Only want one document open at a time

Can I stop all items created with that program from opening when I open just one document? Sometimes when I open Preview all items that have recently been opened with that application will open. Is there a way to prevent that from happening? Thanks.

Just a visual example of what Barney-15E was referring to...

Can only see one document window at a time

I am using Illustrator CS3. My document window is always full screen and lies behind the app bar so therefore I am unable to change it's size, see other windows, move it to my other screen etc etc, very annoying! I don't seem to have any cascade or tile options under the window menu either, is this something wrong with my application? Seems so to me. Any ideas much appreciated.

You are welcome, CC.
There are different ways of doing almost anything in Illy, even getting rid of preferences.
However it may make a significant difference which way is chosen.
The simple deletion through Ctrl/Cmd+Alt/Option+Shift at startup may solve some issues, as may the corresponding simple deletion of the aiprefs file in different other ways, but it is irreversible. This means that if deleting it does not solve your issue, you have lost your preference settings in vain, and you have to recreate them, just as you have to recreate lost artwork.
The moving of the folder solves a wider range of issues, and it is reversible; similarly, files/subfolders therein may be moved. This means that you may just restore your preference settings if the issue is not solved, with nothing lost in vain.
I made the Move the folder hint as an easy reference in the days of the fair forums, because the FAQ only mentioned the simple deletion, and because users had to spend a considerable amount of time recreating aiprefs file preference settings, sometimes lost in vain.
Since then, in newer versions, some of the preferences were moved to other files.
This means that the newer the version, the less is lost by the simple aiprefs deletion. On the other hand fewer issues are solved.
Moving the folder, or files therein, was and is still superior to deletion in terms of avoiding loss and solving issues.
Usually, I mention both ways, unless deletion has already been tried in vain.

When I click on a new tab, the tab will not open, so I can only have one tab open at a time. How do I correct this?

I've been using Firefox for about a year, and I use multiple tabs all the time. This evening, when I clicked to open a new tab, nothing happened. Firefox starts up and displays the first tab with the website I've specified, but when I try to open new tabs, nothing happens.

Probably caused by the Ask Toolbar extension in Firefox 3.6.13+ versions, disable that extension or un-install it.

Can I have more than one library open at a time?

I have multiple libraries and would like an easier way than closing and opening each one. Also it doesn't say which itunes library is open - they are all just called itunes

No, you can only have one library open at a time and iTunes will always default to the last one opened unless you use the key combination to choose one. When you create a new library you can give it a name to identify it by.

I can only scan one document at a time

I can only scan one document at a time on my scanner. Can PDF files or documents be merged together?

Your scanner software may be able to do that; not Adobe Reader.
If your scanner software cannot do that, then you'll need Acrobat or http://createpdf.acrobat.com/

Printer only printing one document at a time....

I have a Deskjet 990cxi and it is only printing one document at a time. I've tried changing the settings in the printer menu, and no matter what I do, it still only prints one copy of the document.
I've uninstalled and reinstalled the drivers, and everything.
Just so you know:
XP Service Pack 3
HP Deskjet 990cxi
Connected by USB
and---get this---there's NO ERROR MESSAGE.
Thanks in advance for all your help.

This is caused by the failure of one of your cartridges. Remove the black cartridge and print a test page. Does the printer print at normal speed? Is so the black cartridge was the issue and should be replaced. If not then put the black cartridge back in and remove the color cartridge and print test page. If the printer now prints normal speed the color cartridge was at fault and needs to be replaced.

I tried to open illustrator it said: subsystem fail catastrophically and I must reinstall or call customer support. So when I reinstalled it says: I can only install one Adobe product at a time. I am not installing anything else. It does not make sence.

Hi Gasbarro,
When trying to reinstall using the Cleaner Tool Jacob suggested, can you take a note of the location?

I am trying to reinstall Dreamweaver CS3 from the CD after having computer issues. Now getting error "You can only install one Adobe product at a time. Please complete the other installation before attempting to install ......." There is no other Adobe product installing. I have used the Adobe Cleaner Tool many times and uninstalled other Adobe Products but neither has worked. I have uninstalled/reinstalled this CD version of Dreamweaver several times when changing computers and after having computer issues. A google search of the problem suggested it may be an error related to the number of times I can reinstall this product due to licensing issues. Please help.

Absolutely not. You are misinterpreting things. The activation check never happens when just running the installer, only much later. It means what it says - there is another "install" pending/ active on your system, meaning somewhere there is an (invisible) process still blocking things. Either way, since you haven't provided any real technical info, we can't advise specifically. if you are on Windows, you may want to check your task manager and terminate any setup.exe and msiexec.exe processes plus potentially may need to manually fix/ delete some registry keys. For anything beyond that you will have to be much more specific.

How can I have more than one page open at a time?

I would like to have more than one page open at a time- not tabs, but whole pages. How can I do this? I want to be able to have the pages side by side, instead of having to switch back and forth.

Can only print ONE document then have to reset Airport Express to print aga

The title says it all.
Everything used to work fine until I installed Leopard. Now I can only print one document; subsequent documents will hang at 16% or 28%, etc.
Anyone else had this problem?
Thanks,
Mark

No, you are not the only person with the problem. I have tried it with both a "g" and an "n" Express (I bought the "n" hoping it might work better; nope). I have a Samsung CLP-510 plugged in to it. It prints one document, then I have to reset the Express before it will print again. When it tries to print the next document, it flashes "Unable to open device (read failure)!" briefly, then pauses the printer.
It's been driving me crazy since I installed Leopard, so I basically gave up on the Express as a print server as there seems to be no cure, and Apple seems to have no interest in fixing it. (I have been through several firmware updates since the problem started, and none have made any difference).
+Oddly, though, just now after the seventh reset, it accepted 6 of the documents in my queue (I had 22 in the queue, and I've just been waiting for it to pause, then resetting the router for each document) before it failed.+

FF31: When I only have one tab open, even a blank one, and close the tab the window closes.

FF31: When I only have one tab open, even a blank one, and close the tab the window closes.

Type '''about:config''' in the Location bar and hit '''''Enter'''''.
''Accept the warning.''
'''browser.tabs.closeWindowWithLastTab'''
double-click to toggle to '''false''' and then restart Firefox.
Now if you close the last tab the window (or Firefox) won't close, but a New Tab will be there.

One work process can only process one user request at a time?

Hi,
How to configure the how many work processes for 80 concurrent users login daily.One work process can only process one user request at a time? Does this mean a login user has a dedicated work process servicing him. Or many login users interleave a work process's service? ,clarify the same.
Thanku

There are different types of work processes and the number needed depends on the number of transactions that will take place in the system. We are running 80 concurrent users with 15 dialog work processes. Please see the link below for an explanation:

Thats the problem. My powersupply maxes out at 300W and goes no higher than that. It seems it needs more power.
I will get a powersupply that is more suitable for this motherboard and post again with the results I get. Thanks for your help I can say that this company has been more helpful than others.
Once again thanks.

I created a watermark in LR4 and it applied to all photos I only wanted one photo marked.

I created a watermark in LR4 and it applied to all photos I only wanted one photo marked. How can I keep it from adding the watermark to all of my photos?
I want to be able to add them manually to each photo in a location that I chose so the photo is still visably appealing.
Thanks!

I think it's a feature of the Web Module, since it is assumed that you would want the watermark on all images of a web-gallery.
But, in this context (as always is the case in Lr) you have to take into consideration of how Lr works. Lr never ever changes your originals.
"Watermark applied" means only that there is a set of data in the Lr catalog that says something like "when uploading the web-gallery the watermark has to be applied to the uploaded JPGs".
Nothing has been done to your originals - even though they are displayed in te Web Module with the watermark. The orginals are ever unchanged.
If you go back to the Library Module (within the same Collection) you won't see a watermark.
