Dock won't hide in full screen mode

When editing pictures in full screen mode, the dock does not disappear. I don't think it's always been this way -- I could swear that it used to disappear, which is what I want it to do. With the way it is now, i have to manually hide the dock in order to get to the bottom picture editing toolbar.
Perhaps the issue is unrelated to iPhoto, because whenever I change a dock setting by right-clicking in the space bewteen the left and right parts of the dock, I have to choose the option twice before the setting sticks.
Does anybody have any suggestions?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
Seems like a Dock issue rather than an iPhoto one. Does it also happen with other full-screen apps: for instance, with iTunes Visualiser in Full Screen mode?
What might be worth trying is to trash the com.apple.dock.plist file from the home / library / preferences folder. You'll need to log out and back in. This will reset the dock to the out-of-the-box settings. You'll need to make your settings again.

Dock wont go away in Full Screen mode

When entering full screen mode <F> the Finder Dock is still visible - it didn't use to be....

Command + Option + D is the universal command to make the Dock appear and dissapear.

Firefox won't stay in full screen mode

Whenever I navigate away from a page or switch tabs in full screen mode, firefox goes out of it. I find this particularly annoying and I don't remember having this problem in earlier versions. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
edit: Just discovered it was an issue with the extension "ImageTweak"

Hi,
Which method did you use to get Internet Explorer to open as full mode?
I have no dual monitor to do a test. however, you could try the kiosk mode, unless you remove the "-k" parameter, it won't toggle out of kiosk mode.
The detailed steps is below:
1. Right click the shortcut you used to open the Internet Explorer.
2. Select its properties, in the Shortcut tab, click
Target text box, move your cursor to the very end of the text in it.
3. Type " -k" at the end without quotation marks. You must precede the hyphen with a space as below.
4. Click Apply and OK to finish it.
Note: Through this method, you must close the entire browser using a keyboard shortcut, such as "Alt-F4" or "Ctrl-W."

Firefox 14.0.1 Won't Start in Full Screen Mode

Firefox 14.0.1 for Mac doesn't appear to retain the full screen mode setting on shut down. It starts in "non-full screen" mode on start.
I've tried safe mode startup, set to full and shut down, but it still doesn't keep the setting.
Help appreciated

This appears to be a bug in the new Mac full screen feature - https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=758249
So there doesn't appear to be a way to fix this at the moment other than waiting for this to get fixed in a future release.

DVD Player won't open in Full Screen Mode

I'm trying to run an unattended DVD during our opening hours and have everything set up to run automatically except for this.
I've checked all the appropriate boxes in the DVD player preferences (Open in Full Screen mode, start DVD upon player opening, etc.), but still no joy. Even if it's in full screen mode when it shuts down it will open in minimized format.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks!
Patrick

And you set it in System Preferences>CDS & DVDs, change "When you insert a video DVD:" to Run Script..., then choose that script you just saved?
Yes.
Does it work then when you insert a DVD?
I will if I insert the DVD, but the way I have it set the computer shuts down at the end of the day and the DVD stays in the tray. When the computer starts up the next day (automatically through the Energy Saver schedule) it will begin to play, but always in the reduced size.
Is there a way to create a script that has the DVD eject when it shuts down?

Dock won't unhide with full screen

Using Safari in full screen. I have Dock positioned at bottom. Start full screen, dock hides. Move cursor to bottom of screen to access dock and it will not un-hide. Come out of full screen and Dock is normal. I have Turned Auto Hide off, tried different sizes and it has the same problem. Position Dock to Side and same problem. Sometimes I can get it to appear but there is no rhyme nor reason to it. <Option><Command><D> does not un-hide it. The only reliable way is to come out of full screen. Thanks

That should help..
Just run your cursor all the way down to the dock -- wait--- contuine with the same motion of the mouse and it will show.. key is to just move the cursor all the way down,, it will disappear for the most part.

The Dock keeps returning in Quicktime full screen mode

Hi all, hope someone has some insight as this is really starting to get to me...
when watching stuff in QT every time at some point the dock will reappear on top of the movie and i will have to cmd+F out and back in to get rid of it, sometimes it comes up within minutes other times it can take up to 30 mins or so... its been happening for a few months now... i have noticed if i have adium open with my contact list on auto hide to the side that it will come up with the dock but will promptly autohide again, where as the dock stays visible.
Thanks
Harro

I had this problem a while back when i upgraded from Tiger, then somewhere along the way, one of the updates fixed it. I recently did a clean format and created a new user account, lo and behold, it's back... This time with Adium X too!

How to disable dock in full screen mode?

Hi, every time im full screen the dock are bugging me. Exemple, when i'm on Facebook on Google Chrome in full screen and I want to write something in the chat, the dock pop-up. Is there a way to disable dock when i'm in full screen mode? I'm on a MBP mid 2012 running Maverick.
Thanks you!

Alternatively you can use the same principle anywhere on the screen, you do not have to scroll to the bottom. Simply move the cursor to the screen edge where your dock is then move the cursor the same direction again. You do have to briefly pause between the two movements but you can do this anywhere the dock is located, it does not have to be at one position on the screen. That should speed things up a bit and prevents the dock from appearing by inadvertently scrolling to the side or the bottom.
If you can, get a Magic Trackpad, Lion navigation works very well with one of these, I think that the days of the mouse are numbered. The numbers of gestures available with the Magic Trackpad is extensive in Lion.

How to show dock in full screen mode

Hello,
I'm wondering how to get the dock to show up temporarily in full screen mode. When I place my cursor near the bottom of the screen in a full screen app, the dock doesn't pop up. Is this normal and if so, how do I switch between full screen apps without using gestures on the mouse? I'm really hoping that this is a bug.
Thanks

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

Full Screen Mode(s) & Show/Hide Toolbars and Palettes???

I use PS7 but am going to train some folks on PS Elements 8. I cannot find PSE8's equivalent of the F key "Full Screen Modes" command or the Tab key "Show/Hide Toolbars and Palettes". PLEASE tell me there IS some way to do these two things in PSE8!!!!!
- Brian

Uh, yes, don't I feel dumb. Maybe since I always seem to use the Tab key in conjunction with the F key command for Full Screen Modes I didn't realize the Tab key didn't work in PSE8 just fine. At least that's my newbie excuse, and I'm sticking with it. Thanks! Next time I promise I'll TRY something before I ask about it. (I'm kinda stressing this training I need to do soon.)
Now HOW to use the keyboard shortcuts for Full Screen mode??? Anyone???

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?

H,
I am afraid that we have no solution or workaround for this. I will help to submit this as a customer wish to the product team.
Thanks for the feedback.

Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

Would anyone else like to see an auto-hiding Dock in full-screen mode?

Well, it doesn't work consistently here. I have Dock Hiding on. When a screen does not contain a full screen app, it works fine. Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen (where I have the dock) pops up the dock as expected. If the screen has a full screen app in place (usually Mail or Safari), the behaviour is very inconsistent. Moving the mouse to the bottom of the screen, waving it back and forth, up and down, with the odd click, will bring up the dock in maybe 10 to 15% of attempts. Take the app out of full screen, and it works perfectly. Put it back in full screen, stops working. This is a new MacBook Pro with 10.7.1
Any ideas welcome. Meanwhile, Im getting used to the four finger squeeze to bring up the Launcher.

Quick Look full screen mode won't move to next image?

When I highlight the first image in a folder full of multiple images and then press "Space" quick look opens and shows me that first image. I can then move on to the next image by simply pressing the down arrow.
But if I enter quick look's full screen mode it won't move to the next image unless I first select all the images in the folder before entering full screen mode?
Why? Why would functionality SO simple (move to the next image) not be included in the full screen mode of quick look? It renders the full screen mode essentially pointless, who wants to look at ONE image in full screen? Of course everyone wants to browse the images, but why should I have to select all of them, why not just let me move from one to the next... exactly as I can when NOT in full screen mode?
C'mon apple...

I remembered that there had been a slight bug in the Leopard Quicklook, so that if you went to full-screen QL, then used Command-Tab to switch to another program, then Command-Tab back to Finder, you would be back in QL Full Screen, but you could now navigate with the arrow keys. At first I thought this had been fixed, and started mucking about with other key combos and accidently got it going again. Took awhile to figure out exactly what I had done, but it works like this:
1. Select your file, hit spacebar and click the full screen arrows
2. Command-tab to some other program
3. Mouse click the toolbar or sidebar of the open folder with your file in it
4. You can now navigate with the arrow keys
Although I don't really see how this is better or easier than opening the folder, hitting Command-A, then bringing up QL....

In full screen mode (with "Hide Toolbars" selected), is there a way to make FF stop bumping the page up and down everytime I move the mouse to the top of the screen to reveal/hide the toolbar?

In other words, is there a way to make FF behave like IE9 in full screen mode where the toolbar appears "over" the page rather than pushing the page down?

Hello,
Could you please elaborate what exactly you are referring to with "I can't get the link to diplay as a different colour"?
Regarding your second query, I am afraid it is not possible using Adobe Muse. However it can be a very nice feature request.
I would suggest you to post this as a feature request on our "Ideas for features in Adobe Muse" section of the forums : http://forums.adobe.com/community/muse/ideas
