Apple Script for deleting podcasts
I subscribe to a lot of podcasts, but I don't want to keep them in my iTunes library after I'm done listening to them. Is there an Apple Script for automatically deleting podcasts? Thanks.
Thanks - once I'm in Automator and select Music, I don't see any options for finding Podcasts. Any suggestions which item/step I should select next in Automator? Thanks.

Apple script for Message box when Mail app Compose Window Opens
Hi there
I'm trying to make mail app remind me to choose the right emaill address to send from since I have several email addresses. Is there a way I can make or write an apple script for a message box to pop up whenever mail app's compose window opens up.
I can do for the case when I actally click the compose button when I'm on mail app by using UI scripting. But when it comes to hyperlinks which opens up the compose window, it fails.
I just want a script to see whether the compose window is open and if open pop up a message box.
Thanks
Best regards

I think yes. The encoding is being corrupted somewhere, probably Exchange. There is nothing you can change on the iPad other than the OS languagel, to see if that helps. You can also tell Apple at

Apple Script For Opening External EML File With Apple Mail
Hi folks,
I am working with Apple Script for implementing numerous function related to Mail App.
I am using the following Apple Script lines for opening the mails which are in Mail app for each modes.
View Mode : open theMsg
Reply View Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes
Reply All Mode : reply theMsg opening window yes reply to all yes
Forward Mode : forward theMsg opening window yes
I want to know how we can open external eml file in different view modes (View, Reply, Reply All and Forward) using Apple Script or Apple Event programmatically with a similar mechanism available through script in Mail App.
Thanks in advance. Regards
NisarI'm not sure what you're doing here, but this isn't anything I recognize as compilable applescript. what is this 'mode' thing you're talking about.
at any rate, if you have a loose emlx file sitting around somewhere you can simply open it in mail (use the 'open' command and the file specification for the emlx file) and work with it appropriately. if you're talking about an actual eml file (e.g. from Outlook Express) you'd have to GUI script Mail's 'import mailbox' command (the applescript handler for importing mail only works with Mail.app mailboxes) -
Apple Script to delete old emails automatically
I couldn't figure out a way to automatically delete emails in one specific folder, based upon how old they were. I only wanted to keep them up to 15 days old. I have my security cam's motion alerts clips sent directly to a specific email folder. It is saved on mac server for safety. I searched all over and finally found http://applescripts.thompson-solutions.com/applescript.php?id=40
This apple script is awesome! It lets you pick how old you want to delete, and what folder.
This guy will get you any script you need, and they are great to deal with.Account information is kept in NetInfo, a complex system database. If you just delete a home folder the account will still exist, and a new home folder will be created the next time a user logs into it.

In FCP you can scrub though a video in the viewer by 1 second intervals by holding shift + arrow key (left=back, right=forward). I really like this shortcut.
Anyone have any script for QT to make it do the same thing?
Apple should add it on the next version. It will be super helpful and better integrated with FCP.
BlakeYes, but in FCP when you hit shift+arrow every time you hit the arrow it scrubs either 1 second forward or 1 backward. This is very helpful if I know I want a clip to start at and exact point and go for exactly 5 (6,9,25) seconds. I have to do this a lot in my work. In QuickTime it just moves you frame by frame, which is perfect for certain situations but I would really like to be able to do what I can do in FCP also.

Apple Scripting for Microsfot Power Point 2011
Hi,
I am having problem with following apple script. This is working fine with Office 2004 but when i am using office 2011 then on action is changing to «class BCOa». Can any one please help me in this. I will be very thankful
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
set btnAbout to make new command bar control at command bar ¬
"CPS" with properties {control type:control button, button style:button caption}
-- Set button style in "with properties" block
set width of btnAbout to 60
set name of btnAbout to "About"
set *on action* of btnAbout to "cpsHandleAbout"
set tooltip text of btnAbout to "About CPS for PowerPoint"
end tellHm, not sure if this helps, but perhaps... first create this command button by hand...
then run
tell application "Microsoft PowerPoint"
get properties of command bar control "About" of command bar "CPS"
end tell
this returns the properties of this button...
something like:
{class:command bar button, begin group:false, built in:true, name:"About", description text:"", enabled:true, height:22, help context ID: 0, help file:"", id:2520, entry_index:1, left position:674, parameter:"", priority:3, tag:"", tooltip text:"&About", top:324, control type:control button, visible:true, width:28, button face is default:false, face id:23, button state:button state up, button style:button automatic}
If the button uses a build in command you will get to know the id of this command...
e.g. the ID is 23 (open file)
make new command bar control at command bar ¬
"CPS" with properties {id:23}
and this would create such a new button...
But I am not sure who to get a list of all action ids... -
Can anyone make an Apple Script for me?
I'm looking for an Apple Script so that when I press cmd+F1 on my Macbook Pro Retina it turns the brightness to 0 instantly. Rather than having to hold F1 down to make the brightness go down to 0.
Is this something that is even possible?
Thank YouThere is evidently no direct way to do this, but there is an indirect way:
Download an app called SleepDisplay: Download SleepDisplay for Mac - Put your display to sleep instantly. MacUpdate.com
put SleepDisplay in your Applications folder
open Automator.
Select service for type of document
at the top, for service receives, select no input, and after in, any application
in the column on the left, select Utilities
in the next column, drag Launch Application over to the right, and select SleepDisplay for the app
close the window with the red circle in the left upper corner, and give the service a name, like Dark.
go to system preferences > keyboard > shortcuts
select services in the box on the left, and scroll down in the box on the right until you find the service you just created. select that service.
when you select it, a white oval should appear that says "add shortcut". Type in the shortcut you want to use. I couldn't get ⌘F1 to work, but control-option-⌘-D did work. It must be a unique shortcut, not already in use. -

Apple script for 10.4 - works in OSX but not older
Hi I have a script which I'm using on my current system 10.9 it runs in excel and it goes something like this:
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
-- put the complete set of data into a list of lists (i.e., 2 dimensions -> columns of rows)
tell active sheet to set myData to value of used range
-- recipient email
set myRow1 to 1
set myCol1 to 1
set Address to item {myCol1} of item {myRow1} of myData
-- recipient name
set myCol4 to 4
set rName to item {myCol4} of item {myRow1} of myData
The above is just a small snippet from the script. However I try running this on apple 10.4 apple script and it does not work. I'm trying to save my computer time from have to this minimal task on an older mac I have but I'm experiencing some problems. Does the active sheet not work in apple mac 10.4? What am I missing? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Hi Ohms238,
I found this Apple developer page that talks about changes made in each version of OSX. It will require some work, but you can go through and see what changes are relevant to your script.
But I would actually recommend running pieces of your code separately to see exactly what parts don't work and then rewrite just those portions. -

Script for deleting objects on pasteboard
Anyone have a script that deletes all objects and text outside the page (or margins)?

end if
Add in a few lines of code to this file and see what happens.
add the on run, this would be clearer. It is the default on unit to run.
on run
set theHours to hours of the (current date)
if theHours > 18 then
say "good evening sir"
else if theHours > 12 then
say "good afternoon sir"
else if theHours > 6 then
say "good Morning sir"
else if theHours > 0 then
say "get out of bed sir!"
end if
end run
Now, it is time for debugging.
It is easier to diagnose problems with debug information. I suggest adding log statements to your script to see what is going on. Here is an example.
Author: rccharles
For testing, run in the Script Editor.
1) Click on the Event Log tab to see the output from the log statement
2) Click on Run
on run
-- Write a message into the event log.
log " --- Starting on " & ((current date) as string) & " --- "
-- debug lines
set desktopPath to (path to desktop) as string
log "desktopPath = " & desktopPath
end run
