Version 7.2.0 full screen mode does not appear in external display

I just upgraded to Version 7.2.0. The new full screen mode is fabulous. But, when the video starts, it moves the QuickTime window from my giant, external monitor to my laptop monitor. Is there some way to view video in full screen mode on my external monitor?
Cheers,

Here's a solution I thought should work for QuickTime(not pro):
When you plug in an external monitor and choose to extend your desktop there is an extra tab in the "Display Settings" window for "arrangement". So, obviously on this page you can arrange your screens and decide which side you want your external monitor to extend your desktop on. Also, you can hold and drag the menu bar giving you the option of putting the menu bar on your external screen. So, one would think that the display that has the menu bar on it should be used as your default display. So, you would also think that QuickTime Player, when put into full screen mode, would use your "default" display to go into full screen. This seems logical, and possibly even desired behavior from a computer.
However, this is not the case. When I gave this a try no matter where you put your menu bar the QuickTime Player will always open its full screen mode in your MacBook Pro's display. What I propose is some how (though I'm unsure of how to do this) contact apple with a feature request that would allow you to explicitly set a default display and to have all applications use that display for when it goes into full screen.

The Full Screen icon does not appear in Firefox 16.0.2 on Mac OS 10.6.8, and command+shift+F does not close the full screen view.

I accidentally entered full screen view and was unable to exit. The Firefox Help article at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-make-firefox-and-websites-go-full-screen?esab=a&s=full+screen+mac&r=0&as=s says I should see a Full Screen View icon in the upper right-hand corner of the Firefox window. That icon not there. I cannot find it. It does not appear in either the full screen or non-full screen views.
Further, the Help article's advice to exit full screen view by using the keyboard sequence command+shift+F does not work. I had to unplug my iMac and reboot. Firefox then opened in non-full screen view.
Ideally, hitting the Escape key would cause Firefox to exit full screen view.

I forgot one detail. This happened while I was having trouble seeing the mouse cursor (I use Apple's Magic Mouse). It had disappeared briefly. I had to drag the cursor out of the Firefox Window for it to reappear. I accidentally entered full screen view while the cursor was not visible.

Photoshop: full screen mode shortcut not working

photoshop: full screen mode shortcut not working, if i press shirt+alt+ctr key then i delete the file, what happen ?

Could you elaborate?
F is the default shorcut for »Change Screen Mode« for me, so I’m not sure what you want with the qualifier keys.
Have you changed your Edit > Keyboard Shortcut?

Camera App>Options:

In normal view, half the page disappears off right of screen. in full screen this does not happen. what can be done to correct the screen ratio for normal screen?

version 5 loaded on windows 7. all went well for a while. one day while using, ratio of normal screen doubled in width; i.e. half the page disappears off the screen to the right (on a wide screen). when full screen mode applied, ratio is fine. it only happens in normal view, which is the usually prefered option. I cannot determine any means within the program to resize the normal screen. nothing else is affected, only mozilla firefox in normal view. not that when program is opened from keyboard the page is correct for a moment, then enlarges the width with 1/2 page dissappearing.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

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?

Lock screen wallpaper does not appear in the lock screen

I just reset my iphone 4 running iOS5 and set it up as a new iPhone. Everything appeared fine until I noticed the Lock Screen wallpaper I assigned does not appear after I lock it. The home screen wallpaper does. I hope someone can tell me how to fix this.

Clamshell mode does not appear to work with Mountain Lion installed

Installed Mountain Lion on an 11" MacBook Air last Friday night. Now the MBA does not work in clamshell mode at work with an external monitor. It does not appear to wake or connect to the monitor.

IPod continually asks to be restored/Screen Black/Does not appear in Disk Managment

Okay, I have a 4th generation iPod Touch that was on version 4.2.1. I decided to update to an already downloaded version of 4.3.3. I Manually update by holding shift and clicking restore (I had save music and made a backup already). To do this I forced my ipod into recovery mode or DFU mode or whatever... After the restore went through, it finished and then it showed me that the iPod still needed to be restored so I restored it again. This continues on in an infinite loop of restoring. I started googling and found something about change the disk letter of your ipod in order to fix the problem of infinite looping restores but it seems that when I access Disk Managment, my iPod does not show. I had also realized that my iPod shows in iTunes as "iPod" but windows does not recognize it at all in the explorer. My ipod is around less than a year old. When I plug my ipod in, it make the connection noise. I have no idea what is going on and I've tried everything!

Restore loop (being prompted to restore again after a restore successfully completes): This issue is typically caused by out-of-date or incorrectly configured third-party security software. Please followTroubleshooting security software issues if USB troubleshooting does not resolve this issue.

Native resolution does not fill entire external display

I've got one of the original MacBook Pros with the Mobility Radeon X1600 hooked up to a Samsung P2350G display (it's a 23" LCD panel.) The native resolution on the display is 1920x1080.
The display has inputs for both VGA and DVI. The DVI port however is used by a desktop PC already, so I use a DVI to VGA adapter on the MacBook Pro, and use the laptop panel as a secondary display.
The problem is that when I set the external display to its native resolution, I get vertical letterboxing and some flickering along the edges of the image. It does not horizontally fill the whole display as it should. I have tried the same adapter on the PC and it worked fine (though with rather spotty image quality.)
Resolutions that are lower than 1920x1080 work fine and fill the whole display properly. I'm not exactly sure what the issue is. The laptop is only semipermanently attached to the large display so I can live with a reduced image quality there, but the flickering, slightly distorted image is just not acceptable right now.

Sounds like it might be a sync issue. Have you tried powering the monitor off and then back on with the MBP connected to it? How about just temporarily disconnecting the DVI cable from the desktop PC and using that to plug into the MBP.

Starcraft lags in full screen mode but not minimzed mode, hardware issue?

hi
recently ive noticed that starcraft ( fully updated ) in fullscreen mode lags incredibly, pratically beyond being playable, im not sure what this is due to, but in minimized mode it plays just fine, the game is really old and i dont really see any software reason for this.
here are some relevant notes
my computer was affected by the nvidia issue and the part was replaced less than a year ago, so i dont think its the video card, or could it be?
my computer has been heating up a bit for like 3 months, i recently downloaded the smc fan control to control that and its been fine since then
i ran the hardware test that came with the comp and everything seems to be fine
i ran techtools pro too and everything it checked seemed to be fine
dont know what else to say, this kinda confused me, if anyone knows anything, i would be greatful

I cant say I've tried starcraft on it but I have played WoW on mine, extensively. And it does the same for me, suggesting its a matter of software design... since they are both from Blizzard.
Its quite a notable difference too...

When I am viewing a video clip online and switch to full screen it does not play right. It becomes a sloppy streamed video. It used to play perfectly. How do I fix it back?

Recently I opened Microsoft IE after a long period on not using it. I installed bingbar but have uninstalled it. When installing it said to disable realplayer download switch which I assume it did. Not sure it the problem started with that or not.

Does it help if you make the Find bar (Ctrl+F) or the Add-ons bar (Ctrl+/) (Firefox > Options or View > Toolbars) visible?

Blue screen option does not appear in iMovie '11.

Hey!
I am running OS X Lion on a 3 year old MacBook. It's been running great...until today.
I am trying to add a background to a blue screen clip. I've done it before in Snow Leopard on this machine. This is my first attempt in Lion.
I have enabled "Advanced Tools" in iMovie '11. However, when I try and drag a background over a clip in Event Viewer, I don't get the green "+" symbol, and the background will only land either at the beginning of the clip, or at the end of the clip.
I have deleted my iMovie plist. No joy. I have deleted the Library/System Preferences folder. No joy.
I have created a new user. No joy.
I am completely out of ideas. Anyone? Anyone?

You were correct...I had the order reversed. What a bonehead!
I hate the way Lion re-opens windows at startup and had done a tweak to stop it from doing so. The "tweak" involved a terminal command and, of course, I quickly forgot what I had done. I convinced myself that I had disabled the ability of the OS to save, or enable, a change in program preferences. Man, what tangled webs (pun intended) we weave.
Well, it's all good now. Thank you very much for your advice.
