Safari's full screen option not showing in Lion

I just installed Lion on my desktop iMac, every other app shows the ability to go full screen in the upper right corner except for Safari. On my MacBook Pro everything looks fine, but not on my desktop mac.
I also am noticing a dark gray region at the top of the window, which doesn't appear on my laptop.
Any ideas?

The Mac has never needed "Full Screen". It has done multiple screen Extended Desktop since 1987.
Full screen is an iPhone feature, carried into this verion with the mult-touch gestures and other so-called "unifying" features.

I am not sure what's happening with IE9 (no live site) but I had real problems viewing your code in Live View - until I removed the HTML comment marked below. Basically your site was viewable in Design View but as soon a I hit Live view, it disappeared - much like IE9. See if removing the comment solves your issue.

Youtube full screen option not working any more

Until a few days ago, I was able to view YouTube videos using the full screen option. Now, all of a sudden, this doesn't work. When I click on the full screen icon, the video remains playing in the small format. I haven't changed anything on my computer (an iMac running OSX 10.6.8). This is on Safari. Is there anything I can do on my end, or is the problem on YouTube's side?
Thanks!

A Solution: I was having the same problem on BOTH my imac running Snow Leopard and MBAir running Lion, up until now...try this; worked for me:
(1) Download latest version of adobe Flash.
(2) Reset Safari (as in, click on Safari tab up top, then click Reset Safari).
Hope it helps.

With the new safari update (7.0.3), the full screen option has stopped working...please help.

I updated Safari and now the full screen option will not work. It's one of my favorite features. I have tried going to View -> Enter Full Screen and that doesn't work.

Reset Safari.
Click Safari in the menu bar.
From the drop down select "Reset Safari".
Click "Reset".
Empty Caches
Safari > Preference > Advanced
Checkmark the box for "Show Develop menu in menu bar".
Develop menu will appear in the Safari menu bar.
Click Develop and select "Empty Caches" from the dropdown.
Turn off Extensions if any, and launch Safari.
Safari > Preferences > Extensions

I clicked on full screen option and know I can not find the options tab to go back to regulator screen

I clicked on full screen option and know I can not find the options tab to go back to the regulator screen

The F11 key will toggle full screen mode.

IPhoto: I clicked Enter Full Screen by mistake, now I can't get out of it. The button in View to exit full screen does not work. I cannot see any other way to exit full screen. In full screen, I cannot see my events, nor can I do any quick fixes.

I accidentally got into Full Screen mode in iPhoto, and can't figure out how to get out of it. The last item in View is unresponsive (Exit full Screen). I've looked online but can't find any way to get out of iPhoto full screen--no arrows show on top right or bottom right. I cannot find 'events' or crop photos, the only option I have is to scroll through a certain number of photos that I don't want to see. Please, I just want to get out of Full screen mode. Please help. Thanks.

Give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

New gesture trackpad options not showing up in Lion

Why would the new trackpad options not show up after upgrading to Lion and downloading all of the updates? It's not as easy to get between full screen apps without the ability to swipe.

2008. That's probably why. I didn't realize that it only supported a couple years back. You'd think they could fix something like that in the software...

TS3276 the images (attachments) are automatically resized (smaller) when I send them to a customer. My email screen does not show a drop down menu box where you can leave as actual size. Is there a setting elsewhere that can be set.

Any suggestions on problem I have. I receive images, say a file that is 3 mgs through email on Safari mail and when I try to resend it or forward it or any other larger file, when it sends the file is reduced by about 1/3. My screen does not show and drop down menu with a feature to keep actual size or reduce that is suggested when I looked up solutions to the problem. I can't find a setting anywhere in mail that I can change to make sure my files are kept at actual size. I figure a setting got changed -don't know how - but it happened about a month ago. Caused problems as I work in graphics can't send files to clients as they come out too small. Any suggestions on how to fix.
Thanks

What email program are you using? And what do you mean by "Safari mail"?

is activated.
How can get it done?
Thank you.

Safari in Full Screen

Hi,
I have been using Mac OS X Lion for some time now, and I have noticed that when I use Safari in full screen mode and quit, the next time I launch Safari, it does not launch in full screen again. I have read about apps launching in full screen mode when you quit them in full screen, and all other apps on my Mac do so, but Safari.
Is there anything I can do to solve this?
Thanks!

How disable the full screen option in the standard or wireframe video player ?

I was wondering if (and how) it's possible to just disable the full screen option in the controls that appear below the video player (standard or wireframe).
I want to have a video player with the progression bar, play / pause options, the counter without the full screen option because: "When someone clicks the Full Screen button during playback, the video opens in a pop-up window. Any interaction used to transition to a new state in the application does not work."

Thanks for your help.

I don't think so from within Flash Catalyst. That is all part of the component. I took a quick look at the docs, and did not see that element at as a parameter. There are only two options I can think of: either build a custom controller in Flash Catalyst (which may not have all the same functionality as the stock controller) or take your project into Flash Builder and modify the controller skin there.

When i select the "Full Screen" option in video streams (like youtube, veoh, anything like that) i can do that one(1) time second(2nd) time the screen goes blank and can only exit it with the escape(Esc) button and then i have to restart firefox and again i have my one "Full-screen Ticket"

I have had a similar problem with my system. I just recently (within a week of this post) built a brand new desktop. I installed Windows 7 64-bit Home and had a clean install, no problems. Using IE downloaded an anti-virus program, and then, because it was the latest version, downloaded and installed Firefox 4.0. As I began to search the internet for other programs to install after about maybe 10-15 minutes my computer crashes. Blank screen (yet monitor was still receiving a signal from computer) and completely frozen (couldn't even change the caps and num lock on keyboard). I thought I perhaps forgot to reboot after an update so I did a manual reboot and it started up fine.
When ever I got on the internet (still using firefox) it would crash after anywhere between 5-15 minutes. Since I've had good experience with FF in the past I thought it must be either the drivers or a hardware problem. So in-between crashes I updated all the drivers. Still had the same problem. Took the computer to a friend who knows more about computers than I do, made sure all the drivers were updated, same problem. We thought that it might be a hardware problem (bad video card, chipset, overheating issues, etc.), but after my friend played around with my computer for a day he found that when he didn't start FF at all it worked fine, even after watching a movie, or going through a playlist on Youtube.
At the time of this posting I'm going to try to uninstall FF 4.0 and download and install FF 3.6.16 which is currently on my laptop and works like a dream. Hopefully that will do the trick, because I love using FF and would hate to have to switch to another browser. Hopefully Mozilla will work out the kinks with FF 4 so I can continue to use it.
I apologize for the lengthy post. Any feedback would be appreciated, but is not necessary. I will try and post back after I try FF 3.16.6.

Full screen option minimizes the window?

When I click the full screen option in the firefox dropdown menu or use the toolbar icon the page minimizes to my taskbar immediately and becomes non functional. It freezes there until I close/re-open the browser. I'm using a firefox theme (Orange Fox 4.0.29.03.11) . I'm brand spankin new to the firefox browser so it may be something I'm not doing correctly. I thought maybe this theme may not be compatible or buggy to this version of firefox. Any help much appreciated. Thanks.

The question is whether the iPad screen is built to US Quarto (used by 5% of the planet) or to the International standard A4.
The proportions seem to suggest that the design is USA only.

New MBPr when viewing safari in full screen mode it keeps switching to the desk top screen like I initiated a gesture

Everytime I am using safari in full screen mode my MBPr always switches back to desk top view within a matter of seconds. I can be typing a website or entering data in to a form and it still switches back. This has become very annoying. I have reinstalled the software, restored from time machinw, and even reset safri but it will not stop

Delete the localstore.rdf file at the following location:
C:\Users\'''USERNAME'''\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\'''PROFILE NAME'''
I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.
