Cannot resize safari window

i can't resize the safari window by hovering over the bottom right corner of the window. I am working on a Macbook Pro and Yosemite.
thanks!

When you hover over the corner do you not see the cursor change to a slanted heavy line with arrows at each end? Do you then click down and then resize the window?

Cannot minimize Safari window

After innstallation of latest MAC OS 10.4.3. I cannot minimize Safari window. Clicking on the yellow center button (minus sign) on top left of the browser window leads to some seconds of "reflection", then nothing happens. The Safari version is 2.0.2 (416.12). Any suggestion ? Would be great. Cheers, Romanzer.

Resize safari window question

Every time i open safari i have to drag the window over to the left so i can see the scroll bar and then i have to resize the window to fit the screen. How can i fix it so the window is always centered and fills the screen whenever i open safari?

You're misunderstanding this. The "Resize to Full Screen" text is a Bookmarklet; you click and drag it to your Bookmark Bar in Safari, then click on it from there to resize your screen. But apparently those don't work in the forums, so here's the raw code:
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);
Create a new Bookmark (copy one if you need to just to get the necessary fields in Safari without creating a folder), copy/paste that code for the Location or URL field, then place it on your Bookmark Bar.

Resizing Safari Window causes blank space

When I resize a safari window using the corner (bottom right) it leave a blank space if I make he page bigger and doesnt fill the page at all unless i press refresh.

You should rather make the site fit the browser window.

surrounding it.
Resizing the browser window is considered _very_ rude, if it
will work
at all - modern browser prevent such abuse of JavaScript.
You should more concentrate on the content and the usability
of the site
to attract visitors. Keeping the layout flexible is usually
the best way
to go. But even if it has to be a fixed-width layout, you
shouldn't mess
with the user's browser settings, but for example center the
entire site
in the browser. Solutions for that are posted here every
second day.

Cannot Resize Finder Windows

Since a couple of days I have sometimes trouble resizing Finder windows in Lion (10.7.1).
Clicking on the green plus-icon does not change anything and trying to resize by going to the edges or corners does not work either. The curser changes to an arrow but nothing happens when dragging.
The other two icons (red and yellow) still work as normal. Closing the window an re-opening the same directory "solves" the problem. The new window is fully resizable again.
Any idea what causes this issue?

I have a feeling SMB might have something to do with it. I used to have problems with permissions behaving correctly when accessing SMB servers in the past. but this is a kind of difficult problem to further diagnose.
On the other hand maybe it is just .DS_Stores making mischief... would it be any harm to delete all the .DS_Stores on the network volumes?
I used to do this periodically with a script because OS X has a habit leaving a trail of both these and apple double files behind for non HFS volumes.

Cannot resize a window

I am new to the Mac and am having a problem. I did a search but couldn't find an answer. I installed Adobe Lightroom and expanded the window to the point where I cannot see either the resize handle or the red, yellow, or green button at the top. I can now do nothing about shrinking or moving this window. Is there a way to resize it from here? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hello van:
Try trashing the preference file (com.apple.finder.plist) and restarting and see if that helps.

Cannot resize media window

The media window cannot be resized. If you can resize the arrange window why can't you make the media window bigger? I'm using 2 24" screens and need to have the audio bin bigger.
When browsing, most audio files characters are long and do not fit in the column view nor is it effecient in list view. You need to be able to browse and audition files quickly, including having AUTOPLAY!!!

Javascript Bookmark to resize Safari Windows

Despite searching all over, I could not easily find how to keep Safari from opening new windows that were just a bit off on the left or the right sides of the screen. I had read tips about making a new window, resizing it and then closing it. Sure enough, the next new window would open with that size and position. But open a 2nd new window and Safari would position it a little bit to the right, thus leaving the scroll bars slightly off the right side of the screen.
So I tried to find a javascript to solve this problem. Nothing did exactly what I wanted, so I have customized what I found and the following works for me:
Step 1) Save any webpage as a bookmark to the Bookmarks Bar (Click "Bookmarks" then "Add Bookmark...", OR Click Apple-D, then choose "Bookmarks Bar", "Add").
Step 2) Open "Bookmarks" "Show All Bookmarks", then choose "Bookmarks Bar" on the left under "COLLECTIONS".
Step 3) Find the bookmark you added in Step 1 and change the Bookmark's name to "Resize Window to Fill screen" or whatever you want (click once on the name and after a delay click a second time, then type).
Step 4) Change the bookmark's address to "javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(1440,screen.availHeight);" (click once on the bookmark's address and after a delay click a second time, then type or copy and paste what is inside the quotation marks above).
Step 5) In any window, click Apple-1 and the window will resize!
Note: I have a 17" iMac. For different size screens, just play around with the number "1440" in the javascript above. Make it larger or smaller until it is the exact size you want. Also, if you add new bookmarks to the Bookmarks bar, it may change the keyboard shortcut number for this "Resize Window" bookmark. You can always drag to reorder the bookmarks. The top ones will have keyboard shortcuts "Apple-1", "Apple-2", etc.
Hope this helps someone else!

This helped me, and thanks again!!

ITunes window stuck at the top - cannot resize the window

Is this part of some glitch that's running around?
When I open iTunes (11.2.2 running on 10.9.3) - the top bar is extended above the top of my screen - so I can't resize it - the red, yellow and green buttons are all out of sight - above - and I've tried everything to get them back - everything is cut off at the top.
Any simple solution, I'm sure?

So this is what it looks like - and it's not on full screen mode - I can't access the red, yellow or green buttons to resize - I can resize the sides and bottom - but can't click on the very top to drag it down - and when I play music - you can't see what track is playing or the scrub bar (?) - only if I then go into full screen mode. But no matter what I do - iTunes always opens stuck at the top.

Cannot move or resize any window

Safari window not resizing

I am running Safari 5.1.9 on OS X 10.6.8. For the last few days, Safari windows always open at exactly the same size, and there is nothing I can do to resize them.
The resize button in the bottom right corner doesn't respond. The green maximise button on the top left doesn't do anything.
I have tried:
* restarting
* forcing Safari to open links in a new window
* emptying Safari's cache
* resetting Safari
* trashing Safari's preferences
* turning off all plugins
* trashing com.apple.windowserver.plist
* starting Safari in 32-bit mode
* beating my head slowly against the screen
This seems to be a problem only with one user. When I switch to another user, Safari behaves itself very well.
My system software is up to date.
Any ideas?

Try deleting the cache this way. Might make a difference.
In the effected account, open a Finder window. From the menu bar top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type of copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari and try resizing the window.

Cannot resize windows from all sides? Just the 1 corner??

Hi all,
I've just switched back to Mac in the past year after 6 years with Windows. While in no way do I prefer windows overall, I cannot understand why Mac has not made all four sides of a given window 'grabbable' for resizing.
This is a massively inconvenient situation when you consider how often many of us need to resize/compare windows, particularly when switching to new computers, uploading files, etc.
Am I missing the solution? Is there a script available?
All I find on here are pointers to windowdragon and it requires APE which I prefer to avoid. Is there REALLY no OEM solution to this???
Thanks in advance for any enlightenment on this...

Adding that feature wouldn't pose a problem for you, though, as you wouldn't have to use it (though I bet you would in time). For people switching to mac after years on the PC, this is in fact a much-lamented issue.
Since it wouldn't hurt 'the people who don't care' to add the functionality, but the vast majority of Windows converts would be happier, it only makes sense, from a marketing standpoint, to add the feature.
People who aren't in the habit of using the feature (like yourself) quite naturally don't care much, but if you ARE in the habit of using it, it's quite annoying to have to draw the mouse all the way across the screen to find some dumb little spot (how I feel about it) when you know full well there is a more efficient way to handle the issue, and you're quite accustomed to it.
Consider this: I CAN use windows XP like a mac, in that I CAN go down to the bottom right corner to resize the window. If that were actually the superior method to resize the window, in every circumstance, I would naturally already be working with it that way. And of course I wouldn't notice there's a difference.
But it's not a superior manner of handling the 'resize' issue when your mouse is way ovver somewhere else on the screen. While this might sound like much ado about nothing, when you consider how nice it is to remove or simplify repetitive tasks, it's really a major annoyance.
But me, I'm an early adopter of the latest solutions for simplicity in the interface. I also have the new Logitech NuLOOQ ToolDial device, which has some real promise too.
Allowing users to resize the windows from any border on the window is a good idea, and not a bad idea, no matter how you look at it. It would cause no problem for anyone, yet help/satisfy many people, particularly those coming from the ONLY major opportunity Apple has to gain market share - windows users.
To be clear, this isn't a pro-windows rant, I'm just completely peeved with this one majorly annoying 'missing link' in an OS I otherwise like quite a lot. Implementing this feature wouldn't seem to be a major software engineering feat for the likes of Apple, so what's the holdup?

Cannot resize collapse/expand window when no project is open

Using Premier Pro CC 2014 on Windows, when I first launch Premier and no project is open, I cannot resize the Premier window, nor can I collapse or expand it. Is that just a bug?

Post a screen grab please.
I am interested to see where you are in this "issue".

Cannot locate Safari toolbar - specifically trying to find VIEW using windows

Cannot locate Safari toolbar - it disappeared. My seach has said to find the View but it is not on my toolbar. I am using windows 7.

With that one, let's try the following user tip:
Safari for Windows: getting your bars back

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back

The red, green and yellow buttons in the upper left corner of the screen disappear whenever I open Safari. I cannot minimize the Safari window which I often need to do if I am coordinating multiple windows between different applications. Does anyone know how to get those buttons back? I guess I could just switch betwen appliations, but I am used to doing it the other way.

You're welcome
You had Safari in full screen mode.
