Applescript action attaching to a disk when it mounts not working

I have a script to open a file that is on a disk image.  the script should open the file when the image mounts.  it used to under 10.6 but since upgrading to 10.8 it does not.
The script is attached to 'Volumes' and I attached it also to the disk image.  however nothing happens.  if I manually run the script it works fine.
has anything changed in 10.8? 

If they are still enabled, folder actions work the same - you might try adding some error statements with logs or dialogs to see if there is another error that is stopping the action.

  • How to clone Boot Camp partition when Winclone does not work

    The hard drive in my MacBook Pro is failing. It has 2 partions, one for Apple and the other is a Bootcamp with Windows 7.
    I tried repairing it with Disk Utility, which did not work. I also ran DiskWarrior, which resulted in the error message: "Directory cannot be rebuilt due to disk hardware failure". I was able to copy my Apple files through DiskWarrior although there were a couple of errors.
    My question is how to clone my Bootcamp Partition. I tried making an image with Disk Utility but it failed. I also tried using Winclone and it failed indicating there were hard drive issues.
    Is there another way to try to copy the Bootcamp partition? I can boot to Apple so running a program/app or trying UNIX commands might work.
    Thank you in advance.

    Some previous forum comments I have collected regarding backup of BootCamp.
    Acronis 2011 w/ plus pak, didn't work well previously
    Ghost 15 - probably not
    Casper 6 works for Windows on Boot Camp only
    CopyCatX is more lengthy and sector copy so takes the longest.
    Paragon Hard Drive Suite 2011 because it works great and they have CampTune
    Windows 7 system backup and restore - Apple's goofy HFS read-only interferes with system and file backup.
    I have also used Casper, Clonezilla and Paragon but less regularly, Casper failed a few times, I stopped using it, Clonezilla worked but took forever (for me) Paragon (which I have only used twice) was the best but my sample is limited.
    I have restored from DU, CCC, SuperDuper and TM, they all worked, TM was slower but not a lot, you can boot from the others, which I prefer.
    Paragon HDM 2011 can do either offline or online backups, the difference is that with an offline backup, the entire partition (or disk) is unallocated. In an online backup, the backup utility is running against a partition that may be making changes to itself. When you run CCC or SD! in OS X, you're running an online backup. However, I would recommend (at least for the first backup) that you boot from the HDM recovery CD to do an offline backup. This will ensure that you have an *exact* copy of the parition/disk.
    I tried the native Windows backup utility.  It worked to backup and restore my Windows partition, but I noticed a "bad" side effect.  When I would restore a Windows Backup to my HD, it would corrupt my MacOS boot partition, so I would then have to restore the Mac partition as well.
    Winclone allows you to migrate your Bootcamp partition from one Mac to another Mac and make sure Windows will boot. However, if the processor (for example, Core Duo or i7) is a different type, the restored version of Windows may not be supported or be able to run on the new Mac. If you are migrating between Macs that are the same type (MacBook Air to MacBook Air, for example), you will have the greatest chance of success. You can try to restore Winclone images between different types of Macs (for example, a Mac Pro to a Mac Mini), but be aware that if Windows boots but does not reach the desktop, it is probably not an issue with Winclone, but rather the change in processor type.

  • Playbook requires me to pay for support when it did not work from the beginning and they could not fix.

    lack of email app- makes this may purchase virtually useless. because
    cant bridge with my bb 9700. maybe twice after deleting from both, and rebridging, i got connections. i cant spend an hour bridging every time. since may this is unfixable. the support people cant fix it after dozens of hours. got lots.of emails from them though. asking if i was resolved. when i answered no, they asked me to do it all again. they have no fix for this.
    can type documents, but cant email them to anybody. same with excel. no way to attach documents when the bridge doesnt work.
    i am a ceo,and i am moving my entire organization off bb becuase of this.
    have spent many many hours from the beginning in may, and now they want me to pay a 129 dollar fee to get support when it has not worked right from the beginning.
    i bought an ipad today and i am absolutely blown away by how much better it is in every single way. dozens of bbs are going away now.
    slow, no.email, locks up all the time, stand by button restarts tablet, no bridging without total reload on both devices. why would i go through this anymore? it is costing my business a fortune with myself and my people trying to make the playbook work.
    we will get ipads and make more money.
    i have tried to stay loyal to bb, but after being told i have to pay for support
    when i did once get a connection through bridge, reply locked up everytime on an email. could not type.

    I would like to add my support to this comment.
    Strike 1) Bridging a BB 9700 with a PB is flaky at best. Even if you run the very latest software on both, it does not work properly. This is NOT a user issue but a programme/application issue. RIM software running on RIM hardware and O/S and NOT being able to connect properly = RIM fault.(see my other post: My Bridge connects, it exchanges data like passwords, number of unread emails and my playbook notifies me when someone calls my BB, but it does NOT unlock)
    Strike 2) All this used to work fine during the 90d grace suport period (apart from the flaky bluetooth issue that required a hard reboot of the BB whenever the connection was broken in a bad way)
    Strike 3) Now, after a PB OS upgrade (which I faithfully applied), several phone upgrades (due to another problem) and the latest Bridge application install, it all doesn't work anymore, 100 days after I bought the flipping thing. so I have a fancy ebook reader, not the productivity enhancing tool I can use on the go.
    So now I am stuck with a forum that can't help, a technical database that does not contain this support information and a broken RIM application on RIM Hardware and O/S that I paid a lot of money for. And now they want more to look at this incident????? I am sorry but if this was a problem caused by usage, configuration or any other user error, I could understand it. But this is all completely in RIMs ballpark. I have done everything right. It connects. It just DOES NOT WORK!!!!!
    As I said in my other post, an evaluation of the PB in my company is ongoing as a possible management tool by people I know quite well, as I work in the area, but my advice would definitely be to stay away until basic functionality like emails, attachments, calendars etcetera are all suitably solved and usable by the average manager with sausage fingers and no clue about bluetooth, hard reboots and who won't be able to hold down the power, + & - buttons at the same time as the fingers won't fit!!
    So RIM, get your finger out, open up an email support channel or get some qualified support people go through this forum and help those people who have shown faith in your products and who now have real problems with your software and hardware. DONT HIDE BEHIND A STUPID SUPPORT FEE - MAN UP TO YOUR PROBLEMS!!!

  • Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7

    Hide mouse cursor when typing is not working in IE11 Windows7 - I saw a post that devs were looking at this in 2011? Slow progress huh?
    This is really annoying when you have to move the cursor to see what you are typing...

    Hi,
    Please first make sure that Mouse Properties\Pointer options\Hide pointer while typing is ticked.
    If this option is already ticked, then try following steps to troubleshoot:
    Update the driver for the mouse to get the best performance.
    Choose a different cursor as Rob said for a test.
    If this issue occurred recently, check if you have any newly installed programs or IE add-ons which cause this issue, you can test this in no add-ons mode, click start button, type "internet" in the search box, choose "internet explorer (No add-on)".
    * I test in My IE, I have Hide pointer while typing checked, and in some typing boxes in IE the cursor will hide automatically, while some are not, but I think it's not an annoying issue for me.*
    Regard

    Can I restore my system from install discs when DVD is not working?
    There is a disc jammed in the drive and when I try to do an install in Target Firewire mode using a G5 Tower I get an error saying the software cannot be installed on this machine, before I can even select the iMac's drive. I'm using the grey software install discs that came with the iMac.

  • Hi the wifi when make update not works good

    hi
    the wifi when make update not working good
    now i cannot turn on wifi the wifi button
    can you help me please ????

    Hello Riham123,
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    It sounds like the wifi button is grayed out and you are unable to toggle it.
    I recommend trying the steps in this article:
    iOS: Wi-Fi settings grayed out or dim
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ts1559
    Verify that airplane mode is off by tapping Settings > Airplane Mode.
    Reset the network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
    Note: This will reset all network settings, including Bluetooth pairing records, Wi-Fi passwords, VPN, and APN settings.
    Ensure that your device is using the latest software. To do so, connect your device to your computer and check for updates in iTunes.
    If your issue is still unresolved, perform a software restore in iTunes.
    All the best,
    Sterling

  • Help! I dropped my external HD and now my Macbook Pro will not recognize the drive. I have tried to repair the disk and that does not work. Please offer help, suggestions, something!

    I dropped my external HD on my hard tile floor and now the drive is not working properly. I have tried a repair in Disc Ultilies with First Aid with no such luck. It started to work then I got a message "Filesystem verify or repair failed" about 3-4 minutes into the first aid repair disk. When I plug in I get the disk you inserted was not readable by this computer message. Please I need help on restoring this drive!
    Its a simple tech pro drive 1TB.

    Unfortunately, a drive that has been mechanically damaged by a drop and can't be repaired using Disk Utility probably can't be fixed any other way either. The best you can hope for is to salvage as much data from the drive as possible using one of the data recovery utilities linked below, and then replace the drive.
    http://www.prosofteng.com/products/data_rescue.php
    http://subrosasoft.com/OSXSoftware/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id= 1
    http://download.cnet.com/VirtualLab-Data-Recovery/3000-2094_4-10298807.html
    If you can't recover your most important data using one of these utilities, the only remaining hope is a data recovery service, which is very likely to cost $1000 or more for a 1TB drive.

  • Action & Droplet "save as" vs "save as web" not working - Possible bug?

    Before I state the issue, I am running the latest updates and have tried this in Photoshop CS4 & CS5.
    I believe this is a bug in Photoshop, unless someone can get this Action & droplet to work right.
    Here's the issue:
    I create an Action with the "Save as Web & Devices" and save the image as a PNG. Then create a Droplet and set the destination as "Folder" with a destination different from the source file, and check Override Action "Save As" Commands and use File Naming with Document Name + _H50 + extension (example: MyFile_H50.gif). The file naming convention I made doesn't carry over to the processed images.
    However this droplet will work with the Action when I use the "Save As" command, but not the "save as web & devices" option. Has anyone came across this issue or know how to fix it?
    The difference between "save as" and "Save as web" is a 3kb files size plus the "_H50" naming convention is not used.
    Here's a detailed process of my action and creation of the droplet:
    CREATION OF ACTION:
    1.) I have a .TGA file open with alpha channel layer.
    2.) I set the selection to the alpha channel, go back to the layers panel, double click layer, Set backgound to Layer 0, Inverse the selection, delete the background, trim image to transparent pixels, change image size to a fixed height of 50 pixels.
    Here's the variable step that works or doesn't work depending if I choose "Save as" or "Save as Web & Devices"
    3.) File > "Save as Web & Devices", save image as PNG w/ alpha, and select my "processed images" folder & save, close original  image without saving.
    CREATION OF DROPLET:
    1.) Save droplet location, Play action with include subfolders, Suppress file open options dialog, Suppress Color profile warnings.
    2.) Destination: Select a folder
    3.) Use File Naming: Document Name + _H50 + extension
    4.) Save log errors.
    Next I drag some images onto the droplet, it processes the images into the folder but doesn't use the File Naming convention.
    Now, if I use the "save as" command in the action and create the droplet the same way, it works!
    The difference between "save as" and "Save as web" is a 3kb files size plus the "_H50" naming convention is not used.
    What the heck is going on? Please Help
    -Josh

    The following example action and droplet may give you
    an idea how to do this with one droplet.
    The idea is to make an intermediate folder to save the renamed psds to.
    Then use save for web to save the psds as pngs in a different folder.
    1. Make a folder to hold the psd files (temp psd in the example droplet)
    2. Open one of your targa files and record the steps to prepare your file
        (loading the channel selection, trim, etc)
    3. Save your file as a psd.
    4. Now save the file using save for web to the folder where you want your
    final pngs to be (saved for web in the example action) and don't change
    the file name when saving.
    5. Go to the folder where you saved the png using save for web and delete that file.
       (so you don't get an overwrite message when using your droplet)
    6. When creating the droplet, specify the name you want the saved pngs to be and
       choose the destination folder where the psds will be saved. (temp psd)
    The end result of all this, should save your files, renamed as psds (to a folder)
    and save for web should save the renamed psds as pngs, to the place
    you saved the file using save for web.
    One drawback of all this, you end up with a folder full of psds.
    You could just delete the psd files inside the folder after each run.
    (click on the images below to enlarge)
    Hope this helps.

  • [BUG?] "Turn off Hard Disk after - NEVER " Does not work ?

    Hi,
    I was using last 2 builds of Windows 10 Tech preview x64, and found this weird behaviour. I've updated to this new 9926 build, clean installation, and it happened again:
    I have Windows installed on my SSD, and I have several other Hard Disks (internal ones) connected. Whenever I try to search files inside any of those HDDs, they have to turn themselves on, which causes a 2-3 sec lag, and then allow me to continue. When I'm
    done working inside them, and some minutes pass, they turn themselves back off again.
    I do know theres an power management option called "Turn Hard Disk off after..." and I have chosen it to be at NEVER. But it's not working.
    Has anyone had same problem? Is it a known bug or something? Any way to fix this?
    Thank you for your time, and forgive my level of english.
