Won't stay in fullscreen mode!!!!

darn it. just updated to 7.2 and now when i try to watch something with my TV as the second screen in fullscreen mode, every time i do something other than that (like try to use safari on the first screen) quicktime drops the playback size to a small window. very annoying. what happened?

no... i have quicktime pro, i use cmd-f to use fullscreen, have it set the second screen, but if QT isn't the foreground application, it resizes the screen.
in other words if QT is playing fullscreen and i cmd-tab to another app, it also resizes. or click on another app's window, QT resizes.
same on both systems.

I want Safari in Mountain Lion to stay in fullscreen mode after closing.

Hello!
I have a feature on my Mac Mini and Macbook Pro (OS X Lion), which makes Safari stay in fullscreen after I have closed it down (Cmd + Q) and then start the program again. By doing so I do not need to click on the full screen icon(upper right corner) every time I start Safari again.
But on my Macbook Pro Retina (Mountain Lion), this function is gone. Before I made a temporary solution, which was that I locked the file (think it's a cache file) that allows Safari to go back to "No fullscreen" mode, and it worked. But the bad part about it is that I can not change the settings after that.
Does anyone know any solution to this? Or is there something wrong with my Safari?

Thank you! That solved my problem, strange that Apple support couldn't help me in this
But why are for example Spotify working with always start with fullscreen even if the "close windows..." is checked?

Airport Extreme won't stay in Bridge Mode

I have the AE being used as a USB print server and for some reason it doesn't stay in Bridge mode. Every few days/weeks I have to run the AirPort Utility and put it back on Bridge Mode. No idea how/why it gets reset.
I am printing over the network (not wireless) from two iMacs. The AE is plugged into a router in the basement. Any other configuration options I could try?

I'm having a similar problem and I'm at wit's end. I know almost nothing about hardware.
My DSL comes in through AT&T on a Motorola MSTATEA (whatever that is) modem and goes to a single iMac. The brand new Airport Extreme handles my 802.11n network (several iMacs) without a problem.
When I change the configuration to be DSL modem > AE > wireless iMacs, there is DSL for everybody for a short period of time (seconds to minutes). Then I get a very ugly error message (I believe an exclamation mark on a red background) saying that 192.168.1.64 (the address printed on the modem) is in use by 00:1b:63:... (not the MAC ID of my Airport Extreme) Server 192.168.1.254. Airport Utility starts and tells me I must set up my AE in bridge mode. I do that successfully, restart my hardware, and the whole cycle begins again. Airport Utility keeps telling me my AE needs to be changed bridge mode, and I keep doing it. Is there a way to verify that the AE ever even accepts to the command to go to bridge mode?

Music won't stay in shuffle mode ?

Hi all,
This problem seems to have started after intalling one of the last ITunes updates a while ago.
Basically when I shuffled a song list it would stay in shuffle mode until you unclicked the shuffle icon. Now the shuffle mode seems to randomly turn itself off.
Does anyone know why this is happening ?
Thanks all,
Martin

Ok I've worked out what causes this - if you play a podcast it turns off the shuffle when you go back to songs. Do you think this is a bug ? If so how could I report to Apple ?
Thanks all

IPod won't stay in disk mode

I have the dreaded sad face icon. I am attempting to restore it. I am able to put the iPod into disk mode. It will stay in disk mode and charge with the A/C charger. When I try to connect it to the pc it will flash "do not disconnect" for a few seconds then reboot and go back to the sad face. It will not stay in disk mode long enough for me to attempt a restore. Anyone had a similar problem?

Well, I got frustrated enough to try the "whack in on the desk" method of iPod restoration I have read about in a few places. Low and behold IT WORKED! Took two tries. I banged it on my desk fairly hard three times and now it has started fine and is charging as I type this. All songs are still there at first glance. It seems like a dumb thing and your mileage may vary, but it worked for me.

Lenovo T61 won't stay in Standby mode

Im running windows xp. my computer wont stay in stanby mode when i close the lid or click start, shut down, and then choose the standby option. When i click shut down the computer wont stay shut down. It just restarts. Basically my computer wont stay in standby mode or shutdown.
what could be the problem? and solution...?

Check your system logs in your Console application for clues to what is triggering it to come back on. USB hubs or something connection to the computer via USB or Firewire often cause this issue. Try disconnecting any external devices.

Iphone won't stay in Airplane mode after connecting to some accessories

I've observed that the iphone doesn't stay in airplane mode after I connect it to a Kenwood KCA-iP500 adapter for Kenwood head units. Here's the story.
After I connect the iphone to the iP500, the iphone pops up with a message that says the attached accessory is not compatible with the iphone. It further asks me if I want turn on airplane mode. I choose to activate airplane mode, and I assume it turns on airplane mode. After my drive I disconnect the iphone from the ip500, and I observe that the iphone comes out of airplane mode automatically.
The use of airplane mode is crucial for me because I work in a Mexican border town and I want to avoid data roaming charges. I manually put the phone in airplane mode, put it into standby mode and went about my business. Some time later I went back to the home screen and noticed that the phone was trying to register to a phone network. I kept trying to keep it in airplane mode but it kept coming out by itself.
I'm guessing that the feature that temporarily activates airplane mode and then automatically deactivates it when the accessory is disconnected keeps it out of airplane mode.
The good news is turning the phone off and then back on fixes the problem.

Netflix won't stay in Fullscreen

Hi i need help!
I am so annoyed with silverlight/netflix.
It won't allow me to add netflix as a permission.
It never comes up as an option when it kicks me off of fullscreen after a few minutes.
Is there any way to fix this or am I doomed?
I hear this problem is abound!

Hi all,
I had the same problem that is described here and I found a solution that works for me. I followed the instructions that Rasmus and made modifications that fixed the problem.
First, I actually found the registry key in a different location than He/She described:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/AppDataLow/Microsoft/SilverLight/Permissions
I already had an entry for http://www.netflix.com:80 with the StayInFullScreenWhenUnfocused key set to 11 (Hex).
I noticed that firefox was just displaying www.netflix.com in the address bar, so on a hunch I tried adding keys for www.netflix.com, www.netflix.com:80, and http://www.netflix.com.I then added the StayInFullScreenWhenUnfocused Dword with a value of 11 (Hex).
This fixed the problem. I am guessing that the actual cause here (at least for me) is that the address that Silverlight is looking at doesn't exactly match the string it had in the registry. To sum up, to fix the issue, do the following:
Open Regedit and go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER/Software/AppDataLow/Microsoft/SilverLight/Permissions.
Add a new key in the under permissions and name it http://www.netflix.com.
Add a new DWORD in that key. Name it StayInFullScreenWhenUnfocused. Set the value to 11 (Hex).
Repeat steps 2 & 3 with keys named http://www.netflix.com:80, www.netflix.com, and www.netflix.com:80.
Restart Silverlight. Full screen should hopefully stay.

Remote Desktop Shortcuts won't work in FULLSCREEN mode

In order to make them work I need to exit full screen mode of remote desktop first (can be done with CTRL+ALT+BREAK)
Is there any fix?

Have you check the "Local Resources" under Remote Desktop Connection "properties",? just as screen shot below:
You can also test this issue with On-screen keyboard, check if issue persists.

Won't stay in sleep mode, mouse freezes

In the past months, iMac has become like a toddler -- doesn't want to sleep. Put it in sleep mode, and it does so for a few seconds, then it wakes again and the mouse cursor is frozen. I have to unplug/plug the mouse back in TWICE (never once, always twice) and try again for sleep mode. Sometimes that works, sometimes it doesn't. After 2 go-arounds, I often just shut it down. I have tried other USB ports and get the same results. I would use the wireless mouse, to see if this is a software problem, but I put it in such a safe place, now I can't find it. LOL
Any ideas?

Try a SMC reset:

Iphone won't stay on silent mode!!!

This has become a problem at work. I have my Iphone set on silent mode and after a couple minutes, it will switch back and forth between normal and silent. Note that I am not touching the button on the side and it is not stuck in the middle or anything. What do I do?

Making the back up covers yourself from losing data. Restoring as new device will show if the issue is hardware or software related. You're reloading the iOS onto the phone. Think of restoring as new device like a brain transplant for your phone. You replace a possibly defective "brain" with a brand new one. Now if the body, your phone, isn't damaged, then giving it a new brain, iOS, will allow normal function. But, if you've broken you're arm, a new brain isn't going to heal it exactly. Here's where my analogy breaks down because unlike your arm, the phone isn't going to heal itself from resting in a cast. My guess is you need to send it in for repair.

IPhone won't stay in Shuffle Mode when I plug it into my car

Does anybody know of a fix to this issue?

IPod won't stay in standby mode

When I turn off the iPod by holding down the play button, it does go into standby mode, but only for a very short time.
But if it's off for more than a few minutes, it always restarts whenever I turn it back on, meaning it shows that apple logo for quite a while, and starts at the main menu.
It's not a huge problem, but I think it's very annoying, and I really miss the standby mode from my previous iPod (also an iPod Classic, it was sent to repairs and I got a new one back - if this one is faulty as well, I'm gonna be really ****** off with the quality of these products)

The alarm-clock might be turned on, try to turn this off.

Won't stay in fullscreen mode!!!!
