Full screen in safari

The listing says full screen for iPad 2 in safari, I haven't found out how, is it just for video or surfing?

I saw that, but I don't believe it!
The icon for activation that exists on the iPhone just isn't there on the iPad.
Using full screen on the iPhone opens up a vastly greater percentage of screen real estate than the feature would on the iPad.

Yes. I know the icon isn't there. I guess this is living proof that you can't beleive everything that you read on the Internet - no matter how trusted the source!

How do I access full-screen in Safari in IOS6?

You are more than a week late to the conversation. When this thread began the linked page attributed FS Safari to both the iPad 2 and iPad 3G. However, I brought it to Apple's attention and it has been corrected.

In Full Screen mode Safari only opens new tabs?

Safari 5.1 has a preference that lets you set whether or not targeted links open into new tabs or new windows.
In regular screen mode, this preference works as expected.
In Full Screen mode (Lion), this preference seems to be ignored, and Safari always opens targeted links into new tabs.
Is there a preference I'm missing to set this behavior for Full Screen mode?
The reason I ask is that I would love to use the swipe gesture to switch between different web pages I have open, and so far Safari only seems to use gestures in Full Screen mode to switch between windows, not tabs.

I cant get my macbook pro to have a full screen in safari please help?

I have tried getting my full screen back and its not working please help?????

First off, iOS 7 does not run on Macs.
Secondly, Mac Pros are desktops, and MacBook Pros are notebooks. Something is not jibing with your signature and what you say you are running. Please go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us your Mac OS X version.
Go to Safari menu -> About Safari, or Help menu-> About Safari to tell us your Safari version.
That will tell us if fullscreen is an option.

How to make full screen on safari

how to make full screen on safari

One way is to download and install Saft - MacUpdate or CNET Downloads.
Or you can click on the green expland gadget in the top right of Safari's titlebar. However, this will not expand Safari to a true full-screen view as will Saft.

Youtube full screen on safari does not work

when trying to click 'ful screen' button in the right lower corner of youtube player, it does not open full screen mode.

    Check whether you are currently in YouTube HTML 5 trial.

     At the bottom left of the page uncheck the box for
     "You are currently in the HTML5 trial".

Open Safari in full screen by default?

Is there any way to set Safari to open full screen? Mail, iTunes etc all open full screen, just safari seems to open in a small window, I know its easy to click the expand button, would be just nice to set it as default.

I found that if you quit Safari (while being in Full-Screen mode) with cmd-alt-q instead of cmd-q it opens in Full-Screen, but you have to remember to always close it with cmd-alt-q
I'm on Mavericks
Edit: It opens also the last website you have opened, sadly... it is like the option to "close windows when quitting applications" but only for Safari.

Safari full screen broken

Hello all,
As you can see from the attached pic, the full screen on safari is not convering completely my 13MBP screen on the lower side. The only way to fix it, is to switch off the full screen and then re-enable it. But it last just a couple of minutes and then same problem again. Looked anywere on the web but no luck. Any idea?
Thanks in advance

I am having a similar issue since updating to Mountain Lion. My problem happens when I go to fullscreen after waking the computer up from sleep. If you look at the top of the screenshot, the tabs don't appear. Rather, the tabs are there just hidden. I am also unable to move mouse up to make the menu bar appear. When this happens, the multi-tasking gestures don't work, either. I have to hover my mouse at the bottom of the screen to make the dock appear (that part is normal) and click on an icon to move to a different page/app (that is also normal but I should still be able to multi-task back and forth).

How do you keep safari in standard screen mode and avoid "full screen"

How do I keep the screen in Safari from converting from "standard screen" to "full screen"? I know how to switch back and forth between the screens on "View" "Exit Full Screen." However, I don't want to work in "full screen" and Safari automatically opens up in "full screen". How do I keep this from happening?
Thanks,

Did you look at http://www.apple.com/support/safari which can be useful, and there is a link to Safari Community which is where you will find common threads and people that focus on Safari.

I've given up on Full Screen Apps

At first I was very annoyed at the built-in rigidity of full screen apps. We called it a bug (it's not- no one at Apple cared to give the apps the flexibility they should have) and I hoped for a fix, but with so many desktops available and the full screen mode available anyway (you know, the green button), I realized that Full Screen Apps weren't really giving me anything worth the trouble and often were making work more cumbersome. The question is, what do Full Screen really offer anyway? They seem redundant. The only app I still run full screen is Safari- you need every bit of space you can get with a browser.
Besides, what advantage were Full Screen apps supposed to give us anyway? Four finger swipe navigation? You can do that anyway between desktops. As far as app switching is concerned, I find Cmmd-Tab the most convenient method by far and so my dock is hardly used and always hidden anyway. I find too that I like to see the menu bar when working. I don't find the elegant quotient damaged.
But I take back what I say about bugs- Preview has huge bugs in Full Screen mode and annoying ones in regular mode. I have no idea why Cupertino hasn't addressed these glaring ugly's. Speaking of butt-ugly, try Photo Booth in Full Sreen mode. It seems a Cupertino high school came to Apple for a field trip one day and recolored Photo Booth and iCal as well. Notice how Word jumped in the pleather wood action- jeez, can't they even get wood grain right? Even I can do a decent and realistic pine, oak, and teak.
In respone to the dumbing down and corkscewing up of Mac OS I've threatened to switch to Ubutntu a bunch of times but apparently Apple is calling my bluff as a loyal user since they haven't made any public announcements or written to me personally (these are attempts at jokes I'm afraid, I'm planning on buying a Macbook Pro as I write this).
I like eye candy too but to Hector with that Photon-blasted iOS. When did Apple become the computer trendy gadgetier for the everybody and his brother and dog instead the beloved champion for the rest of us wannabe geeks? Sigh, nostalgia.

I've come to think that if you know what html is and have ever needed to use ftp, then iWeb will seem limiting and downright constraining.
On the other hand, I can truly say that were it not for iWeb, I wouldn't be blogging now. I can edit html by hand and have spent some time in .css, but when I'm doing something just for the heck of it (to make myself, and hopefully the readers, smile), I want the "effort" part of the equation to be as low as possible.
Like Keynote before it, there's something about iWeb that makes me want to use it. And creating with it is fun mainly because, while the results may not be perfect, the only thinking that goes into the creation is that of creating. And, since the Domain file is where all your data is held, an update to iWeb means that the next time you publish, your site automatically takes on whatever optimizations the update holds, again without having to tinker with the coding side of site creation.

Why doesn't firefox open as a full screen page?

I tried opening firefoz but it didn't come to be a full screen but safari did. I would use safari but then i have to redo all of my bookmarks!

Firefox is not supported yet using full screen mode. However, you can expand the window to full screen by clicking on the green button at the top left, or dragging the window to full size. Does not hide the menu and dock like full screen mode, but will cover the screen.

Button to close Full Screen in Menu bar is missing. Bug or Configuration issue?

Hi,
OS 10.7 has the option to view applications in Full Screen mode.
According to the demo video on the Apple site, there should be a button right to the Spotlight icon to close the Full Screen Mode.
On my Macbook Pro I don't see this button.
Is this a bug or a configuration issue on my system?\
Regards,
Anthonie

After using full-screen mode for a while between scrivener full-screen and safari full-screen, now I want to turn of the fullscreen of safari, but that icon that should appear whenever you put the mouse up on the right corner, nothing appears. So, I do not have any option to turn off the full-screen mode in safari-except when I put my mouse on the very down and push one more time, then dock appears, and there I can quit safari, but as I said I do not want to quit Safari, I want to turn of fullscreen mode of Safari... Is this a bug or what?

QuickTime screen recording can't record full screen

I wanted to use quicktime's screen record function to record gta San Andreas, which I bought off the App Store. I hit the record button and clicked so that it would record the whole screen. I then opened up San Andreas, which takes up the whole screen. When I watched the recording back, I saw that it had recorded the screen but had for some reason shoved the recording in the top left hand corner instead of it covering the whole screen like it should. The area around it was all pixilated lines.
I'll try to record again and with other games in case it's a glitch (in which case I'll let you know) because I haven't seen anyone else with this problem, but if it's not a glitch and there's a solution I'd love to hear about it! Many thanks.

Just as an update, steam games and applications that can go full screen like safari both work fine, I've tried gta again and it still has the problem.

Full screen options.

Can I go full screen in safari/movie on my thunderbolt display and not effect the usage/work on my laptop display?
For example:
Have a movie playing in a browser on full screen on my thunderbolt display while working on my laptop display?
(Previous attempts will trap my mouse on the thunderbolt display where the movie is playing.)
Full screen Safari on Thunderbolt display and have a different application open on my laptop screen?
(Previous attempts have forced my laptop screen to its background image.)
Sorry if my description is a bit confusing .... I hope you (the community) understand my question

As Steve indicates, it's not easy.
Authorware doesn't 'scale' like Flash does.
You could do what you want by detecting the screen size and change the size of the Presentation window by using the ResizeWindow function.
That'll change the size of the 'stage' but all your content will still be fixed where it was before, likely top-left just as the 'fullscreen' option works (or doesn't work as the case may be).
Now most all elements can be placed via custom x/y coordinates. So you *could* base every element's position on the size of the presentation window itself. However, that's surely complex even for a fairly basic piece.
The more common approach was to use the cover.u32, or the subsequent RGBcover.u32 (see http://www.awaretips.net) to 'black out' any of the desktop that the presentation window does not cover - making it look somewhat full-screen...though everything in the window is still at its default size and placement...but at least it's centered.
I think cover.u32 stopped working on XP though RGBcover.u32 still does....I could be wrong in that recollection though.
Otherwise, Authorware is just built to deliver to a set size. There are workarounds but definitely none as easy as a simple scale.

How can I get Safari to default to NOT be in full screen mode?

I have looked in Preferences but don't see any such option. I know that once I am in a session that I can go to View->Exit Full Screen, but I want the default when I open a session to not be full screen. Would appreciate any and all help.

Quit Safari while holding down the option key. Relaunch. Your home page, or an empty window, should open, depending on your preferences.
If in full-screen mode, exit. If not in full-screen mode, enter. Quit and relaunch without holding any keys. You should get the same window in the same state as when you quit. Does that happen?
