Cannot open more than one PDF at a time

Hi, when I open a PDF my laptop automatically closes any other PDF's open - I have uninstalled & reinstalled all Adobe products but still have the same issue - help!

What has changed (a few versions of Reader ago) is that instead of each PDF opening in a part of one window, Reader opens a separate window for each. (A lot of people don't like this, but it's the way Microsoft recommended at that time).
Now, each of these PDFs-in-a-window can fill the screen, or can be smaller. You can use Window > Tile for example, or resize so you have a bit of an overlap. You should also be able to choose between the different windows right in the task bar by holding down the mouse on the Adobe Reader icon.

After i downloaded Firefox 7, I cannot open more than one page at a time. I have done everything you suggested about ad-on, etc. Other people are having problems. Can I get reall help with this or should I just reload Firefox 4?

Firefox 7 is a dud. Cannot open more than one tab at a time, will not open additional pages. Nothing you suggested has worked.
Can I take down Firefox 7 and reload Firefox 4?
I need to talk with a live person! I am real disappointed with this.

Sorry there is no telephone support. You could try the IRC if you want a quick response, ( whilst it is [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/ask open] )
Firefox 4 is not supported, but firefox 3.6 is

There is a change to a preference which may help, post back with more details of your problems please.

Please help cannot open more than one window at a time.

Everything was working well but this morning I could not have more than one window (application or folder) open at a time.
As soon as I open one, the previously oppened one closes.
I tried restoring from Time Machine and also Lion altogether but this behaviour did not change.
I posted in the Imac forum as well but maybe this forum is more appropiate.
Thank you.

Another possiblity is that "Single Application Mode" has been set. This would be unusual as it normally takes a terminal command to set it. You can check by downloading the program TinkerTool from this site:
http://www.bresink.com/osx/0TinkerTool/download.php5
It's free and doesn't modify your system, just turns on or off the hidden options that are already there. Run it and look in the Dock tab and see if this option is checked. If so, uncheck it and click the relaunch dock button.

Adobe Reader XI won't open more than one PDF

The latest Adobe Reader (11.0.02) won't open more than one PDF at a time. Seems to require continual re-install for each open. And each time I install, it says the application is already present on my machine, yet I cannot find it anywhere. Any suggestions out there?
Elaine

Thanks for getting back to me, Pat. I need to go back to wherever I was and
remove the question. After I posted my question, I decided to delete all of
the Adobe applications on my computer and start overit worked.
I appreciate your concern,

Reader X shuts down when trying to open more than one pdf, or when clicking certain categories in settings

Until a few weeks ago I have never had a problem opening more than one pdf at a time. Now Reader just shuts down when I try to do so. The same thing happens when I click on the yellow highlighted categories in settings. All the other categories open fine.
Appreciate the help of anyone who can help me solve this.

I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

Since downloading the iOS on my iPad, I cannot download more than one pdf from mail to iBooks. I have to shut down y iPad and start again. Any suggestions?

Since downloading iOS on my new iPad, I cannot downlaod more than one pdf from mail into iBooks. I have to shut down my iPad and restart it to save a second pdf. Wasn't a problem with the old operating system. Any suggestions?

It seems that I have solved my issue by performing a full factory reset (erasing all content, something which I had hoped to avoid) restoring from an iCloud backup did not alleviate the issue, I had to set up as a new iPad.
Hopefully anyone else else who has this issue in the future will be able to find this.

It has been working fine, until i have tried it this evening.

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. how do i fix the problem

Firefox won't let me open more than one window at a time. It use to allow me to open multiple windows before but for no apparent reason it stopped. I uninstalled it and re-installed but I'm having the same problem. How do I fix the problem
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== several days ago

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

HT6114 I cannot select more than one message at a time to delete from the trash. Any ideas will be appreciated

I cannot select more than one message at a time to delete from the trash. I did not have this problem before I updated to Maverick. What am I doing wrong?

This works in many different ways and in lots of apps.
Hold down the command key and you can select from a list (leaving some not checked) to exclude them from the delete process.
To empty all of the trash folder use command-a keys to "select all" and then the delete key to remove them.

Or, just intall by new printer but do not Delcare it as the Default printer, I guess in this instance there would be NO default printer?
You may not even have the problem!
Have you installed the new printer yet?
There are many more people who don't see it happen than those who do.

How do i add more than one pdf at a time to profile manager books

How do I add more than one pdf at a time to profile manager books? When I browse to my pdf folder I can only select one pdf at a time. I have 500+ pdf files I need to add. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I hate having to add and address and then having to find the address and then add it to a group. thanks
no, there is no way to do that, sorry. you need to control-click on every email address one at a time and select "add to address book". if an email is in the address book already that option will not be there.

Cannot open more than one Firefox session

I am using Windows 7 on a PC. When I installed Firefox 3.6, I found that I could not open more than one session unless I deleted the process in Task Manager. When I reopened Firefox, it immediately said it had installed 6 plug-ins. It would then allow me to open a second Firefox session, but after this I could not open any more sessions. I do not have this problem with IE or Safari.
Why is it installing plug-ins without my asking for them?
Could the plug-in's be causing the problem of not allowing more than one session?
How can I have a clean Firefox program without plug-ins and one that will open any number of sessions like it used to be?

What happens when you right-click a link and use Open Link in New Window?

I started working for ChaCha, and now firefox will not work unless I manually close it in the process tree every time I want to use it. I also cannot open more than 1 page at a time.

I started working for ChaCha 11/26/2010, I had to download a program to take incoming questions.
Ever since then, Firefox will not work correctly, even if I am totally logged out of ChaCha, and the page is closed, if I try to open my browser using Firefox, it will not open, I have to go into the processor tree and manually end Firefox, then it will work, but it will only let me open 1 page at a time. For example I have Firefox open now, but if I go and click on the icon to open it in a new browser, it will not open, I either have to close this, or use IE-I HATE IE lol.
I cannot use the ChaCha add on you have because it is not for the new version of Firefox, please help, I love Firefox, but not being able to open more than one window/page at a time does not cut it, nor does having to manually stop it from processing. I have tried re-installing it too.
Thank you, Melinda

I should add that I face the same problem with Safari and Google Chrome.

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...".
