I want to open a file and have it fill the desktop - how??

I have recently moved over from CS2 on PC to CS3 in MAC - I used to be able to open a file and it would open up in a full window filling the whole screen - now it opens up in a box with no surrounding space. When I maximize the minute I tap cmd + the widow reduces to minimize and just zooms into a part of the file. I am sure this is basic stuff but any help out there please??
gratefully
Angus

That's the difference between Macs and Windows. Windows opens applications in a... Window.
Try hitting the F key and see if that works for you.

    Want to open 2nd tab and have it load the home page which the first tab opens. The first tab opens Google's advance search, the second tab opens a blank window. I always want Google to be in a new page.

    I never use the Intel side, and have never partitioned the MacBook Pro.

    I never use the Intel side,
    Not understood, Intel make the processor that runs your Mac, there is no other 'side' to your Mac.

  • I want to open a file and play back by clicking play icon, but Audition doesn't react.

    I've recently moved my computer with Windows 7 to Spain. Everything works fine, but not my Adobe Audition CS5.5. I want to open a file and click my play button, to play back the file, but Adobe doesn't react. Anybody know what could be wrong?

    I would try checking your hardware setup to ensure that your playback device is selected and setup properly
    From the main menu select Edit > Preferences > Audio Hardware

    I had no idea that I needed to use a CD to download my Adobe Photoshop Elements 12 onto my MAC desktop and have already registered the product; how can I now download it? I have tried looking on the web and no luck. Please help me!

    You don't need a CD to download anything; just download & install the trial from http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop_elements, then activate it with your serial number.

  • Can the phone site be disabled and have phones display the desktop site while designing phone site?

    Currently, I have a live desktop design website which is being updated regularly. I tried to begin a phone site design, but was interrupted with a change to the desktop site (I'm adding new sponsors to an event on a regular basis). When I uploaded to the FTP, the phone site was also pushed through, making an unfinished page pop up on the browser of my phone. My phone site is going to be quite large in regards to page number and it's not practical to disable and enable each individual page.
    Can I have the phone site entirely disabled and have phones display the desktop site while in the process of designing the phone app? I will still need to update the desktop site during this design period.
    Thanks!

  • I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini.  I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk.  I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini.  I want to open them up and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

    I converted from a PC to a Mac Mini.  I have my PC documents backed up on a DVD disk.  I have an external DVD drive connected to the Mac Mini.  I want to open these documents up from the DVD storage and save them to the Mac, BUT....when I put the DVD disk in the Mac is NOT reading it!

    Hi Joe,
    Thanks for your quick response.  I should add....it worked before.  When I previously inserted the two DVDs into this remote drive, and I went into finder, I could click on the "remote device" line and see all my saved documents (excel, word, etc) on the DVD and open them on the Mac.  Now I cannot see them, when I try to open them on the Mac, nothing happens, nothing is displayed.  I just re-tested the remote DVD drive with a CD and, no problem, it opened up the CD via iTunes and I cold play the CD.  SO......I know the remote DVD drive (it's an LG by the way) is fine, it's something to do with some settings on my mini mac,especially where I could open it previously.  I do not remember changing any settings since then. 
    When I go into system preferences and click on CD/DVD it gives me options of how to open up a music CD (default is iTunes), a DVD (default is iMovie), etc.  The problem is my DVD is all miscellaneious files/documents.  I just want to be able to see them in the finder.  I also tried to open them via microsoft word, from the remote disk and again, it could not open the drive, even though some of the documents were microsoft word documents.  Again, I was able to open them previously and the DVD is not corrupted in any way.  
    Any additional advice? 
    Thank you!

  • I do not want to save every file I download. just want to open a file and move on. I do not see an option to just open or run the download without saving.

    Please give an option to just open and run a download without saving.
    I have a bunch of the things saved in the download folder that I have no clue what all of it is. Please I do not want to save everything I download, I would like to just open a file move on.
    Thank you.

    sorry but there is no option like this.
    but if you like you can delete them manually
    for these :
    1.open downloads from menu button on right or by simply pressing (Ctrl +J )
    2.Then select the downloaded file you want to delete by a single click on it.
    3. You will find a folder type icon on right side of that , in which you should click.
    4. Then it will open folder where the selected file saved.
    5. Then you can delete that file .
    OK done

  • Since updating to newest version, I can't open g-mail and have to use explorer. How can I fix this?

    Since updating to new version of Firefox, I can't open my g-mail-this is sporadically. I have to go to internet explorer and have no problems at all. It is very frustrating and I want to either get it fixed or go back to the old version even though my college I attend does not support the browser.

       Yes, I checked for updates and was given a message that my Firefox was updated and my Lion, too.  I get no error messages with Firefox.  It just won't work.  If I click on a video link, nothing happens, yet if I switch to Safari, it works.  I went to the Firefox website and follow directions for that--turned off proxy--yet, it still doesn't work. 
         As for MS Office/Word, I get a message saying it is activated, yet it never opens.  When I try to open a document, it just keeps taking me back to the registration page where it says I don't need to register it.  It has been maddening.

  • How open a file and not showing window?

    I write a script to do some work automatic,
    for Indesign script, its application open method could open a file and not showing window,
    the open method has a parameter [ShowingWindow] (if true, show the document window).
    That is good a feature for me.
    But with Illustrator, the application open method hasn't the same feature.
    Open
    (files as String,
    [documentColorSpace as AiDocumentColorSpace],
    [options as Object])
    and for OpenOptions properties, there is not useful information for me.
    Is there any other methods could do that?
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thank for your reply.

  • Why every time I dowload a file in firefox I have to refresh the desktop in windows 7 to see it?

  • I have an itunes account and have an extensive library -on a computer that is no longer working...want to open my account and download music I have purchased to a different computer...how??

    Have an itunes account on a computer that is currently not working. Just installed itunes on a new laptop. Want to transfer music from near dead computer to my laptop. I can't access the 'home sharing' button on other computer - so is there a way to get my itunes music library on this computer?

    It depends what not working means - if the hard drive is working and you can access it say in a USB caddy you might be able to find the media files and copy over to the new iTunes, but it may depend on how your user accounts are stored.
    Alternatively for iTunes store purchases, on the new computer open itunes and go to the store Home Page.  On the far right under QuickLinks you should find a Purchased category - this will let you redownload content from the 'cloud' if available in your country.
