Where can I find "Getting Started with AppleScript"?

I googled it. And it doesn't show any links from Apple. I'm trying to learn AppleScript and the Language guide says to go through the Overview first which in turn recommends going through Getting Started with AppleScript.
I even searched Mac Reference Library but it just doesn't show up!
Any help?

No, certainly not. I mean, I don't know any AppleScript, but I can say with certainty that the answer to that question is no.
Objective-C is a programming language that is an extension of the C language. It is the language that is used to develop applications for Mac and iPhone. Other languages like C++ and Java can be used as well, but Objective-C is the language that Apple really intends for you to use for Mac and iPhone development, since it is heavily integrated with the Cocoa framework (for Mac developemt) and Cocoa Touch framework (for iPhone development). You need to know the C language to learn the Objective-C language, and you need to know the Objective-C language to work with the Cocoa or Cocoa Touch frameworks, but AppleScript is a totally separate and different animal from these things. AppleScript is a scripting language, and although it can technically be used to create applications from what I understand, it is mainly used as a mechanism for controlling applications. For example, you could use AppleScript to tell a certain application to perform a certain task everyday at a certain time. You can use it to create automated workflows and whatnot. I think that's what it's mainly meant for.
It's worth noting, however, taht there is a development environment called AppleScriptObjC. I don't really know anything about this, except that it allows for AppleScript to be used as the primary programming language.
I found a lot of this information at [Wikipedia's AppleScript page|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AppleScript], so you might want to consider looking over it real quick -- it might be helpful. Here is the link to [Wikipedia's Objective-C page|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Objective-c] and [Wikipedia's Cocoa page|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cocoa_%28API%29]. As someone said on these forums, Wikipedia is far from the last word on any subject, but those links might be helpful for you for just getting an idea of what these things are all about.
Hope that helps some. Please let us know if you have any other questions.

  • Where can I find iweb templates with a gallery on the  home page so I can have events highlighted?

    any ideas of best place to look or examples of those they have this 'movement' on them?
    thanks

    Create a test site and try out different themes and layouts to see if any fit your needs.  Off hand I'm thinking an Album page might be what you're looking for. Each album would lead to a photo page of images.
    Or create your own. Start with a blank page, add photos for thumbnails and link them to other pages in the site that contain the info represented by that thumbnail.

  • Where can i find JDeveloper 9i with OAF

    Hi,
    i need JDeveloper with OAF.Could any one please suggest me the location where i can find it.
    I searched through this forums, but most of the links are not working.
    Thanks

    I have a similar requirement to get hold of JDeveloper 9i. I have a situation where I have a toplink deployment descriptor file for a legacy application that cannot be upgraded to later versions of toplink. I need to be able to produce new mappings within that descriptor file, but I have no tooling available to do so since both 10g and 11i tools crash when attempting to process the file, even though it runs successfulle in OAS/OC4J 10g.
    Please can you help? I particularly need the Toplink Workbench at 9i version (since the XML schema of the toplink deployment descriptor changed between 9i and 10g)

  • Where can I find 3D starter models to download

  • Can't even get started with airport extreme

    I have 2 windows vista computers on a Dlink router to a cable modem provided by my ISP. All of this is on the second floor of my house.
    I want to be able to play airtunes via airport express downstairs with my stereo speakers. I could never get airport express to do this alone so I went to a retail store and was told by the MAC salesman I needed an Airport Extreme.
    I tried connecting my airport extreme via ethernet cable to my router and got a flashing amber light. I followed the instructions but now airport utility will not even recognize the airport extreme not to mention that I haven't even been able to add the airport express.
    I basically need help from step 1 as well as an overview of how I will be doing this.
    Thanks

    Hello cturnerlewis. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
    To be able to stream via AirTunes to the AirPort Express Base Station (AX) downstairs the AX just need to join an existing wireless network. If you current D-Link router is wireless, then the AirPort Extreme Base Station (AEBS) was NOT necessary. However, I will assume that it is not.
    What you will want to do, in a nutshell, is the following two things:
    1. Set up a wireless network with the AEBS, and
    2. Configure the AX to join the AEBS's wireless network.
    Here are the basic steps for both ...
    Step 1: 802.11n AirPort Extreme Base Station Setup (AEBSn) w/Cable Modem
    Perform a "hard" reset of the AEBSn.
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=107451)
    Modem/Router Power ReCycling
    o Power-off the Cable modem, AEBSn, & computer(s); Wait at least 30 minutes.
    o Power-on the Cable modem; Wait at least 15 minutes.
    o Power-on the AEBSn; Wait at least 5 minutes.
    o Power-on the computer(s)
    Setup the AEBSn
    Either connect to the AEBSn's wireless network or, temporarily, connect your computer directly (using an Ethernet cable) to one of the LAN ports of the AEBSn, and then, using the AirPort Utility in Manual Mode, check these settings:
    AirPort - Base Station
    o Base Station Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Base Station Password: (optional)
    o Contact: (optional)
    o Location: (optional)
    o Set time automatically (optional)
    o Time Zone: <select your time zone>
    o Status Light: Always On (Default)
    o Allow configuration over Ethernet WAN port (unchecked)
    o Advertise configuration globally using Bonjour (unchecked)
    AirPort - Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Create a wireless network
    o Network Name: <whatever you wish or use the default>
    o Allow this network to be extended (unchecked)
    o Radio Mode: 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible)
    o Channel: Automatic
    o Wireless Security: None
    Internet - Internet Connection
    o Connect Using: Ethernet
    o Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    o IP Address: <provided by your ISP>
    o Subnet Mask: <provided by your ISP>
    o Router Address: <provided by your ISP>
    o DNS Server(s): <provided by your ISP>
    o Domain Name: <provided by your ISP>
    o DHCP Client ID: (optional)
    o Ethernet WAN Port: Automatic (Default)
    o Connection Sharing: Share a public IP address
    Once you have verified Internet access, I strongly suggest that you use wireless encryption (WPA or WPA2) to secure your network.
    Step 2: AirPort Express Base Station (AX) - AirTunes Setup
    Perform a "factory default" reset of the AX
    o (ref: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=108044)
    Either connect to the AX's wireless network or connect directly, using an Ethernet cable, to the Ethernet port of the AX, and then using the AirPort Utility in "Manual Setup" mode, make the following changes:
    AirPort > Wireless
    o Wireless Mode: Join a wireless network
    o Network Name: <existing AEBSn's wireless network>
    o Wireless Security: <select the encryption type of the existing wireless network>
    o Wireless Password: <enter the existing wireless network password>
    o Verify Password: <re-enter the existing wireless network password>
    Music
    o Enable AirTunes (checked)
    o iTunes Speaker Name: <enter desired speaker name>
    o iTunes Speaker Password: (optional)
    o Verify Password: (optional)
    o Click Update to write the new settings to the AX
    In iTunes:
    iTunes > Preferences... > Advanced > General
    o Look for remote speakers connected with AirTunes (checked)

    Well, let me put it this way: let's say you have a girlfriend and then you break up. The relationship is not there anymore, but this does not mean that you now ex-girlfriend has to be killed, right?
    From the GOS point of view Material and Note are two independent objects. You can create a relationship between them and then break that relationship, but the objects themselves are not going anywhere (at least from what I understand). This might sound counter-intuitive and wasteful, but, technically, it does make some sense.
    To delete the Note object you might want to use SO_OBJECT_DELETE FM, for example (although I've never used it, but the name implies that it actually deletes the objects). Also it is possible that there is some kind of a "garbage collector" program that goes and deletes "orphaned" objects, such as notes and attachments. Your Basis admin might know more.
    Another option would be to use material texts instead of the GOS notes.
    Hope this helps.

  • Where can I find a startup disk for Powermac 7600?

    When I tried to boot my powermac 7600 i received the '?' icon in the center of the screen.  So I thought I would try to boot from the startup disk.  Uh-Oh, I seem to have lost my startup disk to my powermac 7600.  Where can I find a start up disk?  Or is their another way around the issue?

    A Disk Tools PPC file can be found via Apple's Older Software Downloads list (http://www.info.apple.com/support/oldersoftwarelist.html).
    http://download.info.apple.com/Apple_Support_Area/Apple_Software_Updates/English -North_American/Macintosh/System/Mac_OS_8.1_Update/Disk_Tools_PPC.img.bin
    A floppy from the above file should work as a startup disk for your computer (it is intended for Mac OS 8.1 and Mac OS Extended, but it should at least allow you to boot the 7600). However, the problem is that you would have to locate someone with another old (pre-1998) Macintosh computer with Disk Copy 6.3.3 (the Make a Floppy command under the Utilities menu) in order to create the floppy.

  • Where can i find iweb

    We have been using iWeb for our family business for site development and maintenance. Lately, we bought new iMacs for our offices and we suddenly realized we cannot buy iWeb from apple anymore. It is nowhere to be found!!! Our site is useless now!!! Why? What happened. Where can i find the iWeb program? Please, help!

    First of all, thank you for your answer.
    Unfortunately, the iweb program was only installed on this one device which got stolen. We have backup discs of the site itself but nothing that contains any iweb (dmg) file, so as to transfer it to the other computers. As to the old installation disc - i believe it is long gone, so it cannot be done.
    I am sorry that my ignorance annoys you, but I cannot help you there. I visited this forum, searched it with "iWeb" as a key word and i landed here, so.......
    I understand i probably didn't do it right, but if i were a pro I probably wouldn't be needing your help now, would I?
    I'll do a search again through the forum, but meanwhile my question remains: "where can i find/get/buy/etc. iweb"?
    P.S. I tried to find it on the app store - i might have messed up there too - but it isn't there.

  • On my MacBook with Lion Safari does start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library did not help. Where can I find and remove all components (LastSession ...)?

    How can I reset Safari with all components? On my MacBook with Lion, Safari does not start, does not react immediately after trying to open it. Installing a new Safari does not help. Removing parts of Safari in the Library does not help. Where can I find and remove all components as LastSession and TopSites?

    The only way to reinstall Safari on a Mac running v10.7 Lion is to restore OS X using OS X Recovery
    Instead of restoring OS X in order to reinstall Safari, try troubleshooting extensions.
    From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
    If it's not an extensions issue, try troubleshooting third party plug-ins.
    Back to Safari > Preferences. This time select the Security tab. Deselect:  Allow plug-ins. Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
    If that made a difference, instructions for troubleshooting plugins here.
    If it's not an extension or plug-in issue, delete the cache.
    Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
    Type or copy paste the following
    ~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
    Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
    Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

    Is there a way to get a search protocol of the "Find my iPhone" search app and icloud ? And where can i find a protocol of the chat with a apple support worker

    Thanks for the reply however this does not help.  When I check the cloud it shows that I have only 20 photos.  In reality I had a lot more than that.  All the photos on the cloud are those that I have taken since I was at the Apple store.  When I check cloud storage usage on my phone it says that I have 5.1 GB of photos.  This is a lot more than the 20 that I can see.  I am not sure what the Apple employee did to my phone.
    Still looking for answers.  It is really too bad that I can not talk to an Apple person to get help since they messed up my phone.

  • Where do I find the interactive "Getting Started with Lion" video?

    Hello from England. 
    Please be nice to me and talk in a language an OAP might understand.
    I recently installed Lion on my MaBook.  I did this in my lunch hour at work and took a tad longer than I anticipated.  Anyway, after the shut down and re-start up popped an interactive "getting started with Lion" video which showed you all of the new touch gestures etc. 
    Anyway - as ym lunch hour was running out I closed my MacBook with the intention of watching this video later so I could learn all of the exciting and clever things. 
    Yes, you guessed it, throughout the day whilst I was busy, busy, busy working, not on a my mac ,but on my office PC (uk) the battery ran flat and I had to plug in and re-start again at home.
    Did the "getting started on Lion" video pop up again?  No.  And for the life of me I can't find it anywhere.  Not even trustworthy YouTube.
    Can anybody tell me how I make this appear again pretty please?
    First to reply gets a Scone and a Cup of Tea.
    Thank you
