Auto refresh with apple script- help please
can any one help me please
i use multiple windows in safari at one time and can any one help me to refresh these pages (two windows) automatically using apple script.
also if I click manually to refresh these pages i get the following note"
"To open this page again, Safari must resend the form you completed to open the page the first time. This may cause the website to repeat actions it took the first time you sent the form."
and i have click send for this to happen
any help from you all will be appreciated as this will help me a lot with the present work that i am doing
Not sure about the "automatic" reload - Opera allows you to set a refresh time interval for each tab, but not Safari. Also, Safari Extender gives you a single click contextual menu option to "reload all tabs".
here is an AppleScript for a one-page auto reload. You might be able to alter the script to auto reload all open tabs.
Not sure about the "warning" message. Can you post a URL so I can have a look?

Macbook stuck on white screen with apple logo. help please
I have a macbook (black model) and while I was surfing on internet it is frozen. so I shut it down and restarted. When I restarted, it stuck on white screen with gray apple logo and seems like booting but nothing happens.
after that, I restarted again and put installation disc (leopard) without pressing any key and it opened normally. I backed up os with time machine but in one hour it is frozen again.
restarted again but this time it did not boot normally. so i tried booting from cd with c key, it opened installation screen. I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.
After all, I tried to erase and install system several times, but after language section when I click agree to terms and conditions, mac freeze again.
So, I do not know what to do. Any help please?
Note: I already tried PRM and Safe Mode. (after safe mode it took me to installation screen again and nothing changed.)
Any help would be much appreciated!
Uptade: Also, opened system profiler and clicked on Serial-ATA, it seems loading but do not show any info. stucked again! help please

*"I have opened disk utility top repair disk, but when I click on disc image, repair / verify disk buttons are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported."*
You need to select "MacintoshHD 10.5.8 not "disc image" in order to run Disk Utility and Verify and if necessary, Repair the disk.
That's why you are seeing this dialog.
*are unavailable to click and S.M.A.R.T status is not supported.*
Also, run the Apple Hardware Test.

Does anyone know why I keep having to reinstall my Kaspersky security - could it be to do with being incompatible with apple security provided with my IMac desktop???? Help required please
This forum's veterans say "no anti-virus needed". I have not needed any despite some very accidental mis-spellings of IP adresses.
If any is felt necessary, ClamVax is free is the least intrusive of all options.
MacKeeper is effectively a virus itself to be avoided like the plague, along with anything from Zeobit.
Remove Kapersky, leave it off. -
Pleasewrite an AppleScript for the following scenario: You need to ping the address10.32.8.151 every 5 seconds and report to the current logged in user via adialog box and email a set address when the IP has failed to respond to morethen 6 pings or 30 seconds. Upon failure of the 6 ping test please have thescript run a trace route and export it to a file named tracereport.txt on~/Desktop
This sounds remarkably like a homework assignment to me...
I'm guessing something like this covers most of your points.
property theAddress : "10.32.8.151"
global missedPings
on run
set missedPings to 0 -- initialize the counter
end run
on idle
try
do shell script "/sbin/ping -c 1 -t 1 " & theAddress
on error
set missedPings to missedPings + 1
if missedPings = 6 then
networkDown()
tell me to quit
end if
end try
return 5
end idle
on networkDown()
do shell script "/usr/sbin/traceroute " & theAddress & " &> " & quoted form of POSIX path of ((path to desktop as text) & "tracereport.txt") & " &"
do shell script "/bin/echo 'Network missed 6 pings' | /usr/bin/mail -s 'Network down' [email protected]"
display alert "Oops. Network failure" giving up after 5
end networkDown -
Hi,
I found this Apple script online and here's how it works:
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
try
if not (exists document 1) then display dialog "Please open a QuickTime movie." buttons {"Cancel"} default button 1 with icon 1
set thefile to (choose file name)
save document 1 in thefile
close document 1
end try
end tell
+I run the Apple script+
*1. It prompts me to open a movie file in Quicktime*
+I open a movie in Quicktime+
*2. It prompts me for an name and directory to save the new file in*
+I enter a name and directory+
*3. It saves a new reference movie in said directory with said name*
This is useful if I want to customize every file, but unfortunately, I just want to mass create reference movies for a whole bunch of files.
What I am looking for is for an Apple script that is a drag and drop application, so I can drop say 100 movie files or so, and have the Apple script create reference movie files with the same name and in the same directory automatically with no prompts.
Since I am unfamiliar with Apple script I was wondering if someone would be able to edit my existing script to do what I want.
Thanks so much for your help!Use Automator. It's great for repetitious tasks (like the one you've described), and it's very user-friendly. Open Automator, create a new workflow that executes the action you want, and you can apply that action to the resources you wish to edit.
Good resource here:

I need a little help with Apple Script. I have been using a script for several months now, and all of a sudden it just stopped working. Here's the script"
============
with timeout of 9999 seconds
tell application "Finder"
activate
(* copy target file to another disk - to create a backup *)
duplicate file "Daily.dmg" of folder "File Backups" of disk "HD Mirror" to folder "Data Backup-Daily" of disk "MacHD 1" replacing yes
(* copy a 2nd target file to another disk - to create a backup *)
duplicate file "Personal.dmg" of folder "File Backups" of disk "HD Mirror" to folder "Data Backup-Daily" of disk "MacHD 1" replacing yes
(* now copy the 2nd target file to my iDisk *)
duplicate file "Personal.dmg" of folder "Data Backup-Daily" of disk "MacHD 1" to folder "Documents" of disk "xxxxxx" replacing yes
end tell
end timeout
============
In the above script, xxxxxx represents the name of my iDisk that is mounted in the Finder.
Here's my issue - the above script worked fine until just recently. However, now the first two steps work fine, but I get this error message while trying to copy the file to my iDisk:
"The operation could not be completed because some items had to be skipped. 'Personal.dmg'"
Does anyone have any ideas on how I can fix this? I'm wondering if Mac OS 10.4.5 might be the culprit since this problem seems to have occurred shortly after I upgraded???
Thanks,

APPLE SCRIPT HELP! Simple Renaming Script
I dont have any experience with apple script but desperately needed this for a work issue. I basically have tons of files with all the same type of name and need to send the first two numbers in the file to the end of the file as a suffix... so this...
01 alexa_02.mp3
needs to turn into this
01 alexa_02_01.mp3
So the function is take the first two characters from the file name of all the files in the folder and rename them with a suffix. Here is what I have so far.
PLEASE HELP! Im desperate!
[CODE]try
tell application "Finder" to set the source_folder to (choose folder with prompt "Pick the folder containing the files to rename:") as alias
end try
display dialog "Change Suffix to First Two Characters of File Name:" buttons {"Send The Pids!", "Cancel"}
set the button_pressed to the button returned of the result
set the item_list to list folder source_folder without invisibles
set source_folder to source_folder as string
repeat with i from 1 to number of items in the item_list
set this_item to item i of the item_list
set this_item to (source_folder & this_item) as alias
set this_info to info for this_item
set the current_name to the name of this_info
tell application "Finder"
if the button_pressed is "Send The Pids!" then
set the filename to the (current_name & the characters 1 thru 2 of current_name) as string
set orig to quoted form of POSIX path of current_name
set dest to source_folder & filename
try
set y to dest as alias
on error
set dest to quoted form of POSIX path of dest
set command to "mv " & orig & " " & dest
do shell script command
end try
end if
end tell
end repeat[/CODE]Made a short script on my own... normally you could do this using the Finder and run a recursive algorythm, but if you just use find to find all files in a folder that ft your criteria and use these links to generate a list of aliases (posix files) it is way faster and acomplished with less code :-)
set myfolder to characters 1 through -2 of (POSIX path of ((choose folder) as alias)) as text
set foundfiles to every paragraph of (do shell script "find " & quoted form of myfolder & " -type f -iname \"*.mp3\"")
repeat with afile in foundfiles
set afile to ((afile as text) as POSIX file as alias)
tell application "Finder"
set filename to name of afile
set filesuffix to (characters -4 through -1 of filename) as text
set addonsuffix to characters 1 through 2 of filename
set filename to (characters 1 through -5 of filename) as text
set newfilename to filename & "_" & addonsuffix & filesuffix
set name of afile to newfilename
end tell

How to make SSRS 2008 charts auto refresh with IE9
I have some charts on an SSRS report. The report is set to auto refresh every 5 seconds. The charts refresh fine, displaying any data updates in the database --- as long as I use IE8 or Chrome (Chrome only displays the top 3 inches of
the report, though, so I can't use it). However, the charts refuse to auto refresh with IE9. Windows 7 doesn't have IE8. I cannot find a solution. How can I get IE9 to refresh the charts? (Plain data will refresh, but charts will
not.)Hi TLWKY,
From your description, you set the report to refresh automatically and view it through Internet Explorer 9, however, the charts data of the report don't refresh properly although the plain text data of report refresh without problems.
The issue may be caused by a javascript error with resizing image in IE9. At this time, I suggest that you redesign the structure of your report by placing the charts in rectangles. If the charts are placed in tablix, please insert rectangles into the tablix
first.
As a workround, you can also downgrade IE9 to IE8. To do this, we can uninstall the installed update "Windows Internet Explorer 9" from contorl panel and Windows 7 will revert to IE8 automatically after rebooting. For more information, please see:
Downgrade IE9 to IE8 windows 7
Hope this helps.

Formated Search: Auto refresh with two conditions.
Hi,
I've created a Formated Search in one of my column.
I defined my formated search as :
- Auto refresh "When Exiting Altered Column" Item No.
- Display Saved Values.
Now how can I make it Auto refresh with two conditions?
- Auto refresh "When Exiting Altered Column" Item No.
And
- Auto refresh "When Field Changes" Customers/Vendor Code.
- Display Saved Values.
Is there any way to make it work?
Thanks In Advance.
Bruce.Hi Bruce,
You could try this trick.
You need to execute SELECT1 in Col1 when Item No. column is altered or the Customer code is changed.
Then, in the Item No. column asign a new Formatted Search which selects the Item No. column value (Its value) when the Customer code is changed.
And in the Col1 asign a formatted search that acts when the Item No. column is altered.
I think this should do the trick.
Let us know if works.
Regards,

I want to change my primary e-mail address that I use with Apple ID - help guide says Select Edit next to “Apple ID and Primary Email Address.” But there is no 'edit' on that section there is on every other but not that one. Can anyone help?
You can create an alias @icloud.com email address within your current account that will receive email in your current iCloud inbox (see http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a490a). (@me.com addresses are no longer available as new addresses.) Just be aware that you cannot use an alias address later to create a new iCloud account or move it to a different account.
Also, even if you created a new iCloud account with a new ID, your existing purchases would not be lost. They are permanently tied to the original ID you used to purchase them. You can also continue to use the existing ID for the iTunes store; it does not need to be the same as the ID you use for iCloud. -
Open multi page pdf specific page in Illustrator CS4 with apple script

Muchas Gracias por tu colaboración y excelente script, el que se abra el ESTK no tiene mayor importancia.
El caso es que Adobe recomienda encarecidamente NO utilizar Illustrator para editar PDFs, por diversas razones, aunque cuando no hay otro remedio o herramienta disponible, o conocida ...

after mixing a project i select bounce and burn the disc that is burned plays on any cd player but when i try to burn the wav or mp3 file that was created the resulting disc will only play in a computer this also happens with video projects help please are there any settings i need to alter as it seems the wav or mp3 file i ceated is being converted to a data file somewhere between the folder and disc drive
Same thing for a movie file.. If you want to play back the movie via a DVD and a DVD player you must create a Movie DVD and not just burn files to a data DVD... as Data DVDs are just storage devices for files and therefore will only work with computers...
Movie DVDs are special formats that include things like menus and special file formats.. so they can playback via a DVD Player...
You will need a 3rd party DVD Burning app like Toast which is what i actually use.... or the more popular DVD Creator app...to create and then burn a Movie DVD that will playback on a DVD Player....

Gallery script help, please
Gallery script help, please
Hello,
I'm new to actionscript in general, I do know a little...
I foung a gallery script, modified many things, the images
open fine, everything is working, but here's the thing:
the gallery is in 3 sections, red, blue and yellow.
I would like to know how, what, and where to put a script so
that if a "the small red image #1" is clicked, I can load any sort
of a movie on top of the "the BIG red image #1" or #2 or 3 and so
on...same goes for the blue and yellow...
If I figured things correctly on my own...the small thumbnail
images of the gallery are not buttons, that's why I can't attach a
movie (let's say) to them...but it is all written in script, using
the horizontal and vertical position of the mouse to open the large
images of the gallery...
So, I don't know how to figure things out, to attach a
specific movie to a specific thumbnail...
p.s.: I think the script that controls the gallery is in
symbol 120
I really would appreciate the help
Merry Christmas in advance to everyone
