Opening Multiple Windows

How are is one supposed to organize events into albums when you cannot see both at the same time? Which photos have been put in the albums? Which have not? Smart Albums is not really the answer as I mix and match. If you have only five pictures or so this would not be an issue. With hundreds it is a little more challenging. Dumping everything from events into an album when you are not sure which ones have already been included seems live overkill. I can open an additional window in Events (Events>Open Event in Separate Window), though only one additional event can be opened at a time. Switching to Albums closes this additional window. Am I missing something?

You can create a smart album that contains all photos not in any album. That will let you identify that category. You can then go from the smart album into new or existing albums.
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto (iPhoto.Library for iPhoto 5 and earlier) database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've created an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger or later), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 6 and 7 libraries and Tiger and Leopard. Just put the application in the Dock and click on it whenever you want to backup the dB file. iPhoto does not have to be closed to run the application, just idle. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.
Note: There's now an Automator backup application for iPhoto 5 that will work with Tiger or Leopard.

  • Is there a way to open multiple windows in firefox 5.0? I can't do it from windows quicklaunch and the right click"open in new window" does nothing.

    Yeah, not much more to say. Since I upgraded to firefox 5.0, I can no longer open multiple windows. Multiple tabs work, but I don't like tabs. Please help.

    Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
    *Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

  • How do I open multiple 'windows' in Entourage?

    I am using MS Entourage and would like to be able to open multiple windows within that program. For example, I would like to have both my calendar and address book opened at the same time in different windows. I have looked all over for a way to do this, but I have not had any luck. Any ideas? Please forgive me if this is an easy answer. I am still new to the Mac world, but love it so far. Thank you.

    At the Entourage menu bar, go to File > New and select Open New Main Window. You can open an additional two main windows and select the Address Book for one and the Calendar for the other.
    To navigate to a different window, at the menu bar go to Window and select Mail, Address Book or Calendar.
    The Mail.app does not incorporate all 3 applications. You can have the Mail.app, Address Book and iCal launched and running and select between each from the Dock along with other ways to do so. The Mail.app also includes an Address Book panel to view all Address Book contacts or to select from when addressing a message. You can't add to, delete or edit contacts from the Mail.app Address Book panel.

  • Firefox is opening multiple windows without my request. The only way I can stop it is by rebooting my computer.

    Fairly often when I open Firefox, it continues to open multiple windows (hundreds of them) without my request. The only way I can stop it is to reboot the computer.

    Hello Sally.
    This looks like some virus or spyware. Scan your system for infection.
    Or you may be having a problem with some extension or plugin that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?

  • Is it possible to open multiple windows on mavericks . if so how.

    is it possible to open multiple windows in mavericks if so how

    First, go to Finder > Preferences and make sure the checkbox is deselected for "open folders in tabs instead of new windows".
    Any folder can be opened in a new window by holding down either Command Key while clicking the folder. But sooner or later you will forget to hold down that key, and then clicking on a folder will open it in a tab (which will automatically resize the window and may cause much aggravation).
    If you're like me and don't like tabs very much, there is a way to make folders always open in windows with a simple click (I'm using Mavericks 10.9.5).  Go to a root folder (for example, the Documents Folder), open it, and select View > Hide Toolbar, then all folders within that root folder will open in a new window.
    The Hide Toolbar trick will also work with any folder present on the Desktop. It will make all folders inside that folder open in new windows.
    Hope this helps.

  • Want to open multiple windows not tabs; won't let me.

    I have Windows XP. Since I upgraded to 7.0.1 (and today 8.0) I have not been able to open multiple windows of Firefox. I have not ticked OPEN TABS INSTEAD OF WINDOWS, but Firefox either opens nothing at all, when I try to start a 2nd window of it, or it opens a tab. Please fix this.

    Does it still happen ifyou start Firefox in Save mode?
    *Help > Restart with Add-ons Disabled
    If it does work properly in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
    *Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
    * Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

  • Can i open multiple windows or tabs in itunes?

    Hi,
    When I look for downloads with Safari I can open multiple tabs to compare items and efficiently use my slow connection. Now apps for iPad are in iTunes, where that option doesn't seem to be possible. Very annoying.
    Or am I just missing some trick for opening additional tabs or windows?
    thanks

  • When a click a button multiple times it opens multiple windows instead of only one. Is this a bug in Firefox?

  • Safari opens multiple windows when I open it

    When I open safari it opens multiple windows (260 to be exact) all of the same website and causing a temporary freeze of my computer. Then safari crashes and I have to force quit. Any suggestions? I have already unchecked restore windows in my system preferences.
    Thanks

    Try to reset safari via the safari menu .. Also if you can quit safari from the safari menu holding down the option key and pick quit and close all windows it might resolve your issue.
