You need to move the Safari app to the Applications folder. (Always keep your apps in the Application folder).
Now open a Finder window. Select your Home folder in the Sidebar on the left. It has a small house icon.
Now open the Library folder then the Caches folder then the com.apple.Safari folder.
Move the Cache.db or (ApplicationCache.db) file from the com.apple.Safari folder to the Trash.
Restart your Mac. Try Safari.

No. Modern browsers are designed to protect users from that
kind of
manipulation. Typically, web users don't want their browsers
windows
manipulated.

Full screen games crash at launch on Bootcamp Win XP with Apple Cinema Disp

Hello,
strange issue to me. Everything goes flawlessly on Win XP on Bootcamp on my 2010 MBP 13", and games launch full screen with no problem. But as soon as I use my external 20" Apple Cinema Display, they crash immediately after launch. I wouldn't know on Windows how to get console logs etcetera.
This is an issue with all games launched at full screen. No issue in applications.
How to fix this?

Anyone, please.
This now only happens with Unreal Engine games since I chose "use this screen only" on my Nvidia preferences. I think it has to do with the Win XP drivers for this Nvidia integrated chip (Geforce 320M), which aren't much updated in Win XP. I think I could fix it by updating to Windows 7 and using newer drivers which aren't available in XP. Hope so.

Satellite A300-20P - Games with Windows 7 not working in full screen

I have Satellite A300-20P and VGA ATI 3650
I made upgrade to Windows 7 Professional
All games working well but not in full screen. I installed the last driver for ATI for Windows 7. It was working in full screen in Vista before I make upgrade.
Same problem on my brother`s laptop after he make upgrade to Windows 7.

Hi
Normally you can change the screen resolution in every game and if they should run in full screen mode or not. Check this!!!
Can you also tell us what display driver you have installed? The drivers from the Toshiba page are for desktop cards and not for mobile cards. So please use only the Toshiba drivers.

Satellite A300 PSAG0A - Games Will Not Display in Full Screen Size

I have a large number of games installed on my computer. At least 90% of them will not display in full screen size but display in a small window with a large amount of black screen surrounding the window. I am running Windows Vista Home Premium 32 bit. However, I do not think it has anything to do with Windows as my husband runs the same games on his Toshiba Satellite L300, running exactly the same version of windows, and they all display in full screen size.
Altering the screen resolution makes no difference. And, of course, I do select the full screen option in the games.
Also, sometimes when I have been playing a game and then closed it I find that my desktop picture has shrunk to the smaller size - the same size as the window in which the game was displayed when I was playing it.
The games work fine in every other way, it is only this small screen size which is driving me nuts.
I hope that someone can help me with this!!

Yes, as far as I can tell I have the latest driver. But, even this is confusing to me because....
My graphics media accelerator is Mobile Intel(R) 965 Express Chipset Family. The installed driver version is 7.14.10.1329. The release date for this is 2007-09-13, as far as I can tell from web searches.
However, on the Toshiba website for driver downloads, the available driver version is 8.2.0.1012 PV. The date is 2006-12-28. I have downloaded this driver and attempted to install it. I get the message that it has been installed but, after rebooting and checking the installed driver version is still 7.14.10.1329.
Perhaps, the 8.2.0.1012 PV version does not actually install because it is older than the currently installed version. I would have thought that the driver version with the higher number would be the newer one, but perhaps this is not the case as the dates do not seem to support this theory.
So now I ask myself, firstly, if the driver available for download on the Toshiba website is not the newest one, then why is it there?
Secondly, if it is the newest one then why will it not install on my computer?

Notification center interferes with full-screen apps (incl. games)

The new notification center interferes with games.
When you are making control movements on the screen, a little grey tab keeps appearing at the top middle of the screen.
Just from using it, it seems the notification center has a full-screen mode and a normal mode. For apps which are running in full-screen (includes games, but also built in apps such as YouTube and Photos when they are in full-screen mode), the gesture which normally brings down the full notification center just brings down a little gray tab at the top middle of the screen. You can then slide that tab down, if you really want the notification center.
But in games, the tab keeps appearing when you don't want it, and it has nothing to do with the gameplay. Even in Photos and YouTube, I would be quite happy if the tab did not appear at all in full-screen mode (a single click on these apps takes them out of full-screen mode, then you can drag down the notification center anyway).
It would be very appreciated if an iOS update could add a notification center Settings option to disable the notification center tab drag-down, in full-screen mode.
I can understand that Apple are very unlikely to add an option to disable all notifications in full-screen mode; fair enough. And if a new notification does appear during a full-screen app, then of course dragging that down should still bring in the full notification center. What I don't want is the little grey tab appearing - when I'm just operating with an app in full screen mode, and no new notifications have arrived.

I agree with both posts and have the exact same issues with iOs 5. I also feel that I've been juked by Apple into upgrading to iOs 5. I had absolutely no desire to slow down my games and add a feature that would interfere with said games, which is all I've gotten with the notification center. No disable option? Seriously, that is just one of the most absurd things I can imagine.
And I hate to burst Apple's bubble, but your CPUs and iOs do NOT multi-task unless it's the 4s (which has two cores). If you (Apple) have the notification center running in the background at the same time that I'm playing my game or typing, the iphone 4 and all versions before it are going to lag or skip while processing the notification center while it ignores the current thread (ie games, interface, etc)! This is the reason the old system was implemented the way it was. I know this for a fact (for example, any games would pause immediately when you recieved a text message, because the iphone is only capable of processing 1 thread).
Honestly, I think apple intentionally added this feature in this way to try to force users to migrate to the 4s because it's a dual core phone, and it won't experience as much lag when running two tasks.
Just add a disable option, some people NEED the performance we had in iOs 4!

I recently downloaded a 10.6.8 update and a game program has now been reduced in size. It's specifications are set for full screen, but it is about 1/4 of the size. Any ideas how to fix?

How to disable menu bar and dock when playing a full screen game? Like sims 4

i play sims 4 on my MacBook pro and if I go to close to the bottom of the screen or the top the menu bar or dock pops up I was wondering if there is A program or a setting I can use to disable that while in something full screen or gaming

The game itself should already have the option for full screen. But you can go to system preferences dock and check the hid dock option. Then you would have to go to the very edge of the screen to get the dock to reappear.

Aspect ratio for old full screen games, advice sought on buying new monitor

Hi.
I'm thinking of buying a ThinkVision LT2252p to replace the old monitor my employer threw out because I've found the old one doesn't offer scaling of the aspect ratio meaning that my golden oldie full-screen-only PC games are all stretched out of shape to fit the entire monitor.
With the LT2252p, will a 1280 × 960 desktop (or a 1024 × 768 fullscreen game...) appear on the monitor with black bars at either side or with a black border all around? (I'm hoping that's what is meant by 'Same Aspect Ratio with input signal'.) Either way is good, just so long as a circle looks like a circle and not an oval.
If it's the case that I'm behind the times and the LT2252p is getting a bit long in the tooth, what would be a suitable alternative for a graphics card with VGA and DVI only?
Thanks very much,
Dave

I can hear the sound of the game, but am unable to see it or, as far as I know, interact with it
Literally using Xmonad for the first time and I experienced some game issues with fullscreen. Specifically when running CS:GO I had a problem where the resolution was native to my monitor (1920x1080) it was running windowed and I couldn't find a way to resize it unless moving it to a blank workspace (so other windows don't infere with the mouse hook) and your then able to drag the window by xmonad commands:
mod-button1
Set the window to floating mode and move by dragging
mod-button2
Raise the window to the top of the stack
mod-button3
Set the window to floating mode and resize by dragging

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I believe the linux native games on steam use the concept of '-windowed' by default.

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.

Changing windows in a full screen game

I play Call of Duty 2 and run TeamSpeex on my iMac. My problem is that, sometimes while I am playing I need to get to the TeamSpeex window without quitting CoD2. I've tried F9, F10, command-tab, and command-m. Nothing seems to work. Is there another way to minimize a full screen game without quitting the application?

Yeah, I just tried it. No dice. It seems like all the keyboard shortcuts in the game override the OSX shortcuts.

Cannot broadcast full screen games on Windows 7 64bit

I'm going to be as descriptive as possible in this. I'm running a dual-boot system (one OS Windows 7 64 bit, the other Windows XP 32 bit)
I'm using ManyCams (but i've also tried Supercam, WebcamMax, and VHscrcap) as my virtual cam on both OS and FME. I've installed both programs on both operating systems the exact same way. I use the same exact settings for both, and I've made sure my video card drivers are up to date on both. Whenever I try to broadcast to any website (I'll use Justin.tv for this question) On the Windows 7 64 bit OS, i can capture my whole screen and everything just fine, until i go into a full screen game. I dont mean a game that's in windowed mode and taking up the whole screen, i mean a game that's running in full screen mode. The entire screen is black on the stream, but not on my monitor (obviously) until i alt-tab out of the game. Then the stream is fine and it's my desktop again. I can't capture my full screen games on my Windows 7 64bit OS. If I try this the exact same way on my XP 32 bit, it works fine with 0 problems.
Just to rule these out, it's not a problem with my internet or my specs. Take my word for it.
So, any takers on this? Is it just completely unfixable on W7 64bit or is there just something i'm missing here.
Thanks

At least you can broadcast at all I have been trying pretty much all day to get mine to stop crashing whenever I try to use my Dazzle dvc 100.. and yes I'm using windows 7 64 bit.. It worked on my old labtop that was Vista..and it still works on that but its too slow.. and its frustrating when I know I have everything I need installed and it wont work on my new labtop ._.

Xserver-1.5.3 doesn't reset resolution after ending a full screen game

xserver-1.5.3 doesn't reset display resolution after ending a full screen game.
Is this a issue of the new xserver or the ati driver (i switched from catalyst to xf86-video-ati)?
And how can i solve it?
