Dock wont go away in Full Screen mode

When entering full screen mode <F> the Finder Dock is still visible - it didn't use to be....

Command + Option + D is the universal command to make the Dock appear and dissapear.
Cheers,

Dock won't hide in full screen mode

When editing pictures in full screen mode, the dock does not disappear. I don't think it's always been this way -- I could swear that it used to disappear, which is what I want it to do. With the way it is now, i have to manually hide the dock in order to get to the bottom picture editing toolbar.
Perhaps the issue is unrelated to iPhoto, because whenever I change a dock setting by right-clicking in the space bewteen the left and right parts of the dock, I have to choose the option twice before the setting sticks.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Alan
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Seems like a Dock issue rather than an iPhoto one. Does it also happen with other full-screen apps: for instance, with iTunes Visualiser in Full Screen mode?
What might be worth trying is to trash the com.apple.dock.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to log out and back in. This will reset the dock to the out-of-the-box settings. You'll need to make your settings again.

The Dock keeps returning in Quicktime full screen mode

Hi all, hope someone has some insight as this is really starting to get to me...
when watching stuff in QT every time at some point the dock will reappear on top of the movie and i will have to cmd+F out and back in to get rid of it, sometimes it comes up within minutes other times it can take up to 30 mins or so... its been happening for a few months now... i have noticed if i have adium open with my contact list on auto hide to the side that it will come up with the dock but will promptly autohide again, where as the dock stays visible.
Thanks
Harro

I had this problem a while back when i upgraded from Tiger, then somewhere along the way, one of the updates fixed it. I recently did a clean format and created a new user account, lo and behold, it's back... This time with Adium X too!

How to disable dock in full screen mode?

Hi, every time im full screen the dock are bugging me. Exemple, when i'm on Facebook on Google Chrome in full screen and I want to write something in the chat, the dock pop-up. Is there a way to disable dock when i'm in full screen mode? I'm on a MBP mid 2012 running Maverick.
Thanks you!

Alternatively you can use the same principle anywhere on the screen, you do not have to scroll to the bottom. Simply move the cursor to the screen edge where your dock is then move the cursor the same direction again. You do have to briefly pause between the two movements but you can do this anywhere the dock is located, it does not have to be at one position on the screen. That should speed things up a bit and prevents the dock from appearing by inadvertently scrolling to the side or the bottom.
If you can, get a Magic Trackpad, Lion navigation works very well with one of these, I think that the days of the mouse are numbered. The numbers of gestures available with the Magic Trackpad is extensive in Lion.

Browser is annoying in full-screen mode

How do I get the Browser to go away in full-screen mode?
Thanks in advance for any tips.

Maria-
You can change under the View Menu or just click V to cycle among viewing modes. However if you are perhaps selected on the All Projects icon under the Library you will will be stuck on Browser mode.

How to show dock in full screen mode

Hello,
I'm wondering how to get the dock to show up temporarily in full screen mode. When I place my cursor near the bottom of the screen in a full screen app, the dock doesn't pop up. Is this normal and if so, how do I switch between full screen apps without using gestures on the mouse? I'm really hoping that this is a bug.
Thanks

Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

Well, it doesn't work consistently here. I have Dock Hiding on. When a screen does not contain a full screen app, it works fine. Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen (where I have the dock) pops up the dock as expected. If the screen has a full screen app in place (usually Mail or Safari), the behaviour is very inconsistent. Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen, waving it back and forth, up and down, with the odd click, will bring up the dock in maybe 10 to 15% of attempts. Take the app out of full screen, and it works perfectly. Put it back in full screen, stops working. This is a new MacBook Pro with 10.7.1
Any ideas welcome. Meanwhile, Im getting used to the four finger squeeze to bring up the Launcher.

"Press esc to exit full screen mode" stays on screen, wont disappear, I have to refresh page many times

Windows 7
using firefox
adobe flash player 16.0.0.305
I have tried many things and with this new computer build I did not want to try any of the 3rd party fixes for this issue. I see a ton of posts regarding this issue some referring to the problem as the creator of the game or video, some referring to Why is this still an issue why hasn't this been fixed its been years.....
So I am starting a new discussion as I cant find any relevant in time fixes for my issue all I see is over two years old with no real fixes for the issue. So I hope I am just missing it.
Anyways here is the issue I would love to just disable it make it go away entirely. I know I need to press esc to exit full screen mode. Most of the time it does disappear and that would be fine too but while I am watching hulu videos in my queue and escaping between full screen mode and normal mode to add next show to queue and then going to next show in queue sometimes I have to refresh the page to make the bubble disappear.
Is there anything I can do? and I quote many users before me in stating "Why is this stilll an issue?"

Hmmm lets see well in reply to your answer and comments. I only use firefox. I wrote an app about 6 months which without any user intervention could really mess up chrome. I could download passwords from chrome unencrypted so I do not use chrome I avoid it like the plaugue. Internet Explorer kind of the same issue but in reverse seems to be pretty secure but huge and klunky. So I only use firefox. I just refreshed it which fixed an issue I was having with a sign on issue with swagbucks ext add on not remembering who I am and so on. I will see if this has any effect.
To continue on this issue though if you know hulu at all. If I pick the next show I want to watch manually, which would technically load a new web page as a "refresh" It always disappears, However if I use the queue option or auto watch mode I really don't know how to properly discribe this. If I just let it finish a show and it automatically picks the next show. Then I assume that flash player programming is causing the web page change and so somehow yes the webpage changes but the "refresh" does not occur or inother words the flash player keeps running doesn't get refreshed and over time several things occure. If i watch about 5 shows in this automated matter flash starts to really eat up my memory and then the esc message starts to not disappear.
Also randomly I can not tell which ads cause this of course, I would love to be able to give you or hulu more info but There is an add that gets ready to play during a show. This add causes my antivirus to throw a fit and blocks it, then flash player crashes I would assume because of the failure to load the add and play it.
I understand your description of why it is the way it is and that makes since. But for us wire cutters or cable cancelers, I watch tv through online use and for whatever reason flash is the only option. and having to get off my couch and go over to my computer to refresh the webpage and or reload cause of crashes is getting old.

Do not show the Mac menu bar and the Dock in full-screen mode option not available

"Remote Desktop Connection" for mac has an option to
hide the menu bar in full screen mode. I am unable to locate this option in the new
Microsoft Remote Desktop. Without this option the remote desktop connection bar becomes completely inaccessible. And since the old "remote desktop connection" program has poor support for windows 8.1 I cannot go back.
Is there a workaround? Can you please add this important feature back in?

H,
I am afraid that we have no solution or workaround for this. I will help to submit this as a customer wish to the product team.

Empty space while in full screen mode

Hi there, today after the installation of OSX Maverick, i've started to experience some problems with the new dock bar. When i try to use VLC in full screen mode, i see an empty space on the top of the screen, and the dock bar on the top does not wants to hide away of the monitor. I printed a screenshot of my monitor that you can see down there, and i'd like to know if there's someone else with my same issues, or if it's me, and i just need to set up my MacBook Pro, to solve that.
On the top of the picture you can see that there's still an empty space, where i can still see my background image.http://imageshack.us/f/196/go1p.png/
Thanks for your help and sorry for my bad english. Cheers.

I have the same problem at times. I exit full screen and then enter back into full screen. Does that work for you?

Aperture 3.1 - Love Full Screen Mode, Hate The System Lock-Ups

Hi Guys,
I don't know if I'm the only person encountering this issue but Aperture 3 is driving me nuts. While I absolutely love the program and the full-screen mode, what I hate is the frequent lock-ups that force me to completely restart my iMac. Having the application lock-up is highly annoying but at least in "normal" mode I could kill the application from the Dock or Activity Monitor. However, when I'm operating in full-screen mode then I can't switch out of the application and seem to have no option but to completely restart my computer. This problem, which I first started experiencing with version 3.0 but which does seem to have been addressed in version 3.1, is happening so often that I'm afraid now to even use full-screen mode.
This problem only, to my memory, seems to happen when making adjustments but it does not seem to matter which adjustment. In the most recent occurrence the lock-up happened when I cancelled the application of a Crop by clicking the X icon on the Crop HUD.
Does anyone know either a) what might be causing the lock-ups, or b) how I can kill Aperture without having to completely restart my computer?

You could also set up SPACES to see if that works when lock up occurs in full screen
Apple Icon > System Preference > Desktop & Screen Saver > Hot corners
I have bottom left set to spaces
Then drop the mouse to bottom left, 4 windows appear, drag aperture to a seperate window and run there, you desktop is in a different space and can be accessed by bottom left of screen mouse movement (if the mouse works when A3 locks up)

ScreenSaver coming on when in Full Screen Mode

Hi Guys,
My father-in-Law got the Quicktime pro 7 for windows, I still haven't been able to get him to buy a mac... but that's another story. When we installed the software on his laptop, everything works fine, but when watching an .mp4 file, we noticed that along the way every 15 mins the screensaver would take over the screen, we where watching in full screen mode, this of course it not right cause in my Mac, no screensaver takes control away from quicktime in full screen mode. We had to reset the screensaver to never for us to watch the .mp4 file.... please fix this in the next windows update. Or let's us know what settings to use for this not to happen. Thanks

Most screen savers allow the user to set the "time" when they start.
Set the delay longer than the QuickTime file.
Send to "Feedback" to request changes in the software. This one bugs me at times, too.

I can't restore my toolbars and the "full screen" mode button is NOT at the top right-hand corner of my browser (or anywhere else)

My toolbar and menu is gone from Firefox. I have tried closing the browser and opening new ones and all the suggestions in the help forums on this website (as well as several others). Pressing "alt", "F10", "F11" and SEVERAL other things have NOT helped.
There is no full screen mode button anywhere on my browser and when I put my cursor at the top of the window, NO menu options appear at all.
I normally would quit Firefox but the icon won't appear in my dock and my computer won't let me eject the application (to download again) because apparently it's in use (even when I've closed all windows).

F11 doesn't work on a Mac to toggle full screen mode.
Make sure that you do not run Firefox in full screen mode (press F11 or Fn + F11 to toggle; Mac: Command+Shift+F).

Weird screen issues in full screen mode

This problem here could as well be posted under the MacPro section, but I'll give it a try here first:
I have a brand new MacPro 6-core with the HD 5870 graphics card option. I use a dual screen setup with a Cinema HD 23" (Aluminium body) hooked up using the Mini Display Port Adpater and a brand new NEC PA241W hooked up using the big DVI connector.
The Cinema Display is secondary, while the NEC is primary.
Everything runs fine until I go to full screen mode in Aperture (3.1). As soon as I use one of the floating windows of Aperture (like when pressing "H" or when using the Crop Tool) the image, which is displayed full screen on the NEC while having the browser on the ACD, starts to behave very awkward. When using the crop tool for example, it will get reduced to about 80% of the full screen size. When I move the mouse somewhere on the ACD it gets back to full screen. This then goes back and forth every time I move my mousepointer somewhere.
Similarily, when I start to edit a few sliders with the Adjustments panel, the NEC image sometimes gets darker for a split second and then back up to normal brightness. Same here: when I move the mouse pointer on the ACD, it usually triggers this in any kind of way.
As you can imagine, there is no way of working fluently and it gets on my nerves pretty fast, making full screen view unusable. In the normal window view, there is no such behavior at all.
I have the feeling, that there seems to be something wrong with either the HD 5870, it's drivers, something in Aperture itself (no problems in any other Application so far) or any combination of all of the above together.
Before this setup I used a iMac with the ACD attached and never had any issues.
Any ideas?

- it's just one card, the optional HD 5870
- I switched the primary/secondary between the NEC and the ACD and also switched the way they connect to the GC, still the same. So it occurs on the ACD as well and it does not matter if either display is connected using the DVI or the Mini Display Port (therefore I think it's not a display issue)
- I always update everything right away, so my systems are always running the latest of everything, OS X, Aperture...
- I used the profile which was default for the NEC and a calibrated one for the ACD. But since it occurs on both monitors, I don't think this is an issue. It is highly unlikely that there are two broken profiles at the same time causing the exact same bug
Meanwhile I got an answer from somebody in another Mac forum and he could reproduce this behavior on his MacPro, which is from 2008 and has the 5770 card. So it narrows down even further and seems to affect older MP's and the 5770 card as well. I'm indeed glad that somebody else experiences the same, because I was worried that my brand new MP was broken.
Here are the exact steps how to reproduce it (you need a MP + Aperture + 2 Displays):
1. go to full screen with "F"
2. enable the HUD using "H"
3. lock the HUD to the viewer using the small button in the upper right corner of the HUD
4. activate any of the quick brushes, like dodge or burn
5. the picture, which should be full screen on the primary display, will now reduce in size to about 70% and will be sitting on the right hand side of the screen

Cs4 full screen mode w/ menu bar no longer can scroll picture off edges

In earlier versions' full screen mode with menu bar, if I zoom into a photo I can scroll the edge of the photo away from the windows edge, making it easier to select and work on the corners of the photo.
In cs4, I can't get that to work. Any ideas?

Works for me... What graphics card? Screen resolution? General computer info?
