Airport and Apple Script - on and off script

I've had this problem for a while, trying to turn the airport card in a computer on and off using and apple script. i need it to automatically turn on or off depending on which account if logging into the computer.
I did find that a solution can be found by writing an apple script to turn airport on and off. but my scripting skills aren't good and haven't worked thus far.
So now i'm asking everyone: Can anyone write a script to turn the airport on or off? I bet you can't. (there's some motivation for you)
I think it's my last resort, turning to other apple user and requesting help, because i have not been able to find another solution or a prewritten script (surprisingly)
Thanks very much for your help!
"i'll gladly pay you tuesday for a an apple script today."
thanks

I haven't used these tools so I don't know for sure, but doesn't Tiger's parental controls (in the Accounts preference pane) allow you to enable/disable network access by account? Would that work to solve your problem?
EDIT: OK, by starting a new thread I guess you got the same response that I posted for your previous thread. For those interested, this is a continuation of the thread kevin macky, "Account with and without airport internet access", 08:07am Oct 11, 2005 CDT.
If you are interested in trying to automate this, I suggest that you post your question in these areas:

Apple script to turn AirPort on/off?

Apple script to enable/disable dark menu bar and dock when sunsets/sunrises

Greetings,
Regarding the new dark menu bar and dock function in Yosemite. Would it be possible to write a script that would enable this function at a certain time say sunset and to disable it at another time say sunrise?
If so, is there anybody who could possibly help me write such a script or atlas point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance
G_D

Although you can set or remove the Dark interface style with defaults write syntax, the reset back to default (non-dark) interface will require a log-out/log-in cycle to entirely remove the Dark style. Toggling this style on and off in the System Preferences > General panel does not require the preceding log-out disruption. Unfortunately, other than possible GUI scripting, the Apple Script dictionary in Yosemite is very limited with respect to System Preferences access, and enabling/disabling the dark interface style.

Help creating apple script to create folder and set access levels

I'm trying to create folders in FileMaker Pro using apple script and need some help in setting the access level for the folders. I want to set both Staff and everyone to Read and Write access. Secondly I would like to have a function key set on the desktop to create new folders and set that same access level. The default access is Read and I can not find a way to change that.
Thanks

Apple script to batch rename files by deleting tags on front and back of the file name

Hi, I'm trying to rename a couple thousand files from their current format: "01074_Something Of A Dreamer_Mary-Chapin Carpenter.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "01075_Where Did We Go Right_Lacy J. Dalton.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "01076_Everybody's Reaching Out_Crystal Gayle.lrc"
                                                                                                     To simply: "Something Of A Dreamer.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "Where Did We Go Right.lrc"
                                                                                                                       "Everybody's Reaching Out.lrc"
I just want to delete the number tag on the front and the artist name at the end for all of the files. I imagine a Script to do this wouldn't be too hard to write, something along the lines of read file name after the first '_' character it reads until it reads a second '_' character and rename the file to the string it reads between those two underscores with .lrc at the end.
Unfortunately I know nothing about Apple Script other than it seems like the thing I would need to automate this process based on my limited google searches. If someone could help me out with some advice on how to go about making this script or obviously if you simply have and/or can quickly write a script to do this it would be greatly appreciated!

Here:
tell application "Finder"
repeat with this_file in (get files of window 1)
set the_name to name of this_file
set temp_name to items ((offset of "_" in the_name) + 1) thru -1 of the_name as string
set temp_name to (items 1 thru ((offset of "_" in temp_name) - 1) of temp_name as string) & items -4 thru -1 of the_name as string
set name of this_file to temp_name
end repeat
end tell

How do I install and apple script in mail

I am using dreamhost as my ISP. I am getting killed with spam and the have a script. I found out how to add the script via the rules function, but, how do you store the script in the location you need to retreive it from. there I can't find info. Can someone give me steps please? Do you make a text file, etc?

Select Mail Help from Mail's Help menu. Search for "install apple script."
Use scripts as rule actions
You can attach a script to a Mail rule. For example, you could have an incoming message trigger a script that copies information from the message and pastes it into a database that works with AppleScript.
Open Mail
Choose Mail > Preferences, then click Rules.
Add a rule or select an existing rule to edit.
Choose Run AppleScript from the “Perform the following actions” pop-up menu.
Choose a script from the pop-up menu of scripts that are located in ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail. Or choose “Open in Finder” to open the folder so you can copy a script into it.If you later move or rename the script, your rule will not work.
Click OK to save the rule.
If you used scripts in Mail rules in OS X Lion or earlier, then the first time you open Mail in OS X Mountain Lion or later, your scripts are moved to ~/Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail, and your rules are updated with the new location. To show your home Library folder, hold down the Option key, then in Finder choose Go > Library.
If you use iCloud Documents & Data, your rules are available on your other Mac computers (with OS X 10.8 or later) that have iCloud Documents & Data turned on. Scripts attached to rules aren’t available.

Every time i try to download a pdf program an apple script comes up and the download does not go through what is the problem and why can i not download?

I try downloading games and things but every time i do apple script comes up with an encrypted file. It has done this sense i bought this lap top. Please help me.

Okay, can you reply letting me know if the computer was purchased used?, this will help as it would identify the possibility that the prior owner did indeed create some sort of block.
Next, what you are speaking about blocks in regards to downloading 'PDF software'...is it PDF 'software' or PDF files that are blocked?, it appears that maybe it's the PDF files which are blocked at which case it indeed my be programmed into the system.
Please answer these and we can further assist you in reaching an answer. As for this list you have provided, I would need more than simple bullets....if you can provide the location of these 'bullets' and file extension...that would get the ball rolling.
Thanks

KeyNotes and Apple script / scripting Bridge

Hi
Sorry I am a recently started development in Mac OS, so may be this question is very simple for you guys
actually I am looking to manage Keynote application automatically from Mac Server application, I know apple script is available for lot of functionalities available in keynote but i want that all these things happend without showing anything on GUI , like i want to do all the automation on background without effecting the running GUI of keynote
if anybody can have idea how to do it in Apple script or using ScriptingBridge, I will really appriciate your help and support

depending on what you want to do, this may or may not be possible (most likely not). Applescript works by scripting other applications: some applications are set up do do background tasks, some applications are duplicated by osax or unix utilities that operate invisibly, but most often applescript has to open a document in the application and work on it through the application.
scripting bridge is for cocoa developers: it allows cocoa apps to script other apps. it's not really useful for you unless you want to develop specialized software.
more details would be helpful.

Apple script to locate and assign photos that do not belong to an album

Is there an Apple script to locate photos that do not belong to an album and assign them to one specific album where you can distribute them. I just finished using an apple script for iTunes that does that job and have been searching for an apple script to do the same.
Thanks For The Help
Dan

You can easily find photos that are not in any albums by using a Smart Album with the criteria:
Album is not Any
From there you'll have to manually drag them to their destination album.
However, once you move photos to another album you'll have to leave it and then go back to it to see the changes you've made. It doesn't automatically update changes while you're viewing it.

Apple script to find all image files on computer and put them into 1 folder

Is there any way to do this with apple script? Thanks

Hi glaurung,
Doing this with vanilla AppleScript and the Finder would take too long. There might be a way to do this with unix commands, but probably the best way to this would be to use the built in find for your system. I wouldn't search the whole computer. Maybe just search somewhere in your Home folder. Use a criteria like all files with extension jpg, tiff, tif, etc.. Then you can just drag the found files into whatever folder you want. You need to be cautious because you wouldn't want to move all files. For instance, you wouldn't want to move all pictures in your iPhoto library, other apps, or the System.

Need help writing and Apple Script

I've never written an apple script before so I need the entire tutorial for dummies. Basically, I am annoyed with the fact that Microsoft Word 08 keeps opening a new document at 100% zoom when I want it to open at "page width." How do I write a script for that?

You don't need an Applescript. Open the New Document template, resize as you like then save the template.
To learn Applescript start here. You will also find support at the Applescript site for developers. Your local book store or Amazon.com have dozens of books on Applescript programming.
Here's the main site for obtaining Applescripts.

Really? I need to check that out!
You should certainly be able to add content by reference to itunes from such a disk (even before the update) - so long as itunes knows the location of the file (set Preferences not to copy to local library when adding the media) it will stream it to AppleTV if the disk is available.
I hope you're right, but I'd be surprised if current Extremes can be upgarded to provide a full Home Sharing service - marvellous if they can but I'd be surprised as i've long said we need an Apple media server either based on TC or AE to do this kind of thing.

Airport and internet sharing turns off by itself

Hi everyone, I have an imac that I purchased earlier this year, and I use internet sharing to get internet for my ipod touch. Until a few months ago, this worked fine but now airport and internet sharing turn off every time I restart the computer and I have to turn both back on every time. Is anyone else experiencing this problem or know hot to fix it?

Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions...
Download and install the v10.5.8 combo update available here.
http://support.apple.com/downloads/MacOS_X_10_5_8_ComboUpdate
One of the "fixes" includes: - compatibility and reliability issues when joining AirPort networks.
After the installation, repair disk permissions.
Quit any open applications/programs. Launch Disk Utility. (Applications/Utilities) Select MacintoshHD in the panel on the left, select the FirstAid tab. Click: Repair Disk Permissions. When it's finished from the Menu Bar, Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac. If you see a long list of "messages" in the permissions window, it's ok. That can be ignored. As long as you see, "Permissions Repair Complete" when it's finished... you're done. Quit Disk Utility and restart your Mac.
