Help I can only have max. 3 osx apps. open at the same time ?

Help I can only have max. 3 apps. open at the same time ?
If I have 3 apps. open, and try to open a 4th. this message comes up :
The application "Mail" cannot be launched. -10810
Of cause if I'm trying to open up something else than mail, lets say iPhoto, it will say "iPhoto".
This is very weird to me, and I'm normally pretty good at solving issues myself, but I'm stuck with this one.
Please help out

I've had this quite a lot too. Do you find that under these conditions you can't load a disk image either?
At first I put this down to Rosetta taking up a lot of resources. I was running OmniWeb with a lot of pages open in the workspaces so I've switched back to Safari until OmniWeb is UB. This morning I read that having Windows file sharing switched on helps to cause this problem. I switched this off, rebooted and ran disk utility to repair disk permissions and I've been running OK since then. I've currently got 13 apps open plus Finder and Widgets. They include 2 bigguns, Eclipse/MyEclipse and Visual Paradigm for UML. It'll probably stop working now I've written that.
I run a MBP 17 with 2GB memory. My guess is that Windows file sharing does cause problems. I just hope Apple has resolved this in 10.4.7... whenever that is.

  • Can I have mail and contacts open at the same time

    I really want to be able to have one or more iCloud Apps open at the same time; for example, I may be looking up some info on a contact or in calendar in order to mail someone. At times I have just opened a different tab, but it seems that iCloud then gets messed up.
    I am running Windows 7 at work and the latest version fo Chrome.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I don't know in Chrome, but in Safari (pc or mac) you can open icloud.com twice on two different tab or windows and open one with contact and the other in Mail without messing up.  What kind of mess to do you experience?
    There is no other options to do what you want to do.  You need to click on the little top cloud to switch from one to another.
    Beside, I don't understand why even 2 open tab would help more than having to switch via the cloud icon.  I may need to cut/paste some info from contact or calendar from time to time, but switch via the cloud icon is not really painfull.

  • Is it possible to have two (2) apps open at the same time???

    How can I have one app open,like FStream listening to a radio station, keep it open and then open a game to play at the same time I am listening??? can this be done some how????
    please let me know.

    Sorry to disappoint but the iPod touch as much as the Iphone 3Gs, cannot peform several task at once( something call background proceessing or multitasking). Somehow apple tends to stay a bit behind in things like allowing the iPod touch to do multitasking specially allowing apps to run on the background. Even though other mobile devices like the palm pre, google android, and other phones do that without any difficulty in peforming those tasks. But let's hope that apple fixes these lacking feature in future software updates... Cause it's time apple to allow for the iPod touch to run applications on the background, if they want to stay in top of technology.

  • Can I have two versions of firefox at the same time?

    Hi,
    Probably a dumb question but can I have two versions of Firefox on my system at the same time?
    The reason is because of Add Ons that are not compatible with v4. I'd like to be able to close v4 when I need to use an Add On in v3.
    Thanks.

    You can install them both but there are a few steps to take.
    When you install Firefox 4 use the custom installation option and choose a different location to install Firefox.
    In order to use both versions, you need to create a new profile for Firefox 4 (Firefox stores user data in the profile). Using the same profile with different versions can cause problems. Once you create a new profile you can copy certain data such as bookmarks and passwords between them. You can also use Firefox Sync to keep the profiles synchronized. Finally, you will need to set up shortcuts to launch the correct profile for each version.
    The following links show how to do this:

    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Transferring_data_to_a_new_profile_-_Firefox

  • I have an iPhone 4S. I have an aftermarket blue ant Bluetooth in my van already synced to my 4s. I bought a JBL Flip speaker and when I try to sync in all it does is say searching. Is it because I can't have these two devices synced at the same time?

    I have an iPhone 4S. In my van I have a portable Bluetooth called blue ant. I have it synced to my iPhone 4S. When I try to sync it to my JBL Flip Bluetooth speaker all it will do is keep searching. My question is this. Is it not possible to have both devices synced at the Same time?

    Nope. You can only be connected to one Bluetooth speaker at once.
    Hope this helps

  • Can I have 2 Bluetooth connection active at the same time? Works with other phones...

    Is it possible to have one Bluetooth connection for "phone audio" and a 2nd connection for "A2DP" music streaming at the same time on my iPhone 5? My car-stereo has Bluetooth for phone calls but NOT for audio streaming. However, there's a 3.5mm aux in on the head unit. On my S5 I can create one Bluetooth connection to the car-stereo and select "phone audio" and a 2nd for my Bluetooth aux-in adapter. It works perfect since months but last week I changed back to an iPhone (5s) and it appears that I can only have ONE BT connection active at a time!?  Any ideas anyone?

    Hi SwedelostinAmerica,
    Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
    The iPhone can maintain multiple pairing records, but it can only connect to one headset or hands-free device at a time. However, in your situation there may be a solution. You can connect the iPhone via Bluetooth for calls and use the 3.5mm jack on your iPhone and car radio to connect for music.
    The following article explains Bluetooth pairing and usage. Please use it as a reference.

  • Am I able to. Have two apps open at the same time? Also how do I play music while online browsing?

    Is it possible to use two apps at the same time? For example having Pinterest open and listening to a playlist on YouTube? Or fact checking a "pin" from a site with safari while looking at the actual site?

    You can click and drag on a tab to "tear" it out into a new window. Or you can open a new window by pressing Control+N, or by hovering over "New Tab" in the Firefox menu and then choosing "New Window" from the sub-menu that appears.

  • How do I have two apps open at the same time on full screen?

    As above - I want to work on word and the internet at the same time. I have resized the screens to half but would like them both to be on full screen. I did manage to do this by accident once (I think) so I'm sure it can be done!!

    Lion I think - it's the new mac air?

  • How can I save multiple tabs to open at the same time?

    Hi,
    I have a set of websites that I need to access regularly and I'd like to be able to open all the tabs in a window at the same time rather than clicking on each one individually.  I know this was possible in previous safari versions but I can't figure out how to do it in Yosemite (v8).
    Can someone walk me through how to do this please?  I've googled this but haven't been able to find an answer for this latest version of safari.
    Thanks!

  • Problem with multiple gmail accounts. If I open two accounts in different tabs, Firefox makes them both the same, effectively closing one of them. I would rather have both gmail accounts open at the same time.

    I belong to a chorus of 100+ singers. A lot of us use gmail for our personal email. We have a google site where we share information. We log into that site as [email protected] I would like to open the chorus site in a new tab, leaving the original tab still logged in to my personal gmail account. Currently, my original tab will also get logged into the chorus account, and I will be logged out of my personal account. Why does information in one tab disturb the information in another tab? I can keep both accounts logged in if I log into one with firefox and the other in internet explorer. But I'd rather just do it with a tab, not a whole second browser.

  • 2 apps open at the same time

    Can you open another app while one is running without closing the first?
    I thought this was a new feature of 3.0.

    No, you cannot open two apps at the same time. You cannot run apps in the background, except for the iPod app.
    The closest 3.0 feature to this is the notifications function, which pushes app notifications to your iPhone without the app running.

  • It is necessary for me to have more than one window open in Firefox, and the command (New Window) no longer works. How do I have two different websites open at the same time on separate displays?

    I used to be able to open two Firefox windows at a time, with one website on one display and another website on another display. Now when I select New Window, nothing happens.

    You can tear off a tab (right-click: Move to New Window) to open it in another window and resize both windows so you see them at the same time.
