How To Make Screen Controls Disappear In Full Screen Mode?

I downloaded Quicktime 7.2 and even though I have selected Edit/Preferences/Player Preferences/Full Screen and under Controls, Display Full Controls, Hide after 2 seconds -
When I am watching a video in full screen mode, for example the latest Keynote Address by Steve Jobs, the control panel which accesses Stop/Pause/Fast Forward etc., does not disappear regardless of how long I wait. Additionally the mouse pointer does not disappear either.
I have to move the mouse pointer off the screen and/or move the Control Panel all the way down out of the way for it not to be visible.
If I Deselect the "Display Full Screen Controls", then of course the controls do not appear, however the mouse still stays on the screen in full screen mode.
How do I correct this. The Windows Media Player functions perfectly when I watch movies in full screen - controls disappear and so does the mouse. If I move the mouse, they reappear then disappear again after a few seconds.
Any advice in correcting this would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Yes, this is annoying, however I'm glad you 2 guys finally posted. This is what I've found out so far. If you delete the .plst file (do a search for for it), it appear that it will be recreated again by Quicktime. That cured the problem with the Control Panel disappearing after the preset time set in preferences. However, the pointer will not disappear. I tried to uninstal and reinstall and also view different movies, but it will not disappear.
So give that a shot and see if that resolves 50% of the problem. In Media Player, the control panel and pointer disappear in Full Screen mode. In Quicktime there seems to be a quirk. I've searched on this forum, but have not been able to find any other threads that indicatd a resolution to this issue. So let's hope that someone does or that Apple figures out the problem and issues an updated version for this.
There was a new update that I received over the past few days and I was hoping this would resolve this issue, but it didn't.
I've also read here that going to Windows Safe Mode and activating QT, watching a movie, then going back to normal mode fixes some issues. I've tried that too, but the pointer just will not disappear.
I've tried disabling the Control Panel and then it won't appear at all, but the mouse pointer always does and the only way is to move it physically off the screen. When you move it the Control Panel will appear for a few seconds, then disappear again.
Try these things out and comment on what you discover.

    Settings you make in ACR for a Raw file are written to the separate XMP side car file. (The Camera Raw preferences has this set by default and to my opinion it should stay so, but the other option is to save them in a central database)
    However, opening the same file in ACR and make new adjustments the previous settings are overwritten by the new ones. You can save them separately but that would be a hell of a job. If you want to be on the safe side you should make a proper back up of the whole folder (be sure to have the XMP files included, by default those are hidden files in Bridge) before someone else starts playing with the settings. However, you can always go back to the default version using the option in the little menu icon next to the name op f the panel (first panel is Basic). click on the icon and from the provided menu choose 'Reset Camera Raw Defaults' to go back to the originals.
    I don't use jpeg in ACR very often but I believe ACR settings for jpeg and tiff are written in the XMP data in the file itself instead of a separate XMP file. You can revert to default or make new settings that also overwrite the older settings.
    Making adjustments in ACR shows the results in Bridge (it uses the XMP data for the preview) but to make it visible in other apps you also have to save them in Photoshop itself to make the changes persistent so that mail and print reflect your settings.
    So basically, let her play with the files and either chose the option to save the files (bottom left in ACR Window and choose the wanted provided options or open and save them in Photoshop to get the proper result. And if you want to be on the safe side let here use her own copies and keep the originals to your self.

  • In v.11, how do I burn a DVD to full-screen? I tell it to, but the program keeps burning to widescreen.

    In V.11, how do I burn a DVD to full-screen?  I have told it to, but it keeps burning to widescreen.

    Rodney
    Great news. Great job sorting through the details.
    The core of your issue went to the differences between Premiere Elements 9 and 11 and its default project presets and how project preset is set.
    Some of the factors are found
    http://www.atr935.blogspot.com/2013/04/pe11-accuracy-of-automatic-project.html
    Add to the mix, that the project preset directs the program to make certain settings (assumptions). So, if you have a HD project preset, you are going to see NTSC_Widescreen_Dolby DVD set as the default in the burn dialog. I am guessing that you were letting the project control setting the Premiere Elements 11 project preset, and it was giving you its default NTSC AVCHD Full HD1080i30 instead of NTSC DV Standard.
    But the ground rules are
    a. know the properties of your source media
    b. set the project preset to match the properties of the source media (if the project does not do it right, then you set the project preset manually)
    c. keep the export settings consistent with the other project settings.
    I will spare you the rest of the details for now. Just know, please do not hesitate to ask if you have questions or need clarification.
    Thanks.

  • MISSION CONTROL, LAUNCHPAD, and FULL SCREEN APPS (one month later)

    I'm pretty good embracing a new thing when it comes along.  I downloaded LION the day it come out, which was over a month ago at this point. On that day, I immediately found MISSION CONTROL and LAUNCHPAD both uninituitve and pointless.  Unhandy iCandy.   And of FULL SCREEN APPS?  Not necessary on an iMac anyway.
    So I quickly sought out quick solutions to 'fix' these new features.  Launchpad and full screen apps have the advantage that they can be simply ignored.  This is a good thing.  Mission Control, on the other hand, got in the way of a beloved feature for me:  what was once SPACES and EXPOSE.  That is, I couldn't simply ignore MC because I still needed the previous helpful features in Snow Leopard.
    My solution was kind of surprising and eye-opening.  It's complicated to explain but I thought I'd share.  This conclusion is likely best suited for someone not using a small screened Mac.  It turns out that most users (with big enough screens) don't really need Mission Control, Launchpad, Spaces, or Full Screen apps. 
    At all.
    Let's go through that conclusion, one by one:
    FULL SCREEN APPS
    If you have a relatively big screen (20 iMac for instance), why do you need Safari full screen?  Unless you intend to sit across the room from the computer, no reason.  And there's lots of bright empty space when you do this.  Do you need the Mail app full screen?  If you need reading glasses, maybe, but otherwise, nope.  I find it's easier just to stretch out an app pretty big and leave it at that.
    Full screen apps DO offer a nice feature which is making your desktop, menubar, and dock go BYE BYE.  I can see where sometimes this is a useful feature, but typically -- NOPE.  Typically I want access to my dock (to switch between open apps without the added step of cancelling full screen first), and typically I want access to my menubar so that I can glance up and see what time it is or find an app menu quickly.
    The only feature I find worthy of praise with full screen apps is that they hide the clutter on your desktop.  But there's an app in the Mac App Store which makes your desktop icons vanish with the touch of a button (CAMOUFLAGE).  I mean, what's the point of a wallpaper if you bury it with desktop clutter or eliminate it with full screen apps?  If it's a busy and distracting wallpaper, umm... you picked bad wallpaper.
    LAUNCH PAD
    LAUNCH PAD offers an iOS experience inside OS X.  At first I thought it was completely silly.  After a month now, I kinda get why it's there.  Kinda.
    You see, before LP, to duplicate it's functionality, you'd have to organize folders yourself.  Put folders of various apps together.  Place them somewhere in the finder heirarchy.  Then drag those folders into the part of the dock with the trashcan.  Then you could click them open and have access to similarly themed folders of apps.  The problem here, of course, is that unless you're a power user, you'll never do this.
    So Apple thought, AH-HA, we'll just drag into OS X a paradigm that users already get from iOS.  Clumping apps together any way you like them.  The misfire, if you ask me, is not allowing users to drag the new iOS folders straight into the dock when finished.  That is to say:  copies of said organized folders.  It's as if Apple's software people have complete contempt for the dock -- and are desperate to have users abandon it.
    My problem is that I like having folders in my dock of stuff I need.  It just works, as Steve says.  Going to the same EXACT place every time I need anything is more intuitive and graceful than ADDING an app called Launchpad that launches you into a different finder altogether.  Makes zero sense and THIS is why I say, like FULL SCREEN APPS, LP can basically be abandoned.
    By the way:  need proof that Apple has complete contempt for the Dock?
    MISSION CONTROL/SPACES
    A month has passed since MC was introduced and SPACES was eliminated.  I dare anyone to tell me why either is needed at all.  Before you get iMiffed, humor me for a moment and hear me out.
    The notion of SPACES was that it's a neat way to keep like minded open apps together.  I totally bought into this, back in the day.  So much so that I was iMiffed when it was gone in Lion.  But let's look at this closer.
    The REASON why we needed SPACES was that we could have WAY too many windows open at once on a Mac.  Right?  A big mess of windows covering each other up.  Suppose you're surfing in Safari but need iTunes?  But iTunes is hidden.  So what did you do?  You went to Spaces as step one, moused over to your iTunes space as move two, and then clicked it as move three.  Seems like a great solution until the day you discover that you could simply click on iTunes in the dock as move one and arrive at iTunes.  As one step.  Period.  Really simple, right? 
    Why have Spaces and apps dance around when you can just click the app you want and be done with it?  That's the critical observation to make in order to follow my entire line of reasoning.  Sure, it may look really cool and make Windows machines look like junk, but at the end of the day, why add two steps to something you might do 100 times a day -- switching between apps.
    So why OH why did Apple add Spaces?  Simple:  because too many apps were visible at once in one 'desktop' window.  So if you can build many new desktops, there might only be one or two in each.  Great solution.  Right?
    Wrong, as it turns out.  Because we still have the two extra steps.  It's a weak solution.  And it's in complete contempt of the Dock, which as it turns out, offers the strongest solution.
    The strong solution would be that only one app is visible in your Mac's window at all times.  Say you're in Safari.  Despite having 12 other apps open, you only see Safari.  Your dock tells you that you have other apps open, but nothing else sits in your window BUT the app you're using.  So you want to go to iTunes?  So click on it in the dock and Safari vanishes and iTunes emerges by itself.  No other windows.  What could be simpler?  (This app is freeware known as ISOLATOR.)
    If you download and try ISOLATOR, you'll say, umm, okay, but wait:  sometimes I do want more than one window in view.  Okay, fine, turn it off then.  From the handy menu bar menu.  I find that 98% of the time I need ISOLATOR on.  Mileage may vary.
    So let's recap.  One third party software removes distracting desktop clutter, the other removes distracting app windows.  Both can be toggled on and off from the menu bar.  One is free, one costs $2.  These two solutions remove the only real feature of FULL SCREEN APPS and make SPACES and it's newfangled cousin MISSION CONTROL pointless.
    Need that last one explained?  Well, what's Mission Control but a variant of spaces?  To invoke MC and switch to the needed window are those same two annoying steps Spaces added into the mix.  Nothing was fixed.  Plus, like spaces, you must invest time and energy organizing such spaces.
    Why bother?  And so I ask again:  can somebody who's read and tried the above carefully explain to me why Mission Control, Launchpad, and Full Screen Apps are really needed at all?  (Outside of small screened Macs.)  Doesn't the dock and these two sharewares together solve most problems?
    Am I missing something?

    I agree with everything you said about full screen apps, mission control and launchpad. For apps that made sense to run full screen, they already could under SL. Launchpad is totally unnecessary and Mission Control is a mere shadow of Expose and Spaces.
    However, I feel you have not given due credit to Spaces. The point of Spaces is to let one organise logical desktops for different tasks, not just a way to reduce the number of windows on display. For example, I have a Space for software development where I run Xcode and the iPhone simulator, a Firefox window showing perhaps documentation or some other websites pertaining to software development, a Finder window that is opened in the folder with my design docs. I have another Space where I have the remote login sessions, yet another Space with another Firefox window where I do general surfing and emailing. I can switch between these spaces using a keyboard shortcut, which is much quicker than having to lift my hand off the keyboard, move it over to the mouse, move the mouse pointer over the Dock, find the app and click on it, only to find that it has switched to the wrong window of the app.
    Without Spaces, organisation of my desktop is disrupted each time I want to switch task, whereas Spaces allows me to drop everything I am doing, go and do something completely different for a while and go back to my exact previous environment. I have a 27" iMac so am not short of screen space but I use Spaces extensively. BTW, switching Spaces using a keyboard shortcut is a lot faster on SL than the equivalent on Lion, thanks to the gratuitous screen animation of the latter.

  • How do you exit a game from full screen mode when the game has crashed?

    Hey there
    There has seriously got to be a better way of exiting a crashed game than just turning the power off.
    I sometimes play Sims 3 on my mac, and we all know that Sims 3 is the most poorly coded game out there, so it crashes a lot. I don't understand how you can get out of the full screen without switching the machine off the wrong way.
    I have tried every single keyboard command people say to exit full screen mode, but they don't work when the game has crashed! In fact pressed every single button on the keyboard to try and exit, but nothing works.
    On Windows it's so simple, you press the start button on the keyboard, but on a mac it doesnt work.
    So any help to what i can do?
    Thanks

    Force quit just the game itself.
    Command + option + esc
    It's like control + alt + delete on Windows.

    Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

    Unfortunately, there is no answer to this problem via this link. It may be that this is simply how the software actually works. It is a design fault in Adobe Photoshop Elements. It is possible to temporarily hide the dock within 'system preferences'. Oh well. Someone may know better.... I hope!
