  • My safari window is disappearing in non full screen mode OSX Lion

    Hi Guys,
    I seem to have the following problem. not sure exactly how it started as my wife was using the mac at the time (she says she just dragged the safari to different desktop via mission control) but now the situation is as follows:
    When I hit safari icon it switches on (I can see the little light dot underneath the icon and after right click I can see names of windows that are opened) however I can only see the Safari menu at the top but no window. If I scroll to the right or left to different desktops it's not there, the same goes if I double tap to see the Mission Control mode it's not there...
    I so far figured out that once the Safari menu is visible on top of the screen I can go to View>Enter Full Screen and then Safari will come back into the full screen mode but once I unclick the full screen button in right top corner the whole window just swoops into the right top corner and it's nowhere to be found again.
    I have rebooted and it's still the same - I can only get the full screen mode or none. it's very weird. Anyone's got any suggestions?

    Thank you,
    That's not it -  Hot corners are not active, it's more like when you normally click the full screen on/off button (the two arrows facing each other) the transition happens with gray apple background and it moves either to or from full screen but here the background comes on and the window just goes into the corner and it's gone. Then when in Safari menu I go View>Enter Full Screen the window comes back exactly the same way: from top right corner into the whole screen.
    Like I can only use Safai in Full Screen mode..

  • Version 7.2.0 full screen mode does not appear in external display

    I just upgraded to Version 7.2.0. The new full screen mode is fabulous. But, when the video starts, it moves the QuickTime window from my giant, external monitor to my laptop monitor. Is there some way to view video in full screen mode on my external monitor?
    Cheers,
    Greg
    MacBook Pro   Mac OS X (10.4.10)  

    Here's a solution I thought should work for QuickTime(not pro):
    When you plug in an external monitor and choose to extend your desktop there is an extra tab in the "Display Settings" window for "arrangement". So, obviously on this page you can arrange your screens and decide which side you want your external monitor to extend your desktop on. Also, you can hold and drag the menu bar giving you the option of putting the menu bar on your external screen. So, one would think that the display that has the menu bar on it should be used as your default display. So, you would also think that QuickTime Player, when put into full screen mode, would use your "default" display to go into full screen. This seems logical, and possibly even desired behavior from a computer.
    However, this is not the case. When I gave this a try no matter where you put your menu bar the QuickTime Player will always open its full screen mode in your MacBook Pro's display. What I propose is some how (though I'm unsure of how to do this) contact apple with a feature request that would allow you to explicitly set a default display and to have all applications use that display for when it goes into full screen.

  • Use computer while in full screen

    Hi,
    I recently got a second display to go with my Macbook. I have made the new display the main one, so when I play video in full screen it plays on the new display. Problem is, when I go to full screen, it makes the Macbook display black and I cant use it. Is there a way to still use the Macbook display when iTunes is playing video full screen on the new display?
    Thanks in advance

    Hello,
    To set up multiple displays to show the same image:
    Connect the displays to your computer.
    Connecting multiple displays or a projector
    Open System Preferences and click Displays.
    Set both displays to the same resolution and color depth.
    Click Arrangement and select Mirror Displays.
    Computers with composite video output ports have mirroring built in. Just connect the computer to a display, TV, or projector using a video cable. For more information, see the manual that came with your computer.

  • Trouble viewing full screen

    I just got an ipod and I cannot for the life of me figure out how to view a movie in full screen. I play the video, but only a thumbnail comes up. I looked in my preferences and the video is selected for widescreen. Is there something else I should be doing?

    On the ipod itself, go under video settings and see what is marked, if you want full screen, turn off widescreen and make sure tv is set to off. See if that helps.
    Not sure if you mean full screen (where it fills up your entire screen on the ipod), or wide screen (where there is a black border on the top or bottom) of your ipod screen. or if you just have a small thumbnail that doesn't really play the movie, but just has the movie title on it. If that is the case, then turn the tv off.

  • MacBook Pro Retina 13" fan very loud/overheats when playing full screen video/games

    Hi,
    Just purchased a MacBook Pro Retina, refurbished (because why not - the same product for a cheaper price) around a month ago. It's the 13 inch and is the model before the most recent one came out (4GB of RAM instead of 8GB - late 2013). From the very first day, playing a full-screen video on any site (be it YouTube, Facebook, etc) just makes the fan much louder than usual (so loud that you can almost hear it more over the video itself). Thought it may have been just a thing with Flash Player being buggy, but the problem has persisted for a while now. I'm not even pushing the CPU to any limits - literally playing a full-screen video on Facebook (not even in HD) makes the fan go crazy.
    Just last night I tried installing Borderlands 2 and it was the same thing - FPS rate was fine, no lag, just the fan was so loud that I actually got scared for my computer and turned it off. After closing the app and checking out the fan temperature, it was at 91c.
    Never happens when browsing/surfing or doing my usual work.
    Should I go give it back to Apple? The thing is I start university in less than a week (and hence will be traveling), so not sure if I can afford to give my laptop in to them for a long period of time (I know it should be free though since mine is a refurb item). May it just be an issue that is quickly repairable or is this worse?

      During processor intensive activities—such as processing HD video or playing a game that makes extensive use of the graphics processor—the    fans speed up to provide additional airflow.

  • I cant get my macbook pro to have a full screen in safari please help?

    I have tried getting my full screen back and its not working please help?????

    First off, iOS 7 does not run on Macs.
    Secondly, Mac Pros are desktops, and MacBook Pros are notebooks.  Something is not jibing with your signature and what you say you are running.  Please go to Apple menu -> About This Mac to tell us your Mac OS X version.
    Go to Safari menu -> About Safari, or Help menu-> About Safari to tell us your Safari version.
    That will tell us if fullscreen is an option.

  • Safari + Silverlight + Full screen = MBP suddenly shuts off and restarts

    In the past few weeks, my MacBook Pro has unexpectedly shut off and then started back up three times. Each time it happened while I was watching full-screen Silverlight video in Safari (4.0.3) — twice on the Netflix website and once on the NBC Sports website.
    The first time I had been watching the video for several minutes before it happened; I switched to a different computer to finish my movie.
    The second time it happened as soon as I switched into full-screen. I watched the rest of the game in a window (i.e., not full-screen) without incident.
    The third time happened after seven minutes of full-screen video. I switched over to Camino (1.6.9) and was able to watch the rest of my movie in full-screen without incident.
    I've watched full-screen video in Safari many times before without problems, but the last three incidents have occurred the last three times I've done it (i.e., it now seems to be happening every time).
    Each time, my MBP was connected to power, so I don't think it's a battery issue. Could it be an overheating issue? The fact that I was running the same software combination each time suggests to me that it's a software problem, but the symptom suggests hardware. Thoughts?

    Update, As of today, they STILL haven't shipped me a new battery, they claim they are within their 5-7 business days limit still and that it might/should ship tomorrow.
    I went into an Apple Moron Bar today and inquired about swapping one out in the store (they had plenty in stock) because the Applecare tech I spoke to said that it might be a faster option. The Apple 'tech' (seriously, he might be really good at ipods, but I doubt he knows how to turn on anything worth more than $300 with an apple logo on it, much less troubleshoot it) claimed he didn't have any batteries in stock.
    "Excuse me, but you have a shelf full of them over there"
    "I don't have any for replacement, you are welcome to buy another though or I can order one from Apple"
    Great, so my MacDesk Pro is still without battery power.

  • MacBook Pro (Fall 2013) - display lag / full screen problem on 10.9.2

    I have a Macbook Pro that I bought last November.
    Specs: 2.6 GHz Intel Core i5, 8 GB 1600 MHz DDR3, Intel Iris 1024 MB, 500 GB Flash Storage.
    It was a pretty big upgrade from my Fall 2010 Macbook Air. When I first bought it a couple times the screen scrambled for half a second on ocassion. I had Apple check it and they found no problems with the hardware. After a software update, that has never happened again.
    However, in the last month (after I updated to 10.9.2) I've had two issues - both display related:
    1 - When the display is off I normally hit the trackpad and the display instantly pops back on. Now however, the screen comes up black with only the cursor  visable for about 5 seconds. The cursor moves fine, so the screen isn't frozen, but this is new and a lag I've never had on any on my macs before.
    2 - Full screen is messed up ever since the update as well. It's either blown up, or sqeezed, but never actually in full screen. See picture below:
    I ran the disk utilty in start up mode and repaired my disc and permisions. Ran Onyx. No change. I hope 10.9.3 will address this! Any suggestions or information are appreicated.

    Have you reset the SMC and the PRAM?

  • In normal view, half the page disappears off right of screen. in full screen this does not happen. what can be done to correct the screen ratio for normal screen?

    version 5 loaded on windows 7. all went well for a while. one day while using, ratio of normal screen doubled in width; i.e. half the page disappears off the screen to the right (on a wide screen). when full screen mode applied, ratio is fine. it only happens in normal view, which is the usually prefered option. I cannot determine any means within the program to resize the normal screen. nothing else is affected, only mozilla firefox in normal view. not that when program is opened from keyboard the page is correct for a moment, then enlarges the width with 1/2 page dissappearing.

    This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).

  • How to output Macbook Pro VGA to LCD TV in full screen mode?

    I Have a Macbook Pro 2007 with DVI to VGA output. I have connected it to my Toshiba LCD TV and am able to get a screen image on the TV without any difficulty. The problem is that the TV display is not full screen. I can't find any way to increase the size of the picture on the TV. Is this a limitation of the output or the TV display?
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi Macbook17Pro,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    You may need to set the resolution on your Mac's display settings to match the resolution of your tv.

  • I have a new Macbook Pro.  When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues.  When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

    I have a brand new Macbook model A1502.  I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos.  I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen.  When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted.  I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems.  Can anyone help me please?  This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use.  Thanks in advance

    First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
    There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
    Reset the System Management Controller.
    If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
    If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
    Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
    Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
    If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
    Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
    View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
    When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
    Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.

  • MacBook to TV via DVI strange for DVD full screen

    The TV has the same resolution as the MacBook (1024x768).
    The display works fine via DVI.
    DVDs displayed inside a window are ok.
    However, when playing a DVD full screen, after a few seconds the visible image part of the movie moves to the top of the TV screen (having a small part, the very top, not visible anymore on TV) - while the MacBook still shows correctly the movie (with the image centered vertically).
    It seems this is caused by the way the DVD player "hides" the commands (in full screen) a few seconds after the user stops moving the mouse. It seems the commands are displayed "below" the visible part of the movie on the Mac - while the TV "tries" to display it anyway, thus moves the whole 1/3 to the top.
    Since the TV shows the correct screen when not playing DVD full screen, it is likely to be a problem with the DVD player.
    Is there a particular setting I should focus on?

    Are you using your external screen in Mirrored Mode? If so, the TV resolution and the MacBook will have the same resolution (1280 x 800 max.). If you uncheck mirrored in Display Preferences, you'll be able to get your TV's maximum resolution. This would be called extended view. Or, you could use it in [Closed Clamshell Mode|http://support.apple.com/kb/ht3131].

  • Keep external display full screen on macbook pro

    Anyone know how to get an external display to go full screen and not exit full screen when using the internal display? When you click away from the full screen window or switch applications full screen automatically exits.
    Is there a way to write a script to tell the full screen only to exit when told to, or does anyone know of a third party program that can do this? I got the freeware cinch to help control full screen on externals but there's no use for it if it will just exit.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    To open Safari always in full-screen mode, open System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application". Then, close Safari always in full-screen mode, so Safari will always start in full-screen
