Why can't I have two applications open on the desktop at the same time ?

I can, it seems, with two Mac applications (eg Numbers and Pages) but cannot with non-Mac software. For example I would like to have Firefox (web broswer) open at the same time as running Songbird (music player). But when I click on one the other minimises to the dock. I've tried varios combinations of holding companion keys down when I click (CMD, Shift etc) to no avail.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Wait a full minute for the Time Capsule to restart, then check the network again.

Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time? (Elements 13 for Windows)

Hi there.
Can I have two projects open on Premiere Elements at the same time?
The reason I wanna do this is because I've trimmed many hours of clips in one project (One timeline) and I want to start a new project where I have a "clean" timeline and can add clips from the
first project (Cut and paste). Or how do I bring a trimmed clip from one project into another in a easy way?
Thanks
-Dan-

Your question is in the Photoshop Elements forum. There is another forum for Premier Elements and this will probably be moved.
That said, the answer is that Premier Elements has not be designed with the ability to cut and paste from one project to another. The only "work around" is to "Publish&Share" to a best quality format that matches your project settings. You can control the output clips with the "work area bars". You can then add the new clip to the second project. The output rendering process can, at least in theory, reduce the picture quality. Depending on formats, settings and footage, it may not be noticeable.
There is a third party product called Clipmate that some say works, but not always with good results.

HT1338 Question: Why can't I double click and open anything on desktop?

I can double click on anything on my desktop. It will highlight it but will not open it. I can open applications from the dock at the bottom
and if I drag some things there they will open. I cannot open a program first from the dock, highlight the document on my desktop that uses that program, then open a document or photo. Inciden tally my mouse is also wildy erratic and will very quickly clear anything open on the desktop to the sides. I cannot delete anhything that comes in mail, and I can't delete or amend or aff any new or old Contacts. Any ideas?

If you select one of these files on the Desktop and perform a Get Info ( ⌘ I ) and then open the Sharing & Permissions section, is your account shown as having Read & Write access? Are there other accounts listed for the file? Does the same issue occur with files in your Documents folder?

My company recently loaded foxfire and I cannot have two applications open in foxfire, the second page overlays the first and I cannot go back to the previous page or reduce the first page to view the first.

My pages in Foxfore are overlaying one another which is normal but you cannot get back to the previous page. An example is if I have a page opened in a program and open something totally different it replaces the first page and I cannot reduce the size to see the first page I was viewing nor go back to it. I did open a page with audio and opened another application in foxfire and the replacing went on as usual but the audio continued to play so the page is stinn there. Also the tool bar page showing icon is replaced with the newly opened page not an additional page opened being shown as a tab. It's like the newest page or site I open in Foxfire replaces the one that is currently opened.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I first had sites opening with Foxfire

This might be caused by a recent Flash 11.3 update.

Why can't I have two libraries?

I have two computers and it won't allow me to add all my music to my iPhone 3G. I can put all my music on it then hook it up to another computer then it wants to delete it and sync it with all the other music. Its either I delete all of it from the other computer or I don't put songs on it from another PC. Is there a way around this?

I have a MBP and a Windows PC. Purchased a program called TuneRanger which sync's/copies both library's so they are always the same. Not that problem is gone...

Why can't we have "show cookies" menu be a button in the new drop down menu on FF29 ?

I see the new Firefox 29 has a drop down menu in the upper right corner, with various shortcut symbols. One of them is "preferences", but I would like to make that to be have an even shorter shortcut to "show cookies", instead of having it buried in several clicks as in the old versions of FF.

# Install Cookie Manager Button and restart Firefox if prompted.

# Right-click (or Ctrl+click) an empty area of the tab bar and choose Customize.
# Drag the Cookies button from the palette onto the menu panel on the right.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPads and iPhones don't in the house, just the iPod touch gen 5, entering the password every time is a pain, why can't it have a button to remember password like all the other devises.

My iPod touch gen5 wifi keeps dropping out. All the other iPods, iPad, and iPhone 4's don't in the house.
Why doesn't it remember the wifi password like the other i devises, it's a bugger entering it in every time.

You late question did get answered:on the 18th of this month. Sounds like you did not like the answers. Starting a new post without mentioning yur first post wastes people time
My iPod touch 5th gen isn't charging and when I plug my working charger in that I've always used a message pops up that says "This accessory may not be supported". So can I send it in for a new one if I have a warranty?

Why do i sometimes have two albums in album flow mode for the same album?

I have a number of albums within itunes and some of them display as being on 2 seperate albums on the Cover Flow (As in, it will show the same cover twice). Usually when I select the first cover, it selects the first song on the album in list view, then I select the second cover it selects the second. Clicking on the song titles in list view change the cover flow in the same manner, first song - first cover, second+ song - second cover.
Not a huge issue, but I'd like to know whats causing this.
As a heads up, I've checked all the Info for both covers and everything is exactly the same (except the song number x of y). I'll check out the file directories of these albums and see if theres any issues there

In case it isn't clear anyone answering your question is doing so in their own time. You got the brief "your answer is here" version today as I was about to dash out of the door. Another time you could have had a more focused response. Either way, you should find that article will help with any other weird grouping issues that arise over time.

Why don't I have internet service for laptop and desktop at the same time

Time capsule will either provide Internet service to my iMac (hardwired) or my laptop (wireless), but not simultaneously.

Open Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > AirPort Utility

Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open and running a video and a flash game. Why?

Firefox freezes for up to a minute when I have two tabs open, one playing a YouTube video, the other with a flash game running, and the screen shows the contents of both tabs, one superimposed on the other. If I have other tabs open, they also appear as visual garbage on the same screen. After the freeze, everything semi-works, starting and stopping, with long frozen hangs.The frequency of this problem is increasing and greatly reduces Firefox's operating capacity. I am using Firefox 5.0 on a Windows Vista desktop made by Hewlett-Packard. I have cleared the caches and the problem persists, and I can't find any online help to explain why this is happening. I don't recall it happening with a previous version of Firefox.

Hello jesterabk, '''Try Firefox Safe Mode''' to see if the problem goes away. Safe Mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most add-ons.
''(If you're not using it, switch to the Default theme.)''
* You can open Firefox 4.0+ in Safe Mode by holding the '''Shift''' key when you open the Firefox desktop or Start menu shortcut.
* Or open the Help menu and click on the '''Restart with Add-ons Disabled...''' menu item while Firefox is running.
''Once you get the pop-up, just select "'Start in Safe Mode"''
'''''If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode''''', your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to figure out which one. Please follow the [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] article for that.
''To exit the Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.''
''When you figure out what's causing your issues, please let us know. It might help other users who have the same problem.''
Thank you.

Thanks. I don't know why it wouldn't just go back there when I tried putting it back? I didn't change anything, so I assumed the new "default" was over on the left. Glad it was a simple solution after all.

Mac OS X Mountain Lion supports multitasking like cbs20 mentioned. Just like MS Windows just press alt+tab to switch to whatever applications you have open.
Actually it isn't Alt-Tab on OS X, it's Command-Tab to use the Application Switcher.
Also, Control+ left/right arrow key will switch spaces if that's what's desired.

Thank you for replying. Unfortunately, I already did all of these things. As you can see from the below screenshot, the language is already set. Also, this screenshot was taken in Safe Mode, so NoScript is not enabled. About:accounts still says I need to enable cookies for some reason. So, this solution didn't work....
