Running 2 Instances of Captivate 8 on Mac

I can run 2 instances of Captivate 6 on a PC, but at home I have 8 and I'm on a Mac. When trying to open Captivate again through the Spotlight Search, Captivate would not open again. I did not try opening it through the Applications folder. Is it possible to run 2 instances on a Mac? I'm trying to record a demo of me showing Captivate functions. Thanks!

Thanks for looking into this everybody! I found a solution for Mac users!
Open the Mac Terminal.
Type: open -n -a "Adobe Captivate"
Hit Return.
Type open -n -a "Adobe Captivate"
Hit Return.
The second return opens the second instance of Captivate.
However, it appears as though you may run into issues running 2 instances of Captivate on a Mac. I have not tested an actual recording but as I progress, I will post my results.

  • Starting multiple instances of Matlab in Mac OS X Tiger

    I am trying to start multiple instances of Matlab in Mac OS X 10.4, that is, there are several users in this machine, and they all need to use Matlab. Right now, only one user is able to do so, when a second user logs into his/her account and they start Matlab, it does not start. Actually, if one user has X11 open (not even Matlab) and another user tries to start Matlab it won't start. I'm not sure if this is a license problem, an X11 problem, or a Matlab problem. To start matlab, I am using the StartMATLAB.app located in the Applications folder. Following are the details for the hardware:
    Model Name: Mac Pro
    Model Identifier:
    MacPro2,1
    Processor Name: Quad-Core Intel Xeon
    Processor Speed: 3 GHz
    Number Of Processors: 2
    Total Number Of Cores: 8
    L2 Cache (per processor): 8 MB
    Memory: 8 GB
    Bus Speed: 1.33 GHz
    Boot ROM Version: MP21.007F.B06
    SMC Version: 1.15f3

    Some information about Mac OS:
    System Version: Mac OS X 10.4.11 (8S2167)
    Kernel Version: Darwin 8.11.1
    The version of X11 is:

    I appreciate your help.

    See this article: An easy way to run multiple instances of any program.
    I believe another alternative is to provide a separate copy of the application in the users own Home folder by placing it in the /Home/Applications/ folder. This may not work for all applications as some simply will not run multiple instances of itself.
    Licensing is of course a separate issue as each unique user may require a license, although many licenses only restrict use to one CPU at a time rather than multiple users on a one CPU.

  • Hi Thanks for 4.0. It runs much faster on my Mac, however, it no longer works to zoom in all of my web pages. I use to be able to use my finger pad to increase the size of all of all pages. Thanks again.

    PS Are you working on a version for the iPad and iPhone with Add Blocker? That would be great!

    Here are some zoom add-ons which might provide a workaround:

  • Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks

    Anyone know which render format I should use, my film will be used on a video wall (12 screens) and I need super quality. My footage format is 1080p HD resolution 1920x1080. I will be running the project from a mac with a direct line to video wall. Thanks in advance.

    I do some VJ-type work, involving playback of QuickTime files from the computer to projections, and I get good results using ProRes 422. That's convenient, because ProRes 422 is such a great editing codec, too.
    Traditionally, VJs use PhotoJPEG codec, which also works well, but it's a bad editing codec. So you would have to export an edited master, then convert.
    If you want it to look as good as possible, definitely schedule some time to test the footage on the wall. You may want to change the color correction of your footage to match the projectors. And if you feed the video wall some flat gray, you can see if any of the projectors need to be  adjusted.
    I'm not sure what application you're using for playback, but QuickTime Player 7 works well. It has an option to play fullscreen on an external monitor (View > Present Movie…).

    Work with and store the documents on DropBox or something similar. It's free for DropBox. All you need after that is access to the internet and regardless of where you are and what you're using you have access to your documents.

  • I downloaded the new firefox and now I get an error stating it won't run with my version of Mac OS? What is the fix?

    I was prompted to upgrade to Firefox 4 - I have a 3.6 version. When I move it to my application folder and tried to run it, I get the error that it cannot run with my version of Mac OS. I'm not sure how to update my OS version or go back to an older version of Firefox.

    Firefox 4 requires at least OS X 10.5. You can get the latest version of Firefox 3.6 from http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html
    Mozilla are working to prevent Mac users with non-compatible systems from getting the notification about Firefox 4, and also not displaying the "Download Firefox 4" button on http://www.mozilla.com

  • Run Windows 8.1 on Mac Air 100%?  How to update Mac Firmware?

    I know it's possible to run Windows 100% on my Mac through BootCamp (I have small SSD hard drive so it is one or other).  My question is if I install Mavericks on a USB thumb drive will I still receive firmware updates from Apple via keeping the USB updated?  Or, will those firmware updates just stay on USB?
    Thanks.

    What a question. Theoretically, if you keep OS X Mavericks installed in a USB drive and it is updated, you will be able to receive firmware updates and to get them installed in your Mac.
    To install firmware updates in your Mac, OS X copies the firmware to the EFI partition (a small partition at the start of the drive), and they are installed the next time your Mac starts up. This means that your USB drive with OS X Mavericks must be formatted in "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)" and have a GUID partition table. With this, all firmware updates will be installed to your computer.

  • How to view running instance in OSB like we can see in BPEL process

    Hi,
    If someone does call the proxy service twice , How can I see the running instance of particular proxy service ? Like we can view BPEL instance in Enterprise Manager 11g and debug the problem.
    Thanks

    OSB is a stateless and hence you cannot view running instances in OSB.
    You can use Log, Report and Alert actions to debug your code. Each one has their specific usage. Please refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/userguide/modelingmessageflow.html#wp1080496
    You can also use OSB Monitoring to capture the number of messages that were handled by OSB proxy/business service and specific details of how many successful and errored out. Please refer http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E13159_01/osb/docs10gr3/operations/monitoring.html
    Hope this helps.

  • I am running Photoshop CS6 on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 and every time I save a large eps I can not open it again. I get this message when I try. "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript."

    I am running Photoshop CS6 on a Mac OS X 10.9.3 and every time I save a large eps I can not open it again. I get this message when I try. "Could not complete your request because Photoshop was unable to parse the PostScript."

    Oh, dear.
    If you use PSE as your external editor for iphoto, you need to save the images back to iphoto by using Save, not Save As and not changing anything like the name or format that would bring up the Save As window. (You may need to adjust the editor prefs>saving files>on first save to save over existing.)
    OR you can export the photos from iphoto to the desktop, use file>open in the editor and then change whatever you want and either import the saved image to the organizer or import it back to iphoto as a new file. What you are doing is extremely risky, particularly to the iphoto library which you may easily damage by your workflow.
    I would start the organizer holding down the shift key, then create a new catalog and switch to the new one. Then try opening the editor without opening an image and see if you get any farther.
    PSE and iphoto are not designed to be used as you've been doing. You are trying to write to the iphoto library from outside iphoto, which is the fastest known way to corrupt the library and lose all your photos.
