How do you marry two different apps so they always launch side-by-side?

I've got App1.app and App2.app. Whenever I launch App1, I'd like App2 to launch along with it.
It seems so simple. Shouldn't there be a number of ways to do this?

I had never used Automator, so I was surprised to find how easy it was to accomplish what I needed to do.
Launch Automator > scroll down to the "Launch Application" action > drag two of those to the Workflow Area > set one to App1 and the other to App2 > Save! (as application)
I was then able to customize the name and icon on my workflow "app" to achieve a promising result.
However, the workflow will only launch the two Apps a good five seconds apart. (Not to mention a good five seconds to launch the first app as well.) I happen to require them to launch almost simultaneously. This would have been the perfect solution were it not for that.
I wonder if this problem would be gone on a faster machine than mine. I can't say, so I wont mark the question "answered".
I'll continue to wait for a better solution.

  • How do you merge two different users on one computer?

    I created a user account on my computer, then when I used Migration Assistant to transfer some of the files off my old computer onto my new MacBook Air it transferred them into a new user account.  How do I merge the two different users? They are both me.

    You can't "merge" users, you have to transfer the files using intermediate steps to deal with Permissions issues.
    You found out first hand that you should use Setup Assistant, rather than Migration Assistant to perform the action that is now causing trouble, and time.
    1) Log in to the A account.
    2) Locate all the files you want to move. Move them to /Users/A/Public. Note: Don't move any System-created top-level folders, like Documents, Pictures, Music, Movies, etc. Just move their contents.
    3) Log in to the B account.
    4) Navigate with Finder to /Users/A/Public. Drag the files to the Desktop. This will make new copies of them that will have the correct permissions for User B.
    5) Put the new copies of the files away in the appropriate places in B's home folder.
    6) Delete the A user account if it is no longer needed.
    Doing it this way will ensure that there are no permissions headaches with the files after they are moved.
    Also, make sure that you BACK UP all of your data before starting.

  • Help. How do you post two different sites?

    Help. I'm trying to create two different sites and have them have two different names. How do i do that? Anyone...thanks.

    Scott:
    Welcome to the Apple Discussions. Create both sites in the same domain file.
    Each can be published separately if it is the only site with changes (shown in red) and you use the Publish to .Mac menu option. They will be published to the same folder on your iDisk but will have separate URLs.

  • How do you tell two different cursors to move to different places?

    Sorry if this has been asked before but I couldn't find the answer anywhere.
    As I said, I'm trying to get two different cursors to move to two different places on the same graph. I have the values I want them to go to, I'm just not sure which function or command to use. I'm using LabVIEW 8.6. Thanks for any help!
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    WCR,
    You would have to use the property nodes of the graph to move the cursors programmatically. The properties of interest are Active Cursor and Cursor Position > X and Cursor Position > Y. Use the Active Cursor to specify (by cursor index) which cursor you want to work with, then set the X and Y property values, then set the next cursor as the Active Cursor and set its X and Y property values.

  • How do you get the apple remote to STOP always launching iTunes????

    After upgrading to Snow Leopard, I have discovered a few annoyances. The biggest one is that the Apple remote is always launching iTunes when I use it. Even when the Finder is not the target app.
    I have my entire Star Trek collection on a firewire drive, and I like using VLC to watch them because of the playlist feature. Every time I use the Apple remote to try to skip to the next episode, it launches iTunes and begins playing music. This NEVER happened before in Leopard or Tiger.
    I have gone through the iTunes preferences and also looked for some obscure system preference to deal with this issue, but so far, no luck.
    Again, the]is NEVER happened under previous operating systems, so I'm going to assume it's a glitch in Snow Leopard.
    Does anyone know what's happening here??
    Help me obi-wan.

    HI,
    Open System Preferences/Security and turn Disable remote control infrared receiver.
    You may have to click the gold padlock icon to do this. You will be prompted for your
    Admin password.
    Also, when you come across a "bug", report it to Apple.

    And it seems you are not alone...

    You can try to re "Pair' the remote also.
    To pair an Apple Remote with your computer:
    Hold the remote close to the computer (3 to 4 inches away) and point the remote at the front of the computer.
    Press and hold both the Menu and Next buttons on the remote until the paired-remote icon appears on your screen (about 5 seconds).
    To unpair an Apple Remote:
    Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Security, and then click General.
    Open the General pane of Security preferences
    Click Unpair.

  • HT1296 How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users?

    How do you sync iphone and PC when you have two different iphones/users in house? I just tried to sync my iphone and cancelled sync becauase I saw it was updating my phone with my husband's apps! How do I make it so that sync can distinguish between my and my husband's phone?

    I sync two iPhones and an iPad with one iTunes library on the same computer and each device has different content. Each device has its own sync preferences with iTunes. You can transfer the same music and apps to each device or different music and apps.
    Are you sharing the same Apple ID or iTunes account?

    Hi Sir/ Madam,
       My name is Rishav and I am facing some problem with my Photoshop CC. Actually I have a question. If you guys could help me out i will be very obliged. The quest in "Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??"

    Maybe you should post over at
    Photoshop for Beginners
    or start with the "Get Started" section of the Help:
    Photoshop Help | Photoshop Help
    And your question
    Can you please help me by saying me how can i join two different picture to make it as one picture.??
    does not seem particularly specific – do you want to simply combine two images as they are, do you want to clip elements from the one and insert them into the other, …?
    Could you post (lores of) the images and explain what you intend to achieve?

  • How do you connect two Apple ID's?

    How do you connect two Apple ID's to one another?

    Yes. You can sync multipl iDevices on the same computer using the same Apple ID. You can each have different configurations of apps, books, music, etc. or have identical configurations. In this way, however, your common data - contacts, mail, calendar will be the same on both iDevices.
    The Apple ID doesn't distinguish one phone from another, only how the phone will sync to a computer. The Apple ID is how iTunes knows to which computer a phone syncs. And, the Apple ID determines who is the registered owner of downloaded and purchased items via iTunes.

    I have two ipods in my house that were set up under the same email.  I have since assigned two different emails.  How can I change the game center account so that is not shared by both ipods because it is for two different users and they are not happy?

    By "game center account", do you mean Apple ID?
    If so, you can change it.
    1. Tap settings and navigate to iTunes and App Stores
    2. Tap "Apple ID" and then tap "Sign Out"
    3. Log in with a different ID.

  • How to work with two different backend with same MI Server and war file

    Hi All,
    We have a requirement that we need to work with one Middleware for two backends. For that we had to copy MAM30 sync bo's to zsync BO'S with the name ZMAM30. Now both sync BO'S will point to different backends.
    I have a standard war file which was working well with standards sync bo's. Now to work on zsync bo's what all the changes do I have to do in the standard war file(code).
    As per my knowledge we have a file called "syncbonamelist.properties" which maps the sync bo keys. Also there is another file called "mapping.xml" file which maps the package name with BO name.
    Can any body please tell me, are there any other files needed to be change like "meRepMeta.xml", other than any existing code like java objects are also needed to be changed.
    Your help in this regard is highly appreciable.
    Regards
    Murthy

    Hi Murthy,
    I try to get my head around the question:WHY?
    The reason for my question is, that this influences the answer!
    Because of several reasons it is NOT possible to handle MAM and zMAM Bos at the SAME TIME on the SAME MACHINE in the way you describe it - and it makes no sence to do so at all! But anyway......
    Lets say you have two backends, cause you have two different areas of the company. But both want to use the same MI server - but the client should be independend.
    So you need two apps. One uses the MAM BOs and the second one uses the zMAMBos.
    If this is the case, dev should be straight forward I think and you solution should work already......... so I ask myself, what is the problem you have? Do you get an error?
    - First create a new MEREPMETA-XML with just the zMAMBOs instead of the MAM BOs.
    - Change the two files you mentioned above.
    This should be all then.
    If you have a look into the implementation for MAM001Impl for example, there you find a line like:
         private static final String SYNC_BO_NAME
              = ResourceBundle.getBundle("com.sap.mbs.mam.bo.impl.syncbonamelist").getString("MAM30_040");
    This takes the name from the properties file and maps it to the real BO. So changing the name in the property file to
    MAM30_040 = zMAM30_040
    will result in MAM uses the zMAM BOs.
    Be aware: after you place the WAR file in the WEBAPPS folder and do a restart to deploy the file, you need to do a data reset to make sure the new MEREPMETA.XML is read.
    AND: two apps! one for MAM and one for zMAM BOs. One APP is not possible! Cause if you have something like that in the properties file:
    MAM30_040 = MAM30_040
    MAM30_040 = zMAM30_040
    if will only take the first reading.
    But I think this is clear to you anyway
    Regards,
    Oliver

  • How Can i Use two Different Public IP Addresses no my DMZ with ASA Firewall.

    How To Using Two Different Public IP Address on My DMZ with ASA 5520
    Postado por jorge decimo decimo em 28/Jan/2013 5:51:28
    Hi everyone out there.
    can any one please help me regarding this situation that im looking for a solution
    My old range of public ip address are finished, i mean (the 41.x.x.0 range)
    So now i still need to have in my DMZ another two servers that will bring some new services.
    Remember that those two server, will need to be accessable both from inside and from outside users (Internet users) as well.
    So as i said, my old range of public ip address is finished and we asked the ISP to gives some additional public
    ip address to address the need of the two new servers on DMZ. and the ISP gave us the range of 197.216.1.24/29
    So my quation is, on reall time world (on the equipment) how can i Use two different public ip address on the same DMZ
    on Cisco ASA 5520 v8??
    How my configuration should look like?
    I was told about implementing static nat with Sub Interfaces on both Router and ASA interface
    Can someone please do give me a help with a practical config sample please. i can as well be reached at [email protected]
    attached is my network diagram for a better understanding
    I thank every body in advance
    Jorge

    Hi,
    So looking at your picture you have the original public IP address range configured on the OUTSIDE and its used for NAT for different servers behind the ASA firewall.
    Now you have gotten a new public IP address range from the ISP and want to get it into use.
    How do you want to use this IP address range? You want to configure the public IP addresses directly on the servers or NAT them at the ASA and have private IP addresses on the actual servers (like it seems to be for the current server)?
    To get the routing working naturally the only thing needed between your Router and Firewall would be to have a static route for the new public network range pointing towards your ASA OUTSIDE IP address. The routing between your Router and the ISP core could either be handled with Static Routing or Dynamic Routing.
    So you dont really need to change the interface configuration between the Router and ASA at all. You just need a Static route pointing the new public IP address towards the ASA outside IP address.
    Now when the routing is handled between the ISP - ISP/Your Router - Your Firewall, you can then consider how to use those IP addresses.
    Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECTLY on the HOSTS behind the firewall?This would require you to either configure a new physical interface with the new public IP address range OR create a new subinterface with the new public IP addresses range AND then configure the LAN devices correspondingly to the chosen method on the firewall
    Do you want to use the public IP addresses DIRECLTY on the ASA OUTSIDE as NAT IP addresses?This would require for you to only start configuring Static NAT for the new servers between the inside/dmz and outside interface of the ASA. The format would be no different from the previous NAT configuration other than for the different IP addresses ofcourse
    Of the above ways
    The first way is good because the actual hosts will have the public IP addresses. Therefore you wont run into problems with DNS when the LAN users are trying to access the server.
    The second way is the one requiring the least amount of configurations/changes on the ASA. In this case though you might run into problem with DNS (to which I refer above) as the server actually has a private IP address but the public DNS might reply to the LAN hosts with a public IP address and therefore connections from LAN could fail. This is because LAN users cant connect to the servers OUTSIDE NAT IP address (unless you NAT the server to public IP address towards LAN also)
    Hopefully the above was helpfull. Naturally ask more specific questions and I'll answer them. Hopefully I didnt miss something. But please ask more
    I'm currently at Cisco Live! 2013 London so in the "worst case" I might be able to answer on the weekend at earliest.

  • How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?

    hello,
    How can i upload two different logos for 2 sub sites [which falls under one super site ] in share point 2013 ?
    thanks,
    Jay

    Hi,
    I understand that it applied first logo to all other sub sites.
    Please make sure that you change the logos in the subsites.
    If we change the logo in the root site, the logos in the subsites will be changed at the same time.
    However, we can change the logo in the subsites separately.
    We can go to a subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo->select a picture, then it will has a different logo than the root site.
    Then go to the other subsite, click the Site Sitting-> Look and Feel-> Title, description, and logo->Insert Logo-> select another picture, then it will has a different logo that the first subsite.
    Best Regards,

  • I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either.

    I have an airport express and want to know how to set up two different wireless networks. One with 5GHZ and one with 2.4GHZ so different devices can connect to either. I have an iphone 4 that will not connect to 5ghz.
    thank you!

    Your AirPort Express is already providing two separate 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands, but each band is using the same wireless network name.
    This is the default setup for the AirPort Express, which is recommended for most users. The theory here is that devices will automatically connect to the best quality signal based on their capabilities and distance in relation to the AirPort Express.
    It is possible to assign a different name to the 5 GHz band, and then "point" devices at that network to connect. Some users swear by this option.....(I am not one of them).... but you might want to give it a try to see how it works for you.
    Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility
    Click on the AirPort Express
    Click Edit in the smaller window that appears
    Click the Wireless tab at the top of the next window
    Click Wireless Options near the bottom of the next window
    Enter a check mark next to 5 GHz Name.....which will automatically add "5 GHz" to the network name....so you can identify it
    Click Save, then click Update and wait a full minute for the Express to restart
    Now you will need to "point" your 5 GHz capable devices at the 5 GHz network name.  2.4 GHz devices will connect to your "other" network name.
