Is it possible to have 2 profiles open at the same time? instead of having to open and close firefox everytime you want to switch.

I have several profiles and was wondering if it is possible to have more then one open at the same time? At the moment I am having to close the current firefox browser to open up a different profile.

See these support articles.

How do I keep all the windows on my MacBook open at the same time?

How do I keep all the windows on my MacBook open at the same time?

They are always open until you close or minimize them. They may be behind other windows, but if you haven't physically closed them, then they are still open.

Is there any way to have two garagebands open at the same time?

I'm remixing a NIN song, and I need to have two garagebands open at the same time, is this possible? If so, please help!!

it is possible, but you'd be on your own if there's a prob, and you can't copy and paste between them if that's what you're trying to do

Any way to have two DVD SP projects open at the same time?

Hi
Since it is likely that I'm going to re-build all the menues in my PAL DVD in a new NTSC project, I'd like to know if there is any way for me to have two separate DVD Studio Pro projects open at the same time. That way I can easily check and copy location coordinates for the buttons, copy text, etc, etc.
When I open my new project when the old still open, DVD SP just closes the old and opens the new project.
If it was possible, it would make everything much easier for me, since I have 15 menues to re-create
Thanks!

If you just require a visual reference, you can take screen grabs of your first project and open them in Preview...
Open your project, and press Shiftcommand(apple)4 and the pointer turns into a little cross-hair.... you then click-hold & drag a marquee around the section of the screen you need as reference, then when you release the mouse button a screen grab is taken of that portion you selected.
It will be saved to your desktop as 'Picture 1'
you can repeat this for different sections of the project (picture 2, picture 3 etc), and open them in preview.
Not an ideal solution, but might be of help.

Users cannot have iPhoto 11 open at the same time

I am having the problem that if both my Wife and I are logged in, we cannot both have iPhoto 11 open at the same time. We have separate libraries, so it's not a library sharing issue. I thought it might be a permission issue, so I:
1)copied both libraries to an external Fat32 drive to get rid of the permissions,
2)then copied them back to the Mac,
still could not open my iPhoto if she had hers open and vice versa.
I wanted to eliminate all possible permission problem possibilities, so I:
1)re-formated the mac,
2)and did a fresh install of 10.6 off the retail DVD,
3)applied all updates,
4)and installed iLife 11 off the retail DVD.
I then just opened iPhoto under her account, created a new library, then tried the same under my account, and it still would not open. I just get the grey window with a pin wheel for hours.

Dear, you're not alone.
i've also open a topic on this problem. :

Help I can only have max. 3 osx apps. open at the same time ?

Help I can only have max. 3 apps. open at the same time ?
If I have 3 apps. open, and try to open a 4th. this message comes up :
The application "Mail" cannot be launched. -10810
Of cause if I'm trying to open up something else than mail, lets say iPhoto, it will say "iPhoto".
This is very weird to me, and I'm normally pretty good at solving issues myself, but I'm stuck with this one.
Please help out

I've had this quite a lot too. Do you find that under these conditions you can't load a disk image either?
At first I put this down to Rosetta taking up a lot of resources. I was running OmniWeb with a lot of pages open in the workspaces so I've switched back to Safari until OmniWeb is UB. This morning I read that having Windows file sharing switched on helps to cause this problem. I switched this off, rebooted and ran disk utility to repair disk permissions and I've been running OK since then. I've currently got 13 apps open plus Finder and Widgets. They include 2 bigguns, Eclipse/MyEclipse and Visual Paradigm for UML. It'll probably stop working now I've written that.
I run a MBP 17 with 2GB memory. My guess is that Windows file sharing does cause problems. I just hope Apple has resolved this in 10.4.7... whenever that is.

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them

Why does mountain lion "bunch up" all my microsoft office documents that I have open when I hit f3? When I had snow leopard for example, if i had 4 or 5 different microsoft office documents open at the same time I could hit f3 and easily pick one of them.
Notice how in the photo, I can't identify which MS office document I would like to switch too. Perhaps since the Dashboard and Desktop windows are at the top of my screen now Apple doesn't let you have all the applications take up the full screen and be sized individually so that you can have a better idea on what to pick.
I like the idea of grouping to an extent... If you have a bunch of random things it was hard for me to decifer between what was safari, chrome, or word. But now that they grouped them like this, if you have multiple pages of one program running, you can't switch between those pages easily like before.

If I wanted to open any of my Applework documents I had to open them one at a time and resave them with pages. This could take weeks.I have 1000s of apple work documents.
You don't have to open and re-save every AppleWorks document you have right now. Just wait till you need one, then do it. The documents aren't going anywhere.
Am I dealing with Microsoft? This was a BIG surprise to me that Apple would release an OS without testing all programs.
Frankly, it is not Apple's responsibility to ensure compatibiltiy with every piece of software available for OS X. That is the responsibility of the software vendor. Lion has been available to developers for several months before it's release, so Microtek had plenty of time to update their software. Yet they did not. How is that Apple's fault? I think Apple was very generous to give you a refund for Lion.
I'm not trying to belittle your frustration but I do think your ire is misplaced.

How do I open multiple Firefox home pages? I want all of my different Firefox email accounts open at the same time. I recently upgraded to Win7 and now I have to close and open Firefox to access another email acount!

I want 3 separate, distinct Firefox home pages for each of my 3 email accounts to be open at the same time.

Questions are typically followed by a question mark. My answer answered your question.
Firefox doesn't do email, so there are no "Firefox email accounts". If you are accessing "email" with Firefox, you are using web mail. Some web mail services don't allow for direct access, they want their users to access their email from a "portal" or "main" page and will re-direct any attempt to load an "internal" web site page back to the main page.
As far as loading 3 different web mail accounts at the same time, if they are in the same domain it won't work on Firefox without a Firefox addon. http://br.mozdev.org/multifox/
IOW, if those three email accounts all with Yahoo, without that add-on you would have to logon to each email account separately and log out of the first before logging into the 2nd. Then log out of the 2nd before logging into the 3rd. Firefox isn't capable of having multiple session cookies for simultaneous logon's to the same server. That add-on provides that "multiple sessions cookies" feature.

I am doing two people's jobs and I need to use two separate log-ins on the same website. How can I keep both log-ins open at the same time. Everytime I switch tabs I have to log in again.

Can I have mail and contacts open at the same time

I really want to be able to have one or more iCloud Apps open at the same time; for example, I may be looking up some info on a contact or in calendar in order to mail someone. At times I have just opened a different tab, but it seems that iCloud then gets messed up.
I am running Windows 7 at work and the latest version fo Chrome.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Bryan

Hi,
I don't know in Chrome, but in Safari (pc or mac) you can open icloud.com twice on two different tab or windows and open one with contact and the other in Mail without messing up. What kind of mess to do you experience?
There is no other options to do what you want to do. You need to click on the little top cloud to switch from one to another.
Beside, I don't understand why even 2 open tab would help more than having to switch via the cloud icon. I may need to cut/paste some info from contact or calendar from time to time, but switch via the cloud icon is not really painfull.

When i have 4 or 5 browser windows open at the same time, sometimes they get grouped into one tab and i can not ungroup them. why does this happen?

4 or 5 browser windows open at the same time. Tabs are down in the control bar. every now and then they just combine into one pop up. can't undo and very annoying. Have to close all out and start over.

This can happen if you drag a tab slightly down in the browser window while clicking.
Firefox has a feature called tear-off tabs
You can detach a tab from the current window and open it in a new window by dragging a tab in the browser window.
You can also do this via the right-click context menu of a tab: Move to New Window
You can drag that tab back to the tab bar in the original window to undo that detaching.

I want to have 2 windows open at the same time using Windows7

Using any application, I want to have 2 windows open at the same time - 1 excel sheet & 1 Word document, or 2 diff pages from Blackboard, or email & Blackboard. How do I do this. Multiple tabs show, but only one will display

Are you saying that you can't open a new window using {Ctrl + N} or with File > New Window?
If so, something added to Firefox is blocking the opening of new windows, and you need to do a little troubleshooting to discover what is causing that fault.
Try the Firefox SafeMode. 
''A troubleshooting mode, which disables most Add-ons.'' 
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default Theme.)''
# You can open the Firefox 4/5/6/7 SafeMode by holding the '''Shft''' key when you use the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
# Or use the Help menu item, click on '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' while Firefox is running. 
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the Firefox shortcut (without the Shft key) to open it again.''
If it is good in the Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one.

Can I have 2 browsers open at the same time

I heard from my friend that I cannot have 2 browsers open at the same time. He said that it will damage the computer. I have an iMac with the intel chip. I do somethings online that I need 2 browsers open for long periods of time. Is this okay?

Yes of course you can. I have run Safari, Firefox, Chrome and Opera simultaneously.

Am I able to. Have two apps open at the same time? Also how do I play music while online browsing?

Is it possible to use two apps at the same time? For example having Pinterest open and listening to a playlist on YouTube? Or fact checking a "pin" from a site with safari while looking at the actual site?

You can click and drag on a tab to "tear" it out into a new window. Or you can open a new window by pressing Control+N, or by hovering over "New Tab" in the Firefox menu and then choosing "New Window" from the sub-menu that appears.
