Hello - how do I have more than one app window open at a time on OS X 10.9.1

Hello - how do I have more than one app window open at a time on OS X 10.9.1?  I do not want to hold the option key to have multiple apps open on my screen.  Thanks.

Finder enhnacements installed? = no.  I did a reinstall of Mavericks, not a full clean install = no help. Searched for "single-app mode" in Spotlight and the web, no luck.
With Safari open on screen, from dock, opened iTunes and Safari does not show on screen.  Open Word from doc and iTunes is not on screen. 
Attached some screen shots if these help.

  • More Than One App Window Open At A Time

    Hi,
    Having just done a complete fresh Erase & Install of OS X 10.6, after having had 10..4.11, I find that if I have more than one applications window open with another applications window on the screen ~ say a Finder window, and a Photoshop window, although if I select the "Show All" command, I can see them together on screen, but if I select either of the windows, the other applications window disappears ~ and it's driving me nuts ~ IYSWIM?
    Although the disappearing or hidden window is useful, at times I find I need to drag something from one apps window to another. But if I try that, as soon as I select the item I wish to drag into the other app, that applications window disappears.
    I know I'm being dense, but I just cannot sort it out. Can any kind soul please help or advise?
    Many Thanks

    No extra applications had been installed, just the OS X install, so to save time in the long term, I decided to reinstall OS X again, and now the problem is fixed.
    With regards to your comments that an Erase & Install is a waste of time, I think thats a bit of a sweeping statement. As it depends on the situation and the users computer status. If you install programs on a regular basis, for say beta testing, then you can end up with a lot of crud in there. An erase & Install returns your machine to pristine condition. The important thing to remember is to plan well, and make good backups of your data, prefs and settings etc.
    Thanks for responding all the same.

  • How do I have more than one safari screen open on ipad ios5

    I need o toggle between two Internet sites.  How I do that o iPad ios5?

    You no longer have thumbnails in Safari in iOS 5 if that is what you are looking for. You do have to tap the + sign to open a new tab.
    Other browsers offer thumbnail views - iCab Mobile has thumbnails and a whole lot of other useful features as well.

  • How do I have more than one web page on at a time?

    I can only watch or use one web page at a time. I f I try to get on something else it will knock me out of what I was doing on the other page.

    reboot in safemode and repeat the same behavior you did previously. If it works then it's likely an addon issue or extension causing your problem.
    '''Try the Firefox Safe Mode''' to see how it works there. The Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.''
    ''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
    * You can open the Firefox 4.0+ Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
    * Or use the Help menu item and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
    ''Don't select anything right now, just use "'Start in Safe Mode"''
    ''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shift key) to open it again.''
    '''''If it is good in the 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.
    ''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''

  • More than one iTunes window open

    I'm sure that I used to be able to have more than one iTunes window open at a time. I could have one showing the contents of my library and the other the contents of my iPod. This way by manually syncing, I could see what I'd already got on the iPod while browsing through the library to select new tunes to transfer. Has this feature been lost during a recent iTunes update (now running v8.1) or have I just forgotten how to do this - I'm sure it was easy to do?
    Neil

    It's OK - looks like you can't do this with a shuffle, I can do it with any of my other iPods plugged in but not the shuffle.

  • My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8.

    My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8. I have tried updating to mavericks through the mac app store but after it downloading for a day i got an error message saying there was a problem with the download. The same thing happens if i try to update itunes or the mac app store. After research, i have also tried repairing disk permissions, but every time they do get repaired the 'repair' button still appears, i'm not sure if it's because it was unable to repair the initial problems or if it just keeps detecting new ones.

    2 GBs is a minimum in which you can do many things, but not concurrently. Be very careful to not install third-party add-ons, limit the number of applications you choose to enter in Login Items, run as few applications concurrently as you demand.
    I would consider adding more RAM to your computer. Your model supports 8 GBs, so I would install that.

  • How do i have more than one computer to apple tv

    how do i have more than one computer to apple tv

    My answer is based on guessing what your question is since it seems a little incomplete.
    When enabling home sharing with an Apple ID on your Apple TV, this can be done with one Apple ID only. Now when enabling home sharing on your iTunes device you need to use the same Apple ID. You can do this with several devices, however the Apple TV will always only find the first device that comes online since it cannot differentiate between different home sharing devices with the same Apple ID.
    When using AirPlay you just need to be on the same network with your device. For example I can go to my best friend and watch my movie there on his Apple TV and vice-versa unrelated from the fact that we use different Apple IDs of course.
    I hope this answers your question.

  • How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT?

    How can I create more than one main window in a page of SAP SCRIPT? If anybody helps me I will be obliged.
    Regards,
    Subhasish

    Hi Ganguly,
    It is possible to have more than one main window in a same page.
    You create a main window and simply you copy and past it in the same page.. it will create first main window name as MAIN and other main windows as MAIN01,MAIN02.... up to MAIN99.
    Contets flow from MAIN , MAIN01, MAIN02.......................MAIN99. contents after filling the current window it flows to next window(by default, you skip as well with some keyword not sure could be NEW-WINDOW)
    you want print the main window data twice? or you want to create two main window in the same page ?
    1. give two copies in the no of copies in the output type screen ( Which pop up is coming after excute the program ).
    2. create two page with the same script form.
    3. you can write the coding inside the program to print twice the same page.
    Hope this information use full to you..

  • App switching on Mac with more than one InDesign window open

    I wonder if this happens to everyone or if it's something with my set-up--to be precise, having Spaces active.
    In OS 10.6.8, if I have more than one InDesign document open and I switch to another application using command-tab, when I switch back to InDesign I (often) see the content of the inactive document, even though the name tab of the original, active document is highlighted.
    The only way to get back to work is to click the title tab of the (supposedly) active document, or use the command-tilde shortcut, or reselect the active document name from the Window menu.
    This drives me crazy as I need to check a lot of things via a browser as I'm editing. It forces me to make sure I don't have 2 ID windows open.
    I'm pretty sure the same kind of thing happens in Word.

    I thought I'd follow my last post up with an update. I recently upgraded to InDesign CS6 and was hoping that the problem would be solved. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. However, I did find a fix that is working for me. I noticed that when I turned the Application Frame on (found under the Windows menu) that the problem went away. I'm getting used to working this way now. I have 16 Spaces which I routinely bounce around between. And now, every time I go to InDesign it works properly!

  • When in safari how can i have more than one window open?? New ios doesnt allow it.

    Problem is when i updated to the newest ios 7. The dang thing doesnt allow me to have more than one window open at any time. This only makes things repetitive, complicated and slow. Moreover, the icons and overall view are probably designed to be in a kindergarden game, cos they look really stupid on iPad, whos gonna take apple seriously with this so called "improvements". If anyone knows how to open more than one window at at atime i,ll be really grateful to be told. Or if anyone can tell me how to uninstall the friking update i,ll be even more grateful. Thanx guys.

  • If I have more than one secure website open with different windows, is the information I provide on one website secure from the other websites?

    The question really says it all. For some purposes, it would be helpful to have more than one password protected website open at the same time so I can go back and forth between them. However, I don't want to risk my passwords and other information being available in the process.
    Thanks for your help.

    Yes, they are secure from each other.

  • Scoring question - how do I see more than one instrument's voice at a time?

    I'm trying to compose pieces for different symphony orchestra instruments, but its imossible to toggle back and forth between the matrix view of seperate tracks for arranging the voices of the chords. The only way I can seen the notes in a chord is double click in the matrix view of individual track, but it just piles everything into one view and you can't manipulate it in any sensible way I can figure out.
    Please, someone tell me that there is a way to see each instrument laid out at once for arrangement in the score view somehow (I still can't seem to get more than one to come up at a time).

    i'm not exactly sure if this is what you mean, but if you want to see multiple instruments in the score view, just clicking anywhere on the "paper" brings up all the instruments used. if you want to see each single instrument come up in the score view, i think, like the previous person said is a matter of arranging the windows in the specific screenset, and having an Arrange and Score or Arrange and Matrix so that you can click on the regions and they'll come up on the other screen.
    Make sure you save and/or lock your screensets.
