No full screen view after installing Yosemite

Another Yosemite issue - I'm running iPhoto 9.6 on recently downloaded Yosemite. Now I can't view a picture on full screen. The iPhoto help refers to a full screen button in top right hand corner although i have no such view and have to use main toolbar. All I see is a black background and the thumbnails below. I can even see the info and edit options but no picture. When i use the zoom option in bottom left of screen i see the navigation panel and a thumbprint of the picture i want to view.
Does anyone share my experience?
David

because if you go to Help and the view and organise section and select the 'see photos in full screen' it refers to a button into top right (this i cannot see in my iPhoto)
This is out of date as of the release of Yosemite and iPhoto 9.6. To use iPhoto in full screen you click the free button.
Your problem seems to be that your photo doesn't show in the full screen format?
There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/ Library/ Caches...
5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
If none of these help: As a Test:
Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

Occasionally flickering iMac screen after installing Yosemite

Occasionally flickering iMac ()intel) screen after installing Yosemite. Cannot yet specify when the flickering occurs, but it cover large sections of the screen. Absolutely annoying.

I also have this issue but only below 6 screen illumination steps (bars)
This flickering issue is active after waking up from sleep os screen sleep and if I increase the screen light to a setting higher than 6 screen step for a wile (30 seconds or so) and the reduce the light to a level below 6 steps it usually holds on without flickering.
This happens on an late 2009 iMac with nvidia card running OS X 10.10 and apple later upgrades but not (until now) on another same age and OS X version iMac I have but instead of the nvidia card it has an ATI
Question:
Has anyone tried to use the Mavericks nvidia graphic card driver with Yosemite?

Organizer jumps to first picture in well after exit from Full Screen viewer

I'm using PSE 11, and noticed that I'm losing my place in the well after using the Full Screen viewer (F11). For example, if I have 300 pictures in the well, and am halfway through them on picture 150, and I select a few pictures to view Full Screen then press ESC or Exit button to go back, the organizer takes me to the top of the well, with the first picture highlighted. I have to scroll down to find where I was. Is there a way to avoid this?

The problem mentioned above still seems to be present in PSE13. I find this so frustrating that I am considering abandoning the organizer in spite of having 14000 organised and tagged photos in my catalog. SURELY there must be a fix to this problem!

Aperture viewer issues after full screen view - in Browser, Split View and Viewer modes

2012 MacBook Air, Mac OS 10.8.2, Aperture 3.4.3. Everything is up to date and, as usual, has been working just fine since the last update a few weeks ago. Full screen view never caused any issues... until today.
I tried quitting and restarting Aperture. Using another Aperture library. Quitting everything and restarting my MBA... same behavior.
I went into the full screen view, edited a photo and got out of the full screen view to export it.
All of the sudden, only one line of thumbnails was showing up in my Broswer view (out of 380 pictures in that project). Looking closely at it, it seems like the Aperture now thinks that the desktop area it has to work with (the dark gray area where the thumbnails are) is larger than the aperture window because a part of photo is showing up cut off at the right edge and no slider at the bottom:
(note: at the bottom it says 380 items displayed)
Going back to full screen view, everything looks and works as nothing has happened:
In Broswer view, if I scroll down such that the first row is out of the view, the second row of thumbnails shows up:
Now, if I scroll back up, two rows of thumbnails are shown in the viewer:
To get the third row to show up, I need to scroll down to get the top two rows out of the way and so on.
At some point I saw this weirdo but have not been able to replicate it:
Split View also has its issues - the photo itself is no longer centered and the slider at the bottom gets out of the way past the right edge of the Aperture window before reaching the end of the row of thumbnails:
Finally, when double clicking the photo in the Split View to view it by itself, once again it is not centered and cut off on the right side but there is no slider...
Any ideas? I tried looking through the Viewer-related threads on here and did not see anything close to this. Is there a way to contact Apple support? I found some form somewhere on the website, but it had a dropdown for operating system and nothing past 10.7.2 so I am guessing it is not being maintained...
edit: added the note under the first image

When the graphical user interface is misbehaving, it frequently helps to remove the Aperture preferences apple.com.Aperture.plist from your user library, see the Aperture 3: Troubleshooting Basics on how to do this.

Compare speed of full screen view: PSE8 vs PSE5?

My workflow requires rapid Full Screen Viewing in Organizer of a couple hundred RAW files in a session. I have PSE5 now and the flow flowed well when I was working with jpg files.
Now, each RAW photo takes about 8 to 10 seconds to come up vs the former 1 to 2 secs w jpgs. Irfanview is very fast in viewing one RAW file after another but it only works for successive files in a WinXP folder. I need to call up multiple files with a common set of tags and screen these fast.
Does PSE8 do fast Full Screen viewing from file to file? How fast?
[I tried to install the trial copy of PSE8 within Sandboxie because I feared for irreversible damage if I didn't like PSE8 but my install didn't work. Error msg: “Licensing for this product has stopped working” error 148.3
so I come before you for help.]
Thanks much for your advice.

Thanks much John and Paige.
My situation: PSE5 has much of what I need for organizing and editing. It's been rock solid in reliability on my XP machine. But I do need much better Full Screen viewing of selected groups of photos based on filtering via my tags on the pix.
As I noted, PSE5 takes about 8-10 secs for each of several Full Screen Views. I've been wondering about alternate routes to my goal of a couple of seconds.
Do you think that the slowup is due to reading from the hard drive? Then, perhaps an internal SATA drive would do the trick?
Is the slowup due to a slow CPU on my HP Pavilion a1330n with an Athlon 64 (S) 3800+ 2.4 GHz [running WinXP 32)
and or a slow graphics board (ATI Radeon Xpress 20) . The perhaps a new computer?
My thinking is that perhaps I should put my money into a new computer if that would definitely speed PSE5 Full Screen View to a couple of seconds.
Otherwise, I tried LR3 beta and you're right. It's way fast enough.
Any suggestions/information would be much appreciated.

Reboot Stuck After Installing Yosemite

After installing Yosemite I got a notification that the system would be slow while it optimizes the system. Well, after 3 hours of using it in slow motion, I rebooted. During the shutdown phase I got a blank screen with a spinning wagon wheel. It's been like this now for about an hour.
Any suggestions?

Usually, if your drive does not appear at all in Disk Utility, then it has died. What is the exact model Mac that you have? If it is pre-2011 then it cannot do full Internet Recovery. I don't know what the error message means. Are you using a default router setup or are you using your own configuration with different DNS settings? I don't know what that error means, specifically, but usually those errors indicate a connection problem. If possible try using Ethernet rather than Wi-Fi.

IPhoto 11 window won't open, only have full screen view

After I upgraded, the iphoto window would not come up. The menu bar at the top is active, and I am able to access my photos from Full Screen View. But when I toggle back, and close full screen, everything closes...
Any suggestions?
Thank you!

Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
What's the plist file?
For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

After installing Yosemite iWork09 no longer works. Do I need to purchase an upgrade?

After installing Yosemite iWork09 no longer works. Do I need to purchase an upgrade?

All of the iWork 09 apps work for me with Yosemite. Try the following:
1 - delete all files with iWork in the file name from your User/Home/Library/Preferences folder.
2 - delete all files with iWork in the file name from your User/Home/Library/Preferences/ByHost folder.
3 - delete all items (files or folders) with iWork in the name from your User/Home/Library/Caches folder.
4 - reboot and try the iWork apps again.
NOTE: In Lion and Mountain Lion the Home/Library folder is now invisible. To make it permanently visible enter the following in the Terminal application window: chflags nohidden ~/Library and press the Return key - 10.7: Un-hide the User Library folder. This will also work for Mavericks and Yosemite.
For Mavericks and Yosemite go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring up this window:

Why do I have a grey logon screen now after downloading Yosemite ?

Hi, sorry if this sounds daft but please could anyone tell me why I no longer have my regular login/start up screen when I turn my macbook pro on ? I used to get a small flower icon with my name underneath it that I just had to enter my password into, now, after installing Yosemite, I am presented with a grey/white screen with a torso silhouette and then my name underneath and then space to enter my password. If I enter my password it oddly starts a bar system loading with an apple icon above it, it then mostly goes to my desktop ( eventually ) but sometimes goes to the original logon screen where I have to enter my password again ???
I am not certain that Yosemite has installed correctly? if I click the apple logo and "about this mac" - it says I am running OS X Yosemite 10.10 but in my app store account, the download is not listing as done or even waiting to be done ?
Does anyone have any ideas please ?
Many thanks

Hello Armando
Check out the article below for troubleshooting your issue with the display. There are a few things that can be done, like changing the resolution of the display and also to reset the NVRAM to see if that resolves that for you.

Photoshop Elements 11 Organizer: Full screen view of lower quality than with PSE 10 and before?!

Upgrading from PSE 10 to 11, I noticed that when I watch my images with the organizer in PSE 11 in full screen view mode (F11), while the images load faster, they are shown in a lower quality than in PSE 10 or any other version of PSE that I owned before. In PSE 11, after the initial viewing in full screen (in the "fit screen" mode), when I click with the mouse on an image to display the "100%" view, there is a delay and the program says "Loading...", after which the 100% view in the full screen mode appears. When I then click another time with the mouse on the image to get back to "fit screen" mode, I get an image of better quality than during the initial view!
So it seems like the program first gives a faster, but lower quality view of the image in full screen mode, and only after the user requests a 100% view, it actually loads the image with full detail, which is then preserved when going back to the "fit screen" view. This is a serious issue for me, because I also use PSE organizer to present my pictures to other people, and I don't want to show them some lower quality versions of my images, but the full quality ones, without having to first choose "100% view" and then go back to "fit screen".
How can I make the PSE 11 organizer give me a full-quality full screen image right away, as this used to be the case in PSE10 and before?
(I have both versions, PSE 11 and PSE 10, now on the same computer and tested this to confirm that the PSE 11 initial full screen view is of lower quality than the PSE 10 one. Also in PSE 10, there is practically no delay for displaying the "100%" view afterwards, indicating that the image was loaded with full detail right away.)

- Update:
* Adobe's senior support level has replied to me about this issue as follows:
"Thank you for contacting Adobe.
When you press the F11 button, Organizer 11 uses the Bicubic
interpolation mainly because it is less processor intensive compared to
Bicubic Sharper, and it helps to create the preview on the fly, rather
than based on the thumbnail cache.
When you zoom out from the 100% view, Elements Organizer uses Bicubic
Sharper. This is because Bicubic Sharper is used for image reduction, so
if the 100% view is larger than the available screen space, it will need
to shrink. The Bicubic Sharper images may look more crisp however, Like
any sharpening algorithm, Bicubic Sharper introduces halos and
edge-enhancement artifacts. Those halos are typically slight, but any
further sharpening (which you'll need when preparing an image for print,
for example) will exaggerate them.This is expected behavior. The
Organizer isn't great for determining exact quality, I recommend you to
use Elements Editor for this purpose.
Thank you,
Bobby Johnson,
Adobe Technical Support."
* My reply on this to Adobe is:
"Hello Bobby,
thank you for your reply. Now at least we are talking about the same thing.
Why I am wondering about the choice to use the "Bicubic" algorithm when pressing F11 in PSE 11 is that all previous versions of PSE that I owned (which spans from PSE 6 to PSE 10) did use the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm right away when pressing F11. So apparently Adobe didn't worry about processor intensity of this algorithm then, and computers are getting all the time more powerful.
It is true that in some situations, the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may introduce halos and edge-enhancement artifacts, as you write. On the other hand, especially on smaller resolution screens, the results of the "Bicubic Sharper" algorithm may look more crisp and lively, while the ones of the "Bicubic" algorithm may look more flat and lack fine detail. This is not only my personal opinion, but as I have brought up this topic in several forums, I can see that I am not alone here.
So assuming that the question about preferring "Bicubic Sharper" or "Bicubic" as a default algorithm when pressing F11 is partly a matter of taste, and partly a matter of the hardware the user has available, why can Abobe not give the user an option to choose which one he/she would prefer? For instance, F11 gives full screen view with "Bicubic" applied, and CTRL+F11 with "Bicubic sharper"? Or make this an option in the preferences?
As I am using the PSE organizer also to present pictures to other people (and I know many people who use it that way too), I would like to show them my pictures as sharp and detail-rich as possible. Therefore, I would highly appreciate an option as described above to be implemented in the PSE 11 organizer via an update. It should be fairly easy from a programming point of view, since both algorithms are already contained in the program anyway."
* If you support this suggestion of mine as stated above, please also contact Adobe accordingly! The more support requests they get for this, the more likely it is that they will implement this update! You may mention my case number 0184046323 for reference.

How to get Lightroom 5.7 to display in full screen mode on Mac Yosemite?

How can I get Lightroom 5.7 to display in full screen mode in Yosemite (Mac OS X 10.10.1)?
Of course, that old full screen button at the top right of the window is gone now in Yosemite, but the third button in the top left of the window (the one that used to be green) should perform the same function, but it doesn't -- it just resizes the window, which was the default behaviour in Mavericks.
And there's no "Enter Full Screen" command under the View menu, either.
Seems pretty essential that a photo editing app would have a full screen view to remove all the clutter. How do you do it in Lightroom?

Shift+F Toggles the different screen modes for the Lightroom application, pressing F Takes an individual image into full-screen mode.

Want an option to having a REAL full-screen view when in writing mode in Word (as there was in 2003)

For the present Word version (365) I have not found a way to be able to use the entire/total/really full screen estate when using writing mode in Word. (Perhaps there is a way, not discovered by me yet?) But what I want both in Word 365 and foremost in the
next iteration of Word, is the option to choose - when in writing/editing mode - the entire screen real estate, with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and nothing at the bottom of the screen either.
This must be possible to establish as an option?!
The Word 2003 had such a feature, but it (completely?) disappeared as an option from 2007 and later, as far as I can see, and this lack of being able to choose using a totally blank screen, from bezel to bezel, with no other things than what you write on
it, is for me and many other writers, who often also use a machine with a rather small screen, a significant missing feature!
As I see it, the real estate that is "given away" to give space to the two vertical columns (to give a for me the unnessary and unwanted "impression/illusion" of having to deal with a sheet of paper placed on the middle of the screen),
this real estate should instead be used as a typing "place". In other words: Many writers and others would really like to be able to use ALL the screen from left to right and from top to bottom to be filled with letters and words!
Can and will this technically be done? So that we again (as in 2003) can be given the option to choose (real) full-screen view?
I would really like to get some positive feedback from developers and decision makers in the Word developer team at Microsoft about the possibility of re-establishing this now seemingly missing option.

Hi,
Thank you for your feedback.
As far as I know, this is currently not available in Office 2013. We are sorry that at this time we are not able to edit documents in a full screen mode that "with NO columns on each side of the screen and with NO Ribbon or other stuff on top and
nothing at the bottom of the screen either. "
We have passed this information to the product group for consideration for a future product or update.
Please be assured that our developers strive to capture Microsoft users' ideas and are working hard to create a more powerful and easy-to-use product.
Thanks for your understanding.

7.4 changed my full screen view of videos

I updated to iTunes 7.4 this morning after realizing most of the new features are useless to me who has no iPod or iPhone, but I did see mention of full screen support (and couldn't remember if that was new or not.)
I played a couple of videos going from command-0 to command-3 and then command-F and back again, getting inconsistent results (ending up with command-F giving me a small video view in an entirely black background.
Not only that, the thumbnail for one of my videos, changed from its former image to a solid green screen, (although the video still plays when clicked on.)
I went back to my daughter's PC with iTunes 7.3.2.6 and noted that I have complete control of the same videos from the command-0 setting all the way to command-F (full screen view) and back and forth without weirdness.
Anyone else note similar quirks with 7.4 full screen support?

Well, I have solved part of my problem - in Preferences>Playback, I changed "Play movies and TV shows" and "Play music videos" to "in a separate window" and the sizing issue seems to have settled down. Command-F seems to have a toggle action.
Choosing Command-0, command-1, command-2, command-3 steps up from smallest size to "fit to screen" size and then command-F takes you to full screen mode. but hitting command-F again then takes you back to "double size (command-2) although the menu shows View>Fit to screen command-3 as selected. Weird.
Choosing one of the other selections, say double size (command-2) repeatedly just sets that size on the first attempt and then on later repeats of command-2 it just flashed the "View" menu item without toggling to another size (and continues to display View>Double size command-2 as it should.
So the remaining question I guess is how to get my thumbnail view back from the green screen. How is that image selected anyway? It doesn't appear to be the first frame of the video necessarily.
And here I am back later editing this after reading the iTunes Help stuff. I fixed this by control-clicking on the frame I liked and then selecting "Set Poster Frame" from the dropdown.
So overall, not much to complain about other than the weirdness with video sizing and command-F
