Mountain Lion - missing menu bar when in full screen mode

Hi,
just installed ML on my late 2008 MacBookPro 15´. Everything works ok except the fact that I lose my menu bar when I switch a screen in full screen mode. Bringing my mouse pointer to the top of the screen usually dropped down the menu bar. Not so anymore with ML.
Does anyone experienced the same issue? Is this a setting preference?
Thanks!

I just got QT Pro 7.1.3, but I just can't seem to get rid of that annoying menu bar. Even the older 6.5.1 didn't show the menu bar when in Presentation mode.
Can't really help you. Seems to work properly in OS 10.4.8 for me. May be a bug that only shows up when QT v7.1.3 is used with OS 10.3.9 which needs to be reported.

How can I configure my Macbook Air to always show the menu bar when in full-screen? I hate, hate, hate it popping up and then going away all the time.

I cannot find a way to change this in System Preferences. When I have applications open full screen, my menu bar disappears. Then when I try to move between tabs, I find it is always popping up & then disappearing. I really just want to set up my computer so that the menu bar always displays in the foreground. I find this popping up & disappearing intrusive and annoying. How can I fix this? I hate, hate, hate this about my MAC...
I have searched the full User Guide, Quick Start Guide, etc. and cannot find a way to fix this.

Don't use the full screen arrow in the top right corner of the window. Instead, use the green + in the top left corner. That takes the window full screen just below the menu bar.

Safari 5.0.2 doesn't hide menu bar with flash full screen mode

I have scoured these forums and others for an answer. I have deleted every little bit of Safari and Adobe/Macromedia/Flash preference file. I even tried using an older backup, which worked until I updated Safari on it.
The menu bar won't go away!
Is this a well known problem, or am I an unlucky slob?

Unlucky so far, I'd say.
So, picking something in particular so we're on the same page... does this refuse to hide the bar too?
Is a New User Account the same ?

When in full screen mode can I zoom in with iPhoto '11?

Just upgraded from '09 and one thing I miss is being able to zoom when in full screen mode looking at one image. Am I missing something? I think that would be there.
Also scrolling through my photos is much slower, is this common?

In earlier versions when you went to Full Screen you automatically went into edit mode. This version you don't. Zoom is available is Edit mode, in Full Screen or Windowed Mode.

Thunderbolt display changes colour temperature when in full screen mode

27" Thunderbolt Display connected to MacBook Air (2011) changes colour temperature when in full screen mode. Switching any setting in System Preferences/Displays changes it back to the correct colour. I have also seen this on a 24" LED Display (Display Port) connected to a Mac Book Pro (2011).

I describe my problem here. I think it's similar, can you see if the console gives you the same error?

Try using another connection such as VGA or DVI to see if the problem repeats itself.

How to remove status bar at bottom of browser when in full screen mode

We have an application that runs in full screen mode for public display, so having the status bar pop-up at the bottom of the screen is distracting when it moves between pages is distracting and detracts from the user experience.
How do I disable the status bar so that it no longer pops up when the browser is in full screen mode?

Or do you mean the floating message that describes the current activity of the browser (for example, Waiting...) or shows the URL of the currently hovered link?
That can be suppressed using custom style rules. Here is an example of a past thread on how you might do that:
[https://support.mozilla.org/questions/976248 How do I disable the link address popup at bottom of the page?]
That was as of Firefox 25. Does it still work in Firefox 30?

(Chrome Like) Auto-Hide Tab bar in Safari Full Screen mode

Is there a plugin or some other way to auto hide the tab bar in Safari fullscreen mode like the way Chrome does?
This is the only thing stopping me from using Safari, it's way smoother than Chrome and feels much more native to Lion, but the fact the tab bar just keeps hanging there is annoying.
I tried the Cmd+I method mentioned in the community, but it only works when you're only opening one tab, if you open several tabs, the tab bar will show up again. It also comes back up once you exit Full Screen mode.
Thanks for your help !

Hello myzzzl, this is normal behavior in full screen mode, you can set the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Browser.fullscreen.autohide browser.fullscreen.autohide] in about:config to False, to change that, but if you do that tabs and location bar is enabled in full screen mode.
wait if another contributor/helper give you a code which I don't know.
thank you

Large gray 'band' along bottom of monitor when in full screen mode

No doubt this is something that's very simple to resolve but...
For some reason I'm having a large gray empty 'band' (i.e. rectangular strip) appear along the bottom of my monitor's window in "Full Screen Mode With Menu Bar."
This has only started happening in the last couple of days and I don't recall it ever happening before (no matter what screen mode I've been in).
The only way I've been able to temporarily eliminate this is to replace my Photoshop preference files from a backup.
Again... probably some very simple setting... but even then... I don't see what I've been doing recently that I haven't done thousands of times before that would cause this.
The last time it occurred I had simply dragged a layer from one file to another file and BAM... the gray strip appeared again when I went to full screen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Ron

Boilerplate-text:
Are Photoshop and OS fully updated?
As with all unexplainable Photoshop-problems you might try trashing the prefs (after making sure all customized presets like Actions, Patterns, Brushes etc. have been saved and making a note of the Preferences you’ve changed) by pressing command-alt-shift on starting the program or starting from a new user-account.
System Maintenance (repairing permissions, purging PRAM, running cron-scripts, cleaning caches, etc.) might also be beneficial, Onyx has been recommended for such tasks.
http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/system_disk_utilities/onyx.html
Weeding out bad fonts never seems to be a bad idea, either. (Validate your fonts in Font Book and remove the bad ones.)
If 3rd party plug-ins are installed try disabling them to verify if one of those may be responsible for the problem.
Does turning off OpenGL in the Performance Preferences and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?

Getting IM notifications when in full screen mode

I like to know if anyone has solved this problem in LION. I have 3 full screen apps running and I get IM messages from iChat or Adium. I like to get notification about these IMs even when I am not on the main screen (for example I am in Safari (full screen mode).
Has anyone solved this? If your answer is Growl, have you tested it and it works?
Seems like a very obvious need for all of us who use full screen apps and use IM so I hope to find a solution here.
Thanks

In earlier versions when you went to Full Screen you automatically went into edit mode. This version you don't. Zoom is available is Edit mode, in Full Screen or Windowed Mode.

ScreenSaver coming on when in Full Screen Mode

Hi Guys,
My father-in-Law got the Quicktime pro 7 for windows, I still haven't been able to get him to buy a mac... but that's another story. When we installed the software on his laptop, everything works fine, but when watching an .mp4 file, we noticed that along the way every 15 mins the screensaver would take over the screen, we where watching in full screen mode, this of course it not right cause in my Mac, no screensaver takes control away from quicktime in full screen mode. We had to reset the screensaver to never for us to watch the .mp4 file.... please fix this in the next windows update. Or let's us know what settings to use for this not to happen. Thanks

Most screen savers allow the user to set the "time" when they start.
Set the delay longer than the QuickTime file.
Send to "Feedback" to request changes in the software. This one bugs me at times, too.
