Quicktime Player wont stretch file when going to full screen

Not used it for a while, but i opened up a movile file in Quicktime player today (for example one of the leopard videos from apple.com), and when i selected Cmd F to run in full screen, the 'movie' file stayed the same size, and put a big black border round it.
It used to stretch fit the whole screen, but not any more!
Is there an option i have missed/messed with which stops the file running in true full (fit) to screen?
Latest version of QT etc...
Thanks

Thank you
I looked at the full screen options, but thought that touching these would have made the movie open in fit to screen mode, which is what i didnt want, i needed them to open in there normal size, then doing the CMD F did full screen and fit to screen automatically (doh!)

How can i print an Excel file when in the full screen mode (no print options on toolbar or right clk

using Vista, sometimes after creating and saving an excel file, the document is not visible when the file is reopened.
selecting full screen mode makes the document visible, but the toolbars disappear and the print option does not show up on a right click. How can i print the document and see the document in some other mode than full screen?

In order to print, you can click the CTRL+P keys to launch the print dialog,
Regarding the missing toolbar, try clicking the ALT key to shouw the software menu, then look around under the view option for any available toolbar settings,
If you cannot find it, i would recommend you to try the Microsoft support forums, as they have some more knowledge with their software features

Flash Player crashes when going into full screen mode

Hey guys! It's basically as the title implies. Whenever I am watching a video and attempt to go into full screen mode, flash player crashes and I get an error window reading "Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 has stopped working". As a matter of fact, it doesn't even happen all the time. It happens most of the time, however. It has happened even immediately after searching for and installing the newest version. What might be causing this and what can I do to resolve it? I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox as my browser.
Thanks in advance friends!

this may be hardware related. try unselecting "Hardware Acceleration..."
right click a movie or flash content and uncheck the box in the first tab in Settings. quit out of the browser and try fullscreen again.

FaceTime camera turns off when going to full screen

Hi guys,
both me and my girlfriend have the same issue with FaceTime and Mavericks on MBA 2012: when we start a conversation and switch to full screen, the image disappears. The sound remains, so we can keep talking, but no video. The camera indicator also shuts down.
We have to go back to a window view, then switch again to full screen - then "it just works".
There were no problems in ML before, it just started with Mavericks. My girlfriend has moved to Mavericks first and the problem appeared when she was toggling to fullscreen, I couldn't see her until she switched back to window view, then she could switch again to full screen. She could see me me all the time. When I updated to Mavericks, I got the same issue.
Does anybody have the same problem? Any suggestions how to resolve it?
Thank you very much!

Hi,
I see I made an error in my first answer.
The Original post is categorised as iMessages and Messages as well as Using Mavericks and Wifi and Internet.
It then has a tag of FaceTime.
I filter my searches in the Mavericks Community by using the iMessages and Messages Category.
As an iMessages conversation can be used to invoke FaceTime for Video Chat I can see that was what I was thinking about here.
However at the same Time Messages can do Video chats in AIM and Jabber accounts and has it's own windows for that.
I seem to remember an issue with one app not going Full Screen when the window was not "landscape" but more 4:3 or even square in looks.
I don't think that was FaceTime but as the app can display in either Portrait or Landscape it may pay yo switch to Landscape first.

I have a problem - the program QuickTime player longer open files - gororit that codec for the opening of the program at all of the files that I opened have the extension avi. tried to remove a program, it is impossible.I tried to load the program from Apple, reinstalled. but I was wrong still going on! what to do?

before using for all entries in, u need to check whether the driver internal table is empty, if it is empty, u should not enter into select statement.
if u wont use this check means, when the driver internal table is empty, the second select will take all the entires from the tables.

Thanks for your reply. This video was recorded by my own professional camera, Sony PMW EX 3, two years back. But I am neither a professional cameraman nor an editor. I am just like a beginner in both. I didnt have space in my storage device, so I just copied all my clips, thinking I can edit it latter, without recompressing or editing or whatever I should have done it at that point of time. Now I need to edit it and use it in my profession. I am very upset. Please help me in going step by step to get it in FCP X for editing. Also I would like to know, do I need to buy the Compressor 4 for any reason. I dont mind in buying, if you think it is going to be useful for some reason. Thank you very much in anticipation for any kind of proper guidance.

When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swiping to a different app

When FT is full screen, camera goes off when swipping to a different app or the desktop. This is frustrating to the other person. We were having a discussion and I said I wouls look it up and when I swipped to Safari, the camera went off. It makes the other person think the connection has been lost. Anywhere to report issues like this to Apple?

In reading other threads, I found a few that recommend a hard reset to solve the issue. I have tried it, and thus far haven't expereienced the problem again. Hopefully that's it then

BROKEN: FCP goes to full screen preview no matter what I click on!

I know I'm not offering a lot of details, but ANYWHERE I click except the menu, and FCP goes to full screen preview at the current cursor position.
What the heck is going on?

Nice--thank you! I have never touched FCP, but I am sitting here providing telephone support for a computer I can't see or touch... argh! And, my friend, is not that computer literate at times so you know how that goes when they are clicking on something completely different or describing things wrong.
So, that one's solved--but, it appears Compressor 2 is broke, and I'm advising him to reinstall at this point. Under Preview/Settings, I have him click to create a new setting... ("+", then Quicktime Export Components -- or anything else for that matter) -- and NO new setting appears (usually, "untitled" I believe). Compressor does NOTHING. Oh, and then it locks up some of the time apparently because he just gets stuck with the "pinwheel" mouse cursor...
Reinstall time, if I'm not mistaken. Don't know if Compressor can be reinstalled separately from FCP, but he says FCP is like a 3 hour job. I told him if he goes that far to upgrade to FCS 2 and Compressor 3 and install the latest.
Comments invited. Thanks for all the help.

Is there a way to get the bookmarks toolbar to display when switching to full screen on a Mac?

When switching to full screen mode in Firefox 9 the bookmarks toolbar goes away. I can't find any view setting to keep it displayed. Is there a way?

Maybe use the Bookmarks sidebar instead (Command+B).
You can also add code to userChrome.css below the default @namespace line to display the Bookmarks Toolbar when you hover to the top of the window to unhide the toolbars and tab bar. 
I don't know if that works on a Mac.

Flash freezes when expending to full screen

Hi, I am using Windows 7 Pro 64 bit, IE9. (I have also tried reverting back to IE8 but the issue persisted)
The problem is this:
When I expend the flash player on YouTube and many other websites to full screen there is a 2 - 3 seconds freeze before the player eventually goes to full screen. The voice keeps playing in
those couple of seconds while the player sort of freezes.
It is super annoying and I have no idea how to fix it - I tried uninstalling and reinstalling flash several times with no avail. The Issue happens only in IE and Firefox (I just installed it to try) - I have Chrome installed and the player expends to full screen without an issue. Maybe it doesn't happen in Chrome because it has a built in Flash Player that's not dependent on what is installed on the PC.
I have created a new partition and installed Windows 7 there and the issue doesn’t occur so the hardware is fine and it’s not a widespread issue or a bug with flash in general or YouTube player in particular. I have also tried to replicate all the Registry tweaks and some other things that I thought could cause the issue but the issue still doesn't occur in the new OS (I can't just switch to that OS because it would take weeks to reinstall everything from my current OS there).
The issue doesn't occur with the Silverlight either.
Examples to sites that the flash player used in them that work bad: YouTube, Engadget (with videos embedded from YouTube and the built in player (for example here),
And then - there are other websites that I don't remember them all that IE has no problem expanding flash players to full screen – LIKE THIS IN ENGADGET USING THEIR BUILT IN PLAYER – unlike with most other places in Engadget that their built in player doesn’t expand without a freeze. And here is an example of a YouTube player that expends fine.
Please help me - I don't know what to try and I don't remember what I installed or did to cause this - what can be the possible cause.
Thanks

Hi Nong,
What the heck is VDO???
Open Console in Applications>Utilities, check the system log for the date/time of the last problem & next startup for clues.

Make firefox stop going into full screen

I upgraded to Firefox 10 on my macbook pro snow leopard and now the browser keeps going into full screen mode automatically. If I toggle it off, it just goes back to full screen in a few seconds.
I have re-sized the screen and it still does it.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Hi,
When it goes full screen try moving the mouse up to top right of scren & see if there a double diagonal Arrow to click on.
On the other see if it's the silly implentation of Spaces/Mission Control/Expose in ML...

When I use full screen, the top menu is supposed to disappear but does not, why?

Firefox ver. 3.6.8: A friend was using my computer on the web on Firefox. It was already set in "full screen" mode [F11]. She did something, doesn't know what, but now when I go into full screen mode [F11] the top menu does NOT disappear as it should. You know, you hit F11 and when it goes into full screen mode, the last thing that happens is the top menu "disappears" and NOW it doesn't. Iv'e checked configurations and can't figure out what went wrong or is wrong.
Can anyone help, PLEASE!!!
Ellen

Application no longer assignable to a desktop in Spaces. Useable only in full screen, can't access it when not in full screen.

This is a repost to correctly ID this as a Spaces issue. I am using a MacBook Pro with a second monitor in extended desktop. I put iMovie in full screen and when I put it back, it disappeared off of both desktops. I can see it in Spaces and I can use it in full screen. However, it is not available when not in full screen. When I drag and drop it in Spaces to a desktop, it animates off of the top of the screen versus landing on that desktop. I have tried to change the application assignment by right clicking on the iMovie Icon > Options > Assign To, but it affects nothing. I have rebooted both with the external monitor and without, I have uninstalled and reinstalled iMovie and I have tried many combinations of screen resolutions and it is still assigned somewhere other than a desktop. It appears to no longer be associated with or assignable to a desktop. Anyone have any ideas?

Can you access iMovie without being in fullscreen when you do not have an external monitor connected? I cannot. No matter the monitor configuration, it is only accessible in full screen for me.
I agree - it is for sure a bug.

Can't open visualizer in itunes window. It goes to full screen and "show visualizer in full screen" won't stay unchecked. I'm running SL and everything is up to date.

I would really like to be able to view the visualizer in the itunes window. when I uncheck full screen in preferences it does not take. I'ts automatically checked when I open preferences.
