My safari window is disappearing in non full screen mode OSX Lion

Hi Guys,
I seem to have the following problem. not sure exactly how it started as my wife was using the mac at the time (she says she just dragged the safari to different desktop via mission control) but now the situation is as follows:
When I hit safari icon it switches on (I can see the little light dot underneath the icon and after right click I can see names of windows that are opened) however I can only see the Safari menu at the top but no window. If I scroll to the right or left to different desktops it's not there, the same goes if I double tap to see the Mission Control mode it's not there...
I so far figured out that once the Safari menu is visible on top of the screen I can go to View>Enter Full Screen and then Safari will come back into the full screen mode but once I unclick the full screen button in right top corner the whole window just swoops into the right top corner and it's nowhere to be found again.
I have rebooted and it's still the same - I can only get the full screen mode or none. it's very weird. Anyone's got any suggestions?

Thank you,
That's not it - Hot corners are not active, it's more like when you normally click the full screen on/off button (the two arrows facing each other) the transition happens with gray apple background and it moves either to or from full screen but here the background comes on and the window just goes into the corner and it's gone. Then when in Safari menu I go View>Enter Full Screen the window comes back exactly the same way: from top right corner into the whole screen.
Like I can only use Safai in Full Screen mode..

Safari 6.0.1 Truncates URLs in Non Full Screen Mode

I just applied the Java removal patch that Apple released and I noticed that all URLs now get truncated to subdomain.domain.extension. For example, if I go to store.apple.com/us my URL bar only shows store.apple.com. If I go to full screen mode it shows store.apple.com/us. The trailing "/us" is gray, not black, but it shows. This is occurring with all of the sites I visit.
I created a new user and logged on with the newly created user's profile and attempted the same test. The results were exactly the same.
What can I do to see the entire URL in window mode?
Windowed mode:
Full screen mode:

I have had the new Safari for less than 1/2 hour and I'm already switching to Google Chrome. The new Safari not only grays out URLs inexplicably, but also, and this is SUPER annoying, when I click on a link on Facebook, it takes me out of FB to the link, but grays out the "back" arrow so I can't even return to where I was on FB. ***?

How to get Safari to save my cropping in full screen mode?

Hello,
In Lion, you can put Safari in Full Screen mode and crop the edges. You can set differents crops for different tabs within Safari, but when you restart safari the crops are reset. How can you save the crops for the tabs?
Thanks

Works fine for me.
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.

ITunes: how to get out of "full screen" mode in Lion?

running Lion for the first time - I hit some kind of a a wrong button on iTunes, and it went into some kind of goofy full screen mode. How do I get it back to the original mode?

You must have tripped over the double-headed arrow symbol at the right end of the menu bar. To get back, slide your cursor to the top of the screen to display the menu bar and slide right to the double-headed arrow (now enclosed in blue) at the right end of the menu bar.

Escape button doesn't work in iTunes, iWork, Preview switching back to non-full screen mode

Though it does in Safari, iPhoto. Is it possible somehow by means of AppleScript, Terminal (or smth else) to enable esc button to switch between full and non-full mode assigning it to all of my apps or is it a bug?
ILYA

But I want use just one button instead of combination of them. Isn't it possible to make esc button the general screen mode switching tool?

My firefox browser window will not stay in full screen mode, it keeps reducing itself so I can't use the scroll down button on the side, so I have to constantly minimize and maximize to get to the scroll bar, How can I stop this?

Like I said it happens every few minutes... It is annoying when you are on the internet for more than a few minutes because you constantly have to either minimize it or reduce the screen manually by hitting the button and then maximize it again to get the scroll bar to be in view to use it.

Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

Safari Full Screen Mode not full screen

In full screen mode in Safari 7 I cannot hide the tool bar. Hide toolbar is greyed out. This used to be possible in the previous version of Safari. Is there a way round this?
Curiously most of the toolbar can disappear in non full screen mode.
David

Hmm, i think i phrased original question badly, i am looking for auto-hide to be featured in normal window mode as well as fullscreen, and whatever else designers and programmers can dream up and not execute poorly.
I have now disabled all EXTENSIONS and removed all 3rd party bars (google, sharethis, never used nayway;) and as my suspicions confirmed Safari is running much better. I was very suspicious of this when it was added as it seemed like trying to match Firefox, which I also gave up some time ago in place of Chrome as my second browser, although I use Safari for 90%. The extensions i think causes freezing when i had Parallels running a Windows VM at the same time and also other times when not.
The extensions is a bit stupid in my opinion as any niggling, minor feature of a website should be addresses to the website rather than the browser. Where adverts are concerned, well, just use the web less or more specifically!
I think I'm fine with Toolbar/URL-search and bookmark bar, its great - simple and not intrusive. I believe EXTENSIONS introduction gave me some sort of weird mental outlook and would urge Apple to be more careful in bringing in different types of features unnecessarily.

Full screen mode bug in Safari?

In Safari, running in full screen mode, if a link opens a file (eg an Excel workbook), sometimes the Excel (non full screen) window will open over the top of the Safari full screen window. When that happens it's impossible to get access to the Excel window, as clicking on it will jump to the desktop "space" (where the window should have opened?). The only way out of the problem is to move to the Safari full screen "space" and take Safari out of full screen mode using the button in the top right corner (Esc doesn't work in this case). After that I can access both Safari and the Excel window no problem.
This doesn't always happen, but it has happened enough times to be annoying, and also happens with other apps (eg Preview), not just Excel.
Anyone else had the same problem?

It is a bug. If you start to search for something with the Safari not in full screen mode the history and predictive search functionality is there. If you then expand the application window to full screen it the search field will continue to work as expected. However, if you open the application and first expand it to full screen view before using the search field it will not work properly; the history will be inaccessable and the predictive search will fail. In order to restore functionality, hit 'control+command+F' to return to non-full-screen mode, type something in the search field or access your search history via the hour glass and then return to full screnn mode. The search field will now function normally again. This is definitely a bug and this behavior explains why the search seems to be fixed at times, and broken at others.

Full Screen Mode with Window Tabs? (Mac)

I have never been able to use Full Screen Mode / Full Screen Mode with Menu Bar because my Window Tabs disappear.
Until now I have ignored this but I really want to start making the most of my screen space. I don't understand how people can go into full screen mode without tabs of their open documents. It makes the experience completely useless to me and I can't believe I can't find any solutions online. I feel like I am overlooking a simple button somewhere on the screen thinking "surely Adobe would include this!?"
Please help.
I am currently on 13 inch MacBook Pro using CS6 beta.

Thanks for the reply, but I already know of this 'workaround', and it isn't a solution for me. There is no functionality in cycling through windows with no idea when you will arrive at the correct PSD. I usually have quite a few open at the same time and I am constantly skipping between them nice and simply with the tabs...Please Adobe just add an option for tabs, all the other components of the layout are optional in full screen, why not tabs?
Putting in a feature request for tabs in full screen mode is a good idea. One thing Photoshop could do in full screen mode is reveal the menu bar and tabs when the mouse is near the top of the screen. This is sort of an ad-hoc standard in tabbed apps like Chrome and Firefox. Even Adobe Photoshop Lightroom reveals the menu bar in this way, but Photoshop continues to use the same full screen behavior that it had back in the 1990s, when it was one of the few full-screen apps available.
One workaround is to turn off Window > Application Frame, and when you're in full screen mode use Lion's Mission Control to pick a specific window. This works even better if you use or assign a shortcut to view the windows of a single application.
c.pfaffenbichler wrote:
how does everyone else cope?
As a career-long Mac-user I am not accustomed to tabs and therefore don’t need or use them.
Tabs have been in Mac apps, such as Apple Safari and Final Cut Pro, for many years.

Full screen mode: How to switch between open windows?

Hi There,
Is there way to get CMD + ` working in full screen mode?
Other shortcuts like CMD + OPT [ ] to switch between open tabs and CMD + TAB to switch apps seem to work - but without the ability to switch between open windows within the same app, full screen mode is kind of useless.
Any pointers in the right direction would be much appreciated.
BTW I'm using Yosemite but the forums won't find a Yosemite community (not sure the community search is working properly)
Cheers

Screen sharing in full screen mode

Hi,
I didn't find a way to scroll a screen from a remote computer that has an applcaction open in full screen mode.
This is the issue :
The remote computer has an open application open in full screen mode (ie Safari)
My computer is also in full screen mode, so the application "Screen sharing" is open in fill screen mode.
So when in move the tree fingers on the trackpadd this is moving my windows (on the local computer) not on the remote computer...
Does some one can help me on this ?
Many thanks

If you ever find out how, please post the solution here.

I open Preview in full screen mode and open two files.

How do I switch between the files? In non full-screen mode I can press cmd +` but this does not work in full-screen. I can go to Windows and choose the one I want but that is inconvenient. I tried this in Mail and Windows does not work.

Hi there
The only way to display things in that manner from inside the browser is to use JavaScript to open the window. When you open the window using JavaScript, you have the ability to define many of the window characteristics, such as toolbars and all that.
Likely this will require engaging in a conversation with the support area of whomever supports the LMS you are using in order to figure out what you need to change to make this happen when the LMS serves the Captivate content.
Cheers... Rick

Cover Flow does not update in full-screen mode

Following an upgrade to iTunes 10.5 (141) and Lion (10.7.2) - I've noticed that Cover Flow no longer updates to the current song in full-screen mode. It will return to, and remain frozen at the first song of the playlist until manually updated or I revert to non-full-screen mode.

I assume you are using a desktop shortcut to start Lightroom. Look at the properties for that shortcut. There should be an option to set it to "maximize".

IPhoto 11: How to view "all photos" while in full screen mode

In iPhoto, when it's not in full screen mode, if you click photos in the sidebar (under Library), you get a nice view of ALL your photos, and you have the option to sort them by event. When you go from this view straight to full screen mode, it stays this way, which in my case is particularly useful since I like to move photos around from event to event. However, staying in full screen mode, as soon as I click an any other of the menus at the bottom (events, faces, places, albums, projects), I cannot find anyway to get back to the "all photos" view, other than to take it OUT of full screen mode, click on "Photos" in the side bar, and then go back to full screen mode. Either I am missing something that is glaringly obvious, or this is a rather annoying oversight by Apple. It seems like it would be natural to have "Photos" be one of the options along with Events, Faces, Places, Albums and Projects in full screen mode. Right now the only work around I've been able to come up with (aside from going back and forth with fullscreen mode), and to hit "command F" while in full screen mode, and then type "i", which will give me what I am want only because all my photos start with "i". Not a very elegant work around, I know, but perhaps I am missing something very obvious.
Thanks for any advice!
James

In case my description isn't clear, here is a screenshot of exactly the view in full screen mode I am talking about that I can't seem to return to once I leave it, other than to go back to non full screen mode or use the search trick.

Remove "Open in Full Screen mode" from multiple files

Hi there,
I just discovered today that I could use Javascript with Acrobat.
I download a lot of ebooks from a certain website that has them all set to open in Full Screen mode. (Properties > Initial View > Windows Options > [x] Open in Full Screen mode)
I could fix a lot of stuff that was annoying me with ebooks from this site, but I can't seem to find anything to disable the full screen thingie...
I tried these commands that I found, but they didn't do the job :
app.fs.isFullScreen = false;app.fullscreen = false;this.fs.isFullScreen = falsev;this.fullscreen = false;
Thanks,
Simo
PS : Using Actobat X

Thank you both for your replies.
With Acrobat Pro you can set the Initial View through the batch process.
Would you mind explaining how to do this for a noob like me?
Thanks,
Simo
