How can I list open files from the same application

I often have several different files open in Word, Excel or Adobe. However only one is visible. How do I get a quick list of the other open files from an application?

Many applications have a Window menu at the top of the screen. Clicking on it will list all the open windows, as well as providing other options depending on the application.

How can I make different catalogs from the same image

How can I make different catalogs from the same image where that image has been changed in some way between the catalogs. For instance if I wanted to have a catalogs for cropped images and have 3 catalogs one for 4x6 , 5x7 and 8x10 cropping. When I tried this , if I changed a file in one catalog that same image in the other would change also.

Do not confuse the creation of the crops and the display in collections per crop ratio.
Of course one virtual copy (VC) per crop ratio is needed. If the same image should be cropped in all 3 mentioned ratios there would be 3 VCs.
The OP asked how to have/see a set of same-crop-ratios.
After having created the virtual copies for whatever crop ratio he wants, the way to display this result in the fashion asked for is via smart collections, provided they can be found. Without a plugin the naming of the VC with the crop ratio applied is a straight way to achieve that.
IF the wish is to get new crops automatically added. (See my answers 2+3)
IF the wish is to creat static collections per crop ratio for a certain set of images, I'd go as follows:
1. Select all images you want to have cropped in that way,.
2. With this selection click on the + to add another collection and fill the dialog box like this:
Then navigate into this newly created selection and perform the 4x6 crop - according to taste individually or by synchronizing the first crop.

How can I unlock numerous files at the same time (i.e. photos) so I can make changes (rotate etc)?

Im using Lion on a MacBook Pro 15in (just under two years old) and I would like to know if I can lock numerous photo files at the same time so I can make changes to them. At the moment when I select an entire folder to go through and make changes, ie rotate in Preview, I am told with each photo that I have to unlock it. I am going through photos I took of archival material and have nearly 5000 photos to adjust and make changes to. This small step is taking up a lot of time.
I realise there will probably be a common 'sense' answer to this but it alludes me at the moment so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

How can I overwrite a file with the same name in Content DB?

Hi All,
In Content DB if I upload a file with the same name as a previous one, the application shows the warning message:
" ...You cannot upload "XXXXXX.doc" to "Test 1" because an item with the same name already exists ..."
And the alternatives are "Create Version" or "Cancel" the operation. Is there any way to overwrite a previous file as we can do it in Oracle Files ?
Regards
Harvey

Hi All,
Can anybody from the Content DB product development answer this question?

How Can I delete multiple messages from the same address in Mac Mail

Hope this is in the correct Community. Hope someone can help me to delete multiple email messages from the same email address.
At the moment I can do it by holding down the Command key and highlighting each email, but that can be difficult with many messages
to delete. Is there a quicker way?
Thanks for any help on this.

Thanks for the reply, appreciate your input. I did find another way of doing it and that is to highlight the first e-mail, hold down the shift key and click on the last one. That highlights them all and then they can all be deleted. Your ideas also work of course and I thank you for that. Cheers.

How can I make different windows of the same application I have open remain on their respective desktops/spaces after reboot?

Hi all,
I use the same applications for work, entertainment and other personal activities, so it's impossible to simply assign different apps to different desktops/spaces. Thus, I have open windows of the same programs (Pages, TextEdit, Preview) arranged on several desktops. If I reboot my laptop, the windows are just crammed on Desktop 1. Can something be done about it?

Barney,
many thanks for your efforts and your time (preparing and posting the screenshot, answering to this question,...).
Unfortunately, moving the focus to the next window only works with windows on the same desktop.
btw, using a german keyboard layout and german language settings the shortcut is "cmd+<".
I can switch with this shortcut between different windows of my Safari which reside on the same desktop, but I cannot swith between different safari windows distributed over several desktops.
Thanks,
equi

How can I stop two instances of the same application?

I have just installed Yosemite about a week ago on my MacBook Pro mid '10 and it's working great except for one little glitch.
Whenever I double-click on a file in my Finder, not only does it open in the assigned dock Application, but a second instance of the same Application pops up on the dock out of nowhere. To be more clear, I have my PDFs set to Preview. I click on a PDF in my Finder and Preview starts jumping. Out of nowhere, another copy of Preview springs up on the dock and starts jumping as well. This opens that same PDF twice on my screen.
I noticed this also happens when I'm installing a .dmg file. Two installers open at the same time when I double-click the icon.
It doesn't happen if I right-click > Open or right-click > Open With.
Any thoughts?

Please read this whole message before doing anything.
This procedure is a test, not a solution. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
Step 1
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account.
Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.
Test while logged in as Guest. Same problem?
After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac” is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.
Step 2
The purpose of this step is to determine whether the problem is caused by third-party system modifications that load automatically at startup or login, by a peripheral device, by a font conflict, or by corruption of the file system or of certain system caches.
Please take this step regardless of the results of Step 1.
Disconnect all wired peripherals except those needed for the test, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards, if applicable. Start up in safe mode and log in to the account with the problem. You must hold down the shift key twice: once when you turn on the computer, and again when you log in.
Note: If FileVault is enabled in OS X 10.9 or earlier, or if a firmware password is set, or if the startup volume is a software RAID, you can’t do this. Ask for further instructions.
Safe mode is much slower to start up and run than normal, with limited graphics performance, and some things won’t work at all, including sound output and Wi-Fi on certain models. The next normal startup may also be somewhat slow.
The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
Test while in safe mode. Same problem?
After testing, restart as usual (not in safe mode) and verify that you still have the problem. Post the results of Steps 1 and 2.

How can I access onenote files from the iPhone?

Hi there,
I would like to explore the method of manually and regularly moving onenote files from my iphone to my PC so that I can view them on my PC.
Is this possible? If so, can anyone please tell me how?
I'm thinking this will require copying a file or something from my iPhone to my PC, but how?
Thanks

I wouldn't hold you breath. I understand what you say you want to do, but that is going in exactly the opposite direction that the industry is moving.
Using MS's cloud based sync is not an "extra step". It reduces the effort to keep things synchronized on your part to nearly zero.
If there is no 'trust issue' there, as you seem to imply, then it seems you are simply trying to complicate your life by refusing to use the application the way it was designed to be used.
One Note isn't anywhere near being 'one of a kind'. It's one among many, and not a very good one at. It's bloated, slow, and cumbersome.
Investigate other options, or use it the way it's meant to be used, but hoping that Microsoft will move in the direction you want to go is pretty much pointless.
Tools like File Explorer can often do more harm than good. you were never intended to have access to the file system on the phone. One wrong move can really screw things up.

How can I rename many files at the same time?

Hello!
I have a bunch of PDF files (2 thousand at least) that I need to transfer to another Mac but since it's running OS 9.2 it won't accept the files because the names are too long, therefore, I need a quick way to change all such files into a shorter name but maintaining some of the serial numbers each file name has (i.e., not changing all to the same name but just taking off the first or last 5 characters for example), is there a way to do this sort of thing with OS 10.3.9 or 10.5.2?
Best!
Danny

Look at this shareware. http://www.jonn8.com/ntf/ It's a batch renaming app, but I'm not sure it will do exactly what you want. However, it does have a 7 day free trial.
If you do a Google serach using +batch file rename mac+ you can review a lot more apps.

How can I batch move files to the same folder structure in a different location?

Hi,
I recently had an issue with my iTunes Library so I used the Organize Library feature to have iTunes organise my library. What happened was that it put all of my music in a folder called 'Music' on my external hard drive, whereas previously it was not in a folder at all, e.g.
BEFORE: External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
AFTER: External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / Mama Mia.m4a
I don't have any particular issue with the updated folder structure, except that I had copies of the artwork for each album in my album folders, and these weren't moved when the audio files were moved/consolidated/organised. So I need to find a way of moving all of the artwork to the new folders, e.g.
External Hard Drive / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
needs to become:
External Hard Drive / Music / Abba / Greatest Hits / folder.jpg
I have to do this for 3,000+ albums, and I have multiple artwork files for some albums, so I am hoping that there is a way of doing this using a batch/automated method of some kind, but I haven't been able to turn up anything yet.
Can someone help with this?
Thanks,
Nick

You can make a smart playlist containing episodes of both series and play from that. Podcasts are linked together by the URL they are served from so merging ongoing series isn't really practical.

How can I erase deleted items from the hard drive?

How can I erase deleted files from the hard drive? Will my machine run faster?

If you've already deleted the files and emptied the Trash they are already, in effect, erased. At least the disk space they occupied is now available.
To be able to offer help we need more information about which Mac you have, which OS you are running, how much RAM you have installed, how much hard disk space you have available, etc.
Go to the Apple Menu>About this Mac - copy and paste the contents of the report here (deleting the serial number of your machine). Once we have that info, I'm sure someone will have some suggestions.

Hey there Matt.dvs1,
Although there is not a way to remove past purchases from your iTunes account completely, you can hide them so that you don't have to see them if you don't want to. This article will help you do that:
iTunes Store: Hiding and unhiding purchases - Apple Support
Hide your purchases
Open iTunes on your Mac or PC.
From the Store menu, choose Store > Sign In, and then enter your Apple ID and password.
Go to the iTunes Store.
Click Purchased from the Quick Links section on the right side of the iTunes Store.
Choose a content type by clicking Music, Movies, TV Shows, Apps, or Books from the top of the window.
A list of your purchased items for the content type you are viewing will appear. Mouse over the item you want to hide until an X appears its top-left corner.
A confirmation dialog will appear once you click the X.
Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,
Sterling

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing?

How can I remove multiple copies of the same song from the iTunes listing. The program seems to be picking up the same songs from, for example, my user area and my public area in the C drive

As above, Apple's official advice is here... HT2905 - How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library, however it is a manual process and the article fails to explain some of the potential pitfalls.
Use Shift > View > Show Exact Duplicate Items to display duplicates as this is normally a more useful selection. You need to manually select all but one of each group to remove. Sorting the list by Date Added may make it easier to select the appropriate tracks, however this works best when performed immediately after the dupes have been created. If you have multiple entries in iTunes connected to the same file on the hard drive then don't send to the recycle bin.
Use my DeDuper script if you're not sure, don't want to do it by hand, or want to preserve/merge ratings, play counts and playlist membership. See this thread for background and please take note of the warning to backup your library before deduping.
(If you don't see the menu bar press ALT to show it temporarily or CTRL+B to keep it displayed)
