I clicked "full screen" on a video and my menu bar disappeared and won't come back. I can hover over it and bring it down temporarily but then it goes back up. I am not on the video page any longer so cannot just resize it. HELP!!!
I looked online but nothing helped.

There may be another answer, Rita, but try restarting your MBP.

Hi Artie: I finally figured it out. I got the menu bar to come down temporarily and clicked View and then Exit full screen. I just don't know why this happend. I use the full screen thing all the time when watching videos. Oh well. Thank you. There may be another answer, Rita, but try restarting your MBP.

Thinking about it, the same thing happened to me once, and I eventually figured it out, but that was the only time my menu bar has disappeared; ordinarily, "full-screen" means except for the menu bar.
"Full-screen" from clicking on the icon in a video, which is what I virtually invariably do, isn't really full screen; I don't remember what happened the one time I was in true full-screen mode.

Yeah, that's the first time it happened to me and I panicked. I don't like things to come and go, including the dock. But, if it happens again, I will know what to do.

I haven't encountered the problem myself, but if you run into it again, try hitting the Escape key. That is a quick way to exit full screen and just might do the trick for you.

Hi: Believe it or not I did that and nothing happened. I usually do that when I am in full screen. But what happened here was just weird.

I just opened a few videos in both QuickTime Player and VLC, and I was invariably able to exit full screen mode, i.e. no menu bar, by hitting "escape".
I think, though, that he first time it happened "escape" didn't work.

Yes, normally this is the case for me, too. This was just a weird accident. I just opened a few videos in both QuickTime Player and VLC, and I was invariably able to exit full screen mode, i.e. no menu bar, by hitting "escape".
