Safari display help for a Mac newbie!

Hi everyone,
I have never used Macs before so I hope this question isn't too ridiculous...!
When using Safari, all the web pages I open are either half or three-quarters the size of the screen even when I use the little plus (maximize) button in the top left hand corner.
Only one page has ever fitted the full screen. Is there any way to make all pages opened with safari full-screen size? I've fiddled around with the settings but to no avail...
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

The easiest way I have found to do this is to high light and drag the following java script to your bookmarks menu bar. Name it any thing you want. I called mine re-size. Click it and it will expand the window full page. It works with Safari 2, safari 3 beta, FireFox, Omni-wed, and SeaMonkey.
Full screen script for browsers
javascript:self.moveTo(0,0);self.resizeTo(screen.availWidth,screen.availHeight);

  • Help for a Mac newbie please!

    Hi all,
    I just got my lovely MacBook Pro yesterday... and could use some help with these 2 problems...
    1 - on my Windows PC I have a VPN connection to 1 of my clients. When I tried to set it up on the Mac it's asking for an IPSEC shared secret? Is there any way to disable this requirement, or does my client have to set a key on his server?
    2 - I am having a problem connecting to my windows laptop through my home network...if I enable the Guest account on windows XP, the MacBook connects no problem. If however [as I really want to] I try to connect as a "proper" user with username and password, the Mac keeps telling me the username or password is wrong...which it definitely isn't!
    My thought is regarding the "domain"...I don't have one set up at home...just a workgroup called "home"...so when I try to login I am only typing in the username...the tooltip for the usernae field says domain\username...do I need to put anything here for domain, and if I do, what...as there isnt one!
    Thanks,
    Nige

  • Help for a mac newbie.......

    hello all. i recently purchased a used MBA original 1.6Ghz intel core 2-duo 2GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM, running MAC OSX Lion 10.7.3 (11D50b). its my first macbook. the issue i have is that i cannot input my own password, ie, when i go to input a new password it asks for the old password, something i dont have! i have tried to contact the seller, but am having no joy. how do i reset the entire macbook, to a point were i can set my own password. even to a point were it is like a new purchase, so that i may set it up how i want it, with my own passwords,settings, apps, programmes etc. Thanks

    Use the install DVD for that MacBook Air to erase and Install the operating system. When you do that then you can enter your own password.
    Missed your saying your on Lion change that to read boot from the Recovery Partiton by hold down Command = R as you boot.

  • Purchasing help for the mac

    hi all.
    new to mac and relatively new to adobe. hoping for some guidance.
    i run a small design build firm and recently ported to the mac os while still running a couple of boot camp installs of windows and parallels with windows 7 on the laptop. I am currently using Aperture to get my images organized and have been reasonably happy with it.
    i am in need of a "poster - workflow" using something like indesign but i am sure i could also use photoshop (which I am familiar with) and illustrator (for various vector manipulations i imagine). i'll also be doing some modest print material, keynote presentations and i have a wordpress website/blog and will be updating a very old blog at some point in the future. i would also /love/ to have a way to manipulate 3D files into my print work in creative ways.
    can anyone give me the lowdown as to whether I should be buying the InDesign CS5 Suite that includes Photoshop, ID and AI (for the mac) and whether I need to look at Acrobat 3D (for Wind 7 because there is no Mac option for this)?
    I mention some tangential issues in case anyone can offer tangential advice and apologies if this is not exactly the right forum as I am just getting started on figuring out where to enter the discussion over here.
    TIA for any help.
    Jon

    thanks very much John.
    sorry, i have been trying to work my way through the mud over here.
    so the "poster workflow" would be something along the lines of a 24 x 36 inch set of poster boards for a competition and I'd ideally like to be able to set the images, update them and then have the poster update. I had a really pleasant experience with the ID demo a number of months ago so I'm totally sold on ID.
    i also do a lot of 3D modeling and expect to include "vector-based" images in some of these presentations. since i am familiar with photoshop i am also sold on photoshop. i've been on the mac for a year and a half and editing images has been a mess quite frankly without it. so i'm hoping to solve a number of problems.
    do you by any chance have any experience with the mac?
    i mean, i guess "CS5.5" is the suite of products mentioned above is that right? do i have any deals that i can work if i purchase this (pricewise)? I don't think I can hold off until 2Q 2012 which I assume means somewhere around March?
    Anyway, the other issue is that I am organizing images in Aperture and I can't quite figure out if I get a more economical workflow by moving to something like Lightroom. It would be great to not have to always export images out of aperture to get them into the AI, ID, Photoshop workflow. But I am not sure how Lightroom works with these three, either.
    Lastly, my look at Acrobat 3D /seemed/ like it was pretty robust. It appears that I can insert a 3D model into a pdf document and let others rotate it around in real time. It also appeared that it would let me do an "exploded axonometric" in a rather easy manner. the pain for me here is if it is only available on the windows platform.
    anyway, i realize some of this is rather specialized and that some of it is rather obtuse as I try and hack my way forward.
    any advice you can offer I'd be grateful for...
    regards.

  • Display Help for Field not referred through Data Elements in ALV

    Hi,
    I am working on a report program where the output is in ALV_LIST display format.The internal table used to define the field catalog contains fields that are not declared using Data elements.For these fields, when i press F1 from the output, the message I receive is 'No Document Available'.Can someone tell me how I can attach a help document to these fields without creating a new data element for each of these fields....
    For eg : My internal table that forms the field catalog is
      Data : Begin of i_itab occurs 0,
             matnr like mara-matnr,
             Name(50),
             end of i_itab.
    When this table is displayed in ALV, if F1 is pressed on the field matnr the corresponding dictionary help pops out.But since the field Name has no help document attached to it, i cannot view any help for this..Kindly tell me how i can attach my own help document to this field.
    Thanks,
    Swathi

    Hi,
    This issue was solved using the followiing steps.
    1. There is a parameter 'IT_EVENT_EXIT 'in the FM REUSE_ALV_LIST_DISPLAY or REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY.
    2.Set the value of the field of this paramter as
    EXIT-UCOMM= '&ELP'  " F1
    EXIT-BEFORE = 'X'
    This will make the control go directly to the user command functio written inside the program rather than the standard SAP define duser command....
    3. Inside the perform -usercommand in the ALV program use the FM HELP_DOCULINES_SHOW to show the appropriate help document
    This method may be used to display help text for those fields/columns in the ALV which are not referred to the fields/data elements in the data dictionary tabel

    Perhaps you could write to Apple at Apple, Inc.

    USA and see if they have any materials that they could send you. Otherwise, I don't know if you have access to Facebook or something like that, you could set up a site there? What most people do though, is get together a user's group and meet to discuss all things Apple.

  • Help for buying mac from abroad

    basically i want to buy a mac from the US but i live in england. so it will be posted to a friends auntie in the us and then was going to have her send it to me. but i heard there is high tax price to send it across. so does anyone have any idea how much it will cost? or has someone else done this before? thanks for any advice.

    It's a simple matter to call UPS or Federal Express and find out what the shipping costs would be from the US to you. Call your customs office and find out what the duty, import taxes, and VAT would cost.
    As Ned has said you will not have a UK configured machine which also means a US keyboard, US version of OS X installed, etc.
    You will pay US shipping to your relative's location and US sales tax which averages around 7%. For a Mac Pro's basic price the sales tax will be roughly $175.00 USD and shipping another $40 USD. That totals about $215 USD or around 110 pounds. You will then pay VAT and import taxes plus shipping to the UK which I'm pretty sure will run more than 90 pounds total.
    Seems pretty obvious to me that you are better off buying it locally.

  • Dual display help for a recently converted mac user

    I have a 24" Intel IMac and I wanted to set up dual displays. I may have jumped the gun a little because I didn't do much homework but I found a big cheap monitor at Best Buy which is an HP w2338. I bought that and the mini-DVI to VGA adapter. I hooked everything up and both monitors work but I have a couple small issues that I can't seem to find how to fix. First, I have about a 1.5 inch strip along the left side of my hp monitor that isn't used at all. It is just a black strip that taunts me. When I drag things from my IMac to my HP it drags fine, but it just acts like the monitor is smaller than it is. The resolution on my IMac is set to 1680x1050 and on my HP it is 1920x1080. Second, I have very faint vertical stripes in my new HP monitor. They can be seen the best in the grey parts of my windows. Any help with either issue would be greatly appreciated.

    On your 24-inch iMac's screen, the native resolution is 1920x1200. You can use a lower resolution, but the display will seem a bit fuzzy (the pixels are being approximated). So you should use 1920x1200 on the iMac's screen, unless you have a good reason to use something else.
    On the HP display, it sounds like the native resolution is 1920x1080. That's the resolution of an HDTV, so it should work. However, when you connect an HDTV, it connects with a digital connection, HDMI. So I think it will work if you connect it HDMI. If that monitor happens to have DVI, use DVI.
    If it only has VGA and HDMI, there was a recent topic that was very similar (same display I think). Is your iMac the older model (not the brand new 2009 model) with a Mini-DVI port? If so, take a read there to see if the information is applicable to your situation.
    http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=9247482
    Now, if that display you have is different, and it has a DVI connector, please post back.

  • Is Safari the best for the mac?

    i have a new macbook and have noticed that safari is rather slow compared to my old windows xp computer which i used firefox. i read a little here on these boards and noticed other have some issues with safari.
    i want to ask if safari is the best online browser or if there is better? i downloaded firefox and noticed it is a bit faster.
    should i keep with safari? I mean, it did come with my new macbook...but so did internet explorer on my old windows laptop and never used it.
    i'm one to take full advantage of applications and know the ups and downs of the application im using. does safari have enough features for me to keep at it or what?
    thanks.

    It is really hard to give a definative answer to this, because it becomes a matter of preference.
    Safari, is a very good web browser.
    There are of course many users that prefer Firefox, or Mozilla,Opera,SeaMonkey, and on and on. Here is a link that will not only give you a wide array of choices, it may also help to confuse you.

  • Airport Question for a Mac Newbie

    I just got a Macbook Pro and I also bought the Airport Extreme. When I click on the Airport Icon I can see about 15 or so different networks at any given time. I have a 2 part question. First how do I know which network/router is mine? How can I rename the network that is listed? I am very new to Mac's and wireless networking. I just want to make sure that I have protected my network properly. I set up a password for WAP is that all I need to do? One last thing, is there anyway I can make sure that I am protected properly? Thanks Much!!!
    MacBook Pro 2GHz   Mac OS X (10.4.5)  

    A question eh? My counting must be off I see at least 4 question marks...
    You know which router is yours because you set it up and named it. If you still can't figure it out you should pick a better name. When you click on your network and type in your password you should be able to connect.
    To rename a network you will need to connect to it and run the AirPort Admin Utility which is location in the "Utilities" folder in your "Applications" folder.
    If by WAP you mean WPA then you are off to a great start. When you picked the password I hope you didn't make it too easy to guess. Try putting numbers, letters and symbols in it and you should make it at least 16 charaters long to be sure that you are safe (I use 24 characters).
    I would suggest looking at this tutorial from Apple - it might help answer some questions and should give you a better understanding:
