Can only see one document window at a time

I am using Illustrator CS3. My document window is always full screen and lies behind the app bar so therefore I am unable to change it's size, see other windows, move it to my other screen etc etc, very annoying! I don't seem to have any cascade or tile options under the window menu either, is this something wrong with my application? Seems so to me. Any ideas much appreciated.

You are welcome, CC.
There are different ways of doing almost anything in Illy, even getting rid of preferences.
However it may make a significant difference which way is chosen.
The simple deletion through Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option+Shift at startup may solve some issues, as may the corresponding simple deletion of the aiprefs file in different other ways, but it is irreversible. This means that if deleting it does not solve your issue, you have lost your preference settings in vain, and you have to recreate them, just as you have to recreate lost artwork.
The moving of the folder solves a wider range of issues, and it is reversible; similarly, files/subfolders therein may be moved. This means that you may just restore your preference settings if the issue is not solved, with nothing lost in vain.
I made the Move the folder hint as an easy reference in the days of the fair forums, because the FAQ only mentioned the simple deletion, and because users had to spend a considerable amount of time recreating aiprefs file preference settings, sometimes lost in vain.
Since then, in newer versions, some of the preferences were moved to other files.
This means that the newer the version, the less is lost by the simple aiprefs deletion. On the other hand fewer issues are solved.
Moving the folder, or files therein, was and is still superior to deletion in terms of avoiding loss and solving issues.
Usually, I mention both ways, unless deletion has already been tried in vain.

  • I can only see one photo at a time

    I use to be able to see a thumbnail of all my photos. Now for some reason I can only see one photo at at a time. I have to use the scroll bar to go up and down. It is so frustrating. Please help.

    Welcome to the Apple Discussions.
    In the lower right corner of the iPhoto window is a slider. Move it to the left. Does that work?
    Regards.

  • I had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?

    My kids had 2 games of clash of clans on 1 game centre.  Now I can only see one?  How can I find the other one?
    My daughter set up a game centre on her ipad.  My son, on his ipad used the same game centre log in.  He then set up his own game of clash of clans.  After my son set up his Clash of Clans, my daugher set up her own Clash of Clans using the same game centre log in on her ipad.  Both were using the Clash of Clans successfully on their own ipads using the same game centre log in. 
    One day my son signed into someone elses Clash of Clans, since then he is unable to go back to his Clash of Clans and can only see his sisters.
    Please let me know if this can be resolved.
    We wish to delete my daughters Clash of Clans - as she does not use it at all.  We would like to regain access to my sons. 
    My son can visit his Clash of Clans - his clan name is 'The Big Boys'  He has a shield that is blue with a yellow lightning from top right to bottom left.  His name is Fat Poo (I know ridiculous).
    If you can help us or advise us what to do we would make my son very happy
    thanks

    Thanks for taking a stab at it: that didn't prove to be the problem. That option in the settings for tabbed browsing was not checked.
    I may be a bit behind the times: I am used to tabbed browsing showing all the tabs it possibly can, instead of just the last one. Sometimes it won't even show the last tab: I can have 15 tabs open, and not see a single tab. I've been confused by this into closing a window with lots of tabs open, because it looks like a single page-window.
    My main problem with the tab-bar flashing to the end of the row is that it means a great deal more mouse-clicking around to browse.
    I haven't tried installing the latest beta. Maybe that would fix the problem.

  • I can only scan one document at a time

    I can only scan one document at a time on my scanner. Can PDF files or documents be merged together?

    Your scanner software may be able to do that; not Adobe Reader.
    If your scanner software cannot do that, then you'll need Acrobat or http://createpdf.acrobat.com/

  • HT5517 I cannot see my Apple TV.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    I cannot see my Apple TV with airplay.  I have 2 of them and can only see one.  Ideas?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Try the following steps, check whether things are working after each step where appropriate, before trying the next.
    Check AirPlay is turned on on the Apple TV (turn it off and on if it already is)
    Check that both devices are on the same network (Settings > Wifi, on the mobile device and Settings > General > Network, on the Apple TV).
    Restart the Apple TV (Settings > General > Restart).
    Restart the Apple TV by removing ALL the cables for 30 seconds.
    Restart your router.
    Restart your mobile device.

  • I have 2 libraries in iPhoto 09 but I can only see one in apple tv, the last one I viewed in I iPhoto why ?

    I have 2 libraries in iPhoto 09 but I can only see one in apple tv, the last one I viewed in I iPhoto why ?

    iTunes sees what iPhoto sees, iPhoto only sees one library at a time.
    Either merge your libraries or upload content from one of your libraries to a service such as Flickr and use the Flickr feature on the Apple TV.

  • Can only print ONE document then have to reset Airport Express to print aga

    The title says it all.
    Everything used to work fine until I installed Leopard. Now I can only print one document; subsequent documents will hang at 16% or 28%, etc.
    Anyone else had this problem?
    Thanks,
    Mark

    No, you are not the only person with the problem. I have tried it with both a "g" and an "n" Express (I bought the "n" hoping it might work better; nope). I have a Samsung CLP-510 plugged in to it. It prints one document, then I have to reset the Express before it will print again. When it tries to print the next document, it flashes "Unable to open device (read failure)!" briefly, then pauses the printer.
    It's been driving me crazy since I installed Leopard, so I basically gave up on the Express as a print server as there seems to be no cure, and Apple seems to have no interest in fixing it. (I have been through several firmware updates since the problem started, and none have made any difference).
    +Oddly, though, just now after the seventh reset, it accepted 6 of the documents in my queue (I had 22 in the queue, and I've just been waiting for it to pause, then resetting the router for each document) before it failed.+

    I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues.  Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time.  Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......."  There is no other Adobe product installing.  I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked.  I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.  Please help.

    A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues.
    Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

  • One work process can only process one user request at a time?

    Hi,
       How to configure the how many work processes for 80 concurrent users login daily.One work process can only process one user request at a time? Does this mean a login user has a dedicated work process servicing him. Or many login users interleave a work process's service? ,clarify the same.
    Thanku

    There are different types of work processes and the number needed depends on the number of transactions that will take place in the system. We are running 80 concurrent users with 15 dialog work processes. Please see the link below for an explanation:

  • MS-6528LE Can only take one memory module at a time

    The paticular board I am posting about can only take one memory chip at a time i.e.  I install one memory chip it's 133MHZ chip 128MB boot up my machine goes to windows just fine.
    I am using windows xp btw.  
    Ok when I install a 2nd 128MB PC 133 chip I get the blue screen right before I get into windows and it gives some really weird error.
    I take the second chip out leave one chip in and it works just fine I am at a loss of this one.  
    I tried updating the bios didn't work could use some assistance here by email or a nice reply.

    Thats the problem.  My powersupply maxes out at 300W and goes no higher than that.  It seems it needs more power.  
    I will get a powersupply that is more suitable for this motherboard and post again with the results I get.  Thanks for your help I can say that this company has been more helpful than others.
    Once again thanks.

  • I can only see one parent tab from the 2 level Tabs

    Hello,
    I have some pages, lets say page A, B, C, D.
    Now I have a standard tab-set for the pages A and B, its named S1 (and has tabs for the page A and B).
    I have another tab-set for the pages C and D, this is named S2 (and has tabs for the page C and D).
    Now I have a parent tab to select the standard tab-set S1, this is named P1.
    And I have another parent tab to select tab-set S2, this is named P2.
    I can now only see one parent tab (P1 or P2), but I cant change from P1 to P2. The standard tabs are working good to select between A and B (or C and D).
    As a picture, I see my tabs like this:
    _____________P1
    A__B
    or
    _____________P2
    C__D
    but I want to have:
    ___________P2 P1
    A__B
    or
    ___________P2 P1
    C__D
    Can anyone help me?
    Regards,
    Mark

    Hm, interesting. I found out that the parent tabsets work both ways:
    1) You need to tell the parent tabset for which page it is current
    2) you need to tell the page which parent tabset to use

  • I can only print one document LJ200 M276 and Dell Latitude e5430

    I am using a HP Laser Jet 200 M276 All-in-One printer with my Dell latitude E5430 The problem is when I print a document the printer will work normally  but if I try to print a second document it will not work at all.  When I bring up  the printer Queue it shows that the printer is still in the process  of completing the first document (which has already been printed)  and the second document is in the Queue waiting for the first to be completed.  The only way to proceed with the printing is use task manager to close the application, shut down and reboot. Then again it only prints one document. I have installed the latest driver and updates and unplugged  & replugged the printer and rebooted the computer.

    The driver should be part of OS X, not something you download.
    This link shows supported HP printers (6800 but no 6840).
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3669#HP
    I suggest you delete the printer, turn it off, restart your system, and turn the printer on and add it back in.
