Ical multiple windows

Hello iCal community. I have an annoying thing happening where it seems I have multiple calendars that load each time I open the desktop app, and my main calendar window isn't the first one that displays. I have to use Command+O for that. I'd like to close all of the ones that show in the attached screenshot and only have the main calendar window open. I don't know why I have something called "contacts"? Please advise and thanks.

This will be fun to play with... multiple windows definitely helps.
Kind of a crappy band-aid, but at least it's a band-aid

How do I open multiple 'windows' in Entourage?

I am using MS Entourage and would like to be able to open multiple windows within that program. For example, I would like to have both my calendar and address book opened at the same time in different windows. I have looked all over for a way to do this, but I have not had any luck. Any ideas? Please forgive me if this is an easy answer. I am still new to the Mac world, but love it so far. Thank you.

At the Entourage menu bar, go to File > New and select Open New Main Window. You can open an additional two main windows and select the Address Book for one and the Calendar for the other.
To navigate to a different window, at the menu bar go to Window and select Mail, Address Book or Calendar.
The Mail.app does not incorporate all 3 applications. You can have the Mail.app, Address Book and iCal launched and running and select between each from the Dock along with other ways to do so. The Mail.app also includes an Address Book panel to view all Address Book contacts or to select from when addressing a message. You can't add to, delete or edit contacts from the Mail.app Address Book panel.

ITunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users - how?

iTunes setup on a NAS with multiple windows users?
I am very confused on what is the best way to handle this setup for my friends family. Any help would be appreciated. Sorry in advance as I know this is a long winded post - I have a feeling this will help others faced with the same issues or questions.
CURRENT SETUP
I have three new Windows 7 machines networked (two desktops and one laptop) that have four users on each - as busy family with children who need the computers for homework, projects, games, etc... The goal of this setup is that any user can log onto any computer and have there documents available to them no matter computer was free to use. I set this up using the library function in Windows 7 and seems to work pretty well.
I have put a Buffalo Linkstation NAS on the system as well. This was going to serve two purposes 1) run some backup software to protect the computers and 2) consolidate the iTunes content in one place for all users. There is also an iPad in the home that I should would be better served by accessing the content on the NAS without requiring any of the computers being on. Dave is thinking about getting some other playback devices like Apple TV so thought a NAS would be a good way to go.
CURRENT ITUNES SETUP - I have created a new iTunes library on the NAS by holding the SHIFT button down while starting iTunes and pointed to that folder on a Share on the NAS. There was no music on the system at the time as we are planning to copy this over from an OLD machine that is now not being used. I have also authorized all the computers and turned on the home sharing feature (although I am not sure what good that does).
This “shift” button trick seesm to also point the default directory there without point to it in the advanced setup tab of iTunes.
I then synced one of the iPods with purchased content on it and synced that to the library after asking me to do so before an update. All the content showed up in the library and was playable - awesome.
I then logged into each user on each machine (yikes) and installed iTunes and used the “shift” trick to connect each users iTunes to the database on the NAS. Everything seems to work - but I have not tested it thoroughly.
SUMMARY
3 new Windwos 7 networked machines
4 identical users on each machine
1 TB Buffalo linkstation
iTunes setup with the folder on a SHARE
all user’s itunes connected to the iTunes folder on the NAS
all computers authorized with home sharing turned on.
one iTunes user account signed in on each machine
multiple iPods and one iPad in the system
QUESTIONS/CONCERNS
Is there a better way to do this on a NAS?
Would home sharing be better in some way?
I understand the NAS should show up under the shared section in iTunes - I assume that would mean that would mean each user has an iTunes library on their documents?
I have read that there may be corruption issues if users on the different machines try to access iTunes at the same time.
Will there be any issues syncing that various iPods with?
Ugh - sorry for the long post and all the questions. I am just trying to find the best way to do this. I wish Apple would put out a best practices document for setups like this. Thanks in advance.

This is a user to user support forum. Your fellow users can offer solutions or workarounds based on their experience with the application. If you think it should work differently drop a line to iTunes Feedback.
For reasons unknown Apple haven't chosen to allow iTunes to be suspended in one profile and active in another. My recollection is that this applies even if each profile has a different library, although it is some time since I've committed a personal test.
I'm not sure why my suggestion make less sense that your current approach?. As I understand it currently everybody is either signed into their own account when they can do something other than work with iTunes, or they sign into the special iTunes account where they can't access any of their other stuff. You don't have to disable fast user switching. Follow exactly the same steps, but make sure everyone closes iTunes before turning the computer over to another user. Disabling fast user switching helps to enforce that action.

Is there a way to open multiple windows in firefox 5.0? I can't do it from windows quicklaunch and the right click"open in new window" does nothing.

Yeah, not much more to say. Since I upgraded to firefox 5.0, I can no longer open multiple windows. Multiple tabs work, but I don't like tabs. Please help.

Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

How can I have multiple WINDOWS (NOT tabs) with INDEPENDENT content?

How can I have multiple '''windows''' (''not ''tabs) with '''independent''' content?
I used to be able to open separate windows with Firefox, and the content could be completely different in each window. No matter what I did in any window, no OTHER window open at the time, nor any of the content therein, was affected. This is no longer the case and it is extremely frustrating for me.
I do ''not ''like tabs and do not use them. I prefer multiple windows plus I am so used to using them, for so many years now! But with v9.0.1 I suddenly can no longer do what I've always done with my browser without this aggravating problem constantly reminding me that I can't have what I want in firefox anymore.
Or can I? Does anyone have a solution I don't realize exists?
Thanks,
Sowelu

AppleScriptObjC can use pretty much everything in the Cocoa API, so yes, it is possible.
Note that a view is not the same as a window, and a window can have multiple views. There are also many ways to implement "tabs"; take a look at some of Apple's applications - they use various mixtures of toolbars, checkboxes, and radio buttons, for example. An application such as this will be a lot more involved than what you have done so far though, using custom classes and subclassing existing ones, so be prepared to do a lot of reading and researching.

How can I switch between multiple windows of the same application (e.g. Safari) over several desktops ?

Hi All,
I have one application, for example safari, open and running with multiple windows (with or without tabs) spread over several desktops.
How can I switch between the windows only via keyboard? CMD+> and CMD+< let me only swicht between windows open on the one desktop I am currently looking at.
thanks for your replies,
equi

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

Multiple windows of the same class with a different argument

Suppose I have a main window with a list of users. If I click on any one user, the "chat window" should open with the argument as that "user".
If i click on another, a similar "chat window" should open but with a different user.
I can't have so many stages because I don't know how many users are there.
How do I open multiple windows of the same class but with a different argument?

Here is a sample (opens, at random locations, a bunch of child windows parameterized by color).
Could be simpler, but hopefully you get the gist.
import java.util.Random;
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.geometry.Rectangle2D;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.Label;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.stage.*;
public class ColoredStages extends Application {
final String[] colors = { "firebrick", "palegreen", "azure", "chocolate", "goldenrod" };
final Random random = new Random(42);
Rectangle2D screenBounds;
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
@Override public void start(Stage stage) {
    screenBounds = Screen.getPrimary().getVisualBounds();
    stage.setTitle("Primary");
    stage.setScene(new ColoredScene("cornsilk"));
    stage.show();
    for (String color : colors) {
      Stage coloredStage = new ColoredStage(stage, color);
      coloredStage.show();
class ColoredStage extends Stage {
    ColoredStage(Stage owner, String color) {
      super();
      initOwner(owner);
      initStyle(StageStyle.UTILITY);
      setX(screenBounds.getMinX() + random.nextInt((int) screenBounds.getWidth()));
      setY(screenBounds.getMinY() + random.nextInt((int) screenBounds.getHeight()));
      setScene(new ColoredScene(color));
class ColoredScene extends Scene {
    ColoredScene(String color) {
      super(new StackPane());
      StackPane layout = (StackPane) getRoot();
      layout.getChildren().addAll(new Label(color));
      layout.setStyle("-fx-font-size: 20px; -fx-padding: 30px; -fx-background-color: " + color);

Try a 2 finger Pinch to see the tabs.

Firefox 4 opens multiple windows (15-25) when opening and only once in a blue moon will remember the tabs from the previous session in the first of the multiple windows.

When I open Firefox 4 from either the icon or from a link from e-mail or some other place, multiple windows open up. Usually between 15 and 25 of them. I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate on both my laptop and desktop and have the same issue with both. I tried disabling the plug-ins one by one since they were all up-to-date, to no avail. My laptop has an upgraded version of Windows while my desktop has a clean install. I tried uninstalling Firefox 4 and going back to 3 and then the same thing started happening withe v3 when it wasn't before. Only sometimes, on rare occasions, will the first window that opens have my tabs from the previous session. Most times all the windows have one blank tab. The first one I can tell 'cause it does not have the orange Firefox menu button (since I'd chosen to show the Menu Bar) while the first window shows the menu bar. The troubleshooting info is from my laptop only.

Unless the schedule it's running on is every single time I open Firefox (including closing it & reopening it right away), I don't think that's the case. Also, I don't have any of these issues on the PC I switched back to v3.6 on. That one runs smoothly whether I run Ccleaner, registry optimizers, clear the cache & history or whatever. I thought after you first gave me the answer of deleting the session files that they must've got corrupted during the upgrade, but it seems that v4 just doesn't do a good job of retaining or maintaining those files without getting them corrupt or something.
If this is not an issue with everyone & I'm having it on both my PCs, then v4 has an issue with something that I install on my PCs that, I guess, many others don't although I don't know what that could be and I use everything I install or have running. So, I'm just going back to what works without having to dismantle my config one prog at a time to try to find what v4 may be finicky about.
By the way, I did check & couldn't find any cleaners that run automatically on my PCs.

Multiple Windows in Different Spaces

Hello,
I'm wondering if there is a way to have multiple windows from the same program open in different spaces. For example, I'm working on my dissertation and I'd like to have my primary Word file open in one space and research Word files open in different spaces. Every time I try to move one Word window to a different space, they all move. I've just upgraded to 10.5 from 10.4 and I'm afraid I need a bit of hand-holding.
Is this do-able? How can I do it?
Much obliged!

Until now I never had the need to have multiple Word windows open in different spaces but your post made me interested and I went to try it myself. I tried Word, PowerPoint and Excel that came with my Office 2008 and encountered that strange behavior only with Word, so it's not an issue related to MS-software in general but Word-specific.
Furthermore in system preferences I tried to assign a fixed space for Word to open and that didn't work either. No matter which space I assign to it Word always opens in the active space, whatever that may be at that moment. Obviously Word can't handle spaces. To me it seems like a bug because the other Office-apps behave the way they are supposed to do. I don't see a workaround at the moment. This answer is quite unsatisfactory, I know, but I hope I could help you anyway by posting my experiences.

One View in multiple Windows

Hi,
This is rather a note than a question and written purely in the hope of Google finding it if I (or someone else) ever need it again:
Situation: (V = view; W = window)
is displaying a table
has a view container with embedded in it
opens as a popup
contains
also has a view container with embedded in it
contains
--> as a picture: [Link to ImageShack|http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/684/constellation.png/]
in words:
A view showing a table is used in two other views . One of the using views is called in a popup window by the other using view .
What happens in this situation is a dump with this error message in the browser:
View Is Already Displayed in Window of Component {..}
Details:
As the error message says, may not be displayed by two windows at the same time. One might think that not displaying by making it invisible (either by using a parent container or other suitable element) should solve the problem...
Let me tell you before: IT DOES NOT!
Solution:
To really "hide" you need to display a different view instead of it in its View Container element.
The easiest way to do this is to add an EmptyView to the ViewContainer in , together with plugs to call the EmptyView and seperately.
Now you have to fire the plug for the EmptyView just before opening the popup . After closing the popup you have to fire the plug for . -> Voila, the same view is used in both windows!
Negatives:
1. Obviously you really cannot show the view in both windows at the same time, but as a popup with more than a yes/no question usually hides most things below it, this should not be the biggest issue.
2. When firing the plug for the view is built anew, meaning the whole WDDOINIT, ... running. Apart from having impact on your implementation of these methods, this might also be a pain in respect to performance.
Hope this helps! If anyone has helpful comments or wants to create a picture for the solution, please post!
Kind Regards

Finally got it-
This is a new security feature added in version 9.3.3.
Currently, when /workspace and /workspace/index.jsp commands are issued, a new instance of EPM Workspace is launched in a separate browser window. With the single instance feature, subsequent invocations of /workspace/ and /workspace/index.jsp opens items in EPM Workspace tabs, even when launched from an external URL. Single instance also prevents extra EPM Workspace windows from closing existing session(s) where multiple EPM Workspace windows were previously allowed.
URL Parameter to Override Single Instance Behavior:
By default, there can only be one instance of EPM Workspace on a client machine. However, there are instances where multiple sessions of EPM Workspace must remain open. For example, Financial Management may need to do a side by side comparison of applications. You can override the default setting to allow multiple window names with the URL parameter, multi_process=true appended to the EPM Workspace URL.
TL;DR Use /workspace/index.jsp?multi_process=true to utilize multiple sessions of Workspace.

Since installing the latest version... when I open a new window it opens everything I have minimized too... very annoying. How can I fix this, I mimimize to go back to a window not have multiple windows open.

== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== after installed last version...

Well, then isn't there some way to induce Firefox to give Windows parameters that make it open the fershlugginer window in the *same* position, instead of an offset position?

Firefox 4 opens multiple windows. Have tried every suggestion to fix but does not help. Does anyone know how to fix this?

I am a developer. Not sure if it was a programming thing or not but now FF 4.0.1 constantly opens up multiple windows each time I open it. Sometime around 3-4 and other times about 15 to 20 windows. I have searched your KB and Google and have tried every recommended fix but nothing helps. I am not infected, no malware and everything else is fine. I will provide remote access to my system via TeamViewer (or your option) if someone can please identify the problem or provide new details on how to troubleshoot this. I will have to find a new browser soon if this is not resolved. Many folks are suffering due to this...not just me.

This shit remains in Firefox 5. Nothing's changed.
Mozilla began to venture releasing a defective commodity.

When I launch address book, multiple windows open

When I launch address book, multiple windows open, and I can't find a way to close them unless I do it one at a time. I must have chosen at some point "open all contacts" or something like that, but am at a loss as to how to prevent this in the future. I've tried command +option+w, to no avail. Ideas? thanks!

Untick this box:
Or use alt/option + Cmd + Q to Quit and DIscard Windows.
Regards.
