How do I shrink back from full screen to normal window in Safari?

How do I shrink a full screen back to a normal window in Safari?

Safari 8
When the window is in FullScreen mode, move the mouse over to the top of the screen.
When the window navigational buttons slide in from the left, click the green button.
By the way, this thread is two years old.

  • Yosemite: How do I get back from full-screen to original window size?

    Okay, so today I used iPhoto for the first time since I reluctantly upgraded to Yosemite on Friday.
    iPhoto is one of the few apps I often take into full-screen mode, and so obviously I noticed today that they've kindly taken away the full-screen arrows in the top right-hand corner of the window in Yosemite.
    Posting a question about that in Support revealed the 'new improved' way to go full-screen, which is to click on the green traffic light in the top left-hand corner of the window.
    Fair enough, but how do I get my iPhoto window back to the size it was before I went full-screen? I tried clicking the green-button again, but that insists on the window being what I call 'maximised', ie. spread across the entire width of my desktop. I want to snap from full-screen back to the window size I had before going full screen.
    The arrows in the top right-hand corner used to do that perfectly well, but they're not there any more so I'm having to resort to laboriously re-sizing my window each time, which is far from ideal.
    Anyone able to advise me please?

    Do we know if it is iPhoto-specific, or do all app windows behave in this way?
    Actually, I suppose I could find that out for myself...

  • I cannot get back from full screen to normal view

    On full screen, there is no back button or any button other than the browsing tabs. I have to close firefox using task manager
    system is dell mini 10 using windows 7 starter.
    latest firefox, 3.6.10 downloaded today

    I got a way away from this problem. When in full screen, if you move you mouse to the top right corner of your screen, there would be the options "Close", "Restore" and "Minimize". You should click on restore and the screen would come back to the normal view. Thanks.

  • How do I get back my "full screen" videos?

    After updating the flash player my videos no longer appear as full screen but the entire video is located in the top left hand corner of the screen? I want my full screen back?

    Do you mean that one of the pages open in the sidebar at the left and another page in the regular browser window?
    Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
    You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
    In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
    Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected.

  • Firefox doesn't bring back the menu bar when toggling back from full screen view(F11)

    I have recently been using the full screen view (pressing F11). This works fine until I press F11 again to resume normal view when the menu bar does not appear. This means I cannot see the minimize / maximize / X buttons on the top right. Also, if there is another window open i.e. Word sometimes parts of this show through on the Firefox window. I try to use the latest version and so am currently using version 3.6.8
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == Not sure - maybe after the latest update?

    No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
    Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
    But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
    So anybody with further info, please post it here.

  • Have 1-inch black border on each side monitor - how do I get back to full screen?

    Have a one-inch black border each side of screen, can't move out to full screen horizontally?

    Check that you have selected the correct screen resolution for your Mac in System Preferences>Displays. Depending on OS it's either 'Best for built-in display' or the top one on the list of screen resolutions.

    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities
    I think that something was damaged when you upgraded OS X. This can happen, and it looks like it happened to you. In your case, I recommend you to make a backup and reinstall Mountain Lion erasing the disk:
    1. Press Command and R keys while your Mac is starting, and open Disk Utility.
    2. Select Macintosh HD in the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and reinstall OS X. After installing OS X, restore your files manually and reinstall the applications
    If this doesn't work, you can install Snow Leopard again:
    1. Insert the Snow Leopard disc and press C key while your Mac is starting.
    2. When the disc has started, open Utilities menu > Disk Utility, select the hard disk at the top of the sidebar, go to Erase tab and erase the disk.
    3. Close Disk Utility and install Mac OS X. After installing, open  > Software Update to install the most recent version

    @Naiks, having suffered through unsuccessful synching attempts for Calendar and Contacts myself, l would suggest you try the following:
    UNINSTALL iCloud control panel from your PC. Seems silly, but do it.
    Go into Outlook, and look at the very top menu. Click FILE, then ACCOUNT SETTINGS, then click the popup box.
    You will see a list of all your email accounts. Make sure that ONE of them has a checkmark against it. If not, select the account your want as your default, and click "set as default.
    Exit out of Outlook and reboot your machine.
    Now reinstall iCloud, check CALENDAR and CONTACTS, and do as instructed when prompted.
    Reboot for good luck and now launch OUTLOOK. All that remains is to locate your iCloud Contacts and Calendar files, and make them your default.
    IMPORTANT: Don't panic if you can't find your contacts -- they're there. Click CONTACTS and you'll see you have several available contact files. Locate the one label "iCloud" in grey type. Right-click on it, select PROPERTIES, then click the Outlook Address Book tab. Check the box that says something like "Make this my default Outlook Address Book." Keep clicking "apply" and "okay" until you've exited out of the dialog box maze.
    You may have to do something similar with your Calendar files. I dd not, but if you need to, do it.
    Everything should now sync pretty seamlessly.
    I didn't have the exact same problem as you, but my dilemma was close enough. Good luck!

  • How do I stop videos playing full screen on iPhone 5c?

    Hi
    I've recently purchased the iPhone 5C and I'm having trouble working out Safari and playing audios. When I click an audio (ie.. a radio programme on download) it immediately expands to full screen and I cannot find a way of going back to the safari screen. I have to keep the audio playing until the end and then it seems to switch back. I know there's probably something really simple I can do to stop videos and use Safari to browse something else, but for the life of me I can't work out what! help please!
    Thanks
    Alun

    OK - so someone sent me a downloadable audio file on dropbox. I clicked "download" and it immediately opened safari and started playing full screen. I couldn't do anything to stop it playing or open a browser window to search. how do I stop this from happening? I can't use safari until the audio has completed and returned to a safari browser screen.

  • How can I run applications in full screen on my MacBook Pro?

    I recently started using an external HP w1858 monitor as a secondary display with my MacBook Pro. I'm having troubles with running applications in full screen mode on the secondary display. How can I run applications in full screen mode on the secondary monitor?

    If you always have the external display connected, you can configure the OS to consider it as the default or main display. Once everything is connected and set to your liking (resolution, color depth, etc.), "bless" the external display by clicking & dragging the menubar from the Mac's internal display onto the external. This only works if you are not using video mirroring.
    Once this is done, applications will open by default on the external and now "main" display and you can configure them to go fullscreen or whatever.
