Hello, I hope I am saying this correctly, but I have a problem with my Dock Station. Well at first when I purchased my MacBook, when I ran the mouse pointer over the Icons, they would turn big. Now they don't. Is there a way I can enable that again. It was pretty coool. Any advice will be helpful and please correct me if I am wording the Dock incorrectly. Thanks

Go to System Preferences > Dock and check the "Magnification" box. You can also change the size if you like.

G'day NeoGreen,

What you're experiencing is normal behaviour and nothing to worry about. You can toggle that effect ("the Magnification effect") on/off and it's just been turned off.

Go to the Blue Apple icon in the top left on your Desktop and click and scroll to Dock and then go to Dock Preferences in the contextual menu that appears.

Next look under 'Dock Size' where it says "Magnification:"

There is a check box to the left of it and you need to tick it for the Magnification to be enabled.

Have a play with the other settings there to see what is possible.
