Safari will not open in full screen mode

After installing the 3-1-14 update from the Apps Store, Safari will not open in full screen mode when I click the double arrow in the upper right corner of the screen. If I try the View>Enter Full Screen it still will not open full screen. Prior to this update, everything was fine. I know the info on the update says it deals with iTunes and iBooks, but after installing it my problems began.
I am running the Mavericks (all updates installed) on an Mac mini (late 2013 edition), 16GB RAM.
Any suggestions?

Please disregard my question. The issue disappeared after a cold boot. Thanks.

Why does Safari not automatically open in full screen mode?

In Yosemite, if I'm in full screen mode, then I close my browser (completely quitting, not just closing the window), then re-open Safari, I am not in full screen mode. The browser corners are pulled to the maximum screen size but I am not in full screen mode.
Does anyone know a solution to this? Is this a bug or a "feature?"
Thanks,
Mason

I have never used Span before, but inspired by your post, I tried it.
My results are the same as yours in non-fullscreen mode, but different in full screen mode.
When I press "F", image 2 appears on monitor A (as you said), but briefly I see image 1 on monitor C, then it blacks out. Pressing "F" again reveals the two images in their original positions.
If I select a block of images, but not all the columns of images on monitor B, the images are somewhat randomly assigned to A and C. When I press F, the images on C move to A, and C blanks out to black.
Now I know why I have never used Span I think!
What is the purpose of this thing?!

Is that so? So you don't use ANY of the other features of the iPhone? You don't use the internet, apps, play games, make calls, take pictures, or ANYTHING else at all? You just wanted full-screen contact image?
I don't believe you...

Change default full-screen view

Hi All,
In Aperture 3, the default full-screen view is not to see the "viewer" view, but rather the "browser" view.
Is there a way to change this default? When I change to full-screen mode, it's generally to see the largest view of a picture, which is now a 2-step process.
thanks,
nathan

Ernie,
Most of the time when I'm looking to use full screen mode, I'm in the Browser view. It makes sense now that you've detailed what happens -- Browser mode in non-full-screen opens the browser mode in full-screen. That's the key. I hadn't tried to do what you described - full screen mode from the viewer view.
It sounds like I'll have to adjust my workflow. I like working in browser mode and then going to full screen single-photo. However, it doesn't sound like it's the way the new full-screen mode works. The good thing is that the size of the thumbnails is maintained separately for non-full-screen versus full-screen. I can make the full-screen browser have larger thumbnails than my regular browser.
thanks,
nahan

Use any of the following:
*the F11 key toggles Full Screen Mode on and off
*ATL+V+F toggles Full Screen Mode on and off
*move your cursor to the top of your monitor screen, toolbars will slide down, right click in the empty space at the end of the Tab Bar, then choose "Exit Full Screen Mode"

Why has my iPad safari changed to full screen

I'm not exactly sure when is happened but it must have been today as I would have noticed it before. I've had my iPad 3 for about 6 months and the entire time I've had it at the top of the screen there is always a black bar with the signal strength, the time and the battery life on it whether you're on the home screen, an app, safari or settings. Just now I've noticed that the bar remains in its place on everything else but when I enter safari the bar disappears and he entire screen is just taken up by the browser. I have no idea how or why this happened or what button I must have accidentally pressed to do that but I'm assuming the iPad didn't do that itself so is there a way to get the bar back?

Safari for iPad deosn't have a user initiated full screen view. Could have been kicked off bya specific web site, I suppose.
Open the Settings app > Safari > Clear History and then Clear Cookies adn Data.

Safari won't open in full screen

I had to erase my hard drive and reinstall OSX 10.8.2 on my MBA. Now after I quit Safari in Full Screen on my MBA it won't open again in full screen as it did before I erased and reinstalled OSX. My Mac Mini has always reopened Safari in Full Screen after I close it in Full Screen. All Safari preferences on my Mac Mini and MBA are the same.
Can someone offer a suggestion on how to automatically open Safari in Full Screen?
Thanks!

Mountain Lion is set up to close windows when you quit a program instead of saving them. To change this, put Safari in full-screen mode, move the cursor to the top, open Safari menu while holding Option key and close Safari from the menu.
If you want to do it automatically with all programmes, open System Preferences > General, and deactivate "Close windows when quitting an application"

Safari - Making Webpages Text Appear Full Screen

Made this posting in a different link - thought I would re-post as new thread...
Hello, new to this forum. I am having difficulties with my safari window settings. I own an ibook G4 14" and I recall when I first set it up that certain webpages would not display in the full window of safari after I draged the bottom triangle to full screen. Eventually I was able to get all sites to work full screen (ie. the text spreads across the whole screen - left to right) but I can't recall how.
Now I just purchased a 15" MacBook Pro (having sleep problems and hissing, but that is another story) and now I can't get the sites to work. For example www.soccernet.com only displays on the left side of my screen (whole right side is blank) - on my ibook it is full screen.
Can someone advise as to how this can be changed.
Many thanks

Thanks for all of the replies. Is there a way to
override the fixed width of some sites? It seems a
waste of my screen size if I can only view a portion
of the screen.
You are not seeing only part of the screen, the screen you are viewing it on it just bigger.
Imagine you have a webpage that is 800 pixels wide. You then view it on two monitors; one that is 800 pixels wide, and another that is 1600 pixels wide. On the 800 pixel monitor, the webpage will take up the whole width of the screen, but on the 1600 pixel monitor, it will only take up half the width of the screen.
The only way around it would be to lower the resolution of your display (System Preferences > Display), but I wouldn't recommended it as you will be losing a lot of display space.

How to maximize safari internet content to fit full screen?

I just 've bought Macbook Pro 17" yesterday and I have a problem about Safari.
After I opened it to full screen but the content of internet did not fit the full screen.
I had to zoom in content to maximize it to fit screen but it's inconvenient.
After opened new window, it was still same.
Thank you.

You have to strech the window out first, then it doesn't aways rememebr it.
Safari has a zoom page feature, hold the command shift and plus (or minus) key.
Problem is you have to do it for every single site, quit Safari and you have to do all again.
Firefox has NoSquint add-on, which you can set a default minimal zoom level for all sites, and/or tweak each page and then IT REMEMBERS IT.
If you got the high res model, you may also want to look into Theme Font & Size Changer for Firefox, it allows the type of Firefox itself (in the toolbar area) to be increased so it's not so tiny.
This is another problem with Apple, not making their UI slightly scaleable and keeing the sharpness.
But that's life.

7.4 changed my full screen view of videos

I updated to iTunes 7.4 this morning after realizing most of the new features are useless to me who has no iPod or iPhone, but I did see mention of full screen support (and couldn't remember if that was new or not.)
I played a couple of videos going from command-0 to command-3 and then command-F and back again, getting inconsistent results (ending up with command-F giving me a small video view in an entirely black background.
Not only that, the thumbnail for one of my videos, changed from its former image to a solid green screen, (although the video still plays when clicked on.)
I went back to my daughter's PC with iTunes 7.3.2.6 and noted that I have complete control of the same videos from the command-0 setting all the way to command-F (full screen view) and back and forth without weirdness.
Anyone else note similar quirks with 7.4 full screen support?

Well, I have solved part of my problem - in Preferences>Playback, I changed "Play movies and TV shows" and "Play music videos" to "in a separate window" and the sizing issue seems to have settled down. Command-F seems to have a toggle action.
Choosing Command-0, command-1, command-2, command-3 steps up from smallest size to "fit to screen" size and then command-F takes you to full screen mode. but hitting command-F again then takes you back to "double size (command-2) although the menu shows View>Fit to screen command-3 as selected. Weird.
Choosing one of the other selections, say double size (command-2) repeatedly just sets that size on the first attempt and then on later repeats of command-2 it just flashed the "View" menu item without toggling to another size (and continues to display View>Double size command-2 as it should.
So the remaining question I guess is how to get my thumbnail view back from the green screen. How is that image selected anyway? It doesn't appear to be the first frame of the video necessarily.
And here I am back later editing this after reading the iTunes Help stuff. I fixed this by control-clicking on the frame I liked and then selecting "Set Poster Frame" from the dropdown.
So overall, not much to complain about other than the weirdness with video sizing and command-F

Screen Changes With Full Screen Playback Over HDMI

Any one know if this is the best way to report a flash issue to the development team?
Home Theater PC connected to a Sony Bravia Television via HDMI
Issue is that when the Flash content is played back on full screen, the Television flickers and displays a 'scene changed' anytime the mouse cursor appears or disappears. Happens in IE, Firefox, and Chrome. This problem began with the latest version of Flash player.

I have been trying to get this to work too.
Seems an obvious void with many of us trying to have both audio and video in a playlist!
Apple, please make it so visualizer plays while a song is playing but a video will play full screen if it's a music video! Please?

Why is bottom 1/3 of Firefox open tab screen "blocked" while composing long email in Hotmail, unless I reload the webpage or change to Full Screen mode?

As a Hotmail email that is being composed gets longer and longer, the text suddenly disappears (behind what acts like a pop-up that is blocking the lower 1/3 of my compose window). Experimenting on 3 July I discovered that "Reloading" the compose screen overcame this problem. Also selecting "Full Screen".
(IE does NOT have this problem.) By "Compose" I mean composing a new message, replying or forwarding an existing message (with my comments being added before). The full message (that was saved as DRAFT or previously sent) can be seen, but just going into a "compose" mode causes the bottom of the message to "disappear". The right-hand scroll bar also disappears behind the - you can see whereas

Sorry "dmcritchie", I do not understand your solution, especially
" Gear(tools) > Options > more Options> Reading Pane options >"
since this does not match the Tools > Options under the Firefox window.
(Tools > Options shows a "Gear" symbol labeled "Advanced"; I'm running XP on a Dell Inspiron).
I don't ever remember configuring a "Quick Viewing" window (I prefer to open each message manually or delete it unopened), or configuring Read Panes - unless if was a default setting in Firefox 5. (Come to think of it, Firefox 5 became available early last month and that's about when I started noticing this issue. Luckily I don't recall it happening with Yahoo email accounts which I use more frequently, or even gmail ones.)
Thanks for the tip: "..to view a message without it activating anything bad, right click on the message or envelope and choose "View message source" .." - This right-click option is new to me - and I can see not only the sender but also the content. (Is it totally safe, since one can see the content without physically opening it?)

How do I hide the menu bar on Safari when watching videos on full screen mode?

Hey guys,
I have a mid 2010 macbook pro (Snow Leopard OS X 10.6.8) which I have recently restored from time machine after installing a new hard drive.
However, now when I watch flash videos on putlocker or hulu etc the menu bar on safari on the top left of the screen and the icons on the top right (airport, battery, date/time etc) does not disappear as it used to.
When I am on youtube I have a similar problem but this time the video only occupies the window so tabs (and everything above) in safari and my dock still appear. I know this may be a youtube related query, but if anyone knows how to change this I would appreciate any guidance.
This is my first post so sorry if this in the wrong forum (feel free to move it) or if my description is unclear, I can provide further information if needed.
Many thanks!
Tom

You're welcome and only on my first cup of coffee
