Any way to finish script in another app?
I'm working on a rather long script in InDesign and, at the end, I would need to create a page in illustrator using some of the parameters collected in InDesign during the run of my script.
Is there any simple way of doing this?
(Not sure if it is worth posting this a month later).
No. Environment variables are not passed from one process to another. They are only passed to child processes. So if you ran an app.doScript() of an applescript "do shell script 'whatever'", then environment vars will be inherited. Or perhaps if you "tell application System Events to open application 'Adobe Illustrator CS4'" or whatnot.
These are not reliable, though,since if Illustrator is already open, the Finder will just front the application that's running and it will not be restarted with a new environment.
The easiest way is writing the state to a file.
fancier is BridgeTalk.

I have 2 apple id's with different apps and data saved under each. It's very annoying so now I want to create a new id with my primary email address I use now. If I do that is there any way to transfer all my saved apps and app data like game saves etc so I don't lose all of that information and can easily switch to a singular apple id?
Apple does not transfer content bought with one Apple ID to another Apple ID. Apple will not merge two Apple IDs.
If most of your content was bought with the Yahoo! Apple ID but you now want the Gmail address for your Apple ID, the trick will be to change the address used for the Yahoo ID with the Gmail address. However, to do that you must first free the Gmail address from that other Apple ID. Use the instructions from Apple to substitute another address that is not used as an Apple ID for your Gmail address in the Apple ID with the Gmail address. Then, when the Gmail address is no longer used in an Apple ID, you can use the same instructions to substitute the Gmail address for the Yahoo address in the Apple ID with the Yahoo address.
Changing the email address you use for your Apple ID -

We had a MacBook Pro stolen from our home when we were out of town and I am pretty sure we never activated the LoJack type of function on it not sure if its called lojack but you get what I am saying is there any way we can activate such hardware/app now so we can possibly recover our laptop? Any one who can point us in the right direction that would be great and we would be very grateful. Thanks So MuchLojack for laptops - if that is the product you purchased and installed, you will need to read the user manual or contact the manufacturer as it is 3rd party. You did file a police report right?

I have just signed up for family sharing. Is there any way you can get the same app on two devices but not have to share it? My sons both want clash of clans but they don't want to be on the same village and they can't both be on app at the same time?
hi, the app is not "shared", it works as if you bought the app twice with different accounts, only you paid it once. they should have 2 different villages since they're on 2 different devices.

My iPhone 4 is chewing through power and data, is there any way to find out if an app is causing this?
call them, tell them you NEED a new battery installed, and they need to tell you when they can do it. That is their job to help you! Give pushback if necessary.

Hi there. My iPod Nano was stolen from my car today. I do know the serial number of this stolen device. Is there any way that Apple can block another user from connecting this stolen device to iTunes? Also, if another user was to attempt to connect this stolen device to iTunes, would Apple be able to inform of the username of this person in order that I could then pass this information to the police?

Hi. I bough iWork 09 and installed it on my MacBook Pro. When I launch the Mac App Store, it recognizes that Pages, Keynote and Numbers are all installed. Unfortunately, I've now lost the discs and I now want to install it on my Mac Pro. Is there any way to do this through the Mac App Store?
Thanks..No, only the version bought through the MAS is avaiable from the MAS for download to other Macs.

Is there any way to force purchase an unsupported app?
I'm currently stuck on OS X 1.7.5 since my MacBook Pro isn't compatible with anything more recent than that.
However, I'll be upgrading to a new Retina MacBook Pro very soon and I'd like to purchase an OS X app that requires 10.8, since it's currently heavily discounted.
Is there any way to force purchase it on my 10.7.5 system so that I'll be able to use it when I upgrade to a new Mac?
Thanks!No.

Any way for iPhone backup to save apps?
I wonder if there's any way to save my apps when i upgrade the iPhone software. The apps don't seem to be saved when i backup and then restore. Is there some aftermarket software for the iPhone that can do that? I'm running iTunes 9 and iPhone software 3.1
Thanks!PhoneView will do what you want, but it shouldn't be necessary. Every time I restore, I get my apps back.

Is there any way to download the full iTunes app on my iPad just like the one on my iMac?
The iTunes app on my iPad will not allow me to create wish lists nor does it have the my alerts or just added features. It is like an abbreviated version of iTunes. Is there any way to get the complete version like the one I have on my iMac?
No.
iTunes on the iPad is a store only and iTunes on a Mac is the media player as well as a storgae library for all of your purchased content.
The preinstalled apps cannot be deleted, redownloaded or updated either. Updates for the preinstalled apps come with the iOS updates. -
