Impossible to open two Metro IE side by side (single screen)

I want to do the following: Open Youtube.com and view a view, move it into snap view and them open another Metro IE to do some browsing while the Video is playing.
First: If I click the Window-Key to select an app, the Video playing stopps.
Second: I was not able to open a second IE next to the snap view, the new Browsing Window will always open in the existing app in the snap view, so I found it impossible to view two browser windows at the same time
Is there any way to do that?

2 Metro apps yes. But not the same app twice.
But I found a solution for my specific Problem:
http://apps.microsoft.com/webpdp/en-us/app/toolbox-for-windows-8/70e5e6af-017c-47e4-923b-db71bd9110ba
This app provides the possibility to view Maximum 6 Webbrowsers once.
I'm glad you found an answer, but I can't help laughing at the fact that Windows 8 RT needs a third party app to do something the OS should be doing.
Does anyone think they'll change the name Windows at some point, seeing as there aren't any...you know...windows in it?

How to Open Two Excel Files in Multiple Monitors in Windows 7

How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
I found this article in a blog it says
"The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"

If you are working almost the entire day in front of your computer at your office with lots of Excel Sheets and Word, then probably you might be working with a
dual monitor or may be even more than that. Studies have shown that having an additional monitor increases the productivity by 20 to 30 percent (Source: NY Times)
But some applications like MS Office Excel, even though you open multiple files, they are all from the same instance of the application. So if you want to compare two
Excel
files, then you may not be able to have it in two
separate monitors as the files are loaded using the same instance of Excel. If you move one
Excel
file to the other window, the other Excel files are also moved to the other window.
So how to have two separate Excel files or other application side by side in dual monitors?
Option A:
In Excel 2003, go to Tools -> Options ->
General tab.
Make sure the option, ‘Ignore other applications’ is checked. Now all the Excel files will be opened as separate instance and you can move the Excel files individually across the monitors.
In Excel 2007, Click the Office button ->
Excel Options -> Advanced.
Under General, check ‘Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange’.
or
As this method forces each Excel file as a separate instance, the memory consumption will be more. If you don’t want too many memory consumption then you can open only two instances (see
Option B) and manage wisely to view in both the monitors.
Note: If you are having issues like Excel opens without displaying a workbook, then you may have to
uncheck this option. (See Microsoft Help for more details on this). You can use option B in this case. I have this option checked and I have not faced any issue yet.
Option B:
They key here is, the application has to be loaded as separate instances. Lets say you have opened an Excel file in
Monitor 1 and you want to open the next excel file in Monitor 2. You can usually open another instance of Excel by browsing through the
Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
Excel. Make sure this newly opened Excel file is the last Excel file you had viewed and then double click on the Excel file that you wanted to open. This will force the Excel to
open
in the second instance of Excel. Now you can move these
two excel files separately across windows or monitors.
This may be little cumbersome way to open new instances of Excel every time. The easy solution would be to keep these links in the
quick links near the Start button. So, every time you want to open a new instance of the application, you can just use those quick links.
hope work thanks

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

How can I open two sites and view each side by side in a seperate window?

What is correct procedure to open and view two windows at the same time?

You can do that in different ways. 
You can open two window or tear off one tab to a new window (right-click a tab: Move to New Window) and resize both windows as you like.
You can also use an extension.

How to open two files in the one window in PSE11?

In older versions of PSE I was able to open two picture files in the same window by just resizing them smaller so that I could deal with them side by side........I couoldn't do it in PSE=10, and I upgraded to PSE11 and still don't know how to do it. Can somone assist me? Thanks..

In the Organizer select two thumbnails and hit the F12 key to compare them. But I guess you mean in the Editor application. In Expert Mode it‘s possible to work with floating windows rather than fixed tabs but you first need to set your preferences. Go to:
Edit >> Preferences >> General (Windows)
Photoshop Elements Editor >> Preferences >> General (Mac)
Then put a checkmark in the box against “Allow Floating Documents in Expert Mode”
Click OK
You can now open your two images and use the layout button at the bottom to choose various configurations or to cascade.

How can I open two windows in contacts

I am using MacBook Pro, 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5, 4GB 1333 MH DDR3, OSX Yosemite Version 10.10.1
In contacts I would like to know if there is a way to open two windows side by side so I can edit my group lists with my all contacts?

Thank you for your reply. I am trying to edit my Christmas Card List (group) with my All Contacts List. If I had a window side by side with each group in separate windows I could just compare the lists. The only other way I can think to do this is open my contacts on another device and have different group lists display on each device.

CS5 won't let me open two images at one time

I have been trying to open two separate images on the desktop at the same time in CS5. When I click on the second
image in Bridge, the first one that is open disappears. What am I doing wrong? I want to copy / move part of the second
image onto the first one and need both images open at the same time.
Thanks... carolyn

Ah... found the answer in the little box to the right of my question. The
problem was "tabbed windows' in prefs.
Thanks to the person who asked this question previously and to the person who
replied to it with the answer !
In the PS Application Bar (top of the window and auto selected if you have
the application frame active you have the Arrange Documents icon and the
Screen Mode icon (second from last and last at the left side)
With the arrange documents you can select different views for multiple
images that are tabbed. If you have 2 files open you only have the option
for two, if more you have other view options.
Just try it and and if you have set one image at the right place and zoom in
it's own field just go in the menu window/arrange and choose match all

When you have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac:
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5.1 files can not be opened in Pages 5.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has removed over 95 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?

My MacBook pro continues to be very slow after downloading Yosemite. It keeps referring to MacBook Pro (2). It's like there are two version running side by side. Any ideas?
It is now running Yosemite 10.10.1. I seem to have plenty of memory but the machine still runs slower than before installing Yosemite. Excel has a very noticeable lag when opening and loading files.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I ran through the various steps as suggested including resetting the SMC.
I would say that there was about a 10% improvement. Although one of the icons still bounced for the count of 40
I'm still wondering why from the About this Mac, then System Report. it refers to my name MacBook Pro (2).
All the various problems seem to have started with the upgrade to Yosemite.

Mail opens two Safari windows when I click on a link in email

When I click on a link in Mail, it opens in Safari -- that's the way I have it setup. Yet, the problem is that it opens two windows in Safari, one empty and one with the content of the link.
This is the second problem I have with Mail. The second one was posted to this discussion but it was not resolved. I repeat here the text of the problem:
I've been having a problem with mail for a while, when sending attached JPEGs from my Mac using Mail or Entourage. The photos are split -- say a 140 kb file will show up in my two other computers (both Windows PCs) as two files, one 65 kb and the other 75 kb, for example.
Yet, when I click on Mail's (in my Mac) sent folder and click on the particular sent email, it shows a full blown 140 kb attachment, not split.
Several weeks ago, my Mac Address book got cranky and for some reason it would repeat the name of an addressee. I finally deleted the name of that addressee and created a new entry and it seemed to work, so it did not split JPEGs -- or at least I thought that was the case.
Now it is back splitting the JPEGs but this time, the addressee's name is well formatted -- no repeats within the entries in the card in Address Book.
When I mail something from my Windows PCs and open it in my Mac, the file is complete.
What could be causing this split?

Do a malware check with some malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. 
You need to scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. 
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.

Is a Windows registry error responsible for Firefox opening two browser windows whenever I use a hyperlink from a Word file?

Whenever I use a hyperlink from an MS Word document, Firefox opens two windows instead of one. The first window is the one I need. The second contains a message that the page could not be found and the address bar contains the URL appended with "Firefoxhtml/shell/open/command".
This problem is similar but NOT identical to one in MozillaZine headed "Windows error opening internet shortcut or local HTML file - Firefox". But none of the solutions in that article work for my problem: I've disabled all extensions but that hasn't helped. I've tried editing file types so that the DDE is removed (I'm not a teccie so have no idea what that means), but after following the instructions to the letter it doesn't seem to remove the DDE. Also I read that removing the DDE is not a good idea for people like me who need to open numerous firefox browser windows at one time. Furthermore, the MozzilaZine article refers only to problems opening a URL link in a MS Outlook email when Firefox is NOT running. My problem concerns the opening of URL links in MS Word when Firefox IS running!
I've run countless different virus programmes, rootkit checkers etc but they all come up blank. However, I did come across guidance on this website: http://antivirus.about.com/od/windowsbasics/a/shellopen.htm which suggests that something may have altered the shell open command for two registry keys used by Firefox.
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htafile\shell\open\command
# HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\htfile\shell\open\command
The default value for each of these should be "%1" %*. But on my user, the default value reads:
(for htafile) c:\windows\system32\mshta.exe "%1"%*
(for htfile) c:\programfiles\windowsNT\hypertrm.exe"%1
What should the value be for these two files?
Can anyone sort this for me please? Bear in mind I'm not a teccie!

Terminal won't stop opening two windows.

Every time I open Terminal, it opens two windows. One window has a bunch of text at the top that appears to be old commands(perhaps that I had typed? I don't remember all that I've typed into Terminal since the beginning of time ) in grey and then the normal Terminal prompt in the usual green(that's the theme I have) after all the text. The second window is in a fullscreen space thingy(Lion's mission control interface) and it looks similar except the text is different and there is a LOT more of it.
I'm not quite sure what to do to make this stop. I've tried deleting the plist file for Terminal. I've tried restarting the computer. I've tried closing both windows, opeing a new one, positioning how I'd like it posistioned, then quitting Terminal by holding alt/option and cliking "Quit and Keep All Windows" from the Terminal menu.
Is there a place where there are setting files for an app's window positions/defaults?
It may also be good to mention, as it seems possibly relevant, that every time I open iPhoto, it opens in a fullscreen space much like the second Terminal window. I've tried similar things on iPhoto to get IT to stop doing this.
Thanks for any help!

Okay, so I actually found a solution to the problem!
I cannot claim it as my own since I found it on another discussion page as well as CNET, but I'll post what I did here for others to see.
The two helpful pages were:
http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-13727_7-20083707-263/managing-mac-os-x-lions-applic ation-resume-feature/
and
https://discussions.apple.com/message/15859853#15859853
What I did was:
1. Enable "Restore windows when quitting and re-opening apps" under General in System Preferences(I don't know for sure if this is necessary, but it seemed harmless with my new found knowledge as you'll see in a moment)
2. Navagate to "~/Library/Saved Application State/" in Finder
3. Find the folder named "com.apple.Terminal.savedState"
4. Move it to the trash
This resets the state that the application uses to open each time it opens, when you open it now, it'll recreate the folder
5. Launch Terminal
6. Open the Get Info dialog for the newly created "com.apple.Terminal.savedState" and tick the "Lock" checkbox
This prevents the contents of the folder from being changed, resultantly preventing ONLY Terminal from saving the state of it's windows on closing.
Not only did this solve THIS problem, but it opened up some cool options:
-By Locking any of these folders, one can keep a sort of template for how they'd like the windows of an application to open every time.
-One can leave on the "Reopen windows" preference but select applications for which they do not wan't it to work. It is a semi useful feature, and I can understand why it was added, it just seems like an oversigt that it was only a global or no feature.
-One can reset the window options of any trouble making apps in the future.
Note: This also solved the problem I was having with iPhoto!

Open two files / documents

Hell there
I just upgraded to CS 4. In CS 3 you could open more than one ID file and drag pages from one document to another, etc. etc. But by default, ID only opens one file at a time with a tile bar to switch between the two files.
Is there a way to set ID so that it opens two files like before?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Eric W.

In the Interface options, disable Open Documents as Tabs.
That said, instead of dragging pages, open the pages panel menu and use
the move pages command. It's far easier to use and much more precise.

Mail in fullscreen - open two or more messages

Hi
In Mail, full screen view, I want to have two or three messages open at once, for instance to copy and paste from one to the other. It seems I can't. Just one message can be open. If that's my draft, I have to save it to drafts, close it, then open the other message I want to view, then close that one and open my draft again. In non-full-screen view, you can have as many messages as you want open at once.
Also, in full-screen, I can't change the size of the window of the open message, or move it around to look at the mesage list beneath.
Is this how it's meant to be or have I missed something?

Thanks for your interest, I find the reason why Internet Explorer 7 is left hanging, and that is that it seems that on certain occasions (which are not) does not support on the same page html two applets, thus commented on webutiljini.htm as follows there is no problem in open multiple tabs with different applications.

I downlaoded Firefox 4 and now it won't let me open up on another screen..I have 2 screens side by side!!I used open up mulitable browsers and move them from screen to screen!Now i cant..Only opens to screen 1!!

Before i downloaded Firefox 4, i could open up mulitable screens and move them from screen to screen..I have one computer with 2 screens side by side..Say i open up your browser and then open up another browser session,I could then move that browser session to the other screen,,Great for researching and looking at different websites side by side!!Now i cant even shrink it and move that browser to the other side(other screen)..Before i could!!!

A brief and probably non-helpful answer: I know of no way to eliminate your large amount of duplicates other than by repetitive, tedious manual effort.
*There has got to be a simpler way.*
I hope you're right, but I don't think there is a simpler way.
BACKUP: It also appears that the only way I can back up the catalog is to shut down LR. Really?!
Yes, really
