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.

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.

Safari always auto-hide bars, always: also in normal screen mode (not full-screen, which is when autohide happens)

Bookmark bar is auto hidden in fullscreen mode, how to keep same functionality in normal mode out of full-screen?
In full-screen I just have the main toolbar showing, which is how I want it all the time. This or either make "full-screen" a lot better.

Full Screen Mode - not "Full" on MacBook Pro w/30" Display

I'm using a 15" MacBook Pro (early 2011) OS 10.7.2 w/Photoshop 12.1 x64. I'm using a 30" Cinema Display. When I select Full Screen with Menu Bar Mode there is a gap at the bottom of the screen where the desktop is visible. I also notice that the Rotate View Tool is not available when the 30" display is in use with MacBook, although it IS available when I work from the MacBook screen. (Open GL Mode - Normal is selected in PShop Prefs) Any fixes for this?
I also work at another studio which has a MacPro running PS 12.1x64 on a 30" display. The full screen mode & Rotate View both work properly on that system.
Perhaps someone will insist that this is a question for the Apple forum, but I'm guessing that forum will insist that I start here. So here goes. Thanks.

Hi,
I'm having exactly the same hard- and software configuration like you, Gordito73 - up to date of course as well. Aperture continues to crash after it really seams to run out of memory while editing lots of photos with many different effects. -.-

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen?

How do I play a video in full-screen mode on one screen of a dual-screen Windows 7 system without blanking out the other screen? Not losing the other screen would be useful as I would like to, for example, monitor my emails whilst watching a video or to work on a project whilst watching an instructional video.
Note : Resizing a window to fill the screen is not acceptable as it still leaves unsightly borders.

Firefox 3.6 starts in taskbar mode, not normal screen mode

Firefox opens only as an item on the Windows taskbar, instead of in "normal" screen mode. I then have to click on the taskbar item to get Firefox to open in normal screen mode.
By normal screen mode, I mean the mode where Firefox fills up part of the computer screen and Firefox can then be resized or moved around the screen as one desires. I am not talking about opening Firefox in what is variously called "full screen," F11, or maximized mode --- and I do not want Firefox opening in such a mode.
I have a wide screen monitor which I use to open and view several software programs at the same time, something which is very handy when you want to compare information from a program on one's computer with information from a Web site, and I need Firefox to open in normal screen mode to permit me to do this multiple program viewing.
I have tried the following plugins , but they either do not solve my problem, or only allow me to start Firefox in full screen mode:
- AutoHide
- Full Fullscreen
- FullerScreen
I have tried searching the Firefox help database, and have done a more general internet search using Google, and have not found any information on this problem.
Is there a Firefox configuration setting I can make to direct Firefox to always open in normal screen mode?

Reply to Cor-el's June 6th message: I created a desktop shortcut and tested it a few times, both various times during computer sessions and a few times just after I had powered up my desktop computer. The shortcut always opens Firefox in "normal screen mode." I also tested opening Firefox from the Start button menu item I have had for several years. The menu item also always opens Firefox in "normal screen mode."
It is only when I use the Web/Home button on the Microsoft internet keyboard that Firefox opens in "taskbar mode." Also, this problem has only been occuring for the past 6 or 7 months. Before that, I could always open Firefox 3 in "normal screen mode" using the Web/Home button.
Note to the other eight people who also indicated they have this problem: My version of the problem seems to be with Firefox's interaction with the software for the Microsoft internet keyboard. I would appreciate it if you could post a reply to this discussion informing everyone whether you have this Firefox startup problem when you use a dedicated keyboard key, or if you have the startup problem when you use just a desktop shortcut or a Start button menu item. Thank you.

Full screen mode not working for original user

Hi,
Whenever I go to start a full-screen mode in iTunes, iCal, Mail, etc. the program makes the default error sound and doesn't enter full screen. This appears in the console, but I'm not sure how to diagnose it:
21/07/11 9:11:18.253 PM Mail: ___createFullScreenMessageConnection_block_invoke_1: Fullscreen message error: Connection invalid
Furthermore, apps like Mail and Safari get interface glitches, which require a restart of the program to fix.
However, the programs work fine in full screen on other user accounts, but I don't want to have to start a new one and move ~400GB of data between them. Is there any way of fixing this? I've also tried reseting permissions.

Resetting my user preferences hasn't helped either.

Full screen mode not working in Mountain Lion

I'm using the new Retina Macbook Pro. The full screen mode to preview pictures and movies is not working; the dock still remains open when the full screen is open. I have to manually hide the dock by pressing command + D and do the same to open the dock again. This doesnt seem to an OS issue because my Macbook Air, which is also running Mountain Lion is doing just fine. I can preview a picture and the dock automatically hides.
Has anyone experienced the same issue? What is the fix for this problem?

Bingo! Problem solved. I didn't realize that you could "right click" the mouse over the "resize" icon in full screen mode. When I did that I found I was in the tiny postcard mode. Selecting "full screen" got me back to where I used to be..enjoying the tv shows in full screen mode. Kinda of weird. Choosing "full screen" from the menu bar didn't make the show full "pictured" though I was in full screen mode. But while in the full screen mode, I could right-click and choose "full screen" and there I be, watching a show in "full pictured". Learned something new.

How to make the finder window expand to full height AND width of my screen, but not "full screen mode".

The new green button on the finder window makes the screen go into full screen takeover mode - alt clicking this makes it 100% height of the screen.
How can I make this 100% width and height (just like it used to be in Mavericks)?
I have 2 x 27" monitors, so the "full screen takeover" mode is not right as I only want the finder window to be on one monitor whilst I work on another.
Any ideas?! Thank you!

Was about to post the same question.
Ever since I upgraded to Yosemite (about a month ago), this odd behavior has irked me.
Could it be that it only plagues those of us running dual displays? And therefore nobody else cares?

Have Pinned site shortcut open in full screen mode (not maximized)

Hello. I'm currently in the testing phases of migrating all of our users from a locally installed client version of their email to a web version of their email. I'd really like the webmail version to look more like an application than a website.
Is there any way to make the pinned site shortcut (not all sites) open in full screen mode when double clicked? Another wish list item would be for the URL field to be removed from it as well. Chrome provides this functionality by making a site
into an application, but then any link you click on within your email opens up in Chrome and thats a deal breaker for me. Does anyone know if this is possible in internet explorer 9? Thanks in advance

any way to make the pinned site shortcut (not all sites) open in full screen mode when double clicked?
I think it does which is a surprise. E.g. if you last closed an IE window in Fullscreen mode it can open up again in Fullscreen mode. This may be in response to user complaints about Maximized mode which would still be a problem because that
is the OS doing. However, even there it has always been possible to open a window from a shortcut in Maximized mode. The problem is that any windows spawned from that one will have the original window's Normal mode attributes in terms of size and
shape.

Full Screen Mode not advancing

I am trying to run a Flash Presentation in Full Screen Mode and the mouse click or space bar will not advance the presentation. However, when I exit full screen mode the presentation has actually advanced with the number of mouse clicks attempted in full screen mode. It is like the full screen slide becomes "frozen". Can anyone out there help me figure this out?

Remote desktop full screen mode not going full screen

Hi,
Running Windows 7 RTM x64 on both my PC at home and my workstation at work.
My PC at home has a square monitor and my work PC has a widescreen monitor.
I used webapps (citrix) from home to get into work environment then remoted to my workstation.
Since doing that, when I am physically at the workstation (at work), I can no longer remote desktop to servers in full screen mode. Instead, it does a smaller window with "full screen settings". Basically the full screen remote desktop is about 3/4 size of the monitor, not 100%.
Any help appreciated.
-thanks

I have this problem too ... On Windows 7.
Dell XPS14 laptop ... No Pause Key ... No Break Key... (ctrl +alt + fn + F12) doesn't work.
The thing that bugs me most is ..... What's
changed and WHY?
I've been using remote desktop for years and maximizing always used to send it to full screen.
Now suddenly I can't go to full screen without exiting and resetting the screen size with the slide bar in the options!
WHY
Seems this has been broken in Windows 7. It still works fine as it used to on my old M65 running Vista.
Why has
this been broken in Windows 7? How come no one at MS noticed?
The marked answer is not acceptable. Sure it works when you initially open the connection but if
you minimize or restore the window the problem comes back as before.
Hi, I'm on a Dell Inspiron N5010 and for me, the winning combination was Ctrl-Alt-Fn-F6. Toggles full screen and windowed screen.

Full Screen Mode Not Working In iTunes

With the latest iTunes update, when I play anything in "Full Screen" mode, I get the black background with this tiny (smaller than a postcard) picture. Anyone else having the same problems? Any suggestions? This problem never happened before. Seems to be related to the recent update. I think the update is telling my computer to act like an iPod, which unfortunately it is. Appreciate any help. Standing by.

Full screen mode with dual screen

I have a Macbook Pro and use a second screen. I do like the new full screen feature but the app (safari, chrome, opera, firefox etc...) will only full screen with the primary screen (macbook screen). Really defeats the point of having two screens and having the full screen feature combined.
Any resolutions or is there a new update coming?
In Summary:
Full screen mode will only work on your primary monitor and not a separate screen. Please help.

Known issue.
Hopefully, it'll be fixed in a future update.

Problem with screen re-draw in full screen mode on secondary screen.

Hello all, using dual monitors , when I enter full screen mode (no window container) on the secondary screen (not the palette screen) panning the image using the hand tool, the screen has a delayed redraw of the image. It is "re-tiling" the image like it is out of memory...even happens on small jpeg files. Doesn't happen in "windowed" modes , and doesn't happen at all on main screen in all modes. I have re-installed Photoshop and checked permissions and disks, trashed preferences, still same. Any thoughts? iMac with mini dvi out, cs3 4 gb ram os10.6.5.

You are coding in a rather rococo style:
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt) {
    Component src = (Component) evt.getSource();
    Point location = src.getLocationOnScreen();
    location.translate(evt.getX(), evt.getY());
    currentMouseLocation = location;
}

Just bought the Mac Book Pro 17" - set up all OK but the applications are only showing on a small screen size, not full screen - the background is still visible as a margin - how do I take the view to full screen corner to corner so to speak.

Just bought the Mac Book Pro for my photography - set up and running last night, but the user screens ie Hot Mail, safari etc.. are only half size sat on the background - I have exhausted the help and calibration log...surel this must be simple to fix...any help out there..thanks..Paul.

Have you just moved over from WIndows?
This is standard on Macs. The ability to see more than one window at a time. Some apps - like iPhoto, Aperture etc - have a Full Screen mode. Check out the View menu.
Drag the lower right hand corner to resize the window.
