Full Screen Mode on Tablets

I'm running Photoshop CC on a Microsoft Surface Pro 3. I figured out how to activate the "Touch-friendly" 200% UI scaling, and I found the new screen mode toggle at the bottom of the tool palate. There's only one problem: if you toggle all the way into full screen mode with the palates off (the old "Tab" button toggle), there's no way to turn them back on without a keyboard. Yes, I could simply attach the Surface's keyboard cover, but that seems to defeat a big portion of the tablet-only convenience.
The warning dialog that appears just prior to toggling into full-screen mode claims the palates will be accessible from the sides of the screen (I presume they mean like the collapsed panels in LightRoom), but this is not true. Once they're off, they're completely off, and no amount of swiping from the sides brings them back.
Anyone else experience this, or is it just me?

Nevermind. I just found out that in full screen mode, the "side of the screen" only responds to the stylus, not your finger.
It would be nice if Adobe documented that somewhere

Using a tablet PC pen to annotate PDF slides in full screen mode

I'm using Acrobat 8 Standard on a tablet PC with Win XP Professional SP 3 running. I m using Acrobat to run LaTeX presentations, and am looking for a way to use my tablet PC pen to annotate (underline, circle, etc.) slides in full/screen mode, as is possible with MS PowerPoint. I am at a loss here. Any ideas/pointers?

I haven't ever tried it in Acrobat. You may find it easier to use Classroom Presenter with the tablet (a free download). You can import all of the slides as graphics (basically save as TIFF and then import). They you can annotate in the program as you use the presentation. A nice advantage of this program when using a presentation mode with a separate monitor is that the separate monitor can view only the presentation area, but the original still show all of the toolbars.
I would guess that you are really looking for a dual screen mode like that for Acrobat. If you try to do written text with Acrobat, the pencil tool is a bit clumsy and you might not find it that easy to use. I will look for a dual screen mode on my tablet, but would probably start by checking the manual.

How do I get out of "full screen mode" on my tablet?

I don't know how I got into full screen mode first of all and I can not figure out how to get out of full screen mode. I have a tablet, my toolbar with the menu symbol is missing at the top and the bar at the bottom is missing. I don't have any keys with "F" features, so I can't press F11. Does anyone else have this problem? I have windows 8.

Argh. There aren't many things more frustrating than an app hogging your entire screen.
Do you have a compact keyboard? If so, there should be a key labelled ''fn'' and another key which is labelled ''F11'' (maybe in blue writing). Try holding down fn and press the F11 key.
Alternatively touching or swiping right at the very top of the screen should reveal Firefox's toolbar - you can press the [[Image:New Fx Menu]] at the top right and then select ''full screen'' to shrink Firefox back down to size.
Hope those ideas help! :)

How do i get firefox to not be in full screen mode without a mouse or keyboard?

for some reason Firefox switched to full screen mode and i can't get out of it. I'm using Firefox on a tablet PC running windows 8.1 so using F11 or a mouse is not an option. at least i assume it's full screen mode. i can't see my bookmarks bar, my address bar, or even the windows task menu at the bottom of the screen, where my virtual keyboard is located at. i can get to the settings menu (i have Firefox set to start on a new page) but i can't find bookmark bar, address bar, or full screen settings there. I tried using IE11 to uninstall Firefox and reinstall it but it kept the setting. A "turn off full screen mode" button in the settings would be super helpful or a "force show address bar" button.

By the way, if Firefox is ''stuck'' in full screen mode, I think you could clear that by removing the settings file which stores window dimensions. Here's how:
Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using either
* "3-bar" menu button > "?" button > Troubleshooting Information
* (menu bar) Help > Troubleshooting Information
* type or paste about:support in the address bar and press Enter
In the first table on the page, click the "Show Folder" button. This should launch a new window listing various files and folders in Windows Explorer.
''If none of those is available: Use the Run command (or maybe the charms bar search box), type or paste the following and tap Run/Search or Enter on the virtual keyboard:''
%APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles
''Then double-tap into your most recently updated semi-randomly-named profile folder.''
Leaving that window open, switch back to Firefox and Exit, either:
* "3-bar" menu button > "power" button
* (menu bar) File > Exit
''If neither of those is available, try using one of the standard Windows ways of exiting a program.''
Pause while Firefox finishes its cleanup, then rename '''xulstore.json''' to something like xulstore.old. If you see a file named localstore.rdf, rename that one to localstore.old.
Start Firefox back up again. Do windows display normally again?

Full Screen mode and two monitors

I consider this an oddity in Lion. I have two monitors. If I have Mail open in the left one and let's say Address book on the right one, and I put Mail into full screen mode, the other monitor goes gray. So . . . no way to have one monitor in full screen mode and still use the second monitor!

This is Apple's warped sense of humor about how full screen should work. Aparrently the designer only uses tablets so has no clue how the real world works.
This is totally hated by most power users but, alas, Apple aren't doing anything about fixing this patently broken design, let alone admitting that they could have made a mistake.
Your options are to either put up with it or back out to Snow Leopard.

CS4 Full Screen Mode

In CS4 Full Screen Mode adjustments to layers /filters etc. can cause odd looking grayed out file name at top of window. how to avoid?

I turned off a whole load of features in my nVidia control panel and the problem I had with top menus after using full screen mode magically disappeared. I don't know which one did the trick and I'm not sure whether I can be bothered to find out. Solutions to CS4 problems just get more and more exotic.
On the whole, despite new video drivers, new tablet drivers, XPPro SP3 upgrade, latest DirectX and removal of 3rd party plugins I still find CS4 clunky and slow in comparison to CS3. Up until LR2 (another disaster on my machine but I'm not alone) and CS4 I had always praised Adobe for producing exceptionally stable, bug free software out of the box. These two releases are now just about the worst software releases I have ever encountered. We just shouldn't have to muck about with all these tortuous or drastic ( clean installs of the operating system ) experiments just to get these relatively undemanding applications to work.

Full screen mode and textarea workaround?

Hey all,
according to adobe it's not possible to enter text in full
screen mode due to security issues:
"Although full-screen mode does not support text input, the
text input cursor will display over input text fields. Workaround:
dynamically convert input fields to dynamic text fields or disable
TextInput components when in full-screen mode. (182474)"
If I may say so, this quite sucks.... It suppose to be
security related issue (how???) are there any workarounds knows??
This seriously limits the way users can work with any RIA

Please help me exit "full screen mode." I am unable to see the Safari menu bar.

I have never used this tool. Please help me to "exit the full screen mode." I am unable to see the toolbar in Safari.

Safari doesn't include a Home page, but does allow for a multitude of book marks. In addition, there numerous other browsers available in the apps store. Some of them will allow for setting Home page if it is that important to you (personally, I don't miss it).
The bookmarks bar can be be hidden from the setting app. There is no real tool bar in Safari.
You might want to take a look through the User Guide and learn a little more about how the iPad works, if you haven't already.

Any 3rd party utilities that fix full screen mode for multi-monitor users?

I am a multi-monitor user. As multi-monitor users know, full screen mode is basically useless since if you try to go full screen on one monitor, it causes the other monitor to go blank and become unusable (at least with most programs). Are there any 3rd party utitilities or fixes for this?
Thanks

Spaces, which is what this functionality stems from, was limited in that it used your entire setup and switched all of the screens over; space to space. I never used spaces because I always had multiple monitors and I was always working with multiple apps simultaneously that I wanted to be able to reference while working on the others.
Now they call Spaces, "mission control" and changed the appearance of it, but the functionality remained the same, each workstation comprised all of your monitors, and would switch over all of them when switching to a new "Desktop".
Fullscreen apps wrongly assumes that it can take the functionality of the afformentioned MS/Spaces and use it for one app, negating the whole idea of why someone would have multiple screens (real estate to work with other applications).
If they stop considering multiple monitors as one Workspace, they can then make it so they are asynchronous "tablets" instead of one conjoined entity.
So, you say people have been asking about this for 2 years, I've been asking for this for 5!
The issue here is, the only answer is to not use it. Making Mission Control and Fullscreen apps completely ignored by people like us, where I could be using both functions to glide around my work station and three monitors, mixing and matching which apps I want to be viewed on each separate monitor, to perform one single task; together.
It would actually reward people who wanted to utilize Thunderbolt technology and have more then one monitor.
There is no telling why apple chose to push out something that would only support the casual user, with one display, but the only direct way to let apple know that we feel limited by the OS is to send feedback. Even though it seems that we are powerless in this situation, I hope that they do consider how to make this function better.

How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click. How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features
Say thanks by clicking the Kudos thumb up in the post.

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?

Can't see TV shows purchased from Music Store in Full Screen Mode

Prior to the release of iTunes 7.0, I had been purchasing episodes of LOST from the iTunes Music Store and watching the episodes on my Mac in Full Screen viewing mode.
Since downloading iTunes 7.0, I have been unable to watch any television shows purchased from the Music Store from that date forward in Full Screen mode. When I select iTunes>View>Full Screen I can hear the audio, but I cannot see the image. Instead, my monitor goes totally black. If I select iTunes>View>Fit to Screen, I am able to see the video, however, the video does not fill up my screen...instead, I have about two inches of desktop showing on either side of the image. Does anyone know how to solve this problem so that I can once again watch purchased television shows in Full Screen mode?
By the way, I am now running iTunes 7.0.2.
Power Mac G4 Tower Mac OS X (10.4.8)

Alan, I just checked and I don't see a section for TV shows in the Canadian store. As the initial deal was made with ABC, I doubt that there is any content available yet for you. I do see the pixar section and the music video section, however.
Similarly, a visit to the Apple Canada site shows no mention of being able to download TV shows.
As with the music, it is going to take a separate lisence to bring TV content to each store. If and when that is going to happen, no one around here would be able to say.

Can't see pictures in full screen mode

This is my new Mac Computer. Some of the pictures can not be viewed except as thumbnails. (When I try to see in full screen mode, there is a quick 1 second view,then a grey screen with an I in the middle and a dotted line surrounding it. There is no rhyme nor reason why some photos can been seen in full mode and some can only be seen as thumbnail.

Pauline
Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
The ! or ? turns up when iPhoto loses the connection between the thumbnail in the iPhoto Window and the file it represents.
The most common cause of this is User Activity in the iPhoto Library Folder. Have you altered, moved or renamed anything in the iPhoto Library Folder?
If you haven't, then try rebuilding the database. Hold down the apple and option (or alt) keys and launch iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
