Run 2 versions of FF on the same computer

Is it possible to run 2 versions of FF on the same OS

Yes it is possible, don't use the same profile, and you will have to use "-no-remote" on the one that is not your default browser and/or not your default profile.

  • I have a Mac Pro with Snow Leopard and FCP7 installed I would like to run FCP7 and FCPX on the same computer, is this OK

    I have a Mac Pro (early 2009) with Mac OS X version 10.6.8, I use this for video editing with FCP7. I would also like to install FCPX, my operating system is Snow Leopard. Is this OK or do I need to up-grade my operating system. I want to be able to use FCP7 and FCPX on the same Computer. Your advise will be appreciated.

    You will see from the hardware spec that the latest version of FCP X requires Mavericks.
    The Mavericks spec shows you can upgrade to Mavericks on your Mac Pro.
    Ensure you have a bucket full of RAM installed.

  • Firefox just started to do this if on one user account someone has firefox running another user account on the same computer can not connect to the internet through firefox while firefox is running in the first user account

    Windows XP/Windows 7
    2 user accounts on the computer. If each acct is logged into the computer and tries to have firefox running only one can connect to the internet at a time. Have Verizon FIOS for ISP and this just started to occur. Firefox version 8 but also happening in firefox 6.0.2. How can we run firefox in two computer accts at the same time? Thank you

    I am having exactly the same problem. This worked on all versions of Firefox up until mid last week. It started failing on Wednesday, coincident with the installation of Firefox 8.0 (see attached gif showing the automatic update on that date).
    To fix the problem, you have to shut down Firefox 8.0 on one account, switch to the other account and then you can run it there.
    If Firefox 8.0 is running on on account, the other account will run Firefox, but when you enter an URL it waits for quite a while then reports "The connection was reset. The connection was reset while the page was loading".
    We also use Thunderbird 8.0 and it does not exhibit this problem, and works at the same time as Firefox 8.0. I suspect they might share some components.
    I'd be happy to supply more details if needed.
    Thanks,

  • Can I run Tiger and Leopard on the same computer

    Hi folks.
    I've been meaning to install Leopard for ages but have never got round to it (I bought the retail box when it first came out). I have upgraded my RAM to 2GB and my hard drive to 320GB with no problems.
    My upgraded hard drive has been partitioned into 2 equal parts of 160GB. These appear on desktop as Mackintosh HD1 and HD2. HD1 is the disk with all my files, music, OS etc and HD2 is empty
    I have 2 bootable clones of my present system - one is on a 160GB external and the other is the original 80GB HD that I replaced.
    My question is this - can I install Leopard on to my 160GB external HD, then clone it on to the empty HD2. If I do this would I be able to run both Tiger and Leopard on the same Macbook?
    Is there any problems with this plan? Would I be able to transfer between the 2 OS and how do I install Leopard on the external drive. Is it just a case of inserting the Leopard DVD and choose the external drive as the target?
    As usual thanks in advance
    Del

    # Original Tiger in the internal HD, New Leopard in the external HD.
    # New Leopard in the internal, Legacy cloned Tiger in the external.
    # Split internal, one partition with Tiger, another with Leopard.
    Leopard is backwardly compatible with older Macs, just make sure yours fulfills the minimum system requirements, both use the same filesystem format, so each can see the other. You can't run both at the same time, unless you purchase the server version of Leopard and run it virtualized. 99.9% of Firewire external HD's are bootable, some USB's are bootable but have to test first. You can choose which system to boot from by pressing the Option key at boot time, before the chime. Just make sure the external HDD is plugged in and turned on if that's where you want to boot from.
    When I migrated my PBG4 from Panther to Tiger, got an external FW HDD, cloned Panther onto it, upgraded using Archive and Install, cleaned up, customized and tested it. When I was satisfied all was ok, cloned the original Panther onto another partition of the external HDD, wiped and tested for failure the internal HDD, then cloned the known good and tested Tiger into it. Only thing that died along the way was my old and ancient Photoshop v2.x, that refused to run on Tiger.

  • Is running CrossOver and Parallels on the same computer a bad idea?

    I know one could ask, why do you need both? Well I already had Parallels on my MacBook and I like to support CrossOver, so I bought it for the iMac and I have been running MS Office 2000 on it.
    Now I'm beginning to think I might want to switch my Parallels (XP Pro) over to my iMac, and I tried installing Parallels on my iMac but it seems to not run right. I put my XP Pro disk in to install and Parallels gets stuck in a Dos-like mode where all I see is the black startup screen with a "Boot from CD Drive" message and nothing happens at all from the XP CD. And also, it won't let me quit the virtual machine; I have to manually shut off the iMac, which I'm sure is not a good idea.
    So I'm wondering if having CrossOver on my computer is causing the problem.
    I appreciate any assistance,...
    Many Thanks, ...Frank B.

    The Parallels Boot Camp icon is the one you would use to create a virtual machine for Windows that has already been installed in Boot Camp. Also, when you create a virtual machine, if Windows is already installed in Boot Camp, Parallels will name the virtual machine "My Boot Camp" by default.
    Boot Camp is not included with OS X, you have to download it from the Apple website. There are two versions, one for Windows XP and one for Windows Vista, so make sure you download the correct one.
    You won't be able to use your Parallels for Windows license key to activate the Mac version, you'll have to buy a separate key for it. You can get a 15-day trial key if you've never used it before, so that will let you try it first before you decide if you want to buy it.

  • Two versions of iTunes on the same computer?

    I know I'm not alone in my disgust and dismay over iTunes v.11
    I absolutely hate it! But I *need* it to sync with my iPhone 5S.  ::shakes fist @ Apple! and grumbles::
    As for playing and organizing my music, I rather enjoyed iTunes v.8
    It had what I thought was a good balance of features and kept my library (I'm a 'large library' user) very well organized. I could open playlists in separate windows, see album art, it allowed me to sync with my 1st generation AppleTV, etc.
    SO>> What do I need to do, what trick do I need to pull to be able to run iTunes 11 on my computer for syncing with my new phone, yet ALSO having iTunes v.8 on my computer for my daily music player/organizer?
    There must be some creative solution to this conundrum - short of buying a second computer!
    Thanks in advance for discussion and hopfully some answers!

    iTunes 8 is running happily under Mavericks?  That's nice to know.
    I have not tried running different versions.  It may be possible but iTunes installers probably update components in the general system library which affects all users, and I don't know even if you could hack apart an installer and just install the application if iTunes 11 would run happily with only iTunes 8 components in the system library.
    Of course the other thing you could do would be to create a separate partition with a second boot system there, but that can be a nuisance if you have to reboot your computer simply to sync.
    I decided that I just won't buy an Apple idevice which requires syncing.  Admittedly they are pretty much the only thing out there now but I'd rather deal with some klutzy mp3 player that at least lets me drag files to its drive than have to upgrade my whole system because I have to run the newest iTunes.

  • Can I install Coldusion Developer Version and XAMPP on the same computer?

    I'm trying to teach myself ColdFusion and I need a testing enviroment to play around in.
    I already have XAMPP installed on my computer. Do I need to delete XAMPP in order to install ColdFusion locally?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    It's great that you're learning ColdFusion, you can install ColdFusion without uninstalling XAMPP. You can select the built in port to install ColdFusion which is default 8500 incase this port is already in use it can detect the next available port. Once you will install ColdFusion you can use ColdFusion webroot to render cfm pages.
    Hope this helps.
    Thanks,

  • How can i run 2 i tunes accounts on the same computer without songs duplicating?

    my wife and I both have ipods, how do you run an account each on the same computer without files syncing on both ipods/ libraries?

    Using More than One iDevice on the Same Computer
    This applies mainly to couples who are adding another device and do not want their email, messages, etc. being duplicated on both devices. To begin read: How to use multiple iPhone, iPad, or iPod devices with one computer. You need to establish a separate Apple ID and password for whomever will use the new iDevice. See Apple - My Apple ID and Frequently asked questions about Apple ID. The easiest way is to do this on the computer using iTunes: iTunes- How to set up an Apple ID within iTunes.
    On the computer create a new user account for the person with the new iDevice. This will be the user account that person will always use. He/She will no longer use the other user account. This way that person will have a separate iTunes Library
    Start by transferring the new device(s) to a new account along with all your data.  Save any photo stream photos that you want to keep to your camera roll (unless they are already in the camera roll) by opening your Photos app, tap on Albums icon at the bottom. Now, tap on My Photo Stream album; tap Select; tap on the photos you want to select;, tap the share icon (box with upward facing arrow) in the lower left corner; then tap Save to Camera Roll.
    If you are syncing notes with iCloud that you want to keep then you need to open each of your notes and email them to yourself. Later you can copy and paste the text into new notes created in your new account.
    Tap on Settings > iCloud > Delete Account (only deletes it from this device, not from iCloud; the person keeping the current account will not be affected,) provide the password to turn off Find My Phone and choose Keep on My iDevice when prompted.  Sign in with a different Apple ID to create your new account. Choose Merge to upload your data.
    Once you are on separate accounts, you can each go to icloud.com and delete the other person's data from your account.

  • How to run two icalenders on the same computer?

    How can i run two separate icalenders on the same computer? I have my own icalender with work, home, etc, and it's totally full. I am now running an artists collective and will publish the collectives icalender on the web. I don't, however, want to mix what will be a pretty busy calender with my own already too full one. Is it possible to run two totally separate calenders on the same computer?
    macbook   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

    trsv,
    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    Create two Groups...
    Calendar 1:
    Work
    Home
    etc
    Calendar 2:
    Collective Calendar
    You can then switch which groups you wish to display by activating/deactivating the check mark in the Calendar source window.
    That will also allow you to selectively publish the Collective Calendar.

  • Installing Both Oracle 10g and oracleXE on the same computer

    Hi,
    Good Morning to ALL,
    Can any of you tell me whether we can Install both the Oracle10g Version and OracleXE on the same computer. In my work computer, I have oracle and Toad installed. Now I wanna install OracleXE and Oracle SQL Developer to do some hands on practise when I find time at work.
    Could we Install both these versions on the same computer? Your answer will help me a lot. Please advice............
    Thanks a lot.............. Have a good day.

    Yes, you can. On my laptop, in a virtual machine with Oracle Linux 5, I have 10g, 11g and XE.
    BTW, 11g includes Sql Developer by default...

  • Can I run Release Candidate (19.02), Beta, Nightly, Aurora and ESR versions on the same computer?

    I know I can run the Beta and Nightly together on the same computer because they are installed in different directories. What I do then is that I have a Profile for each version. What I do is I run FireFox.exe -ProfileManager when I start either the Beta and Nightly builds.
    My Question is can I also install the Aurora, Release Candidate and ESR versions on the same computer like I do with the Beta and Nightly? If so, how do I go about installing them in different directories? I will create new profiles for each version. What I then do is, copy everything in my original Profile to the newly create profiles so I can keep all my plugin/addons, themes, bookmarks, etc. the same.
    Next question, (I think I know the answer but I just want to make sure) now can I sync my bookmarks from each of the different profiles that I created?
    Secondly, I now I can do the ABOUT:CONFIG in the address bar of Firefox, does anyone have any idea where I can read up on what each entry means? Also, are there any other secrets in Firefox, similar to the ABOUT:CONFIG trick? I know of one app where you can do ABOUT:ME, but that's all I know.
    I know this has been asked billions of times, but I also have to ask. Is there any chance at all that Firefox, Thunderbird, and/or Seamonkey will be ever release for the iOS from Apple? I know that it's impossible, but maybe someone MIGHT have some positive thoughts on this?
    Lastly, I know this is off topic, but I'll give it a shot. I'm using Outlook 2013, does anyone know if Outlook can handle Newsgroups? The reason why I ask is because I've just learned that there are a ton of newsgroups for Firefox, ThunderBird, and SeaMonkey. I would like to, somehow, get those Newsgroups in Outlook 2013. I already get allot of the feeds for other things, so that's not a problem.
    I would appreciate it very much if anyone could help me with these issues.
    Thank You.

    You can consider to use Firefox Sync to sync all the profiles.
    You can do a custom install of each version and install each version in its own program folder.<br />
    Safest is to modify the desktop shortcut and add -P "profile name" to the command line to start each version with its own profile.<br />
    Be careful with clicking a file in Windows Explorer to open the default browser, so make sure to select the correct profile in the profile manager and check the don't ask setting.

  • Can you run Tiger and OS 8.6 on the same computer? RE: Repair Permissions

    Hello,
    I don't fully understand how "Repair Permissions" work and when it is needed and therefore I would like to post this question for some clarification. Using "Repair Permissions" for troubleshooting is a controversial issue. I read this interesting opinion about Repairing Permissions and now I am concerned that it may not be safe for me to install my old OS 8.6 on my OSX installed computer due to a "permission" conflict between OS 8 and OS X.
    Could someone confirm this with me please? Could this cause some file permission problems?
    I would use OS 8.6 to run my older Adobe Illustrator 8 application and photoshop 6. And then I will boot onto Tiger for everything else. I would switch a few times per day back and forth.
    Basically, is it safe to run Tiger on the same computer that has OS 8.6 installed on it? (I am not concerned about making 8.6 run in the Classic environment because I know that doesn't work - I am refering to having separate bootable installs)
    [1] http://www.unsanity.org/archives/000410.php
    PS I am aware of how to change my startup OS on this particular computer (b&w G3). I would have to have the two OSs on the same volume and launch X by pressing x -key during startup due to the fact that OS 8.6 doesn't have the Startup Disk feature introduced in OS 9. That was an earlier separate discussion that has since been solved.
    PS
    I could choose to instead use my OS 9.2 but I have reserved that OS for another computer unfortunately. However depending on the outcome of this post, I might have to reconsider.

    This is a really difficult issue to resolve! Apple doesn't have much documentation that covers running OS 8 & OS X on the same drive. There are, however, a few things that it might helpful to know:
    1. Repairing permissions with Disk Utility in OS X won't touch user-created files. It only repairs things that have a receipt file, which are created by installers. The unsanity reference explains this; you might want to review that part of the article again.
    2. Disk Utility has a separate repair OS 9 permissions function (accessed in the menus), but AFAIK, this only repairs permissions on the OS 9 system folder "blessed" by the Classic system pref as the one to use for Classic. I doubt this would be useful for the OS 8.6 system.
    3. Of greater concern than mis-set permissions is file system damage. Under no circumstances should you use any disk repair utility on a Tiger drive except those that "know" about Tiger's file structure. This rules out using Disk First Aid from either OS 8 or OS 9, or any OS 8 or 9 third party utilities. (See this Apple document for the details.) I don't know if this also applies to OS 8's 'rebuild desktop' function, but I would avoid it to be on the safe side.
    4. If you do decide to reformat or partition your drive for dual booting (as you mentioned in your other thread), do so only with Tiger's Disk Utility & remember to check the 'install OS 9 drivers' option or you won't be able to boot into OS 8 or 9, even if you have a viable system folder for either on the drive. See this Apple document for more info.
    5. In light of the above, it is well worth getting OS 9 to use with Tiger on your B&W, as long as any older apps you need to run are compatible with it. (There should be no need to use OS 8/9 with text files anyway, since OS X can handle all the old text formats.) In fact, unless you need to use some peripheral that has no OS X driver, you probably will do just fine by using Classic with the old apps, eliminating the need to reboot completely.
    6. If you need to buy OS 9, one inexpensive source is OWC's Mac OS 9.1 - OEM CD. At $35, it is a cheap way to avoid the headaches of OS 8 with Tiger! Note that you can upgrade from this 9.1 version to 9.2.2 for free with Apple's updates available from the Mac OS 9: Available Updates web page.
