OS X LION Issues with Full-Screen; iPhoto, Image Capture & Mail

Hello,
I'm experiencing un-Apple-like issues (bugs) with Lion in Full-Screen mode.
For example - iPhoto doesn't seem to like Full-Screen mode. If iPhoto is open and I connect a camera, for which I prefer Image Capture to retrieve my pics... Image Capture opens 'behind' the full-screen iPhoto, but I can't get to it. Image Capture shows as open on the menu bar in iPhoto's full-screen mode. If I go to the desktop (where it should be opening) Image Capture isn't 'on top' and clicking it takes me back to iPhoto full-screen
Similarly, if I get mail and return to the desktop (the only way to see the dock) and I click on the 'Mail' app icon - I am catapulted into Image Capture... or iPhoto. Returning to the Desktop to click the Mail icon from the dock... takes me to Image Capture... or iPhoto. The 3rd try takes me to the Mail.app which is usually always open and in full-screen mode.
While I'm complaining about bugs, I'd like to mention that I am fully dismayed by the loss of control in full-screen mode when using apps such as Mail or iPhoto. The Mail app opens an email to edit (such as a reply) but you can't access any other mail docs to 'cut and paste' info from. I can only click SEND or CANCEL.
What if I don't want to CANCEL? I just want to go to another email and cut a piece to paste.. I have to exit full-screen mode which allows me to open two email documents at once, then cut and paste. Essentially Mail in Full-Screen is only a reader... not a work area. I can only access the document I have open, since it greys out the Message Viewer. You can't click on the message viewer nor access any of the features of Mail.app. You can only write your email and either Cancel or Send. Where is the 'hold on a second while I go cut and paste'? I don't want to cancel.
Can't seem to use Safari since I'm constantly three-finger swiping it away. My cursor hovers over a text field and suddenly it's zooming in and locks text input. I have to iPhone-like swipe to expand to exit this inadvertent partial (very slight) zoom. Sometimes the zoom is so partial that I can't figure out what's going on until I just exit full-screen mode, close the window and start over.
Seems like I'm starting over and over and over... just to do simple things. Inadvertent zooming, inadvertent 3-finger returning to Desktop, inadvertent changing apps... ugh.
I'm willing to let go of the old and embrace the new future but so far it's been pretty uncomfortable for me to constantly monitor my overly sensitive trackpad gesturing combined with constant bugs and glitches. I'll save complaining about iPhoto's over-simplification (apparently for dummies) like the new Edit menu, Export menu, etc.. since it's more iLife than Lion related. Rate Lion: 2 out of 5 stars for ease of use & features complicated by unrefined software issues.

I've tried follwoing these instructions but I have an issue with
# Create snort user. The intention is to let user snort have access only to the snort database.
$ sudo createuser -U _postgres -P snort
Password:
Enter password for new role:
Enter it again:
Shall the new role be a superuser? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create databases? (y/n) n
Shall the new role be allowed to create more new roles? (y/n) n
It keeps telling me "could not connect to database postgres: could not connect to server: No such file or directory"
I'm running OSX Mountain Lion, and have verified using serveradmin status postgres that it is up and running.

Website with Full Screen Background Images

I'm trying to create a website with full screen background images (or possibly, a video) that will crop to the browser window. It's also important that the image be center-justified. The Die Antwoord site does pretty much what I'm trying to accomplish. I'd also like to know how they can use such high resolution images. If I try to use a high res image, the file size is enormous. Another site that uses similar technology only with a video is the TV on the Radio site.
I am fairly new to Flash so please forgive me if this is a rudimentary question. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply.
What I'm concerned about is the crispness of my full-page images. Am I right in assuming with a PDF folio, static images won't be as crisp? Is there a way to maintain its sharpness?

Need help with full screen slideshow image quality

I am looking to display some images with full screen slideshow. The images I add are very large, over 5000 wide. When I publish the site some images retain their quality while others lose it and look like crap. Why would this be and how can I fix it. I tried to resize them to the 2560x1707 that muse does, and then add them. This doesn't change the end result of poor quality.

Go to Assets Panel and locate the image you want to use at original size. Right click the image and chose 'Import Larger Size'.
See if that helps retain quality for that image, since Muse does not resize/interpolate that image for you.
Cheers,
Vikas

Issue with full screen apps quitting

I am having problems when I exit a full screen app on OSX Mountain Lion!!! It does't happen all the time but when it does the only way I could fix it is log out and log back in!!
The problem is when I quit a full screen app the desktop it created to open the full screen app on remains blank and doesn't close so I end up with my 2 desktops and blank desktops which is really annoying when I want to switch between desktops or other full screen apps!!! Anyone else having this problem?? PLEASE HELP!!!
I am using a Retina Display Macbook Pro!

So this is what I get in Mission control when I exit a full screen app ( look at the blue safari thing ) and when I press it I get this:
Anyone else having this problem?? Plz help if you know a way to fix it!!

Issue with Full Screen & Input languages (Mavericks 10.9.1)

I have two issues with the latest (Version 8.0.24308) Microsoft Remote Desktop from the Mac App store:
1. If I tick the connection entry "Start session in fullscreen" option, after connect the desktop slips upwards like on the screenshot (below on the link)
2. The default input method switches to Latvian after connect (never used Latvian anywhere...).
On my Mac:
- System language: Hungarian
- Input language: Hungarian
On the server:
- System language: English
- Input language: Hungarian (default) + English
+: the app doesn't supports Retina display resolution :(

Hi,
1. The version 8.0.24308 offers updated functionality for full screen mode to users of OS X 10.7+:
OS X native: The native full screen feature for the Mac OS X version.
Custom: The custom full screen mode enables the multi-monitor feature in order to provide a better experience for users of Mac OS X versions 10.7 and 10.8.
Important information for users of 10.9: if you have disabled "Displays have separate Spaces" in Mavericks
(System Preferences > Mission Control) go to Preferences > Resolution in the Microsoft Remote Desktop client and configure the setting using the same option.
Please try the OS X native mode and see how it works.
2. The OS keyboard locale, is suggested to the remote PC. Therefore, please check the keyboard locale.
Hope this helps.

Flash player 10 update:: issue with full screen

I am running a windows xp sp3 and did install (by mistake) an update of the flash player 10.
Youtube (for example)videos play but on full screen, I only have a white screen with the sound.
I uninstalled the flash player and plugin and reinstalled a new flash player and plugin but without any results. I still have a with screen.
Any help or lead would be really appreciated on how to fix my issue.

I was having the same problem, the screen would be blank white when I switched to full screen, no matter where I watched the video at. I disabled hardware acceleration and that fixed it. I'm glad I found this in the forum.

Lion Screen Sharing with Full Screen apps on Remote Lion

Has anyone figured out how to EASILY work with multiple desktops and full screen apps on the remote mac when Screen Sharing with one Lion mac from another? All of the standard methods of switching between desktops and full screen apps (swipe, cmd + <arrow>, etc) all take place on the the local Mac, and not the remote one.
The only real effective methods I have found so far are using the dock (not elegant with full screen apps), and removing an app from full screen. Either way, these methods are clumsy and do not compliment the new features that Lion provides.

You're not going to believe this.
Problem was on my buddy's end. The slash key "/" was stuck down on her keyboard.
Sometimes the solution is so far out of normal troubleshooting, you're luck if you ever find it...
Nothing to see here, move along...

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 for our church worship service; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Thank you!

We run an iMac 3.4 GHz I7 in our church worship service; we have front screens and a stage display monitor ; we haven't upgraded to Mavericks because we heard about issues with multiple screens crashing. Has this issue been resolved? Now that we are 2 upgrades behind, I'm getting little concerned. Thank you!

Oh, well that was a whole other kettle of fish:
Oh the G4 I attempted to install iLife '08 before Lepoard was available. About the only thing that installed cleanly was iPhoto. I ended up reinstalling everything back to iLife '06, and then upgrading back to the current stable version of the iLife '06 version. I didn't attempt a reinstall until after I upgraded to Leopard.
When I did reinstall, I made a iLife '06 folder, copied all iLife apps into it, and upgraded. Seemed to work, except for the part where iMovie gets left behind and iDVD is only mostly functional.
When I installed on the other 2 machines, it was after installing Leopard and all upgrades. On those 2 machines, I didn't bother with the copy, I just moved everything to the iLife '06 folder I created, and did a fresh install.
I didn't have to do anything with the iPhoto Libraries, that I can recall.
I always do an upgrade, never an archive and install. I've never had a problem with this back to 10.1 or 10.2.

Problem with full screen display showing control b...

Now BT have fixed the squashed full screen issue on the Hudl and other tablets perhaps they can now fix the issue where full screen mode still shows the main control buttons (Back, Home, History) underneath the video leaving the video itself still slightly squashed top to bottom. Compare with how BBC iPlayer hides the main control buttons until needed and makes full use of the available screen space for the video itself for example.

I found that since the update to fix the full screen issue I have more options on my tv to alter the picture. I can now zoom in to hide the black bar at the bottom. Worth a try.

Not a thread issue, no thread on this side of the program and yes there is a media tracker. However I have learned that my problem was that my screen does not like to flip to 800x600 for java applications for some reason thx any way.

Issue with blank screen HP G60-447CL Notebook PC

Issue with blank screen HP G60-447CL Notebook PC, I purchased warranty and have had the laptop serviced before for the same exact issue. Same problem has come up again blank screen it has been less than five months this problem was fixed and it has started again: blank screen white, laptop is powered on nothing else happens. Now I cannot reach anyone.

I have tried many times to help folks with different drivers and nothing has worked.
I'd say at least a dozen people have posted about this issue, and no one can fix it.
I don't understand it either.

Help:How to publish a Flash with full screen HTML

Please, guys, be kind enough to teach me how to publish a
Flash with full screen size in HTML. I have tried to search the
board, but so far no luck.
Originally, I want my .SWF to keep changing its background.
The solution I got was placing colored stage-sized rectangles on
the bottom layer. Then I don't want the viewers to see the HTML
area where I cannot seem to control smooth color changes.
So, after I construct a Flash file with backdrop-color
changing by the method I mentioned above, how do I publish it with
full screen mode in HTML, as you can see
here? Help!
Thanks in advance, guys.

Here's an AS2 and a AS3 version I got from David Stiller
2 small details you have to add 1 in publish settings set Dimensions to percent 100 100
and in the html set <style>body {margin: 0; padding: 0}</style>
// AS2
import flash.display.BitmapData;
Stage.align = "TL";
Stage.scaleMode = "noScale";
var tile:BitmapData = BitmapData.loadBitmap("tile");
function fillBG():Void {
beginBitmapFill(tile);
moveTo(0, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, 0);
lineTo(Stage.width, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, Stage.height);
lineTo(0, 0);
endFill();
fillBG();
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.onResize = fillBG;
Stage.addListener(listener);
// AS3
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP_LEFT;
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO_SCALE;
var bmp:Tile = new Tile(50, 50);
var tile:BitmapData = new BitmapData(50, 50);
tile.draw(bmp);
function fillBG(evt:Event = null):void {
graphics.beginBitmapFill(tile);
graphics.moveTo(0, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, 0);
graphics.lineTo(stage.stageWidth, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, stage.stageHeight);
graphics.lineTo(0, 0);
graphics.endFill();
fillBG();
stage.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, fillBG);

Captivate 5.5 Question: We seem to be having an issue with the screen capture piece not recording "everything".
We're running 5.5 as an administrator on Windows 7 and my co-worker is trying to capture a webinar (GoToMeeting) with Captivate and it is not recording anything in the GTM window, except the last slide. Anyone have this problem or know a fix? Not much is mentioned in the Adobe forums.

Captivate simply doesn't 'hear' some screen events on certain applications and you just need to resort to doing manual captures at these points.
I usually set up my manual capture button to be F2 so that I can hit it with my left hand while my right hand is on the mouse navigating through the task.
