Unable to switch  screen mode from standard: PS CS5

Full screen with or without menus is grayed out in the view menu and the view dropdown selector from the menu bar. I have quit and re-entered PS and have reset all workspaces to default. I have checked that I'm working in 64 bit. I still cannot switch screen mode from standard. Last update was to 12.04. Last extension installed was photokit sharpener.
Thanks for any help. (PS, how do I reset preferences file on a mac?)

Ahh, I knew it was probably something simple. No I didn't have a doc open since I was just working with prefs and trying to set desktop color. Banging my head now on my desk. Bam! So dumb ...
Thanks so much for solving my problem.

  • Unable to exit full screen mode from any app

    Hi,
    I just upgraded to Mountain Lion today and I noticed something wrong. In Lion I used to be able to exit full screen mode from any app by pressing esc or clicking the exit full screen mode button on the top right corner of the screen. Now neither of those seem to work, in fact the menu bar doesn't even come up when I get the cursor to the top of the screen. Tried this on many apps, some system apps, always the same. The only way I found that works is pressing fn + ctrl + F2 (or ctrl + F2 depending on the function keys setting).
    I checked the console and found this message appears whenever I go into full screen
    WindowServer[79]: CGXRegisterWindowWithSystemStatusBar: window 10 already registered
    Anyone having the same issue?
    Any solutions found?
    MacBook Pro 5,1
    Processor  2,8 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
    Memory  4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  NVIDIA GeForce 9600M GT 512 MB
    Software  OS X 10.8 (12A269)

    Thanks for replying so fast.
    I tried a couple more times and now the esc key method seems to be working, maybe it the cursor focus had something to do with it not working earlier.
    But I still can't get the menu bar to drop down when I get to the top of the screen.
    Did a PRAM reset, but no cigar.
    Do you mean reinstalling over the current installation or installing fresh and recovering from a time machine backup?
    In any case I think I'll wait a little bit more before I do any of that, it really bothers me to have to reinstall the whole system to fix something as insignificant as this. It's still a little annoying though.

  • Changing Screen Mode from Toolbar

    CS2, 4.0.5, Tiger 10.4.11. IMac 2GHz.
    This is a minor problem that's only cropped up recently. I've generally been able to switch screen modes, normal, preview, bleed, slug using the icon at the end of the toolbar. Lately the drop down from that tool only shows the current mode and doesn't allow the other modes to be selected. I've tried trashing preferences with no effect. Anyone else ever observed this behavior, or have a suggested fix to it?

    Is that an Intel machine?

  • The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox.

    The Firefox window pops up on a regular interval (I think every 5 or 10 min) when any other program is being used, even when a film is playing in full screen mode from Firefox. It does not happen if Firefox is not running (i.e. it does not start by itself). The OS is Windows 7 SP1 and this begun after installing the Firefox update 5.0.1. Exactly all programs are updated with the latest version, the computer is clean according to Microsoft Security Essentials. Please solve this problem.

  • Is it possible to use software limits on 7354 board when switching control modes from open to closed or closed to open loop?

    Is it possible to use software limits on 7354 board when switching control modes from open to closed or closed to open loop?

    Hello Richard,
    When you say 'open loop' and 'closed loop', are you referring to running the application in position and torque mode? If not, how exactly are your controlling a servo motor in open loop? 
    In closed loop mode, the encoder values will be used as reference and the motion VIs can be used to configure the software limit as required. Are you currently losing the software limits? If so, how exactly are you losing these values? I am not sure I understood what exactly is happening with software limits in your program, so any more information on this would be useful.

  • Elements 11 - unable to switch editing modes after installing

    Hi, I have just installed Photoshop Elements 11 on a Mac OSX 10.6.8 and I am unable to switch editing modes (quick / guided / expert). In fact, none of the buttons on the top bar responds to my clicks. In addition, I am unable to quit the programme, instead, I have to force quit it each time.

    Thanks for the replies.  I was able to sort this myself after I watched the the following video on how to reset the Adobe preferences:  http://tv.adobe.com/watch/the-complete-picture-with-julieanne-kost/how-to-reset-photoshop- cs6s-preferences-file/   I did the manual reset where I moved only the preference file to another location e.g. the Desktop.  I restarted my computer.  Closed Bridge CS5 that was running in the background and then clicked on Bridge CS6 and the program opened.  I decided to take a chance to see if this won't fix it and was elated when it worked.  Don't ask my why, but it did the job!

  • Remove "Open in Full Screen mode" from multiple files

    Hi there,
    I just discovered today that I could use Javascript with Acrobat.
    I download a lot of ebooks from a certain website that has them all set to open in Full Screen mode.  (Properties > Initial View > Windows Options > [x] Open in Full Screen mode)
    I could fix a lot of stuff that was annoying me with ebooks from this site, but I can't seem to find anything to disable the full screen thingie...
    I tried these commands that I found, but they didn't do the job :
    app.fs.isFullScreen = false;app.fullscreen = false;this.fs.isFullScreen = falsev;this.fullscreen = false;
    Thanks,
    Simo
    PS : Using Actobat X

    Thank you both for your replies.
    With Acrobat Pro you can set the Initial View through the batch process.
    Would you mind explaining how to do this for a noob like me? 
    Thanks,
    Simo

  • How do I stop Full Screen Mode from auto advancing?

    I am attempting to show a PDF slide show in Full Screen Mode. The slides autoadvance and I can't find out how to stop it. I went to Preferences and made sure that the box with the faded 5 sec was not checked for auto advance but the program still advances. Any help?

    I can't get either Acrobat 9 Pro or Reader X to do this and I tried with several PDFs. Unchecked, nothing advances automatically. Maybe someone else has some insite.

  • Unable to switch to trunk from branch checked out with CVS

    Help!
    We've run into a can't get there from here issue of not being able to switch back to the trunk when we've checked out a branch from CVS.
    Using JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.1.0
    Scenario:
    Working on maintained in CVS.
    Create Branch on code B1. (Versioning -> Branch, Branch Name = "B1", Source = "Trunk")
    Now we can't get back to the trunk. When you select switch branch it only shows HEAD. Select that and you end up on some IDE generated tag called "HEAD", where you can't add files or check in changes.
    How can you get back to the trunk?
    rodger...

    Are you aware that "always view this page in IE" isn't a standard feature in Firefox? It's a feature of a Firefox extension, which is why you can't find it on a Firefox help page.
    Check the download page for that particular extension to find out how to change that preference, or tell us which extension that is and we'll look for a FAQ page for that extension.

  • How to open images in Fill Screen mode from Camera Raw

    I am using Photoshop CS4 for Windows. I created an action that executes Fit on Screen and set the Scripts Event Manager to execute that action on the Open Document event. This works when opening a document from Photoshop.
    Here are my questions:
    1) After opening a raw image from Bridge in Camera Raw, when I then open the image in Photoshop, it does not run the Open Document event action to Fit on Screen. What event do I need to set the action to execute on when opening an image from Camera Raw in Photoshop?
    2) I added Fit on Screen to the action by selecting Insert Menu Item from the Actions menu and then selecting View-Fit on Screen. I cannot find Fill Screen on any pull-down menu (the button found on the Hand tool bar). How can I insert the Fill Screen item (which fills the screen a little more than Fit on Screen?
    3) In the Scripts Events Manager, when you select Add an Event, it says Any scriptable event can be entered here. See the Scripting Reference for the full list of Photoshop event names.. On the following Adobe webpage, I found the Adobe Photoshop CS4 Scripting Guide but I did not find a list of Photoshop event names in that document. Where can I find the list of Photoshop event names?

  • Unable to switch to finder from other programs

    Hi,
    The finder does not seem to be working properly and there are several aspects to the problem:
    1) Frequently when in a finder window or on the desktop I will click on a file name while in list view to change it and the name will disappear. If I change to icon view, I can then either stay in icon view or return to list view and then in either case I can change the name. The icon itself is not effected nor have I have not lost any files in the process. I tried deleting the user library preference list for the finder with no effect.
    2) Frequently when using either specifically Safari and/or Preview (current versions) I will be working within those programs, and then attempt to either go to the desktop or a finder window and face the same problem. I am unable to open a finder window or effect a file on the desktop, until I go to the dock or an already open finder window and click on the finder icon in the dock or the finder window sidebar. This also occurs while using a graphics program called EzDraw. These are the three most common programs that have been effected, but these also represent the bulk of times when I am using the computer/ So I do not know if this is a global problem for sure, but I suspect it is.
