Screen enlarged and fuzzy

I tried to add another monitor to my Macbook Pro and it changed my screen. It's now enlarged and fuzzy. I just want it the way it was, thanks for your help.

At a guess, the external monitor you hooked up is limited to a lower resolution then your Macbook screen. This lower resolution is then enlarged and stretched to fill your Macbook's LCD.
Open up System Preferences. Click on Displays and tell us what the resolution is set to.

I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures. The screen enlarges and will not respond to my attempts to restore it.

I m having problems with my iPad 2 gestures. The screen enlarges and will not respond to my attempts to restore it. Is anyone else having this problem? What is causing it and what helps to restore normalcy?

Try double-tapping the screen with 3 fingers and see if that zooms it back out - and if it does set Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom 'off'. If it doesn't zoom you back then try triple-clicking the home button and see if that turns it off, and if it does you can then change what a triple-click does via Settings > General > Accessibility > Triple-Click Home.

Screen display enlarged and fuzzy

I connected to a digital projector for a powerpoint presentation yesterday. The computer crashed and since then the dialogue boxes, top function bar, desktop icons, dashboard etc are all enlarged an fuzzy. Help. How do I correct this?

It could be one of two thing.
First go into system preferences and check Displays. See what your resolution is. It should be 1280X800.
Second is to go into system preferences and check under Universal access and be sure zoom is turned off. One thing to watch for when you go into UA is to be sure enhance contrast didn't change. Some people have reported it changing when they go into UA even though they didn't do anything. It should be set to normal.

Screen enlarged and wont shrink

I did an update on my Ipad and since the screen as enlarged and wont shrink back down to the normal size. tried turning on/off but still not working? can anyone help please!

Double-tap three fingers on the screen to "un-zoom" it. If you don't want to accidentally zoom, go to Settings>General>Accessibility, and turn Zoom to OFF.

HT1688 Does your iPhone 4 freeze up and or screen enlarges and freezes.

iPhone 4 freezes up and changes screens, drops calls, won't hang up

HI!!!
I have an Iphone 4 for 3 years now on and when now I turned on the screen freeze. It doesn't have the screen cracked and it doesn't have any damages of any kind. I did the reset with the home and sleep button and doesn't work. I did the restore process with Itunes and still freeze. I don't find any other different solution to this problem. Is there any other different process that I can do? PLEASE let me know.

IPhone 5 screen enlarges and can't restore to regular size. Doesn't scroll or move

Something I'm doing while holding phone makes screen get really large and am unable to restore to regular size. Only cure is to turn off phone. Any ideas why this is occurring?

Hi there,
It sounds like you may have inadvertently enabled an accessibility option called Zoom. Take a look at the article below for more information about accessibility features on iOS and how to disable them.

HT204204 IOS 8 was downloaded onto my iPad and I am now experiencing significant delays, home page enlarges and then retracts, It takes forever for the system to respond, any suggestions? Is it possible to remove this OS?l

my 32 gb iPad recently received the IOS 8 software. The iPad is responding more slowly, it takes an unacceptable amount of time to find a site or enter a search on other sites. My home screen background changed, the home screen enlarges and then shrinks, any suggestions?

Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.
But no, you will not be able to downgrade iOS.

Full screen preview and slideshow are blurry / fuzzy

Hi folks-
I just upgraded from CS2 to CS4, in part to improve efficiency of selecting photos - I wanted the zoom and loupe features. Unfortunately a very basic function has been compromised and I'm hoping there's a solution: In both full-screen preview and slideshow the full-screen image is notably blurry. This is a problem for two reasons: 1. I can't judge pictures accurately by just flipping through them in full-screen mode (without zooming to 100% to see if they are well-focused). 2. I can't use Slideshow for, well, slideshows. I've had to resort to keeping another app (like Windows Picture Viewer) open just to be able to quickly flip through and evaluate images full-screen or to show slideshows.
I've tried setting all the options related to image quality (they mostly have to do with caching thumbnails and speeding 100% viewing); I've tried purging the cache files. Nothing helps.
Any ideas? Thanks!

It seems to me that there is something wrong with it.
I am trying Bridge CS4 as a viewer for my JPEG files.
I also noticed that the previews were fuzzy. I activated the high-quality previews as well as the option to generate the previews at screen size.
Here's what I noticed. I went to check out a specific photo that is quite sharp with a number of straight lines, angles, details, where it's very easy to detect a lack of sharpness. That photo immediately looked fuzzy to me, which didn't jive with my memory of it. I quickly opened it in other viewers, which displayed it as intended with all the expected sharpness.
So, I went through the settings to see where the problem could be and I immediately thought of checking the box to get software previews instead of hardware, restarted the app, purged the cache, tried again. There my photo had recovered its sharpness, or at least most of it. I thought I found the culprit, but not quite.
I went to browse other photos and found one in particular with a lot of fine detail (hair) and that photo also didn't display all the sharpness that it should have (I was still using software mode). The difference was very slight and to make sure of it it required A/B comparison between Bridge and PS, but there was a difference.
Now I tried the opposite. I went back to hardware rendering mode, restarted, purged the cache, tried again. That second photo looked alright in preview, but the previous photo looked fuzzy again.
So, it doesn't work the same way for each photo...
What's the main difference between the first photo, obviously fuzzy in hardware mode, and the second one, alright in hardware mode but slightly fuzzier in software? The ratio. The first one is a vertical photo, the second one is horizontal (close to square).
I quickly checked other vertical photos and they showed the same behavior...
Now staying in hardware mode, I noticed something else. When I preview the vertical photo and click on it, or double click, it quickly jumps, switching between 2 versions of the photo: the one displayed originally (fuzzy) and another one, with a very slightly different size, which is sharp. During that manipulation it also briefly displays "100%" at the top of the screen. It doesn't stick when you click and immediately switches back, so it looks like a glitch.
Now in software mode, I tried the same, this time you can click once on the photo (which is originally displayed *almost* sharp). When you click once, it displays "100%" but also displays a very slightly smaller version that is clearly fuzzy. Clicking again goes back to the other, less fuzzy one, but doesn't display "100%" this time.
Doing the same test on horizontal photos shows no change that I can see.
So, it seems to me that in the preview mode, Bridge has trouble displaying some photos (vertical ones?) in their actual resolution (100%)
and since there is a slight resizing going on, it brings fuzziness. This doesn't explain the very slight fuzziness seen on horizontal photos in software mode.
Now I'll mention, for those still awake, that I saw no fuzziness on the same vertical photos when I go to Review Mode with *hardware* rendering. Photos there are sharp. Now if I go to the review mode with software rendering enabled, vertical photos are not 100% sharp (akin to the small difference I mentioned earlier while in software mode), while they are sharper in preview.
To sum up, it seems that the only configuration that gives me consistently 100% sharp (=as they were meant to be after post-processing) photos no matter what their orientation, is when I stay in hardware rendering mode and use the Review Mode, instead of preview.
This all really smells like a bug.
For info, I am using Windows 7 and an ATI HD4850 card, and this only about processed JPEG files, not RAW files.
Perhaps the preview is really meant as a quick preview and not a tool to view final photos at 100% accuracy...

Photos saved to wallpaper are enlarged and don't fit the screen since the new update to iOS 7

Since the new update, when I try to save a new picture to my wallpaper and background, the photo is enlarged and does not fit the screen anymore. Please fix!!!!

A good point, but you'd better send your feedback directly to apple - hre, in a User-to-User Forum, Apple will probably not see it. Use one of the feedback forms: http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto_ios.html
I prevent the zooming by editing and cropping the photo to exactly the size I want in the Photos.app. In "Edit" mode I view it in Fulls creen, take a screenshot, and then set the screenshot as wallpaper.

My iPad has not been dropped or damaged at all. The screen is grey fuzzy and has coloured lines down the middle. iPad 3 also.

Basics from the manual are restart, reset, restore.
Try all of these.
If these fail, then:

IPad Screen problem green and fuzzy

I was happy with my Ipad going online and reading books for hours a day until recently when I turned it on! The screen is greenish and fuzzy like when you have a bad reception on a tv with an analog signal... please help! I have no access to a genius bar as I'm living in Dubai, I had mine shipped here from the online store.

Big thank you to you and BoboWoodyo. Anyone having a problem with their screen looking like an old analog tv who's rabbit ears needed to be adjusted (or worse) should try tapping the upper right edge with their hand a few times before doing anything else. Such an easy fix-who'd of thought? Obviously not me and just as obviously, it is most likely a hardware glitch. I wish I had found this solution at the beginning of my day and not the end. I have a well loved, well used 1st gen Ipad. I had tried all solutions found on this page plus others....hard reboot several times, reset thru itunes, different usb cord, etc. and nothing worked. I had an unreadable screen. My last resort was a clean factory reset found using clear, precise directions from ipadforums.net I know this was successful because of the on-screen itune messages I was getting but at the end of it all, I still could not read my ipad screen. I walked away and had a pity party . I decided to do one more search for a possible solution and happened upon this page. 3 taps was all it took - a beautiful, clear, readable screen again. No apps, no music, no photos, no books, no magazines but it works again so I'm just going to hold on to that happy thought for right now.

Screen is faulty and fuzzy.

Ive had my 4th gen nano for some time and in that time the screen has gone fuzzy a few times as in diagonal serrated lines across the screen making it difficult to see what Im doing. In the past simple manual resets would fix this, then I had to use in itunes restore and one time when that didnt work I accidently hit it on my bookcase and well... the screen cleared up!
Though this time it has happened again and no matter what I do I can not fix the screen.
When I do resets the apple logo comes up perfectly visable but the main menu is obscured so I dont know if this is a screen fault or not.

Many users, reporting the bleeding, have posted here, saying they took the unit back to an Apple store and had it replaced. Isn't that the kind of thing you'd do if you had a hardware problem? (If not the store, then contacting Apple directly for instructions on a repair.) Of course getting a replacement at some locations was a problem due to the short supplies. YMMV.
While many have had the bleeding problem, it seems most users have none. So it's not universal. My wife's new iPad, ordered within the first hour it was available from the web site, came without any problems. For others there were problems. I don't see a recall if most iPads don't bleed.
