Mail attachment issues in full screen apps

This is an interesting issue. So far it only occurs with MS Excel. When Mail is open as a full screen app and I open an xlsx file attached to a mail message the screen shifts back over to the desktop screen as it should, but the Excel window remians locked with the Mail full screen app. At this time, I cannot swipe back over to Mail, it just shifts back over to the desktop screen every time I try. The only resolution that I have found so far is to quite Mail from my dock icon and relaunch. This then moves the Excel window to my desktop screen.
I wonder if this is only an issue with programs that do not suppport full screen apps.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Marc

Have you tried toggling - Command, Control, F
If you do a 5 finger swipe up do you see Apple Mail as it's own desktop? If so when you expand Apple Mail use the green traffic dot in the upper left side instead of the full screen double arrow on the upper right side.

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I'm disappointed with the performance. Any

Since loading Lion, I've experienced much more instability than Snow Leopard. In particular, Mail crashes with regularity, full-screen apps seem to run slower and show the beach ball more often for longer, etc. I love the features, but I'm disappointed with the performance. Any help coming from Apple? I've been sending them so many reports after crashes, that their file must be full!

Summoning max. courage, I did what you advised. Here is the result. What does this tell you? My Lion 7.2 (mid 2011 iMac) has several annoying glitches (which I have so far tolerated through gritted teeth) but none that have actually stopped me working.
BTW, I see several items involving CleanMyMac which I did not know I had. It is generally villified as a trouble-maker. Spotlight can't find an app. or a utility of that name. How can I get rid of what's there please? Just delete?

Issue with full screen apps quitting

I am having problems when I exit a full screen app on OSX Mountain Lion!!! It does't happen all the time but when it does the only way I could fix it is log out and log back in!!
The problem is when I quit a full screen app the desktop it created to open the full screen app on remains blank and doesn't close so I end up with my 2 desktops and blank desktops which is really annoying when I want to switch between desktops or other full screen apps!!! Anyone else having this problem?? PLEASE HELP!!!
I am using a Retina Display Macbook Pro!

So this is what I get in Mission control when I exit a full screen app ( look at the blue safari thing ) and when I press it I get this:
Anyone else having this problem?? Plz help if you know a way to fix it!!

Mail sending issues in full screen

Hey All,
When mail is in full screen and you are composing a message, the message box doesn't disappear after you click the send button. The little paper airplane button turns off. When you click it again it turns back on. So on and so forth.
A colleauge told me that they recived my email like 10 times because I kept clicking the button.
As soon as I got out of full screen view the compose message box disappeared and the message was sent.
Anyone else experiance this problem??

Right- mouse click in the top part of the toolbar:
Hope you can get it!

Macbook air mini dp output resolution / full screen app issues

I've successfully connected my new macbook air 13" to my LED tv with a mini DP to hdmi adapter + hdmi wire. I am able to get video and audio (obviously.)
My issue is that no matter when resolution I try (1080p, 1080i, 720p, etc) and wether I am "mirroring" the display or "extending" the display,
My samsung 46" LED tv can not get full screen there is always black bars on the left and right.
When I connect my PC via VGA wire there are no bars and it is in full land scape view.
Also I've noticed in lion that full screen apps show up as the "linen wallpaper" on the second display.
the only way i can slightly alleviate the problem is full screening a video within youtube but not within the OS it self... even then there is still black bars which is weird because when i use the TV as a extended monitor the wallpaper is using the whole display just full screen video has black bars.
I am unable to get 1920 x 1200 output display to my HDTV is this possible? is it my mini DP to hdmi adapter that is at fault?
thanks in advanced to whoever helps sorry about the long post my brain is scattered on the issue because my VGA connetion works fine i don't understand why HDMI + mini DP has worse resolution...

No, it doesn't list the resolution explicitly like that - the top few items in the list are "480i", "480p", "720p", "1080i" and "1080p", each with a small TV icon to the right. Non-television resolutions follow, and are listed with explicit pixel dimensions (and no TV icon), but the list stops at 1440x900, the native resolution of the MacBook's built-in display; it doesn't list resolutions higher than that.
Needless to say, I've tried every setting in the entire list, and they all suffer from the same problem of displaying shrunk down on the plasma TV with a margin around the desktop.
I wonder if the difference between your Display control panel and mine is that I'm running Snow Leopard? (Sorry - no screen grabs to show, I'm at work right now)

Multiple Screens with Full Screen App

Wondering if there is a way to change the behavior of the Full Screen App function in 10.7 - by default - with my 3 monitors attached - full screen effectly blanks two of the screens. Not quite as useful as it could be if for example I wanted to go full screen on my wing monitor with one app - while still working on other apps on the built-in or primary displays.

this is currently not possible. mutiple display support went out the window with Lion. please submit issue to
http://www.apple.com/feedback/macosx.html
the more of us do it, the more likely 10.7.1 will have a fix for this.
Shame on you Apple!

It's a Magic Mouse question. I have set this up in Preferences by ticking Swipe between pages with one finger and also Swipe between full-screen apps with two fingers, however when I try to do the latter, the 2 finger swipe will take me from the app that I am on to the dashboard only and not to my other open apps.
I also find that Smart zoom only works with some apps, for instance not with Word docs or email.
How can I correct this please?

Just figured out it also does not work with the Mail app.

I want to have my itunes visualizer on my TV which is connected via HDMI adapter, and still have access to full screen itunes and my desktop on the main display.
Any suggestions? App downloads that can do this? Please let me know.

You can't do it. This has been an issue since Lion.

Notification center interferes with full-screen apps (incl. games)

The new notification center interferes with games.
When you are making control movements on the screen, a little grey tab keeps appearing at the top middle of the screen.
Just from using it, it seems the notification center has a full-screen mode and a normal mode. For apps which are running in full-screen (includes games, but also built in apps such as YouTube and Photos when they are in full-screen mode), the gesture which normally brings down the full notification center just brings down a little gray tab at the top middle of the screen. You can then slide that tab down, if you really want the notification center.
But in games, the tab keeps appearing when you don't want it, and it has nothing to do with the gameplay. Even in Photos and YouTube, I would be quite happy if the tab did not appear at all in full-screen mode (a single click on these apps takes them out of full-screen mode, then you can drag down the notification center anyway).
It would be very appreciated if an iOS update could add a notification center Settings option to disable the notification center tab drag-down, in full-screen mode.
I can understand that Apple are very unlikely to add an option to disable all notifications in full-screen mode; fair enough. And if a new notification does appear during a full-screen app, then of course dragging that down should still bring in the full notification center. What I don't want is the little grey tab appearing - when I'm just operating with an app in full screen mode, and no new notifications have arrived.
Mike

I agree with both posts and have the exact same issues with iOs 5. I also feel that I've been juked by Apple into upgrading to iOs 5. I had absolutely no desire to slow down my games and add a feature that would interfere with said games, which is all I've gotten with the notification center. No disable option? Seriously, that is just one of the most absurd things I can imagine.
And I hate to burst Apple's bubble, but your CPUs and iOs do NOT multi-task unless it's the 4s (which has two cores). If you (Apple) have the notification center running in the background at the same time that I'm playing my game or typing, the iphone 4 and all versions before it are going to lag or skip while processing the notification center while it ignores the current thread (ie games, interface, etc)! This is the reason the old system was implemented the way it was. I know this for a fact (for example, any games would pause immediately when you recieved a text message, because the iphone is only capable of processing 1 thread).
Honestly, I think apple intentionally added this feature in this way to try to force users to migrate to the 4s because it's a dual core phone, and it won't experience as much lag when running two tasks.
Just add a disable option, some people NEED the performance we had in iOs 4!

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.

Why can't I launch another app using a URL scheme in a web clip set up through Configurator with the "full screen app" option selected?

My company uses web clips on iOS devices, set up through profiles on Configurator, for EVERYTHING. Most of these web clips have a transfer function on the site that allows the user to bring up other apps, like directions to a destination in Google Maps for instance (a URL scheme.) If the option for the web clip to appear as a "full screen app" is selected in Configurator (or iPhone Configuration Utility), this fuction does not work on devices that are running iOS 7. It is imparative to our company that the web clips be full page so there is no address bar, back button, etc. for the users to access. With this feature not working, I have 50+ iOS devices that are usless to us.
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 6 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> Full Screen Web Clip --> DOESN'T WORK
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.3 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> Configurator 1.4 --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip--> WORKS
iOS 7 Device --> iPhone Configuration Utility --> NOT Full Screen Web Clip --> WORKS
Somebody, please help!

Phil, I have been trying to figure out a solution to this problem since iOS 7 came out. In hindsight, I should have downloaded the beta versions of the iOS so I would have had even more time. I have talked with quite a few different developers and up until today it was a consensus that this was a "feature" of iOS in an attempt by Apple to diminish the use of webapps. Now most of these people wouldn't be considered apple apologists by any stretch, which could have contributed to their pessimism. That being said, today I finally received some news that could give us a glimmer of hope. I spent almost 2 hours on the phone today being sent "up the ladder" until I think I found the right person to help (I'm not complaining; I was surprised at how competent and helpful each person that I spoke with was, and I didn't have to explain the situation over and over again.) I think what took so long finding the right person to speak with was that this isn't an issue that any type of troubleshooting would fix. It's not an iPad, iPhone, or even an Apple Configurator issue; it's actually a bug in iOS 7. Anyways, the senior engineer that I spoke with reassured me, very adamantly, that this was not a feature of the new operating system and most definitely a bug. He said that they take webapps very seriously and are actually looking for ways to improve how webapps work on iOS devices and how they are used with Mobile Device Management software, like Configurator. I was a little concerned that he said this was the first he or anyone on his team has heard about this problem, but he did work extensively with me today and said that it looks to be a major issue, and something that he and his team are going to try to figure out as soon as possible. He said he would be calling me by Tuesday with information on how and when this will be fixed. Jon

Full screen app switch speed

It seems that after upgrading to Mountain Lion, when I use four fingers to switch between full screen apps, the speed became so much slower (or maybe with more precision?) and this really bugs me as I often switch back and forth a lot, and it also seems no one has brought this issue to Apple's attention yet. I believe there MUST be something that I can do to change this. Hopefully.

Thanks for the heads up. I would have never thought of Google Drive causing the issue.
I looked into the Google Drive issue and found a temporary fix that allows me to still use Google Drive on my desktop.
MrPiv, on a post from yesterday, concluded that if you disable the Show file sync status icons and right click menu it'll solve the problem and you can still keep Google Drive open.
I did so, and it worked beautifully. Thanks, actionmarker, for leading me to search issues with Google Drive, and MrPiv, for the fix via preference options.

System wide Keyboard shortcuts in Full Screen Apps

As a new ibook user I am trying to figure out how to make the best use of my system, and have run into a problem:
When running full screen applicationsn (like games), system wide keyboard shortcuts don't seem to behave as expected: they simply don't work. Specifically I cannot use the keyboard shortcuts for Expose or Desktop Manager when in any full screen application.
In fact, it doesn't even seem possible to leave a full screen application running and get back to my desktop. In windows I could alt-tab to another application and it would hide the full screen application minimized in the taskbar, but command-tab simply doesn't work in OSX when in a full screen app.
Is there any way to make all or particular system wide keyboard shortcuts work while running full screen applications? With the terminal or something? I'm just lost. Thanks for helping a mac newbie.
ibook G4 1.33 12" Mac OS X (10.4.3)

Thanks Tim, you're a genius. That gave me the clue.
The new user 'test' does not have the F5 behaviour problem.
Therefore I checked through my list of login items, and found that it was 'Contactizer Pro' that used F5 to add a Quick Task.
Changing that default stopped the problem.
(The reason this is an issue is that I have a new Kensington Wireless Presenter, and it appears that pushing the laser pointer button also sends an F5 keystroke (for some reason)- which would stop my Keynote presentation and open the 'Quick Task' window!)

Use 2 Full Screen Apps in Dual Monitors

I always work with two monitors. How I can use two full-screen apps at time (e.g. Xcode + iCal) ?

Here is a screen shot of my 3 monitor setup under Snow Leopard, and it is my understanding that Lion will make the two side monitors display a linen pattern.
The center monitor (iMac 27") is Aperture in full screen mode, the left one has Mail, the right Safari, both have Aperture HUDs.
I'm thinking that real linen would have been cheaper than faking it with two external monitors.

How do i reposition desktops and full screen apps in the top of mission control?

Full screen apps have there own space and so do desktops, how do i re-order them?

Hi Anthony, hi ya guys!
Actually you can do a bit of a trick to re-arrange a fullscreen apps but there is one thing which you should know - the first screen can't be a fullscreen app screen.
So, here is what you can do.
Example: you have 3 fullscreen apps running on your OS: Pages, iPhoto, Mail.
So you go to Mission Control and you see on the top the first screen which is an empty screen or a screen with any opened apps (not a fullscreen apps) and also you see your fullscreen apps in a row of 3 screens.
So talking about these 3 screens (windows). Your Pages screen is the first fullscreen app window, iPhoto is the 2nd and Mail is the 3rd but you want to make it the 1st. So to do this you need to go to your second window (iPhoto), and press twice the Mail icon in your dock (one click and then another click).
It will make your 3rd screen with Mail to take a place of 1st screen and iPhoto will be moved to the end.
It all should be done while you are in a MC.
Good luck!
