Using Apple TV/Airplay for a full screen movie and opening new window on laptop

When I have a full screen movie playing on my TV in AirPlay dual screen mode, and I open a new Safari window or my Mail, the window appears seemingly by default on top of the movie rather than coming up on my laptop monitor. Is there a spot I can reset the default for new Safari windows and Mail windows to my laptop monitor, so they don't interrupt the movie on my TV?
Background: my girls love Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife which I find terribly boring, and need to find something to do while the movies are playing rather than fall asleep! And you know what happens if Safari shows up over top of their beloved Downton!

it being mirror and many tv's being widescreen 16:9 and the screen of ios device not being widescreen this happen
most tv's support having top and button chopped or streghed to fill the tv this is something one does with the tv's remote

Flex Bug - Cannot display full screen video in a new window

My top level application consists of a login screen. When the user logs in successfully, the main application is closed using "this.close()" and a new Window() is opened. Inside the new window I've added the VideoPlayer component and specified a source.
When I run the application, everything worked as expected. However as soon as I click the full screen option on the VideoPlayer, Flex says:
Error: Error #3200: Cannot perform operation on closed window.
    at flash.display::Stage/desktop_set_displayState()
    at flash.display::Stage/set displayState()
    at spark.components::VideoPlayer/fullScreenButton_clickHandler()[E:\dev\4.x\frameworks\projects\spark\src\spark\components\VideoPlayer.as:2233]
Inside the VideoPlayer.as file I've found what I think is the problem:
2204: // add as a popup
2205: PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, FlexGlobals.topLevelApplication as DisplayObject);
I commented out line 2205 and added a new line:
PopUpManager.addPopUp(this, parentApplication as DisplayObject);
However I get the same error and it still says the problem is at line 2233 as well, even though line 2233 now reads (due to the additional line I added above):
// TODO (rfrishbe): Should we make this FULL_SCREEN_INTERACTIVE if in AIR?
I cleaned my project via the Project menu but I still get the same error message. Any idea how I can resolve this problem?

Doesn't anyone know?

I open Preview in full screen mode and open two files.

How do I switch between the files? In non full-screen mode I can press cmd +` but this does not work in full-screen. I can go to Windows and choose the one I want but that is inconvenient. I tried this in Mail and Windows does not work.

Hi there
The only way to display things in that manner from inside the browser is to use JavaScript to open the window. When you open the window using JavaScript, you have the ability to define many of the window characteristics, such as toolbars and all that.
Likely this will require engaging in a conversation with the support area of whomever supports the LMS you are using in order to figure out what you need to change to make this happen when the LMS serves the Captivate content.

How should I swipe in iPhoto, when two fingers swipe is for swiping full screen apps? thanks

I dont know how to swipe phoots in iPhoto using Lion, two fingers swipe swipes full screen apps,,,thanks

Did you mean three fingers? (the default in Lion).
Have you tried changing Lion to use a four fingered swipe for spaces (System Preferences > Trackpad > Guestures)? If you do that, maybe iPhoto will be able to use the three fingered gesture (although I only have an old version of iPhoto and it doesn't work in that).
Sorry if that doesn't help. How about the cursor keys?

I want to put Acrobat in full screen mode, and use the pencil to write simultaneously.

I want to put Acrobat in full screen mode for a presentation, and use the pencil to write on the page at the same time. Is there any way both can be used simultaneously?

George is on the money - you'll not be able to use the pencil tool while in full screen.
Something to try:
Use F8 and F9 to hide what is at the top of Acrobat's window.
Have the Pencil tool selected for use first.
You'll be able to use the Pencil tool.
The PDF, with Acrobat's window maximized, will give the appearance of "full screen".
Be well...

I was in full screen mode and now that I have exited, the main toolbar for Safari is gone. So please don't say go to View. Each time I click off of safari to the desktop, it shows me the Finder Toolbar. I have opened and closed Safari many many times.

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.

I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. How to fix

I was using the newest version on OSX 10.7.5 and I was in full screen mode and viewing a photo and it was impossible to exit full screen. This happened at 11:03pm on Friday April 12, 2013. I deleted this from my apps and then deleted iphoto from my purchases in macbook app store the search it the app store and it says it has still been installed. What can I do to fix it?

Well deleting it from your machine was not the way to go.
Deleting it from your Purchases List was definitely not the way to go.
So, I'm not really sure how you're going to reinstall it.
But figure that out and we can try help. Contact App Store support. There's a link on the right hand side of the App Store Window. They should be able to get it back on your purchases list so you can reinstall it.

I accidently click for a full screen view on Firefox and now I can't undo it. My bar with tools, bookmarks, etc. is not visible. As the browser opens, the bar appears but then jumps up where it can't be reached. How do I turn off the full screen?

Co-el, This wasn't possible as there wasn't a navigation bar available. The F11 did the trick though. Thanks for adding to the discussion.

Hello User909807,
After having some close calls with fraudulent purchases on my own bank account, I know how scary it can be to know someone else other than you had your personal information, so it was nice to know my issuing bank was helping keep my identity safe. Having said that, it’s completely understandable why it’d be frustrating to discover you were unable to continue making purchases after confirming your identity via text, and I apologize if this caused any unintentional frustration.
While I’ll be sure to document your feedback regarding our partnership with Citibank, N.A., please know that they are the issuer of your My Best Buy credit card account. As such, I will be glad to share your concerns with our Citibank contacts so that they may contact you to discuss your account in further detail. Please know you should receive follow-up contact from them within the next 3-5 business days.

I can't exit full screen mode and there are no navigation areas like I used to have.

I just loaded Foxfire 4.0. I tried out full screen mode and cannot get back to the original mode. Even more annoying is that there doesn't seem to be any way to open new tabs or show the items that I used to keep at the top of my start screen. It's annoying enough to have to learn a new version without having to start from scratch as it were. Why can't new versions let you keep some of the old familiar places from before??? I'm seriously considering trying to go back to my old version. HELP ME!!

You could go back to the old version but it is relatively easy to make firefox 4 look and behave more like firefox 3.6, although there could be disadvantages in doing that. see [[Installing a previous version of Firefox]]
Keyboard key '''F11 should toggle full screen on or off''' as before
Touching the top edge of the screen with the mouse pointer should also display toolbars.
The menubar and bookmarks toolbar do not display by default in firefox 4, if you are not using a Mac it will display the firefox button. Alt or f10 will temporarilly display the menubar toolbar, even if the firefox button is displayed, from the option
* '''View -> toolbars -> [x] menu bar [x]bookmarks toolbar'''
you may set the bars to display permenantly if you wish.
Another change is the''' tabs on top''' again settable from the view menu or the firefox button. see [[why are tabs on top]]

Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?

Is it possible to use Apple's fonts for commercial use?
Thank you very much.

Here's a look at the font agreement section from OS X Mountain Lion:
E. Fonts. Subject to the terms and conditions of this License, you may use the fonts included with the Apple Software to display and print content while running the Apple Software; however, you may only embed fonts in content if that is permitted by the embedding restrictions accompanying the font in question. These embedding restrictions can be found in the Font Book/Preview/Show Font Info panel.
So basically, you need to examine the fonts to see if there are notes on usage restrictions or limitations.
