Can I have two versions of Safari on one machine?

The question first, then the explanation for the question: Can I have both Safari 5 and Safari 6 on my machine and run them at the same time?
I hate Safari 6 & 7 because they combine the search and URL into one bar, which really annoys me. It requires an extra step when I type in the direct URL I want, because instead of returning the URL, it goes to a search page, and then I have to click the site I want. Annoying. So I have not upgraded from Safari 5 on my iMac, which I use nearly all the time. I have tried Firefox because it still has the search and URL boxes separate, but I also like the little orange arrow in Safari 5 that quickly takes me back to my original search when I've ended up on rabbit trails in my searching and I want to go back to where I was -- Firefox does not have this. (I dislike Firefox in general, anyway.)
However, now I'm finding that some websites are beginning to warn me that my browser (Safari 5) is too old and may not work properly. Now I have found a site for which indeed that is true -- a site I regularly use for my job, and a company which says they will no longer offer support for issues on Safari 5. One screen is split into two, and I could always scroll the two sides separately, but after an update to the site, now they will not scroll separately. I have a MacBook Air, which I rarely use, and tested the same page on Safari 6 -- it works on Safari 6. Thus, the company will refuse to help me and tell me to just update my browser.
I really like Safari, EXCEPT for the new versions' combined search/URL bar, so I want to keep using Safari 5. Thus, I want to know if I can have both Safari 5 and 6 on my machine at all, and if so, then I want to know if I can have them both open at the time, for example, if I give them different names (Safari 5 and Safari 6, rather than just Safari).
This is for my iMac, which is running Lion 10.7.5

>>I could not see this reply in Safari 5, neither by refreshing the page nor by clicking "Latest reply," which did nothing.
That's a very common issue with the software that runs these discussions, and usually nothing to do with the browser. Pasting a single character reply, often reveals the missing item(s); as does viewing the thread without signing in first.

Is it possible to have two versions of Muse on one Machine? WhenI open Muse from my program menu in WIndows 7 it comes up the way I am used to. I did an upgrade a week or so ago and now I have an Adobe Muse CC 2014 on my desktop. WhenI open the application that way the GUI interface looksw totally different, more like Illustrator. What is that all about?

Since posting the above, I have resolved a sensible work-around in regard to ebookstores which prefer us to have separate accounts for our separate Adobe IDs.
However, I really would appreciate it if anyone here can confirm that a DRM controlled book does actually become associated with a particular Adobe ID account at the time of first download to Digital Editions on that PC/device.
Two large book stores have said using my account with them to download books to our two separate Adobe IDs is OK, but I don't want to find my husband is unable to open his downloaded books.
Thank you folks for any advice you can give,
Sue

Can I have two versions of firefox at the same time?

Hi,
Probably a dumb question but can I have two versions of Firefox on my system at the same time?
The reason is because of Add Ons that are not compatible with v4. I'd like to be able to close v4 when I need to use an Add On in v3.
Thanks.

You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
The following links show how to do this:
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Creating_a_new_Firefox_profile_on_Windows
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Shortcut_to_a_specific_profile
* http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox
* https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/firefox-sync (only needed for Firefox 3.6, it is built into Firefox 4)

Can I have two versions of firefox? i.e. one for work and one for home use. I use Windows xp
I would like to start fresh with a new firefox for my work only so I can keep my work related bookmarks etc separate from my at home browsing.

Yes - are you wanting to run 2 profiles on the same machine? See https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Managing-profiles on how to create a new profile. You then just choose which profile you want to use each time you open Firefox.

Yes. The second one can be installed on an internal or external drive, but can't be one that the computer wouldn't be able to run if installed on the internal drive.

CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

CAN YOU HAVE TWO I TUNES ACCOUNT ON ONE COMPUTER?

The problem with making separate accounts is that this is a laptop, so likely not a huge hard drive, and if the three iTunes libraries need to have a lot of the same music (because everyone or two or three like some of the same stuff) you end up with double or triplicate copies of the music on the hard drive eating up drive space. Since they don't use his laptop normally, creating more accounts (with all the associated files and drive space usage each account would eat up) it probably isn't worth it.
Instead, the best approach is like Chris said, to make playlists for the girls in the main library and then set up the various iPod to either sync everything (if big enough) or sync only specific playlists (if not big enough).
Alternatively, they can set their iPods to manual syncing and then when Dad is visiting they can hook up their iPods and "shop" the library and drag in whatever they want to add to the iPods and delete what they no longer want.

Can you have two slides shows on the one interactive page?

I'm just new at learning interactive pdfs in indesign so sorry if this is common knowledge. I know how to create a slide show on a page, but can you have two slide shows on the one page or more for that matter? (Ideally I need 3.) Each slide show has its own set of images and buttons.

HT204053 can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

can you have two separate iCloud accounts on one iMac device?

You can have only one iCloud "user configuration" per local user on the Mac. Who the local user belongs to doesn't mind. Since it's a local user it's not related with who actually uses it. So let's say you want to set up Photo streaming using your iCloud user, just configure iCloud (under System Preferences) the same way you did on your phone and you're done.
But, beware: if you're only interested in synching photos, uncheck everything else when configuring iCloud on the Mac, otherwise you will merge, for example, your husband contacts, calendar and mail with those on your phone.
If you want to avoid any problems you can easily create another local user on the Mac with your name, under System Preferences, System, Users & Groups. After you create the user, logoff. The Mac will ask if you want to disable autologin (since there's more than one user that can log in now), answer yes and you will be presented with a logon screen. Click on your account name, insert the password and configure iCloud to sync with your phone.

Can you have two separate iTunes files on one computer?

I gave my daughters each an old iPOD. One is 20 GB and the other is 60 GB. I take an iBOOK laptop with me when I visit so I can update them. In the past, they shared the 20 GB iPOD only. Now I have a problem as one iPOD can store a lot more than the other. Is there any way to have two separate iTUNES files on one iBOOK computer, one with the songs for the 20 GB iPOD, and the other for the 60 GB iPOD?
