Two days ago I downloaded an apple update, my screen then became super sized, a page won't fit within the screen. How do I get text back to the size it was before the update? Thanks,SM

After a recent update my screen became super sized, how do I get it back to normal size?

Good call, except that only turns on/off the Universal Access Preferences and not the Zoom using scroll wheel in the Mouse Preference.

  • HT201250 I am very frustrated. New to iMac products. Just bought a 27" iMac two days ago. Received no manual, no booklet with ID registration number, etc. Need help migrating PC to iMac. How do I get in touch?

    Need help migrating pc to imac. Do not have manual. Trying to get infornation online, but, cannot get an answer.
    I have downloaded pc migration assistant to pc windows 8 pro. Was able to get imac to finally give me "the number"
    Did the same with pc received number once, not same as imac. Pop up window with info dissappers and cannot recover
    What am I doing wrong? Paid extra for extended support package and it took hours to finally get it registered and approved.
    However, no help. Yikes, I feel like a make another great mistake!

    First: If you purchased AppleCare you should call back at 1-800-APL-CARE and ask for further assistance.  You'll want to learn how to retrieve your operating system version and your IMac's serial number as you'll need these for when you call AppleCare:
    Click on the Black Apple in the top left hand corner of your Imac's physical monitor
    Click on About this Mac from the drop down menu
    Below the silver Apple and "OS X" it will say "Version 10.x.x"  (If this number is not 10.8.4, run Software Update by hitting the button marked "Software Update")
    Click on this number twice in a row.  This is your machine's serial number.  (zeros can be used; the letter "O" is never used).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1349 for details how to find serial numbers on Apple products
    If you have an Apple ID (you can create one at appleid.apple.com), you can login to supportprofile.apple.com, register an Apple product, and sign up for VoicePass, which, if you give your product a name e.g. Maria's Imac, you can speak that over the phone and skip having to give the serial number when you call. 
    If you have an Apple ID, you can also call AppleCare and ask them to activate VoicePass.
    This is the link for your tech specs: http://support.apple.com/kb/SP667
    This is the link for your quick start guide: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_late2012_quickstart.pdf
    This is the link for important product information: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/imac_late2012_quickstart.pdf
    Second: this is an educated guess: Your new Imac and your PC need to be either on the same wifi network or you need to connect them physically with an Ethernet cable (available at Radio Shack, Wal Mart, etc).  My guess is that they are not, and so your IMac and PC are not talking to each other.  That might be why you are seeing a different code on the PC.
    Time Machine would not be relevant to your issue.  http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796 is the link to relevant instructions, however it left out some housekeeping you should do on your Imac before you begin a migration
    Run Software Update on the IMac to confirm that the latest updates are installed.
    On the IMac, make sure that you have the latest versions of any third-party software.
    On the source Mac, open System Preferences, click Sharing, and make sure there is a name in the Computer Name field.
    Do not let either computer go to sleep while you are attempting to migrate. To disable sleep on the IMac
    Choose System Preferences from the Apple () menu.
    Choose Energy Saver from the View menu.
    Adjust the "Computer sleep:" slider to Never. (Change this back after the migration is done).
    You can adjust "Display Sleep" to a few minutes - this won't affect the migration
    Uncheck the box if checked next to "Put Hard Disks to sleep when possible"
    I don't know Windows 8 but this link looks promising as to how to disable sleep: http://techmell.net/how-to/disable-enable-sleep-mode-hibernate-windows-8/
    Once you've done this, either connect both Mac and PC to the same wifi network and surf the web with each to confirm that connection is working - or connect them to each other with an Ethernet cable. 
    Then relaunch Migration Assistant on your Imac and your PC, and follow the instructions in http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4796 starting with your IMac, or call AppleCare back. 
    Understand that if you have further issues, you'll need to help AppleCare help you by:
    walking them through the steps you've taken in Migration Assistant
    letting them guide you as they isolate the issue to either:
    The Imac's software
    The IMac's hardware
    The PC's software
    The PC's hardware
    Firewall settings (maybe - especially if 3rd party firewalls are installed)
    The wifi connection, if used
    The ethernet connection, if used
    I think the issue is likely what I guessed, or it's a software issue.
    To learn more about your new Mac, I recommend this link: http://www.apple.com/support/imac/intel/
    And this book: http://www.amazon.com/books/dp/0789749890
    I am a technical support professional who troubleshoots Macs all day long.  I do this for a living.  The book above is the most accurate, and easy to understand book I've seen with respect to using Mountain Lion and its various applications.  It's for a MacBook but the focus is on the software which is why I recommend it.
    Don't feel like you have to rush to upgrade to OS X Mavericks.  In fact, you should always confirm both all the hardware and software you use is compatible with any new operating system before you upgrade.  And ask yourself: "why do I need it now?"  Because it's new is not a good answer.
    In the future, specifying any troubleshooting others have done will help those on these boards help you.  Also, don't let a specific issue lead you to assume you've made an all-encompassing mistake.  It's just one issue, and it's resolvable.
    And everyone else: giving a dozen recommendations for reading will only leave the petitioner bewildered.  Start with three.  And try responding with a hypothesis as to what's causing the primary problem!

    Apps and music are forever tied to the Apple ID under which they were purchased.  If you don't want to continue to get that message, delete the apps and purchase them again with your new Apple ID.

  • Updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed.  How can I get them back?

    I just updated to iOS 7, but only the first page of my app buttons stayed.  How can I get them back?  And how do I show the Apple Music and Weather app- I can find them in spotlight, but there isn't an app button for them.

    Are you sure you don't see them when you swipe to the left?
    I actually had only one icon showing on the second page .... and then all of the rest showed up on pages 3, 4, etc.
    The Apple Music app is a red box with a white note
    Weather app is a blue box with a white cloud and yellow sun
    Did you try resetting or restarting the device?

    hey guys, iv recently changed over from the 4 to the 5 and i have lost my 5. Luckily a few days ago i downloaded find my iPhone but when i log in it tracks my old phone and not the new one. I have logged in so i dont know why it wont connect. I'm really upset about lossing it, if anyone one knows how to fix the problem or another way of tracking my phone that would be great.

    The iphone 5 can only be located if connected to a data or mobile network. If in Airplane mode or switched off, it can't be found.

    i accidentally tapped my iPhone 6 and everything got huge on my screen. now i can't even log onto my phone because everything is so big on the screen. how do i get it back to normal view, so i can log on?

    i googled for answer to resolve the zoom problem.  all the anwers just told you to read links but didn't tell how to fix the screem back to normal then it can be able to go to Setting to fix the zoom funciton.  HOWEVER, I accidentally found the solution myself by using a fingers or more
    to draw circles clockwise on the screen....it will reset it normally.  I spent hours trying to go diagonally, compressively still didn't work.

  • Everything on the screen is huge.  Therefor I can not get calls or call out etc. How do I get it back to normal size so it will work?

    My screen now has everything on it huge.  Therefore I can not use the phone to answer calls, make calls, etc How do I get it back to normal size?

    Hi pizzamanvin,
    Sounds like you have Zoom on. Double tap three fingers on the screen to put it back to normal size. You can turn off Zoom altogether by going to Settings>General>Accessibility, and turn off Zoom.

  • After updating my i phone to the latest ios 7.0 software the apps I purchased are still accessible through the app store but not on the home screen how do i get them back

    After updating my iphone 4s to the latest ios version 7 the apps that i purchased are no longer on the home screen and can only be found on the app store.. how can i get them back on the home screen? please help

    You can move apps around in iOS 7 the same as iOS 6. Press an app icon until you see it wiggle; then drag it to where ever you want it to be. Drag it onto another app to create a folder with the two apps. Tap the Home button to stop the wiggle.

  • The option to change my current page to my start page under TOOLS/OPTIONS is gone. How do I get it back?

    I updated Adobe and Media PLayer, making sure I didn't allow any of the optional add-on tool bars and anti -virus apps. Then after that YAHOO became my start page. I went to change it back under TOOLS/OPTIONS, and the entire option for making the current page my home page is wiped out, not there, doesn't exist. Where did it go and how do I get it back? I run a sales business online and need to hit the HOME key all day long to watch for orders.

    Hi JoeSeadog, extensions can modify the dialog. Try disabling ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
    * Ctrl+Shift+a
    * orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
    In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. (Or if obviously badware/useless, remove.)
    Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
    Any improvement?

  • I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, etc. from the bottom of my screen - how do I get them back?

    I have lost the icons for Word, Excel, iTunes, etc. from the bottom of my desktop - how do I get them back?

    Easy-these are just aliases. Do a cloverleaf+F/command+F (Find) and they should appear. Either create an alias and drag it to the dock-or there's an "add to Dock" command in the Finder. so click on whichever app you'd like to add to the Dock,  then add to Dock and it should appear there. If something isn't in the Dock that doesn't mean it's gone for good. It's just an alias
    well, hope that helped
