Why do apps on iPhone suddenly become big?

All of a sudden, all the apps on the phone become large..sometimes everyone becomes so large that I can't even turn it off because the red line doesn't appear on the screen. Why does it do this and what should I do so that this doesn't happen?

You must have Zoom turned on under Settings>General>Accessibility.
Double-tab with three fingers on the touchscreen to bring it back to normal size, then click on Settings>General>Accessibility, and turn Zoom to OFF.
Cheers,

  • HT4623 I have an  ipad 1. Why my apps turn off suddenly?

    The iPad 1 can not be upgraded beyond 5.1.1.

  • Why are apps on iPhone 5 short?

    I had to go to the Apple Store yesterday because a button was non responsive.  I had already uploaded iOS 7 on the old iPhone 5.  The tech at the store swapped out my phone for a new one and told me I would have to install the new software on this phone since iOS 7 was so new.  I got home and did what he said.  Now, some of the apps when I open them are shorter than the screen and other simply crash as soon as I open them.  I can correct this by deleting and reinstalling the app.  Why is this happening?

    When apps are not fullscreen, they havn't been adapter to the iPhone 5 screen, which is larger than that of the iPhone 4/4S. You will have to contact the app developer - he is the one who has to adapt the app.
    As for apps crashing: If this happens repeatedly I would suggest that you restore your phone over iTunes, as this definetly is not normal behaviour.

  • Why did all my files suddenly become UNIX Executable Files?

    After reformatting my hard drive and installing Panther server, I restored the Retrospect back up of files to my home directory. Unfortunately, all the files that didn't have suffixes (eg: .doc, .xls, .pdf, etc.) suddenly had their icons replaced with an icon of a black console with the word "exec" typed in. And their kind was lost and all became: UNIX Executable File.
    Ever since this Panther server has been acting eratically.
    I have been able to resurrect the affected files by opening them in their native application and resaving them with the proper suffix. But there are thousands of files and dozens of applications that could have made each file.
    Is there a way to resurrect these files without having to open and resave every single file in its native application one at a time? Could these thousands of UNIX Executable Files be causing problems for Panther server?
    Thanks for your input.

    Hi TropicalReef,
    At some point during your backup/restore process the executable bit was set on your files. This should not cause a problem with the overall performance of the operating system. But to some extent this is a security risk. There are a number of GUI applications that can change file permission. I recommend you download one and remove the executable bit from your files. Read the developers documentation carefully. Changing file permission especially in batch mode can be very dangerous.
    The easiest way to make you files double clickable is to add the appropriate suffix to the file name. Again there a number of shareware and freeware apps that will do this. Check MacUpdate and VersionTracker.

  • Iphone suddenly becomes a vibrator

    My iphone4 suddenly vibrate by itself all of a sudden.....unable to on/off or even reset...No response it just keep on vibrating.....Need the vibrate to ends or rather battery flat before I can start my iphone again....Does anyone knows whats this problems.

    First thing to try is a reboot of your device. Press and hold the Home and Sleep buttons simultaneously ignoring the red slider until the Apple logo appears. Let go of the buttons and let the devise restart. See if that fixes your problem.

  • Why does my mac screen suddenly get big?

    Why does my screen suddenly zoom in? I can't figure out what triggers it and how to get back to normal display size

    Thanks Yellowbox. I wasn't using a track pad, but the solution was the same for my mouse. Somewhere along the road I missed the fact that a double click on the mouse zooms and unzooms.

  • Why did all my photos suddenly become flagged

    The 9.3 update to iPhoto '11 was installed about a week ago, and I haven't done much with the library since then (though my wife has imported some pictures).  This evening, I launched the program, created a new album, and then clickied on "Flagged" to link some of those photos into the new album.  Somehow, Flagged is now showing every picture in the library (over 38,000) as "Flagged").  I don't think there was anything strange about the album creation ... it happened that I had highlighted another album as I executed the command, so my new album had those same 30-odd pictures linked and I had to remove them from the album.   The initial display of "Flagged" showed only 18 photos ... untill I clicked on it.
    Is this something that could have happened with the database rebuild from the 9.3 upgrade ?

    Some additional data as I experiment with this.  If I explicitly flag a photo in some other view, the Flagged category is temporarily restored to normalcy.  But it reverts back to showing all photos in the library if I leave the properly functioning flagged folder and do some operations elsewhere in the library (moving photos albums, etc.).

  • Why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

    why has my network suddenly become unavailable to bluetooth?

    I'm not sure that I fully understand 'tethering' other than linking to a 'master'. Nor do I quite know how to answer what I was doing when connecting--I have been trying to connect for some 8 hours now, trying multiple ways around the problem. I guess my main problem is I don't actually understand the technical action underpinning a connection. So I try narrowing down the options and then restoring each action.
    I have been trying to work out where the network failure exists--in my laptop or in my iphone. I have gone back through apps, and whether these were connected through iTunes or not.
    I haven't tried connecting my phone to a printer or an iPod. I only mention them because my lap top is also failing now to pair with my iPod, and I wondered whether the fault is from my laptop's network connection, rather than my iphone's network connection.
    My laptop  wireless connection with my printer has not been disturbed despite the network being unavailable. -- I only mentioned that as an indication that whatever the 'network' was that was unavailable, it was not the network connecting my laptop and printer.
    I am grateful for your interest.

  • IPhone on-screen info suddenly too BIG to fit screen

    My iphone 5 went NUTS overnight.  Can't use it today.  Why?
    It worked flawlessly yesterday, even while charging.  Today, I tried to use it and it's impossible.  Everything I see on screen is now, suddenly, too big to fit on screen  --  icons, text, news, mail, games . . . EVERYthing!  I can't even find the keypad or telephone icon.  Nothing works at all.  I changed nothing.
    Any clues, anybody?

    Hi press the menu button 3 times If that doesn't work Try a Reboot press & hold  power button & menu button Hold both down until you see Apple Logo. Cheers Brian

  • Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use

    Why would my iphone suddenly lose charge rapidly (6-7%/hr) with no use?

    I had the same problem with my iPhone 5 AFTER I had upgraded to IOS.
    Did a good deal of searching on this site and others and found that the main advice being given was to turn off all apps that are running in the background (From the home screen double press the home button and a visual list of all apps running in the background will appear. To turn them off simply swipe your finger upwards on each).
    Found that this definitely solved my problem and now make sure I do this every time I use the phone.
    Hope this helps

  • Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?

    Why do Apps on my iPhone show updates but when I check there are no updates?
    I check my Apps on my MacBook and it says there is 1 update but when I check that there are none.
    Then I sync my iPhone with my MacBook and my iPhone says there are 7 updates for my Apps.
    This is very confusing.  I wish someone could fix this and make it simple and accurate to use.

    Sometimes the update notification comes on but updates themselves do not appear if the iOS is not appropriate for the update.  For example, I have an original iPad, thus limited to iOS 5.1.1, but an app I use has an update that requires iOS 6.1.3.  So I have a consistent update notification but cannot get the update.  So, check your iOS and see if it is up to date.

  • Why does is say purchaseable items too big for download every time I try to download an app?

    Every time I try to download a game or app my iPhone says error message purchasable items too big for download. I even changed my billon information. Anyone know what the problem might be?

    Connect your iPad to iTunes on your Mac/PC and then go to your iPad's summary window. Then click back up if you want to back up your iPad first. After that click restore. Later it will ask you if you want to setup the iPad as a new iPad. Select the option to setup your iPad with your latest back up.

  • Why won't my iPhone 6 connect to iTunes store when trying to make in App purchases?

    Why won't my iPhone 6 connect to the iTunes store when trying to make in App purchases? Wifi and internet are working properly and all login/billing info is correct. Any thoughts?

    Go to settings/itunes & app store tap on the apple ID then view Apple ID then tap on payment information and check that all is correct
