Full screen isn't full screen,unless I use "maximize" and later goes back

I used to be able to press full screen and it would be fine and when I closed ff, upon restarting it would restart in full screen. Something has gliched. When I press full screen in regular size, the full screen isn't full, only about 90-95% of screen. I can make it go full screen if I click
"maximize " and then full screen , but if at any time the screen isn't maximized, the same thing happens. If I close maximized and full screen
it opens with the reduced full screen. I can't move or stretch it out in anything except normal screen, and again, not I click full screen from there. I never had this problem.

When I get to the login page on my macbook, I type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue and it goes back to the login. What should I do?

I was having some problems with my mac, safari and itunes was freezing alot. I have to force shutdown and when I tried to start up again i get to the login page, type in my password and it starts to load, but then the screen turns blue for a few seconds and it goes back to the log in screen. What should I do?
Please Help!!

Somewhat similar problem:
Put in the password, hit enter, the screen goes blue for half a second, then goes back to login screen and carries on logging in as usual. Drives me mad. It doesn't happen with a fresh Lion installation, nor if booted into safe mode. On the machine in question it also happens to new user accounts.
I've removed all login items, including Startup Items and Launch Demons (pun intended) and Agents, I've compared system login plists with a fresh Lion installation - can't see differences. I've removed Little Snitch and PeerGuardian (no more third party kexts).
@Carolyn: I've done disk maintenance with DiskUtility and fsck and even DiskWarrior, cleaned caches, etc. etc.
Any ideas would be gratefully received.
Sorry for trying to hijack the thread (as it's not about Lion), but it seemed dead anyway.

Iv tryed this numerious times still keeps going back to pasword. Can not get any further. Tried restart holding shift key.. still nothing. What do i do?

Thank you for your help.
I couldnt get to the hard drive/ desktop. Soft login not even working. So i could not do any of that.
In the end i took it to Apple and its actually the hard drive on its way out. A common issue with that series of Mac. Funny seeing i dont use this mac much. However being 2.5 years old and out of warrently, Apple have recognise this issue with this series/ Model and installing a new hard drive at no cost.
Very luck and greatful. And not feeling so dumb that it was something i did or could troubleshoot myself.
Hope this helps others that it just might be your hard drive failing.

IPhone 5c got stuck before it started update to iOS 8 and it goes back and forth between Apple logo screen and blank screen

how do I fix my phone now that it is stuck before the update and only goes back and forth between a blank blue screen and the Apple logo screen. Tried the reset and that didn't work. Please help

Hi Mitchblue,
If your phone is not able to get past the Apple logo, I suggest that you use the following article to help you restore the software in the phone:

Mac OS X 10.7 Help
Reset your computer’s PRAM
A small amount of your computer’s memory, called “parameter random-access memory” or PRAM, stores certain settings in a location that Mac OS X can access quickly. The particular settings that are stored depend on your type of Mac and the types of devices connected to it. The settings include your designated startup disk, display resolution, speaker volume, and other information.
Note: To print these instructions, open theHelp Viewer’s Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear) and choosePrint.
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.
Immediately press and hold the Command-Option-P-R keys. You must press this key combination before the gray screen appears.Continue holding the keys down until the computer restarts, and you hear the startup sound for the second time.
Release the keys.
Resetting PRAM may change some system settings and preferences. Use System Preferences to restore your settings.

Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

Why won't my apps show on my main screens? The only way I can access them is by going back to the App Store and clicking open.

So there are no apps at all on your home screens? Try a reset. Hold the sleep/wake and home buttons together until you see the Apple logo and then release. The phone will reboot. If you don't see anything after that, take a look at all of your home screens and folders to see if something is hidden. It that doesn't work, you can go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

Mac Monitor screen isn't full size

I started playing Sims 3 on my MacBook Pro laptop and it was working fine. Then it froze on me one time but my laptop still worked. But when I shut down my laptop and turned it on again the actual monitor screen doesn't fit the full 13". It only goes about 11". First off, is this because of my Sims game that it did this? Because it never did it before. Secondly, is there a way I can make my screen fit the full 13" or do I need to take it into an Apple store?

Have you checked the Resolution setting in the Displays system preference? If a lower resolution than normal is selected, that's one possible cause for the area being smaller.

My screen has turned black as if the LCD screen isn't working. There is no damage and the phone is still responding to vibrations and there is a dial tone when called. What is wrong with my phone?

Your phone is probably broken.

My computer screen keeps going blank and then going back to the box where I put my password in to start my comp. Why is this happening?

My computer (Macbook) was working fine this am. I left it for an hour and then came back and the screen was black (always does that as the screensaver hardly ever works). I moved the mouse to wake it up and everything was normal. I went to adjust the volume and the screen went blank and the main page with the box where I put my password in when I first start my comp appeared. I put my password in and everything was normal again. I opened a window in Safari and before it loaded completely the same thing happened, the screen went blank and went back to the password box. Does anyone know why this is happening? I don't have an external hard drive or any blank flash drives so I can't back anything up right now and am afraid I'm going to lose everything. Thank you

Sounds like hardware failure, called boot loop. Call Apple and or go on apple.com and make Genius Bar appointment to have your iphone reviewed by a Tech. Provided you iphone shows no physical or liquid damage they will take care of you, or if you have Apple Care Plus

HT3986 when starting up in windows the screen resolution is too large ,i then restart in windows and resolution goes back too normal

When starting up windows from mac the resolution is too large, i then restart in windows and the resolution goes back too normal. How do i fix this?

Having the same issue here....a quick fix is to just minimize the window, and immediately maximize it. It will now fit the screen. Trouble is, after you close it, you'll have to do it again when you re-start itunes. The good news is it takes all of about 2 seconds. Apple should fix this. Should.

How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen? I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences. When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears. Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing. I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying. How can I fix this? I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc. and cannot find a way to fix this.

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

Help! I just installed the latest update on my IPhone 4 and now I can't access my podcasts. When I hit the podcast I on, the screen goes blank for a second and then opens to the home screen with all my icons. What happened?

Try a reset which is similar to a computer restart and is done by pressing and holding the home button and the sleep/wake or on/off button simultaneously you see the Apple logo and then release.
