Chrome, Mountain Lion and Full Screen Interactive Mode
I'm running into an issue when entering Full Screen (Interactive) Mode-- long story short, the Message and "Allow" button are over-magnified and don't appear on the screen for me to click, thereby making it impossible to use other keystrokes (and see certain things in the interactive game window t'boot).
This issue does not exist in Snow Leapord on an older machine, though the same updated versions of Chrome (and assumedly Flash Player) are at work there.
Any suggestions on something I can tweak-- or even a work-around/hotkey for Allowing FSI Mode?
The actual game screen itself is fine, albeit slightly cut off around the edges.
Man, do you have Sophos antivirus? If that so, you need to uninstall it the right way:
For Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 7.x , go to Macintosh HD|Library|Sophos Anti-Virus.
Select 'Remove Sophos Anti-Virus.pkg'.
Follow the instructions on the screen.
NOTE, if you are running Sophos Anti-Virus for Mac OS X version 4.x, the path in step 1 is Macintosh HD|Library|Application Support|Sophos Anti-Virus.
It seems that Sophos antivirus is crashing ML. They have an update but I'll wait some time becuase I've really had a painful time these days.

In macbook pro with lion os apple gives a full-screen-mode icon in the top right corner of the window, which will be used to open that view in different window. But firefox does not support this. Even chrome supports it.
When will you bring this feature to firefox?. Currently I am in firefox 8.0.1No answers, but Mozilla is aware of the new release of Lion, and hopefully are working on solving some of the known issues. There are some rather formal technical discussions and reports, as mentioned in this contributors thread: [/forums/contributors/707160]

Set screen resolution, and full screen view mode (F11)
Hi,
I have a jsp page which only looks right in 1280x1024. Can I write some kind of code to set the browser to always be 1280x1024 and the view mode to be full screen regardless of the client's setting?
I would like to thank all for responding to my previous questions/problems.Hi,
after all, try <body onload="window.resizeTo(width,height);">. It works for me. You can also turn off navigation bars etc. See http://forums.devarticles.com/javascript-development-22/change-window-size-and-nav-bar-status-on-page-load-2091.html for example - or google "javascript resize window".
However, I don't know of a method to set the window to an F11-like fullscreen mode.
Regards,
Patrik -
A smarter full screen interactive
It would be great if the full screen interactive mode was smarter. It gets very tedious when within a single app/game the user is constantly switching back and forth full screen mode,
There must be a way to make it smarter and less tedious without compromising security.. I am throwing out some suggestions:
1. Provide an option to 'Always allow Interactive mode for this site' (or domain).
OR
2. Provide a checkbox option to 'Always allow Interactive mode for this session'.
OR.
3. Within a single session automatically allow the interactive mode for the current swf if the user already accepted once.
To see what I mean try it here at Lee's website:
http://leebrimelow.com/flash/fullkeys/
Go to full screen mode. Accept. Esc to leave full screen mode. Try going to Full screen mode again. Why is does it need to ask again for my permission? It already asked me once.
I added a feature request a couple of months ago and it was withdrawn.
https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3366434
I am starting this dicussion again, because I am certain that the runtime folks can improve on this..
..and a last point. For reference, Chrome solves this in a pretty elegant way. It provides a pull down menu with 2 options. 'Ask by default', 'Always allow on this site'While we get that the full-screen notification is annoying in the context of some games, it's there for your protection (and as a response to actual real-world security incidents that happened over the years in various products, including Flash). You'll see similar behavior in other browser plug-ins and HTML full-screen content.
Imagine this grossly over-simplified scenario:
- You go to a game site supported by ads from a third-party ad network
- A malicious actor creates and injects a malicious ad into the ad network, and it shows up on your game site (again, real-world example)
- You're playing your game, and your phone rings. It's your cellphone provider and you forgot to pay the bill. They want to take a payment over the phone before they turn it off.
- You tab out of the game and fire up your bank's website to check your balance.
- The malicious ad noticies that you've gone to yourbank.com, and quickly fires up a full-screen window that looks exactly like your browser, displaying the homepage of your bank's website. (That the ad "notices" this action without some other bug in play is a stretch, but useful for illustrating the point.)
- Everything looks normal. The SSL lock icon is there, and the address and website look sane. You type in your credentials.
- Instead of going to your account info, you get a "we're sorry, but we're down for maintenance" message.
- Some kid in the Ukraine gets a new dashcam and a jet-ski.
In reality, there are layers of mitigations along the way that would make this really difficult -- but the motiviation for displaying the full-screen window in Flash is because there's no way to know 100% for sure that the full-screen content is going to be legit. It's a security-in-depth measure.
So that dialog exists basically to say "Hey, if this looks like your web browser, something is very wrong. Hit Escape to get back to reality.".
The best way to get around this would be to encourage the game publisher to also offer the game as an Adobe AIR application. It's basically a desktop version of the Flash game. This removes all of those concerns about what crazy stuff third-party sites can do, because you're operating in the context of a desktop application (where the content you encounter can generally be trusted) vs. the open web (where you should trust very little). -
Trusted Full Screen Interactive
I am working on a flex based app which frequently goes into Full Screen mode. The recent Full Screen Interactive mode is awesome. But is there a way to keep the 'Allow' popup from coming up every single time it goes to Full Screen?
ps. On a completely unrelated note, having access to the traceback in the release version of the player is pretty cool!The danger with interactive full-screen is the potential for creating convincing UI for phishing attacks. We tend to go conservative on that kind of stuff. We'd rather keep you safe and over-communicate than vice-versa.
It's an interesting feature suggestion though, and I can definitely see how it would be nice for a game you play all the time.
The best way to get traction on it would be to file a feature request (and get some votes) over at http://bugbase.adobe.com/
Thanks! -

I just downloaded mountain lion and now my google chrome and spotify wont open. Any help would be appreciated.
Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a diagnostic test. It’s unlikely to solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of the test is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party software that loads automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, or by corruption of certain system caches.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain iMacs. The next normal boot may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin. Test while in safe mode. Same problem? After testing, reboot as usual (i.e., not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of the test. -

Last week I've install Mac OS X Mountain Lion and then after the installation finish my IMAC start up in verbose mode. How can I turn off this mode and start my IMAC normally. I've try to key in the code "sudo nvram boot-args=" in terminal also.
Thank you for all of your answer.I've seen it mentioned on here that a PRAM reset may solve it:
Reset PRAM
Shut down the computer.
Locate the following keys on the keyboard: Command, Option, P and R.
You will need to hold these keys down simultaneously in step 4.
Turn on the computer.
Press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.
Hold the keys down until the computer restarts and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys. -
I just have just downloaded Mountain lion and I wanted to listen to music on my computer screen with my HDMI cable plug into my back of my screen and I wanted to talk to dictation on my regular standard iPhone headphone and I was wondering if it's all possible change your settings Mac Mini to set it so you can listen to those both like your headphones and use the mic in your headphones and there's no settings that would change in the Mac Mini so do there is a flaw in this system or I am just really really really really dumb.
You computer is probably perfectly repairable, but if you want a new one anyway, it is perfectly possible to transfer the data from the faulty one.
But it would be a mistake to simply put the old HD in the new computer.
These are the steps:
Remove Hard drive from faulty computer. (very easy on Unibody MBPs, do-able but not so easy on older MBPs)
Put it in a cheap enclosure
Connect it the new computer
Boot up new computer.
If the new computer has never been run before the Setup Assistant will ask if you want to import your apps, data, settings etc from either another mac, another HD connected to the Mac or a Time Machine back up.
Obviously chose the second option (another HD connected to this Mac) and follow prompts.
If the new computer has already been run (so Setup Assistant doesn't run when you boot it up), you will need to use Migration Assistant...or run the installer again so that Setup Assistant runs again.

I think I finished installing Mountain Lion, and am at the "log in" page with the Mountain Lion icon, but I cannot do any of the functions on screen. That is, I cannot log in, sleep, restart, or shut down. I am running it on an Early 2009 Macbook Pro, which is said to have the capabilities of running Mountain Lion.

...Is there any way I can install a partition that runs snow leopard on my early 2011 MB pro with what I have (new SSD, New RAM, Current version Lion running, no external drive, lack of original snow leopard disks [I lost them ] and the general 10.6.3 snow leopard boot disks)...
As the last post suggests, call Apple and order a replacement original disc for about $17. They will ask you the model and serial numbers.
Your retail version of Snow Leopard OS 10.6.3 will not work on that Mac as it requires a minimum of OS X 10.6.7 to boot and operate.
Another alternative is to again borrow another Mac to install your retail Snow Leopard into an external HD or partition, upgrade it to 10.6.8 and then clone it back to a partition on your MBP. -
Just upgrade my MacBook Pro Mid 2010 to Mountain Lion and tried to connect with Apple TV 3th gen. through Airplay and couldn't mirrorring video on my LG Smart TV screen.

Back again to mini display to hdmi cable.
could you help me????It is stated that mirroring requires recent hardware (2011 or later)

However you can still use 3rd party solutions like Airparrot which do it via software -
I've had this issue since first buying my MBA mid-2013. Instead of going to standby, which works 98% of the time, every now and again it appears to go into standby with the screen black, but no amount of key pressing or mouse moving will wake it up. I am forced to hold down power button for a manual restart and faced with losing work. This problem has occured whilst using Mountain Lion and still occuring since updating to Maverick.

Hi there, GoreLeech,
as per above extract from your error log, you have experienced a kernel panic due to problems with your Nvidea GeForce GT 330 M graphics card that has a 256 MB memory.
This may be due to the card not having enough memory for what you are doing, the only thing, I can suggest here is to call Apple, and get the machine checked out. You can run the Apple hardware test at home but I'd recommend getting it booked in with Apple. What is worse: A computer that randomly malfunctions, or doing without it for up to one week (often they repair it within a day!)? -
(Mountain Lion) suddenly the screen turns black, and I have to use the on/off switch to turn it on. And, the screen turns to zoom, and the only way to return to normal is to close the window and start all over again?
Does the screen go black while you are using the machine? ...or after it has sat idle for a bit?
If it happens while you're using the machine, check to see if a hot corner has been set for sleep. You can do that here: System Preferences > Desktop & Screen Saver > Screen Saver and click the button labelled "Hot Corners..." in the lower right.
If it happens after a bit of idle time, that's normal sleep behavior. The delay can be adjusyed here: System Preferences > Energy Saver.
In either case, pressing any key on the keyboard should bring it out of sleep.
Re zooming -
If this happens while in Safari, and you are using an Apple Magic Mouse, a default setting applicable to it is that a soft double-tap on the mouse will zoom the Safari window. A second double-tap will bring it back.
If it is the entire screen that is zooming, Control plus scroll gesture on the mouse will zoom the whole screen. Repeat with the opposite scroll gesture to bring it back.
