Apple Script Editor no longer available

Since updating to OS X 10.4.5 the AppleScript folder has been left empty in the Applications folder so consequently it is no longer possible to use AppleScript Editor. I did try to locate the AppleScript Editor app in the hard disk to no avail. Any suggestions or hints as to what might have happened would be appreciated. Thanks
This is a follow up to the AppleScript Editor problem some people have experienced since the last Mac OS X update. More details available here: http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=1988758#1988758 .

Hi, dott.
I uprgaded to 10.4.5 weeks ago: no problems with the contents of the Macintosh HD > Applications > AppleScript folder's contents.
When files go missing unexpectedly, this can indicate disk directory corruption. I suggest you begin troubleshooting using the process specified in my "Resolving Disk, Permission, and Cache Corruption" FAQ. Perform the steps therein in the order specified.
Good luck!

Links to launch Script Editor no longer work

Links to launch Script Editor no longer work.

I don't know, I just use a very simple Applescript to enclose the clipboard in tags that allow the user to launch Script Editor from the browser:
set the clipboard to "<a href=applescript://com.apple.scripteditor?action=new>Click here to launch Script Editor</a>.
<pre class=COMMAND>" & return & (the clipboard) & return & "</pre>"
And it wraps the script on the clipboard on PRE tags so the structure is preserved. Neither of those work now.

My purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device.

I'm not sure what I've done but my purchases from Apple TV are no longer available on the device. They can only be found on Itunes under 'library/tv shows' and 'apple tv/tv shows'. How can I transfer the shows back onto my Apple TV and then erase the files from itunes? Once accomplished, how can I prevent my Apple TV purchses from syncing with my itunes (to save space on itunes, I prefer not to sync purchases from apple tv).
Thank you in advance for any advice!

Welcome to the Apple community.
You haven't done anything wrong, this is the way it is supposed to work. You cannot sync the content back to the Apple TV and then erase it from iTunes because the Apple TV mirrors iTunes, and if it is deleted from iTunes it will also then get deleted from the Apple TV.
You might also see this, however I strongly recommend against it.

Apple Script Editor

Hi Everyone,
I was just wondering that if I have created a script using Apple script recorder button and it does what I have wanted. Now I was just wandering that how would I save it so that when I click on it, script will run and do what it suppose to do?
Thanks,

Hi Colin,
Thanks for your reply. I was able to record some of the action and when I have tried to execute that using apple script editor and it works fine. But once I saved that script using .scpt extension and then tried to click on it then it just opened the script editor but did not run without click execute. Do you know why?
Thanks,

Lost my apple script editor

During a recent reinstallation of my OS, I transferred some of the contents of the previous system folder to the new folder. Inadvertently I erased the folder for the apple script editor with an empty folder; does anyone know how I can get that single folder/application without reinstalling everything? I asked a friend to attach his scripteditor to an email to me, but he was unable to do that. Thanks for suggestions.

I found the answer: http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/6812 Pacifist, a shareware application
(developer:mailto:[email protected]) that allows you to extract one item from an installation disk.

ICloud and Apple ID info no longer available on iPod Touch

I have been using iCloud to back up my iPod for the last couple of months. Suddenly in the last couple of days under Settings on my iPod Touch 4th gen. iCloud is no longer available (visible but greyed out), and under Settings/iTunes my Apple ID: ... is greyed out and I can't access the information. This happened after I set up a second computer at home to access iTunes and download music etc. Can anyone tell me why and how to fix this?

You're wonderful! I changed it from Don't Allow to Allow and iCloud and Apple ID info are now available again. Had checked in here myself but didn't realise that this was the problem. Thanks!

Apple Script Editor | Background Process | Question

Hi,
I recently found this chat site called www /dot/ omegle /dot/ com (The service randomly pairs users in one-on-one chat sessions where they chat anonymously using the handles "You" and "Stranger".) - and i was wondering how i could create a copy and paste routine to run in the background on safari while i do other stuff on Google Chrome or whatever.
Here is an example of my script so far:
repeat 10000 times
delay 4
          tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
          delay 0.1
          tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
delay 1
          tell application "System Events" to keystroke (key code 53)
          delay 0.5
          tell application "System Events" to keystroke (key code 53)
          delay 0.5
          tell application "AppleScript Editor" to activate
          tell application "System Events"
key down {command}
keystroke (key code 14)
key up {command}
          end tell
          tell application "System Events"
keystroke "r" using {command down}
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke "r" using {command down}
                              tell application "Safari" to activate
                    end tell
delay 3
                    tell application "System Events" to keystroke (key code 53)
delay 4
                    tell application "System Events" to keystroke "v" using command down
                    delay 0.1
                    tell application "System Events" to keystroke return
delay 1
                    tell application "System Events" to keystroke (key code 53)
                    delay 0.5
                    tell application "System Events" to keystroke (key code 53)
                    delay 0.5
                    tell application "AppleScript Editor" to activate
                    tell application "System Events"
key down {command}
keystroke (key code 14)
key up {command}
                    end tell
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke "r" using {command down}
                              tell application "System Events"
keystroke "r" using {command down}
                                        tell application "Safari" to activate
                              end tell
                              delay 3
                              tell application "System Events" to keystroke (key code 53)
                    end tell
                    delay 0.1

Apple Script Editor, "Expected end of line but found identifier" Error

Hello, I'm trying to automate an Application I have, called Self Control, since I have ADD and easily get distracted, and what I want to do is for my computer to automatically set the application up, but to do this, I need a script, which I have already done, but get this error, can someone help me fix this script?
(the error happens once I click on "run", it tells me as follows: "Syntax Error", followed by, "Expected end of line but found identifier".
on run argv
set defaultTime to 1440
try
set myTime to item 1 of argv as number
on error
set myTime to defaultTime
end try
tell application "Usable Keychain Scripting"
tell current keychain
   set myPass to (password of first generic item ¬
    whose name contains "SelfControl")
   -- eliminate invisible characters, or "gremlins," from password
   set x to quoted form of myPass
   set myPass to do shell script "echo " & x & " | perl -pe 's/[^[:print:]]//g'"
end tell
end tell
tell application "SelfControl" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "SelfControl"
   tell slider of window "SelfControl" to set value to myTime
   click button "Start" of window "SelfControl"
end tell
tell window 1 of process "SecurityAgent"
   with timeout of 15 seconds
    repeat
     set tryAgain to false
     try
      set value of text field 2 of scroll area 1 of group 1 to myPass
     on error
      delay 1
      set tryAgain to true
     end try
     if not tryAgain then exit repeat
    end repeat
    click button 2 of group 2
   end timeout
end tell
end tell
end run
I'm no coding expert, but your help would be greatly appreciated. I know that once the script is done I can automate it with Calendar, or even Quicksilver, I just need help with the script.
Thanks in advance!

This is a pain with Applescript.
Could be a missing " or ' . I didn't notice this problem.

Your apple id is no longer available for this device

i cant able to access my apple id on my particular device but i can use the same id on my other apple device and its working in other device but not in my device. i cant able to update and download apps from apps store.

Hey nidheyfromsurat,
If your iPhone has been associated with a different Apple ID recently, you must wait for 90 days from when it was changed before you can associate it with your Apple ID. See this article for reference -
iTunes Store: Associating a device or computer to your Apple ID - Apple Support
Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,

CS5clean script, Windows installer cleanup utility no longer available from Microsoft. What now?

Since the Windows Installer cleanup script is no longer available from Microsoft because (while it) "...resolved some installation problems, it sometimes damaged other components installed on the computer. Because of this, the tool has been removed from the Microsoft Download Center"
So my installation of CS4Master collection is broken and I have no way of removing it. Thanks Adobe.
It alyways amazes me the need to make applications so reliant on inner workings the OS, at such a complex level, to simply run.
Either way, Im stuck
Please help!

Apple scrip editor -formula

Apple script 2.2
The apple script editor will not allow this function to be written, =SUMIF(range,criteria,sum_range)
when the criteria is a text word enclosed in double " ". The editor comes up with an error.
If you delete the double " " in apple script editor and run the script in mircosoft Excel, the function
appears as written. But you must go to each cell and double " " the text word of the function before
you get a result from the function.
In earlier versions of applescript you could enclose the text word with "" "" and make it work
Is there some way around this problem ?

I assume you're trying to set the formula of an excel cell using applescript? if you have a text string that has literal quotes in it, you need to escape them with a backslash. e.g.
set aPhrase to "This is a \"phrase\" with \"literal quotes\""
see how that works?

Since you're using Mail, you might be able to have Mail do it.
You can set up a rule in Mail in its preferences to match an email with unique characteristics, such as certain content or a certain subject exactly. You might want to add a few conditions and "match all" to make sure you don't accidentally match something else.
Anyways, you choose to have the rule run an AppleScript. I haven't tested it by referencing an Automator workflow, but it might work. You might try a quick test first with a simple workflow.
You'd have to be logged in and have Mail automatically check for email, perhaps every minute or every five minutes. If you don't want to be logged in, likely you'll need to use a web page, like you suggested. I'm not sure what you need to do for that to work.

HT1918 How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another? My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

How can I transfer albums from one of my accounts to another? My new account (Apple ID) email address is no longer available to me since I lost my job.

OK, now I have another problem. I typed in my email address wrong. Instead of optonline.net I typed in optimum.net. Though I can google my email address and it defaults to the optonline.net the email to confirm the change is not showing up. I know, real stupid. Now I cannot log onto either address as the original is not changed and the email has not showed so am I done here? I appreciate your help!!! Carl

How do I turn off Find My iPhone when the Apple ID (email) is no longer available and I don't know the password?
