Full Screen Safari in Single App mode

I'm trying to configure some ipads for use as web kiosks. I can set Safari to single app mode and to only allow the one website we want used, but it still shows the bookmarks, share, new tab, and other buttons, along with the address bar, at the top. I also tried configuring a web clip for the site, and setting the web clip to full screen mode. That worked to get rid of the address bar etc, but if safari is in single app mode I can't launch the web clip, and if it's not in single app mode, the web clip works but other apps are also available.
How can I get Safari locked down to single app mode and showing the website in full screen only?
Thanks!

Full screen Safari slides open whenever I close another application

Hey all,
Probably a simple fix, but I always have Safari in full screen mode (mac laptop), and when I am working on the desktop and close a finder window or another application, my display automatically slides over to the full screen Safari window I have open. Any help on how to prevent this?
Cheers.

1. Empty Caches
    Safari > Preference > Advanced
    Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
    Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
    Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
2. Delete Cookies
    Safari > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies and other website data:
    Click the “Details” button.
    Remove all cookies except from Apple, your internet service provider and banks.
3. Safari > Preferences > Extensions
    Turn off Extensions if any and launch Safari again to test.
    Turn on those one by one and test.

Want an option to having a REAL full-screen view when in writing mode in Word (as there was in 2003)

For the present Word version (365) I have not found a way to be able to use the entire/total/really full screen estate when using writing mode in Word. (Perhaps there is a way, not discovered by me yet?) But what I want both in Word 365 and foremost in the
next iteration of Word, is the option to choose - when in writing/editing mode - the entire screen real estate, with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and nothing at the bottom of the screen either.
This must be possible to establish as an option?!
The Word 2003 had such a feature, but it (completely?) disappeared as an option from 2007 and later, as far as I can see, and this lack of being able to choose using a totally blank screen, from bezel to bezel, with no other things than what you write on
it, is for me and many other writers, who often also use a machine with a rather small screen, a significant missing feature!
As I see it, the real estate that is "given away" to give space to the two vertical columns (to give a for me the unnessary and unwanted "impression/illusion" of having to deal with a sheet of paper placed on the middle of the screen),
this real estate should instead be used as a typing "place". In other words: Many writers and others would really like to be able to use ALL the screen from left to right and from top to bottom to be filled with letters and words!
Can and will this technically be done? So that we again (as in 2003) can be given the option to choose (real) full-screen view?
I would really like to get some positive feedback from developers and decision makers in the Word developer team at Microsoft about the possibility of re-establishing this now seemingly missing option.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
As far as I know, this is currently not available in Office 2013. We are sorry that at this time we are not able to edit documents in a full screen mode that "with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and
nothing at the bottom of the screen either. "
We have passed this information to the product group for consideration for a future product or update.
Please be assured that our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.
Thanks for your understanding.

How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app?

How do I see a photo full screen in photoshop elements app? From what I can tell, I can't see a photo full screen in iphoto. I need full screen!

A file with a .PSA extension is most probably a catalog file from an older version of Elements (up to PSE5). To be able to use it with a newer version (including PSE12), you'll have to convert the catalog to the new format. In the organizer, open the 'File' menu, select the catalog manager (shift Ctrl C) and click the convert button, browse to the .psa file. Your catalog will be converted to the new format.

Single App Mode iOS 8 broken

Hi there
Noticing a problem with both Single App Mode and Guided Access Mode since iOS 8 upgrade, and not fixed by 8.0.2.
Every time a link is pressed within a web view or any external URL request, the notice "Guided Access Enabled, triple tap the home button to exit" pops up in the top bar. We have a tonne of iPad Minis out on shows with clients that are locked into one single app using one of the two methods - Guided Access / Single App.
This is a real problem since the notice is shows on every single external URL request or page load within a WebViewer.
Anyone else had this problem or know of a way of fixing it? Looking like the only fix is to jailbreak, downgrade to iOS 7 and use that - a much more stable iOS release!
Ollie

Hi Ollie,
I've found a workaround thanks to Chris from Kiosk Pro App.
You need to transform all requests (only when Guided Access is on) with navigation type "UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked" to navigation type "UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther"
One issue with this workaround is that the Guided Access message still appears for links using types "Form Submitted" and "Form Resubmitted". Trying to transform these types could potentially cause an error with loading the page.
Here is an implementation by Blandine from Adaptive Channel :
In the method :
- (BOOL)webView:(UIWebView *)webView shouldStartLoadWithRequest:(NSURLRequest *)request navigationType:(UIWebViewNavigationType)navigationType {
Just add :
if (UIAccessibilityIsGuidedAccessEnabled()) {
        if (navigationType == UIWebViewNavigationTypeLinkClicked ) {
            navigationType = UIWebViewNavigationTypeOther;
            [webView loadRequest:request];
            return NO;
Hope it helps.
Cheers,

ITunes mini player on top of a full screen Safari page

When you make a full screen Safari page, is there any way to put the iTunes mini player go on top of this page? I did this once by accident, but now whenever I try to open iTunes while in full screen Safari, the iTunes mini player opens to the main desktop page.

Thanks for the reply.
I'm listening to an audio podcast that's reffering to images on his sight. When you go full screen it shows the images best, but you lose the ability (space bar) to pause/play the podcast audio. It would be nice to be able to view and study the images a bit longer, but not having to keep futsing around with everything.
Is there a way to get the Mini player in the same Space as Safari?

Single app mode with VPP Token Managed Distribution apps?

For some reason, single app mode setting in Profile Manager will only pick up apps that have been purchased by the device/user Apple ID I.e. individuals personally purchased apps, it will not allow single app mode on pushed apps via VPP Token Managed distribution.
My questions are:
1) should it be possible to single app mode, after all MD is to help organisations 'manage' the devices? If so, what am I doing wrong?
2) is it ethical that I can see users 'personally' purchased apps when MDM allows for 'dual' managed devices
Any help would be most appreciated.

Single app mode in my IOS application

I want to implement Single app mode in my IOS application through coding. For this I am doing the following steps:-
1. I am supervising my device through apple configurator and using config profile generated by configurator itself.
2. I have selected the restriction payload to generate my profile because I want single app mode functionality.
3. According to apple documentation one key is added in Restriction payload that is “autonomousSingleAppModePermittedAppIDs” in IOS and later. But I am not able to find it anywhere to fill my bundle identifier. I have tried to add this key manually by editing the profile in text edit but this process invalidates my profile.
Here is the link reference:-
https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/featuredarticles/iPhoneConfigurationProf ileRef/Introduction/Introduction.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40010206-CH1-SW13
Under Restrictions Payload section of the documentation.
4.I have tried to generate my profile with the help of iPCU(iPhone configuration utility) as well but did not find anything.
So please help me out what I am missing here or what else i need to do.
Thanks

Profile Manager cannot set ibooks as single app mode in iOS

Right now I had updated all my iPad to iOS 8.0.2, and the server is updated to the newest version,too.
Sadly, When I want to setup the iPad to single app mode with iBooks, I cannot find it in the list.
Is this means ibooks is no long support on the single app mode? Then why give us the new function about push ibooks?
I have try the assistant function on my iPhone (8.0.2) itself, it can be locked in iBooks.
Any one can tell me what is the problem?
Many many thanks!

HI Hines,
I had the same problems after the 3.0.2 update: enrolling of devices not working, unable to push configurations from Profile Manager, etc.
The update was a simple 3.0.1 => 3.0.2 on already updated OSX Mavericks to 10.9.1 and it seemed that all was ok, not like this situation: https://discussions.apple.com/message/24450438
Services used:
-Web
-Profile Manager with 20 iPads/iPhones already enrolled and with some in-house app pushed
I followed a solution similar to what suggested from Hines, apart from point #6. I was unable to re-download Server.app from App Store, greyed-out button.
So I was very happy to have another mac to download a fresh copy of Server.app.
Then:
-Deleted and thrashed the old version
-Message "all services stopped"
-Reboot
-Copied fresh "Server.app" to /Applications
-Started "Server.app" that made some initial auto configuration
-Services restarted
I just had to restart the postgres service and seems that I didn't lost any data/config (I hope, I'm already checking!)
=begin RANT
I know that Apple is essentially an hardware manufacter manly for consumer target now but that a simple minor update broke an entire software meant to be solid, like a server must be, is just plain unacceptable.
I know that OSX Server is very cheap and we can't pretend too much....but F**K...i loosed my sleep tonight!

Full screen safari ability to bring apps into safari screen?

im new to apple OS and the fact that i run safari on fullscreen mode and then when want to say tab to limechat and it slide safari out of the picture. i want to be able to keep safari and stack whatever else i want to over top of it without going to the desktop.
any suggestion?

You need to go to upper right corner and exit the full screen mode (or escape.)
this will allow you to have more than one window (app) available to toggle between.
You can still hit the green button in upper left of Safari to have the window fill up the screen, this is different then the "Full Screen" mode.

IPad IOS 8.1 full screen safari web app display issue

My company produces a web app that is intended to be used from the iPad's Full Screen Home Screen launch.
we are using the tags:
<meta name="apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content="yes">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0, user-scalable=no" >
Since taking the updates to IOS 8, 8.1, & 8.2, when the app is launched in full screen mode from the home screen, the iPad's top line including the text "iPad", its signal strength, VPN status, current time, battery life, and blue-tooth indicators are superimposed on the top line of every page - making it difficult to read that top line of data coming from our app.
Additionally, there appears to now be a blank white band that shows up on the footer of the web app. Both of these new additions to the full screen appearance is yielding a somewhat less professional appearance.
Is there some sort of tag or other setting that we can use to hide these new areas that are appearing?

This is a better illustration. I'm thinking that the white band at the bottom of the screen should be at the top of the screen (like the iphone does) and the web content should be shifted down that amount of space.
the white band is hard to see with this white background however, but its obvious on the ipad in full screen mode... so go to the link on your device, save it to the home screen and relaunch...

Any way to turn off Safari's full screen, auto hide tab bar mode?

FInally took the plunge and upgraded to iOS 8 on one of our i-devices. Really like the Panorama camera mode-- well done, Apple!
However, I was staggered to find that Safari now hides the tab bar as soon as you start scrolling down a web page! What's with that? I guess lots people wanted a full screen mode. OK, but for the rest of us, is there an option to turn off that mode and keep the tabs permanently visible?
With the new set up (now old to many of you), it takes 2 taps every time you want to close a tab or move to another one. That gets old fast! Plus, the animation each time is visually distracting and tiring and also gets tiresome. My browsing involves a lot of switching among tabs, so this is a real step backwards.
Hope there's a work around! Otherwise, we're going to have to leave our iPad Air at iOS 7!

Jim, appreciate the reply. Yes, I have submitted it as feedback to Apple!
I also stumbled upon the tap at top... The scroll upwards, though, rarely works for me! For example, here on this site one has to scroll down a long way, quickly. (It gets confusing, doesn't it? One slides down to scroll upwards!)
In browsing today, I realized that my habit is to come to the end of a story, then tap the close button on the tab bar, which takes me to the next tab and its story. Now, under iOS 8, I end up having to tap, watch the animation, then locate the button, and tap again. It doesn't sound like much, but it's a nuisance when one is moving from tab to tab reading news stories.
Of course, if I could wave a magic wand and fix just one thing about the iOS, it would be the incredibly lousy handling of contractions via auto-correct. It virtually never works unless one slows their typing down to the speed of molasses! I've used the feedback on that one, too, but iOS 8 in any of its incarnations has not fixed that!

Disable full screen safari on iPhone

After upgrading to iOS 7, I noticed that the toolbar disappears in safari while browsing. I am a heavy user of the back button and the bookmarks button. Both of them only require a single touch to use in iOS 6. Now that the toolbar disappears, if I want to use the back button, I either have swipe completely left to right or swipe down to get the toolbar back so I can use the back button. For the bookmarks button, I have to swipe down to bring back the toolbar and then I can use it. Alternatively, I can try to chicken peck the bottom of the screen with the hopes that the toolbar will reappear. If I use this alternative approach, sometimes it works, sometimes nothing happens, and sometimes I hit an ad by mistake.
Is there a way to disable full screen mode in safari on iPhone? I will gladly give up the additional real estate to have a persistent toolbar. It works better with the way I browse.

Try this app. I've used it for a year or so and it takes full screen pics. It doesnt offer a ton of advanced functionality but it works. It also allows users to take photos by tapping anywhere on the screen (which was my original reason for downloading). Enjoy

Dock doesn't show in full screen Safari

I have the dock set to reveal itself when I go to the bottom of the screen. When I'm in full screen mode in Safari it takes me swiping down at least 3 or 4 times before the dock will appear. I've tried it in other apps on full screen and it still doesn't react as easily as it should but not as bad as Safari.
I'm assuming only an update from Apple will fix this. I'm posting here in hopes they read this and fix it. (Hope I'm posting in the correct area for that).
Thanks

Well you could try rebooting or
in the terminal.app relaunch the Dock, copy and paste:
killall Dock
