Can not exit full-screen in iPhoto

iPhoto 9.6 under Mac OSX 10.10.1
Will not exit full screen.  'Exit Full Screen' command has no effect.  Restarting the application does not help. Deleting the plist also does not help.
Any suggestions?
Steve

Did you restart your Mac after deleting the plist?
If not, delete it again and restart.
Delete
your Home folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
and the complete folder
        your Home folder/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto

  • I can't exit full screen mode and there are no navigation areas like I used to have.

    I just loaded Foxfire 4.0. I tried out full screen mode and cannot get back to the original mode. Even more annoying is that there doesn't seem to be any way to open new tabs or show the items that I used to keep at the top of my start screen. It's annoying enough to have to learn a new version without having to start from scratch as it were. Why can't new versions let you keep some of the old familiar places from before??? I'm seriously considering trying to go back to my old version. HELP ME!!

    You could go back to the old version but it is relatively easy to make firefox 4 look and behave more like firefox 3.6, although there could be disadvantages in doing that. see [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]]
    Keyboard key '''F11 should toggle full screen on or off''' as before
    Touching the top edge of the screen with the mouse pointer should also display toolbars.
    The menubar and bookmarks toolbar do not display by default in firefox 4, if you are not using a Mac it will display the firefox button. Alt or f10 will temporarilly display the menubar toolbar, even if the firefox button is displayed, from the option
    * '''View -> toolbars -> [x] menu bar [x]bookmarks toolbar'''
    you may set the bars to display permenantly if you wish.
    Another change is the''' tabs on top''' again settable from the view menu or the firefox button. see [[why are tabs on top]]

  • ITunes will not exit Full Screen Mode.

    It automatically boots into a Full screen desktop, and has no menu bar on top hover. I have hovered and pushed to every corner, no menu drops down. I need to be able to turn off full screen. WIthout a magic mouse or touchpad, I cannot switch out of it easily. This stinks!!

    Welcome to Apple Support Communities
    First, open System Preferences > General, and make sure that "Close windows when quitting an application" is marked. Then, open iTunes and press the Esc key to get out of full-screen, and close iTunes. The next time it starts, it should be in a classic window

  • Can not see full screen to set-up my ipod.

    i have downloaded itunes and connected my ipod it is showing the page to set up my ipod but l am unable to see the right side of the screen where the continue button should be. I have removed itunes and re-installed and l'm still having this problem. Any ideas???

    You probably need to increase your screen resolution.
    Right click in your desktop and select Properties>>Settings.

  • FM9: Exiting Full Screen Mode?

    How can you exit full screen mode in FM9? the only way I could do it was by closing all of my files, quiting FM, and relaunching FM.
    There seems to be no shortcut key associated with bringing the program out of full-screen mode. If you can see the menu bar, you can't select Standard Screen Mode.
    BTW: There is no documentation of Full Screen in the FM 9 User's Guide.

    Thanks for the tips. Right-clicking is a nice one, since it depends where you click and there is no intuitive guidance on that. I do not think that this can be viewed as purely a documentation issue. It is a design issue: if there is an option to change screen modes, it should be included in the View menu, just like it was done in Photoshop. That is the obvious location where you would go look for it. And even in Full Screen Mode, using the Alt key brings up the menus, so there is an easy escape without having to consult the help files or forums to found out hidden tricks. As technical authors, we should not accept the blame when it is shoved on our plates by user interface designers who obviously made a mistake here. Yes, it should also have been included in the documentation but that is not the only action that should be taken.
    Another option of course is to take the feature out of FrameMaker altogether. Why would I want to enter Full Screen Mode in an editor, anyway? I know I did, as I was checking out features that I had not seen before. But what's the point of this feature for this program ?
    I agree that it's not only a doc bug, but an UI design bug. Consider filing a report to help improve the next release.
    If you're only using FM as a text editor, you're losing out on its visual layout abilities.
    Full-screen viewing enlarges the useful work area. Users who are comfortable working with keystroke shortcuts may prefer both the increased space, and decreased clutter.
    Some space-pinching practices that can benefit from more space include viewing a document's two-up page spreads, and tiling multiple documents. For example, using a narrowed TOC, index, or generated list of cross-references adjacent to a wider document page, to navigate through documents, "hyper-clicking" (Ctrl+Alt+Click) in the generated document and moving the insertion point to the linked destination, while not losing sight of the jumping-off-point.

  • How can I get full screen to work with utube in google chrome?

    When I use utube in google chrome I can not get full screen to work. How can I fix this?

  • IPhoto:  I clicked Enter Full Screen by mistake, now I can't get out of it. The button in View to exit full screen does not work.  I cannot see any other way to exit full screen.  In full screen, I cannot see my events, nor can I do any quick fixes.

    I accidentally got into Full Screen mode in iPhoto, and can't figure out how to get out of it.  The last item in View is unresponsive (Exit full Screen).  I've looked online but can't find any way to get out of iPhoto full screen--no arrows show on top right or bottom right.  I cannot find 'events' or crop photos, the only option I have is to scroll through a certain number of photos that I don't want to see.  Please, I just want to get out of Full screen mode.  Please help.  Thanks.

    Give this a try:
    1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
         User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
    2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
    3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
    NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite,  go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
    where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

    I'D LIKE TO VIEW SAFARI WHERE I CAN STILL DISPLAY MY DOCK AND MENU BAR...DO NOT WANT FULL SCREEN.  HOW DO I DO THIS?

    You can also go up to "View," and look all the way down to "Exit Full Screen."
    Command+Control+f will toggle it off and on.

  • Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

    This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

    Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
    I agree - it is for sure a bug.

  • I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV.  Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection.  Anyone can help?

    I am using iPad 3 and I try to use 30-pin Digital AV adaptor for mirroring on my Samsung HD TV.  Unfortunately it is not a full screen projection.  Anyone can help?

    The iPad Screen is almost square, HD TVs are rectangular so will never be full screen.  When watching movies, the movies native aspect ratio will be used rather than the iPads screen aspect ratio so will look full screen if the movie is full screen, but most likely will be seen in wide screen letter box format. with black bars across the top and bottom as that what most movies from iTunes are in, format wise

  • Can I get a full screen on iphoto without the toolbar at the bottom?

    can I get a full screen on iphoto 11 without the toolbar at the bottom?

    It depends on which version of iPhoto you're using.  iPhoto 7 and earlier  the answer is yes.  iPhoto 11, no..  If you're using 11 and want to complain the send your requests to Apple via http://www.apple.com/feedback/iphoto.html.

  • Can not stream full hd videos from iPhoto macbook library

    Hello,
    for some reason I can not stream full hd videos from my macbook iphoto libary to apple tv3! It streams 720p videos but full hd videos taken by my camcorder are unable to watch on my apple tv, if I want to stream it directly from iphoto on my macbook.
    Any ideas what the problem could be?
    Thank you and greetz from the Black Forrest / Germany

    Hi. My camera is a Canon 600D. And yes my videos are stored in the Aperture library and they are not referenced. Even then I tried to select all the videos in Aperture and clicked 'consolidate masters' and there was a messge that said all 'none of the files are referenced',... so they didn't need consolidating.
    I also tried preferences> export> external video editor > choose > iMovie. And then right click on the video to edit with imovie. Even then the video didn't show up in iMovie. It seems like the only option for me is to import the videos directly to iMovie which means there will be two versions of the same file stored in my computer eating up space.
    APPLE. What are you doing?

  • I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. How to fix

    I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. I deleted this from my apps and then deleted iphoto from my purchases in macbook app store the search it the app store and it says it has still been installed. What can I do to fix it?

    Well deleting it from your machine was not the way to go.
    Deleting it from your Purchases List was definitely not the way to go.
    So, I'm not really sure how you're going to reinstall it.
    But figure that out and we can try help. Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They should be able to get it back on your purchases list so you can reinstall it.

  • Want Keynotes' presenter's display to be NOT in full screen

    Hello,
    I do live music shows on a Single MacBook Pro. Retina Display, Running 10.10.1
    In my show I run Keynote for visuals (always on a secondary large TV via HDMI out) and I run Audio via MainStage from the Logic Suite.
    I want to be able to exit work in MainStage, (switching songs, changing volumes etc.)  WITHOUT interrupting Keynotes Video display or pictures, text, videos etc.
    How can I do this.
    The only way to play a slide show is to play it, and when it plays it automatically turns the presenter's display to full scree, thereby locking me out of access to MainStage, or any other software.
    Any way to play a Keynote slide show NOT in full screen for the presenter's display????
    please help.

    When Keynote is in play, no other applications will be seen as Keynote takes over complete control of the graphics system, if you switch from Keynote to another application, Keynote will be hidden. Keynote has always worked this way.
    We use two Macs to be able to display Keynote and a second  application.
