Can't open more than one file at a time

I am experiencing a strange bug in Dreamweaver CC.
When I try to open multiple files in DW, it opens the same file in multiple tabs. For example: I select index.html and login.html from the site root, then open. Instead of ending up with both files open, one in each tab, DW opens two tabs of the login.html. If I try to open a third file called main.css for example, it replaces the two existing tabs and opens a third tab, all with main.css.
This makes working on global site styles and pretty much anything very difficult.
Does anyone have a solution to this problem? I have all the latest updates to the software currently available.

Hello all,
I am aware that it's not typical DW behaviour. I have never experienced it in any previous versions either. I tried the new user account without success.
For reference: iMac 21"
Processor  2.7 GHz Intel Core i5
Memory  4 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
Graphics  AMD Radeon HD 6770M 512 MB
The system has more than enough power to run DW. I would like more power, but then wouldn't everyone...
So unfortunately I am no closer to a solution. Is this a forum that Adobe Support interacts with? Is there any way I can contact them for a solution directly?

  • Can't open more than one file at once (Indesign CS3)

    hi there
    I have to deal with a strange problem, every time (well actually randomly) I try to open more than one indesign file at once, indesign just stays in the background and I can't get it to show up.
    the only thing I can to is force quite the application and restart indesign. Sometimes I'm able to see one of the open documents but I can't do anything with it (as there are no tools and no other indesign windows).
    Im not the only one having this problem, my work mate just updated his osx from 10.4 to 10.5, and now he is having the same problems...
    any suggestions why that is?
    cheers
    (my system: mac 2x2.66ghz dual-core intel xeon, 1gb ram, osx 10.5.2, indesign cs3
    my work mates system: mac G5, 1gb ram, indesign cs3, osx 10.5.2)

    Every system has issues when its first released.
    What's the point of jumping to a new system on a production machine when everything works perfectly in the old system?
    Monitor these forums and other boards and as soon as Apple and Adobe have a fix jump to the new system.

  • Photoshop can't open more than one graphic at a time without crashing

    I get the error:
    The instruction at "0x7c918af2" referenced memory at "0x00000010". The memory could not be "written".
    Anytime I try to open more than one image in Photoshop at a time, regardless of how I do it - doesn't matter if I choose the image and "open in photoshop" or if I am in photoshop and go to "file/open".
    It's Photoshop CS3. I have already uninstalled, restarted the computer and reinstalled. I tried to "repair/change" from Windows, but it asks for the CS3 cd and then CS4, which I don't have since I'm using CS3. 
    This is quite frustrating as it would be nice to be able to merge photos and the myriads of other things you can do with multiple images at once, if opening them does not crash your program.

  • Can we open more than one  "folder" at a time in Bridge?

    When I click on a folder icon, the images appear in the Bridge workspace. Then when I click on another, different, folder icon, the previously displayed images are gone, and only the second folder's images appear. A priori, this seems to be an unnecessary limitation on functionality, and therefore I presume that I just do not know how to do what is called for: To use the functionality of Bridge for more than the contents of only one folder at a time.
    Yes, I know that I could, using, say, Windows Explorer, create a sort of "megafolder" into which I copied the contents of several folders, but this seems to be a kludge which should not be necessary.
    Did the designers of Bridge not contemplate that users would want to operate on the contents of more than one folder at a time? I presume that I am just ignorant of how to achieve what should be a normal functionality; seeing more than the contents of just one folder at a time.
    Please alleviate my ignorance.

    Quick way: Press Ctrl+N (Cmd-N mac) to open a new Bridge window. Open the second folder there.
    Not so quick way: Select menu File => New Window. Open the second folder there.
    If you MUST view all of the files in one window, all of your files MUST be in folders nested within the same parent folder. In that case:
    1) View the parent folder in bridge.
    2) Open the Filter palette.
    3) Click the microscopic button in the top left corner of the Filter palette, which looks like a folder with a "No" symbol on it. The tooltip label for that button is, "Click to view all items...".

  • I just upgraded to Mountain Lion.  Now I can't open more than one website at a time.  When I do the first site, minimized and in the dock, is taken up by the second one.

    I just upgraded my computer from Snow Leopard to Mountain Lion.  I used to be able to have as many websites open as I wished.  Now when I open a website and minimize it, it minimizes and moves to the dock just like it used to do.  But now when I open a second website, it takes the place of the first one down in the dock that was minimized.  I can't open more than 1 website at time now.

    There is something basic going on that unfortunately has me stumped.
    Before you spend the $20 please try creating a new user, for testing purposes:
    Creating a temporary account to isolate user-specific problems: Isolating an issue by using another user account
    That is easy enough to accomplish. If Safari and the Dock behave as you expect while using that account, it will help determine the cause. Please report the results of this test.
    Delete the temporary account after you finish testing.
    Many of those features I mentioned are new in Mountain Lion, and represent a significant change from Snow Leopard. Though you should certainly continue to use your Mac the way you have been accustomed to using it, you may find using Mountain Lion's new features advantageous. If you are fortunate enough to have an Apple Store nearby, you would benefit by taking advantage of Apple's many free workshops: https://www.apple.com/retail/learn/
    Otherwise you may find yourself spending the $20 often. The help available here is often better than Apple's. It is not always correct, but it is always free.

  • Pages 5.0--I can't open more than one document at a time.

    Pages 5--I can't open more than 1 document/file.  I can look up files in iCloud/computer, click to open, but the file never opens in Pages 5.  I have to quit Pages, reopen to get another document (but still cannot open more than that first doc).  I still have Pages 4.3, and I can open multiple documents.  Is this a bug, or is there some funky routine I have to go through?

  • Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0- can't open more than 1 file at a time!

    Hi,
    We have a computer with Adobe Photoshop Elements 6.0 at our office. It has worked for a few years just fine, but not something is wrong- whenever we try to open more than 1 document to edit or combine them, the program says there has been an error and immediately closes. Please let us know if there is anything we can do to solve this. We have elements 4.0 and 5.0 on other computers and those seem to be working just fine.
    Thanks,
    Amy @ Orfield

    Sorry. But Elements 6 wasw a crosssroads. The database did change!

  • Can't open more than one document at a time

    I have to open a few text documents. No matter of they are three or six, sometimes it will open but most of times, they won't. Also, Pages won't start after jumping for a while in the Dock.
    If you open the documents from the Open menu it will work but the Dock icon is buggy.
    There is no way to fix this as this may be a bug that sometimes happens and other times does not…
    But thanks for reading.

    Thank you again for taking the time to reply again in this topic.
    "The latest" Pages app only can be… the latest version released, but again I can confirm as in my previous comment, YES the version is 4.3. There can be only *one* latest version possible! Pages 08 can't be the "latest".
    Aside, yes, as I commented I created the Pages icon dock again but the problem is still happening. Also, I'm referring to full documents, not parts of them. One of three documents won't open, for example.
    Computer is up to date, permissions are Ok, etc. No problem on maintenance.
    The documents are .doc or .docx, not templates, not uncommon documents, not .dotx files. Just text document they made using Windows. I'm a graphic designer and I receive the localizations to translate Photoshop designs into 5 or 6 languages, so they send me those texts in one document each language, so the files are small, 1 page documents with no images, macros or anything else than a few text lines.
    I've been using Pages for many years now and can't remember when it started to behave like this. Sometimes I just open those documents with Text Edit because it's faster and never fails.
    If I open the documents dragging them to the dock icon, one by one, with Pages all of them will open fine. If I use the menu option, the documents will all open fine. It just fails when opening a bunch of them using the dock. Sometimes three out of five are open, in rare cases all of them are open or Pages is just stalled and won't do anything.
    One example. I dragged all of these documents to Pages icon in the dock.
    Five of them opened instantly except the last one: "Traducción mailing Son Antem_RU.doc".
    If I drag this single document to the dock, it opens just fine like all the others. If I choose this one and 4 others, all of the five docs open fine. It looks like if there was a limit to open documents at a time from Pages dock icon, but this doesn't make any sense, I can open 15 documents at the same time from Photoshop, for example.
    If I open all these 6 items from the menu File > Open… all of them are opened, no problems.
    This eandom behaviour with no sense at all made me wanted to know what's happening with my Pages! It's really bothering me. Maybe I'll just have to change my habits and start using the File menu but I'm more of a drag and drop person.
    Thanks for your attention and bearing with this little, but annoying problem.

  • I can't open more than one website at a time.

    Whenever I'm surfing the web, if I open another tab and try to load another page, it always tells me that the page cannot be loaded. I've tried it on other computers, and it's not a problem.

    Hi,
    Launch Firefox in [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/safe+mode Safe Mode]. All extensions and themes will be disabled. Now try to open multiple windows and/or tabs. If it works, it proves you have a corrupt [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Profiles#new profile] probably caused by a bad extension (or upgrade).
    To make a new profile:
    * Close Firefox
    * Click on windows start button
    * %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\ in the Search box at the bottom of the Start menu (without hitting Enter).
    * A list of profiles will appear
    * Change the name of the "default" folder
    * Restart Firefox
    If this solved your problem, you can install your addons, or just copy them from the old default folder (which you have changed the name) to the new one.
    Kind regards,
    Joren

  • Can you open more than one ER file at a time?

    I was wondering if you can open more than one file at a time in ER?
    I attempted it, however, it does not appear that I can do that like other Adobe products.  (If not, it would be  nice to have the ability of working, or opening more than one file at time within ER.)

    Thanks for the suggestion!  We definitely agree that having multiple files open is a key enhancement and have it in our roadmap for future updates.

  • Can't print more than one job at a time.

    I am trying to print to either a HP DesignJet 1055cm plotter or a HP LaserJet 5000N. I can't send more than one file at a time. If i don't wait until the current job starts printing, the next one won't print. For example if I sent five files one right after the other, I might get 1, 4 and 5. I don't think it's a printer problem because it happens on two different printers, and it doesn't happen when I print from my PC. Any idea what could cause this?

    My work around is to put all the jobs "on hold" in the print settings or just "stop jobs" on the printer window.
    Then I click on each print job in the que and let them print one at a time. This way I can at least quit the program and move onto the next thing.

  • Can't open more than one InDesign file at a time.

    InDesign CS6
    Sometimes, when I try to open a second or third InDesign file I get this message:
    [Cannot open "file-name.indd" please close one or more Adobe InDesign documents or books or libraries and try again]
    If I close all open files, it lets me open one file.
    If I quit, and restart Id, I can open more than one file for a while, then it starts to show this error message again.
    Interestingly, it was doing this same behavior in Id CS 5.5.
    I was hoping that upgrading to CS6 would cure it of this.
    Any ideas?

    As a general comment, most users don't have a problem opening multiple files, so this is probably something local on all of your systems (though not necessarilty the same thing).
    Standard things to try for troubleshooting are removing all third-party plugins, including any font manager auto-activation, creating a new user account and try that, trash your prefs (see Replace Your Preferences) and start your machine with background programs disabled.

  • PSE-7 won't allow opening of more than one file at a time.

    I can only open one file at a time in PSE-7.  I just downloaded the trial upgrade from PSE-6.  If I try to open more than one file, PSE crashes and windows wants to send a report to Microsoft.  Elements works fine with only one file.  Anyone got any idea's ?

    Try to exit out of Elements 7 and go back in to your Organizer.  Open a file and choose to edit it in full edit.   Then leave it there and go back to Organizer and choose another picture to go through the same process.  Now you should have both pictures showing in your bin at the bottom of the edit screen which you can toggle back and forth to as you edit each.  If you want them both in the edit window itself you can you to the Window tab - Image - and choose to tile them or cascade them.   Good luck, hope this works.

  • Can not color label more than one file at a time

    Hi,
    I've had this problem since 10.6.6-ish, i can not color label more than one file at a time in the Finder.
    Wether i select two, twenty or twohundred only one file gets color labeled.
    It doesn't seem to matter if i assign a color label through the File menu or right click > label.
    Figured a re-install might fix this but it hasn't (even a clean install without restoring any kind of backup).
    Does anyone else have this issue and/or a fix for it?
    Thanks,
    Jay

    Aaaaanyone ?
