Current: macOS Monterey 12.0.1
Hello, does anyone know how to open more than 1 instance of the app on a Mac.
-
I have it ticked to allow opening of multiple battlenet app on the bnet option already.
- By clicking on the app itself again, it just switches me back to the current app thats already logged in.
-
My game and bnet is on an external drive so checking on a lot of online help to just do -n -a “App name” (in Applications) doesn’t work for me
-
I used to be able to do it on Big Sur but due to the recent inability to update WoW (asking for admin rights tho you are already admin), I updated it to Monterey 12.0.1. So is there anything different for the Terminal app to understand?
I am not tech savvy so please explain in simpleton terms
This was what was working for me:
open -n -a /Volumes/Extreme\ Pro/World\ of\ Warcraft/Battle.net.app
Its been yonks since I remembered where I found how to do it and for safety reasons I saved it in my rtf file. Now it doesn’t work. Even though the Battle.net. app is on the same path.
Error Message I get for using it is below:
The application /Volumes/Extreme Pro/World of Warcraft/Battle.net.app cannot be opened for an unexpected reason, error=Error Domain=NSCocoaErrorDomain Code=260 “The file “Battle.net.app” couldn’t be opened because there is no such file.” UserInfo={NSURL=file:///Volumes/Extreme%20Pro/World%20of%20Warcraft/Battle.net.app, NSFilePath=/Volumes/Extreme Pro/World of Warcraft/Battle.net.app, NSUnderlyingError=0x600003e94db0 {Error Domain=NSPOSIXErrorDomain Code=2 “No such file or directory”}}
***Do note that I did delete the Battle.net app among other attempts to try to fix problem (3). I have reinstalled Bnet app back to the same directory under World of Warcraft on the external drive. So does it not work with me just copy pasting what I used to do? I cant remember how I ended up with this line for Terminal: open -n -a /Volumes/Extreme\ Pro/World\ of\ Warcraft/Battle.net.app where it looks like the forward and backward slashes are inconsistent.
Again… my apologies I am not tech savvy so let me know of any suggestions with how to actually get there. I did try:
open -n -a /Volumes/Extreme Pro/World of Warcraft/Battle.net.app
and got back this error (user name changed to MYNAME):
/Users/MYNAME/Pro/World, /Users/MYNAME/of, and /Users/MYNAME/Warcraft/Battle.net.app do not exist.
Any suggestions or help would be much appreciated. Thank you!
