Using Full Screen

I am totally a novice when it comes to iPhoto. I took the tour of how to use it. My question is this. When I click on one of my photos and then click on the full screen button it takes me to the full screen but after a few seconds I lose the menu bars at the top and bottom. Only by running my arrow over the top or bottom will I get it back and that is only as long as I am using it. Should the menu bars be staying or is what is happening correct to give me uhampered access to my photo? Is it best to edit in the main screen or the full screen? I hope this makes sense.

Stamper,
You can change this behavior, if you wish. Select any photo and go to full-screen edit mode. To keep the menu bar and thumbnails, go to View > Show Thumbnails. To keep the tool bar choose View > Show Toolbar.
I also prefer full-screen edit mode. It is powerful, and in my opinions one of the best things about iPhoto 6 compared to previous versions. Plus, even with PhotoShop Elements set as my external editor in iPhoto (iPhoto opens to PE when I double-click) I can still edit in iPhoto's full-screen edit mode by clicking the full-screen icon at the bottom of the iPhoto window. I like this flexibility.

"Edit photo - Using Full Screen"

Am I missing something? This hot tip seems to be nonsense:
"Automatically open photos full screen on double click
To make it easier to view your photos in glorious full screen, go the General area of the iPhoto preferences. There you can choose to "Edit photo - Using Full Screen". This will allow you to view any photo in full screen simply by double clicking its thumbnail in the organize view."
There is no such Using Full Screen option when I go to the General area of Preferences....
Any hints?

For no apparent reason, my laptop starting opening my photos, when I double clicked on them, in my printer editing program. For the past couple of years, it always opened up in the iPhoto large screen editing option. Don't know why it suddenly changed. (I had not yet upgraded to iPhoto6). Thank you for telling me where to make the change. It works. I like the option of the two large black arrows below the main photo, so that I can go from one to another while the photos are still large and also stay in the iPhoto program.
I hope "caliban" found that option and corrected his problem.

I have recently upgraded to Firefox 5.0. I am now unable to use full screen mode when watching you tube. i've never had this problem before.

i can't think of anything else to add. i've always been able to use full screen mode in firefox, it still works on vimeo and it still works on NEtflix..

What happens when you try to use full screen mode -- button is ineffective, video doesn't display, etc.?
By the way, Adobe has issued a couple of security updates recently, so you might want to update your Flash plugin.

Use Mac while HDMI is using full screen

Hello,
I am trying to use the HDMI port to show something full screen on the tv using quickplayer, but would also like to use the Mac screen to use pages, is this possible?
many thanks,

Running Mavericks, yes:
Full screen applications
With Mavericks, you can use full screen apps on each display independently. Open an app full screen on one display. On your other display, open an additional app as either windowed, or full screen.
To switch between full screen apps, move your pointer over to the app and click. You can also use Mission Control or press Command-Tab to change your focus.

Rmbp crushes when using full screen with Aperture

I already updated my rmbp to Mountain Lion and updated my Aperture with the latest version.
My rmbp crushes in full screen after I use the Quick Brushes tool. My rmbp shows a message in four languages and restarts...
But if I don't use full screen everything is ok...

The message in four languages indicates a "kernal panic". These crashes are system wide, and should be avoided.
Unfortunately, that's all I can offer. You might search for "Aperture full screen kernal panic". As this seems to be repeatable, you should submit a bug report to Apple via "Aperture➞Provide Aperture feedback".
One small thing: does it happen with no external devices attached (second monitor, mouse, etc.)?

How to disabled mutli desktop when I using Full Screen?

How to disabled mutli desktop when I using Full Screen?
Some app have a preferences option to do this which like iTerm2
In Lion-Style FullScreen windows, I can't use command + tab to quickly switch between in the apps, I must switch to the app own desktop which is using fullscreen, It's so trouble. I even think this is a flaw in Apple's design.
So, How can I have use this feature in others apps such as Google Chrome, Mail, Safari and so on.
Please Help me! Thanks! Thanks! Thanks!

Why can't i use full screen on netflix?

With Firefox, using my MacBook Pro (3 weeks old)I cannot go to full screen when running a movie on Netflix. It worked fine on my older MacBook Pro.The screen goes dark after 2 attempts.
However I can go to full screen on Netflix using Safari.

Try to disable the hardware acceleration in the Flash Player.

Please Help!!! At wits End!! Flash player problems using full screen mode

Thank you... I have a dual monitor setup with my macbook which is connected to my TV a Insignia NS-LCD47HD-09 model. +When I play flash videos in full screen on my lcd they come in all choppy and unsmooth.+ This problem developed all of a sudden and I have played flash videos on my lcd in the past with no issues, I dont know what changed. I've noticed these flash videos play all smooth on my macbook in fullscreen but not on my lcd. I have tried flash videos form many diffrent sites and have this same problem, also other formats divx for example dont have this problem. A flash video will play all smooth in the regular view and when i make it full screen it gets all choppy without fail on my tv.
I should also say I have the most up-to-date flash player 10, and have tried unistalling it and doing it again, as well as tried putting flash player 9 & 8 on my computer which dont seem to work at all. I have also tried to mess with the displays under system prefrences and am using a 1920X1080 on my lcd with 59.9ghz, none of my other potions seem to make a diffrence.
I have tried everything i can think of and tried to find other fourms for this problem and I just cant figure it out.... Please help, this has been really been bugging me.

Hmm, you may be onto something regarding the repair permissions thing. The authorization issue is happening when even putting together a movie that has more than one song from itms (and if you go to trim it, you end up in an endless loop between iMovie and iTunes— FUN!). There's a whole 'nother thread on it here:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1079288&tstart=0
I did report it as a bug however. One other person in that thread was able to duplicate the issue at an Apple store on one of their machines. One would assume they go through the steps you do before installing software (assume tht is).

How to use full screen mode in Windows Media Player (activex)

I am trying to write a LV program to display video "full screen" using a WindowsMediaPlayer control (in LabVIEW 8). Is this not possible? When I run the code I get an error:
Error -2147418113 occurred at Property Node
This error code is undefined. No one has provided a description for this code, or you might have wired a number that is not an error code to the error code input.
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks,
Jeremy

Under LV 7.1 with DSC installed I get the same error code (-2147418113) but "explain error" gives me this.
"LabVIEW DSC: (Hex 0x8000FFFF) Catastrophic failure."
This prompts the question is it possible to set an activeX object running in a container for Full Screen.
This is probably a Q for MS.
If it look like it is possible, try to get a VB example and that will tell us what we have to do to make this work.

How to use full screen in motorola phones

hi all
i m new to this j2me technology.
please can you tell me how i can use the full screen in motorola phones like that in the nokia "fullCanvas"
thanx
anurag

In the older MIDP 1.0 models it was usually a matter of drawing outside of the regular borders (ignoring the value returned by getHeight).For MIDP 2.0 models of course there is Canvas.setFullScreenMode(). But you never get the whole screen, the top bar with the status and battery signal can't be drawn over.

Why does my dock get stuck when using full screen apps?

When using a full screen app like Safari, if I go back to my desktop and to the dock (which i keep minimized) it stays there when going back to the full screen app. I have to go back to the first page and hover over the dock to get it to go back. Not sure whats going on...

I may not have explained exactly...so basically when i go to the main desktop screen, and open a program or use the dock, it sometimes gets stuck in show mode. Then when i go back to the safari full screen app for instance, the dock stays up, with the latest program highlighted. In order to get the dock to go away, i need to go back to the desktop and hover over the dock again for it to hide.
I really hope someone else is experiencing this because its very annoying and I want apple to fix it quickly

Window order question when using Full screen

Hello all,
This is my first time posting.. Probably many more to come.. But this is probably a really easy question. I am really new to Cocoa and am picking it up slowly one step at a time.
I am making an application where I need a full screen animation to work with. I have been able to get that up and running and have been able to use a keyboard event to toggle the window to go to full screen and back to window size. However, once I go from the window (which when the app starts is window size) to full screen then back to window I cannot go back into full screen without reselecting that window. What can I do to get it so it will go back and forth all day without having to physically click the window? I have tried using the [self becomeFirstResponder] after it exits full screen and didn't help. I am using the [self enterFullScreenMode:[NSScreen mainScreen] withOptions:nil]. This will be on a MacMini installed kind of like a kiosk so it won't have a keyboard and mouse at all times.. And I might be only using the apple remote or something like that for control.
Thanks for your help!!

Hi speluttiero!
I've got the exact same problem, with MacBook Pro Core i5. 64 bit Windows 7 in Boot Camp.
It even crashes the whole Windows every now and then when playing flash full screen.. screen goes blank, some strage noise from speakers, and then requires reboot. Anyone any idea what's the problem?

Grey transparent overlay on canvas using full screen in Photoshop

Hi!
I'm using MacPro bootcamp with Vista. Dual screen with Graphic Card ATI X1900.
Everytime I use the Full screen mode I get an overlaying grey transparent color covering the canvas. I have to restart the program to reset the display. Open GL on/off doesn't fix it either.
I have tried updating card drivers and CS4. As far as I know it only happens in Photoshop and not the complete master collection.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Not sure where to post this: Mac/PC? Sorry

It's still there and extremely annoying artifact. This error come and goes but always seems to be triggered by using FullScreen mode. If the image floats and I move the image by clicking the top then it displays ok for as long as I move it?!?! Once I let go of the mousebutton the dull gray overlay is back. I have once again (4th time now) updated the driver for the ATI X1900 Graphic Card but no luck. Only program restart works to remove it, and then I have to avoid FullScreen which is essential for my work.
Found this link and I'm now trying to work with the "Use For Image Display" unchecked (Edit>preference>performance>GPU settings). Hopefully that will do the trick?
Hopefully this will help me and others with the same problem.
Tnx
