More Than One App Window Open At A Time

Hi,
Having just done a complete fresh Erase & Install of OS X 10.6, after having had 10..4.11, I find that if I have more than one applications window open with another applications window on the screen ~ say a Finder window, and a Photoshop window, although if I select the "Show All" command, I can see them together on screen, but if I select either of the windows, the other applications window disappears ~ and it's driving me nuts ~ IYSWIM?
Although the disappearing or hidden window is useful, at times I find I need to drag something from one apps window to another. But if I try that, as soon as I select the item I wish to drag into the other app, that applications window disappears.
I know I'm being dense, but I just cannot sort it out. Can any kind soul please help or advise?
Many Thanks

No extra applications had been installed, just the OS X install, so to save time in the long term, I decided to reinstall OS X again, and now the problem is fixed.
With regards to your comments that an Erase & Install is a waste of time, I think thats a bit of a sweeping statement. As it depends on the situation and the users computer status. If you install programs on a regular basis, for say beta testing, then you can end up with a lot of crud in there. An erase & Install returns your machine to pristine condition. The important thing to remember is to plan well, and make good backups of your data, prefs and settings etc.
Thanks for responding all the same.

Hello - how do I have more than one app window open at a time on OS X 10.9.1

Hello - how do I have more than one app window open at a time on OS X 10.9.1? I do not want to hold the option key to have multiple apps open on my screen. Thanks.

Finder enhnacements installed? = no. I did a reinstall of Mavericks, not a full clean install = no help. Searched for "single-app mode" in Spotlight and the web, no luck.
With Safari open on screen, from dock, opened iTunes and Safari does not show on screen. Open Word from doc and iTunes is not on screen.
Attached some screen shots if these help.

More than one iTunes window open

I'm sure that I used to be able to have more than one iTunes window open at a time. I could have one showing the contents of my library and the other the contents of my iPod. This way by manually syncing, I could see what I'd already got on the iPod while browsing through the library to select new tunes to transfer. Has this feature been lost during a recent iTunes update (now running v8.1) or have I just forgotten how to do this - I'm sure it was easy to do?

It's OK - looks like you can't do this with a shuffle, I can do it with any of my other iPods plugged in but not the shuffle.

App switching on Mac with more than one InDesign window open

I wonder if this happens to everyone or if it's something with my set-up--to be precise, having Spaces active.
In OS 10.6.8, if I have more than one InDesign document open and I switch to another application using command-tab, when I switch back to InDesign I (often) see the content of the inactive document, even though the name tab of the original, active document is highlighted.
The only way to get back to work is to click the title tab of the (supposedly) active document, or use the command-tilde shortcut, or reselect the active document name from the Window menu.
This drives me crazy as I need to check a lot of things via a browser as I'm editing. It forces me to make sure I don't have 2 ID windows open.
I'm pretty sure the same kind of thing happens in Word.

I thought I'd follow my last post up with an update. I recently upgraded to InDesign CS6 and was hoping that the problem would be solved. Unfortunately, that isn't the case. However, I did find a fix that is working for me. I noticed that when I turned the Application Frame on (found under the Windows menu) that the problem went away. I'm getting used to working this way now. I have 16 Spaces which I routinely bounce around between. And now, every time I go to InDesign it works properly!

I have an issue with my mac book pro, where whenever i run certain programs that uses flash player or run more than one app for a period of time it shuts down and gives me an error report

is there a way i can submit my crash report here so someone could look at it and let me know what's causing the issue

Ipad, filing, folders, opening a document with more than one app...

Hi
I am wondering about iPad filing, documents and the future that iOS 5 and iCloud hold.
Am I right in thinking that there will still be no file/folder structure and that documents will be held individually by apps?
This creates two problems for me:
1) I need to access the same document (e.g. a pdf file) from more than one app. For example, say I need to use iAnnotate to mark it up and Sente to file it. However each app keeps their own copy of the document, so the annotated copy from iAnnotate is not the same copy as the one filed correctly in the Sente database.
2) How do I keep the files for a specific project together? Say I have source documents, word-processing documents, presentations, images etc all related to one project: how do I keep them all together? If we had tagging (as in openmeta or similar) I could tag them - works beautifully on the desktop but not available on the iPad. If we had folders I could at least group them in folders... What is is the iPad solution?
M

Here's how I address # 1:
I use DropBox as my central hub to keep documents accessible and synced between my iPad and my laptop. That means that I export, share, copy or print the document, with my changes, to DropBox from whatever application I'm using. For example, if I open a PDF in PDF Expert (the app I use for reading and annotating) I can "open" a copy in DropBox with my annotations. For Pages and other iWork files I use DropDAV which enables me to save to DropBox via WebDAV. For other apps like Safari that don't have DropBox integration, I use Save2PDF to "print" a PDF to the appropriate DropBox folder.
As to #2, two things come to mind. The first is that you can use the search function to find related files if you put your tag in the title or somewhere else searchable. The second is that I set up a file structure in DropBox on my laptop that meets my needs (and is also one way to begin to emulate a file structure on the iPad). For example, i keep my current course files, with their presentations, documents, and spreadsheets, in DropBox. But many of my projects have so many components and so many images, etc, I've become used to having components in different applications (Aperture, iTunes, etc) and I do rely on my laptop (and its external drives) for my central and final project management. For things in process, though, the iPad works very well.
ICloud may change all this. :-)

Some apps stay open when trying to close more than one app at a time in ios 7

I tried closing down 2 or 3 app at a time in IOS7 and there's always one or two that stay open. The icon at the bottom is still there but I've already swiped it up to close it. When I go out of the closing function and come back I see that they are still open and I need to close them again. I tried this on many ipads, iPhones and ipod touch and they all act the same way.
Chris

I guess you didn't know, but yes you can close more than one app at a time. You can close up to 3 apps at a time in the new IOS7 on the iPhone. Try opening at least 3 apps and then double click the main button to see what apps are opened. Then swipe to the left to see the three of them on your screen. Your not gonna see the ones on the side entirely but you can still put all three fingers on them, then simply swipe them up and it closes them up.
The thing is, when you have let say 10 apps open, and you start using this trick, some of them will stay open meaning you swiped them up to close them down but the bottom icon stays there. When you come back to your main IOS desktop and then go back to close the programs that you have opened, you can see that those apps are still opened. There is only like 2 or three out of all the 10 you had opened that stayed open, but none the less it's a bug in the system I presume.
You also asked about the icon at the bottom. When you are seeing what apps are opened, there is always a small icon at the bottom and on top you have a representation of what you were working on, and that is the part you swipe up. But often time the bottom icon will stay opened after swiping 2 or 3 of the apps to close them.

How can a file be accessed by more than one app?

Hi,
I am new to iOS4 and the whole iPhone, iPod technology. I am really a windows user.
How can a file be accessed by more than one app. In my case I want to transfer a midi file from my PC to my iPod Touch and be able to open it from a couple of Midi Players which I am evaluating - or does each Midi Player have to import the file seperately for its own use?
Thanks,
Sam

It seems to me that what you want is exactly a session bean will do. The EJB container is responsible to maintain a certain number instances (configurable) of your session bean and serve multiple clients at the same time. Session beans are not necessarily destroyed after serving a client. If you configure your ejb server to have a pool size of 2 to 100, then you will always have at least 2 instances (no more than 100 even there are a lot of client access) of this ejb ready to serve. The only thing not clear to me is that do you want to use only ONE instance of this bean or you don't care as long as multiple clients can access this bean's service? Since you mentioned that there is not a real database access, you can certainly use a Singleton but a 'regular' session bean with static fields should do it also if these fields will not be modified by clients.

My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8.

My hard drive has 70.93 GB available, yet when i have more than one internet tab open, i have to force quit google chrome because 'there is no more available application memory'. How can I solve this? I have a 2009 macbook pro running on 10.6.8. I have tried updating to mavericks through the mac app store but after it downloading for a day i got an error message saying there was a problem with the download. The same thing happens if i try to update itunes or the mac app store. After research, i have also tried repairing disk permissions, but every time they do get repaired the 'repair' button still appears, i'm not sure if it's because it was unable to repair the initial problems or if it just keeps detecting new ones.

2 GBs is a minimum in which you can do many things, but not concurrently. Be very careful to not install third-party add-ons, limit the number of applications you choose to enter in Login Items, run as few applications concurrently as you demand.
I would consider adding more RAM to your computer. Your model supports 8 GBs, so I would install that.

ADF UIX: communication between more than one browser window

Dear Sirs...
how can i open more than one browser window using ADF UIX and jdeveloper 10.1.2 such that the data entered in the second window affects the data in the first?
for example in the date field, a popup window appear that allows me to select the date, and then the selection appears in the first window.
how can i achieve something similar? i am using UIX not JSP
thanks for any help in advance
best regards

dear sir...
i am afraid you got me wrong, i am not talking about the database values.
let me give you an example of what i am trying to achieve:
1- create a date field, create an input forum to fill that field (uix page)
2- now you run the application, try to click the icon near the date field, a new popup window will appear, that helps you enter the date value.
3- when you select the value, the popup window disappears and the date is inserted into the forum
i am trying to achieve something similar.
thanks for your previous answer, but you got my question wrong.

Hallo,
Is it possible to open more than one app isntances in one browser (for example in two tabs, one app, two different instances of this app)?
Thank you!!

Hi go0ze,
on a local network, you could define multiple aliases on the DNS server. For internet facing apps, maybe you have luck with OHS/Apache rewrite or proxy rules that modify the path (e.g. /apex1/, /apex2/, ... requests get re-written to /apex/) or by providing more DADs.

my ipod will only download one app at a time and runs extremely slow. i was wondering if there is some way that i can make it download more than one app at a time and how can i make the app start downloading again after i have left my wi-fi zone and then went back in. im really confused.

Download everything on your computer in iTunes, then sync your iPod to iTunes.
You should be syncing (backing up) to iTunes and your photo app regurally, anyway.

Hi Ganguly,
It is possible to have more than one main window in a same page.
You create a main window and simply you copy and past it in the same page.. it will create first main window name as MAIN and other main windows as MAIN01,MAIN02.... up to MAIN99.
Contets flow from MAIN , MAIN01, MAIN02.......................MAIN99. contents after filling the current window it flows to next window(by default, you skip as well with some keyword not sure could be NEW-WINDOW)
you want print the main window data twice? or you want to create two main window in the same page ?
1. give two copies in the no of copies in the output type screen ( Which pop up is coming after excute the program ).
2. create two page with the same script form.
3. you can write the coding inside the program to print twice the same page.
Hope this information use full to you..
