My mac is swiping full-screens automatically, how do I stop it?

My Mac started swiping itself back to the home page automatically, I have tried disabiling the swipe control and it continues. What do I do?

I have the same issue since this morning. You should check this topic to solve the problem https://discussions.apple.com/message/23672977#23672977

    I recently had some repairs done to my ATT U-verse connection, and now my Safari doesn't open in a full screen.  How do I reset that to open in full screen?

    Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
    If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

  • I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook.  I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen.  How do I do this?

    I just upgraded to lion on my intel macbook.  I would like to change my facetime alert to something different than a phone ring and, I would like to be able to have full screen.  How do I do this?

    Downgrade Lion to Snow Leopard
    1.  Boot from your Snow Leopard Installer Disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button.  When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Utilities menu.
    2. After DU loads select your hard drive (this is the entry with the mfgr.'s ID and size) from the left side list. Note the SMART status of the drive in DU's status area.  If it does not say "Verified" then the drive is failing or has failed and will need replacing.  SMART info will not be reported  on external drives. Otherwise, click on the Partition tab in the DU main window.
    3. Under the Volume Scheme heading set the number of partitions from the drop down menu to one. Set the format type to Mac OS Extended (Journaled.) Click on the Options button, set the partition scheme to GUID then click on the OK button. Click on the Partition button and wait until the process has completed.
    4. Quit DU and return to the installer. Install Snow Leopard.
    This will erase the whole drive so be sure to backup your files if you don't have a backup already. If you have performed a TM backup using Lion be aware that you cannot restore from that backup in Snow Leopard (see below.) I suggest you make a separate backup using Carbon Copy Cloner 3.4.1.
    If you have Snow Leopard Time Machine backups, do a full system restore per #14 in Time Machine - Frequently Asked Questions.  If you have subsequent backups from Lion, you can restore newer items selectively, via the "Star Wars" display, per #15 there, but be careful; some Snow Leopard apps may not work with the Lion files.

    Hi Paul ,
    It could be a compatibility issue as well as Acrobat 8 is an older version.
    Do you get any error message while registering for the product?
    Try repairing it and once and also check for updates as well.
    Is it happening with all the word files or any specific one'?

  • Everytime I click on the down arrow on the firefox button firefox fills my monitor screen. How do I stop this as it did not happen in the past

    Had to uninstall and reinstall firefox several times as something was trying to take it over. The only way I stopped it in the end was to go back to a restore point on my computer. Anyway, before I had this problem I had firefox leave a border down the right side of my screen. Now it is okay when I start firefox, border in place, but as soon as I click the down arrow on the firefox button for anything firefox covers the whole screen. How can I stop this?

    You can check for problems with the localstore.rdf file.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Corrupt_localstore.rdf
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Firefox for Mac: accidentally disabled full screen Flash video for Yahoo. How to reenable??

    I was looking at a video on screen.yahoo.com, and that annoying "Now entering full screen... allow/don't allow" (paraphrasing) dialog came up at the top. I must have inadvertently selected the option to disable, because now when I click the fullscreen icon at the lower right part of the video, nothing happens at all. No full screen, no annoying dialog. Nothing.
    As per other posts on this forum from people who have had this problem, I have tried the following:
    • Deleted ALL Flash Player settings in my Mac's System Preferences
    • Gone to about:permissions in Firefox and set Fullscreen to ALLOW for all Yahoo URLs
    • Deleted all COOKIES for domain yahoo.com
    I have also quit and rebooted Firefox after having done these things. Alas, I go back to the video on screen.yahoo.com, click the fullscreen icon in the video frame, and still get nothing.
    I'm stumped. This seems to be a heavy price to pay for accidentally clicking the wrong button one time. Sort of a Zero Tolerance Policy approach to video settings... Any other ideas about how I can restore this functionality??
    Thanks!
    DM

    You can hover the image.
    That should make a delete X appear.
    You can inspect and manage permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab via these steps:
    *Click the "[[Site Identity Button|Site Identity Button]]" (globe/padlock) on the location/address bar
    *Click "More Information" to open "Tools > Page Info" with the Security tab selected
    *Go to the Permissions tab (Tools > Page Info > Permissions) to check the permissions for the domain in the currently selected tab

  • How Can I set QT to open ALL files in Full Screen Automatically?

    Am I missing something obvious here, or is this a major option missing in preferences of QT? I know that you can set this option for EACH movie in the Presentation tab in the movie's Properties, but I have 1000's of clips on my computer. I just want EVERY movie to automatically open up in full screen mode. This seems like it should be an obvious universal option for QT rather than handled individually for each file (with the option to over ride it per file if you wish for some reason).
    Plus setting the option per file is not even practical, because in order to save that option in a file that is not .mov file QT wants to convert it to .mov and save copy of the file...

    I am still pretty sure, say 95%, (do not recall perfectly - to many things on my mind... hihi) that the settings in Quicktime in the Preferences DID work before.
    QT Player "Preference" settings only control how the content is displayed in the "Full Screen" mode -- not how it is activated. Pop-up options include:
    1) Half Size,
    2) Actual Size,
    3) Double Size,
    4) Fit to Screen,
    5) Fill Screen,
    6) Panoramic, or
    7) Current Size
    The options are available individually for "widescreen", "standard", or "other" aspect movie formats. The only other method of I can think of using the QT Player to automatically open in the the "Full Screen" presentation mode would be using a QTL file linked to your original source file but it setting the "Full Screen" option is "boring" for you, then creating QTL files would be even more so.

  • How should I swipe in iPhoto, when two fingers swipe is for swiping full screen apps? thanks

    I dont know how to swipe phoots in iPhoto using Lion, two fingers swipe swipes full screen apps,,,thanks

    Did you mean three fingers? (the default in Lion).
    Have you tried changing Lion to use a four fingered swipe for spaces (System Preferences > Trackpad > Guestures)? If you do that, maybe iPhoto will be able to use the three fingered gesture (although I only have an old version of iPhoto and it doesn't work in that).
    Sorry if that doesn't help. How about the cursor keys?

  • Please Help, Mac OS X Lion 10.7.3, Top tool bar disappears-File, Edit, View, ETC missing at full screen. How do I get it back?

    When i have the window at full screen, my top portion of the tool bar dissapears. I have checked all settings but unable to get it back. What do I do? Thanks 

    The menu bar is hidden in fullscreen mode, as is the Dock (I assume that's what you mean by "the bottom toolbar").  That is normal, and that is how it has always worked for as long as fullscreen mode has existed (which isn't very long yet).  If you want those things to remain visible, you have to exit fullscreen mode.  Put your mouse at the top of the screen, so the menu bar appears, and then click the blue rectangle with arrows at the far right side of the menu bar.

  • I pressed something, and it made the browser go into a "full screen" mode, how do I change it back? And also, something happened and made my FireFox text on all internet pages smaller, is there any way I could change this setting?

    I had pressed a button on my keyboard which made my text and pictures and the whole page smaller in size, can I change that? And how could I change my browser out of "Full Screen" mode?

    You can press F10 to toggle (View) Full Screen mode.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems: <b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl+0 (zero); Cmd+0 on Mac)

  • Full Screen Mode, How?

    How do I force InDesign into full screen work mode where I don't see this "window" of the document with Window control buttons?
    I want the maximum work space. 
    And does Indesign CC have a Mac style full screen mode?

    Someone is out now, trying to find a more obscure way to name "full window, but not full window" functionality.
    You asked for a way to go into "full screen mode" and "full screen work mode." You never actually said "full window".
    Please go to Acrobat, Photoshop, Quick Time Player, Skype, YouTube, Netflix, and Adobe Bridge and look what "Full Screen" means in any of those programs.
    You ask for something, but use an incorrect term. Then, when we work hard to discern what it is you want, you get angry that the term you used was wrong.
    Please, sir, think about your attitude. You insult Adobe and the people here who are trying to help. And the people here do so without renumeration.
