Unable to view more than one open conversation in Messages / iMessage

After updating my OS to 10.9, my Messages (iMessages) fails to view multiple "open conversation". I can't seem to resize the window either. This is what it looks like:
Does anyone else have the same issue? How can I solve this? Any help will be appreciated, thanks.

Hi,
As a first step use the Finder > Go Menu and hold the ALT key to see the Library and select it.
Navigate to the Preferences folder.
Find com.apple.ichat.plist and Drag it to the Trash.
Restart Messages.
This particular .plist holds the windowing info  and yours seems to have lost the fact it is supposed to have the List on the left and the other interface items across the top.
Also try the Window Menu  > Messages (Or it's keystrokes)
This is because you can create a natural single chat window by double clicking on the list on the left (one chat) an this will open a window like you posted.
The Main window can then be closed.
All new invites/chats are in the hidden main window.
(The chat actually continues in both "windows" if you leave it open).

  • How do I reopen or reset the option that allows me to view more than one open email account at a time?

    In the past, I could open one email address, then jump to another email address, while not having to log in and out? I must have changes something? Once logged in to one email address, the other email addresses would rise up in the lower right corner to notify me I received a new email?
    How do I turn that back on?

    Hi snoreaustralia,
    It sounds like you just need to associate the PDF filename extension with Acrobat, rather than Preview. Please see this document from the Microsoft Help for instructions on choosing the default program for opening a particular file type (in your case, PDF): Change which programs Windows uses by default - Windows Help

  • More than one OPENING in FLOW_TYPE in the S Dimension

    Dear BPC Experts:
            I am using BPC 7.5 NW SP09 now, and need to create more than one Opening flow members.
    Can I give FLOW_TYPE OPENING to each opening flow member? Does such config affect the default caculation
    behind system? Like currency conversion or carry-forward business rules? Does anyone have similiar experience?
    Or I just don't have set OPENING FLOW_TYPE to those many opening flows?
    BRs,
    Fred Cheng

    Hi,
    Let me try to explain this.
    Lets say you have 2 accounts - ACC1 and ACC2.
    If you want to have opening flow for each of the accounts in the account dimension, itself, then you will have soemthing like
    ACC1
       ACC1OPE
    ACC2
       ACC2OPE
    So, you see, the number of members can increase tremendously.
    To overcome this problem, we use the subtable type of dimension. In this dimension, you will have only one member for opening flow - OPE
    No, the if you look at the data region ACC1 and OPE, it will show you the opening value of ACC1,
    Similarly, if you look at the region ACC2 and OPE, it will show you the opening value of ACC2.
    Hope you got the idea, now.

  • View more than one table in SD3 simultaneously

    Is there a way to 'view' more than one table at a time in SQL Developer 3? Currently, if I have a tab open that shows contents of a table, and I double-click on another table I want to look at, the previous table view closes, and a new one reopens. I'm looking for a way to keep two such views open at the same time.
    Has this question been addressed in the forum before?
    Thanks!

    Hi there
    If you go to Window > Arrange you can choose from several view options. Below I have selected Two-Up Horizontal since I have two images, but you can select other options if you have more than one image.

  • Unable to minimize windows or view more than one window

    I had a MacBook Pro prior to the MacBook 2015. I never had a problem minimizing windows. I really need to have more than one window open at same time, but I can't seem to do this with MacBook. There usually is a white dot in middle where it was yellow in MacBook Pro to minimize the window. There is an icon with double page symbol I can click in the right corner, but when it shows a thumbnail image of each website on one page instead of minimizing the window when I click on it. Is there something I can click on to minimize the window so more than one window appears at the same time? I do not even see line/arrow appear in corners of window to drag the window to a smaller size.

    I do not even see line/arrow appear in corners of window to drag the window to a smaller size.
    Just put your cursor on any edge or corner of a window until you see the double arrows then click and hold while you drag to resize. This is no different than it's been for the last 4 years since the introduction of Lion.

    The yellow dot will minimize the window to the Dock.

  • How to view more than one file at a time in CS4?

    With OS 10.5, and a brand new CS4 Photoshop, I can open many Photoshop files at a time, but can only view one at a time. Must choose one at a time from the "tab". I need to have more than one picture open and showing at a time to work on them. How can I do that? What have I missed? Who can help? Thanks!

    "Here's the smart way for all of you on macs. Set up Exposé and a keystroke for 'Application windows'. Then with the press of a single key you can visualize, and swap between documents very easily. By I single keystroke I mean something like Right Control.
    Tabbed documents have hardly any genuine advantages for mac users, yet another example of interface decisions in the stupid direction."
    This is what I've been saying since I first saw the tabbed view in the new CS4.  On the Mac, tabbed view is a big step backwards as it actually breaks the superior Expose' method of viewing multiple windows and also switching among them.  I would also add that Control/Tab for non-tabbed windows is actually slightly faster than when they are tabbed.  So for the mac, I only needed a minute to decide that the tabbed view was merely change for the sake of change.  There are also operations that I do where I have to recreate a piece of art to match an existing piece.  In those situations I always have the original right next to the the new image.  Tabbed view destroys this as well.  So I don't use it.
    For the PC, tabbed views is possibly a tiny step forward, but it's such a small step that I'm not sure if I prefer to use tabs, or have that small amount of screen space that the tabs use.  There was no previously existing "good" method of viewing and moving among multiple windows of a single application on the PC and therefore, tabs might be a small improvement.  Unfortunately though it does seem that in order to bring us tabbed views in CS4, Adobe had to slightly 'break' the regular floating windows view.  On the PC the documents will actually float above the toolbars, palettes,etc making it very difficult to use if not impossible.  So, if you don't like using tabs, then you are really gonna suffer with non-tabbed view or suffer with the tabbed view.  On the Mac, it's the opposite problem.  Documents actually float up and underneath the top toolbar, covering the "close, maximize, minimize" buttons.  Generally I would say that Adobe has created a mess when the best solution was obvious.  Adobe should have copied the expose' method for it's CS4 suite.  Hopefully they will have enough feedback with CS4 to see the light and change it for CS5.  I see that Microsoft has mouse software that has already done just that on the PC, and there are a handful of independent efforts attempting to come up with something like expose' but generally with far less elegant and less "perfect" results.

  • Viewing More than one report at a time

    Hi guys, i have an application developed with 6i forms, when i call reports, it shows up fine but users cannot open more than one report at a time. All opened reports are cued up.
    Is there any parameter i can set so that many reports can be viewed at the same time. Am using run_report_object to call reports.
    Thanks

    Hi Darwin
    Yes best tool is FinalCut Pro and it's MultiCamera function.
    But one can do it in a fairly easy way in FinalCut Express
    • Drop Camera one clip into video track 1
    • Camera two => V-track 2
    • Camera three => V-track 3
    Double click on the clip in track 1.
    Now You see it in Viewer
    Turn on Image + Wireframe (above the picture in viewer window)
    Now shrink it to take up a Quater and move it up to the left hand corner
    Repeat with track 2 and three but move them into a free corner
    Now when You play TimeLine You see all three videos playing in concordance.
    Now You have to move them so that they sync. I use a photo flash during recording
    to get one white frame on all cameras
    Then to the edit.
    Turn on Toggle Clips Overlays [alt+W] - this turns on the transparicy line in each
    videoclip and audio level on those
    I use the transparicy line and the Pen tool to increase transparacy to 100% on the
    part of a clip I want visibly and drag down the other two to 0%
    When I've done this trough out the full TimeLine
    • I go into each Video track and restore size to 100% and that they fill window
    Now playback and see if You are satisfied.
    Still - You now have to figure out on which Audio that works best.
    Good Luck
    BUT in FinalCut Pro this is very much more better and most of all time saving.
    Yours Bengt W

  • View more than one audio instrument midi window at same time Logic 7

    Hello,
    Is it possible to open up more than one audio inst midi window at the same time?
    It would save me so much time if I could view what is going on ie on the guitar & piano tracks on 2 separate tracks at the same time.
    I know it is possible to double click on the grid of an audio inst midi window to view all midi in one song at the same time but because I have a lot of audio insts in my songs it gets really confusing. It would be ideal if I could pick and choose specifically which audio inst tracks are displayed within the same window when doing the double click thing or be able to view 2 tracks at once.
    Thanks in advance.

    Are you refering on how to be able to view the Matrix Editor/Piano roll of 2 Audio instrument tracks in one window?

  • Unable to add more than one album at a time

    So I have had minimal issues with my ipod classic until about a week ago, when suddenly all 45gb of music on my ipod was erased. I didn't do anything stupid like disconnect it when it wasn't ready to be disconnected. So I restored my ipod and then began adding music on to it. The only problem is that if I try and add more than one album at a time, it freezes at some point and some error message pops up (there are a few differnt ones). After that happens practically nothing can be added to my ipod. Any solutions?

    Yes, I was able to add as many albums as I wanted before the crash and I have restored it three or four times since then because of this problem.

  • Unable to move more than one song at a time

    For some reason, iTunes has stopped allowing me to move more than one song at a time to playlists or my manually-managed iPod. I can grab as many songs as I want, but when I drag them over to the sidebar, i don't get the little green plus sign that means you can add the songs.
    If I only select one song, it woks fine.

    Did you by any chance uncheck the the boxes beside any or all of the songs in the library? Unchecked songs won't play in a playlist or the library unless you select them individually: iTunes: Understanding the Symbols Next to Songs
    Holding down the Control key and clicking the checkbox next to a song in the library or a playlist will toggle the marks for all the songs on or off: : iTunes 7 Keyboard Shortcuts for Windows

  • Unable to print more than one copy at a time to any printer

    I've had this issue for a while but have just been dealing with it but I ran into an issue where I needed 50 copes of a document and I had to print the document 50 times......
    First, the issue; Through any of the applications I've tried (Preview, Adobe, Pages, numbers) to print multiple copies, I can't get more than one to print at a time. Even if I set the number of copies to 2, 5, 10 or whatever, only one copy prints.
    I've tried multiple printers, One connected via USB, one shared through an OS X Leopard server and the other through an IP port all with the same result.
    All of the printers are various HPs but I had this issue with a Lexmark one in the past. I am running 10.5.5 and am really hoping someone has a solution to this.
    Thanks,

    anyone...?
