Mail screen fills the whole window

Great granddaughter is visiting and stole my mouse for a few minutes and suddenly a LOT went wonky for a few seconds. But mostly my Mail screen is in full window covering the entire screen. There is a small tab down at the left bottom of my screen and if I click that it brings it up, but, again, in full screen mode. Since I've never had this happen before and can't figure it out, I need HELP!!!! in getting my Mac Mail back to normal size. The little 3 1/2 year old's future depends on it, I'm tellin' ya!!! HOW?????
TIA,
Connie

If the top right hand corner of your Mail window looks like this:
...slide your cursor all the way to the top of the right hand corner, and click on the blue button with the inward facing arrows...
If the upper left hand corner of your Mail window looks like this...
...then click on the right-most of the three buttons under the Apple icon (yours may be green in color and show a + sign when you hover over it).

Why doesn't my shutdown screen fill the whole monitor

HEEEEEEEELLLPPPPPP!

That IS the question... (the title). Should I have repeatef it? I'm new at this and honestly a bit lost. The shutdown screen (galaxy behind the suspend, restart stop window) doesn't fill my 17 inch monitor as if it was a 15 inch sreen displayed on a 17 inch one...

Making windows smaller after making it fill the whole screen

I have made an application fill the whole screen by clicking on the green button. Now how do I make it it smaller again? It's jus SOOO big on the screen I want a smaller window again.

Hi slowflyn,
You can return to normal view by moving your cursor to the top left corner of the screen and clicking the green button once more when it drops from the top of the screen.

Perhaps Safari isn't quite what you require, too much work involved all the time making it easier to see
Take a look at my customized Firefox:
it always opens to the same size window (or full screen if you like)
it always zooms all web pages 160% (or whateve you like)
it always has large type on the menu bar area. (to whatever you like)
it's very highly customizable, (or use the plain default settings)
has more add-ons than anyone (a real plus when you need it)
has more themes and personas than anyone (make it YOUR browser)
Easier surfing option for hard of seeing users
Safari is about the absolute worst browser since Internet Explorer, it's because Apple has already got your money so there isn't any incentive for them to make a better browser.

Web form doesn't fill the whole screen

I have forms (version 6i) running on the intranet. When I run these as client/server the forms fill the whole of the physical screen; but when in the brower, the forms leave a 2 inch border on the right hand side. I want the forms to occupy the whole of the browser window, but cannot seem to be able to do this. I've tried maximizing the MDI and the form windows etc etc, but still no luck. Anyone have any advice?
Many thanks in advance.

Hi,
When displaying forms in web,
the size of the form that is shown in browser is based on the height and width that you specified in you html file.
The html file in this case means the one that holds your forms java applets.
eg. width=800 height=600
View source the html file when you run the forms in web.(right click to view source from the 2 inches area) and check what's your height and width.
Hope this helps.

Bookmarks opens in a window 2/3's the size of my screen since the latest update. Now the first bookmark I scroll over covers the whole window instead of too the side and I can't close it without closing the bookmarks window

I kept getting a reminder I had a Firefox update I needed to install. I did last night but never opened Firefox again till this morning. Now when I click on bookmarks for the drop down it opens a window almost 2/3's the size of my screen instead of the narrow window it has in the past. Now as soon as I move my mouse over or close to any bookmark it opens up that bookmark in the window and I can't access the bookmark I want. I have to close the whole window and then be very careful as I move my mouse to the correct bookmark. In the past with the narrow window it opened the bookmarks to the side and only after you clicked on them. I have tried to resize the window but can't find any option to do so. Also couldn't find an option that would let me change it so a bookmark had to be clicked on. If this can't be changed I will be removing Firefox. This is too inconvenient for me.

Take it to your local Apple Store or AASP, it's covered by a 1 year hardware warranty. If you have AppleCare then give them a call but I'm pretty sure they will advise the same. If you have not purchased AppleCare yet please do, this will extend the warranty to 3 years however it MUST be purchased within the first year of ownership. Let it go 366 days and you are out of luck. AppleCare will also include telephone support too.
Good luck.

On the new ipod touch, is there a way to enlarge album art to fill the whole screen?

Hi there,
For Christmas I was given a new ipod touch (long story short my old one I put through the wash by mistake ) and this new one is great but when I listen to a song on the new itouch the album art does not fill the whole screen like my old itouch, this is a small detail I know but I loved that feature so much and I was hoping there was a setting I could activate/change which allows this on the new itouch.
At the moment on the new itouch the album art is small and centered towards the top of the screen while the function icons are below the image while on the last one the album art filled the whole screen and the function icons where over the picture at the bottom and didn't stand out as much as it does now.
I have drawn a very rough MSpaint diagram explaining what I mean lol.....

How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2)

How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos I included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2). I mean, during playing the burned dvd.
When I do "Enter Full Screen", the slide show fills the screen but the photo itself remains in the middle with a wide black border filling the rest.
Any cure for this ?

Hi
In iDVD Preferences - Turn off - TV-Safe area - and the Photos will fill the full area with just letterboxing or pillars as max.
Then "Save as a DiskImage" and test this and see if this plays better - before burning DVDs that's not as You want them.

Is there a way to let the movies fill the whole screen?

Hi guys,
I started to watch movies by renting or buying from itunes and I realized that some movies don't fill the whole screen. I wanted to know if there is a solution.

Ok. Thank you Roger. Actually that's not a big problem but I'm giving my money to movies instead of watching them free(In my country) on the internet. I just wanted to know if there's a solution. Unfortunately there isn't as you said. But some of the movies don't fill the whole screen.
Thank You

Most pages are defined to be a certain size, regardless of how large or small your monitor is. You can use Firefox's zoom feature (View menu) to enlarge the text and images (or just the text, if you prefer) on a page.
In addition to making individual site adjustments, there are some add-ons that will default every site to a higher zoom level. For example, check out:

A flash file is proportional, and a web browser viewport
isn't necessarily
proportional.
So, unless you are forcing a persons web browser to a set
size (and I'd
STRONGLY not recommend doing that...ESPECIALLY at the size
you want) then
you'll need to confine your actual SWF file to a specific
size on the page
itself.
> A used the properties settings in flash and sett my both

The stage in Flash is not what tells the web browser what
size to set the
SWF on the HTML page itself. That's done in the HTML when you
'publish/export' your SWF file from flash using the HTML tab.

Well, you set the width and height to 100%, but that will
distort your SWF
file if people change the aspect ration of their browser from
that of the
SWF file.

How to I make the apple tv fill the whole tv screen on a samsung

How do I make the Apple TV fill the whole tv screen on a Samsung. I changed the aspect ratio to 16:9 and that didn't work.

Thanks. I know, I've been playing with the TV aspect for quite awhile. Sometimes it actually fills the screen by "accident"; but when it "reverts", I don't know how to make it fill the screen. I'll keep playing with the tv functions. thanks

Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing. The whole window just turns grey.

Can anybody help? My Safari browser keeps crashing on iMac 10.7.5. The whole window just turns grey. It started happening around the time of the new bookmarks menu upgrade recently which changed the bookmarks to be only on the side and makes it so you can see all your bookmarks while browsing. I know I have a lot of bookmarks, so I tried hiding them, but it still happens. I ALREADY TRIED CLEARING MY HISTORY, AND THAT DID NOT HELP, AND I HAVE NO EXTENSIONS FOR THIS BROWSER.
Does the fact that I am in Brasil have anything to do with it?
Thank you to anyone who can help. In case no one can come up with an answer, is there an easy way to transfer my bookmarks from safari to either firefox or chrome?
Much appreciated.

1. This is a comment on what you should and should not do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet. It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the victim's computer. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. If you have reason to suspect that you're the target of such an attack, you need expert help.
If you find this comment too long or too technical, read only sections 5, 6, and 10.
OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user, but internally Apple calls it "XProtect." The malware recognition database is automatically checked for updates once a day; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
The following caveats apply to XProtect:
It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't necessarily been tested by Apple, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
For the reasons given above, App Store products, and other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. OS X security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they're not absolute protection. The first and best line of defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and the malware attacker. If you're smarter than he thinks you are, you'll win.
That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know what is safe?
Any website that prompts you to install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one, is unsafe.
A web operator who tells you that you have a “virus,” or that anything else is wrong with your computer, or that you have won a prize in a contest you never entered, is trying to commit a crime with you as the victim. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
Pirated copies or "cracks" of commercial software, no matter where they come from, are unsafe.
Software of any kind downloaded from a BitTorrent or from a Usenet binary newsgroup is unsafe.
Software that purports to help you do something that's illegal or that infringes copyright, such as saving streamed audio or video for reuse without permission, is unsafe. All YouTube "downloaders" are outside the safe harbor, though not all are necessarily harmful.
Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, must be downloaded directly from the developer’s website. If it comes from any other source, it's unsafe. For instance, if a web page warns you that Flash is out of date, do not follow an offered link to an update. Go to the Adobe website to download it, if you need it at all.
Even signed applications, no matter what the source, should not be trusted if they do something unexpected, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
"FREE WI-FI !!!" networks in public places are unsafe unless you can verify that the network is not a trap (which you probably can't.) Even then, do not download any software or transmit any private information while connected to such a network, regardless of where it seems to come from or go to.
6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it — not JavaScript — in your browsers.
Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a lock icon in the address bar with the abbreviation "https" when visiting a secure site.
Follow the above guidelines, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself from malware.
7. Never install any commercial "anti-virus" or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they all do more harm than good, if they do any good at all. Any database of known threats is always going to be out of date. Most of the danger is from unknown threats. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free anti-virus products in the Mac App Store — nothing else.
Why shouldn't you use commercial "anti-virus" products?
Their design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere.
In order to meet that nonexistent threat, the software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. Most of the real-world danger of malware attack comes from highly targeted "zero-day" exploits that are not yet recognized.
By modifying the operating system, the software itself may create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
8. An anti-malware product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," doesn't have these drawbacks. That doesn't mean it's entirely safe. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
An anti-virus app is not needed, and should not be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful only for detecting Windows malware. Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else.
A Windows malware attachment in email is usually easy to recognize. The file name will often be targeted at people who aren't very bright; for example:
♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥!!!!!!!H0TBABEZ4U!!!!!!!.AVI♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.exe
Anti-virus software may be able to tell you which particular virus or trojan it is, but do you care? In practice, there's seldom a reason to use the software unless a network administrator requires you to do it.
The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
10. As a Mac user you don't have to live in fear that your computer is going to be infected every time you install an application, read email, or visit a web page. But neither should you have the false idea that you will always be safe, no matter what you do. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

Stretch the Stage to Fill the Browser Window??

Could someone let me know how this is done.....

How do you make the stage fill the entire window and scale?
Also, How do you position the objects in on the sides, such as the
menu bar which rolls in and out of the side of the screen. It seems
like there are MOST of the top designers are doing this now.
I would appreciate your help.

http://www.corduroyblues.com
Aha. Okay, for something like that -- and there are usually
half a
dozen ways to do things -- I would probably use keyframe
scripts, along with
a variable, in the movie clips that animate in and out.
I don't know how you coded up or arranged that site, of
course, but my
guess is that your nav buttons each tell a particular movie
clip to load and
start playing. That's why these clips suddenly disappear:
because you're
simply loading them into the same container, and as soon as
the new one
comes in, the other vanishes. Makes sense. So you may want to
shift part
of the responsbility of this loading onto the movie clips
themselves. I'll
try to explain this in a way that makes sense.
Rather than having your button simply load a movie clip,
have it set a
variable instead. Maybe your variable is called clipToLoad.
It could be a
variable that sits in the main timeline and starts out empty.
var clipToLoad:MovieClip;
It's eventually going to refer to a movie clip, but it
doesn't yet.
Now your buttons need to do a couple things: a) check if
clipToLoad has
a value yet and b) set a value, then maybe load a movie clip.
The first
time around, your variable will be undefined. That makes
sense, because it
hasn't been given a value yet; it's only been declared. So if
it doesn't
have a value, load a clip:
someButton.onRelease = function():Void {
if (clipToLoad == undefined) {
// clip loading code here
With me so far? Outside of the if() statement, you may very
well be
doing something along these lines. From this point forward,
you don't want
buttons to load movie clips on their own, you only want them
to let Flash
know which movie clip to load *next*. The trigger to make
this decision is
that if() statement, and the if() statement looks to the
value of
clipToLoad, so ... to make sure the button knows better next
time, give
clipToLoad a value. Watch how the event handler updates:
someButton.onRelease = function():Void {
if (clipToLoad == undefined) {
// clip loading code here
clipToLoad = movieClipA;
movieClipA is just a hypothetical instance name for the
movie clip
associated with this button. You want that new part outside
of the if()
statement, so that it happens every time. So, again ... the
first time this
button is clicked, it loads the associated movie clip
(movieClipA) and sets
the value of clipToLoad so that it *won't* load the movie
clip next time.
So now we need an else.
someButton.onRelease = function():Void {
if (clipToLoad == undefined) {
// clip loading code here
} else {
clipToLoad.play();
clipToLoad = movieClipA;
So what's the play() about? At this point, we're on the
second click.
This button -- or one the others in this nav (which have all
been coded
similarly) -- will check clipToLoad and see that it's no
longer undefined,
so it'll tell the relevant clip to play. How does it know
which clip to
play? Well, the value of clipToLoad tells it so. (This
variable, after
all, is a reference to one of the movie clips.)
Every one of these clips will have an animate-out sequence
that ends in
a keyframe script. The keyframe script will contain whatever
ActionScript
you're using to load these clips. There, again, it'll know
which clip to
load because it will check the value of clipToLoad to find
out. Perhaps
something like ...
this._parent.loadMovie(clipToLoad);
... or whatever ActionScript you're using to load these movie
clips.
Here's the sequence. First time around, the user clicks the
button for
movieClipA. The if() statement checks clipToLoad, finds that
it's
undefined, and loads movieClipA on its own, then sets the
value of
clipToLoad to movieClipA. At this point, movieClipA loads and
animates in.
movieClipA has a stop() action in the keyframe immediately
after its
animate-in sequence ends. The second time around, the user
clicks the
button for movieClipB. movieClipB's button checks the value
of clipToLoad
and finds that it is *not* undefined: it has a value. Okay,
so it goes to
its else clause and executes the expression
clipToLoad.play(). Since the
value of clipToLoad is currently movieClipA, that's the clip
that starts
playing. Then the button changes the value of clipToLoad to
movieClipB.
someButtonA.onRelease = function():Void {
if (clipToLoad == undefined) {
// clip loading code here
} else {
clipToLoad.play();
clipToLoad = movieClipA;
someButtonB.onRelease = function():Void {
if (clipToLoad == undefined) {
// clip loading code here
} else {
clipToLoad.play();
clipToLoad = movieClipB;
After movieClipA animates out, it hits the last frame in its
timeline.
That frame ias a script that references clipToLoad (which is
now movieClipB)
and tells that movie clip to load.
Don't know if I made that clear as mud. Hope that made
enough sense
that you can start experimenting with it. :)
