Applescript

I have a similar challenge, selecting files from a list. The applescript code that was posted here seems to be very, very slow. ...

Hey Guys! I have a ton of questions but for now lets start with this one. Im using automator to run a serious of scripts. The script starts by going online (http://dropbox.domain.com/file) and downloading a specific file. But I noticed that if there is an Internet issue/ or no connection for some reason, the script fails. I would like to add an applescript that will First...

I am in need of an applescript that will mount an internal hard drive. ...

I have been imaging machines via the network off of our 10.5.8 Server with Netboot for the last year. This morning I finally upgraded to OSX 10.6 Server and now I am getting error messages that I for the life of me cannot figure out. When I boot off the network with a machine to be imaged I am greeted with an error stating: "There was an error retrieving the...

Folks, I'm a relative newbie to the world of Mac OS. I have a Macbook Pro which came preloaded with 10.4 (I think), and later updated to 10.5.x. Recently, after a family vacation, I downloaded 700+ photos and movies from my digital camera to the Macbook.

I set this up to move my stickies and saved it as an app. It uses the first letter of each sticky note to figure out where I want it. You have to do a little work and to figure out what the x, y, height, and width are, but it's not that big a deal... Just copy and paste the code into an applescript. Then change the info and tweak it til it's right, and then save it as an...

ost it. Here's to hoping that 10.6.2 will have this fixed. Would be nice of apple to just release a replacement app for this. Hmm I wonder if I could build an applescript or automator sequence that would startup my sticky app and move them to the right position. I will report back if I figure this out... ...

Hi I would like to download a series of URLs that all start with the same path, but just end in a different number, there is about a thousand pages, so I doing it manually is out of the question, I would prefer to do this with something like automator or applescript, but any way of doing this would be fine. Basically I need to generate a list of URLs, the adding 1 to the...

I have installed SL over L (i.e. not a clean install) and I don't recommend it. I would add that I was quite happy to do this, so I am not disappointed. My Mac Mini (see specs below) has slowed down ++. I can't remember seeing the spinning pizza so much. Perhaps 1 GB of RAM is bare bones for this OS, or more likely a clean install is only the sensible option. Photoshop...

enable the screen saver. I'm looking for these actions to occur automatically, which is possible with Jiggler, and also with the AppleScript I wrote. ...
