Multiple Apps of Same App?!?

Is it possible to have multiple apps of the same thing? For example is it possible to have two facebook apps installed?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

It shouldn't be but it depends on how the apps have been written. I did have it happen where I had two Facebook apps installed but one was a beta version. When it happened I wasn't able to use both, as only one showed an icon but two showed in the list of apps. I deleted the older one and the newer one still worked. The short answer is no, but it does happen on rare occasion.

Multiple entries for same apps showing next to 'Open With' in contextual menu since last backup

I did a back up of my MBPs internal drive recently, using Carbon Copy Cloner - since then there are multiples of the same icons for all apps under 'Open With' in the contextual menu. I seem to remember there being a command line that could be entered in Terminal to fix this, but I can't find it anywhere.
Can anyone help?

Yes, LaunchServices. These are only cache files but can get corrupted. Launch /Utilities/Terminal and copy & paste this at the command line to rebuild LaunchServices: (be sure to copy the entire line it's a scroll)
Code:
/System/Library/Frameworks/CoreServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/LaunchServices.framework/Versions/A/Support/lsregister -kill -r -domain local -domain system -domain user
Then press return. Wait until terminal returns to the command line. Quit Terminal. After that, log out and back in or restart. Let us know

Multiple lines for same app on daily trend report?

Hey All,
This is my first app and my first time reading the reports so pardon me if I am confused. I noticed that there are several lines (about 20) on my trend report all for the same App. From reading about the trend reports it seemed like each app was supposed to have only 1 line. Can anyone tell me whats going on? The only thing I can think of is that I switched my primary category so maybe while the app was transitioning strange things happened. Thanks.

Typical behaviour is that it'll start to drop off a bit. You'll then probably get a boost at the first update assuming your release date gets bumped. Big boosts come from being featured but for most developers that remains a dream.
Basically it's all about visibility. When you're on the first page of your category people are a lot more likely to buy than when you're on the 10th.

Contextual menu in finder "open with" has multiple entries of same apps

When I use the contextual menu (right click) on documents, the menu point "open with..." shows multiple entries of the same programs. For example when right clicking a PDF, there appears 5 times neoOffice, 2 times Preview, 6 times ... any other application that you could use to open the document. This occurs on all user accounts, only that the multiplicity of listings of the apps is different. So it can't be a preferences problem on my account. What else could be the cause?
This is quite annoying because the apps-list becomes very long and unusable.
Note: I have 2 internal start up disks with OS and apps installed, but only one mounted. That means, there cannot be a duplicate (triplicate...etc) copy of any app accessible at any time.
Thanks.

if I quit all running applications, it will be pretty hard to put anything in the Trash!
Are you being literal? Like quitting the Finder too? Or what bespeaks you?
Actually, I use Xupport to do that, but I think Onyx and several other Utilities include that option.

How to have multiple windows of same app under JSF 1.1

I know this has been addressed in JSF 1.2, but does anyone have a good solution in JSF 1.1 concerning how to allow multiple application instances to be opened in different browser windows at the same time? I work for a large financial services company and we have multiple instances of the same application up when working with more than one customer or account at the same time.
We�ve figured out a way to use a custom variable resolver and property resolver to provide an application instance scope that works with managed beans; however, we are struggling with how to handle the JSF component tree. We can replace the StateManager or ViewManager, but we will be running under a vendor implementation of JSF and do not want to outright replace their implementation. We wanted to simply define our own manager, decorate the viewId with additional information, and then pass it on to the default manager. The big issue is that while the restoreView methods take the viewId, the writeState methods do not. This seems like a pretty big show stopper to us. If we have to wait until JSF 1.2, it will be a long wait. Any ideas?
Thanks.

The way I'm thinking of doing this is to use nested beans. So for example, I'd have an "AccountBean" written as a JSF managed bean, but this is not what I'd declare in faces-config. Instead, I'd have an "AccountMgr":
<managed-bean>
<managed-bean-name>acctMgr</managed-bean-name>
<managed-bean-class>AccountManager</managed-bean-class>
</managed-bean>AccountManager would have a map of AccountBean objects. In my pages, I'd reference the acctMgr:
#{acctMgr.accts[acctEditor.acctId].firstName}If anyone has a better idea, I'd love to hear about it.

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes

In iPad 1 ios 4 may have two ipad Apps the same from two accounts itunes one free other paid account, hence one free App and another paid App the same App?

If both accounts are authorised on your computer's iTunes (Store > Authorise This Computer) then you can download the books from both accounts to there (download the books from one account, then sign out of it via Store > Sign Out, log in with the other account via Store > Sign In and download the books from the other account), and sync them over to the iPad's iBooks app via the Books tab.
Or you might be able to sign out of your account on the iPad by tapping on it Settings > Store and sign in with the other account and download the books from that account - I think that it should work, but it's not something that I've tried so I'm not 100% sure that it will

HT5622 Can you have multiple apple ids and all share the same apps and music?

I have multiple devices, iphone 5s (myself), mini ipad (son), 5th generation ipod (daughter). When I receive imessages they are going to the other devices and not my phone. Is this because I have all devices set up on the same Apple User ID or am I missing something in Settings that needs to be turned on/off? I have all devices under the same User ID to control the purchases. Now I'm thinking maybe each device needs to have it's own User ID and if I switch them now, will we all still share the same apps and music? Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated.

Wouldn't you only need to create a new apple ID and put that on your phone instead of your old apple ID that is merged?

Can I gift the same app multiple times to multiple users?

Can iTunes handle multiple versions of the same app?

Now that iTunes, iOS, and iDevices have been around long enough for users to have multiple devices on multiple iOS versions, is Apple doing anything to allow users to run multiple versions of the same app through iTunes?
Case in point I have an older iPhone running iOS-5 with a few apps that are now running exclusively on iOS-7, my new iPhone is on iOS-7. Once I sync my new phone with the updated versions of the app, iTunes usually dumps the old version into the trash bin. But what if I need that older version to continue running it on my iOS-5 iPhone?
Is there a workaround for this? I've considered using an old PC as my base computer for sycning the new iPhone, but I still fear that the new app updates will go to all devices running on my iTunes account through iCloud.
If Apple doesn't address this problem at some point then as the years go by certain iDevices will eventually become completely useless even if they are a fully functional piece of electronics.
(spare me the "that's their plan, corporate greed" replies).
Thanks in advance!

Yes, the apps SHOULD be developed to work with the new stuff, No, not all apps keep their old versions in the App Store, BUT, finally Apple has ALLOWED developers to have multiple versions of an App in the store.
The problem isn't about retarding development, it's about Apple trying to force users to buy new things that they don't need because the old thing, though it works just fine & has the apps that you need, is unable to be used because the apps have been updated in iTunes. Why can't you allow me to keep Facebook 5.0.1 for my old iPhone 3G that is used as an iPod, Facebook 6.7.2 for my iPod Touch & Facebook 19.6.4 for my new iPhone 8? As of now I can download the old version on the old device, but when I sync it it always tries to 'Update' it & then says 'Can't be updated because this version is incompatible with this device' making the sync take 3x as long & meaning that if my device crashes for some reason or I choose to restore it becasue of problems I have to go find the old version, hoping that I saved it, delete the new version, drag in the old version, THEN sync & then move the old version back before updating from my other device (Having done this with the 3G & iTouch 4 for years I learned that when the sync transfers purchases from the phone it 'replaces' the file instead of moving the old 1 to the trash).
Some of these apps I have purchased, & by forcing the update to remove the old version Apple is essentially taking something I have purchased & saying I am no longer allowed to use it.
Just in the what 3 months since the new iOS came out I have noticed that now over half of the apps can't be run on my iPod Touch 4G.
It's simple, iTunes should either:
Keep a record of the devices that have synced (I know, it already does) & keep the newest version for the lated iOS in iTunes
Let users have multiple versions of the same app in iTunes & allow us to disable update checks for certain apps
Allow users to choose to download from iTunes the different versions of the apps available from the developer
OR
Allow users to edit the info on Apps, unlinking them from their original & updates & allowing users to keep an old version & still download a new 1

Multiple instances of one app of the same name

Hello,
we have few FMS/AMS servers, versions 4, 4.5 and 5, running some kind of internet TV tubes on them.
Each tube is supposed to run as unique instance of a Tube app, with unique settings for publishing to CDN (Akamai).
Sometimes following scenario happens: We reload the stream via administration console or administration API with use of reloadApp command, instance starts closing sequence, even triggers onAppStop event. But as the new instance starts, the old process wakes up again and lives together with the new one - when I check then throught administration API with use of getActiveInstances command, it shows me more instance of the same name as result - for example:
-<data>
<_0>tv_app/tube25</_0>
<_1>tv_app/tube2</_1>
<_2>tv_app/tube21</_2>
<_3>tv_app/tube2</_3>
<_4>tv_app/tube2</_4>
</data>
From logs I can see that each of that instances runs under different process ID (x pid column).
This is quite unpreffered behaviour, as with the same connection settings the multiple instances steals the connection to CDN entry point from each other which causes problems and unpredictable behaviour...
I have following questions related to this:
1. - Why the onAppStop is triggered when using reloadApp and unloadApp commands or buttons in admin console, when documentation says that this event should not be triggered on these ocassions (see http://help.adobe.com/en_US/adobemediaserver/ssaslr/WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7 edfSSASLR.2.3.html#WS5b3ccc516d4fbf351e63e3d11a11afc95e-7fe2SSASLR.2.3)
2. - How is it possible that system runs more instances of the same app with the same name? How to avoid such behaviour?
I already noticed following aspects to have influence on the possibility to run multiple instance with the same name and got rid of them but problem still persists:
- case sensivity of app name (one client connects to TV_app/tube2 and other connects to tv_app/tube2)
- using false as return value in onAppStop event handler - when reloaded, new instance is started but the old one persists
I am very eager to hear some explanation or clarification of such logic as it comes to me as some kind of internal bug as I have found everywhere that the instances names should be always unique....
Thanks

I just want to note that my recommendations led my clients to purchase more than 5 licences of FMIS/AMIS througt the time.
As I see how low is the passion to react to any problem on Adobe side, I would have probably changed my mind.
This is really pain in the *** as any call to adobe official contact (taken on mind that to find one is a big quest by itself) lead just to reply "pay nasty amount for our consultancy Sir!" and it does not look any better here....
I am no novice on FMS/AMS platform, working with it more than 6 years throught many projects and I would not ask for some stupid questions which could be solved just by looking to documentation or could be solved by some performance eperience.
I am really upset for this :/

Multiple apps (instances) same server?

Hi all,
          Are there any known issues with having multiple apps share the same weblogic.jar file?
          I have a Tomcat server that has the same app installed twice; Productive and Test.
          When both are started, they seem to be unable to read from their queues. The following exception was thrown:
          [Security:090398]Invalid Subject: principals=[jndi, Deployers, Monitors, Operators]
          When we only started one instance (either Productive or Test) the single instance worked perfectly.
          Now, we have installed both instances on seperate servers and have started both and they also appear to be working perfectly - however, it would be more ideal for us if we could get them working in harmony on the same server.
          Is it not possible to share the weblogic.jar file?
          Cheers,

barnes,
          Thanks your response.
          The application (both) do create their own threads (daemons), but I can not see how they could be intertwined.
          I've ran tests to make sure they do reference their own settings (memory) and all seems to be ok.
          What I can't test is the internal workings of Tomcat, maybe somehow something goes awry internally there!?
          When I get a chance, I'll run some more tests... If I get something working, I'll post the results here (if I get the time).
          Cheers

Multiple web apps sharing same cache in a single JVM ?

Is it possible to share cache across multiple web apps running in the same app server (multiple web apps, single JVM) ?
Thanks for any info.

Hi Bob,
Cluster membership is scoped to the ClassLoader, so if your application server provides a ClassLoader-per-application, this will work fine.
This is supported for both Coherence (NamedCaches) and Coherence*Web (HTTP sessions).

Multiple apps using same files, how to lock them?

Hi all,
I have a unique situation (or so I think). We are running our apps in Citrix servers, such that many users log in to a single citrix server and run our java apps. The problem is, it will be possible that more than one user might use the same app and start to work with the same file.
I have seen the new NIO package, read that it has better file locking and stuff. I guess what I am after is a way to graphically display the user using a given file, with some other features. Basically, if user 1 runs the app, and clicks on a file, they have sole access to it. Now, if user 2 runs the same app, what I would like to see if I can do is in user 2's view of the file system, they see somethine like:
xxxx.txt
yyyy.xml (user1)
zzz.bat
So, somehow, I want to update the JList view of each users view either every so often, or when they click on a file that is being used by another, to let them know that it is locked AND the user who has locked it. This way, they can at least ask that user if they can "unlock" their use of it.
Ideally, if there is some way for two or more copies of the same program (running on the same or different citrix servers) could communicate with one another to constantly update each other of file lock status, that would be great. However, if this is more complex than a few hundred lines, it is a rare occassion that this will happen so it is not worth the effot. Mainly, I need to minimally make sure that if a file is locked by one user, when another user tries to use it they are notified that it is locked.
Thanks.

How about doing file maangement through your server? Keep a database of what files are checked out by whom

I have multiple in app purchases on my ipad and i downloaded the same apps on my iphone, and signed into gamecenter and icloud but when i go on my iphone nothing is htere except the original app i backed up both devices, but idk what to do after that

hi

Hi Krazymofozjr,
If you are having issues transferring or restoring your in-app purchases to the same app on another device, you may find the following article helpful:
If you don’t see your in-app purchases - Apple Support
Note: Not all in-app purchases may be restorable, depending on the type of purchase and the choice of the developer.
