How do I get full screen mode to work on my second monitor?

I have a MacBook Pro with Lion, and I want to open my apps fullscreen on my larger display. However, full screen always defaults to MBP screen.

John101,
welcome to the Discussion forums.
The Image Adjustment feature works for me on both image placeholders and dragged-in images. Did you "mark" the image, so that small squares appear around it?
Regarding your second question: the problems are solved in 10.4.4 (see http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=1496754&#1496754), so you might consider an upgrade.

How to set the full screen mode using setClip method

hi all,
how to set the full screen mode using setClip in that softkeys should not be used insteat on that need to create a own softkeys using commands.
thanks & regards
Bala.

In CS5 there are changes made to how the screen mode is reported. In CS3-CS5 the screen mode has a corresponding number. So for instance if the ScreenMode is set to "Preview Off" and you ask indesign CS3 or CS4 to display the screen mode, it will report "1936552047", while in CS5 it will report "PREVIEW_OFF".
try executing this simple command in respectively CS3, CS4 and CS5 and you will see what I am talking about:
alert(app.activeWindow.screenMode);
there is no difference if you do:
alert(app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode);
The CS5 solution is rather awkward to work with, unless I am missing something? PREVIEW_OFF is not a string, nor is it a number.
Example - doing:
myScreenMode=app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode;
and then trying to reset screenMode by something like:
app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode= myScreenMode
does not work in CS5 of course. It will throw an error. Neither will this line work:
app.activeDocument.layoutWindows[0].screenMode=ScreenModeOptions.myScreenMode;
Any way of working around this?

How do I stop Full Screen Mode from auto advancing?

I am attempting to show a PDF slide show in Full Screen Mode. The slides autoadvance and I can't find out how to stop it. I went to Preferences and made sure that the box with the faded 5 sec was not checked for auto advance but the program still advances. Any help?

I can't get either Acrobat 9 Pro or Reader X to do this and I tried with several PDFs. Unchecked, nothing advances automatically. Maybe someone else has some insite.

How to start in Full Screen mode

Hi. How can I make my flash site load in Full Screen mode by
default (using Actionscript 3 in Flash CS4)?
Thanks

The security features of Flash Player are specifically
configured to
keep this from happening. The idea is to avoid someone being
able to trick
the end user into thinking s/he is using a fullscreen app, or
something
other than Flash. Note, for example, that unless you're
developing for AIR,
full screen mode disables keyboard input:

How to stay in full screen mode when the movie is end

for some commercial reason, I need quicktime to stay in full screen mode when a movie playing is end.How can I config it? Thanks a lot.

You can place what i called a sprite in the video.
http://homepage.mac.com/qt4web/sprites/items.html
Scroll down the web page a little bit and you'll find it. You place the stop sprite a few seconds before the end of the video.
Right click on or control+click on stopsprite.mov in the above web page to open the sprite in the Quicktime player.
Click on the sprite movie, 'select all' from the menu. Click on the video you want to stop. Go to about 5 second (more would better) before the end of the video. Hit the key i on the keyboard. Go to the end of the video and hit the key o (Oh). Go back up to Quicktime's menu--->Edit--->Add To Selection & Scale--->Save As and rename the video. Done....
If for some reason the video doesn't stop add more time....10 seconds before the end of the video.

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.

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.

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: Picture becomes for one second blur

Now I noticed an additional strange behaviour.
I rendered all preview during the day.
I review all my pictures in full screen mode:
Open next picture
The whole picture is sharp
One second later: The picture becomes a little bit blur
An additional second later: The picture is sharp again
Open next picture: same happens again...
Open previous picture: It does not happen
Any idea?

But Bridge has a much better preview handling and better performance then Lightroom.
It does also automatically update the previews. And you don't have to invoke that manually :-(
Indeed. - I've always had a love/hate relationship with Lightroom - so cool in so many ways, and falls short in so many others...
If you're going to use it, you have to work around (or work with/within) it's limitations... - sorry.

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?

How To get Full screen mode on windows 8.1

I've download Firefox Aurora, and i can't get the application running in metro style (full screen app).
The Aurora version : 27.0a2 (2013-11-15)
what to do ?

hello oxxym.s, please refer to [[How do I install Windows 8 (Metro-style) Firefox?]] (when the article talks about nightly, it's the same for aurora).

How do I get full sleep mode back in Mavericks?

With the release of Mavericks full sleep has vanished. All "sleep" does now is turn the monitor(s) off. The external hard drive remains powered up, the external USB sound card's activity light remains on, the fan continues to blow hot air indicating that the processor has not gone to low power and the power LED remains constant and fully light. In ML everything used to power down and the power LED would pulsate. Does anyone know how to get full sleep back? Thanks.

Test after each of the following steps that you haven’t already tried:
Step 1
Take all the steps suggested in this support article. That's the starting point for any further effort to solve the problem. Skipping any of those steps may mean that the problem won't be solved. Note that, as stated in the article, the computerwill not sleep if Internet Sharing is enabled.
Step 2
From the menu bar, select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Accessibility ▹ Speakable Items: Off
Step 3
Select
 ▹ System Preferences ▹ Bluetooth ▹ Advanced...
and uncheck both boxes marked
Open Bluetooth Setup Assistant at startup if...
Step 4
Reset the SMC.
Step 5
Boot in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. Note: If FileVault is enabled on some models, or if a firmware password is set, or if the boot volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Post for further instructions.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal. Don’t launch any applications at first. If sleep still doesn’t work properly, back up all data and reinstall the OS. After that, if you still have the issue, make a “Genius” appointment at an Apple Store to have the machine tested.
If sleep now works as expected, go on to the next step.
Step 6
Still in safe mode, launch the usual set of applications that are running when you have the problem, including your login items, one at a time, testing after each one. Some applications may not work; skip them. You might be able to identify the cause of the problem this way.
Step 7
If sleep is still working after you’ve launched all the usual applications, reboot as usual (not in safe mode) and test again. If sleep still works, you’re done, at least for the moment.
If you still have the sleep issue after booting out of safe mode, post again.
