Full screen media in safari - get beachball, movie stops, I wait

This seems to happen in every application such as firefox, safari, all internet applications on the mac. The beachball comes up when I click full screen, while OSX puts my video fullscreen - and I have to wait about 10-15 seconds.
I have seen this also on the macs in our university - is this just a done deal?
Any way of getting round this?
Cheers,
Simon

anyone? There must be some others with the same problem?

  • I have a mac OSX desktop version 10.6.8 and all of a sudden I can't get a full screen view in Safari when I ask for help the response is use the arrows on the top right of the screen ... I don't have them  ... can anyone help?

    Hi Mary,
    I don't remember those arrows in 10.6, only 10.7 & up!?
    I have 10.6.8, as you do. To make your Safari full screen, make sure you have the left hand side of your safari page moved  all the way to the left.  Then move your cursor to the BOTTOM RIGHT CORNER of the safari page, and simply drag your page towards the lower right hand corner of the screen. NOTE: you will see a series of lines on the bottom right corner of the page, indicating where to place you cursor arrow.

  • When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

    I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
    I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
    The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
    I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

    No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
    With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
    further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.

  • How to hide link and full screen view in Safari?

    Hi All,
    I am demonstrating a product on the web i want to hide the link and have a full screen view in safari.
    Thanks

    “hide the link” meaning “hide the address bar”.

  • Is there a way to auto-start applications in full screen, such as Safari, Mail, iTunes etc.?

    I would like several applications to start in full screen, including Mail, Safari and iTunes, rather than starting them, then making them full screen. Is there a setting somewhere or a way of doing that? Thanks in advance.

    I found it. In System Preferences under General "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" has to be checked. However when that is checked it takes you back to all of the sites you had open when you quit the app. I would prefer it start full screen, but back at the home page. Do yours do that as well?

    HI,
    You need third party software for full screen browsing capability in Safari.
    Get Glims. http://www.machangout.com/
    You can access the software from the Safari Preferences pane.

  • Full-Screen bug with Safari

    I hope this is already a known issue.
    I use Safari on Mac OS X. In my flex application, I have
    problem with full-screen mode. When I get back to normal mode from
    full-screen mode, and then resize or maximize safari window, the
    screen displays abnormally. Most of components disappears, and
    sometimes all of them. The same problem occurs with other video
    players, including the one in youtube. I haven't tested it with
    other browsers yet. I hope this problem is fixed in future release.
    Thanks,

    Chaos,
    Can you please file a bug in the bugbase (
    http://bugs.adobe.com/flex)
    and somebody can have a look at it. Also, be sure to mention which
    version of OS X, Safari, and the Flash Player you're using. And if
    you have any source code showing the problem, that definitely
    helps.
    I did a quick test and i was unable to repro the issue using
    the latest Flex 3 SDK on XP/IE7, XP/Firefox, OSX/Safari and
    OSX/Firefox (WIN 9,0,60,163 and MAC 9,0,60,161).

  • How do you activate full screen mode in safari on ipad ios7???!!!!

    I've spent an hour trying to figure this out!!!!! It's working well on my iPhone but not on ipad!!
    Please help!

    I completely agree, the full screen should be an option on iOS 7, which I was warned about getting. I hope they roll out an update soon. I went to this device to streamline and simplify my life and the clutter bothers me when on Safari.
    There are other 3rd party apps out there I'm sure, but I don't like google anymore and try to minimize my use of them wherever possible.
    The biggest annoyance is watching an embedded youtube video on safari. Solution: download Mc Tube and open the video there. While there, you get the true fullscreen view, no clutter.
    Google search solution: duckduckgo better results, not revenue based & a clean interface.
    I moved away from the android pack to get this seamless apple experience where you just intuitively interace with your passion, or whatever it says on the apple ipad marketing. This is being typed on an iphone keyboard from an ipad mini that all I wanted to do was run Safari in fullscreen as well as sort through the tabs like you can on the macbook.
    otherwise very satisfied and awaiting some logical updates to iO7, that if not released would have Mr. Jobs rolling over in his grave!

  • OSX Lion I do not have full screen option for Safari for any user accounts

    In my iMac I have three user accounts plus the guest account. For all accounts exept the guest account Safari do not show the full screen icon or give the option from the menu. Does some one have the same problem and does someone know how to get this feature. PS! I have upgraded to LION!

    It's pretty simple to create your own Full Screen keyboard shortcut. Here is what I did and it works perfectly:
    1. System Preferences
    2. Keyboard
    3. Keyboard Shortcuts tab
    4. Application Shortcuts
    5. Click + symbol at bottom or right box and select All Applications
    6. Set Menu Title for Enter Full Screen &  Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
    7. Repeat Step 5
    8. Set Menu Title for Exit Full Screen &  Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
    9. Exit System Preferences and use the new keyboard shortcuts on all apps that have Full Screen capabilities.

  • Full Screen Mode for Safari - Questions

    Hi everyone.
    1) When I hit Alt-Tab in Lion to go back to Safari from another desktop and program, and have several full screen Safari windows open, it sends me to a random one. Is there any way to change that? Or should I just train myself to use gestures from now on to sort through my screen lineup?
    2) When I restart my MacBook Pro with my lineup of full screen Safari windows open, it pulls them all back up but, unfortunately, puts them in some sort of random order. Is there any way to save the order of the lineup in the Mission Control at the top? I like my stuff to be set up in a certain way.
    Any answers are very welcome, and thank you in advance for your kind help.

    Check this out. So far seems to be way better than the old YouTube app.

  • MEGA 180: Full Screen Media Center Deluxe III

    Hi,
    When I am running Media Center Deluxe III in full screen I still can see to the right and bottom of the window some of the background picture of my desktop  . This is very annoying when I am watching a DVD om my TV. I don't want to see a glimps of Ireland watching Star Trek . Does anyone has the same problem? Did you find a solution to make it really full screen?
    Regards,
    Rene

    There was one really appealing suggestion regarding the MSI Media Center III, but unfortunately it did not intend to fix the MMC itself.
    It was rather about making you to feel better about what's going on

  • NO FULL-SCREEN CAPABILITY USING SAFARI IN LION OS X!!

    The Full-Screen button on the top right corner of my Sarai is missing!! Other apps including iPhoto, iCal, Email etc. have it and it works fine, BUT it isn't showing up in my Safari window and so I cant use the full-screen function for the web
    Is anyone else experiencing this problem??
    ALSO they need an iTunes full screen capability so we can skim over to our music without it being in a pile with all the safari windows. Agreed?

    Hmm thats interesting. I checked and i dont seem to have the most current version for safari, i have 5.0.5 but when i got to check up dates it says i am up to date!! iTunes is updated but i still dont have a full screen option for that nor have i heard u can full screen your iTunes...
    How can i update when it says i am but im not lol
