Unable to set safari in full-screen mode

Hi folks,
I just factory reset my 15-inch MBP running 10.9.3. After doing so, I notice that I am unable to set Safari in full-screen mode. Any ideas??

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a Fusion Drive or a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

  • 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:

    I did this and it fixed it for several days, but it broke again eventually.

  • Unable to view project in full screen mode.

    I'm working on three different imovie projects, and they are all in my project library. For two of the three projects I have no problems viewing them on the full screen mode, but the one that I'm currently working on won't play full screen when selected, it plays a different project. I called Icare support, and they said the problem wasn't in the program, but rather in the project. They suggested that I post my question here on the Apple Message Board to see if they are any suggestions, otherwise, I'll have to rebuild the project...I've spent two weeks working on it...ouch!

    Think of Full Screen Mode like a browser that let's you watch a movie. If you stop before it ends, it remembers your place and lets you take up where you left off the next time you come back.
    Move your cursor down toward the bottom middle of the full screen view. You will see a cover flow view, and you can select the project you want to view.

    I'm able to get the created conversation and the AVModality to share my camera, but i don't know what kind of notification i'm supposed to get or handler should i subscribe in order to set the conversation in full screen when someone shares their camera.
    Right now i'm subscribed to this event handlers:
    AVModality.StreamStateChanged += AV_StreamStateChanged;
    AVModality.ModalityStateChanged += AVModality_ModalityStateChanged;
    VideoChannel.StateChanged += VideoChannel_StateChanged;

    nope, sorry, I collected my "knowledge" over the years… I'm no technician, just a user, so my know-how is max. 35%… a good place to start is wiki, for sure… use the mentioned keywords above for a start - video, container, mov, avi, mpeg, divx…
    I'm pretty sure, you get lost...
    just to frighten you: have a look here, a small overview of some video-codecs…
    or, to frighten you more: honorable forum member F Shippey published this website…
    another problem:
    you remember Betamax vs VHS? that fight wasn't "best vs. better", but sheer marketing power… h264 is an excellent codec/compressor, we Euroepans have choosen for HiDefTV (in the future), but little supported in the PC world... because we "Maccies" have invented it...
    or, mentioning PCs:
    .wmv/Windows Media Video (besides... isn't Video a media??) comes in ... how many? ... 5? 9? 11? flavors... and for sure: not compatible within!
    the good point: Mac supports most-used codecs; and you can encode in the most-used codecs…
    last word: quality - never forget: video compression isn't techniqué, it's an art!
    ..... woosh, and gone......

  • How to get Safari to save my cropping in full screen mode?

    Hello,
    In Lion, you can put Safari in Full Screen mode and crop the edges. You can set differents crops for different tabs within Safari, but when you restart safari the crops are reset. How can you save the crops for the tabs?
    Thanks

    Works fine for me.
    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
    *Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe mode start window or otherwise make changes.

  • Menu Bar items invisible in Safari full screen mode

    I have a brand new MacBook Pro 13" Retina, mid-2014 (the MGX72). When I use Safari in full screen mode, then move the cursor to the very top of the screen, which is supposed to bring back the Menu bar, a blank space representing the Menu Bar appears, and if I move the cursor to any place on that blank space and click, I see the items/options associated with Menu Bar items. So it's like the Menu Bar items are there, but they're invisible. This has to be a glitch of some type. My MacBook Air doesn't do this; the Menu Bar items appear normally, as they should. Is there a fix for this? All the usual suspects for bringing Safari out of full screen mode work fine, but that's not the idea. The Menu Bar items are supposed to become visible and they do not.

    No, dont return it, its a glitch in Safari, and VERY annoying. I first would have to Force Quit Safari, but later learned to keep hovering the mouse in the upper right corner, even tho nothing, yeah nothing,,,,is visible.
    Keep the mouse there, and after a bit, you will see the little arrows pointing in, hit them.
    But to keep this from happening again, Im not sure.
    So anybody with further info, please post it here.

  • Unable to view movies in full screen

    I am unable to watch movies in full screen mode. When I try and select it, I am simply taken back to the itunes window, but the movie audio continues. I can watch the movie at any other size. What's going on?

    There are several possible causes for the Black Screen issue
    1. Permissions in the Library: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild. Include the option to check and repair permissions.
    2. Minor Database corruption: Back Up and try rebuild the library: hold down the command and option (or alt) keys while launching iPhoto. Use the resulting dialogue to rebuild.
    3. A Damaged Photo: Select one of the affected photos in the iPhoto Window and right click on it. From the resulting menu select 'Show File (or 'Show Original File' if that's available). (On iPhoto 11 this option is under the File -> Reveal in Finder.) Will the file open in Preview? If not then the file is damaged. Time to restore from your back up.
    4. A corrupted iPhoto Cache: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto folder from HD/Users/Your Name/Library/ Caches...
    5. A corrupted preference file: Trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder. (Remember you'll need to reset your User options afterwards. These include minor settings like the window colour and so on. Note: If you've moved your library you'll need to point iPhoto at it again.)
    If none of these help:
    As a Test:
    Hold down the option (or alt) key key and launch iPhoto. From the resulting menu select 'Create Library'
    Import a few pics into this new, blank library. Is the Problem repeated there?

  • 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!

  • BUG? inspector in full screen mode

    i'm unable to open inspector in full screen mode...
    anyone has this problem?

    Hi stokky. Welcome to the user-to-user Aperture forum.
    Use "h" to toggle the Inspector HUD.
    The Inspector HUD duplicates the regular Inspector, but as an HUD instead of as a pane in the program window.
    To become conversant with all of the features of Aperture 3, read +at least+ the first seven chapters of the very useful [Users Manual|http://documentation.apple.com/en/aperture/usermanual>. Full Screen view is covered in Chapter 8. HUDs are covered in Chapter 3, Section 16.

  • Lightroom bugs: full screen mode and import

    I'm considering buying Lightroom, it's quite impressive for a v1.0. But there are some troubling bugs I've run into on my 2nd or 3rd day of use.
    Platform: Vista Ultimate, Lightroom 1.0, P4 2.8ghz, 1.5 GB mem + 2 GB ReadyBoost.
    - Full screen mode is broken? I switched into full screen mode, and then back into normal mode. But now when I minimize the app and alt tab or click back into it, it's back in full screen mode. So I put it back into normal mode, but it goes back to full screen the next time I return to it. Very annoying. It's not just when I minimize it. If I change window focus *at all*, it sets itself to full screen mode.
    - Import from camera doesn't work. When I attached my Canon 20d and selected Import from 20d, it said "Could not find files" or something. I had to import through Canon EOS Viewer.
    Both of these features are a pretty basic part of workflow, so I'm surprised they're broken.

    There are know issues with Vista which isn't supported yet. Also import has some issues to be resolved.
    The read me has some of this noted.

  • Please help me exit "full screen mode." I am unable to see the Safari menu bar.

    I have never used this tool. Please help me to "exit the full screen mode." I am unable to see the toolbar in Safari.

    THANK YOU FOR RESPONDING. Is there a way to adjust settings in Safari, like my homepage? So far I am not pleased with the IPad. Wish I had looked at other tablets before buying. the main thing I don't like is Safari. I welcome any positive comments. Thanks.
    Safari doesn't include a Home page, but does allow for a multitude of book marks. In addition, there numerous other browsers available in the apps store. Some of them will allow for setting Home page if it is that important to you (personally, I don't miss it).
    The bookmarks bar can be be hidden from the setting app. There is no real tool bar in Safari.
    You might want to take a look through the User Guide and learn a little more about how the iPad works, if you haven't already.

  • Safari unable to view menu bar in full screen mode

    Been using Lion for a while now and everything seems fine, except for some reason when Safar is in full screen mode and I move the mouse up to the toolbar, the file menu and shortcuts bar doesn't appear now. It worked yesterday... now it won't. I quit safari completely, opened it back up and it still wont. Next will be a reboot...

    Thanks, I rebooted and it came good, but if it happens again i'll try that

  • In Full Screen mode Safari only opens new tabs?

    Safari 5.1 has a preference that lets you set whether or not targeted links open into new tabs or new windows.
    In regular screen mode, this preference works as expected.
    In Full Screen mode (Lion), this preference seems to be ignored, and Safari always opens targeted links into new tabs.
    Is there a preference I'm missing to set this behavior for Full Screen mode?
    The reason I ask is that I would love to use the swipe gesture to switch between different web pages I have open, and so far Safari only seems to use gestures in Full Screen mode to switch between windows, not tabs.

    Hi there i tried... I think prey locked my computer..:(
    Infact i know it did because i just got out...after making changes in prey ...**** that is one **** of a program...
    Im across the bay... Its cold tonight. :).

  • When I go into full screen mode in Safari 5.1 on LION it switches to a new Space, making my other displays useless. Anyone else annoyed that Apple has completely left out those with multiple displays?

    I had a fear that this was going to be the case, but you can't have two full screen apps open in two different displays. At least that's how Safari fullscreen works. When switching over to full screen mode in safari, it automatically creats a new space, turns on four finger gesture to swipe through full screen apps which I had turned off in place of App Switcher.
    I don't use spaces because of the lack of support for using spaces with multiple displays. I would use spaces and mission control if I had control of each display's mission control separately.
    The fix would be to unlink the displays so they can scroll through full screen apps by themselves. I want this feature so I can mix and match the full screen apps on my three different displays. I see this beneficial for more people with multiple displays. in the future when thunderbolt display links, people will want better support too.
    I know I would use spaces and mission control more if I could have this ability. I'd be interested to know people's opinion.

    No no, if you read what I said, it would be that each individual display would be customizable to the user. The way you have it, it sounds like your second display will be dedicated to scrolling through fullscreen apps not allowing you to do it on the home screen. This is silly because with my concept, you could do that, by dragging apps to fullscreen in your second display, but if you want you could tell another display to scroll through fullscreen apps (independently) if you wanted. Each display will have it's own mission control with it's own set of desktops. I also can see how some people would still want them linked together, so this could just be a little check box made in mission control prefs to "link" or "unlink" desktops with link checked by default.
    With your solution you're limited to your setup. but what if the person has three or four displays? Well then your solution would limit them to one dedicated display that scrolls through fullscreen apps where mine lets a person customize their desktops depending on their preference and setup.
    further example: if you have safari, address book and mail in one display, you could still have ichat, PS and Illustrator in your second, and a text editor, FTP Client and iTunes in your third. Then you would mix and match these apps but it would promote the use of mulitple displays as well as benefit people with three or more, which thunderbolt, Cinema Display and Pro computers support.
