Zoom feature on iMac

I have recently reinstalled OS X 10.8.5 on my iMac after getting an odeous virus on my hard drive.
I had a feature where I could 'zoom in' on the screen on the area where my mouse pointer was located by holding down my CTRL key and using a two finger scroll up movement onmy magic pad.
Now my system has been reinstalled, I have lost this function and cannot find how to set it back up again, even via the system preferences payne.
Can some kind soul help me??
Thank you.

hank you Carolyn and rkaufmann87, all sorted.
There WAS something odious on my hard drive as it kept on opening new tabs for pron and betting sites.
All gone now thank goodness.
Zoom works fine.

How do I take the zoom feature off my MacBook Pro? I have already went to System Preferences and turned "zoom" off in the Universal Access. I saw where someone said to use THREE fingers to double click... ??? Double click what? And 3 fingers?

What really cheeses me off here is that Apple isn't allowing users enough customization. With each update of iTunes (and the OS and iOS) we're forced to give up something that worked well for the way we want to use the app and make do with fewer (and lamer) options. If Apple keeps this up, they're going to start losing customers fast. I mean if this isn't fixed soon, I'm pretty sure I'm going to give up on iTunes, and then I'll probably go ahead and get a Galaxy when I need to replace my iPhone.
What I don't understand about how they won't let users delete the list of available podcasts now is why? How is this making it a better program? I can understand that not all users are capable enough to right-click on a feed and select "Show all available episodes", so I can see why they want the complete list to be the default (and, surprise, it already was). But to not give users the option to delete that list? It's inconsiderate because it makes navigating feeds with a large back catalogue really frustrating. I'm flabbergasted that no one at Apple considered all the podcast feeds that keep hundreds of episodes available when they removed this feature. It smacks of rank incompetence.
What improvement were they trying to make here anyway? There was nothing wrong to my mind about how podcasts were managed in previous versions. Whatever improvement they were trying to make here, they should have realized that many users would at least want the option to keep things the way they were.
And reverting to a previous version is no solution. I can't sync my iPhone with the new iOS without this update, and (while I do have some issues--specifically how you can't play podcasts in the Music app anymore) I do like the new iOS.

Why is my zoom feature not working in Safari?

Last week when I used the zoom feature on the internet, it made the whole page larger and magnified everything. Now when I zoom, it only makes the text bigger but leaves everything else the same, thus resulting in a very distorted picture. The help feature is telling me to "zoom all", but it does the exact same thing.
I haven't changed anything in my settings so not sure what's happened. If anyone knows how to fix this, that would be great. Thanks.

Thank you. I was clicking on the other options for zoom but it wasn't allowing me to select them. I tried clicking directly on the arrow and it allowed me to "deselect" the Zoom Text Only option. Cheers!

The domain by domain automatic save for the zoom feature in Firefox has stopped working with Facebook, is there anything I can do about this?

I normaly use the zoom feature with Facebook in order to more easily be able to read and see. I like how the entire page zooms in. Recently, however, the zoom started reseting every time i click myself from any page on Facebook to any other. The zoom simply won't save at all, it just resets to the default value.

Zoom feature in iOS 7 for iPhone 4S

In Apples iOS user guide for ios 7 it states that the zoom feature in the video mode for the iSight camera is available for the iPhone 4S and above when in fact it is not. I spoke to two senior technicians in tech support and they both agreed that the information in the user guide is incorrect but could not provide either an explanation or a solution. Interestingly, the zoom feature in the video mode is available for the iPhone 4S operating with iOS 5 but is not available in newer iOS platforms. I think Apple should include this feature in an iOS 7 update since it was available in previous iOS platforms and it was a listed feature in the iOS 7 user guide. Did Apple do this to make people upgrade to a newer iphone? Apple needs to provide accurate information to the public in order for consumers to make educated decisions when when choosing an iPhone. It is a decision most consumers must live with for two years when they enter into a contract with a wireless carrier. This error was also missed and not reported by tech reviews on the Internet.

“Zoom in or out. (iSight camera) Stretch or pinch the image on the screen. For iPhone 4S or later, zoom is available in video mode as well as for still photos.”

What's this 'Zoom' feature in Safari?

I was wondering what exactly do you do with this 'Zoom' feature in Safari 3.1.1. When I hit 'Zoom' the window just resizes. But I don't think anything gets zoomed in. So, what's this feature for? How to get this thing working?

Hi,
Oddly enough, I just tried that, and all it did was to make the page bigger, but it also 'zoomed' in to your posting, in much the same way as clicking on the green button does. I suspect that it's tool that enables us to go to a particular part of a page (such as the postings in these forums) rather than have to scroll through them. I've also discovered, that to click on minimise sends the page to the dock, so you would do better to click on the green button to restore the page to a more workable size, or to the window size before you clicked on Zoom.

HTML5 Zoom Feature Problem on Safari iOS iDevices?

Hello,
I am building my own website in HTML5. If you have an iPhone (I use a 4S) you can check it out here: http://bigapplephototours.com/html5/
When the website is first loaded up in portrait mode, the website fits nice and neat within the iPhones dimensions (if small). When you turn the iPhone to landscape mode, the website fills in this space nicely too.
The problem happens when you turn the iPhone back into portrait mode. Using Safari, the website automatically zooms in and you can't see most of of the website. When you turn the phone, yet again, to landscape mode, the website stays in zoom mode. I don't want this.
I only want the zooming feature in Safari to work when the screen is tapped. Check out http://www.apple.com and http://www.neonsky.com. These are two websites, when viewed with Safari on the iPhone, that stay unzoomed.
Can someone please provide me with the correct HTML5 code that will fix this problem? So far, my google searches have yielded several other people with the same coding problem. Every fix I have tried has not worked. Please, if you know how to fix this problem, would you please give me a detailed coding fix?
Thank you,
David

Can the size of the app icons be increased. The zoom feature just brings them all up and to the right, but you can't see all of the icons.

I am trying to increase the size of the icons for apps on an iPad, but don't see how. I looked in Universal Access but it is not there. The zoom feature just brings all the icons up and to one side.

No, what you've found is the only way to increase their size. You could try leaving feedback for Apple : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Why doesn't the track pad zoom feature on my Macbook Pro work with the newest version of Firefoz?

The track pad zoom feature doesn't work with the latest version of Firefox. It did on the previous version. I used to use Firefox as my default browser, but no longer use it very much due to the incompatibility of this version on my Macbook Pro.

Some gestures have been removed in Firefox 4.
You can restore the zoom feature by changing the values of the related prefs on the about:config page.
browser.gesture.pinch.in -> cmd_fullZoomReduce
browser.gesture.pinch.in.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.out -> cmd_fullZoomEnlarge
browser.gesture.pinch.out.shift -> cmd_fullZoomReset
browser.gesture.pinch.latched -> false
To open the about:config page, type about:config in the location (address) bar and press the "Enter" key, just like you type the url of a website to open a website. 
If you see a warning then you can confirm that you want to access that page. 
You can use the Filter bar at to top of the about:config page to locate a pref more easily.

Every time I go to a new site or I refresh a site I'm already on, I have to use the zoom feature. Is there a way to keep it zoomed to a certain size page?

Every time I go to a new site or I refresh a site I'm already on, I have to use the zoom feature. Is there a way to keep it zoomed to a certain size page?

Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Why can't I save changes I made to a photo using the zoom feature?

why can't I save changes I made to photo that I use the zoom feature. I zoom in and set it the way I want but when I click done it reverts the photo back to it's original size.

When you zoom you're not chnaging the image at all, just looking at more closely, like using binoculars. Using binoculars doesn't actually bring the object closer. So with zooming. I think you might want to explore cropping.
