Super zoomed-up screen display

Hi everybody,
While listening to a web radio transmission, I fell asleep and must have pressed some wrong buttons on the keyboard. The screen is now super zoomed up. For instance, one single icon in the dock covers the entire screen!
When force quitting and restarting the computer, it opens up as normal and I see the standard screen for a second, but then it zooms up again right away to this super size.
What to do now?

Hi Tomas!
Go to System Preferences/Universal Access and disable Zoom!

  • My macbook pro's screen display has suddenly gone into a strange colour setting where everything appears in a kind of infrared colour palette an I can;t seem to change it back.  It's the same for all icon and websites, does anyone know how to restore?

    Wow!  I think I had this same issue just last night.
    I was cleaning my macbook pro retina on the outside.  Then I opened it up and was wiping dust off the monitor and I can't pinpoint exactly when, but the colors changed suddenly.  It looked super strange, it was like green halo's and it looked worse when looking at it at an angle.  Of course I took no pictures!!!  I was freaking out that my 2 grand laptop was busted and I somehow removed a protective film or something.
    But I digress...  The image looked very green and spacey, it was almost a neat effect.  After about 5 minutes it started to look a little more digital though.  There were straight lines of this halo effect on the edges and top.  After about 10 minutes it turned into a predominate issue with the blacks on screen.  I could open a web browser and it was unnoticable on a white background.  After about 15 minutes, you could only barely see the green cloud effect if you looked at the monitor from an extreme angle.  After about 20 minutes, it was completely back to normal, I almost feel paranoid like I see a halo or something strange.  But I believe that might be all in my head now.
    So yerp, lemme know what you guys figure out.

  • I wanted to keep my locked screen display with the time and date from turning off is that possible

    So I enjoy my locked screen display with my chosen picture because it has the time displayed nice and big and its a cool nightlight but the locked screen display/wallpaper/time with date always goes black after 13ish seconds of locking it is there no way to let the locked screen stay on while charging? because it is awesome if it could stay on as a nightlight also so i dont have to press the lock button to see what time because the normal display is ugly am I just being super picky or am I not the only one who agrees or maybe it does exist im just stupid please respond when you can also thanks for reading much appreciated.

    Again, there is NO WAY to do what you asked: display the time constantly.
    I have a clock app that displays the time constantly on my iPad. I use it as a bedside clock. Many clock apps have the ability to disable autolock just within that app. Whether there is one that lets you pick your own background, I don't know but I wouldn't be surprised if there were, based on the number of clock apps out there. While what I'm suggestion is not precisely what the OP asked (display the system lock screen), it seems it might be a possible workaround.

  • Pixelated enlarged screen - display issues related to external hard drive

    Hi.  I had an external hard drive plugged into my macbook.  I have a second monitor hooked up.  My screen is pixelated and enlarged (I have to scroll to see the whole desktop).  The icons are rearranged and very blurry. Everything is blurry and enlarged.  My files will open, but they are all blurry as well.  When I noticed these display issues, I realized the mac was not detecting the hard drive that was plugged into the usb port. I  unplugged it and then a LOT of folders with the hard drive name appeared on the desktop and then disappeared.  I know I may have misstepped by unplugging it, but what can I do now?  I have rebooted, shut down, checked zoom and screen resolution settings, and unplugged the monitor.  It's the same when I uplug the second monitor and just view my desktop on the mac.  Any ideas? Thank you in advance!

    There is a multitude of posts here addressing the dangers of using Mackeeper. But just look at this:

    While this particular problem may not have been caused by Mackeeper, I urge you to uninstall this piece of trash.

  • Since updating Iphone 4 the screen display is too large

    Since updating my Iphone 4 the screen display is too large to fit on the screen. For example the green battery graphic is so large half of it takes up the full screen.
    I pressed restore and restored the phone. I then restored my backup files and I still have the same problem.
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

    This is asked and answered many,many times and is covered in the manual ( Zoom feature).

  • Poor full screen display quality

    I am in a dual-display environment. One display I have set up as a full-screen display for images as I edit them in Aperture. They show up in a dismally poor quality; a grid-like low resolution. When I zoom in on them, the issue goes away. It's just when an image is displayed in its entirety. This is a 20" Cinema display. Note that there is no display quality issue with Photoshop. Thanks.

    Which picture is the refence picture?
    I have been noticing that the same image in different programes does look different, colour and tone.. Now I understand that as each programe reads the data differently. BUT with Aperture I have noticed this is the case within aperture and this is crazy.
    The photo is different in the loupe again different in the full frame version and yet again with in the grid. So when using the loupe is it possible to compare images enlarged from the grid and so on! and on. and the exported images look diferent again when viewed...
    Strange as it is all on one monitor!
    Or am I the only one to notice this?

  • My imac screen display is unfocussed, odd coloured and blurred (caused by rogue cate walking over keyboard).  I have no idea what settings have changed or what to check.  Any ideas?!

    My imac screen display is unfocussed, odd coloured and blurred (caused by rogue cate walking over keyboard).  I have no idea what settings have changed or what to check.  Any ideas?!

    It could be a number of keyboard shortcuts, here's a few.
    If the screen is zoomed,  hold CNTL and scroll down with mouse or trackpad.
    If screen looks like a negative,  hold down CNTL OPT CMD and click 8.
    Let us know how what other symptoms are shown.

  • My iPhone 5 screen display expands randomly

    My iPhone 5 screen display expands randomly & I have to turn it off to fix it.  Sometimes this is tricky to do as I can barely see the red bar to slide it to turn off.  Has anyone else had this problem?  It's really frustrating.

    Do you have the Accessibility Zoom feature activated?
    Zoom
    Many apps let you zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to expand webpage columns in Safari. There’s also a Zoom accessibility feature that lets you magnify the entire screen of any app you’re using. You can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.
    Turn Zoom on or off. Go to Settings > General > Accessibility > Zoom. Or, use the Accessibility Shortcut. See Accessibility Shortcut on page 123.
    Zoom in or out. Double-tap the screen with three fingers.

  • EMac desktop is larger than the screen / display ????? Help

    My oldest mac, an eMac 1 Ghz G4, 640 mb SDRAM, running 10.4.11 has had a screen display problem for months now. The graphics card is ATI Radeon 7500 (CRT - 1280 x 960 @ 72 Hz, 32 bit, no core image supported). It is over 7 years old.
    The desktop is larger than the screen, so it is a hassle to constantly have to move the desktop around.
    I'm not sure what it started after.
    I have tried changing all the display resolutions, colors and freq to no avail. I also re-calibrated the screen without change. Updates to 10.4 have not changed it.
    Is the graphics cards failing ?? There is no distortion or lines on the screen. The kids can still play games on it fine.
    ANY thoughts ??

    This is a real long shot, but is Zoom by chance turned on in the Universal system preference? If so, turn that off and see if that makes a difference.
    If not, you can try resetting PRAM (restart the system and hold down the p, r, command and option keys until the system gives its startup chime a second time) and see if that does anything useful.
    If neither of those possibilities help, I'll have one other suggestion, so post back and let us know.
    Regards.
