I did something and my images are all split into 4 corners of the screen. Please advise, I am totally lost. Is it something to do with arrange?

Yes I've had that annoying problem as well running Photoshop off an Mac Book Pro with an external monitor. 

The solution I found is to click on the green traffic light and the work area and images will reset to normal.

Where is the green traffic light?

The window control to maximise or full screen.

You have somehow used Window > Arrange > Tile.  Change that to Consolidate All to Tabs

This is not a tiling issue. I am having the same problem...my image is duplicated in all four corners, but not the entire image. I have attached a screen shot for reference. It has to do with the computer display, because this is the second time it has happened when I connect to an external monitor through HDMI. I disconnect from the monitor and the problem persists. The only way to fix it that I've found is to close and reopen as the OP notes. I feel this is definitely a bug that Adobe needs to address.

 I have the same exact problem!!

What an annoying bug.

I hope they fix this.

 The advice given on another post was to:

"Update your system's graphics driver and check your hardware acceleration settings."

Im not sure how to do that on a MAC?

after several restarts of the computer and several restarts of photoshop the problem somehow cleared itself. Thanks for trying to help
