Cursor Disappears After I Return From VIewing Web Video In Full Screen Mode

After I view a video from a web site in full screen mode using Safari v6.0.1 or Firefox v15.0.1, I escape to normal screen mode. When I then try to move the cursor using the built-in trackpad, I am unable to see the cursor anywhere on the screen. I do, however, see some artifacts of the cursor's movement in the text contained in the window and in the text of the menu bar as the cursor passes them.
What can I do to eliminate this "inconvenience"?

Can't view YouTube videos in full screen mode

This is a strange one. This problem is only happening on my son's account on his Mac Mini. We have several user accounts on that machine. On my account, I can watch a video on YouTube and click on the "full screen" icon to watch it full screen, but on his account clicking on the full-screen icon does nothting. I did a system update and found a new version of Safari and installed it. Still no fix (for him). Installed the latest flash plug-in for Safari, but the problem still persists. I assume it has something to do with some personal settings? I looked in the ~/Library/Safari folder, but not sure what to blow away.
Any help would be appreciated.
Merry Christmas and happy holidays!

The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.

How to display web interface in full screen mode

Hi,
I would like to view my web interface in full screen mode in internet explorer. Is there anyway we can switch off the toolbars and URL automatically while calling the web interface
Thanks
SR

Hello SR,
I don't think it is possible to do this directly in the web interface. Otherwise many websites would change your browser settings.
It's possible to set the window properties, when the window is opened from JavaScript for example. So you could create a dummy start page and add some JavaScript to open a window for the web interface with the settings you require. Here's a good page that explains it:

Impossible to view videos in full screen mode

I realise an animation in Flash thinking it will allow to produce a more powerfull presentation than Powerpoint. It includes some videos of about 1' in .fl4 format that are in a separate file. I published this animation in .swf; and in standalone projectors for Mac and PC .exe and .app. It works well in normal mode, videos are running perfectly. But in Full screen it blocks when it get to a frame with a video, showing a black screen and freezing the animation. It does exactly the same with checking, unchecking "material acceleration" both in the Flash player when running the .exe or .swf or .app file or in the exportation (publication) parameters of the .fla file. I also try to play the .swf file in Chrome or Firefow instead of Flash Player : same problem. It does also the same on the several machines (Windows and Mac) of a museum that is supposed to run the presentation. I used Plash Player 10, then 11 and 12 version : same problem.
Result : in normal mode the presentation is dirty and it is really ruining more than three weeks of hard work.
I get through hundreds of Google searches without finding any solution.
Thank for your help. Before tomorrow if possible...

Think of Full Screen Mode like a browser that let's you watch a movie. If you stop before it ends, it remembers your place and lets you take up where you left off the next time you come back.
Move your cursor down toward the bottom middle of the full screen view. You will see a cover flow view, and you can select the project you want to view.

When I try to view a video in "Full Screen", all I get is a white screen. How do I view a video in full screen in Firefox?

The problem occurs when I am trying to view videos on various websites in full screen instead of smaller screen viewing.

I have a wbsite appearing on the left side of the screen I cannot get rid of preventing me from viewing current website on full screen. How do I get rid of it?

Above the website on the left it says "how to econ" I think I may have clicked on that when it appeared next to a site I had bookmarked. However the site appearing on the left is not the one I was trying to access. The site on the left takes up about two inches of screen and I cannot get rid of it.

Well, i run two monitors. my primary is a LG and i extend my desktop too a secondary amtranas monitor. the LG one is high def wide screen and my secondary amtranas one is just a regular 4:3 Monitor which i use as a tv..
what i want to do is watch video's on the secondary monitor in full screen through itunes and still be able to do work on the primary monitor. but when i go in full screen mode on the secondary monitor using itunes... it blacks out my primary one too.
is their a way too tell itunes too only play video's on one screen and not black out the others? i dont think its a nvidia setting, cause itunes is the only program that does this. so far the only way i can counter this is just too watch the video in a window..

G"Green Screen" codec problem viewing podcast videos in full screen! HELP!

I love the show "Surface" on NBC so I decided to download the first pilot episode #101 to iTunes for Windows on my computer. When I go to "full screen" mode to watch the program it goes to a "green screen" washout that is common when Quicktime is installed whether the version 1.68 alternative or the Apple Quicktime. How do I solve this common known problem?

I have the same problem, anything I try to do in full screen just pops right back down to the previous screen. If I play a video I can hear it, but I can't see it.

Safari unable to view menu bar in full screen mode

Been using Lion for a while now and everything seems fine, except for some reason when Safar is in full screen mode and I move the mouse up to the toolbar, the file menu and shortcuts bar doesn't appear now. It worked yesterday... now it won't. I quit safari completely, opened it back up and it still wont. Next will be a reboot...

Thanks, I rebooted and it came good, but if it happens again i'll try that

IPad Web App full screen mode Network Connectivity Retry Option

Hi,
I have developed a web application in HTML5 for iPad (full screen mode). Now I am testing the application on iPad for connectivity scenario i.e. to see how the app behaves when the connectivity is lost and then resumed after some time.
Steps -
Launch the web application in full screen mode from home screen (connected to a wifi network).
Click on any button to submit the form and at the same time turn off external wifi modem.
A pop-up message appears with the options to close or retry.
Now turn on the modem and click on retry.
The expectation is that on clicking retry the data in the web form should be sent to the web server, but instead of POST request, a GET request is being sent. Because of this, the data filled in the form is lost as the page is simply refreshed.
Can anyone please help me in resolving this issue.
Thanks

This is more of a feature of the browser already.
With iOS6, Mobile Safari on the iPhone introduced full-screen browsing support in landscape mode.

One isn't able to take advantage of this feature in portrait mode though. However, the meta tag you're referring to in order to hide Safari UI Components requires the webapp to be added to the Homescreen; then when you launch the site through the icon on the Homescreen, you would find the UI components hidden.
Also, the latest version of Chrome for iOS released a couple of days ago includes the ability to view pages in fullscreen as well (for both landscape and portrait modes) with scrolling gestures enabling the hiding and showing of the omnibox and toolbar while navigating down a page.

How To Make Screen Controls Disappear In Full Screen Mode?

I downloaded Quicktime 7.2 and even though I have selected Edit/Preferences/Player Preferences/Full Screen and under Controls, Display Full Controls, Hide after 2 seconds -
When I am watching a video in full screen mode, for example the latest Keynote Address by Steve Jobs, the control panel which accesses Stop/Pause/Fast Forward etc., does not disappear regardless of how long I wait. Additionally the mouse pointer does not disappear either.
I have to move the mouse pointer off the screen and/or move the Control Panel all the way down out of the way for it not to be visible.
If I Deselect the "Display Full Screen Controls", then of course the controls do not appear, however the mouse still stays on the screen in full screen mode.
How do I correct this. The Windows Media Player functions perfectly when I watch movies in full screen - controls disappear and so does the mouse. If I move the mouse, they reappear then disappear again after a few seconds.
Any advice in correcting this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, this is annoying, however I'm glad you 2 guys finally posted. This is what I've found out so far. If you delete the .plst file (do a search for for it), it appear that it will be recreated again by Quicktime. That cured the problem with the Control Panel disappearing after the preset time set in preferences. However, the pointer will not disappear. I tried to uninstal and reinstall and also view different movies, but it will not disappear.
So give that a shot and see if that resolves 50% of the problem. In Media Player, the control panel and pointer disappear in Full Screen mode. In Quicktime there seems to be a quirk. I've searched on this forum, but have not been able to find any other threads that indicatd a resolution to this issue. So let's hope that someone does or that Apple figures out the problem and issues an updated version for this.
There was a new update that I received over the past few days and I was hoping this would resolve this issue, but it didn't.
I've also read here that going to Windows Safe Mode and activating QT, watching a movie, then going back to normal mode fixes some issues. I've tried that too, but the pointer just will not disappear.
I've tried disabling the Control Panel and then it won't appear at all, but the mouse pointer always does and the only way is to move it physically off the screen. When you move it the Control Panel will appear for a few seconds, then disappear again.
Try these things out and comment on what you discover.

Can't see TV shows purchased from Music Store in Full Screen Mode

Prior to the release of iTunes 7.0, I had been purchasing episodes of LOST from the iTunes Music Store and watching the episodes on my Mac in Full Screen viewing mode.
Since downloading iTunes 7.0, I have been unable to watch any television shows purchased from the Music Store from that date forward in Full Screen mode. When I select iTunes>View>Full Screen I can hear the audio, but I cannot see the image. Instead, my monitor goes totally black. If I select iTunes>View>Fit to Screen, I am able to see the video, however, the video does not fill up my screen...instead, I have about two inches of desktop showing on either side of the image. Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can once again watch purchased television shows in Full Screen mode?
By the way, I am now running iTunes 7.0.2.
Power Mac G4 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Alan, I just checked and I don't see a section for TV shows in the Canadian store. As the initial deal was made with ABC, I doubt that there is any content available yet for you. I do see the pixar section and the music video section, however.
Similarly, a visit to the Apple Canada site shows no mention of being able to download TV shows.
As with the music, it is going to take a separate lisence to bring TV content to each store. If and when that is going to happen, no one around here would be able to say.

In IO7 how can I view my music videos in full screen?

Downloaded IO7 onto my 4S and now I cannot view my music videos in full screen. Why would I pay $3.39 for a music video from the iTunes store when I can't view the videos in full screen. The video player does it but you can't create playlists, repeat etc so that is not an option.

I do not understand what you want to do. Please rephrase the question.
