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.

  • Flash Player crashes when going into full screen mode

    Hey guys! It's basically as the title implies. Whenever I am watching a video and attempt to go into full screen mode, flash player crashes and I get an error window reading "Adobe Flash Player 11.3 r300 has stopped working". As a matter of fact, it doesn't even happen all the time. It happens most of the time, however. It has happened even immediately after searching for and installing the newest version. What might be causing this and what can I do to resolve it? I am using Windows 7 32-bit and Firefox as my browser.
    Thanks in advance friends!

    this may be hardware related.  try unselecting  "Hardware Acceleration..."
    right click a movie or flash content and uncheck the box in the first tab in Settings.  quit out of the browser and try fullscreen again.

  • Screen goes to sleep even when viewing movies in full screen mode

    Hi, I have adjusted my settings so my screen goes to sleep after 5 minutes which is ok. But it also does this when viewing movies in full screen mode.... Is this a setting somewhere? Thanx!

    Welcome to the Discussions!
    "When the computer is inactive" or "idle" means when YOU, the user, are doing nothing, neither using the keyboard nor the mouse. So you have to increase that 5 mins in Energy Saver.

  • The itunes window on my desktop fails to display the bottom most portion of the screen unless I go into full screen mode.  Why?

    As a follow up to provide more detailed information.
    I have a MacBook as well running 10.6.8.
    When I open itunes, the window I expect to come up does.  It has a scroll that allows me to view all of my playlists, as well as hit the new playlist icon at the bottom of the screen, etc.
    On my Macbook Pro running 10.7.4, when I open itunes, there's no scroll bar, no icons at the bottom most portion of the screen.  The only way that I can see the new playlist icon AND be able to view/scroll through all of my playlists is to enter full screen mode....very inconvenient as the window is now fixed (can't be moved out of the way) without exiting full screen mode.
    I'm a multi-tasker...rearranging windows, making one application active while another moves into the background, is my typical work situation.
    Thanks in advance for any help that you can offer.

  • How to disable app from opening into full screen mode

    Dear all I'm on OSX 10.8.4 and every time i start an app it'll go to full screen even after quiting it and opening the app again. Is there a way to stop this from happening

    Full-screen mode is controlled by you. If you take it OUT of full-screen mode (go to the very top right of the screen, wait for the menubar to drop down, click the blue inward-facing arrow icon), and THEN quit the app, it will remember the preference and open in normal windowed-mode next time.

  • Color changes when I change to full-screen mode.

    The color settings change when I go from one screen mode to another.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks

    Are you sure this is not an optical illusion due to the background change?
    Open the info panel and check a point with the eyedropper tool in each mode.

    You either have to physically delete (or rename) the preference files or, if using the Alt, Ctrl, and Shift method, be sure that you get a confirmation dialog.
    This resets all settings in Photoshop to factory defaults.
    A complete uninstall/re-install will not affect the preferences and a corrupt file there may be causing the problem.

  • How do I make the system clock visible on all screens - including when I am in full screen mode

    New to the Mac OS . . . I want a clock that persists.  Yes I can mouse near the top and see the clock but I have to move the cursor each time I want to see the clock.
    I tried a few floating clocks - but none of the ones I tried are visible in full screen mode.
    Is there a setting in Mavericks that will make the clock visible all the time?
    Thanks.

    Your best bet might be to set up the clock in Dashboard so you just have to press F12 to see it and dismiss it, even in full screen apps, without having to move your cursor.

  • Lots of hang ups when using iPhoto in full screen mode

    Has anyone else got this problem or a solution? I find that iPhoto hangs up or give strange action when in ful screen mode. The other day, for example, I had two iPhoto windows showing, one in full screen and one normal window on the desk top! Another day the system became unresposive and I had to force quit iPhoto to get it back. Another day I had to re-boot the machine entirely. All other full screen apps work fine.
    I am on MacBook black, 2GB memory. OS X Lion fully updated.

    Try trash the com.apple.iPhoto.plist file from the HD/Users/ Your Name / library / preferences folder.
    (On 10.7: Hold the option (or alt) key while clicking on the Go menu in Finder to access the User Library)
    (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.)
    What's the plist file?
    For new users: Every application on your Mac has an accompanying plist file. It records certain User choices. For instance, in your favourite Word Processor it remembers your choice of Default Font, on your Web Browser is remembers things like your choice of Home Page. It even recalls what windows you had open last if your app allows you to pick up from where you left off last. The iPhoto plist file remembers things like the location of the Library, your choice of background colour, whether you are running a Referenced or Managed Library, what preferences you have for autosplitting events and so on. Trashing the plist file forces the app to generate a new one on the next launch, and this restores things to the Factory Defaults. Hence, if you've changed any of these things you'll need to reset them. If you haven't, then no bother. Trashing the plist file is Mac troubleshooting 101.

  • Full Screen Mode for Safari - Questions

    Hi everyone.
    1) When I hit Alt-Tab in Lion to go back to Safari from another desktop and program, and have several full screen Safari windows open, it sends me to a random one. Is there any way to change that? Or should I just train myself to use gestures from now on to sort through my screen lineup?
    2) When I restart my MacBook Pro with my lineup of full screen Safari windows open, it pulls them all back up but, unfortunately, puts them in some sort of random order. Is there any way to save the order of the lineup in the Mission Control at the top? I like my stuff to be set up in a certain way.
    Any answers are very welcome, and thank you in advance for your kind help.

  • How do you activate full screen mode in safari on ipad ios7???!!!!

    I've spent an hour trying to figure this out!!!!! It's working well on my iPhone but not on ipad!!
    Please help!

    I completely agree, the full screen should be an option on iOS 7, which I was warned about getting. I hope they roll out an update soon. I went to this device to streamline and simplify my life and the clutter bothers me when on Safari.
    There are other 3rd party apps out there I'm sure, but I don't like google anymore and try to minimize my use of them wherever possible.
    The biggest annoyance is watching an embedded youtube video on safari. Solution: download Mc Tube and open the video there. While there, you get the true fullscreen view, no clutter.
    Google search solution: duckduckgo better results, not revenue based & a clean interface.
    I moved away from the android pack to get this seamless apple experience where you just intuitively interace with your passion, or whatever it says on the apple ipad marketing. This is being typed on an iphone keyboard from an ipad mini that all I wanted to do was run Safari in fullscreen as well as sort through the tabs like you can on the macbook.
    otherwise very satisfied and awaiting some logical updates to iO7, that if not released would have Mr. Jobs rolling over in his grave!

  • Left outer join with multiple conditions

    Is it possible to add to a left outer join (= anyOfAllowingNone) more than the primary condition (in SQL this would be added per "and").
    Background: The execution plan of the produced SQL shows large results on which the final filter is applied although I have conditions that would decrease this last result set much earlier...

    There is no easy way to do this in TopLink expressions, other than including the join in the regular where clause as you have done. Does it make a big impact in the performance of your query?
    <p>
    You could use custom SQL for the query.
    <p>
    Or you could potentially define a OneToOneQueryKey in your TopLink descriptor that includes the additional join criteria and call anyOfAllowingNone using this query key.
