Access for assistive devices is disabled number -25211

Guys, my checkbox is checked, but my AppleScript still returns this error:
error "System Events got an error: Access for assistive devices is disabled." number -25211
How to fix it? Thanks!

It sounds like you were running a second display in extended desktop mode.
If the adapter and/or cable for the second monitor is still attached, it can fool the Mac into believing the second monitor is still present. Detaching that cable/adaptr and then restarting should fix it.
You can also try going to System Preferences > Monitors and change the setup from extended mode to mirror mode.

Using AppleScript to click menu items without access for assistive devices?

Hi all,
Is it possible to have AppleScript 'click' menu items without having 'Enable access for assistive devices' enabled?
My script works fine with it on but with it off I just get this:
'System Events got an error: Access for assistive devices is disabled.'
Pretty clear and easy to fix. I don't really want assistive devices enabled, though ...
Any ideas or is this just not possible?
Sorry if this is a n00b question - I'm kinda new to the world of Mac and OS X ...
Thanks!

Ok cool - thanks for the reply.
I've figured out how to set the bounds of the window I'm talking about:
tell application "Transmit" to set bounds of window "Transcript" to {61, 1166, 2559, 1421}
I'll have a hack and see if I can figure out how to open the Transcript window without needing assistive devices enabled.
Thanks again!

Automator Watch Me Do gets stuck on "Enable Access for Assistive Devices

I built a simple Automator Watch Me Do Work Flow that simply pastes text I have already copied into Text Edit and then sets the Font, Size, Color and Make All Caps function. Every time I run the script it stops and gives me the following error "Enable Access for Assistive Devices". I have gone into System Preferences/ Universal Access a number of times and confirmed the check box is selected, I even unselected the check and ran the Auotmator script and went back and reselected the check box, I even rebooted my machine, I tired this on another Mac same problem. I must be missing something, can anyone help me out?

Boot into recovery mode and reinstall the OS. You don't need to get it from the App Store.

"Enable Access for Assistive Devices" is missing from Yosemite and my QuicKeys program depends on this to work. Help!

This is my second day trying to get my QuicKeys application to work in Yosemite, but "Enable Access for Assistive Devices," which QuicKeys needs to work, is missing from Yosemite. I have gone through the entire System Preferences panel (Security and Privacy, Accessibility, Keyboard, etc.) without success - it's just not there. I have checked this app in the Privacy pane and dragged
"QuicKeysUserEventHelper" out of the QuicKeys Resources folder into the Applications folder so it could "appear" in the Privacy pane, and then checked it there. Is there any way to enable access for assistive devices - a Terminal command, perhaps?
QuicKeys is my most used program, which I have had since its inception at least 10 years ago! Help!

Thank you for your reply! I did everything that Startly recommended (actually, gb2), and when I dragged the QuicKeys Helper into the Privacy box. I didn't see it, but after I quit and restarted QuicKeys, it worked! However,I had first dragged the QuicKeys app to the trash, emptied it, then restarted. Next, I redownloaded QuicKeys from Startly and THEN I went to gb2's directions. All together, my QuicKeys now works on my MacBook Air. BUT NOW, I keep getting the warning that says that this version and activation code are already in use by another user! I am also getting those warnings on my Mac Pro - which had the same problem yesterday (QuicKeys not working), until I heard back from a Technical Advisor from Startly, who told me about trashing the app and redownloading from their site. Last night, that version of QuicKeys worked WITHOUT my having to drag the QuicKeys Helper app into the Privacy pane. Perhaps it is there, but invisible - the helper app is not visible on either of my computers' Privacy panes.
OK, NOW WHAT DO I DO? Every 20 seconds or so, I'm getting those annoying warning signs (on BOTH computers) and requests to put in my activation key, and then told that it is being used by another user!!!
AM I EVER GOING TO BE ABLE TO USE MY 2 LICENSES FOR MY 2 QUICKEYS PROGRAMS???

Enable access for assistive devices in Mavericks-how?

How is "access for assistive devices" enabled in OS 10.9.3? I've looked for it just about everywhere in System Preferences. A third-party utility that I use needs it to work fully—and says at startup that it is not switched on.

Hope this helps!

HT6026 Can't add app to "Enable access for assistive devices and applications" list

I'm trying to add "Alfred 2" and "ImageOptim" to the list of apps that have their access enabled, but when I drag these apps in to the list nothing happens. (This is after I have unlocked the tab to enable changes).
Any idea on how to add these apps?

By access enabled do you mean to allow incoming connections for those two apps? If so then you can add them in the System/Security & Privacy/Firewall Options pane:

How do I switch on access to assistive devices in OS X Mavericks?

A couple of days ago I installed OS X Mavericks. Now when I try to open my ABBYY Lingvo App, the system says "Access for assistive devices is disabled:
To be able to use the quick lookup feature, you must enable access for assistive devices in the Universal Access panel. Open the System Preferences window where you can enable access for assistive devices?"
I open System Preferences, click "Security & Privacy", choose "Privacy", find "Accessibility" on the list, it says "allow the apps below to control your computer". In my case there are only 2 apps there: "Google software update" and "Skype". I can tick them, but that doesn't solve my problem, obviously.
So, how do I enable access for my ABBYY Lingvo?! Ideas anyone?

Hi!
Try this way!
Lingvo -/ Settings -/ Translate tab - There u will be requested to launch module for quick lookup translate in finder,
click it, then u will see <Lingvo Pop-Up Translation> .app in finder, launch it, and pop-up translation will work like before in os x 10.8.
I hope this will work for u!
GL!

No internet access for vlan devices

Hey folks,
I'm new to cisco and have only recently started study for my ccna. In preperation for this i've gotten my hands on a cisco emi 3550-48 port switch so i can play and test some scenario's.
Now, I've setup a couple of vlans (200,201 and 202) and i've assigned them to fa0/3, 0/5 a0/7 respectively. i suppose it's irrelevant which ports are assign, they are just the ports i've assigned while typing this.
I know the cisco forums are full of people saying the intervlan routing isnt working and it just turns out to be the static route on the router in the end but i have set all that up and i can not get internet access on my vlan networks. The wierd thing is the switch itself can ping the internet no problem.
Here is my setup :
I've assigned ip addresses as follows :
vlan 200 - 10.10.200.254/24
vlan 201 - 10.10.201.254/24
vlan 202 - 10.10.202.254/24
I then enabled intervlan routing by issueing "IP ROUTING"
At this point I configured the VDSL modem/router (zyxel F1000) on IP Address 192.168.1.2/30 and I configured interface fa0/1 with the following commands :
interface fa0/1
no switchport
ip address 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.252
no shutdown
I then set the default route using :
ip route 0.0.0.0 0.0.0.0 192.168.1.2
Finally I configured three static route's on my Zyxel F1000 modem/router to send traffic back to my three vlans using the gateway 192.168.1.1
As i said above, If I plug into fa 0/3 (vlan 200) and lets say I give myself an ip address of 10.10.200.20, 255.255.255.0 and gateway 10.10.200.254. I can ping the othe vlns and devices on the other vlans no problem but bot for love nor money can i get onto the internet. For clarifications sake my dns is set to 8.8.8.8
Stranger still is the fact that the switch can ping hostnames and ips on the internet no problem. Has anyone got any ideas what could possibly be wrong?? I'm completely stumped.
Regards,
Thomas Quigley

Hey guys,
Thanks for the speedy replies. I have been trying this for about 2 weeks now and last night after posting this message to the cisco forums I got my hands on an old Sonicwall router. I decided to test the connection using this as I suspected that Zyxel router is buggy.
I setup a PPPoE connection on the sonicwall and set that up as my default route matching exactly the ip settings listed above and it worked immediately.
I knew the setup I had ran above was right it was just tormenting me that it wouldn't work. Turns out its the piece of crap Zyxek VDSL modem.
Thanks for taking the time to read my post and offer advice.
Cheers,
TQ

ISE - Guest - permanent access for specific device

Hello,
In brief: I'm using ISE 1.2, 5508 wlc and few 3702-I APs - brodcasting 2 SSIDs: Internal and Guest (Internet olny). Guest SSID forces user to provide username and password through guest portal.
Is there any way to configure some policy on ISE to allow specified mobile device(s) (filtering by IMEI or MAC address) access to Internet via Guest network without necessity of provide username and password? An exception that is avoiding guestportal and/or permanent remember that particular device.

Hey kkoziarski,
It sounds like you are looking for the functionality of that known as Web Passthrough. Where the device can just view some TOC and possibly be presented with a Guest AUP. This is something that is doable with a Standalone WLC, as I am sure you know.
Funny thing is that I was coming here to post something along the same lines. I've spent the past week researching and trying some configs on both ISE 1.2 and ISE 1.3. It appears that the final answer is no. This wouldn't be performing any authentication and neither would it be applying any permissions to the device/user, which at that point - it wouldn't be utilizing any of the functionality of ISE.
What I have found is that there are 2 methods that can offer a similar experience, but will not be a true Webb Passthrough, and it will not be easily configurable.
1. Creating a customized HTML page for the WebAuth AUP, that would then have the username and password embedded in the code, and more than likely need to be linked to the Submit button or something of that nature.
2. Utilizing ISE policies on a per-WLAN basis and including specific attributes, which would then have to communicate with the above custom HTML page.
Any other users out there, please feel free to correct me if I am wrong! I wonder if they will ever come out with a feature as such :/

Best practice procedure for wrong device's serial number

Hi all. In SAP IS-U it isn't possible to change the serial number of a device, as stated in SAP KB note 1620789. This note only implies that wrong device should just be deleted, but in our business scenario it is not that easy.
We are finding some meters that have been read for a long time and its serial number in the system is incorrect, so, in order to correct that situation we have to create a new device, losing history information.
My question, Does anyone knows of any tool, procedure or whatever that may help to solve this issue with the minimum impact in the system and in the customer reading and consumption history?
Thanks a lot for any help.
Regards,
Daniel Valenzuela

That field is set to 0 by default. You can change it, see page 95 and 99 of the manual:

ISE version 1.0 - Unable to get management access for cisco devices

Hi All,
I want to manage all cisco devices with read and write privilege with ISE 1.0.
Is this functionality is available in this version?
I configured the 2960 switch. On switch redius test is successful. When I telnet to the switch, it ask for username and password. But message is authorization fail. But on ISE shows authentication is successful.
Is it configuration issue or this feature is not available in this version?
Regards,
Hanumant

Hanumant,
You will have to create an authorization profile to send back the privilege level for the user:
Here is the attribute (cisco-av-pair) you will have to send back:
shell:priv-lvl=xx

E3000 Scheduled Access for Kids Devices - both times in same afternoon ?

Hi, I am running an E3000 with Firmware - 1.0.04.
I would like to schedule my boys ipods to be on the network from 2:00pm to 4:00pm each day.
Running the Cisco connect software it would appear I can schedule from 2pm until the next morning but not a 2 hour window in the same afternoon.
Looking through other posts I see earlier software where this can maintained through the Router firmware but with 1.0.04 I seem to have to use Cisco Connect.
So how can this be done with my current configuration ?
Thanks Graeme
Solved!
Go to Solution.

You cannot schedule your router from 2:00 pm to 04:00 pm using cisco connect. I agree to what richard804 said above however you can also get into the setup page of the router through cisco connect. After opening cisco connect application you need to click on the tab that says 'Router Settings' and under that you will see an option that says 'Advance settings'. Click on it to get into the setup page of the router and there click on the tab that says 'Access Restriction' and from there you can apply the internet policy. Click on the following link which shows how to apply internet access policy on the router http://www6.nohold.net/Cisco2/ukp.aspx?vw=1&docid=20b29e54474a4a17aff594cb659747ea_4041.xml&pid=80&r...

Accesssing the device's phone number

I'd like to know if anyone found a way to access programatically the device's phone number.
It's done in the Phone application so I guess it is possible, although I'm not sure it is accessible through the public APIs.
I've looked through the forums and people seem to think it's not possible, but it would be nice if someone from apple could confirm this.

You need to use the ABAddressBook functions to access the anything from the address book. Search the documentation for reference info and guides.
As far as I know there is no way to determine the phone number of the iPhone.

Can I turn off access to individual devices?

I have an airport extreme and am wondering if I can control access to individual devices (iPad, iPhone, iPod touch). The perfect scenario, would be for me to turn off wireless access to my kids devices from 9pm until 7am during the school week. Probably just wishful thinking, but thought I would ask the community.

The Timed Access feature in AirPort Utility for the AirPort Extreme will allow you to set up individual rules for each wireless device that you want to control.
For example, a simple way to do this would be to allow allow Internet access for the devices that you specify........
Weekdays.......Between.....7 AM and 9 PM
Saturday.........Between......7 AM and 11 PM, (or up to 11:59 PM)
Sunday...........Between......7 AM and 9 PM
The devices that you specify will only be able to connect to the network during the times that you set. That won't keep them from using 3G though, if they have it on their iPhones or iPads.
