Open two instances of iMovie 08 at once

as the title asks, can this be done? If so, how?
Cheers.

I'm not sure there would be much point in being able to open a second production area window. In imovie 6 and prior, the application would be unusable during rending and a second window allowed you to work on another project while this rendering took place.
In im08 rendering is done on the fly and you can switch from project to project at will, so in terms of maintaining continuous production im08 does what im6 does without the need for second windows.

When I start Firefox it opens two instances at once

v7.0.1, running under Windows XP:
I thought the Tabbed Browsing feature looked really useful and spent an hour or so created a number of Tab Groups from my bookmarks. However, now when I start Firefox it opens two instances immediately, one correctly with my Tab Groups available but also another with just the home page. Apart from not wanting the second instance, there's now the risk that if I close the wrong one first, all of my carefully set up groups will disappear.
Something has gone wrong - how to correct it?

You can try to delete the user.js in your profile folder:
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Preferences%20are%20not%20saved
Follow steps 1 and 2 to get to the folder
If this doesn't work, try deleting user.bk as well?
(This worked for me when I deleted user.js and user.bk, although I actually copied it to my desktop first in case it didn't work.)
EDIT: When I looked at the user.js 's contents, removing the line:
user_pref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "rv:7.0.1");
also fixed the problem

How to get two hard drives to be seen on MBP desktop. I need to be able to see 2 hds both 3 tb to transfer data between them. This is easy in windows just open two instances, one for eac hard drive. TIA robbo

am trying to back up and transfer data between two hard drives but cant get up twp Hd icons at the same time. It is so easy in windows but cant seem to do it in MBPro. Even Dick Smith couldnt help me today.
It is probaly so easy it everyone will LOL but I cant get it happening.
TIA Robbo

Do the HD icons appear on your Desktop?
If not, adjust your Finder preferences:
Also check "Hard Disks" if you want your internal HD to appear on the Desktop.
Open one, open the other, should be no problem.

Two instances of PE simultaneously

If you mean two projects at once -- no. It isn't, Jessica.

Two "instances" of RH 7?

When a project is open in RH and you select File/Open for a
separate project, RH closes the first one, no doubt for good
reason.
Does anyone launch RH a second time and open a different
project, so you can look at them both? What about copy/paste from
one to the other?
Can the two instances keep everything separate, or might one
project try to overwrite some temporary files open in the other? If
so, does the change "take"? Does RH crash?
(Reluctant to try without first touching base here.)
Thanks
Harvey

Peter, thank you for pointing me back to the forums from your website. You really are the RH guru, and as it turns out the forums aren't too difficult to search (we're new to them). You answered one of my questions this week (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2517232#2517232), that I believe was caused by having two instances of RH open. The missing .htt file error came from one project but the file referred to the other open project. I may have tried saving each too quickly so RH got confused. So opening two instances can cause an issue -- but my issue wasn't that hard to fix.
Thank you for your expertise and patience with all of us. You are wonderful-
amity

How to Open Two Excel Files in Multiple Monitors in Windows 7

How to open two excel files in two excel windows using multiple monitors in Windows 7.
Currently it opens multiple files on top of each other on the same one monitor.
I found this article in a blog it says
"The snap feature that you are looking for will not work unless you open two instances of Excel. This is because Excel Unlike Word is not a True SDI Application. Microsoft is aware of the Issue however there is no resolution to the problem but the workaround"

If you are working almost the entire day in front of your computer at your office with lots of Excel Sheets and Word, then probably you might be working with a
dual monitor or may be even more than that. Studies have shown that having an additional monitor increases the productivity by 20 to 30 percent (Source: NY Times)
But some applications like MS Office Excel, even though you open multiple files, they are all from the same instance of the application. So if you want to compare two
Excel
files, then you may not be able to have it in two
separate monitors as the files are loaded using the same instance of Excel. If you move one
Excel
file to the other window, the other Excel files are also moved to the other window.
So how to have two separate Excel files or other application side by side in dual monitors?
Option A:
In Excel 2003, go to Tools -> Options ->
General tab.
Make sure the option, ‘Ignore other applications’ is checked. Now all the Excel files will be opened as separate instance and you can move the Excel files individually across the monitors.
In Excel 2007, Click the Office button ->
Excel Options -> Advanced.
Under General, check ‘Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange’.
or
As this method forces each Excel file as a separate instance, the memory consumption will be more. If you don’t want too many memory consumption then you can open only two instances (see
Option B) and manage wisely to view in both the monitors.
Note: If you are having issues like Excel opens without displaying a workbook, then you may have to
uncheck this option. (See Microsoft Help for more details on this). You can use option B in this case. I have this option checked and I have not faced any issue yet.
Option B:
They key here is, the application has to be loaded as separate instances. Lets say you have opened an Excel file in
Monitor 1 and you want to open the next excel file in Monitor 2. You can usually open another instance of Excel by browsing through the
Start Menu -> Programs -> Microsoft Office ->
Excel. Make sure this newly opened Excel file is the last Excel file you had viewed and then double click on the Excel file that you wanted to open. This will force the Excel to
open
in the second instance of Excel. Now you can move these
two excel files separately across windows or monitors.
This may be little cumbersome way to open new instances of Excel every time. The easy solution would be to keep these links in the
quick links near the Start button. So, every time you want to open a new instance of the application, you can just use those quick links.
hope work thanks

Two Instances or Two Projects & Albums Trees?

I've just migrated 30K photos from iPhoto to Aperture. The number of projects is insane and I have a taxonomy in mind to clean it up; Aperture will make it simple to categorize my photos for visual scanning. What's a challenge, however, is the endless vertical scrolling and dragging multiple project selections up and down the Projects & Albums tree in order to move or consolidate projects into folders.
What I want is to either open two instances of Aperture (ok, I know I'm using a Mac and this shouldn't be necessary) or to open two Projects & Albums trees so I can drag and drop one or more projects from instance 1/tree 1 to instance 2/tree 2.
Any ideas?

If Frank's good idea works, use it. I tried it that way and could not get it to work, but that might have been an update or two previous.
What I ended up doing was using a combination of
- newly created top-level Folders as holding bins
- labeling Projects with unique tags for searching (e.g: "{space}XXX")
- judicious use of the Library search feature (search for " XXX"
- using "Mark as Favorite" and then filtering to Favorites (then select and move, then select whole Library and "Remove from Favorites" to clear this grouping)
With a little bit of planning, these tools will let you organize your Library systematically and without too much senseless effort.
What I would love to see is an interaction between Projects View and the Library Inspector. One should be able to move Projects between Folders in the Projects view, and also by dragging to the Inspector.
Important: moving thousands of Projects is one of the most processor-intensive things you can dump on the database. Expect Aperture to take hours or even a day to finish updating all the information. +Do not force-quit Aperture+. Let it run, unmolested, until it finishes.
IME, the effort is well worth it. Good Luck.

ICannot open separate instances of Lookout

I have a Client/ Server setup running on the same computer (connected via a symbolic link). For example when I start/open the Server process then open the Client process, the Client process opens within the server process or vice versus. Therefore if you open the Client process first and then the Server, you can't see anything, as the Server doesn't have any devices, just a few blank control panels. I have another setup similar that I programmed a few years back and both the Client and the Server open in there own instances.
What to do?

old version of Lookout can open two instances, but after lookout 5, we can only open one instance at the same time.

Two instances of Firefox open when I click on a link within my email client. How can I stop this from happening?

I am running on an iMac OS X 10.6.3 using Firefox 3.6.3 as my default browser and I use Postbox 1.1.5 as my email client. Anytime I click on a link within an email message two instances of Firefox open, one with my home page and one with the site the link was meant for. This happens only when Firefox is not already open. If Firefox is running and a link is clicked on it opens normally within the open instance of Firefox. I have contacted Postbox and am currently awaiting a response to see if they have any suggestions. While this is not a serious issue it is a bit annoying. I have Firefox set to open new links in tabs not new instances of windows, so it shouldn't be that. Any help in getting this to stop would be greatly appreciated.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure, it's been going on for quite awhile.

That is a bug on Mac.
See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=531552 - Firefox 3.6b opens two windows when opening external links

Adobe Standard slow to open two files at once

At work, I must check many PDF files to see if they are exact duplicates. However, I have noticed that when opening two files at once, the second file often takes very long to load. I am therefore wondering if there is any solution to help multiple files load faster.

If you want to work in tabbed view, do it like this:
Select the move tool. Go to the tab that contains one of the image files.
Drag the image over the tab that has the blank document (Keep holding down the mouse button). Wait till that tab opens.
Drag & drop the image into the blank document.

How to open two docs at once for a collage

I am trying to create a collage. From reading Evening and Kelby it seems that I should create a blank document and then open the photos that I want to include. My next step is to make a selection or drag the whole file to the empty document. Finally, I should use free transform and move the layers around for my final result. My problem is that I cannot open two documents at once. If I create the blank document, once I open a photo it relaces the blank but I cannot have both open at the same time. I have looked through my books (no shortgage of photoshop books, just practical experience) and tried a search. Doers it make a difference if the photo I am trying to open is not in Lightroom or Bridge but simply on my desktop. I am certain that I am missing something simple but the solution eludes me. CS4 and an iMac 24. Thanks.

One iMAc, two users - One iMove location?

Well, hello all.
Just taken the plunge to the 'white side' for the first time and currently in the process of setting up my lovely new machine.
I am running two accounts on the iMAc - one for me, one for my wife. I would like us both to be able to access one iMovie folder instance of movies, in the same way that I have set up iPhoto [on an external hard drive]. I happily accept that I can only have one instance of iMovie open at a time, but it woudl be much more convenient if we can both access the same Projects.
I am drawing blanks on how to set this up both by googling it and also by seaching through here. Is this because it is not possible, or am I being dumb?

The answer is to use your hard drive.
The hard drive must be formatted as Mac OS Extended (journaled), not FAT32.
You can import new events from your camcorder to the external drive by selecting it on the import screen.
For events that are already on your internal drive, open iMovie and click VIEW/EVENTS BY DISK. You should see an icon for your hard drive in the event library list. Then hold down the command key while dragging the icon for the event to the icon for the drive.
You can move projects to the external drive in a similar fashion.
Check out iMovie's Help. You will find info on moving events, info on moving projects, and info on the Consolidate command.

Can you open multiple instances of Photoshop?

I'd like to separate jobs by opening multiple instances of photoshop so I can keep them apart for organizational purposes. I work on many projects at once, so this action would be useful to me. Any advice?

Unfortumately running multiple PS's won't work. Photoshop will simply
front the first copy of Photoshop if you try to start two copies.
You can run Elements and Photoshop at the same time, if that's of any use
to you.

Is there a way to open two months at the same time in iCal?

I have recurring events for every month in 2009 and want to replicate them in 2010. I do not want to just extend the stop date because there will be subtle changes to the 2010 items that I do not want changed in the 2009 versions. I would ideally like to open Jan 2009 and Jan 2010 next to each other and copy the 2009 event to the 2010 calendar (the appointment copy does not copy the recurrence info which is good). Is there a way to show either two instances of iCal running or 2 month windows?
Thanks!

Hi,
If you activate iCal's Debug menu, you should find it has a 'New Calendar Window' option (Cmd-L). It is a bit of a knack to cutting and pasting correctly between windows.
Best wishes

If we observe test query is very simple and easy to back track but in Dev it is appending like sawwith0,sawwith1 etc..looking difficult.
Is there in any configuration to change to generate query like Test(with out SAWWITH0).
NOTE:Any how results are same in both instances.
Please help me to resolve this issue.
Thank You,
Anil Kumar.

Anil,
Are your database settings the same in both of the rpds dev and test?
Check wether you didn't change anything to the default. Open your RDP double click on the Database in the physical layer and go to Feature you can check all the settings there
