HT2506 Preview is now opening full screen always. Want it window size

All of a sudden, Preview is opening images in Full Screen only. It used to open in a window. I have looked everywhere to change this back from full screen to window size. I have checked the Preferences and Get Info. Please help and tell Apple to quit messing around with our apps. :-) So annoying.

Press the escape (esc) key to exit full-screen mode. Close all windows. Quit and relaunch Safari. Does the same thing happen?

Since upgrade to 3.6.7 the emoticons window on a forum I use always opens full screen, not as a small window. How can I get it to open as a small screen again.

Since upgrading to 3.6.7, when I go to a forum I'm active on and click the emoticons icon in the reply box, the emoticons window opens full screen, and not as a small screen like it did before. I can click on the box to make it small again, but next time I open it, it's back to full screen. Ok, not a major problem, but really rather annoying. I've tried to find a way to get it back to opening the way it did before, but to no avail. Does anyone know how I can solve this little problem?
== I upgraded to 3.6.7

No-one got any ideas on this then? It's definitely a firefox problem, as when I open the forum page (mentioned in the OP) with Opera or Chrome, the emoticons window opens as a small window, same as FF used to before the upgrade.

Reader XI do NOT want opening FULL SCREEN!

I am running Adobe Reader XI Version 11.0.2 on a Dell Windows 7 workstation with dual monitors. We generally have a dozen applications open and we bounce all around between them. Whenever I open a PDF document which ever monitor it was opened on last, it will open maximized on the display. I do *NOT* want it to open maximized and I have searched high and low, tried setting Preference settings for Full Screen, Documents, everything I can find and no matter what I do, as soon as I open a PDF it's full screen. I can get it to change how the document appears in the full screen view, like fit page or zoom to width, but it always opened FULL SCREEN!
How do I turn this feature OFF?!?!?!?!?!

I think I found the cause of the issue. In my case, I use the Adobe Customization Wizard XI to create a transform file for installation. One of the options I have enabled is under Direct Connect. Under the "Property" table I have the option DISABLE_BROWSER_INTEGRATION set to YES. I originally set this value because I didn't want PDFs to open within IE in my environment, I wanted it to open in Acrobat. I found that in version XI, the usual place to control this setting within Acrobat was no longer there. In previous versions, I would go to Edit > Preferences > Internet and enable/disable the option to "Display PDF in browser".
The workaround that I have done for now is create a separate transform file with the option set to NO. I uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it with the new transform file. To prevent PDFs from opening within IE, I have to go into Manage add-ons within IE and disable the "Adobe PDF Reader" add-on. The problem is that disabling the add-on within IE is profile-specific, which means that if I have multiple users that share the same computer, I will have to change that setting for each user, which is a bit inconvenient.
I was hoping that this setting would be as easy as finding it in the registry somewhere and changing it there, but no such luck for me. I looked over the registry and didn't see where the key or value was located. Hopefully someone else with more knowledge than me can solve this puzzle.

Word docs don't open full screen on iBook

My brother, up in Maine, I'm in NY, has an iBook with Word X on it. (I don't know the version of OSX he has but he probably hasn't updated it since he bought it... I am not sure of the model of his iBook either. I can find out.) His main complaint is that Word documents don't open full-screen (once he drags the window to fill the screen) upon reopening or with new blank documents.
I am wondering if Word doesn't like certain screen resolutions. I don't know what he is using now but I have suggested he try some others. Does anyone know if Word docs won't act right under certain screen resolutions? Or if it is something else, what can we do so that docs open fully.
He bought the Mac thinking it was easier to use but this one thing has kept him from using it at all! He is using this for his business, a used book shop, and would use Word to list books. I hope to fix this so he can see the value of the Mac.
Cheers,
John
(who's been using Macs for years.)

We really need to know which version of the OS he is using, and the iBook model would be good to know, too.
You may want to poke around on Microsoft's Mactopia and see if there are some hints for him there.

Prevent documents opening full screen

Is there a preference (or file) that can be set/modified to prevent all documents from opening full screen? Opening a 100x30 pixel image and have it cover my entire cinema display is not helpful. Thanks!

- Just upgraded to CS4 on a Mac...
- Turned off "Open new documents as tabs"... I like to have multiple files open so I can see them all at once.
I made a big upgrade from Fireworks 8 to CS4, and what I liked about the old version was that opening a small image would open an appropriately sized window. Now, even if my file is an image that's 10px by 10px, the entire screen is covered. Actually, I just ran an experiment opening an image that is 200px by 26px. In Fireworks 8, the window opened to 331px by 282px. In CS4 Fireworks, the window opened to 1606px by 1072px. I'm forced to resize the window every time I open a file.
Thanks!

Preview Aperture Book in Full Screen

Hi,
I'm working on a Macbook Pro 13" and would like to view my photo book in full screen so that I can get a better look at it before I send it off for printing (the inspector takes up 1/3 of the screen which limits the size of my book pages). I recently moved from iPhoto to Aperture, and I'm sure I remember previewing my books in full screen in iPhoto. I'm sure there is a way to view the book pages in full screen in Aperture, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

On Clicking Entrance hyberlink, wanting Flash to open Full Screen

Hi,
Hopefully, someone can offer their expertise-
If you go to my website "entrance" page, you will notice the
"flash" side of my site as "Studio Entrance".
In the html code, I would like to have the visitor to the
site, click on "Studio Entrance" and then the flash site open FULL
SCREEN.
Because the images are 900x600, I need as much screen real
estate as possible. I notice that even though some computers are
1024x768, sometimes they have to "scroll" to the bottom of the
flash site to see the links.
PLEASE HELP!
If you view the page source on the index page, you will of
course, see the coding.
I attempted to insert your suggestions to another user but no
luck.
My email address is: [email protected]
I sincerely appreciate your help.

The flash swf has
'width="1000" height="700"
You could set it to width 100%
Has its merits and demerits. Test it on different resolutions
and see if it
works for you
The flash swf file has a height of 700px. Most users will end
up having to
scroll. Same for the page with the pic.
You could put the navigation links both at the top and
bottom. Regardless
with a height of 700px, viewers with 800x600 px resolution or
even 1024x768
will not see the entire flash content. Should try and not
exceed height of
450 px or 500px. Would also reduce the size of the file
You cannot lose until you give up !!!

is there any way to make any apps to open in full screen at start up or even when everytime u open app from dock. i searched google but couldnt find any real solution for this issue.
if you help me ill be gratful,sorry for my bad eng.
Thankx

If you want to open all applications you want in full screen, open the apps and put them in full screen. Then, go to System Preferences > General, and untick "Close windows when quitting an application".
By doing this, when you reopen the apps they will open at the point where you left them when you closed them (in full screen)

How can I get Top Sites to open full screen?

27 thunderbolt is now not full screen

I have a 27" Thunderbolet display added onto my 27" iMac. Today, turning it on, the Thunderbolt display is now not full screen - it has been for several months till now. Any ideas?

Reset the PRAM by holding Command-Option-R-P on startup. If that doesn't work try in safe mode by holding shift on startup.

JInternalFrame Full Screen Exclusive mode lag Windows 7?

<font size=2>Hi everyone I'm not sure if i'm posting this question in the right category so feel free to move it. I recently have been playing around with full screen exclusive mode and JInternalFrames. Now what iv'e noticed is on every platform i've tried it works fine. When clicking and dragging the JInternalFrame to a new location it is quick and responsive. However when doing this same operation in Windows 7 the JInternalFrame lags significantly behind the mouse location as i'm dragging the internal frame. I haven't had a chance to test this on any other Windows platforms such as Vista or XP but I don't think it happens on those platforms, at least I don't remember this ever happening when I had Windows Vista and it doesn't occur in Mac OS 10.6.
The following are the circumstances i've found that produce this problem:
*1. The program is set to Full Screen Exclusive mode.*
*2. You are using Windows 7 (possibly other Windows platforms)*
*3. Click and drag a JInternalFrame to a new location.*
I've tried several things to see if it fixes the problem such as setting the look and feel to cross platform but nothing helps. In fact when the LAF is set to cross platform it is even worse.
Now i'm new to Full Screen Exclusive mode so i'm guessing (hoping) this is a problem caused by an error on my part. Here is the source code, i'd appreciate it if you give it a try. My question is how do I fix this lag so that the JInternalFrame is quick and responsive to the user dragging the window and i'm also wondering if this only happens on Windows 7 so if anyone could also tell me if they experience the problem I am describing and the OS you are using that would be great. Thank you guys :)
Also any input about wether i'm setting up full screen exclusive mode correctly would be much appreciated too.</font>

I don't see the lag you describe. There's some flicker when moving the internal frame around rapidly (it looks as if the borders follow the content a split second later, but can't be caught in a screen capture) but that's no different when I show the internal frame in a normal (not full screen) window.

db<font size=2>Thanks for your reply and thanks for testing out my code. Could this lag be something wrong with my VM on Windows 7, cause the lag is extremely bad as in it takes a couple seconds for the internal frame to catch up with the mouse. I also just noticed that any other components in full screen exclusive mode on Windows 7 lag as well. Such as scrolling though a large amount of text, the scroll bar will lag far behind the mouse location and take a couple of seconds to catch up even when the mouse is moving fairly slow. I was hoping it was something in the code I was doing wrong but I guess not? Any suggestions on how I could fix this problem? It really makes my applications appear sluggish. For example when you click on a normal window such as in Windows Explorer and drag it to a new location the mouse stays in a fixed position on the window while you are dragging it. However with this lag the mouse appears to be "detatched" from the window and does not stay in the same location on the window while dragging. Does anyone else experience this or is this normal? I'm using Windows 7 64bit but I don't think that would make any difference. I'd also like to point out that I'm using Java 6 update 21 I don't know if that would make a difference opposed to update 17.
Thanks again.</Font>

Cannot get out of full-screen view of main window of Mail.

I went into full-screen with the main window of Mail, and now cannot get out of it, even when quitting and relaunching. Exiting full screen only shows separate window for the highlighted email. How can I reverse this?

Push your mouse cursor to the top until the menu drops down. At the far right corner is the leave full screen icon. Select it.

Safari always loads small window size It leaves a wide margin on both side of the window. I have to always increase size press AA several times. How can I have it bigger by default ?
Changing the font size does not work. Many Thanks

Hi Bee
This is not what I mean. I'm not a new user of computers. Even when the window fills the screen. There are wide boarders either side, have to press the AA serveral times to increase web page (in the tool bar top left) so that the web page fits the window.

6.0.1 update lost default window sizing and all windows open full screen now, why and how do I get my original window sizes back?

After updating Firefox to version 6.0.1, all browser windows open in full screen size. I need new browser windows to open in their original default size since I use a website for work that opens multiple browser windows.
I used to be able to fix this problem by renaming my localstore.rdf file in my profile and then restarting Firefox but this does not seem to work in this last update.
This appears to be a recurring problem for Firefox and it's extremely frustrating.

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it.

How to get Quicktime to always open full screen?

If I click a video file I want to watch it. So I have a script to get it to play straight away, but how do I get quicktime to go full screen when a video file is loaded?

Command-f after the file has opened.
Use QuickTime Player Pro to set the movie "Presentation" properties to have the file open at full screen at launch.
