Sometimes the screen is full-screen or smaller than minimum, same for Thunderbird

Every now and then the window-size is collapsed, and can only be maximized. (Firefox 8.0)
This also happens at Thunderbird 8.0

You could try using Firefox's Safe Mode to reset your toolbars. Not sure whether this is a toolbar problem, but it's probably worth a try.
First, I recommend backing up your Firefox settings in case something goes wrong. See [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Backing+up+your+information Backing up your information]. (You can copy your entire Firefox profile folder somewhere outside of the Mozilla folder.)
Next, check this article on how to start Firefox in
[https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Safe+Mode Safe Mode] and use the dialog to reset toolbars.
Any luck?

In normal view, half the page disappears off right of screen. in full screen this does not happen. what can be done to correct the screen ratio for normal screen?

version 5 loaded on windows 7. all went well for a while. one day while using, ratio of normal screen doubled in width; i.e. half the page disappears off the screen to the right (on a wide screen). when full screen mode applied, ratio is fine. it only happens in normal view, which is the usually prefered option. I cannot determine any means within the program to resize the normal screen. nothing else is affected, only mozilla firefox in normal view. not that when program is opened from keyboard the page is correct for a moment, then enlarges the width with 1/2 page dissappearing.

This issue can be caused by the Babylon Toolbar 1.1.8 extension

I have a new Macbook Pro. When watching Youtube videos, it works perfectly until I attempt to watch the video in full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues. When minimized it works fine as before. Help?

I have a brand new Macbook model A1502. I am taking online college classes that incorporate youtube tutorial videos. I can watch the videos if I don't maximize the screen to full screen. When in full screen, the video freezes immediately and the audio continues uninterrupted. I can press escape and go back to the previous screen and the video continues to play with no problems. Can anyone help me please? This machine is literally just out of the box with maybe an hour of use. Thanks in advance

First, back up all data immediately, as your boot drive might be failing.
There are a few other possible causes of generalized slow performance that you can rule out easily.
Reset the System Management Controller.
If you have many image or video files on the Desktop with preview icons, move them to another folder.
If applicable, uncheck all boxes in the iCloud preference pane.
Disconnect all non-essential wired peripherals and remove aftermarket expansion cards, if any.
Check your keychains in Keychain Access for excessively duplicated items.
If you have more than one user account, you must be logged in as an administrator to carry out this step.
Launch the Console application in the same way you launched Activity Monitor. Make sure the title of the Console window is All Messages. If it isn't, select All Messages from the SYSTEM LOG QUERIES menu on the left. If you don't see that menu, select
View ▹ Show Log List
from the menu bar.
Select the 50 or so most recent entries in the log. Copy them to the Clipboard (command-C). Paste into a reply to this message (command-V). You're looking for entries at the end of the log, not at the beginning.
When posting a log extract, be selective. Don't post more than is requested.
Please do not indiscriminately dump thousands of lines from the log into this discussion.
Important: Some personal information, such as your name, may appear in the log. Anonymize before posting. That should be easy to do if your extract is not too long.

Why is there a grey block on the bottom of my screen in safari and i cant see the top of my screen in full screen mode?

When I put the window into full screen mode a gray block appears across the bottom of the screen. Thus the top of any given web page is truncated upward and I cannot access anything...But if I minimize the view what was once unavailable reappears.
Is there a way to get rid of this gray block?

Provide computer and OS version info and maybe we can help. Phone and iOS stuff tells us nothing useful.

Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?

My mac mini has Elgato 'Eye TV' software that runs in 'Full Screen'. I want to keep this setting & also connect another monitor to the macmini & use other Appilications on the other monitor? Can I run 2 monitor with one of the monitor having Full Screen for Elgato Eye TV?
My early 2009 macmini can run Mac OS 10.5, 10.6, 10.7 & 10.8

Yes, run one from HDMI and the other from Thunderbolt/minidisplayport sockets. In EyeTV Preferences check the screen you want for full screen use and make sure your Dock is on the other one.

Yesterday i bought ipad4 i transfered photos from pc to ipad that it opened in ipad when i click slideshow everything went black. whenever i m opening the application(photos) full screen looking black but all photos are occuping memory.

yesterday i bought ipad4 i transfered photos from pc to ipad that it opened in ipad when i click slideshow everything went black. whenever i m opening the application(photos) full screen looking black but all photos are occuping memory.i can see the pictures in settings>brightness>wallpapers but i couldnt able to see in photos application in ipad4

I have several thousand photos in several folders. I have noticed that whenever I want to change the folder used as the side show source, it takes the Screen Saver Preference pane a very long time to respond. It is as if it is scanning all the photos in the currently assigned folder in order to display them in the preview window provided, and it gets so dogged down doing that it can't respond to my clicks on the Choose Folder option.
Assuming you don't want to redistribute your photos into a greater number of folders or subfolders so there would be fewer in each folder to process, you could try a workaround. Try moving your currently-assigned folder to your desktop temporarily, before opening the Screen Saver preference pane. If the preference pane can't find the old folder, it may immediately ask you to choose a new one. You could hopefully then do so, close the preference pane, and then put back the old folder.
It's my understanding that there will be no future updates to Tiger, only security fixes.

Adobe elements 10 mac when I play up the video in full screen.

Adobe elements 10 mac when I play up the video in full screen. I have
black borders on both sides of the movie how do I correct this problem when playing thevideo?

Along with Steve comments, also see this ARTICLE, for some of the possible reasons - all of which boil down to a mis-match between the Source Footage and the Project Preset.
Good luck,

Hi
I am a keen photographer and I have just bought you SD card reader for ipad. This works well but was winding if there is an app that I can view the images on the SD card full screen without having to import them to the iPad or is there a way to do this on the iPad
The reason for buy this was for when I was out and about to get a better view off my images.
I have a iPad 2 16gb
Hope you can help!
Thanks

A couple of weeks ago, (after reading a review in TUAW) I bought a wireless hub/ SD card reader called RAVPower. its app comes with a built in viewer, so you can load it up, and see the pics full screen.

I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account, but I have to leave the disc in to view the pictures in full screen... Is there a way to import the files to my hard drive?

I've imported an iPhoto library from a disc to my iPhoto 09 account,
What exactly did you do?
Are you running a Managed or a Referenced Library?
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.

Serious problem with the speed of full screen textField animation

I can't find any proper way to make a long textField move
fluently horizontally across the screen in full screen mode. I
tried many ways but it always gets stuck from time to time for a
few milliseconds and ruins the whole experience. Please, if someone
can help me to find a way to best animate a large dynamic string on
full screen, I would be very grateful.
Thank you.
P.S. If there is a better way then using a textField to have
a fluent animation, please tell me and I'll try using a different
object for my string.

From your previous post I understand you use Tween to animate
the thing. Perhaps it is worth either exploring other tweening
engines (Tweener or TweenLite) or writing your custom one.
Before you do that I would give Tween one more shot and see
what and when happens when you use Tween class.
Tween has event TweenEvent.MOTION_CHANGE. You can add a
listener for this event and trace inside it:
trace(getTimer() + " : " + myText.x + " : " +
event.target.position);
This may provide information about how smooth the timing of
movement is and how evenly position is set.
I realize that the issue is in full screen mode and trace is
not possible, so, perhaps, you need another TextField on stage that
will out put this values:
Inside listener:
debugText.appendText(etTimer() + " : " + myText.x + " : " +
event.target.position + "\n");
As for the custom animation, the way to go could be using
Timer class.
First of all, to make sure there is a full understanding of
what happens in terms of frames, the following needs to be kept in
mind (forgive me if I am beating dead horse):
Look at Flash frames not as "physical" entities but as pieces
of code that executes before screen refreshes. So, when you set
frame rate to 20 - Flash JUST schedules every screen refresh every
50 milliseconds. Does it refresh every 50 milliseconds? NOPE! It
refreshes ONLY when ALL the code pertaining to particular frame is
executed. THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT! Frame rate is the directive that
in simple language states: "Refresh screen NOT MORE OFTEN than N
times a second if all the code is executed." So if the the next
refresh is scheduled in 50 milliseconds but code took 100
milliseconds to execute - screen is refreshed in 100 ms. In the
example when frame rate is 20 but every frame code takes 100 ms
your actual frame rate is 10 frames per second.
This discrepancy is usually the reason for jerky animation.
So, there are two solution: 1) create Timer based animation
or 2) create a velocity based animation.
Timer based animation
There is a very nice method of Timer, Mouse and Keyboard
events. The method is updateAfterEvent(). This method forces screen
to refresh/render INDEPENDENT of frame rate. Even if you frame rate
is only 2 fps - you can have 100 screen updates/refreshes per
second effectively making frame rate 100 fps. This makes it much
more reliable. (With all fairness, even Timer deep inside relies on
base frame rate which imposes some limitations on Timer. But for
now let's assume it doesn't).
In this approach you will instantiate a Timer class -->
add timer event listener --> on every iteration move the object
to desired position --> invoke event.updateAfterEvent() inside
the listener. VIOLA! You know that user sees what s(he) has to.
Velocity based animation
This approach relies on Event.RENDER.
Say you still decide to use Tween ENTER_FRAME. So, you will
need to have velocity variable.
Besides other listeners you will need to add say
this.addEventListener(Event.RENDER, render);
function render(event:Event){
// move the thing where is is supposed to be based on
velocity
// perhaps needs additional calculations base on time or
something
So, these are outlines of possible approaches.
Hope it helps.

Separated screens in full screen mode

Hi all,
I use Acrobat to edit and present a PDF slide show on a projector. Now, I've discovered the need to navigate among my slides while the current slide is in full screen mode on the projector. Just like in Powerpoint when you use your laptop monitor to select the images you want to show as thumbnails, while the projector shows the slides in full screen mode. Is there a way to make Acrobat do the same thing?

Anyone?

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.
Regards
TD

Videos take all the screen in Full Screen mode!!!!!

I mean, if you have a flash, and a video on it, which is smaller than the size of the flash, AND if the project is set to be in Full Screen, then, when you publish it and test the .exe, the video will TAKE all the screen area!
I have included some pictures so you can see what I mean.
This is how it SHOULD be in full scree, and how it IS if it's not in full screen:
And this is how it actually IS if I play it on Full Screen:
I know, this is really weird. Try it by your self. Create a flash, insert a video that doesn't take all the screen, add the Full Screen CODE, publish it and execute the .EXE file. The video will fill all the Screen.
HOW CAN I SOLVE IT??????????

videoplayer.fullscreenTakeover = false;

Scrolling - I want my site to be central on screen, so I have pined it, yet if the screen using to view is smaller than mine, it wont scroll? even though it shows scroll bars.

I have designed a wide site so the background fills the screen on all size monitors. However because I have pined it to the top and central it wont scroll on smaller screens. How do I keep the site central when first opened and allow it to scroll vertically?
Link to live site below.
Thanks
Chris

Hi Chris
That is a default behavior where the page content is wider but the resolution or browser window is smaller, then browser will add auto scroll.
I have checked the site with a lower resolution and I can scroll down the page vertically and horizontally , is that you see the issue with any specific resolution or browser ?
Thanks,
Sanjit
