How to exit full screen mode mail message

Inexplicably, when i open messages in Mail, they appear in something like full screen mode. The message viewer window is not in full screen mode, but if i open any message, the message takes up the whole screen. I can drag the message in order to see other things on the desktop, but i can't adjust the size of the window to the size i want, and see no way of exiting full screen mode. I lookd in Help, but it only shows how to enter Full Screen, not how to exit it.
In the View menu, there is an option to enter full screen. When i have the full screen sized message open on top, the enter full screen option in the View menu is greyed out. If i have the normal sized window for the message viewer window on top, the enter full screen is not grayed out and could be selected. I do not select it since there appears to be no 'exit full screen' option that i can see and i don't want to multiply this problem.
I know this might be a silly question, but if they have an enter full screen option, why wouldn't they also have an exit full screen option?
Or is there an exit full screen option which exists somewhere that i have not been able to find? I've searched Apple Discussions and Google but so far have not found a way to un-full screen my Mail messages. This started this morning.
Can anyone help?
I do not know how it got into full screen mode. It was not something i did deliberately or knowingly.
i have tried quitting and restarting Mail but the full screen message mode returns.
How can i get my mail messages out of this very annoying and awkward screen hogging mode?
I have only been using Mail since last November when i got a new MBP with Mountain Lion, which meant that for the first time since 1995, i could not use the simple straightforward faultless Eudroa anymore. So i have had my struggles with Mail. Trying to get through it. This is the most recent of various similar issues, inexplicable problems without apparent solutions. Sort of Microsoft-like.
I will be really grateful for any help.. thanks

It was getting really frustrating being locked into that big screen!

How to exit Full screen view to same photo

How can you go back to same photo that you viewed in Full Screen instead of the first photo in the file. Each time I use Full Screen or Compare 2 photos, when I exit, Elements goes back to 1st photo in the file. Then I have to scroll back to where I was viewing photos. There was no problem in Elements 9 on these features.
Thanks

Hi,
Are you still having a problem?
I'm assuming that you are using PSE 11.
Which operating system are you using?
In the organizer, if you select an image, switch to full screen and the exit without doing anything, does the selection stay in the same place or move to the start?
Does it matter what type of image it is?
Are you using the Esc key to exit full screen mode?

How to exit full screen mode while playing a presentation in Keynote '09

Hi, my question is: when I play a presentation it starts by default in full screen mode; I would like instead to see it in a little box, in order to be able to take notes on another file; how can I do that?

When playing Keynote will indeed take over the full screen -- there is no option for playing a presentation in a window. However, in the Preferences, under Slideshow, there is an option to enable Expose, which will allow you to switch between a running Keynote presentation and other applications.

IPhoto: I clicked Enter Full Screen by mistake, now I can't get out of it. The button in View to exit full screen does not work. I cannot see any other way to exit full screen. In full screen, I cannot see my events, nor can I do any quick fixes.

I accidentally got into Full Screen mode in iPhoto, and can't figure out how to get out of it. The last item in View is unresponsive (Exit full Screen). I've looked online but can't find any way to get out of iPhoto full screen--no arrows show on top right or bottom right. I cannot find 'events' or crop photos, the only option I have is to scroll through a certain number of photos that I don't want to see. Please, I just want to get out of Full screen mode. Please help. Thanks.

Give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

How to permanently disable this message: "Press Esc to exit full screen." (by Adobe Flash Player) in Mac's Safari Browser?

Hello everyone,
I have been searching for sometime (without any success) for a solution to permanently remove this annoying message: "Press Esc to exit full screen."
Whenever I go to full screen mode, watching any video on YouTube, BBC, CNN (or many other websites which use Adobe Flash Player for streaming video) I have to bare seeing this message for several seconds until it fades away. Seeing this message once or twice would have been okay, but as we all watch many videos on a daily basis on internet, after weeks, months and now years seeing this message over and over again many times every day, it becomes very annoying, and I find myself rewinding many videos to their beginning after this message fades away to be able to watch it from the beginning without anything obstructing it!
Does anyone know how to "permanently" disable this message from appearing?
I am using the latest version of Safari 6.0 on the latest version of OS X (Mountain Lion 10.8.1), and have the latest version of Adobe Flash Player (Plug-in version 11.4.402.265) installed on my new MacBook Pro 15" with Retina Display.
Thanks,
Ally

Thanks Carolyn,
I am attaching a screenshot here for you to see that this setting was already set to what you suggested. I didn't need to change it as it was like this even before I post this message.
So the problem still presists and unfortunately your suggestion is not a solution to this probelm.
Last night I did more reseach and found a discussion in Adobe website, it seems a lot of other people have the same issue, and even started a discussion in Adobe website about it. But unfortunately Adobe refuses to address it and enable the end user at least to have an option to turn this message off from displaying permanently on his/her computer.
I am writing down the url links for the two posts regarding this issue on Adobe's website:
Link #1: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/921270
Link #2: https://bugbase.adobe.com/index.cfm?event=bug&id=3058752
Hopefully more people will get involved and ultimately we will either get Adobe's attention, or someone will find a "hack" and post it here for all of us. I have found some suggested "hacks" for Windows environment (you can simply google it, I am sure you will find them too). But so far I haven't seen anything for Mac's Safari browser.
Cheers,
Ally

I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. How to fix

I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. I deleted this from my apps and then deleted iphoto from my purchases in macbook app store the search it the app store and it says it has still been installed. What can I do to fix it?

Well deleting it from your machine was not the way to go.
Deleting it from your Purchases List was definitely not the way to go.
So, I'm not really sure how you're going to reinstall it.
But figure that out and we can try help. Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They should be able to get it back on your purchases list so you can reinstall it.

Can not exit full-screen in iPhoto

iPhoto 9.6 under Mac OSX 10.10.1
Will not exit full screen. 'Exit Full Screen' command has no effect. Restarting the application does not help. Deleting the plist also does not help.
Any suggestions?
Steve

Did you restart your Mac after deleting the plist?
If not, delete it again and restart.
Delete
your Home folder/Library/Preferences/com.apple.iPhoto.plist
and the complete folder
your Home folder/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto

In Lion, Safari pages hang in full screen mode. If you exit full screen mode, the next page you intended to view appears.

In Lion, Safari pages hang in full screen mode. If you exit full screen mode, the next page you intended to view appears.
This happens nearly every time I use Safari. I will be clicking on links, when it appears to hang. By exiting full screen mode, upon minimizing the next page I was intending to view appears. This does not happen on all websites, but many that I visit.

Here's a stupid question, but I'm sure I'm not the only one - how exactly DO you minimize the safari fullscreen mode?? I keep reading about orange or yellow tabs which don't exist, at least on my 27 iMac. Control m doesn't work either. I wish Apple would have a basic 3 or 4 page instruction manual on this. Unless there are major bugs still. By the way, this is only one of many problems I'm having with Safari. Occasionally the tool bar just dissappears. And, don't get me started about how the dock in Lion simply stopped accepting some icons, including Firefox. None of these problems happened when I first installed Lion. Each upgrade seems to have more bugs, not less.

Exiting Full Screen Mode

Can someone offer a legitimate reason why someone cannot figure out how to place a "clearly visible" ICON that you can click to exit full screen mode.
It wouldn't even have to that friggin big, would it.
Where would it be located at. How about right near the point where you clicked to enter full screen mode.
I'd rather get frustrated hunting for it.
And restarting Firefox doesn't friggin help, does it.
Yeh, I found it, hence the post.

Note that the Full Screen button that can be found in the toolbar palette also acts as a toggle.
*https://support.mozilla.org/kb/How+to+customize+the+toolbar
You will have to accept that you need to have a toolbar visible if you want to use a button to toggle full screen mode or use the F11 key.

*View > Toolbars > Customize

"Press esc to exit full screen mode" stays on screen, wont disappear, I have to refresh page many times

Windows 7
using firefox
adobe flash player 16.0.0.305
I have tried many things and with this new computer build I did not want to try any of the 3rd party fixes for this issue. I see a ton of posts regarding this issue some referring to the problem as the creator of the game or video, some referring to Why is this still an issue why hasn't this been fixed its been years.....
So I am starting a new discussion as I cant find any relevant in time fixes for my issue all I see is over two years old with no real fixes for the issue. So I hope I am just missing it.
Anyways here is the issue I would love to just disable it make it go away entirely. I know I need to press esc to exit full screen mode. Most of the time it does disappear and that would be fine too but while I am watching hulu videos in my queue and escaping between full screen mode and normal mode to add next show to queue and then going to next show in queue sometimes I have to refresh the page to make the bubble disappear.
Is there anything I can do? and I quote many users before me in stating "Why is this stilll an issue?"

Hmmm lets see well in reply to your answer and comments. I only use firefox. I wrote an app about 6 months which without any user intervention could really mess up chrome. I could download passwords from chrome unencrypted so I do not use chrome I avoid it like the plaugue. Internet Explorer kind of the same issue but in reverse seems to be pretty secure but huge and klunky. So I only use firefox. I just refreshed it which fixed an issue I was having with a sign on issue with swagbucks ext add on not remembering who I am and so on. I will see if this has any effect.
To continue on this issue though if you know hulu at all. If I pick the next show I want to watch manually, which would technically load a new web page as a "refresh" It always disappears, However if I use the queue option or auto watch mode I really don't know how to properly discribe this. If I just let it finish a show and it automatically picks the next show. Then I assume that flash player programming is causing the web page change and so somehow yes the webpage changes but the "refresh" does not occur or inother words the flash player keeps running doesn't get refreshed and over time several things occure. If i watch about 5 shows in this automated matter flash starts to really eat up my memory and then the esc message starts to not disappear.
Also randomly I can not tell which ads cause this of course, I would love to be able to give you or hulu more info but There is an add that gets ready to play during a show. This add causes my antivirus to throw a fit and blocks it, then flash player crashes I would assume because of the failure to load the add and play it.
I understand your description of why it is the way it is and that makes since. But for us wire cutters or cable cancelers, I watch tv through online use and for whatever reason flash is the only option. and having to get off my couch and go over to my computer to refresh the webpage and or reload cause of crashes is getting old.

NB100 touchpad scroll bar stops working after exit full screen mode youtube

I have few Toshiba laptops, satellite, and now netbook100.
All of them share one problem, touchpad scroll bar:
It will stop working after exit full screen mode in youtube.
Here is how to reproduce the incident:
1. using any mainstream browser, start playing a youtube video, click full screen button at the bottom right corner of the video.
2. click on the [cross] to exit the full screen mode. (next to full screen button.)
3. check if you scroll bar still functioning.
4. a reboot will restore the function.
Currently, Im on vista, I believe in XP you will have the same problem.
Searching in google (touchpad scroll bar stops full screen youtube) will return more people share the same question but no answer.
Environments: win xp all, win vista all.
Windows all most updated driver, touch pad driver up to date.
This is not a major tech problem but for a netbook, this is very annoying.
If anyone have this problem or answers, please share it here.
Thank you in advance.
regards.

I had the exact same problem on my laptop and after a lot of searching, I finally found the simplest solution that really works for me so here goes:
Once you exit the full screen video and the scroll pad has stopped working, click once anywhere on the youtube page(just to unfocus from the video) and press the spacebar button on your keyboard twice.
Et voila, your scroll pad should be working again. Beats the hassle of having to log off everytime.
Hope this helps

FM9: Exiting Full Screen Mode?

How can you exit full screen mode in FM9? the only way I could do it was by closing all of my files, quiting FM, and relaunching FM.
There seems to be no shortcut key associated with bringing the program out of full-screen mode. If you can see the menu bar, you can't select Standard Screen Mode.
BTW: There is no documentation of Full Screen in the FM 9 User's Guide.

Thanks for the tips. Right-clicking is a nice one, since it depends where you click and there is no intuitive guidance on that. I do not think that this can be viewed as purely a documentation issue. It is a design issue: if there is an option to change screen modes, it should be included in the View menu, just like it was done in Photoshop. That is the obvious location where you would go look for it. And even in Full Screen Mode, using the Alt key brings up the menus, so there is an easy escape without having to consult the help files or forums to found out hidden tricks. As technical authors, we should not accept the blame when it is shoved on our plates by user interface designers who obviously made a mistake here. Yes, it should also have been included in the documentation but that is not the only action that should be taken.
Another option of course is to take the feature out of FrameMaker altogether. Why would I want to enter Full Screen Mode in an editor, anyway? I know I did, as I was checking out features that I had not seen before. But what's the point of this feature for this program ?
I agree that it's not only a doc bug, but an UI design bug. Consider filing a report to help improve the next release.
If you're only using FM as a text editor, you're losing out on its visual layout abilities.
Full-screen viewing enlarges the useful work area. Users who are comfortable working with keystroke shortcuts may prefer both the increased space, and decreased clutter.
Some space-pinching practices that can benefit from more space include viewing a document's two-up page spreads, and tiling multiple documents. For example, using a narrowed TOC, index, or generated list of cross-references adjacent to a wider document page, to navigate through documents, "hyper-clicking" (Ctrl+Alt+Click) in the generated document and moving the insertion point to the linked destination, while not losing sight of the jumping-off-point.
