File opening multiple times in a book

Hello.
Something has gone crazy in indesign for me. Not sure if its the recent update.
In osx if you open a book and double clikc one of the files, it opens, if you double click it again, it opens another copy, changes made in one reflect in the other. If you make lots of changes to the first document then open it again by accident it overwrites all the changes you made.
I can open many multiples of the same document and its totally confusing me!
Anyone else spotting this bug?

Hi Rob
Thanks for getting back
From what I can see there are no links to other documents.
I often copy and paste elements like images from one document to the next
The multiple files that open - open as 'Untitled' indesign docs - almost like they're new documents or from a template.
They open very rapidly - around 10-20 - if you try to close them sometimes new ones open. This often repeats
I have to force quit indesign.
It doesn't happen all the time - so I think it may be to do with links somewhere along the line.
I've noticed when I work on DPS indesign docs - they often open the original 'source' for print design docs in the same way. The same multiple file opening of the same doc happens
Let me know if I should look anywhere in particular - I'll try and repeat the glitch and get more info
Many Thanks

Same file opening multiple times

When I open a folio file in DPS, it opens the same file 100 times. I've tried reinstalling and force quitting InDesign but every time I reopen InDesign the file keeps opening multiple times. What can I do to stop this?

There are hyperlinks on all of the folio pages. I'm using InDesign CC and the error starts when I open the Folio Overlays panel. This panel is no longer included in the Digital Publishing interface.

Dps file automatically opening multiple times when working on another file in the same folio?

dps file automatically opening multiple times when working on another file in the same folio? Can anybody please help

Can you try resetting your preferences first and see if that helps - see Troubleshooting 101: Replace, or "trash" your InDesign preferences

The finder is opening multiple times 30 as well as creating 40 to 50 files at random while reading mail.

The finder will open multiple times 30 plus as well as create 40+ blank file folders on the desktop at random. Please help!

Read LabVIEW Measurement File VI Multiple Times

I Get Error 4 When Calling the Read LabVIEW Measurement File VI Multiple Times. I've searched and found a paper on this issue. http://digital.ni.com/public.nsf/allkb/0576444C8FD4DC0F86256E83007FA540
So I have a question: Is there a way to fix this to I can still Calling the Read LabVIEW Measurement File VI Multiple Times?
Thank you.

The paper you linked makes it very clear. The Read File Express VI cannot do what you want. Either use the low level File VIs and functions or open the front panel of the Express VI and then modify it to do what you want. Most likely the Express VI uses the low level file functions internally, but it may have a lot of extra code to handle special cases. It is probably easier to use the low level functions and you learn how to use them.
Look at the Examples under Fundamentals >> File Input and Output. Something there may do most of what you want and even if it does not, the exampels will help you learn how to use the file resources in LV.

Photoshop is opening multiple times...WHY??? (please help).

When I double click on an image (from Bridge for example) to open in Photoshop it will open up CS6 and then sometimes when I open another image, instead of opening up in the same open Photoshop program, it will open up an additional Photoshop program. Both CS6, Version 13.0.6 x64. Super frustrating when sitting with a client and trying to add an image to a document and it opens up in a different program... Is there a way to see where Photoshop is opening from? Why would CS6 be opening multiple times???
I don't think I noticed this happening before I upgraded to Mavericks (yes, this has been happening for a while). I also have a back-up program called SuperDuper that mirrors my system on a separate hard drive. Could Photoshop be opening from there, too?
Thanks for any possible help!

JFrame opening multiple times - strange bug

Hi there
I'm having this problem whereby a window (a JFrame) is opened multiple times - it works as follows:
- I've got one JFrame which is opened via a button in my main JFrame (I'll call it JFrame 1)
- A second one is opened from within the first in a similar way (JFrame 2)
- The first time one opens JFrame 1 one can open and close JFrame 2 fine as many times as one wants
- But when one closes JFrame 1 (this with JFrame 2 closed) and then reopens it (JFrame 1) and then clicks the button to open JFrame 2, JFrame 2 then opens twice - except one of them contains no components while the other contains everything it is meant to
- The same thing happens as many times as I close JFrame 1 - except that when it is closed again JFrame 2 opens 3 times, then 4 and so on
This is what I have for JFrame 1 (the actionlistener in the main window just calls showDebateRound(int roundID):
public void showDebateRound(int roundID) {
        JFrame roundWindow=new JFrame("Round Draw");
        roundWindow.setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
        showRoundTitle.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Dialog", 1, 18));
        showRoundText.setColumns(20);
        showRoundText.setEditable(false);
        showRoundText.setRows(5);
        showRoundScroller.setViewportView(showRoundText);
        //showRoundPrint.setEnabled(false);
        //work out the title
        showRoundTitle.setText("Round: "+getRoundTitle(roundID));
        //work out the draw output
        showRoundTexts = "Motion: "+round[roundID].getMotion()+"\n\n";
        for (int i=0;i<debateCount;i++) {
            if (debate.getRoundID()==roundID) {
showRoundTexts=showRoundTexts+"Prop: "+team[debate[i].getTeamOneID()].getTeamName()+"\nOpp: "+team[debate[i].getTeamTwoID()].getTeamName()+"\n\n";
showRoundText.setText(showRoundTexts);
//layout

roundWindow.getContentPane().setLayout(layout);

//debate round only actionlisteners
ShowRoundEnterResults.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
enterResults();
}JFrame 2 is constructed in the same way as JFrame 1
Does anyone have any idea why this could be happening? I can post more code if need be. Thanks.

hiding the form is probably more efficient than creating a new one each timeI rather think OP's both hiding the form and creating a new one each time.
I would really like to know why it is not workingYeah, so would I.But where's the code that brings up the second JFrame? the actionListener.actionPerformed of the button that opens it?
Better still, post a SSCCE limited to the minimum code that shows the problem.

Outlook opens multiple times

Outlook opens multiple times on my macbook pro. How can I get this to stop?

Problems such as this are normally caused by javascript, so I can only suggest that you check your javascript code, especially those associated with the onLoad event.

Jnlp file called multiple times

We're trying to pass HTTP parameters to our JNLP file (which is created by a .jsp file). When we run webstart from the command line (or a a web page), it seems like the JNLP file gets called multiple times. The first time our parameters are there, after that they are not. Why does webstart call the JNLP file multiple times? Has anyone else seen this.
We're running Tomcat 4.x on Linux.
From the command line we typed:
javaws "http://localhost/helloWorld.jsp?hello=1&world=2"
Tomcat Output:
DEBUG: hello=1&world=2
DEBUG: null
DEBUG: null
DEBUG: null
DEBUG: null
DEBUG: null
DEBUG: null
DEBUG: null
JSP File:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC

Hello World Source:
package test;

import java.awt.event.*;
public class HelloWorldApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Hello World");
frame.getContentPane().add(new JLabel("Hello World", JLabel.CENTER), BorderLayout.CENTER);
frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {
System.exit(0);
frame.setSize(200,150);
frame.setVisible(true);
}

I am seeing this exact same problem, also creating the JNLP via a JSP. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

Template opens multiple times in Firefox

Help!
I made a template in Dreamweaver CS4 on Mac os10.4.11. When I preview the page in Firefox 3.0 it opens multiple blank pages and only stops adding pages when I quit.
The template opens correctly in Safari.
How do I make it stop?
Thank you

Files Modified Multiple Times Suddenly Won't Print

I've now had this happen for the 2nd or 3rd time. Background: Have a file, might be a SS, might be WP, which is used over and over again. They will usually have graphics (photos) in them, which change, and the text in the WP will change month to month. The SS one is simply re-calced periodically with a new starting date, no other changes.
After some undetermined length of time, they will will no longer print. You get no response from the printer and, when investigated, you find 'All Jobs Stopped'. The stoppage occurs pretty much as soon as the printer (which never reacts in any way) is being accessed.
Printer works fine on other files, once jobs are started again. Things I've tried are logging out, restarting, using 'Save as:' on the failing file, removing the graphics and other elements, but nothing seems to work. Once they lose the ability to print I've never been able to regain it and have had to replace the file completely.
Is there something else I can/should be trying here? Have any ideas of why this seems to keep on happening?
BTW, it's 10.4.9 and AW 6.2.9.

Hello
This is a behaviour which was described several times.
My guess is that the "Print Record" saved in the file is corrupted.
As you wrote about WP and SS documents, there is a simple trick.
Open the document in AW6.
Use the "Save As…" menu item to save the doc as an AppleWorks 5 document.
Open the new doc with AW6.
I'm quite sure that the fresh doc will print without problem.
The explanation is simple.
When re-encoding the doc to save it as an AppleWorks 5 one, AW6 rebuilds the entire structure of the doc BUT drop the print record.
So, the new doc will start with a default clean new print record.

Firefox opens multiple times (many windows) when click once, even after a reinstall in Windows 7.

There really isn't much more to say, except that the situation occurs even after restarts.

The cause is most likely the preferences file in your profile folder. That file contains your personal settings, so it doesn't get deleted when you reinstall/update Firefox. The reset feature also retains your preferences file.
Instead of doing a mass delete of all your settings, you can try identify the culprits and reset them individually.
# In the [[Awesome Bar - Find your bookmarks, history and tabs when you type in the address bar|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Click on the '''Status''' column, to sort your preferences by status, and group all the ''user set'' preferences together. They should appear in bold.
# If you see any preference that look suspicious, just '''right-click''' on it, and select '''Reset'''.
If you're still not sure which ones to reset, you can post most of them here easily. Go to '''Help > Troubleshooting Information''' then click '''Copy text to Clipboard'''. Open a reply to this post, and go to '''Edit > Paste''' to paste the info from your Troubleshooting Information page.

Office Documents are able to open multiple times

I have a few users who can open Microsoft Office documents more than once. The warning prompt to the user to alert them that opening the document the second time will cause changes to be disregarded does not pop up or warn the user.
Once the document is open, the 1st document can not be saved even if it has changes and saving the 2nd document will overwrite the 1st document.
Why is this standard warning message not working? Any ideas?

I'm not familiar with this particular message, just spitballing here..
What's the scale of the message not appearing? By that I mean, is it possible the few that are experiencing this have already selected the typical "Do not show this again" box? (I'm not even sure that is an option, just putting the idea out there).
Also, when this box is supposed to pop up, are there any errors in the browser window, or something that might be blocking it?
EDIT - Nevermind.. After messing with it myself I realize that the error is from Office, not the browser, and indeed does not have the option of not showing again. Back to the drawing board!
