View windows side by side

I am a new Mac user. Would someone tell me how to view 2 open windows side by side?

yes - use the diagonal stripe at the bottom right hand side of either window and drag it to the left until it fills half the screen. Then you will see the other window underneath. Click anywhere in it so that it comes to the front. Repeat the first sentence for this window. Grab the Grey menu bar at the top of this window and drag the whole window to the right. The previous window will reappear in the left hand half of the screen, whilst the second window remains on the right. Both half size.

How can I view two windows side by side?

I have two windows open in two different tabs, but I want to view them side by side on the screen. Can I do this in Firefox? How?

You could open a second Firefox window, adjust the sizes of the two windows and align them side by side. (Firefox button > New Tab > New Window '''''OR''''' CTRL+N '''''OR''''' File > New Tab > New Window if using the Menu Bar)
You could install one of the Add-ons to view multiple tabs at the same time:

Messages appear on the RIGHT SIDE of viewer window- how to change to bottom

I've got an iBookG4 and recently started using the Mail application (2.1). When I opened the program, the messages appear on the RIGHT SIDE of the viewer window, not on the bottom (as I'm used to from other email programs). I've tried all the Preferences, all the 'Window' options on the Mail application, but can't seem to find a way to get the messages to the bottom of the viewer window. Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.....

twodogmom,
It appears to me as if you, or a previous user of your computer may have installed a third party plugin such as Letterbox.
Uninstalling the plugin would result in Mail returning to the default appearance.

Can I view the Mac Lion side of my partition from the Windows 7 side?

I got Rosetta Stone for PC, on the Mac side of my partitioned Boot Camp.
Specs:
320 GB internal SATA
-250 GB Mac OS X Lion partition (primary)
-50 GB NTFS Windows 7 Ultimate partition
-20 GB Snow Leopard partition
500 GB External HDD
If I boot from the Lion or Snow Leopard, I can see all three partitions and modify the files (I partitioned the hard drive from the Lion side). However, if I boot from the Windows 7 Ultimate side of Boot Camp, the two Mac OS Journaled drives do not display in My Computer. If I open Disk Management, I can see them there but it says those partitions are empty. I know they are not, because I can reboot and boot from them both. I want to see them in My Computer.
Is there a way to modify the filesystems of the two OS X drives, where my copy of Rosetta Stone lies, and move it over to the Windows side of my partition, so I can install and use it? Drivers or other workarounds are welcome, as well as any suggestions. Thank you!

Try MacDrive or Paragon HFS (the demo is fully functional) they support read/write.
But having your partition setup is not ''by the book' and the hidden partitions seems to be one of the side effects.
Apple has an HFS read only feature or 'driver' but it is not as good and very limited so either of the 3rd party are preferrable anyway.

I have photoshop CC. I cannot open two files such as Tiffs and view them side by side. When I open the second file it overrides the first. Do I need to do something with preferences?

What happens when you try to use the clone stamp tool?
It should work with the images side by side.
You can setup photoshop cc to be like photoshop cs2 was on your other mac, by going to Photoshop>Preferences>Interface and unchecking
Open Documents as Tabs and Enable Floating Document Window Docking
And also going to Window and unchecking Application Frame

Is it possible to view two web pages side by side on Safari

I am looking for a command that would put two or more web pages(or any open windows) side by side or even stacked so they can be viewed simultaneously. I know you can do this by resizing the the windows but I was wondering if there something already within Safari or Mac that would do the sizing automatically for you.
I remember back in the old Windows 3.1 days there was a Panel option under in the window menu that would this. And I also saw that this is possible in Windows 7 now. Surely, Mac has a way!
Thanks,
Casa

I misnamed this the option I am looking for. It is called "Tiling". After some research I found out that this is one of the features that former Windows users miss the most when they come over to Mac. I will have to concur. I don't know why Mac has not added this simple feature.
However, there is a third part app that makes this possible - SizeUp by Irradiated Software. You can download it here - http://www.apple.com/downloads/macosx/productivity_tools/sizeup.html
There is a limited free version called Two up from the same developer.

Save for Web & Devices 2-up view not appearing side by side

Hi, I'm hoping someone can help me with this issue. In Photoshop CS4, when I used to go to the Save for Web & Devices screen, I liked using the 2-up view so I could see the difference between my original and the optimized versions. However, I've tried doing this in CS4 now and I remember seeing (in CS3 I believe) where the layout of the 2-up view was side by side (vertically) so you could have the original on the left and the optimized on the right. Now, in CS4, at least on my machine (mac OSX tiger), the 2-up view only displays the original and optimized horizontally (with the original on top and the optimized below). Is this a fixed layout for the 2-up view or can this be changed? Is this normal is something corrupted? I've looked everywhere for a button or setting to click (that I could think of) and have not been able to find a place where the layout setting can be changed. I know it's a very small issue for most people, but I really preferred viewing the two versions side by side vertically instead of one on top of the other. I'm assuming that this is just a setting somewhere that the user could change but I don't know - perhaps this interface update is new to CS4 and is not customizable?
Anyone have any information or solutions to this?

Thanks so much...that was so easy, but I don't think I would ever have found it!
It works now, I just resized the window and it's now side by side...funny how this was not described in the help file when I looked it up!
Thanks again.

Windows 2008 R2 Standard side by side error

I have a Dell Poweredge 310 running Windows 2008 R2 Standard. I have update the bios to the latest version and the bios update did take but now all of my 32bit software will not run. I receive the error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail”
I have looked over other posts and most have stated to install the C++ redistribution 2008. I was able to install the 64 bit version but I cannot install the 32bit version. I receive the error “The application has failed to start because its side-by-side
configuration is incorrect. Please see the application event log or use the command-line sxstrace.exe tool for more detail.”
So I am not able to install any 32bit software. I have tried to enable the WOW64 feature with the command DISM /online /enable-feature/featurename:ServerCore-WOW64 but get this Error: 0x800f080c Feature name ServerCore-WOW64 is unknown.
I have also tried to use this command to setup WOW64 start /w ocsetup ServerCore-WOW64 I get this “The specified windows component could not be found: ServerCore-WOW64.
I have looked at the .Net 3.5 that comes installed in the Windows Features and it is installed. I do not want to uninstall and reinstall the feature because it will take down the AD and I really do not want to rebuild the AD
Is there some setting I am missing?

Viewing pdf files side-by-side in Preview.app

I was wondering if Preview allows two PDF files viewed side-by-side like Adobe Reader. That is, under Adobe, when you have two PDF files open, you can go to Windows->Tile->Vertically to place two PDF files side-by-side for easy viewing. I know you can always adjust the size of the Preview window to view the two files side-by-side, but I was just wondering if there is just a button that I can just easy accomplish what adobe can do.
Thanks,
Arthur.

How to view one photo with one XMP based adjustment side by side with another XMP version?

Hi,
I was wondering if there is a simple way of quickly and easily comparing side by side the same photo that may have different adjustments made to it.
I do some freelance work where in one job I receive up to 800 images to edit. After my work is complete I send the XMP files back to my boss. He may or may not further tweak them for correctness. He then sends these files to the client.
I want to compare the original XMP files I sent against the final XMP files that the client receives to see what changes were made. My boss can't remember exactly which files he tweaked so I wanted to do that visually.
Is there an easy way to do this in Bridge? Can I quickly switch the adjustments from one set of XMPs to the other, or better yet, view the same image side by side with different adjustments applied to them?
Thanks!

Is there an easy way to do this in Bridge? Can I quickly switch the
adjustments from one set of XMPs to the other, or better yet, view the same
image side by side with different adjustments applied to them?
As far as I know you can't see different versions of the same file in
Bridge, I think you can do so in Aperture ;-0
The easiest way I can think of is to have two sets of files by duplicating
the current series you have tweaked. The duplicates have copy in the
filename but will stay in the correct order when having file name selected.
The duplicates stay as you have them tweaked, the originals will be modified
with new XMP as you get them back.
Choose sort by modification date to select the files with modified xmp data
and color label those. Again choose all the content with sort for filename
and you can easily see the color labels next to the original duplicates.
Select both one modified and one original and view them next to each other
in the preview window.
Maybe others have a better method?

Viewing Original and modified side by side

Hi,
I was wordering if it where possible to see the original picture while having the modified one side by side to see the difference while editing.
Thanks,
Stephane

Hi Stephane,
With iPhoto 6 you can hold down the Control key after the edit to view the original and edited photo side by side.
This option is not available in iPhoto 5.
You can however drag the photo from the library view to the desktop to copy the original to the desktop. Double click to open the photo on the desktop in Preview.
Now within iPhoto, do your edit on the photo in the library. Switch between iPhoto window and the Preview window to compare. You should be able to view both at the same time by adjusting your windows.

Viewing Pages and Safari side-by-side

I'm working on a Pages document, and I'm flipping back to Safari for research. Is there a way to view my pages screen and my safari screen side by side? Every time I click on one, the other automatically minimizes and disappears. I'd like both to remain on the screen.

Sarah,
If you grab the lower right hand corner of the app window, you can size it to half-screen. Then grab it by the title bar and position it left or right so you can see both windows. What you are describing isn't what would normally happen. Shifting the focus from one app to the other by clicking in its window doesn't minimize anything, it just moves one app backwards (into the screen) such that it may be covered by the active app.
Keep in mind that you can scroll with the track pad or the mouse scroll wheel in the inactive app window without shifting the focus to that window. Just move the cursor over the inactive app's window without clicking on it and operate the scroll function.

Sidebar ... how can i keep sidebar on at all times instead of going to view and clicking on side bar?

How can i keep the sidebar in view instead of going to view and cliking on side bar?

Found the Solution to my problem. Just had to put cursor on the corners of the open window and "stretch" the window to the left, to the right, then up only to the point of the screen where the "Menu" is still visible. This solved the problem I had. Thanks.
