I am running latest Yosemite 10.10.4 on latest MacMini model. Somehow the magnification is enabled BUT the checkbox is not editable so I cannot turn it OFF or change the size. I am a Mac user for MANY years and have never seen this. How to change it? I have also run PRAM reset, repaired permissions. Nothing I have found on web is working.

See if this works
To temporarily enable Dock magnification on your Mac, hold down Control+Shift as you mouse over the Dock icons. To turn it off again, just release the Control and Shift keys.

Also to increase the maximum magnification size, try running this in terminal
defaults write com.apple.dock largesize -float 128.000000
killall Dock

Shortcut is not working. The terminal command also does nothing. – maziman84 Jun 10 '15 at 11:39

System preferences / Dock / check magnification checkbox
Else in terminal run
defaults write com.apple.dock largesize -float 128.000000
killall Dock

I hoped the "I am a Mac user for many years and never see this." will be understood in a way that I know where the Dock features settings are. The problem is that the checkbox is not editable. – maziman84 Jun 10 '15 at 11:31
