I swear that I would call Apple on this if I had even the remotest chance of getting
through after all the iPhone crashes. Since that is futile I am asking you all to help me. My iMac is stuck in full zoom. My mouse scroll stopped working.
Here is what I HAVE tried:
Cleaning the mouse ( have done this 4+ x)
Restarting the compututer
Shut off computer
Every time it boots back to full zoom.
Please someone bail me out before I lose a full day of work!

Thanks for the response.
Just did as suggested- a challenge in full zoom. Rebooting – keeping fingers crossed
Booted back to full zoom.
Any other suggestions?
BTW-I zoomed using apple+Z
YES!!!!
I was going to go to the apple store and buy a new mouse until I remembered the release of the G3 and thought it would take 3 hours to get a mouse.
Then I got ticked off and abused the daylights out of the mouse- and IT WORKS!
Thanks so much PupnTaco for the help anyway!
Restart while holding down Command + Option + P + R
Wait for the second chime, then release the keys
This resets all preferences and other settings on your iMac.
Writing it down- THAT is handy information sndfreQ- Thanks
That actually clears the PRAM and doesn’t change System Preferences settings.
Just had this problem myself. A good solution to get the zoom to back out is holding ‘option’ + ‘command’ and the minus [ – ] keys.
