Multiple Instances of Preview running

I've noticed on my iMac G5 that when I double click a PDF file it launches Preview, but instead of opening using the icon already in my Dock, another Preview icon appears. If I click to open the one already in my Dock, I have two copies of Preview running (verified in Activity Monitor). Both show that they're the same version and both point to the same path in the finder? Anyone else seeing this?
FYI, this doesn't happen on my MBP and both were upgraded using the Archive and Install option. I've also run repair permissions and it comes back error free.
Thanks.

Thanks Steve. Yeah, I ended up doing something similar. At first I trashed the dock icon, dragged it back from the applications folder, but got the same result as before. Then I trashed the dock icon, double clicked a PDF that launched Preview, and then choose "keep in dock" and that stuck. Now I'm no longer getting two copies of Preview. Very odd behavior.

Multiple instances of ichat running at once

Very short version of events:
doing long distance tech help for elderly friend (which is agonizing beyond belief 'cause I can't screen share). On her machine ---
iChat starts up fine, in fact it will start up more than once, she can have multiple instances of iChat running simultaneously. That's the first issue.
Once iChat is started up and you check the iChat menu, Preferences is greyed out. That's the second issue.
Also under the iChat menu, Accounts shows... no account. That's the third issue.
All three symptoms 'should' be impossible.
I have deleted the various iChat pref files
Restarted the computer
Both to no avail
Switching to the Guest account and starting iChat from there behaves normally, it does the 'welcome new user.... let's set up your account' type thing.

Hi,
I must admit I did think Parental Controls (Even if tested in a new Account which would have effected even an Admin Account) would have been a large part of this.
----- Would have made sense, but not the case.
Is she starting this from an iChat Icon that is in the DOCK already ?
I have, through Skype screensharing, watched her start it up from iChat in the Applications folder. Each time she double clicks the app or does the File>Open thing another iteration of it appears in the Dock.
If so then Drag this Off the DOCK and let go (Puff of Smoke Animation)
Go to the Applications Folder and drag the app back to the DOCK.
--- Yep, been there, done that too.
This will Renew the link between the app and DOCK icon.
Can she also do a Get Info on the app and say which version it is ?
Either from the Finder's File menu or Highlight the app in the Applications folder then use the Apple/CMD ( or ⌘) + i keys together. (Example below)
If she has a Leopard or Snow Leopard computer then she can also use Quick Look.
(If she has OS 10.5.8 and iChat 4.0.8 it will show as iChat 4.0.9 here)
Can you also tell me which version of the OS she is Running ?
--- 10.6.7
This is because iChat gets Updated with certain OS Updates
and iChat is 5.0.3
For Instance, Snow Leopard at 10.6.1 updates iChat 5 to iChat 5.0.1 and at OS 10.6.3 iChat gets updated to version 5.0.3 (where it has remained). As Leopard goes from 10.5 to 10.5.8 there are many more updates to iChat. iChat gets to version 4.0.8/4.0.9 (As in the last pic) depending on a security Update after 10.5.8 was released).
If she does a Spotlight Search does she see more than one version of iChat ?
--- Nope. And I've done an 'enhanced' Spotlight search including 'everywhere' (ie System, Libraries and, jut for kicks, invisible folders), in the event that God forbid somehow or other she hid another copy somewhere else unintentionally. I can say with certainty that there is ONLY one copy of iChat on the machine.
Mine does as I have Cloned the Drive
At this point I am also wondering if her account on the Mac has been introduced from somewhere else (another Mac) as part of an Update/Upgrade process.
---- Nope. It was created 'from scratch' when she bought the machine and has been performing flawlessly for about 10 months.
If so is there a "Previous System" Folder on her Hard Drive at the top Level (Click the Hard Drive icon itself).
If there is an Applications folder in here (if it exists) it may contain a version of iChat that is linked to the DOCK icon and be the one that tries to launch first . The earlier thing of dragging the icon off the DOCK and dragging it back again will sort that.
If she is sure she has everything she wants from the "Previous System" then she can delete it.
--- Not relevant, never done a reinstall
I can sort of recreate this state.
If I launch iChat normally then use Terminal to start iChat a second in the DOCK is created.
This one if the Front app does not have access to the Preferences and the Accounts sub menu item is also Empty
See My Force Quit window
---- Yep, that's what hers looks like.
However it seems to differ in that the Buddy Lists are not duplicated (That may be due to a Add-On Called Chax that I use and I get shown the All Contacts Buddy List) The all Contact list does not have my Buddy Pic and never fills in with any Buddies.
---- No 'add ons' of any kind on her machine. 'Factory stock' (make for easier trouble shooting )
If I revert to the regular iCon I have Preferences and it shows Accounts in the Sub menu item.
Do her icons vary in what they show ?
--- Nope
Does she use the Icon in the DOCK to launch iChat or is it some other form of Link such as a AppleScript they may use Terminal to do it for her ?
---- She has in the past used the Dock icon. Still uses it, but with the weird result.
I am trying to get an understanding on this for several reasons.
1) I would like to know what is creating it before suggesting a Reinstall of iChat
---- An interesting idea. So, being a pretty adept Mac guy, and not adverse to trying 'outside the box' solutions, here's what we did....
I have the same OS version and same iChat version on my machine.
Got her to compress the existing copy of iChat in her Applications folder
'Sent' her a copy of my iChat through my MobileMe iDisk
Guided her through dragging and dropping it into the Applications folder (remember I said 'outside the box'?)
Had her do File>Open on that copy of iChat....
Same results - No preferences, no accounts of any kind.
To me this says that it is not the application itself but something else. What exactly that something else is, remains a mystery. Further corroborating that the app itself is 'good' is that as you may recall she WAS able to get it to start up in her Guest account and it behaved normally, asking for her account info etc.
2) I am curious
3) I would prefer to use less "destructive" methods before resorting to Reinstalling the app.
--- She's emailed back after having spoken to Apple support. Machine is still under warranty so she is taking it to an Apple Store on Monday. From the way she describes the support phone call it sounds like she might have gotten elevated a couple of levels during the call.
I sense a 'system reinstall' in the very near future.

Multiple instances of firefox running cannot kill in task manager "Access denied"

There's no issue with starting a new instance after closing one, the "firefox is already running" error is not occurring (ok maybe once or twice a month, but it's not related to this problem, as my problem happens all the time.)
Apparently when closing a ff window it never fully stops. My computer slows down because of it and these multiple instances of firefox show up in Task Manager. When I try to kill the extra processes it just goes "BANG" and the "access denied" error dialog box appears. They are all running under my user account, and in CPU some are just 10 or 25 and some are in the hundreds and some are over a million. what the heck is going on?
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit and ff 23.0 but this has been happening since about ff 15 (?)

When closing Firefox completely, it is important to close it using the <i>Exit</i> button, located inside of the Firefox/File menu.
Another cause to this problem could be a Firefox preloader. Do you have any programs that will load Firefox automatically? They are supposed to improve start time.
You can also '''try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* Open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
I hope that one of my solutions helps to fix your problem. Please report back with updates soon.
<b>NOTE: </b>You are using an outdated version of Firefox. This can cause security and functionality issue. Please update to the most recent version as soon as possible.

Then you haven't followed the method correctly. That error is
addressed specifcally on that site, as that error is the main
reason for the site. Did you read the note about the "known
bug" because of the one port that is not included in the
sample file?
If you had tried the first method (set up a second IP and
started both servers with the command line option providing
an IP) there is no way this error could happen.
If you followed the second method, and specified a different
port for every port listed (including the one that is not in the
sample file per default) then there is, once again, no way that
this error could happen.
The error happens on the second server because it is trying
to bind the same port, using the same address, as the first
server, which is impossible if you fully implement one of the
two methods described there.

Multiple instances of AppleSpell running

Multiple Instances of OCR running at the same time

I often need to OCR large documents (many thousands of pages) whcih can take an hour or 2, while this process i happening I cannot view or use any otehr acorbat documents.
Is it possible to have acropbet runing doing and OCR and also have a second instance running enabling me to view edit otehr documents?
Thank you

You might be able to open up a second instance of Acrobat, I haven't tried uner a Windows 7 or 8. I probably have done that using Acrobat 4 or 5 with whatever was the current version of Windows at the time. You can run Reader and Acrobat so you may be able to get some work done. Of course, Acrobat being busy, should not stop you from creating pdf files either.

Yep, it works.

Multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe while using Windows Explorer Preview Pane

I'm trying to understand why our computers behave differently while browsing PDF files using Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on.
All are Windows 7 Pro 32-bit.
The scenario: Open Windows Explorer with the preview pane turned on, go to a folder full of PDF files, and start single-clicking on them, one by one down the list. Keep Task Manager open, on the Processes tab, showing processes from all users, as you click on the PDF files.
On two of the computers, you can keep clicking right on the down the list, and the preview pane shows the PDF file contents immediately with each click. The Task Manager does not show any instances of AcroRd32.exe running, and the machine does not slow down no matter how quickly you go down the list of files. You can keep clicking all day.
On the other two computers, as you keep clicking down the list, after about six or seven clicks, the machine starts getting slower and slower in responding to display the PDF contents. In Task Manager, you see multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe executing, and the list keeps growing with more instances - I've seen up to 8, with memory allocations to some of the instances approaching 700MB! One of the CPU cores goes to 100%. If you stop clicking in Windows Explorer, eventually, the machine recovers, and the list of multiple instances of AcroRd32.exe shrinks, but never goes away completely until you close the Explorer window.
What could account for this difference? One of the users is complaining - he often browses folders of scanned PDFs looking for invoices, transactions, etc., and has to go slowly to keep his machine from bogging down. I don't know when this behavior started.
It doesn't matter if it is a shared folder on a network resource or one locally on the machine, or if it is an admin or standard Windows account - the behavior is the same. I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling Adobe Reader, to no avail.
Thanks for any ideas.

Yes i'm having this issue to.
Becomes worse after display many documents in pane, worst even if scanned images are in.
After killing the process, sometimes it generate even more process.
After Killing all the process, sometimes need to deactivate the pane view and activate
again to restore normal preview.
Sometimes it takes a lot of time to progress to file below, if i wait, going to files above, it pass
the file that shows delay, without any problem.
I add received from Microsoft, in answer to the same issue to uninstall adobe reader and install
latest version. It become a bit more stable, but problem still shows.
Abobe reader: 10.1.0, ATI latest drivers 11-07

Having trouble running multiple instances of Firefox in XenDesktop 7.1

We recently upgraded our Citrix environment to XenDesktop 7.1. We published Firefox, but only one user at a time can have the program open. When we try to run multiple sessions, we get this error message "Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your system."
We've had it published in previous Citrix environments with no problems. How do we need to configure Firefox in XenDesktop so that multiple users can run the program at the same time? Thanks.

I do not understand virtualisation.
I can however say that ordinarily Firefox needs each user to have a separate profile and for Firefox to open simultaneous multiple instances with separate profiles the ''-no-remote'' argument needs to be used.

Multiple instances of explorer.exe running in task manager

I got a dropper trojan virus on my computer that microsoft security essencials do not recognized but after running "superantispyware" antivirus I got discover it and delete it. After that, I still could find the infected files in my
administrator folders as .temp files and I just erased them. After that my computer started crashing and runing several instances of explorer.exe in the task manager with different memory values, some of them ascending to 350,000. I have set up my computer
to run just the basic services, I have tried windows in safe mode, ran other antivirus programs but still it is performing the same. As far as I have noticed other unusual process present are host.dll, dllhost.exe, and logonUI.exe. Any idea about it? Thanks
in advance for your help.

I have the same issue. It started about a month ago when I was filling out a form online and had to quit and close the window. My system got very buggy (can't remember details), flashing, then really slow. Found a bunch of explorer.exe instances
in Task Manager. Ran Security Essentials and several other anti-viruses, nothing found.
Running Win7 Pro, sp1, 64-bit, CoreI5, 4Gb Ram
Restored system to a previous version, didn't work
Restored last system image, didn't work
Used System Repair Disk - ran Memory Diagnostic. Said it would give me report after reboot. Never saw a report after reboot. But only one instance of explorer.exe in task manager at that point. Took disk out, rebooted normally. After
20 minutes or so, the multiple instances were back.
Used Repair Disk again, ran Memory Diagnostic. Again, no report after reboot (leaving disk in machine both times), but only one instance running again.
Did this a few times with the same result, so now leaving disk in system and always boot from it.
Ran Security Essentials again, found that rovnix virus, removed, ran again, found it again.
Ran search for instances and found many. Here's an example:
C:\Windows\explorer.exe
C:\Windows\winsxs\wow64_microsoft-windows-explorer_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7601.17567_none_b9fc4815c4e292b5

I was going to reinstall entire system, but was from an Anytime Upgrade which now says it's invalid. Much more to story on that (calls to MS support, etc.).

How can i run multiple instances of Photoshop EXE at the same time on windows 7

Alright. You may ask why do you need multiple ?
Assume that i have 10000 PSD files in 10 different folders
I have a script that just save as them as PNG
And these files are each 3000x3000 px
My computer has 8 cores and 1 photoshop exe is only using 1 cpu core
Also i have SSD raid system it has 750 mb read write per second
So right now i am wasting my time with running only 1 photoshop exe instead of at least 4

I'm not aware of a way to run multiple instances or different versions of photoshop at the same time on windows.
Assuming of course they are all installed on the same operating system.
On mac versions you can running two different versions of photoshop at the same time, but i don't think that's possible on windows where it
appears that only one version of photoshop can run at a time.

Give each one its own domain name - i.e. a separate directory under config. This
works well.
Production:
Do the same, but to keep licensing costs down, I'd be inclined to run everything
on a single instance.

Multiple instances of the same VI running in parallel

Hi,
I have a timestamping subVI that looks at a counter channel and applies timestamps. I want to create multiple instances of this subVI (8 to be exact) and have them all run in parallel (looking at 8 different channels). Someone gave me the following advice:
>>
Also, in case you want to call multiple instances of the same SubVI, and you want these multiple instances to execute in parallel, you will have to set the SubVI to execute in reentrant mode. Do this by opening the SubVI and going to "Edit >> VI Properties >> Execution" and enable "Reentrant execution".
<<
I've tried this but only my second instance (I started simple with only 2 instances) seems to monitor its channel and pass data along to the queue. I've included my code below, I have two signal simulators which simulate singles coming in on channels 2 and 3. I'm using a PCQI 6602 counter/timer card.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance,
Chris

good news! Your reentrant VI is working and all three instances are running (as execution highlighting clearly shows). The problem is going to be an error that is occuring but you don't see because you are ignoring the error clusters internally in the timer. It looks like at one point it was set to quit if an error occurred. That still needs to be there.
Always hookup error clusters...

Running multiple instances of Premiere

This may be a dumb question, and I admit I'm new and naive to Premiere, but I've Googled and I've searched the forums here, and I must say the only thing I've found regarding this is 5 years old. I'm a little pressed for time, so I figured this would be the quickest way to get an answer. I want to run multiple instances of Adobe Premiere Pro 4.2 on a Vista 32bit system. Is is possible, and how would I go about doing so? Thanks in advance.

That wouldn't be so bad, except there are multiple takes per angle, and I renamed the clips in Premiere, so instead of 00023, it says Person Running. So instead of just looking at the time codes in the EDL, showing "00023 starts etc etc" it shows "Person Running etc etc" and I would have to guess as to which exact take it would be that was used.
*edit* I just looked, and I could concievably click on the properties for each clip, and it shows the original file name, so it would be possible to rename them all to the original file name. It just looks like it's gonna take some extra work, on top of my already large load.
