Safari opens with a small screen, how to I make it full screen?

need help with making safari open in full screen

Using command-control-F only works once for me. The next time Safari is opened, it goes right back to a small window in the upper right of the screen; so small that it's unusable. Deleting ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db also makes no difference.
For me, the solution was to:
1.) Open Safari.
2.) Click on the green button.
3.) Quit Safari.
4.) Open Safari and the window will be maximized.
If you do anything in Safari after clicking the green button (step two above) then this fix will not work. This fix will not cause Safari to open to full screen mode (i.e., the result that you'll get by clicking the two arrows in the upper right of a windo in Safari). It causes Safari to open in the largest possible window for your display.

  • Youtube videos only open with quicktime--small screen/no audio. Flash works with Safari, not Firefox.

    I've updated flash, reset Firefox, restarted Mac. Youtube videos will not load with Flash. They open with Quicktime in a 1x2 inch box of low res images with no audio.

    Open up your preferences/Options and open up applications. From here check the preferences for youtube files. In about:permissions you can check the preferences for youtube.com as well.

  • How do I make safari open with blank page but keep resume?

    Since Lion, Safari always opens with the last opened website.
    I don't want that! How can I make sure that Safari opens
    with a full and BLANK screen ???
    Specifically I do NOT want to uncheck resume function for ALL
    applications. I want to FORCE Safari to open a specific website,
    or a blank page - REGARDLESS if resume is on or off !!!
    My computer doesn't do what I want!
    Is this a ALPHA version???

    Here you go:
    Go to terminal and type in the following:
    defaults write com.apple.Safari ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES
    If you decide that you rather have the new resume behavior, execute the above commands but change YES to NO
    You can also do the same for Preview:
    defaults write com.apple.Preview ApplePersistenceIgnoreState YES

  • HT4550 Why does my Safari open with American version and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preference

    Why does my Safari open with American version, and home page with Apple iPhone 5 advert even though I have changed them in preferences, it happens every time no matter how many times I change them, when I open Safari its back to the USA and Apple home page.

    Try this.
    Hold the shift key down and launch Safari.
    Best.

  • Safari opens with old tabs on start up

    Safari keeps opening with old tabs from about 3 weeks ago rather than my home page. On start up safari is showing as open and there is a folder in the right hand part of the dock. This has the old tabs in it and safari opens with these and not my home page. I've seen other threads which advise to ensure preferences are set correctly etc but none of this has worked. All settings are for my home page to open and not previous windows. What confuses me is why these particular old tabs are opening. Any ideas how to get rid of them and for safari to start opening with my home page again. Thanks.

    I have been experiencing the exact same issue as eddiethered for the past 2 weeks, I'm having 4 old browser tabs open everytime I launch Safari.  This is not an issue of a settings configuration, it is an issue of a bad .plist or cache from what I can tell.  Like eddiethered, I have ensured the following:
    My default homepage is about:blank, so upon Safari launch nothing other than a blank page should appear.
    It is not an issue of restarting the OS and having "Reopen windows when logging back in" checked off, when I restart I ALWAYS uncheck that - but in the past week the same apps seem to relaunch automatically when they shouldn't.
    This is not an issue of previously closing vs quitting the Safari browser, I Command-Q all my apps when I am finished with them.  Even when I hard-quit Safari, the old 4 browser tabs/websites reappear.
    This is not a issue of Login Items as I don't have a single application listed as a Login Item for my Username.
    I've also noticed other apps having issues (iChat, Chrome).  As of now Firefox is the only browser that is launching without any issues.  Yes an OS reinstall could be an option but that is a substantial amount of effort I don't want to invest.  Due to the other apps having issues this may be an issue at the OS level and not Safari.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

  • When I open a document from any of my files, it only opens in a small screen and I can't make the screen bigger.

    Hello!  I'm hoping someone can help me with a recent problem on my MacBook Pro.  When I try to open a document from one of my files, it only seems to open in a small screen and I can't seem to make that screen any bigger to work on it.  Has this happened to anyone else before?  Thank you for your answer in advance!

    Oh, I wanted to add that trying to drag the little diagonal lines to the right of the page doesn't seem to work.

    You will need to restore it. The sidebar of your iPad appears on itunes even if you dont enter the passcode. There's the option to restore it. More info:

  • Safari 7.0.4. Couldn't find option "Safari opens with:"

    I'm using Safari 7.0.4. Couldn't find option "Safari opens with:". I want to enable all my tabs and windows to be restored where I left off when I quit Safari. I can see that option in my iMac which is running at same version level.

    It should happen automatically, unless you checked the box marked Close all windows when quitting an application in the General pane of System Preferences.
