Watching YouTube video full screen while working in other monitor

So after upgrading to Mavericks when I have a Chrome browser window with a youtube vidoe loaded and I click to watch fullscreen my other monitor is taken over with a grayed out background. Quicktime started doing this awhile back, and Vimeo used to do it in Mountain Lion when it was embeded in another site, but if I went to Vimeo.com to watch a video this didn't happen. How do I change this?
FYI, I have all Mission Control / Spaces options unchecked as I don't use that and don't want multiple Menu bars and whatnot.

Hi, I just re-read you previous post.
You said,
Im using Google Chrome latest version and my mac is a mid 2011 mac book pro running max os x 10.8.5
I presumed that you were using OS X 10.9.x as we are in the Mavericks (10.9) forum area, not the Mountain Lion (10.8) forum area.
This changes things a little.
In Mountain Lion, Apple's implementation for multiple displays is a little different to Mavericks, where both displays share the same 'space' so it is an extended display setup. Mavericks allows each display to have its own space, thereby allowing each dislay to act independantly of each other. This is where I did my brief test.
Due to Mountain Lion's limitation, I think what you are seing is expected behaviour. Any Full Screen app will result in the other display to be greyed out.

Mac OS 10.6.8 can't watch youtube videos, black screen, no sound, nothing happens w/click.

Not real computer savy but this happened all of the sudden. Tryed going back and watching videos I've watched before. No go. Tryed uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe a couple of times with restart, no change. Made sure my apple updates were up to date, nothing.
There was some direction on YouTube to try right clicking or ctrl clicking on the video and it'll bring up a certain menu where you can select to watch the video a different way. Tryed that, and the menu options they say should come up, don't come up.
I can't figure it out. Help would be much appreciated as it's driving me nuts.
Thank you!

You rock Clinton! It was F*king Safari messing up my mojo. Man, I just spent... 5 hours of pure frustration. Thank you so much, you've gotta have some good karma coming your way for that.
So, installing Firefox did the dealio for me on this one.
Now I can watch fun videos like;

Experiencing resolution glitches when watching Youtube videos. Screen will glitch out, strange shift in screen orientation, as well as total resolution failure. Any wisdom on how to overcome this?

I have a Macbook Pro Early 2011, and am currently at 69 GB free on the 400 GB space. When I play Youtube Videos or visit websites which stream video, as well as when I run certain high graphics applications (games particularly), the resolution will just crash.
I have read a bit about this online, and have found that it has to do with the CPU and GPU being under heavy load. I think it's a bit silly that the Macbook Pro can't handle a Youtube video, however, so I hope that I may be able to remedy the problem.
Thanks for the help.

Flash Player is 'embedded' into Chrome - and sometimes that's not a good thing. Right now Chrome has the largest market share in the browser wars, though, so I suppose they've some success with the embedding of the player.
Personally, I use Firefox and have had no problems. Safari is good, I just prefer the support of Firefox (which doesn't work with some other Adobe plugin for inline PDF viewing, though).
I don't know why you're having trouble with Chrome - it is very graphics intensive, I know, and has 'broken' in the past with some GPUs. I'd just make sure that you've the latest version of Chrome and if you still have problems, just use Safari or Firefox.

When i watch youtube videos my screen goes blury and i cant see what they are doing. Any solutions?

Does any one know a suloution?

Sounds a bit like a hardware problem, faulty RAM in particular. Run the Hardware Test (see http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303605) which is either on a separate CD/DVD or on the install disk 1:
- Make sure that no peripheral devices (printer, keyboard, mouse,...) are attached to the computer.
- Insert the disk and reboot while holding down the "D"-key on the Macbook's keyboard.
- Run the tests (also try the extended one if the other doesn't find any errors)
If the test finds an error report back to Apple with the error number. If the computer is still under warranty, they should organize a repair.
Hope that helps

When watching youtube videos, the screen continually pauses and then restarts, very frustrating.

?????

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Firefox won't play sound on youtube video's but sound works in other applications

i can play sound as usual on other applications such as media player, vlc, itunes etc... but firefox and internet explorer do not work, google chrome doesnt even work. i have re-downloaded flash player and the pluggins many times trying to fix it, cleaned out my pc with ccleaner, anti-virus checked and such. i just cant fix it. i have before but i forget how and it always happens again after a while, especially just after pulling out speakers or headphones from the jack.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== it just keeps happening, has been for months and months

Try clearing the Cache in Firefox.
Tools-> Clear Recent History -> [v] Cache
or
Tools->Options->Advanced->Network -> Offline storage -> [Clear Now]
Youtube may have made some changes recently. Clear the Youtube cookie and refresh page if above does not do it.

Running flash full screen while using other apps

I run a 3 monitor setup on Win7x64. I would like to watch shows, eg Hulu, while working on other stuff on the other monitors. Any time I switch focus to another program though it drops back down into the browser. Is there a way to keep it running full screen while working with other programs?

Hi, here is a thread where it was discussed and the person that answered should know.

You might take a look on the right hand side under "More like this" just to see what others have to say even tho there doesn't seem to be a solution to this.

OS Crashes with 2 monitors while watching video full screen... ?

Hello Forum
I just recently attached a second monitor to my Mac Pro (early 2009). I have only one video card. My setup is as follows:
- miniDVI > 1920x1080 monitor
- DVI > 1280x1024 monitor (connected through a DVI to VGA adaptor.. it's an old monitor...)
The computer now crashes pretty regularly at least once a day. I notice that it always seems to crash when I watch netflix videos full screen on the 1920x1080 montior.
Also I notice that the 3rd and the 4th slot of the RAM seems to have also pretty consistently ECC Errors... (I have 8 gigs of RAM) I don't know if that's normal? Are these two issues related? Also is there a way to fix /resolve the ECC errors other than just restarting the machine?
Any insight would be much appreciated.
Thank you
Regards
sk

I have reinstalled the whole OS and am now running only Firefox, FCP, Adobe After Effects and Adobe Photoshop.
I have switched back to the original Apple RAM (3 gigs) and use only one monitor. I have one Timemachine attached through firewire 800.
It seemed to be going ok for 1 day and on the second day I get the same deadly greyed out screen that tells me to restart the computer.
The strange thing it really crashes when I hardly use anything ram intensive, reading my email for example, or watching netflix videos. I can't seem to find a pattern.
When restarting I get the following error message:
(any idea where the issue lies?) Any insight much appreciated.
Thank you for your time.
Regards

Unable to watch videos full screen

I used to be able to watch videos on my computer through itunes full screen, but lately when I put any video onto full screen, the entire screen is black and the video plays at actual size in the center. Is the new version broken, or is there something wrong with my computer? I am able to watch the videos full screen through quicktime.

I am still having this problem. I was hoping that the newest version of itunes would fix everything, but after downloading it this morning, it still plays my videos at normal ratio in full screen mode. Any suggestions of what I can do, or what happened to make it like this in the first place? Thanks.

The whole screen fluctuates contrast continuously while watching youtube videos on full screen.The odd thing is it only happens if they are on full screen,and as soon as i switch the video to window mode,the very high contrast fades aways slowly.Please help i dont know what to do.Auto-Brightness is off.Also when if i pri tscreen,th high contrast does not show,the photo looks normally.

I have this problem too. It's really annoying, especially when I'm viewing movies from iTunes. Does anyone know how to fix this?

Same problem on my ipad mini, running ios 6.0.2.
A bit more info:
-tried using YouTube in Safari on another ipad. Worked fine.
Tried reboot (sleep + home buttons for 15 seconds). Didn't fix.
-tried logging out of my YouTube account, thinking the problem was tied to my settings. Didn't fix.
-tried uninstalling all apps I downloaded since the last time YouTube worked properly. Didn't fix.
-tried watching a video in desktop mode. Can tap video screen to bring up pause okay in that mode.
There are work arounds, but the thing I want to know is why YouTube doesn't work in Safari as of a couple of days ago, and is it indicative of another more serious problem with my ipad.

IPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!

My iPhone 4 (with iOS 5.0) won't go to Landscape while taking photos/videos EVEN IF PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING IS NOT LOCKED! However, watching YouTube/Videos is stuck on LANDSCAPE!
I was getting this even on iOS 4.0, but under this OS, I can restart the phone, and in some cases, this problem goes away.
However, under iOS 5, it simply wouldn't go to LANDSCAPE. Photos is not a worry, since I can just rotate this, but videos is now stuck on Portrait!
Again, the PORTRAIT ORIENTATION SETTING is NOT LOCKED! But it still wouldn't go to Landscape.
Is this some sort of a "gyroscope" problem??
O

Sorry, but you are mistaken about both observations.
You CAN DEFINITELY take photos in Landscape and you CAN DEFINITELY watch YouTube videos in PORTRAIT (just tried it now using my sister's working iPhone).
Also, my CALCULATOR does not go to LANDSCAPE (i.e. from normal to Scientific) automatically.
So I still think it could be a gyroscope problem...but I'm not 100% sure.

I updated my linux mint , now i am unable to watch youtube videos, i am gettign a black screen with no icons!
