Screen has zoomed in and will not zoom out

Suddenly my screen has zoomed itself in to max zoom and the screen no longer responds to my touches to zoom it back out. I can manage to make the screen wiggle a little left or right, but not up or down. I tried to manually reset the phone (sleep/home button pressed for 10 seconds) and now the unlock screen is zoomed in so far I cannot access the 'slide to unlock' feature. This is a "4" and is about two weeks old.
How can I get my screen zoomed back out so I can at least unlock the phone to answer calls?

iphone frozen in a mega zoomed state?
Same thing happened to my iphone 4. I could not unlock or even see any portion of the screen except the last number in the time, and it was about the size of the full screen!
If the three finger double tap is not working for you like it did not work for me,
Try this...
1.)perform a hard reset--hold the home button and the sleep button (bottom and top buttons) until you see a silver apple.
2.)wait till the screen comes back to life and see if is working again, if not connect your iphone to your computer and itunes.
3.)right click on the name of the iphone and select "transfer purchases"
4.)once transfered click the restore button in itunes
5.)chose back up
6.)once it is restored and it asks to restore as new or restore from back up JUST DISCONNECT YOUR IPHONE by ejecting it normally
7.)Check to see if your screen is unfrozen and back to working use, this will show if you had a software problem or a content problem. If it doesn't work it is most likely a hardware problem and you need to take the iphone to a apple retailer for repair, I was told by a rep from apple it would be free.
8.)if it does work normally simply plug it back into itunes and click restore from back up.
This worked for me when no other solution worked, and it was fairly simple just took about 30 minutes to complete.
Good Luck!

  • IPhone home screen is zoomed in and will not zoom out. How do I get it back to normal?

    My iPhone 6 home screen is zoomed in and will not return to normal, How do I get it back to normal?

    If that did not work, then try triple-tapping the home button. If that does not work, then double-tap 3 fingers and hold on the screen, dragging to change the zoom level. If you need to move the screen around to be able to access something to get the device unlocked, then use 3 fingers to drag the screen around after trying to change the zoom level.

  • IPhone 5c's screen has gone black and will not come on.  When I plug it in it buzzes every 2 seconds.

    My iPhone 5c screen has gone completely black, i can't turn it on at all. I can't even reset the phone. However when i plug it into my laptop every couple of seconds it buzzes.
    Is there any way i can fix this? Or will i have to go into the Apple store and request for a new phone. I also haven't had the phone for a year yet

  • HT201210 screen is in a zoom mode and will not open with the slider

    Hi, my iphone 3gs screen has gone into a zoom mode and will not allow me to switch on with the slider, or decrease the zoom. When first activated the screen is normal for a second, then zooms in and becomes inoperable, if anyone has any ideas, would be much appreciated, cheers John.

    Double-tap the screen with three fingers.   Then go to Settings>General>Accessibility>Zoom and turn it off.

  • When I play games and click on it, a window comes up asking if I want to open in a new window or it zooms in and will not play. How can I solve this?

    When I play games and click on the screen, a message appears asking if I want to open in a new window or it just zooms in and will not continue. `how can I solve this please?

  • In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.

    In Safari, my iMac sometimes zooms way too much and will not zoom back.  I have a wireless mouse set to zoom in and out on double tap, but the excessive zooms happen with no taps.  A page zooms in so less than 1/4 of the page is visible and nothing I do will zoom back out, command minus doesn't do it, double tap on mouse does not zoom out, and the window will not scroll to show any of the rest of the page.  reloading the page does not help.  Loading a different page gives me a normal view again.

    If it were a tweaked setting, it should happen less randomly.  And there should be no settings that could override the zoom setting in unversal Access and the Mouse zoom preferences. 
    In addition, this only happens in Safari 6, and seems to happen more fredquently on some websites and not on others.  That suggests some sort of conflict in the site code with Safari and Apple wireless mouse code.  It does not happen in Mail, Word, Excel, Photoshop, Illustrator, or other software as far as I can tell.

    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.

    Repair
    When the recovery menu appears select Disk Utility. After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list.  In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive.  If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported then click on the Repair Permissions button. When the process is completed, then quit DU and return to the main menu. Select Restart from the Apple menu.
    Reinstall Mountain Lion or Mavericks

  • Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes

    Since downloading iOS 8 on my iPad 2 it has stopped working and will not connect to iTunes to do a restore.  I have tried to do a reset using the sleep button and home key and all I get is a white band across the screen and then it boots into the main system but it is just a series of white lines going across the screen, how can I do a restore on this?

    Hey dbwithers,
    Thanks for the question. I understand that you are experiencing issues with your iPad after attempting to update to iOS 8. To isolate these issues, let’s try placing your iPad in recovery mode and attempting a restore with iTunes:

  • What does - Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired.  mean?

    I spent the month of November on the phone with Apple support.on a crashing and permissions going wild situation.  I ended up getting a new HD for my iMac through and Apple Authorized service center.  All has been well until today when I woke the iMac up from sleep to have it crash - a white screen of death.  I rebooted and ran disk utilities from the HD partition and from the command R partition to have it say this -

    Don't worry about it, it's a normal system message that can be safely ignored.

  • HT1212 My Ipod is reading Ipod diabled connect to itunes but when i connect it tells me it has a passcode and will not let me do anything

    My ipod reads Ipod disabled connect to itunes. When i connect to itunes a box appears on the computor screen and will not access the ipod and says it has a passcode and will not let me try to enter a passcode into the ipod? What can I do?

    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.

  • My iphone 4 screen just went black and will not come back on, I can connect it and charge it and it makes noise but no screen?

    What does it mean when your screen just goes black and will not turn back on? I can connect it to computer to charge and it recognizes it and charges it but no picture on screen.

    Hey Krkirst10,
    Thanks for the question. It sounds like you may have a hardware issue with your device, however let's try to isolate as much as possible to determine if that is so. To isolate the issue, follow the regular troubleshooting steps for power issues:
    Will not turn on, will not turn on unless connected to power, or unexpected power off
    1. Verify that the Sleep/Wake button functions. If it does not function, inspect it for signs of damage. If the button is damaged or is not functioning when pressed, seek service.
    2. Check if a Liquid Contact Indicator (LCI) is activated or there are signs of corrosion.
    Learn about LCIs and corrosion.
    3. Connect the iPhone to the iPhone's USB power adapter and let it charge for at least ten minutes.
    4. After at least 30 minutes, if:
                   - The home screen appears: The iPhone should be working. Update to the latest version of iOS if necessary. Continue charging it until it is completely charged and you see this battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen. Then unplug the phone from power. If it immediately turns off, seek service.
                   - The low-battery image appears, even after the phone has charged for at least 20 minutes: See "iPhone displays the low-battery image and is unresponsive" symptom in this article.
                   - Something other than the Home screen or Low Battery image appears, continue with this article for further troubleshooting steps.
    5. If the iPhone did not turn on, reset it while connected to the iPhone USB power adapter.
                   - If the display turns on, go to step 4.
                   - If the display remains black, go to next step.
    6. Connect the iPhone to a computer and open iTunes. If iTunes recognizes the iPhone and indicates that it is in recovery mode, attempt to restore the iPhone. If the iPhone doesn't appear in iTunes or if you have difficulties in restoring the iPhone, see this article for further assistance.
    7. If restoring the iPhone resolved the issue, go to step 4. If restoring the iPhone did not solve the issue, seek service.
    My issue is still not resolved. What do I do next?
    Contact Apple Support.

  • Disk utility says "suid file has been modified and will not be repaired"?

    when i run disk utilities and repair permissions i get this message.... warning: SUID file "system/library/core services/remote management/ARDAgent.app/contents/MacOS/ARDAgent" has been modified and will not be repaired. what does this mean? i just upgraded to snow leopard and when i try and launch skype it crashes every time... before it even opens... i have installed the latest version and still the same.... can anyone please help me/

    it works on my laptop with snow leopard and my reg user name... but with my desktop when i try and launch it i get the skype user agreement screen... i answer "i agree"... then sometimes i get as far as my apple keychain and if i get that far i answer "always allow"... then it crashes?

  • My IBOOK has shut down, and will not start back up

    ok here is what has happened. yesterday my 1.2ghz g4 ibook started randomly shutting down. it would shut down and it would take a while of me pushing the power button to get it to start back up. when it would come on, it would switch between charging and not charged quite rapidly even though my power cord was in. now however, it has shut down and will not start up. the battery is fully charged. anyone have any ideas?

    I'm telling you. I have lost all faith with Apple. The old iBook I had, 800MHz G4, simply worked fine with no problem waking up or starting up, although it's just a bit slow. Now, I am super frustrated when it just couldn't wake up, either with the sleep light flashing or not, ie it's black screen initially and when I press the Power button once to get it back to life, it just stays black!!!
    So the only thing to do is to force power down by pressing the Power button for 10 seconds. Then I press the Power button once to start up, but it just stays black screen. I've left my iBook in that state for a day now, hoping that it will come back alife. But no! And the worst is, I had a similar problem starting up from wake just the day before. I called the Help Desk and they advised me step by step, from taking out the battery, to pressing OptionsCommand+PR, and OptionsCommand+OC, and doing Apple Hardware Test. The iBook seems to just work fine while on the phone with them. And barely 3 hours later, the thing just couldn't wake up. I've powered down and up many times now, and I've left it powering up, but still black screen till now (one day already).
    Finding out about resetting PMU on the support page, I've also tried that, but it still can't work.
    And you know what? I've sent this unit for repair 3 times already! First they say it's the HDD problem, so they changed that. Then when it still happened, they say it's the logic board problem, so they changed that for me. And again when it happened, they changed another logic board for me. So now, it's the fourth time, what do you think I should do? I don't think going back changing another logic board will help!
    I am in fact ****** off! If Macs are great, then why me? Why my iBook? I am telling this forum that we cannot accept a big corporation giving us sub-standard products. I've since read this forum carefully and found that many of us faced the same problem! We just cannot sit down idly and let the company get away with it. This is a warning to fellow users out there that face this same problem. Let us voice out our frustrations and make Apple give us some compensation for it. I say this because I depend on my laptop iBook for presentation to clients, and this happened exactly twice when I was in front of my clients. I don't mind losing face but can Apple compensate me for my loss of business and future business from my clients?
    Voice out strongly your unhappiness to Apple now!

    What does this message mean? "Warning: SUID file "System/Library/CoreServices/RemoteManagement/ARDAgent.app/Contents/MacOS/ARDAg ent" has been modified and will not be repaired"  I get this when I try to repair permissions in disk utility.

    It's an innocuous error you can ignore. It was introduced with previous updates for ARD and/or Java before Lion. These are messages, not errors. They will cause no harm, and they will be repeated each time you repair permissions.
