"A copy of Firefox is already open. Only one copy of Firefox can be open at a time." using mulitple logins

We use some dumb terminals to log multiple users onto a Windows Server machine. All the terminals login using the same account (and profile). However only one of the logins is able to use Firefox, everyone else gets the message saying its already open. We don't have any issues with IE, but... its IE... ugh.
Is there a way around this? I understand a lock file is created in the profile (which would then apply to all users logged in on that account). Is there a way to make them unique in some way? Please don't suggest we have to change browsers :(

I've called the big guys to help you. Good luck.
Why not create a separate profile on the computer for each user?
You can also create many profiles under one computer profile.
Create the profile, then give one user access to that one profile.
Note: I do not know the the latter will work as you want it to.
Create a Master Profile, then copy it under a different profile name.

'''Windows: 32-bit''' C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p
'''64-bit''' C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe -p
'''Mac:''' Navigate to '''/Applications/Utilities.''' Open the Terminal application.
In the Terminal application, enter the following:
/Applications/Firefox.app/Contents/MacOS/firefox-bin -p
'''Linux:''' In '''Terminal''' run: firefox –P
For users who have one or more builds from mozilla.org this will not work.
It would be best to have the full path so if you had placed the untared contents
in a folder in /home it would be /home/<username>/foldername/firefox/firefox –P
An easy way would be not to do it in a terminal but in say a launcher since
you have to point it to the firefox script in Firefox folder you can then add –P
on end. You can also have the exact "profilename" after the -P so Firefox
will start with that Profile.
Look on your desktop. Do you see a folder called; '''Old Firefox?'''

HT4060 iPad will not charge if hooked by USB to pc or plugged into wall. How do I know if the problem is with iPad, cable or power adapter. I have a 12, 10 and 5W adapters no success with any. Only one lightening cable so can't swap cables.

I'm sorry but this is too funny to pass up.

HT201250 Is there a way to back up only one folder (with a lot of sub folders) in time machine?

Is there a way to back up only one folder (with a lot of sub folders)

Then I recomend against using Time Machine.
I suggest you check out Carbon Copy Cloner instead.
Personally I see that as a false economy to not back up everything.

Only one computer/device connected to wireless interenet at a time, how can I change this?

I had this set up a couple years ago to where only one computer could be connected to my wireless internet. However, now that I have 2 laptops, an xbox and a Wii, I would like to change this to where more than one computer or device can be connected to my internet at a time. Anyone got a clue how to change this?
I have a WRT54G wireless router.
Thanks.

Have you tried to connect the devices? If so, is the router allowing you to? If not, are you getting any error messages?
By default, if you setup the router before, anyone should be able to connect to it without a problem.

Only one instance in a RAC will start at a time

All:
I have a 4 node Oracle RAC running on RHEL AS 4 64 bit. 10.2.0.1 64 Bit
This DB was running just fine last week.
Now all of a sudden only one instance will start.
In the alert log I get an ORA-1102
crsctl shows everything good
srvctl show all node apps running
srvctl shows all ASM instances running
When the second instance starts the alert log shows the reconfiguration taking place.
Then the second instance will die after getting an ORA-1102.
I have tried deleting and re-adding all the instances with DBCA.
ocrcheck comes back fine on all nodes.
I have another RAC on the same set of HP Blades that is still hunky dorey so I don't know what is going on.
Please help.

Hi,
check the value of cluster_database parameter
it should be TRUE on all instances, also post ur alert log and trace file.
Thanks

Since me and my mother moved from iChat to iMessage bêta, screen sharing works only one way. I can share my screen with her but not the reverse. When actually what I would like to do is share her screen. Video works fine both ways.

Screensharing works only one way since we moved from iChat to iMessage bêta. Before that we have never had any problem with screen sharing. We haven't changed anything else, just installed iMessage. What I need to do is share her screen, and the only thing I can do is share my screen...
Thanks for your help.

HI,
On the whole I am finding it very stable. (it presents the same quirks in the same manner each time)
It has some things that are more Feature requests than "Bugs" per se about the way it works that I would like to change.
It can also be difficult to tell exactly what is going on whenyou are hearing about it third hand.
Sounds like you have a plan.

I am running ios7 and cannot send pictures via iMessage to only one contact but they can send me pictures. What is going on?

I am having issues sending pictures via iMessage to only one of my contacts. They can send me pictures through iMessage so why are mine coming back undelivered?

Have managed to get it working.
It might be as simple as switching the other phone completely off, and resetting it...
I say this because I have no idea how I finally managed to get it working again. I tried so many things. Removing all the iMessage addresses. Sending messages from the computer, iPad...etc and found that the weakest link was my wife's phone. It wasn't receiving iMessage pictures from ANYONE (not just me). That allowed me to narrow down the possibilities somewhat.
Let me know if simply resetting the other person's phone fixes the problem.

Only one application is able to play sound at a time.

I installed arch on my desktop a couple weeks ago (finally 100% windows free ), but I've been having the hardest time getting audio working flawlessly.
At first I was having problems using the correct sound card as default, but It seems I have that working now. I can get sound to play, but only 1 application can access the sound card at the same time. If I have spotify playing and I try to play a youtube video in browser, the video will play for a few seconds with no sound and then completely crash. If I pause spotify and refresh the youtube page, the video will play. And also, while a youtube video or anything else is playing, any other application will refuse to play sound.
I guess this is an issue with ALSA. My sound card seems to be blocking other sources.
If I run speaker-test while something is playing I get this output:
speaker-test 1.0.27.2
Playback device is default
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 1 channels
Using 16 octaves of pink noise
Playback open error: -16,Device or resource busy
And for possible helpful information, here is the output of aplay -l

Also, this is what I have put in /etc/asound.conf in order to get my sound card to load as default (just in case I've done something wrong here):
pcm.!default {
type hw
card PCH
ctl.!default {
type hw
card PCH
So what am I missing here?

As always happens when I have issues, I try to solve it myself for hours on end, finally swallow my pride and post on the forums, and then find the solution on my own an hour later.
Found the solution here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 003#p70003
I took the asound.conf that iphitus posted and changed the ctl.dmixer to use my sound card, which is PCH as determined by asound -l.
here is my asound.conf:
#/etc/asound.conf start:
pcm.!default {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
pcm.dsp0 {
type plug
slave.pcm "dmixer"
pcm.dmixer {
type dmix
ipc_key 1024

Tricky problem: TM makes only one backup and then can't find disk anymore

I had a problem with TM backups and erased the whole TC, because that solved a problem I had in the past.
My iMac is connected via Ethernet. My notebooks via WLAN. BUT THIS PROBLEM OCCURS ON MY IMAC ONLY.
Then:
1) I defined new accounts.
2) Next backups worked like perfect.
3) The next back up not any more: Error message: "TM could not complete backup. The backup disk is not available"
4) After resting the TC or rebooting the iMac I can make a backup, but the next fails again. The disk isn't visible in the TM preferences.
5) Logs of the successful backup are:

HT204085 Does the keychain have to be set up from only one Apple ID or can it be used among 2 or more Apple ID users? For example, my daughters each have I'd but my cc is on their accounts and my wife also has her own id with my cc.

Can the keychain from my phone and Apple ID link to 2 other different phones and Apple ID's and 1 new ipod and different id? Both daughters and wife use my credit card on their accounts.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

Set up a seperate PC user account on your PC and use that for yourself or your wife. The iTunes library is associated with the PC user account.

My Digital personna addon is not working in Firefox 7.o....I use fingerprint login for each and every website....plz help.

Hi,
I have finger print reader on my laptop. This reader use Digital personna software to authenticate. I use fingerprint authentication in most of the websites. But unfortunately when I upgraded to Firefox 7.o the extension got disabled. Please help me in fixing this issue.!!!

You can try using this tool to first remove all traces of Reader from your computer:

Then, you can download the full offline Reader installer from

After downloading, restart your computer and run the installer before doing anything else.

Can't print from firefox, can print from safari. G4 using 10.5.8

Using Firefox 3.6.18

I did as benshaine posted in his thread here: https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/789780 I installed Firefox 3.5.10 to my desktop, printed from 3.5.10 and then went back into 3.6.x and I could print.

I cannot get ipod to start, Logo for power is the only one that appears but it will not recharge either by using pC or dock. I have used two different connecting wires but no difference in response

I cannot get Ipod to start. The only logo that comes up is the power needed but in spite of connecting the ipod to PC and using two different connection leads the ipod does not respond. I also tried to power it using a i station 7 but no difference. I tried all the usual pressing of both menu and play buttons. Is it fixable?

Thanks for your tip. I tried leaving the ipod in the I -Station 7 overnight and then reconnected it to my PC> It asked if i wanted to reset to factory settings. I did this and then the Apple logo came back on .After that a very sad looking logo of an ipod came on with www.apple.com/support/ipod underneath. I feel that either burial or cremation is my option now for this old ipod.
