Q: My iMac screen display is stretched.

I've tried adjusting to all the different settings in the display folder and isn't working.  It's too big to fit in the screen. How do I get it back to normal?

    Turn off Zoom from the Universal Access and Keyboard & Mouse panes of System Preferences.

    I am also having this problem and can't find Universal Access on Systems Preferences? And, there doesn't seem to be a simple option to Turn off Zoom??

     

    Maybe I am being really thick?

    Your problem, hardware or software, may not be exactly the same as that of the original poster of this older thread, and it can be very confusing for everybody if we try to answer more than one question in each thread, which can also result in you applying the wrong advice to your particular problem.

     

    In order for us to give your problem our proper attention to try to solve it, would you kindly start your own thread, describing the trouble you are having in the fullest detail, including completing your details to show what Mac or iDevice you are using, what operating system, and what version of the application in question. Please remember to post in the forum relevant to your hardware or version of OS X. A full list of all the support forums is here:

    Thanks for the reply

     

    I have since solved the problem. Under Window on the Safari screen I pushed Zoom and the screen once agains displays the whole page. This might help someone else with this issue
