Menu bar sometimes doesn't show up on full screen apps??

sometimes when i take google chrome,utorrent, etc apps to full screen the menu bar doesn't pop up no matter how much i click at top... i cant even take the apps out of the full screen mode (not even from the keyboard shortcut)... after i log out and log in it starts working fine untill its stops working again....

Google Chrome and Mac OS are not the best of friends.  There have been a number of reports regarding the incompatibility and I suggest that you consider another browser.  Firefox, Safari and Opera are all good alternatives .
Utorrents are an open invitation to problems and are excellent vehicles to introducing malware into your MBP.  I recommend that you do not use them.  To continue, you do so at your own peril.
Ciao.

  • Bug? Menu Bar Not Accessible in Safari After Watching Full Screen Video

    Hi everyone,
    I have had this Not accessible menu bar problem time to time while using Safari, and I finally figured out what caused it. It always happens right after you go to a full screen video mode, and then get back out, and now when you move the mouse curser to the top, menu bar doesn't show. Then a way to fix is by using the 4 finger gesture to go back to the desktop screen, and come back to safari (not too fast) and menu bar is again accessible. Why is apple not fixing this bugs? I have seen more thread about menu bar gone, so it's not just me.

    Hit the escape key to exit full screen.
    That may be a "works as expected/designed," but once you've exited Full Screen View, then reenter Full Screen View and play a video in full screen mode, the window switches out of Full Screen to display the video in full screen video mode. It doesn't stay in Full Screen view, like it is the first time around.
    EDIT:
    Esc exits full screen video mode, but you still cannot access the slide-out menu bar with the button. Repeatedly pressing Esc does not exit Full Screen View, either. This only appears on the first invocation of Full Screen view and video mode. Once you exit Full Screen, the window behaves differently.
    Note that we have determined this is only affected by HTML5 video. I have to do some more testing to figure out if it is ClickToPlugin that is causing the issue.
    What's a good source for straight HTML5 video?

  • Menu bar is not visible, but neither is Full Screen mode button. How do I fix this?

    While I am in Firefox, it appears that I am in Full Screen mode, as my Menu Bar is missing while in the application, but when I looked up how to troubleshoot, it told me to click on the Full Screen mode button (with diagonal arrows) but it is not visible anywhere in my browser. How else can I get out of Full Screen mode? Thank you!

    On Mac you can use: command+Shift+F

  • How do I hide the menu bar on Safari when watching videos on full screen mode?

    Hey guys,
    I have a mid 2010 macbook pro (Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8) which I have recently restored from time machine after installing a new hard drive.
    However, now when I watch flash videos on putlocker or hulu etc the menu bar on safari on the top left of the screen and the icons on the top right (airport, battery, date/time etc) does not disappear as it used to.
    When I am on youtube I have a similar problem but this time the video only occupies the window so tabs (and everything above) in safari and my dock still appear. I know this may be a youtube related query, but if anyone knows how to change this I would appreciate any guidance.
    This is my first post so sorry if this in the wrong forum (feel free to move it) or if my description is unclear, I can provide further information if needed.
    Many thanks!
    Tom

    You're welcome and only on my first cup of coffee

  • Menu Bar at top will not hide during full screen playback

    URGENT!! Please help. I am playing a QT movie in version 7 on operating system 10.3.9 on an ibook. Despite selecting full screen mode the menu bar at the top will not disappear during playback. Have checked all preference settings. Any advice?

    I am having the same problem. I have an iBook with system 10.3.9 running the newest version of QT. It worked at first, but then I used the menu once during a fullscreen play and the menu hasn't hidden since. And no, my cursor isn't stuck at the top of the screen.

    var event = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("events.xml", "catalog/event", {sortOnLoad: "date", sortOrderOnLoad: "descending"});
    event is such a reserved word. If you change this to event1 then all is well.

  • How do I stop the menu from showing up when I hover to the top of a full screen app?

    I am running Parallels in full-screen on Lion and when I move the cursor towards the top of the full screen app the menu pops up. How do I stop the menu from popping up? I keep hitting an icon on the menu bar that pulls it out of full screen mode and it's getting very annoying. Thanks.

    Use VMware Fusion? But seriously, Fusion does what you want. It just puts a mini VM control menu at the top when running full screen (and that's configurable, too), so the main menu bar doesn't appear at all. Which means that it's up to Parallels to handle this. Are you running Parallels 7, which is designed for Lion? If you are and Parallels still doesn't offer something similar, you need to contact Parallels.

  • When I'm using Safari, acasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! ???

    When I'm using Safari, ocasionally the menu bar just disappears. I'm running the latest version of Lion and the latest version of Safari. This is not a full screen app problem. I have multiple windows open. This happens all the time! Firefox is fine! What the ****? Please help!

    Right, like I'm trying to say, THERE IS NO SAFARI MENU bar. Example: I have multiple applications open, I click on a Photoshop window, the correct menu or title bar or whatever changes. Every other application window I click on brings up the correct "whatever" bar. If I click on the desktop, the "Finder Bar" shows up.
    Everythiing else, BUT SAFARI, works the same way since OS X came out.  This is ridiculous.
    I'm getting the vibe that Apple is trying to get rid of the finder.... this is the way wrong direction.

    I cannot access Content Library in iMovie - Content Library doesn't show on the iMovie screen and is greyed out when accessed through "windows" tab at the top. Also unable to update the projects/events (a suggested solution for a similar question). I haven't had this issue before, I have always used the content library on the screen but haven't used this for about a month. How can I make the Content Library available?

    Thanks so much! I am backing up the entire computer now with an external hard drive - this should be fine right? And surely if I am backing up the whole computer these projects/videos will be backed up too? I wasn't sure how to do this any other way and I am clearly not great with tech issues. Once this is done and I am sure my projects/videos are safe I will do the delete and reinstall bit. Thanks for taking the time to help

  • Where have my menu bars gone for full screen apps?

    Hello
    Liking Lion so far but a quick query:
    When I first started using it, I could make the menu bar appear in a full screen app by simply moving the cursor up to the top of the screen and holding it there - the menu bar would appear within a second.
    Now, nothing happens. I have to either quit the application - or I've now found that CTRL/CMD/F pulls me out of the full screen - but then that puts the app back onto the main desktop.
    Is there anything I might have done to alter this behaviour?
    Thanks..

    I can't reproduce it on my system. You might want to
    create a new User go to System Preferences > Accounts > "+" (make it an admin acct) and test full screen in this new account, to see if the problem is isolated to your User or systemwide.

    Try using RecBoot to kick it out of recovery mode. If that does not work, try a manual install, as outlined in link below. If it STILL keeps entering recovery mode, you most likely need a new logic board.

  • Keep menu bar visible in all full-screen apps?

    Where is the system-level setting to ensure that, even when I maximize an application, the menu bar is still visible. I don't like having to move the mouse to see the battery life, wifi signal, date etc. I'm on Yosemite, if it matters. To be clear, I'm not looking for a workaround that will provide these various bits of information elsewhere. I want to know how to mandate the menu bar stay visible.

    swipe three fingers up to see the screen with all your apps spread out and at the top there will be windows with all your full screen apps.  go all the way to the right of that with your mouse at the top and a window with a  + sign will stick out from the side of the screen.  Click it and it will create a second desktop.  then if you put an app in full screen** in each desktop (and hide the dock) your screen will keep the menu bar and you will still be able to flip between open apps just as if they were full screen!!
    EDIT - I meant if you maximize an app on each desktop.. sorry

  • I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen.  How do I reset that to open in full screen?

    I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen.  How do I reset that to open in full screen?

    Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
    If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

  • 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

    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.

  • How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?

    I'm new to Bridge, so I bet this falls into the new-user silly question category rather than a missing feature. How do I show ratings in full-screen preview?I touch the space bar to get the preview. If I touch a number 1-5, it adds that rating and a little oval box shows up in the lower left with the file name and the star rating. All very nice. Then if I scroll through my images, that same oval shows up for each image, with its respective rating. Again, nice. But each time I first enter full-screen preview, the oval is not displayed. How do I get it to show up, short of adding or modifying a rating? Surely there is some keystroke or gesture.

    CharleyBC wrote:
     --- How very odd. So the only way I can see the ratings in full-screen preview is to take a potentially destructive action. Adding a rating destroys whatever rating might have already been there.
    What I have done for a workaround is to re-rate an image to same value.  If I start a sequence of full-screen preview display I'll look at the rating of the first image (one star, for instance) then when image is displayed full screen I'll re-rate it one star.  Starts display of ratings in full screen without altering rating.  Then, as you mention in OP, I can sequence through images in full screen view and rating will be displayed.

Maybe you are looking for
