Hey there. Im having problems with my mac display. One day i left it turned on and went out only to come back and find my mac display is too big for the screen. As a result i cant see the corners of the actual display, its only when i move the mouse towards any direction does the display move towards the part i previously couldnt see. how do i get it back to normal? :(
 
Sounds like you got zoomed in. Hold control on your keyboard and move your mouse wheel backwards (toward you).

Don't be, Mac OSX isn't very intuitive, and it's keyboard commands aren't as clear and obvious as MS Windows, especial if you're used to that.

No, the command key is the one directly to the left and right of the space bar. Depending on your model, it may or may not have an Apple logo on it.

It also says 'command' on it.

If you happen to have a keyboard with the Windows key on it, then the Windows key is the command key.
