Suddenly a partial window; how do I get back to full window?
Coming out of a web page, Firefox was left with a partial window (on the left). I can read the full window only by scrolling to the right.
I cannot restore the full window. I have tried quitting the application and restarting it (to no avail). I write this on my wife's computer where there is normal function. My computer is the last of the iMacs with a PowerPC processor.
Your help will be appreciated (for sure)!
You can check for problems caused by a corrupted localstore.rdf file.

Yosemite: How do I get back from full-screen to original window size?
Okay, so today I used iPhoto for the first time since I reluctantly upgraded to Yosemite on Friday.
iPhoto is one of the few apps I often take into full-screen mode, and so obviously I noticed today that they've kindly taken away the full-screen arrows in the top right-hand corner of the window in Yosemite.
Posting a question about that in Support revealed the 'new improved' way to go full-screen, which is to click on the green traffic light in the top left-hand corner of the window.
Fair enough, but how do I get my iPhoto window back to the size it was before I went full-screen? I tried clicking the green-button again, but that insists on the window being what I call 'maximised', ie. spread across the entire width of my desktop. I want to snap from full-screen back to the window size I had before going full screen.
The arrows in the top right-hand corner used to do that perfectly well, but they're not there any more so I'm having to resort to laboriously re-sizing my window each time, which is far from ideal.
Anyone able to advise me please?Do we know if it is iPhoto-specific, or do all app windows behave in this way?
Actually, I suppose I could find that out for myself... -
2 browser sessions are open & overlapping. When I select a tab for a browser session I would like the tab that I select to open full screen
Do you mean that one of the pages open in the sidebar at the left and another page in the regular browser window?
Opening in the side bar is the default for bookmarks that are created via a link or button on a website.<br />
You can check the Properties of a bookmark via the right-click context menu in the side bar (Ctrl+B; Cmd+B on Mac).<br />
In the Bookmarks Manager (Bookmarks > Organize Bookmarks) you can click the More button in the Details pane at the bottom right.<br />
Make sure that "Load this bookmark in the side bar" is not selected. -

Have 1-inch black border on each side monitor - how do I get back to full screen?
Have a one-inch black border each side of screen, can't move out to full screen horizontally?
Check that you have selected the correct screen resolution for your Mac in System Preferences>Displays. Depending on OS it's either 'Best for built-in display' or the top one on the list of screen resolutions.

PeggyIf you can access the drive using MacDrive, the path to your user home folder is
<top level>/Users/<your short user name>/
I don't know of any way to access that drive, other than connecting it to another Mac. -

I have Windows 7, Microsoft Outlook and PSE 13. I have used the "Share photos as embedded images" feature frequently, but today when I went to use it, it wasn't there, only the option to send email with files attached. How do I get back the ability to send emails with photos embedded. I like adding the frames and backgrounds and I think it's easier for recipients to look at the photos. Thanks for any suggestions of things to try.
GailI had a similar problem in that my wife's iphone 5 could not send pics with imessage. Had to set the settings to default to SMS or whatever. After laboring many hours on the web I coincidentally was on the phone with the internet people to question my internet speed. They changed the router channel, which is something that I am capable of doing myself. After that, the pics go over imessage. My own Iphone didn't have the problem. We are both latest IOS 7.0.6.

Just installed windows 7 on my macbook (Mac OS X Snow Leopard) using bootcamp. Windows 7 works great, but I can't get back to my Snow Leopard. When I log off or shut down Windows and try to start up again, all I get is Windows. How do I get back to my mac operating system?
If your Mac is off then start up. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the Option key until the Mac and Windows Disks show up. Then click on the Mac disk and the arrow below it. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk.
If you are in Windows then look for the Boot Camp icon on the taskbar. It will look like a gray box sitting on one corner. One of the options when you click it is to restart in Mac OS. After it boots up in Mac then go to System Preferences>Startup Disk and select your Mac partition as the Startup disk. -
I partitioned a small drive for a windows program, and now the computer only wants to boot to Windows. How do I get back to Mac so I can have a choice of drives?
That doesn't sound good. It sounds like the power outage might have corrupted the partition for OS X. I would suggest booting from the Install DVD that came with your Mac while holding down the C key. Once you have selected the language start up Disk Utility from the pull down menu and repair the disk. Once you have done that then repair permissions also.

I accidently closed the window with all my frequently used app tabs, now the only window that opens was an extra one I had opened. How do I get back all my app tabs from the previous window, and why didn't it give me the usual warning you are closing more than one tab? edit
DetailsThen the (App) tabs from that window are lost unless you can restore an older copy of the sessionstore.js file (Time Machine?) that has that lost window.

how do I get back the "File Edit View History Bookmarks Yahoo! Tools Help" line of text that I could click on for options that used to be at the top of the browser window above the taps
I did that (I think I did) however the confusion is that I get only part of the menu and not the most important menu items like "file" "edit" etc. with all the drop downs. It is so freaky - my other computers have no problem like this and I and show the menu bar or not just like you described. I really doubt anyone really understands my problem with it. I took some screen shots of the good computer version and the bad one so someone can "see" exactly what I am seeing. This may be a one of a kind gremlin issue, LOL. Anyway, without those menu items, I am very limited on the usefulness of FireFox on that computer so I have to rely more on Chrome for those features and use the FireFox with Billeo and other tools that still work. Someday it may magically fix itself, LOL.
Of the two images, one is the good computer and the other is the bad. The bad one shows the only way to see the menu items however they disappear after I am done with the custom menu and no other time can I get the items to "appear" it is like they are there but cannot get them to show when in the normal menu bar mode. -

How do I get back the preview window so that I don't have to click open each message? Thanks in advance! --Cheryl
Hi LeoLady!
Having the preview window up to get a quick and good overview of your mail is very handy and I understand you would like to get that feature back!
Have you tried to close the mail app using cmd+q and opening again? Have you tried taking your mouse the whole way to the right in the mail window and try to "drag" the preview window back out again?
