How the bleepin-bleep do I get this **** thing to work?

I'm trying to create an automation that opens a series of excel files (got that to work), and then runs a series of steps (like the old macros used to do) on each one. However, my pseudo-macro doesn't work, all I get is a generic "encountered an error" error message. I can't figure out what is the error, I can't find any useful help documents, and I was even less successful trying to create an applescript to replace macros a few weeks back. I'm wasting more time on this "time saver" than it would take to repeat these 10 steps 120 times! HELP!

See http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2039384 and Introduction to Automator tutorial at http://automator.us/leopard/video/index.html

How can I get this thing to work without apple id? :(

I've got Iphone 4s from my boss instead of my paycheck due to a bankrot. And he doesn't remember his apple id,password or e mail he used to activate Iphone.. How can I get this thing to work without it? :/

You can't.
Sounds like it he gave you a stolen iPhone or at least a worthless one.

How do I get this thing to work?

I have Photoshop Elements 10 and Windows 7. When I first installed Photoshop it worked fine, then after a month or so it wouldn't open.
Under Case # 0184148455 Adobe gave me the following instructions:
1. Navigate to C:\Program Files(x86)\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 10, right-click on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe file and select Properties;
2. In Properties window, select Compatibility tab;
3. Check the option "Run this program in compatibility mode for: Windows XP Service Pack 3;
4. Check the option "Run this program as an administrator", then click OK;
5. The click on Windows Start button, type %programdata% and hit enter, In Program Data folder, open Adobe folder and rename Photoshop Elements folder to Photoshop Elementsold;
6. Then double-click on PhotoshopElementsEditor.exe file and check if you can launch Photoshop Elements 10.0
I followed these steps and lo! Photoshop opened.
That was about 6 weeks ago, now, today, again, Photoshop won't open.
I retraced the above steps and, after 5. I note there are now two folders, PhotoshopElements which contains two files: 10.0 6/9/13 and FileAgent, 6/9/13, and
PhotoshopElementsold which contains 10.0 3/17/13 and FileAgent 3/18/13 plus Catalogs 3/17/13 which is just an empty folder.

It worked! Thanks very much.

I can't get this thing to work!!!!

I plug my ipod into my computer at work where I have itunes installed and it shows that the ipod is updating, actually showing the songs getting transfered! When the update is complete, no songs appear on my ipod, no memory is used according to the "settings" "about" screen, but itunes on my computer recognizes it and shows 11 gigs used. I tried resetting a couple of times with the same result-no songs on my ipod. I had itunes on my computer long before I owned an ipod, so this is baffeling. I realize that I'm probably a computer idiot, but this should be simpler.

What you describe has all the hallmarks of this.
Strange iPod behavior.

Anyone get this thing to work on an iPhone?

I can read posts, but I can’t reply. The reply screen loads, but I can’t enter any text in the main text field. Original iPhone running 3.13.

You can get it to work. Read my response on the thread asking about the iPad (here). The iPad Safari and iPhone Safari work the same way

My "Hanging with Friends" app keeps crashing whenever I try to open it. I have deleted and re-downloaded the app, restarted my iPhone, and even restored my iPhone all together, and nothing is working. How can I get this app to work again?

Can you start Firefox in [[Safe mode]] ?
You can also do a clean reinstall and download a fresh Firefox copy from http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html and save the file to the desktop.
Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can initially skip the step to create a new profile, that may not necessary for this issue.

When I use my Apple ID for the last 12 hours I get this response: "There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (4)". How do I get around this? Try two apple ID's. Same thing.

The message function on my Ipad just quit working. I was using it while in Mexico and it just quit. I have come home and synced my Ipad with Itunes and function still does not work. How do I get this function to work again?

When I use find file http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/30073/find-file (which does tend to find files that "Finder" can't), it's not coming up with any other itunes library files that have been modified in the past week, which I know it would have been - unfortunately, I don't have a very recent backup of the hard drive. It would be a few months old so it wouldn't have the complete library on it....any ideas? I'm wondering if restarting the computer might help but have been afraid to do so in case it would make it harder to recover anything...I was looking at this thread https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4211589?start=0&tstart=0 in the hopes that it might have a helpful suggestion but it's definitely a different scenario.

That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Vista instructions in the following document: Check your hard disk for errors
Windows 7 instructions in the following document: How to use CHKDSK (Check Disk)
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get itunes to launch properly afterwards?

When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, how can I upgrade?

When I try to upgrade to Mountain Lion OS form Lion OS, after I select the "Buy App" option I get this "We could not complete your purchase. The product distribution file could not be verified. It may be damaged or was not signed" message, what is causing this problem, how can I find a solution, is someone else having this problem?

The only thing that worked for me was to boot in safe mode.
Power down. Then press power button and hold 'shift' key until grey screen with progress bar appears... Once booted and logged in just open safari and browse to applestore.
No trouble at all once I did this.
Reminder: create full backup before you upgrade OS
Hope it helps.

How can I get this program to work -- Adobe Send or Adobe SendNow

How can I get this program to work? I have used Adobe SendNow successfully for several years and am on automatic renewal and getting nothing but frustration for my money! I have been unsuccessful at sending anything in the past several months. Today while working on a deadline and many unsuccessful attempts to upload files, I signed up for a free trial at a competitor in order to get my files sent. Want a refund -- or better yet, keep my money and get it to work right again.

You can't.

You are welcome. I'm glad you got it back up.
(1) You say you did the symbolic link. I will assume this is set correctly; it's very important that it is.
(2) I don't know what you mean by "Been feeding the [email protected] for several weeks now, 700 emails each day at least." After the initial training period, SpamAssassin doesn't learn from mail it has already processed correctly. At this point, you only need to teach SpamAssassin when it is wrong. [email protected] should only be getting spam that is being passed as clean. Likewise, [email protected] should only be getting legitimate mail that is being flagged as junk. You are redirecting mail to both [email protected] and [email protected] ... right? SpamAssassin needs both.
(3) Next, as I said before, you need to implement those "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server." Once you have that done and issue "postfix reload" you can look at your SMTP log in Server Admin and watch as Postfix blocks one piece of junk mail after another. It's kind of cool.
(4) Add some SARE rules:
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/rules.htm and download the following rules:
70sareadult.cf
70saregenlsubj0.cf
70sareheader0.cf
70sarehtml0.cf
70sareobfu0.cf
70sareoem.cf
70sarespoof.cf
70sarestocks.cf
70sareunsub.cf
72sare_redirectpost
Visit http://www.rulesemporium.com/other-rules.htm and download the following rules:
backhair.cf
bogus-virus-warnings.cf
chickenpox.cf
weeds.cf
Copy these rules to /etc/mail/spamassassin/
Then stop and restart mail services.
There are other things you can do, and you'll find differing opinions about such things. In general, I think implementing the "Frontline spam defense for Mac OS X Server" and adding the SARE rules will help a lot. Good luck!
