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.

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 attach more than one file at once in Yahoo! Mail using Firefox 15.0

This problem appeared right after the new and improoved Flash Player was installed, when using Firefox 14.0.1. Problem persists with the new Firefox 15.0 (installed, not updated). It also takes a long time for Firefox to load the Attach button. I don't have this problem if I use Chrome.

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 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.

Can i open more than one Resultset object

hi in my program i have to retrive data from three table and the data from three
table i have to use in another one
i wanna know that can we open more than one ResultSet object within one
try{
}catch{] block ( i means ResultSet rs = st.excuteQuery(query) more than one time for different -different tables)
or there is any other way to do this

You can only have one active result set per statement at a time.
Depending on the driver you are using you might be able to have more than one active statement (and result set) on one connection. Or not.
Try catch has nothing to do with that.
If you are nesting result sets then it is likely you should be using a join (SQL) which would then only require one result set.

Can't Open more than One Internet Browser at a Time

I bought a Toshiba laptop this past spring which I use, offline, at the office. i've had a problem with it since the day I hooked it up to the internet the first time. I can't open more than one internet browser at a time. Windows 7. I had need to get online with it today and had forgotten about this problem.
I called Toshiba and they wanted to sign me up to some fee-based service. They said, without checking anything (or even asking me who I am, or what my computer serial number is) that I had a virus. Is there a virus going around that causes this problem? IF so, how could I possibly get it considering I bought this computer in a sealed box?
My AV software does not pick up any viruses. I use Avast.
Can anybody help me?
Thanks.

HT5622 can i open more than one email address

Can I open more than one email address on my icloud. I need a second address for work. Do I need a second appleID?

You can have only one iCloud email account for each iCloud account. You can create alias addresses liked to your account, but they will all deliver email to the same iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a).
If you want a separate email account, you will need to create a second iCloud account.

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 you open more than one tab?

I have CS 5.5 running on Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit. My Bridge is up to date (ver. 4.1.0.54). In the Content window I was wondering if you can open more than one tab?

No you can't, A Bridge window is limited to a max of 3 colomns and you can view only one 1 panel of its kind. You can have multiple windows open and have them set to customized workspaces.
If you want different folders showing in the content window you can create a workspace with a window sized half the screen. Choose the amount of colomns and the width and height of the by placing the cursor on the borders until you see a move sign. drag until your happy, change the order or place of panels by dragging the tab to a new location (1 blue line appearing means a place in between, 4 blue lines means nesting in panel as a tab. Change te order of tabs with dragging. When you are happy save it as a workspace and open a second window and choose the same custom workspace for it.
However I would choose to use the folder panel and drag and drop the files from content window to the wanted folder in the folder panel. But you can choose the way you want.

How can others open more than one form? [Was: Sandra]

How do you use Forms Central? I am the only account that can open more than one form. I have added all the people in contacts. When they login, they have the upgrade option for more than one form. We have an order number and end user id. Thanks for the help.

Hi,
It sounds like you have a paid account and the other users have free accounts.
You will have to share the form with the other users, please see this link for more detailed on how to share a form with others:
http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-3351
All the free account users should be able to open all the forms that you have shared with them. Free users can only create one form on their own.
Hope this helps,
Thanks

Can I open more than one instance of CC5.2?

In my experience, I have not been able to find a way to open more than one instance of CC5.2. If I want to run an SOD user analysis and an SOD role analysis, for example, I have to run one and wait for the results to return before I can run the next analysis.
If I open a new instance of Internet Explorer and type in the url for CC5.2 while CC5.2 is already running in a separate instance, it overwrites whatever is running and reopens CC5.2 all over again.
In CC4.0 I was able to open multiple SAP sessions and run multiple SOD reports. I understand 5.2 is a web app, but it seems the code should be smart enough to allow me to open multiple IE instances to run multiple analyses.
Am I missing something?
Thanks,
Sandy

Hi Sandy,
What about option to run your analysis jobs on the background ?
You can still be in your IE session, but schedule several analysis to run on the background. On completion of the jobs, you'll be able to check output results for each of them.
Advantage of this is that it also doesn't depend on your link between your machine and CC server which could be an issue for the foreground jobs.
Best regards,
Laziz
