increase the size of all these things?
I tried changing the screen resolution on the laptop but any setting other than the native display setting causes everything to be fuzzy
Any help is greatly appreciated
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I installed firefox on new laptop

Hello Tony.
I see that you are using Windows 7. Windows 7 (and other versions of Windows) have accessibility tools that will let you change the scale of the image. This will have an effect on all applications, not just Firefox. Contact Microsoft for help on that.
In any case, you may have luck if you search for a specially made theme: [http://addons.mozilla.org/ addons.mozilla.org]. I doubt it will look pretty though.

Grid of small lines around icons and cursor?

As I'm not sure if this is an OS fault or display fault I have also posted this in the OS forum...
Recently I'm getting a "grid" of small lines, about 1 inch square, around all desktop icons and around the cursor. It doesn't appear on any open windows, except around where the cursor is. I have run "applejack" to repair the disk and permissions etc.
If I shut the computer down for a while and then restart, sometimes they go away, sometimes not. When I shut down, as soon as the icons disappear, so do the lines so it may not be a display problem, but any suggestions would be appreciated.

Gary, a few months ago my G5 got the 'intermittent shut down' problem, then after a couple of months, it just died. It had been going on before the warranty ran out, but stupidly I didn't pursue it.. until too late. Thankfully, after spending rather too long being misinformed by a guy in India who couldn't understand the nuances of my argument (lol), Apple Ireland agreed to repair it in the interests of good customer relations etc. I was told both that my machine WAS then WASN'T within the range of serial numbers covered by the exetended warranty covering that known fault.
And now it's the same again; it's a known fault - proven by the fact there's an extended warranty on a range of serial numbers (not bloody mine again).
I'm going to talk to Apple tomorrow and I'd like to know how, given this fault is an economic write-off (£600 to repair against £800 for a new machine!!)they expect to keep me buying Mac, particularly when I KNOW they acknowledge the fault.
Our teenager's Packard Bell, bought in 2002 is looking like a strong contender to outlive BOTH our 2005 Macs at this rate. Not good enough.
Glad to hear yours was still under warranty. You'd be a bit annoyed if it wasn't!

Why are my Illustrator CC 2014 text, icon, and panel sizes too big? It's treating me like an old person.

The photo on the left is Illustrator CC 2014 and the one on the right is Illustrator CC. As you can see the icons and text on the left are enlarged, resulting in less space for the document. I couldn't see anything in preferences about this. Does anyone know how I can fix this? None of my other CC 2014 apps did this... Is it a computer setting or a CC setting?

I don't have CC so I can't test this, but apparently since 17.1 on Windows the illustrator UI scales to 150 or 200% depending on your OS scaling settings. it might have something to do with it:

Is the iPad icon and font size universally adjustable?

Simple question - I have a relative that would love an iPad, but one of the problems with some of these devices (iPhone, Kindle) is seeing what's on the screen! Is the font size and are the icon sizes adjustable?

There are the accessibility features which include:
Zoom - which enlarges the view on three finger tap
Large Text - which can make the text larger in Contacts, Mail, and Notes.

Finder window icon and font size

Is there anyway to increase the icon & font sizes that are located in the left column? I could not find any settings that will allow me to do so. I have already increased the icon & font sizes in the main Finder window which had no effect on the sizes in the left column.
I have a Macbook Pro
Resolution - 1280x800

If you're referring to the sidebar then the answer is, "No."

Photoshop icons and menu sizes too small

How do I make CS5 Photoshop in Windows 8 useable? I cannot make the menu font and icons (like cropping tool) large enough to read and use. I had our IT people fix the desktop icons (resolution, etc), but there appears to be no way to make Photoshop menues larger. Even when I open Photoshop the start up blue icon is small. It is like some miniture program!

You have to live with it. Only PS CC will support high DPI displays in a future update.

How to reduce the size of icons and descriptions of pallets?

Hi!
1. The "Control bar" is still something missing and to display the location of the same functions are different depending on the selected tool.
Therefore, the tools will I need to keep an eye on pallets or icons. But description of the pallets is too great for me, takes place and I can not see as many pallets as I need.
2. The idea to create multiple workspace and its continuous change is not good for me.
When I work I prefer to have the tools at its one location, then I can rely on My reflexes when choosing a tool, and not constantly look where this time or constantly switch the workspace.
3. How to reduce the size of icons and descriptions of pallets I, then he could fit more pallets in one column?
Best Regards!

Hi Monika,
Nice to read you again. Thank you for your response.
Yes, I read. It does not solve the problem about which I write. I guess that solves your opinion? Please hint.

You can return it if it's within 14 days of purchase and get one with greater capacity. If it is not, then no. Sell it and purchase one with a greater capacity.

Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

IPhone 5 - The icons and letters enlarge and I can't get them to original size. I restarted the phone but it didn't work.

Sounds like Zoom is enabled. Here's what to do.
Use "3" fingers and double tap on the screen to zoom out. then just go to Settings/General/Accessibility and turn Zoom off

Even after turning ON Reduce motion the icons and the windows and the apps zoom motion in and out is still giving me a lot of head ache and dizziness and motion sickness... Please fix it!!

A simple double-tap with three fingers instantly zooms in and out 200% and you can double-tap and drag three fingers to dynamically adjust the magnification between 100% and 500%.
