I have a MacBook Pro (Pro 15), Ventura OS 13.7, This morning I noticed that the Dock and Top Bar are not shown - must scroll down or up to see it. I have researched the Desk top & Dock, Control Center, View and Edit. I got the Dock to show but nothing on the top - Helpless in Atlanta


MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.7

What app do I need to be in to do the scrolling downward?

If your screen is really zoomed it, you should be able to this control-scroll gesture regardless of which application you are running. But rereading this thread I am now thinking that the issue is different.


Can you explain what this means: "anything I open is in a small screen"?


Maybe you could post a screenshot that illustrates the situation

There are several MacBook Pro that qualify to run macOS 13 Ventura


It the screen resolution has been sett to High or too Lower


The Top Bar may well be Off the screen, same for Dock


Check in System Preferences >> Display

As of last night, I had none of these changes. Today the dock and top bar are off the screen and anything I open is in a small screen. I can go to full screen but it only applies to the page I'm on. If I restart, nothing I've done is present. Also I need some clarification on "F keys" I have 12 F Keys.

Was there some sort of midnight update?

Anything I open is in a small screen means that say, I check the MLB scores, the page is small, emails are small when opened. Also, to reply to your previous instruction about Ventura / Mac Book Pro, I looked in Display and saw the" Native" (first time I ever heard that word), I don't know how to connect them to my Mac.- 1680 x 1050 is listed as default so maybe that is the one. The only thing I can propose was a Zoom call the night before. However, I have about two Zooms each week and had no issues. Thank you so much for your patience and help.
