Unable to use show desktop gesture in full screen

Hello,
I save a lot of temporary items to my desktop. I also use full-screen mode for nearly everything and I find it a bit frustrating that I can't just gesture back to the desktop. If I swipe to another desktop, I don't have the same saved items.
Anyone have suggestions for a workaround?

Ahh figured it out. But my hot corner for show desktop still doesn't work when in full screen. Any other suggestions?

HT2490 Show Desktop" gesture query in Mountain Lion

Can I change "Show Desktop" gesture to "swipe down with four fingers" on Mountain Lion?
My muscle memory prefers swiping down when I'm designing and have a lot of programmes open but the Mountain Lion doesn't seem to allow me to edit this particular function. Is there away around this?
Thanks
Lyall

OMG I think this is a major oversight.
It was a major step up from Leopard that the four finger swipe brought up the heads-up screen and Desktop. Now the only way to see all apps open is command-Tab.
Agreed the thumb-three finger, not only awkward does not work 50% of the time, making it much harder to get to the Desktop. This is something you do all the time ! Back to fn-F11 or conveniently control-click missioncontrol icon on the Dock.
MissionControl ? Not so useful if you can not access the open and hidden files, what where they thinking??? three finger, four finger, Dock icon why all those options at the expense of the most useful in a day today day work machine.
Hopefully they can modify the TrackPad preferences in a future update to bring these most functional gestures back!

Aperture 2 only showing previews/thumbs (no full screen/no "Viewer Only")

Not sure what's going on, bu Aperture (46k pics on a MBP 3.06) suddenly stopped showing pictures in Viewer/full Screen modes a day ago.
It shows me all the thumbs in Browser mode, but the bigger version of the picture that should be seen in the Viewer Only and Browser and Viewer stays empty the entire time. I see all the meta data in the Viewer window (ISO, version name etc,...) but no big picture. As you might expect, pictures all appear to be present, but, what's going on??

I'm having a similar issue as well! Currently the main viewer has stopped showing images. Full screen seems to be working for the time being, but now I can't use the books feature as I can't see the main viewer!

[Solved]Kwin doesn't restore Suspend desktop effects for full screen

Hi! I am using latest Kwin with Plasma 5 on my Arch and I have noticed that I have to check "Suspend desktop effects for full screen windows" in Desktop Effects>Advanced every time I log in.
What's wrong with Kwin?
Solved: Kwin 5.2 is under development now so currently this functionality is not availible.

It saves the state for my NVIDIA blob but does not for Intel laptop. It also warns that not every setup is able to redirect, so maybe he thinks our cards are unsupported and unchecks it?

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full scree

I have adobe acrobat 11 reader writer I want to use the pointer symbol on full screen instead of the hand, iwas able to do it on adobe 10 also when in full screen i can't open attachments unless i right click and open it then it boots me out of full screen is there any way i can click on the attacment without going out of full screen

I don't know why the change, but the pointer appears in the same way as it does on the main screen, not a pointer. There does not appear to be anyway to change it. You may want to submit a comment to the Features Requests: Acrobat Feature Requests. I also submitted this as a bug.
As a clarification, your "adobe acrobat 11 reader writer" is not informative. There is Acrobat 11 and Reader 11. Writer is not a product as such. So you have referred to Acrobat in a contradictory manner. In the future, please just indicate Acrobat 11 or Adobe Acrobat 11.

Unable to use AOL Desktop Browser

Hi,
The last couple of days we've been unable to use the AOL Destop Browser with a BT connection. My mother prefers this browser despite advising her to use Chrome/Firefox/IE several times but now she is unable to. I phoned AOL and was told following some sort of recent BT server update AOL were blocked. I contacted BT but they were unable to help. Not sure why it was necessary to block AOL but yeah, for my mother's sake it would be good if we could use the AOL browser again.
Thanks

Hi.
You imply she was able to use the AOL browser until a couple of days ago.
The AOL browser may have some dedicated settings, aimed purely at AOL users. Things like automated configuration settings and all sorts of things could be set (tools/internet options in IE).
Not sure about the BT server update, and would question whether AOL are just fobbing you off.
Frankly things do change, and moving ISPs can mean a new learning curve for some - particularly from AOL with their own stuff. Might be worth getting her to try Firefox (for e.g.) again. If the AOL browser isn't going to work, then she'll have to.

Key combination or gesture for full screen

Is there a key combination or gesture for maximizing an app to full screen? In other words, is there another way to utilize this feature besides clicking on the arrows in the top right corner?

try Ctrl + Cmd + F?

My icon are showing DO not have full screen?

I do not have a full screen, my icon are showing

It's pretty simple to create your own Full Screen keyboard shortcut. Here is what I did and it works perfectly:
1. System Preferences
2. Keyboard
3. Keyboard Shortcuts tab
4. Application Shortcuts
5. Click + symbol at bottom or right box and select All Applications
6. Set Menu Title for Enter Full Screen & Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
7. Repeat Step 5
8. Set Menu Title for Exit Full Screen & Set Keyboard Shortcut for Control + Command + F click Add
9. Exit System Preferences and use the new keyboard shortcuts on all apps that have Full Screen capabilities.

Using scale mode with fscommand full screen

Im using the following code and although i want it to be a
full screen movie i dont want the content to scale with the screen,
is there a way of stopping this?
var scaleMode_cb:mx.controls.ComboBox;
scaleMode_cb.dataProvider = ["noBorder"];
var cbListener:Object = new Object();
cbListener.change = function(evt:Object) {
var scaleMode_str:String = evt.target.selectedItem;
Stage.scaleMode = scaleMode_str;
scaleMode_cb.addEventListener("change", cbListener);
fscommand("fullscreen", "true");

Not sure what you're talking about... It works just the way I expect it to work on my PC.
What you say makes a lot of sense though. Integration with system features is a Good Thing.
I do wish Windows would provide a text vocalization tool; I have had to install a very old one. Say hi to (the voice of) Siri for me.

My scroll bar dissapears when my firefox screen isn't maximized - how do I make it show up when not full screen?

This just happened spontaneously yesterday - did I press some strange shortcut to make this happen? How do I get my scroll bar back when not in full screen?
Please help!

It is possible that the screen is too high and that the status bar and scroll bar fall off at the bottom.<br />
Open the system menu via Alt+Space and see if you can resize that window.<br />
If that works then close Firefox to save that setting.<br />

Lion OS - Viewing one window/application at a time after using Show Desktop

Please note I am using a MacBook, but it is connected to a monitor and I use an external Apple keyboard, so those are the shortcuts I am using.
In Snow Leopard, when I had a lot of windows open and I wanted to, say, drag a file from the desktop into a specific folder in the Finder, I used to use F11 to show the desktop, then choose the Finder from the dock, and that is the only one that would appear. Then I could could easily drag files from the desktop into a folder, etc.
Now when I try Command+F3 to show the desktop, and choose the Finder, all of the windows I have open repopulate the screen, with the Finder on top - obscuring the desktop.
Is there a way to quickly sweep away extra windows and choose only ONE to view at a time? (e.g., so the only thing you see on the screen is that one window and the desktop?)
Many thanks in advance!

Since my Maverick infall, I'm unable to use remote desktop connection, What can I do?

Since I updated to Maverick, i am unable to cconnct to my job's server through the remote desktop connection. I know the problem is not at work since I'm able to connect from my apple laptop and other windows computers. When I try to connect I get an error message stating the terminal session is not supported in my computer. Can I connect to my office server using Maverik or do I have to revert to Mountain Lion?

I talked with Apple support they tried having me restart my comp and reinstall intunes. Which did not work and he basically said that I would need to go the apple store and probably have to get a new phone. Thank god I backed everything up first.

Unable to use CC desktop

I get a blank CC window with a small window overlaying it which contains the CC logo. I am unable to close or manipulate either window and unable to select anything behind the small window. the only way I can close the desktop app is to End Task through the Task Manager. A screen grab is attached. I am running Windows 8.1 and this is a recent problem.

Help with Noika N73 Full Screen Wllpaper?

Hi there all i am new to this forum. I am glad I have found this because it is a huge help for people who love their Nokia's lol.
I have a problem with my nokia n73.
Phone Details:
Model: Nokia N73
Version: v 3.0704.1.0.1
RM-133.
I have just had this phone sent back from nokia. They reported it had a software problem which is now resolved. I am unable to use my Pictures and a Full Screen Wallpaper.
All help is much appreciated
Many Thanks
Jassi

ok. now you should take a picture from your camera LARGE picture--select it from camera settings and then set it as wallpaper. this is not at all a software issue. its just got something to do with your picture size.
try downloading pictures from the net specific to your n73 phone screen size and they will work out best !
