The screen resolution on my iPhone has suddenly gone GIANT.

For soeme reason everything on my iPhone screen is now giant-sized. As a result I can only see a fraction of the screen, I can't answer calls becasue the green answer bar is not in the visible bit, although the phone rings. Does anyone know how to get it back to normal? I have done the usual power off with the red slide and it just comes back still giant.

It's OK folks - I just spotted the answer further down. If you have the same problem it's so simple - tapping the screen with three fingers makes it Zoom, and tapping again makes it go back to normal. Phew!

  • I have moved my applications button off my thing on the bottom of the screen and it disappeared where has it gone how do i get it back

    where has my applicayions button gone ?

    Greetings, mende1.
    I have never had an applications icon in my dock but seeing your post I thought I would look at it.   This is what happened.
    From Finder > sidebar > drag applications to right side of dock (next to wate bin).
    It would not accept it.
    From Finder > Applications > Applications icon > drag applications icon to right side of dock.   This time it was accepted but the initial applications icon of crossed pencils changed almost immediately to a blue folder with an Address book icon superimposed.   Clicking on it produced applications.
    Very odd!

  • The font in my e-mail has suddenly gone so small that I cannot read it,

    I have an email account with TalkTalk which has gone well for a few years. I get it through Firefox.
    Yesterday when I went into my mail the font was so tiny that I couldn't read it.
    I phoned Talktalk who said that it was a fault with Firefox and this was proved correct when I went to Internet Explorer and the font was normal.
    However I should like to keeop using Firefox.

    My iPhone has suddenly stopped working. It now says the battery is dying and to charge it. After charging it for over an hour, there is no change. The power won't come on, and I am left with a blank screen advising me to plug my phone into the charger.

    Try different USB Cable, try different Charger. Clean iPhone charging port with clean dry toothbrush. If still problem and you have Warranty or AppleCare, make Genius reservation and take iPhone to Apple for resolution. If no coverage, most likely it could be battery or charging port assembly that need replacement.

  • HT201272 The screen on my iphone has suddenly become very sensitive and mutes all the time?

    The screen on my iphone has suddenly become very sensitive and mutes ny calls all the time I know there was a bug fix but don't know how to find it?

    If your screen is flickering, you might have a hardware issue there. I would take Macie to the doctor and have her checked out.

  • My iPhone 4s has suddenly gone to a black screen!!

    my iPhone 4s has suddenly gone to a black screen and so i connected it to iTunes to restore it. the error message; the iPhone could not be restored. this device isn't eligible for the requested build. what do i do????

    Charge using the AC adaptor for at least 30 minutes, and if not on repeat the reset. 
    If still not responding, there is a hardware problem that needs evaluation by Apple or an Apple authorized service provider.

  • 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 dropped my iphone, it cracked (it alredy had some cracks in it) and the screen is black but sometimes has a background light.. When i plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not recognize it. What can I do?

    I dropped my iphone 4 pretty hard, it cracked (although it already had a few cracks in it) and now the screen is black but sometimes has a background light turn on and then off. Holding the home button and off button at the same time do not work. When I plug it in to charge or to the computer it vibrates every 10 seconds and itunes does not seem to recognize it. It gets really really hot when plugged in (which I don't think is normal).  icloud does not recognize it under "find my iphone" either. What could the problem be? I am wondering if dropping it dislodged something inside. if so, what did I dislodge and is it possible to fix this myself?
    Thanks

    Sounds like that drop was a critical one, my friend. I would make an appointment at your nearest Apple Retail Store, because you're going to need a replacement. Also as a side note: the reason that the charger is making the phone vibrate over and over is because there is a disconnect somewhere in the charge port of the phone, causing it to plug in and out over and over.

    Hi, vernon.  
    Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.  
    This sounds like you may have enabled the Zoom feature.  Here are the steps on how to disable this feature.

  • Is there any way to change the screen resolution in Front Row?

    Hi all,
    I've got a Mac Mini plugged in to my TV, and I want to be able to change the screen resolution depending on the content I'm watching (as some content is in 4:3 aspect ratio, some is in 16:9, and I'd prefer to have the picture filling the screen completely). Unfortunately, the TV doesn't have a "stretch" mode for making an 4:3 picture fit a 16:9 aspect ratio. If I know what I want to watch in advance, I can set the resolution accordingly using system prefs on the mac, but if I'm just sitting back choosing what to watch with the Apple Remote, it's annoying to have to leave front row, walk over to the computer and change resolution once I've decided what to watch, open system prefs, change resolution, re-launch Front Row and find what I wanted to watch again.
    So I was wondering if anyone had figured a way to allow the screen resolution to be switched from within the FrontRow UI. I've seen that people have written python based plug-ins such as PyeTV and Understudy that allow different types of content to be added to FrontRow, but I've not found any utility plug-ins such as what I'm looking for on the net (nor could I find SDK documentation on this API in the stuff that comes with XCode).
    I guess the other approach might be quick keys: has anyone had any success hooking up quick keys macros alongside front row in response to apple remote events? (seems too few events to be able to choose from, but I've never tried it, so I won't assume!) Or how about is there a way to trigger an AppleScript from within Front Row? And, of course, I'm very open to any other ideas you might have!
    Thanks very much in advance for any ideas on this.
