Full Screen cancels on trackpad movement

After choosing Full Screen in Messages, any mouse or keyboard movement, moves full screen away.
I have to double click on the camera icon of the other persons's name, to get Full Screen back.

Hi,
Only the main Messages/Chat window has the diagonal arrows to out it into Full Screen Mode
You can of course use the View Menu > Full Screen Mode or the keystrokes listed (CMD+Control+F)
It cannot be done with Buddy Lists.
Buddy List can be stretched using the bottom right corner to be as tall and after placement to the left, as wide as you want and may look full screen.
The clues are that the Dock and the Menu bar still appear.
Using the green button of the "traffic light" ones top left causes the window to move between "Full Screen" (or rather "full size") and the default size for the Buddy list.
I have no Buddies signed in so it looks smaller than some others.
I have captured part of the Menu bar as reference.
I cannot replicate anything else from your post about the window resizing itself based on mouse movements or any keyboard entry.
Any possibility there is a stuck key ?
In System Preferences > Keyboard enable the "Show Keyboard and Character Viewers in the Menu Bar" option.
Use this Menu item to show keyboard.
You may have one key that is dark all the time
Here I am holding the CMD and Shift to take the screen shot (needs the 4 key as well in this case)

How to stay in full screen mode when the movie is end

for some commercial reason, I need quicktime to stay in full screen mode when a movie playing is end.How can I config it? Thanks a lot.

You can place what i called a sprite in the video.
http://homepage.mac.com/qt4web/sprites/items.html
Scroll down the web page a little bit and you'll find it. You place the stop sprite a few seconds before the end of the video.
Right click on or control+click on stopsprite.mov in the above web page to open the sprite in the Quicktime player.
Click on the sprite movie, 'select all' from the menu. Click on the video you want to stop. Go to about 5 second (more would better) before the end of the video. Hit the key i on the keyboard. Go to the end of the video and hit the key o (Oh). Go back up to Quicktime's menu--->Edit--->Add To Selection & Scale--->Save As and rename the video. Done....
If for some reason the video doesn't stop add more time....10 seconds before the end of the video.

When safari is in full screen mode and I move the mouse to the top of the screen to bring up the menu bar and the bookmark bar, it does nothing. Is anyone else having this issue?

I just tested that since I hardly ever use full screen mode, this was the first time since I upgraded to Mountain Lion, and it worked fine for me.
Try shutting Safari down and see if that changes anything.
If that doesn't change anything, try shutting down and then rebooting.

Extreme poor quality in full screen preview and exported movie

I have spend evenings and evenings to create the content of a project.
After dealing with error -108 and extreme poor quality in full screen preview and in exported movies (extreme stuttering) I decided to install my iMac new again.
The error -108 disappeared, but the extreme stuttering still remained in full screen preview and in exported movies.
If I make the preview screen in the iMovie browser as big as possible there is nothing to see of any stuttering.
Now I am getting pretty annoyed and have no clue what to do anymore (how to solve this problem) .....
Anyone any suggestion ?
The orginal video was recorded with a Panasonic HD camcorder.
I do have a mid 2011 iMac with 16GB ram and 256GB SSD and 1TB HD with a complete clean installation
of OS X Lion and iLife. This configuration should be enough to create a proper movie :-(

why is it this option disabled? do the generate monitor sized previews increase a lot the cache a lot!
Potentially, yes. The standard Preview is 1024 pixels, longest size. Some people (like Omke) have displays 2560 pixels longest side, potentially increasing file size by over 500%.

Next Slide/Slide Transition in Full Screen on my Keynote Movie

Hello everyone,
I hope you can help? I have been using Keynote to prepare some slides for a talk I am delivering and to ensure I have no 'technical mishaps' I need to have a copy of the Keynote in a .mov format so that it can be played in Quicktime on a Mac or a PC.
I have exported the Keynote to Quicktime which works brilliantly on my Mac and on the PC when you view it in the Normal View. You can use the left/right arrows on the keyboard to move forward and backwards through your slides and use the mouse to access the hyperlinks. The problem occurs when I enter Full Screen View (which will be necessary when I deliver this talk!) - although a mouse click moves the slides on I cannot find any way of moving back a slide, or of accessing my hyperlinks.
Please help?!
Thanks, Chrissi

Do you have the PDF version to fill the full screen and not leave borders? If you print to PDF (not create PDF), then a margin is added by default (as when you print to paper). The border can be reduced to 0, but that is an extra step with the print. As I recall, the PDF Maker (create PDF) does not include the margins. Thus the whole margin bit may be the issue.

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....

Flash Full screen movie problem..

Hi gang,
I have flash content that loads a number of small movies (.flv) side by side when loaded.
The .swf runs fine from the desktop... but when i go full screen... only the last movie clip is visible in the center of the window? Its like it is only going full screen on the last movie.
any ideas?
g

Finally. The reason that full screen not worked was beacause I tested it locally. So be careful, test on server.
Anyway, stage.allowsFullScreenInteractive is always FALSE. So I must be sure that I put correct javascript or I'll get RTE. That's bad.

Why can't i use full screen on netflix?

With Firefox, using my MacBook Pro (3 weeks old)I cannot go to full screen when running a movie on Netflix. It worked fine on my older MacBook Pro.The screen goes dark after 2 attempts.
However I can go to full screen on Netflix using Safari.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

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

IPad iTunes rental TV = Full screen?

When previewing the rental movies from TV using iPad and digital av adapter (hdmi), tv shows a windowboxed image. When watching a movie from the library, tv shows full screen. Does rental movies work in full screen, or does the preview show the exact image I will get when renting?
I really don't want to pay for a windowboxed movie!
Thanks for your answer!

I dont have that option, sadly.
I presume the feature you guys are on about hasnt been implemented for Windows users yet...
Its frustrating because "The Resistance" iTunes LP is 1280*720 px and my 15" widescreen laptop is 1280*800 so technically it should fit but it insists on putting the scrollbars in. I cant see this button you guys are on about, and the option isnt there in the view menu (ctrl + f and alt + enter dont work either).
So fullscreen option for windows users would be great (yes I am on the latest version of iTunes). I'd quite like to set the animated background as a screensaver as well but I guess I can dream on...
Also what the previous person said about the lyrics: the blurb about itunes LP when it first came out mentioned animated lyrics but they arent there in the muse one which is annoying. They have pictures of the pages from the cd booklet, but i was expecting some fantastic arty animation to go along with the song.
Its a shame 'cause I love the LP concept, but it A) has a couple of missing features which really should be there and B) doesnt cross over to my iPod classic in any way.

Why i can't full screen my apps in my display?? with the mac os x lion, why i can't full screen my apps in my display?? with the mac os x lion

i have a cinema display and i just downloaded the new mac os x lion. the problem is that i can't use full screen with my display, when i push the full screen button the app moves to my macbook, but i want it to stay at the display.

It appears that the full-screen display will only work on the display that has the menu bar.
You can switch the menu bar to your external display by going to Solid Apple -> System Preferences -> Displays, then Arrangement.
Grab the menu bar and drop it on the icon representing your external display.
When you full screen an app it should then full screen on the Cinema display.
I wish it would just full screen on the display the window is on, but that is evidently not the way it was designed to work.

How do I get out of "full screen" view. When I put my crusor at the top of the screen I get SOME menus showing, but nothe the "firefox" drop-down where I selected full screed (I was just trying to zoom out, actually)

I think the question pretty well summed it up. I selected full screen mode from the "firefox" drop-down box at the top left, but once in full screen mode, the drop-down box is not available. How do I get back to the standard view??

Press the F11 key to toggle into and out of full screen mode.
Or, move the mouse pointer to the top of the screen and right-click the "+" (new tab) button, or in a blank area of the tab bar, or in a blank area after the address box, and exit full screen mode from the context menu.

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

https://discussions.apple.com/message/15676940#15676940
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.

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
