How to open all dock apps at once?

[iJimmy]

I've seen a video on youtube awhile back about opening all the dock apps at once. But now I'm having trouble finding it.

Does anyone know how to open them all at once?

You can open all apps at once from the Applications folder by hitting Command+A then Command+O.

Thanks for the fast reply, Is there a way to close them all at once? LOL

Not sure, Command-Q repeatedly will do the job though.

Hold down the power button. j/k. Curious, why would you want to do that?

I just wanted to see how long it would take to open them all. but yea, it was easier just to reboot.

It is interesting that Apple salespeople are just learning about this and are demoing it as a "stress test" for the new fusion drives. I also found a link that seemed be a better solution: http://osxdaily.com/2012/10/02/stress-test-mac-cpu/

lol...just use Force Quit Application (Option + Command + esc). select all (command + A)

But opening just the apps you have in the Dock...? Maybe a script could be written to do that. I don't ever use them, so just a hunch.

Make a folder, and put an alias for each Dock app inside that folder. Then CTRL-A the contents of that folder and hit CTRL-O, or CMD-down arrow.

You can CMD select the application you want to quit in activity monitor and quit them all at once.
