How do I have two folders open on desktop at one time?

This must be very simple, but I cannot find out how to do. I want to transfer mp3s from a DVD data disc to an SD card on my phone via drag and drop. I can open the DVD in a window on my desktop by simply double clicking it. But when I double click the SD card, the window with the DVD files disappears into the task bar [or whatever its called]. I've gone to the Window drop down menu and clicked on "All to front," but that has no discernible effect.
How can I get both folders--DVD and SD--open at the same time in order to drag and drop files?
Thanks much!

Do you know where I can find this sort of information in the Apple documentation?
It is worth pointing out that most applications work the same way, to comply with user interface design guidelines. If you scan through the available menu selections, most common functions become obvious. For example, when Finder is active, the first item on the File menu shows "New Finder Window." To familiarize yourself with the features of any application, review the available menu items before diving into the documentation.

How do I have two windows open side by side in Mountain Lion

I want to open two windows side by side for comparison purposes. Can anyone tell me how to do this please? BUT when I input something into one window, I don't want the other window to close. I know this can be done on my Windows laptop but I'm now using Mountain Lion on a new Mac - maybe it's something I have to learn to do without.
Any help would most appreciated.
Thanks Sue.

You want to have two browser windows open at the same time?
In Safari, just type command + n, and a new Safari window will open. You can use either window independently.
(Trust I have understood your question.)

I have two windows open and accidently closed one of them. There does not seem any option to restore that window I accidentally closed.

I had multiple windows opened and accidentally closed one of the windows. How do I restore the window I accidentally closed?

You can use this button to go to the currently used Firefox profile folder:
*Help > Troubleshooting Information > Profile Directory: Show Folder (Linux: Open Directory; Mac: Show in Finder)
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox
Windows hides some file extensions by default.
Among them are .html and .ini and .js and .txt, so you may only see file name without file extension.
You can see the real file type (file extension) in the properties of the file via the right-click context menu in Windows Explorer.

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 copy file/folders from and to hard drives? How can I have two or more windows of explorer so that I can drag and drop from one hard drive to another?

Hi,
I am a new customer (purchased last week) of MacBookPro (latest) and its my first ever Apple laptop.
I am almost lost to find the operating tools.
1. How can I copy files from hard drive to computer and vis-a-versa?
2. Only can browse one but how can I have two or more browses at the same time like in MS windows?
3. No right click works on track pad?
4. Is there application/ program compatible to MS office? If so how much and how can I purchase?
5. Is there AutoCAD program that is compatible to MS Window AutoCAD? and if yes how much and how can I purchase?
I will very much appreciate if you could email me the with the solution/answers please.

1) For some reason this happens once in a while with FAT32 enabled external harddrives. I have no idea why this happens but it most easily solved by reformatting the drive. First make sure you've copied everything from the external drive to your internal harddrive. You've done this earlier so I assume you know how to do this.
Now the reformatting part. Open Finder and go to Applications. Look for the folder called "Utilities". Click on it. In it you find a program called "Disk Utility". Click on it. Now look for the external drive. You probably see two entries for the disk. Click on the one that contains the name of the drive NOT the one that describes the disk (Like for example 320.07 GB Samsung S2 Portable Media).
Now you see four tabs in the righthand part of the window. They're called "First Aid", "Erase", "RAID" and "Restore". Click on "Erase". This opens the tab with (amongst others) a dropdownbox (Format) and a textbox (Name) . In the dropdownbox select "Mac OS Extended (Journaled). Take note! This selection disables usage of the drive with Windows PC's. If your goal is to share the drive with Windows PC's select the MS-DOS FAT option.
Enter a label for the drive in the textbox Name. Now click on the button "Erase". This will format the drive.
Now when it's done you can copy back all the items you've copied to your internal harddrive earlier.
2) Opening two windows like Explorer on Windows is opening two Finder windows on the Mac. Simply click on the background. In the menubar you items like 'Finder", "File", "Edit", "View", et cetera. Click on "File" and "New Finder Window". Do this two times. Alternatively you can click on the background and press CMD-N two times.
3) You can right click on the trackpad. This however depends on if you've enabled the feature in System Preferences. In the topmenubar click on the Apple icon and select "System Preferences". Now look for Trackpad in Hardware. Click on it. You see three tabs with the names "Point & Click", "Scroll & Zoom" and "More Gestures". Select "Point & Click" and look for "Secondary Click'. Make sure it is checked and make sure it has written "Click or tap with two fingers" written beneath "Secondary Click". When you're done exit System Preferences. Now select the background and tap with two fingers on the trackpad. This should open the contextuel menu with options like "New Folder", "Get Info" et cetera.

How to have two documents open at once?

Hi all,
How do you have two open documents at once? For example, let's say I have two English essays due tomorrow that I've already worked on. Is there any way to open both documents and work on them simultaneously? Right now I can only work on one. Thanks!

Hi Matt,
You can open more than document. Drag a document window by one edge or corner to resize if necessary, then drag the whole window by its title bar to one side of the screen. You should now be able to see the other document. Move that window beside the first.
You can switch between them by clicking on the one you want to be active.
Regards,
Ian.

Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time? (Elements 13 for Windows)

Hi there.
Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time?
The reason I wanna do this is because I've trimmed many hours of clips in one project (One timeline) and I want to start a new project where I have a "clean" timeline and can add clips from the
first project (Cut and paste). Or how do I bring a trimmed clip from one project into another in a easy way?
Thanks
-Dan-

Your question is in the Photoshop Elements forum. There is another forum for Premier Elements and this will probably be moved.
That said, the answer is that Premier Elements has not be designed with the ability to cut and paste from one project to another. The only "work around" is to "Publish&Share" to a best quality format that matches your project settings. You can control the output clips with the "work area bars". You can then add the new clip to the second project. The output rendering process can, at least in theory, reduce the picture quality. Depending on formats, settings and footage, it may not be noticeable.
There is a third party product called Clipmate that some say works, but not always with good results.

I'm trying to redownload my music onto a new computer and its not working..I think I may have two accounts open because the one im signed into is empty and I cant remember my log in info..and when I reset it it doesnt help.

I got a new lap top and I was trying to re download my music to the new one and it's not working. I think I may have to accounts open because its saying mine hasnt been active in a while and I know thats not true...and there is no music in the library it's all empty...is it possible to have two accounts open? if so how do I cancel one. and keep the other....

You need to ask Apple to reset your security questions. To do this, click here and pick a method; if that page doesn't list one for your country or you're unable to call, fill out and submit this form.

How i can have all my opened tab when upgrade my firefox?

now i'm still using very old Firefox 3.6.12, and i want to upgrede it. I always using "save and quit" to my all opened tab when quit and not using bookmarks. total about 300+ tab opened.
i already try upgrade once and all my tab is lost. and because of that i do system restore and reintall with old one again.
how i can have all my opened tab when upgrade my firefox?
sorry my english is mess....

I do not think anything much has changed with the Firefox system restore files and how they are handled so it may be possible to keep these and use them after an upgrade in a new version of Firefox.
It is '''very important that you backup the Firefox profile''' see
*[[Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles]]
If you do that you will be able to use the open tabs again. <br />(May need to reinstall Firefox 3.6 again possibly as an additional browser) <br />
You must
* Put that profiles somewhere safe. NOT in the Firefox profile or program path. Your Window's Desktop is ok as a safe place.
*When needed. Only work with copies of those files. Keep the original files and folders safe.
Upgrade to the latest Firefox. Because you are going up so far from 3.6 to 27 do this by installing the new Firefox 27. Do not try using each upgrade step from 3.6 to 27.
Please follow these steps:
'''Note:''' You might want to print these steps or view them in another browser.
#Download the latest Desktop version of Firefox from http://www.mozilla.org and save the setup file to your computer.
#After the download finishes, close all Firefox windows (click Exit from the Firefox or File menu).
#Delete the Firefox installation folder, which is located in one of these locations, by default:
#*'''Windows:'''
#**C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
#**C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
#Now, go ahead and reinstall Firefox:
##Double-click the downloaded installation file and go through the steps of the installation wizard.
##Once the wizard is finished, choose to directly open Firefox after clicking the Finish button.
More information about reinstalling Firefox can be found [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-and-diagnose-firefox-problems?esab=a&s=troubleshooting&r=3&as=s#w_5-reinstall-firefox here].
WARNING: Do not run Firefox's uninstaller or use a third party remover as part of this process, because that could permanently delete your Firefox data, including but not limited to, extensions, cache, cookies, bookmarks, personal settings and saved passwords. <br />These cannot be recovered unless they have been backed up. <br />(That is why I asked that the profile was backed up FIRST)
You may be surprised and find Firefox still has the old tabs once it is reinstalled.
Post back with how you get on. We should be able to get access to the old tabs again.
In future I suggest you do not try to rely on keeping 300 tabs open all the time without bookmarking them. You will at some stage probably lose some or all of these tabs, or their related states and history.
Please in future
* Backup your profile on a regular basis.
**Once a week means you may only lose one week's open tabs.
*Bookmark important open tabs.
** Bookmarks keep well.
** Open tabs do not keep well & may be lost.
* If possible reduce the number of open tabs you use.

How can I have two fields with the same name if it makes sense?

Hello, folks :)
I have a pretty hard time figuring out how I can have two text fields with the same binding name.
The whole problem is that when I need two fields with the same binding name they are still differnent coz they have the same name but differnt indices.
I should make a form filled at runtime by merging a pdf form file and an fdf file data file. And I have no choice to do it differently. And my form file needs some data like customerName, companyName twice in one form. But there's only one possible buinding name indexed zero.
How can I create a field with absolutely the same name or is it just impossible due to possible name conflicts? And is there a workaround to this problem? I just need one piece of data repeated in different places.
Thanks for your replies :)
P.S. if u think that the problem is not clear enough let me know. I'll supply you with more details. But the general process can not be changed.
One pdf should be mergred with an fdf with as the result of their merge a new filled and flattened form. I have no control over fdfs their are generated by Oracle and I can not fill the form using XML files coz this process should be integrated in a working application.

I just thought about a really ugly workaround with a server-side script adding values to fdf files but it's a bit of work and tests and personally i think it's a bad idea :-(
