Safari full screen quits on YouTube

I watch a lot of YouTube videos and I like to do so in full screen mode. Every once in awhile the screen shrinks back down, changes to black & white, stops the video (I can still hear the video but it's like I am looking at a screenshot) and says something like "Click here to exit full screen mode" well the only way to get out of this is to click on the screen which then takes you back to the normal video but in small mode. Then need to click full screen mode again. All of this can take 30-45 seconds if I am quick but still I miss what is going on in the video and I have to skip backwards to see it again. It's a real PITA.
Yosemite and Safari 8.0.2
How can I just turn this "feature (bug)" off?

go to your home folder (the home icon should appear next to it) and then Library> safari > extensions
if you don't have a folder that says extentions in the safari folder, then you don't have extensions which would put us back to 0. if you do, move the files out of the folder in a safe place and make sure safari isn't running.
Reboot after movine the safari extensions out of the folder they were in and into a different one (maybe on your desktop).
Now open safari and see if you are still having youtube issues.

Full-screen problem on YouTube

This just started a few weeks ago:
When I go to full-screen mode on YouTube, I get a weird, messed up image that looks like an x-ray or something. Very dark overall, with blurry and unreadable graphics.
Hulu is fine in full-screen mode. Youtube is not. Tried Safari 3.1.2 and FireFox 3.6.6. Both do the weird x-ray thing on YouTube.
Any advice?

Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard?

Is there a way to view Safari full screen in Leopard without auto-hiding the dock? I've already tried searching the forums but could not find much on it or an answer to if it can be done or not. Thanks for any help.

You can open the Code Inspector Window to have the code completely separate from the Design/Document window. You can also then move the CI window to a separate monitor if you like.
Window > Code Inspector or F10

IOS6... How do I see the full screen when watching youtube videos and second the map quality is very poor, foggy most of the time and images overlap to each other... Can I restore to IOS6 if these problems can not be solved?

I just upgraded to IOS6 and I have some difficulties that I never had on IOS5:
How can a see the full screen when watching youtube. Address bar is always in view.
Maps are foggy and some images overlap to eachother.
If these problems can not be solved, how do I downgrade back to IOS5?
Regards,
Luis

No, there is no legitimate way to downgrade iOS to an earlier version.
Be patient, Apple will eventually get around to fixing the "bugs" in iOS 6.

Hi, e8god.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
The option to take apps full screen is still available. Here are the steps on this feature in Yosemite.
Take apps full screen
In many apps, you can expand the window to fill your entire screen. While in full-screen view, swipe to see another app’s full-screen window, to see your desktop, or to see a space you created.
Expand to full-screen view: Click the green full-screen button in the top-left corner of an app window, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
Move between windows in full-screen view: Swipe left or right on a trackpad or Magic Mouse. For more information, see Learn trackpad and mouse gestures.
Return to standard view: Move the pointer to the top-left corner of the screen, then click the green full-screen button again, or press Control-Command (⌘)-F.
Take apps full screen
Cheers,
Jason H.

Open Safari full screen

Can I configure Safari to open full screen when first opening?

Above the tool bar you will see "Window" option. Click it. Then at the last option of the window you will find "Open Safari full screen". Click it and from the next time you open Safari you will find it in full screen.
Thank you.

How are you launching Mail? If you're double-clicking an icon on the Desktop (not in the Dock), delete it. If you're single-clicking an icon in the Dock, right-click or control-click and select Options > Show in Finder from the contextual menu. Open the Info window and check the version number.

Safari Full Screen Page Displacement Issue, Scrolling Artefact.

Hi, there
I really want to make Safari my default browser, it seems like nearly the perfect balance between Firefox and Chrome. I have had a few issues with Safari, though. Once I upgraded to Lion, I decided to give Safari another try. It was very unstable and had weird graphical artefacts when scrolling (ie, the text would sort of copy down the page as I scrolled up.) I decided to switch back to Firefox/Aurora, but recently I chose to give Safari another shot seeing as there had been many software updates for Lion. Anyway, I found that after installing certain extensions, I had the weird scrolling artefact come back. So I've removed the offending extensions, and now that issue seems to be fixed.
I have this other weird issue where for what ever reason, whether it's when I switch tabs or spaces (I'm unsure), the pages I've loaded in tabs will scroll up about 30 pixels (the height of the horizontal tab bar), and I can't scroll up any further. That means that it cuts off 30px of the header on YouTube and various other websites. The only way to fix/correctly re-align the pages, is to hit refresh or exit/re-enter full screen mode. I just find this annoying, it only happens in full screen mode.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

Menu Bar items invisible in Safari full screen mode

I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina, mid-2014 (the MGX72). When I use Safari in full screen mode, then move the cursor to the very top of the screen, which is supposed to bring back the Menu bar, a blank space representing the Menu Bar appears, and if I move the cursor to any place on that blank space and click, I see the items/options associated with Menu Bar items. So it's like the Menu Bar items are there, but they're invisible. This has to be a glitch of some type. My MacBook Air doesn't do this; the Menu Bar items appear normally, as they should. Is there a fix for this? All the usual suspects for bringing Safari out of full screen mode work fine, but that's not the idea. The Menu Bar items are supposed to become visible and they do not.

No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
So anybody with further info, please post it here.

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.
David

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.

My MacBook is brand new, shy of a month and I don't understand why it was recently started to lag whilst watching full screen videos on youtube? Somebody help me please...

Somebody help.. I don't get what's going on. This didn't happen in the beginning, it was completely fine with watching full screen videos, but now it seems to "glitch" now and then and appear slow and laggy. whattttt

If the computer seems normal except for watching youtube the problem is probably between you and your ISP or between the ISP and youtube. If your computer seems slow no matter what you are doing try restarting your computer and see if that helps. (If so pay attention to your Page Outs in the Activity Monitor and also how much free space your hard drive has.)
