Safari window-size is changing

Hi there!
I've got the problem, that my Safari window is getting thinner, if I close it down and open it later on. But this is only happening sometimes. Don't know what this should be...
This is from the begin on; since I bought my Mac.
Thanks in advance!
Mac Mini (Mid '11, 256MB GDDR5 Model)
OS X Lion (10.7.2) (11C74)
Safari 5.1.2 (7534.52.7)

Unfortunately there is no Folder called "com.apple.Safari" in /Library/Caches/ ... :-/
If you look at my prior post again I typed:   ~/Library
~ (Tilde) character represents the Home folder.
For Lion:   To find the Home folder in OS X Lion, open the Finder, hold the Option key, and choose Go > Library
There are two libraries. One is root /Library the other your home folder ~/Library
Try this... open the Finder. From the menu bar at the top of your screen click Go > Go to Folder
Type this in exactly as you see it here:   ~/Libary/Cache/com.apple.Safari
Then click Go.
The Cache.db file is in the com.apple.Safari folder.

Any way to lock Safari window size?

Hi people,
As the topic saids, how do I lock the Safari window size (if there is a way to) as sometimes there are internet sites which automatically resize the window either to cover the whole desktop or to shink it to a little box, its really annoying.
Incase you guys are thinking some sorta adult sites, here's an example url: http://footlocker.eu/nikezoom/

Hi Dimaxum,
The thing is, that site automatically expands to full screen, which I DO NOT want it to. I was wondering if there's some settings that allows me to "over-ride" those website settings and keep my normal Safari window size.

How To reset Safari window size back to original factory setting?

How To reset Safari window size back to original factory setting?
I resize my pages often but I don't want to always keep them at random sizes. I want to know the proper method to reset the webpage size back to it default size. Right now it's too wide, and I click the green plus button in the upper left corner and it goes down to a very small size, I click the green plus again and it returns to the Too Wide size. I just can't seem to get it to go back to the default size.
Thanks for your help!

You could try this. Set the safatri page to your convenience by dragging the bottom right hand corner of the page. Quit safari, then immediately relaunch. It should start up the same size as it was before you quit. Then ...
Go to Safari > preferences and set the page as your home page.

Window size always changes after restart in 10.9.2. How can I fix it- as in older OS-Versions?

Hi,
I'm using OSX for a long time. Now I bought a new MBA 10' with Mavericks 10.9.2. I'm really tired about ever changing window sizes after restarting my MBA, espacialy the sidebar is skipping to a wider size, then the window, I used before turning the mac of. No window opens, in exact that size I used before. Of course, I used to fix it, but never menaged to do so.
Have you any idea to solve my problem?

Do you uncheck the "Reopen windows when logging back in?" box? If so, does the issue occur when you leave the box checked?
That might be the culprit.
I hope I solved your question.

Mail Window Size Keeps Changing

I've had this erratic bug ever since upgrading to snow leopard:
I generally keep mail open, and just have the window closed, and let DockStar do some work in terms of notifications.
Problem is that my window size keeps on changing. When I click on the mail icon to open it up (I always resize to full screen), the mail program opens up in a very small window, probably about 500x600. Sometimes it opens in full screen as I want, other times it opens to this minimized view.
It is very hard to exactly reproduce, but happens probably 1/4 to 1/5 of the time at least.
The problem with this is that it also resizes the left panel so EVERY TIME I open it up, I have to resize both the window and the left bar panel.
I found a complaint that sounded similar that had the user remove the preference file, then recreate it, but this hasn't solved the problem.
Anyone else have this problem? Anyone know how to fix it?!?!

Here's something I've noticed:
1. When I uninstalled Dockstar, all problems went away. There's definitely something going on here.
2. When I reinstalled Dockstar, I am now only having problems with Mail remembering that one of my mailboxes is set to "organize by thread." (I had this problem before in addition to the window resizing). However, the window resizing problem seems to be gone (for today, at least).
Here's what's different:
1. I installed GrowlMail after they updated to a 64bit preference pane. (Not sure how this would impact it, but who knows...)
2. Last time, I just installed the newest copy of Dockstar over the old one. This time, I uninstalled the old one and reinstalled Dockstar cleanly.
Do you feel like verifying if this is true for you too?

Cover flow window size keeps changing

As you can see to the images below, iTunes suddenly started to changing my cover flow size every time I restart it.

Before 2-3 days I never had this issue. How can I make my cover flow sixe remain the same every time I open iTunes?

Safari Window Size

Hey guys,
Everytime I hit the green plus in safari, the window moves tothe bottom of the screen under the dock with only part of it is visible. Ihave to then move up and maximize. It happens everytime I quit safari. I don'thave this problem with any other software.
Any suggestions please?
Thanks

Already did that, but when I quit and open safari again, same thing happens.

I want to restore default window size of iTunes.

I'm quite obssessed with keeping default settings. So I never change size of window and of course keep using iTunes without changing its size of window.
But today, the window size suddenly changed of itself - too small.
I want to restore the size to what it used to be. (I'm not asking how to change the size)
I tried deleting iTunes Library.itl, which works when it comes to the size, but is not desirable because I lost other data - such as Play list and play count etc.
Are there any ways to restore the default window size of iTunes without deleting iTunes Library.itl?

Did you ever figure this out? If so, please let me in on the secret!

How do you set a default screen size for safari windows to open at ?

Hi guys, I'm running my mac mini through a 50 inch plasma. I really like that safari opens the browser at a size that's just big enough to fit the page you are viewing to; but annoyingly my flatmate keeps changing the window size to full screen. I don't like this and have tried to play around with the settings so that it opesn in a default size every time but have been unable to do so.
If anyone has any suggestions it'd be greatly apreciated as this seemingly stupid problem is realllllly annoying me.
Cheers,
AJ

Evict your flatmate.

Safari always loads small window size have to always increase size pressAA several times. How can I have it bigger by default ?

Safari always loads small window size It leaves a wide margin on both side of the window. I have to always increase size press AA several times. How can I have it bigger by default ?
Changing the font size does not work. Many Thanks

Hi Bee
This is not what I mean. I'm not a new user of computers. Even when the window fills the screen. There are wide boarders either side, have to press the AA serveral times to increase web page (in the tool bar top left) so that the web page fits the window.

Size and position of Safari windows

I don't think anyone's noticed the problem discussed at the end of a thread, outlined here:
K H N Lim, "Enlarge Window Size" #3, 01:44pm Jul 28, 2005 CDT
It's a problem a lot of people (okay, four of us) are having. Quick summary:
"I launch Safari, resize the window and position it at the upper lefthand corner. Quit Safari and relaunch. Initially the window stays put, but after a while, the position shifts. And keeps shifting more and more toward the right of the screen with each subsequent launch."
I've had the same problem and it makes it hard to switch from one app to another, with Safari shifting all over the screen and refusing to remember how it was positioned from launch to launch. Any ideas what's up?

I used to be bugged by this too. Then I saw a message from someone who suggested the following applescript (with changes to coords to match your screen size and position you want). Mine is set for 1600 x 1024 resolution on my 22" cinema display. The coords are for top left corner and bottom right corner of the Safari window.
Make a new bookmark, i.e. press COMMAND-D
Specify that it should go in the bookmarks bar.
Go to the bookmarks screen in Safari.
Find the bookmark.
Select the name (left side) and edit it to something like Window Position.
Select the URL (right side) and paste in (without the quotes)
"javascript:self.moveTo(190,0);self.resizeTo(1150,995)"
Close the bookmarks window/screen.
Click on "Window Position" in the bookmarks bar and the window will resize to specified size and position.

Window size changed

While I was out today my husband decided to 'play' with my iMac. I came home and the size of the windows in Safari have changed totally. The windows used to go across most of my 22inch screen, but now it's not even half the size.
How can I change the window size again?

In the lower right hand corner of the window you will see 3 diagonal lines. Click on them and resize the window to the size you prefer.

Adobe Reader, MS Office window size changing when switching displays

I have a current generation (mid 2012) MBP with Retina Display running ML 10.8.3. I also have a Dell U2413 monitor, confgured for
1920x1200 resolution, connected via a Thunderbolt to Display Port cable that came with the monitor.
When I switch displays, Adobe reader, Excel, and Powerpoint all have their window sizes change dramatically. Reader
shrinks to just the status bar and is tucked in the very bottom left hand corner (it took me quite some time to even see it
was there at all); Excel windows expand dramatically to be much larger than full screen, and Powerpoint windows shrink
to about 1.5" square. Other windows (Mail, Chrome, Safari, iTunes) change or move slightly but are more or less OK.
I know this problem is expected when switching to an external monitor with dramatically lower resolution (e.g. old In Focus
projectors) but I don't believe it should happen with a hi-res monitor like the one I'm using.
I have compared this behaviour with other users running same SW versions and external monitors with the same
resoultion and they don't see this problem so I'm guessing there's some configuration option or low level setting
that is messed up.
These window size changes happen going both from internal to external and external to internal. Any ideas?

Problem with changing URL within Safari window using AppleScript

hey everyone,
I'm currently trying to write a script that will open Safari, then change the URL within that same Safari window, and then quit Safari. However, I'm currently having a few problems:
1) Sometimes two Safari windows will open. One will go to what I'm guessing is the default homepage, and the other will go to Google.
2) I cannot figure out or find a way to change the URL within that window using AppleScript.
Does anyone have any ideas as to how to go about doing these things? I'm pretty new to AppleScript, so if what code I already have is poorly written, please let me know. Thanks!

Welcome to Apple Discussions!
You don't need to tell the Finder to open Safari - you can address it directly.
This should be self-explanatory, but do ask away if you have any questions.
(If there's only one window open - as per your description - it will take the first URL. Otherwise - if there are zero or many windows open - a new window will be opened for each URL.)

Window sizes settings have somehow changed and my windows do not open in the correct size anymore. How do I get my original window sizes to come back PERMANENTLY?

After upgrading to FF 10.0, my window sizes are not correct. I use a web-based invoicing system and my invoice windows used to open to the size of the invoice. Now, it opens invoices in full screen. I need the invoice windows to open the way the site tells them to open. How do I make that happen again and never change after that?

Safe mode disables the installed '''Extensions''', themes ('''Appearance''') and '''Plugins''' in '''Tools''' ('''Alt''' + '''T''') > '''Add-ons'''. So it could be that an extension is causing it. You can try to isolate it starting with script blockers and similar extensions and '''Disable''' or '''Remove''' it.
Please also note that safe mode also disables hardware acceleration: '''Tools''' > '''Options''' > '''Advanced''' > '''General''': '''Use hardware acceleration when possible'''.
