my son who is 2 has done something to my imac.
with me being as Noob on imac i dont know what to do.
on main screen to go to dock i have to move mouse to bottom of screen
because u cant see it if i dont move the mouse.
same when i open up a web page cant see all page have to move mouse
to edge of screen to see all the page.
resolution is ok so im lost. any1 please help. thx in response. ;)
 
Sounds like the dock has auto-hiding enabled. Click the  button on the top menu and go to dock and turn hiding off. Or use Option+Command+D to do it via keyboard and see if that works.

As for being unable to see the web page window, do you mean that when you launch Safari/your web browser, it opens the window off screen?

the screen seems bigger than my screen. i have to move mouse to see all screen in all 4 corners. the resolution is ok. but to see top of screen have to move mouse up to top. to see bottom of screen have to move mouse to bottom of screen. but like i said screen resolution is ok. dont know what to do :(
 
Ah yes, the zoom feature. I hate it and always turn it off in the system preferences.

Basically I think if you hold down the Control (CTRL) button then scroll down on the mouse ball it should zoom out.

Then go into system preferences, mouse I think it is and disable the zoom feature :D

Bloody hell @ last sorted. thx for that m8 well chuffed ;)
 
It was the annoying zoom that was causing the problem. It wasn't that the dock was hidden, it was the screen was zoomed in far enough that the edges were off the screen and had to be scrolled to.
