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 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 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.

There's a handy reference for keyboard shortcuts here:
http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Keyboard-shortcuts
That Windows key turns out to be useful, try Windows-D to show the desktop
To open a new browser window, Ctrl-n while in the browser will probably work, or it your browser supports tabs, try Ctrl-t

Can I open more than one Pages document at a time with the IOS app?

This sounds crazy, but I can't find how to open more than one Pages document at the same time when using the Pages app on IOS.
It's easy on the Mac, but on my iPad? Can't seem to do it!
I'm working on a project where I'm writing one document, but having to frequently cross-refer to another. Having to continually open and close each document, one at a time, on my iPad is driving me mad!
Am I missing something really obvious? Can anyone help please?

Many thanks, that's really useful. I've saved the document I'm referring to as a PDF and can now work exactly as you described.
As you say, it's not elegant, but it does work
Just need to ensure my fingertips are very dry, as I fear any slight 'catching' with a four finger swipe and my iPad will fly across the room / train / office

Can't add more than one music file at a time

i used to be able to use "add file to library" to add several newly downloaded songs to itunes all at once by highlighting several song files. all of a sudden, i can no longer do this. i have to add them one at a time. it allows me to highlight more than one, but when i click on "OK" no songs are added.
anyone know why?

I can not open more than one firefox page at a time

I usually run 2-3 firefox separate pages during in internet session. Now I can only open one page at a time.

Hello solardave, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* On Windows you can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
[[Image:FirefoxSafeMode|width=520]]
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
[[Image:Safe Mode Fx 15 - Win]]
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Opening more than one PDF file at a time causes corrupted rendering

For one of our users, opening any PDF file by itself works fine. If any PDF file is open and he tries to open a second PDF, the computer hangs for 15-30 seconds and then when a second Adobe Reader window comes up, the document display incorrectly with lots of graphical artifacts. The first PDF file opened continues to function normally. If we close Adobe Reader and open the second PDF from before, it displays normally without problem. Opening a second PDF (any PDF at all) again causes a brief hang and then it displays incorrectly.
We have tried uninstalling Adobe Reader, deleting the Adobe folders from Program Files and Program Files\Common Files, deleting the Adobe registry keys from HKCU\Software and HKLM\Software and reinstalling version 9.4 from scratch, but that has not corrected the problem. The user indicated this didn't occur in Adobe 8.x but has been a problem since updating to 9.x. I am not willing to install such an old and vulnerable version of the program on his computer just so it will work as expected. Please let me know if there are any specific causes and/or resolutions for this problem.

It turns out that it was the 2D graphics acceleration feature in Adobe Reader. The problems would go away when disabling the acceleration but went away when the video driver was updated. It would be easy to assume it was a problem with the original video driver, but it's not always such an open and shut case. It could be that Adobe Reader just doesn't properly identify what acceleration is supported before it tries to use it.

Can't open more than one Macromedia product at a time

I haven't really used my Studio products much other that
editing web pages. Well now, I'm working on a site that uses flash,
but for some reason I can't have both Dreamweaver (MX 2004) and
Flash open at the same time. If I try to open a secondary MX 2004
program, it'll load the splash screen and then exit. The process
won't keep running. Is this normal? This is frustrating because I
can't work with two programs at the same time.

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.

How to open more than one RAW-File by drag&drop/doubleclick with CS2?

Hello,
is it possible to open more than one RAW-file from iPhoto with Photoshop's RAW-converter in just one single step? If I drag&drop my selection to my Photoshop-Icon, PS opens just the iPhoto-created library-JPGs of the RAW-files but not the RAWs itself (I've turned out the copyying of the imported photos to the iPhoto-library. Instead iPhoto seems to create a JPG for the library from every RAW I import). If I doubleclick a selection of RAWs in iPhoto just the doubleclicked RAW-File will be opened in Photoshop. Is it possible to select more than one RAW-file in iPhoto and get Photoshop to open all the selected RAWs but not the JPGs? It would make my work a lot easier... thank you.

hello
try selecting the photos that you want however many- go, File then Export.
you can make all your file selections image size etc and then save them direct to your PS file.
hope this helps.

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.

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?

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.
