Full screen mode not working in Mountain Lion

I'm using the new Retina Macbook Pro. The full screen mode to preview pictures and movies is not working; the dock still remains open when the full screen is open. I have to manually hide the dock by pressing command + D and do the same to open the dock again. This doesnt seem to an OS issue because my Macbook Air, which is also running Mountain Lion is doing just fine. I can preview a picture and the dock automatically hides.
Has anyone experienced the same issue? What is the fix for this problem?

Bingo! Problem solved. I didn't realize that you could "right click" the mouse over the "resize" icon in full screen mode. When I did that I found I was in the tiny postcard mode. Selecting "full screen" got me back to where I used to be..enjoying the tv shows in full screen mode. Kinda of weird. Choosing "full screen" from the menu bar didn't make the show full "pictured" though I was in full screen mode. But while in the full screen mode, I could right-click and choose "full screen" and there I be, watching a show in "full pictured". Learned something new.

  • Full screen mode not working for original user

    Hi,
    Whenever I go to start a full-screen mode in iTunes, iCal, Mail, etc. the program makes the default error sound and doesn't enter full screen. This appears in the console, but I'm not sure how to diagnose it:
    21/07/11 9:11:18.253 PM Mail: ___createFullScreenMessageConnection_block_invoke_1: Fullscreen message error: Connection invalid
    Furthermore, apps like Mail and Safari get interface glitches, which require a restart of the program to fix.
    However, the programs work fine in full screen on other user accounts, but I don't want to have to start a new one and move ~400GB of data between them. Is there any way of fixing this? I've also tried reseting permissions.

    Resetting my user preferences hasn't helped either.

  • HT1338 early 2012 macbook air clamshell mode not working after mountain lion update

    Can't make 2012 MBA 13" work in clamshell mode after updating to Mountain Lion.  All peripheral devices are connected, as is AC power.  Closing lid causes external monitor to enter sleep mode (presumably, the MBA is going to sleep as well).
    Power settings are set to stay awake when on AC power.
    Thank you.

    Hi,
    The two may be linked as there is a common support app called IMAgent that helps with both Messages and FaceTime.
    Shut down both apps.
    With the Finder as the Front App > use the Go Menu > Hold down ALT key and select Library.
    In the Library find and open th Preferences Folder
    Find com.apple.IMAgent.plist and drag it to the Trash
    Before restarting the App now go to Activity Monitor in Applications/Utilities.
    Find imagent (it  is in lower case).
    Highlight and use the Quit button.
    Now restart the app(s).
    This will recreate the .plist  from defaults.

  • Full Screen Mode Not Working In iTunes

    With the latest iTunes update, when I play anything in "Full Screen" mode, I get the black background with this tiny (smaller than a postcard) picture. Anyone else having the same problems? Any suggestions? This problem never happened before. Seems to be related to the recent update. I think the update is telling my computer to act like an iPod, which unfortunately it is. Appreciate any help. Standing by.

  • Remote desktop not working on mountain lion

    My ARD does not work on Mountain Lion. The software opens but all I get is the menu at the top, and my only working option is to quit. I spoke to Apple support and they suggest (as they usually do) to reinstall the whole operating system, but I can't accept this as a valid answer as everything else works. There must be a way to fix this without having to reinstall a machine that came originally with Mountain Lion!

    I was able to fix my issue by just uninstalling ARD (I used AppZapper) - and just reinstalling it - no "Archive & Install" required - best of luck with your situation!

  • CS4 "Save as Adobe PDF" not working in Mountain Lion

    CS4 Save as Adobe PDF not working in Mountain Lion
    Just bought a new Mac with mountain lion, installed CS4 design premium twice trying to fix this. When you go to "print" then "Save as Adobe PDF" the process fails with a pop-up saying "An error occurred while saving the PDF file". I can still do the standard "Save as PDF" - but that usually results in a file size 10x larger than Save as Adobe PDF so it won't work for me; I need the small file sizes of Save as Adobe PDF.
    When I go to Help > Repair Acrobat Installation it seems to be recognizing a repair needed with Adobe PDF Printer (see screenshot below); but when I go through the repair nothing changes it still won't work.
    Any help is much appreciated!

    "Save As Adobe PDF" works fine in Snow Leopard.
    Thanks for the link, but this is no help - I already have "Save As Adobe PDF" on the menu - the problem is when I click that it errors out...
    I just think its sad that Adobe charges people $2000 and provides zero support for future updates; when I buy an iMac for half that amount of money or an iPhone I get operating system support and bug fix downloads to deal with the latest internet advances for years to come - but Adobe apparently takes your money and says sayonara! Is it really that hard to provide updates on $2000 worth of software for say 24 months??

  • HT1338 preview does not work with mountain lion

    I updated my mid 2011 mac mini to mountian lion and i find Preview and all of MS Office 2011 for MAC fails to work
    I can cut and paset the logs, but lets astart with assessing whagt does not work with Mountain Lion.

    Your profile lists a 2008 MacBook with Snow Leopard.
    I installed Windows XP into Bootcamp on my 2009 MacBook Pro (either in Leopard or Snow Leopard, I do not remember which) and I used it with Parallels 6.
    When I upgraded it to Lion, even though the Lion Bootcamp will NOT install Windows XP, my Bootcamp (and use by Parallels 7) survived the upgrade.
    It may be possible that it will also survive and operate a future upgrade to Mountain Lion.

  • Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation

    The Logitech Quick Cam pro 9000 is not working with Mountain Lion's dictation.
    Opening the dictation system preference panel makes the system preferences crash...
    The mic of that camera is the only mic I have.
    I own a Mac Pro and an old Cinema Display which has no built-in cam/mic.
    Anyone having the same issue?
    I hope this is gonna be fixed with 10.8.1.

    Hello, thank you for responding.
    Unplug and plug in back the camera does not solve this problem. I tried that before.
    But what worked was to start photo booth. Don't really know why.
    So after every restart of the mac I have to start photo booth and dictation with the QuickCam is working. ^^

  • IMessage Not Working Since Mountain Lion Upgrade

    Since I "upgraded" my iMac and MacBook Air to Mountain Lion, iMessage delivery is hit and miss to the say the least from my iPhone 4S.  I first realised there was an issue receiving text messages whilst in the States and not connected to WiFi. Messages weren't even being received as text messages, even but would all come through as a flood from my girlfriend when I connected to WiFi.
    At the weekend she dropped her iPhone 4 and the screen is duff so she's swapped her SIM into a spare BlackBerry until it's repaired.  Gues what? She can text me but my 4S is still trying to reply by iMessage and none of them are being resent/sent as text messages.
    It's useless having a mobile phone that will effectively only communicate by voice and e-mail and no basic texting. It wouldn't be so bad if it actualy said the messages were failing.

    Were you running os x 10.6 before the upgrade?
    Anyway photoshop cs2 won't work on mountain lion because cs2 is a PowerPC application
    and mountain lion can only run intel applications natively like photoshop cs3-cc.
    If you were using 10.6, then you were using rossetta, an application that allowed some powerpc programs to run on an intel mac and mountain lion doesn't have rossetta.
    The current versions of photoshop available from adobe are photoshop cs6 and photoshop cc, but since cs2 is out
    of the upgrade loop now, so you need to either buy the full version of photoshop cs6 or subscribe to photoshop cc.
