AppleScript and MIDI comms - is that possible?

I'm getting into AppleScript, had a lot of fun with FaceSpan - now I want to talk to my musical instruments over MIDI, how can I do that using AppleScript? It seems I need some "interface" between the AppleScript and the serial port. My latest idea is to somehow use OMS or even MIDI Manager but are these scriptable?
I have an idea that an "interface" might be possible that has been designed just to be scriptable, maybe this item already exists?? does it?
Basically this is the scheme:
AppleScript ->scriptable doofer -> serial port -> midi interface
the part I need to know about is the "scriptable doofer"
I'm using OS7-9 with OSX I believe MidiPipe would be the answer.

If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?

If I purchase lightroom but want to install on both a pc and a mac is that possible from just a download version rather than ordering a disc?

Yes, a single serial number can be used to install on two computers and one can be a PC and one a Mac. The download will be a different installer for each platform but the serial number should activate both.

Hi I Pant,
The idea that crossed my mind was to tie each of the lines coming from/going to "your device" to two of the DIO lines. Configure one these two ports as input, the other as output.
When you want to read the state of the line, read from the line configured as input. Similarly, use the other port when it is time to write.
Provided "your device" uses tri-state drivers/receivers, or can be used in a "wired-OR" configuration, this may work.
What is "your device"?

On my time capsule I would like to switch wifi off during the evening and night. Is that possible?

Hi there,
Is it possible to switch wifi of during a block of hours each day without accessing the time capsule every day?
I want my kids to stay of-line at night! :-)
Thanks in advance for your help.
Cheers, Leon

There is no off switch but you can setup parental control which does nothing more than turn off wireless between whatever hours you set for the particular client/s.
See under access control of wireless in v5 utility and under Network, Enable Access Control in v6 utility..
Also search.. there are lots of posts about the right way to setup "Timed Access Control"

Using JavaScript to script System Events wouldn't be any better, since it uses the same Apple Events mechanism (how well it uses it is another topic). To hold down a key you would need to use something that has access to the deeper system APIs, most likely using Xcode.
And yes, your code snippet will press the arrow key 5 times (I am guessing that the missing space in key code is a typo). You can place the cursor in a bunch of text in another application such as TextEdit, and use your script to activate it before performing the key codes to get a better idea of what is happening (trying to reposition the cursor in the Script Editor will reveal a bug with the delay command).

Is this possible in AppleScript and if so how ?

I am trying to make an app that opens AppleScript and types in things. I then want the AppleScript that the other Applescript wrote to save as an application, and rename it. Is this possible and if so, can you give me an example?

If I'm following what you want, the applescript editor is fully scriptable. In fact, there are a bunch of applescript samples in /Library/Scripts/Script Editor Scripts/ that show you how to use applescript to write and compile applescript code into a new window. Just for a quick-and-dumb example:
set the target_string to "X-X-X"
set the script_text to "display dialog \"" & target_string & "\" buttons {\"OK\"} default button 1" & return
set outputPath to POSIX path of (path to desktop folder from user domain) & "test.app"
tell application "AppleScript Editor"
          activate
          set newDoc to make new document
          tell newDoc
                    set its text to script_text
                    try
                              check syntax
                              compile
                    end try
                    save in outputPath as "com.apple.application"
          end tell
end tell

Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Maverick... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...

Hi! Just bought Snow leopard 10.6.3 and upgraded my 2008 iMAC; now want to use the free upgrade to Mavericks like I was advised in the Apple/Switch store... is that possible? I read compatibility requirement of 10.6.8 or later...???? Thanks for any guidance!

Before installation you should back up all your data.
When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
Check via Software Update whether any further updates are required, particularly to iTunes (you will need the latest version in order to synch with mobile devices).
You should now see the App Store icon in iTunes, and you now need to set up your account:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4479
You can now upgrade to Mavericks OS 10.9 for free IF you have one of the following Macs, with not less than 2GB of RAM, and at least 8GB of available space on your hard drive:
iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later), (15-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later), (17-inch, Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac Mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)
iCloud system requirements:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4759
If you cannot run Mavericks you can purchase the code to use to download Lion from the App Store (Lion requires an Intel-based Mac with a Core 2 Duo, i3, i5, i7 or Xeon processor and 2GB of RAM, running the latest version of Snow Leopard):

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to him.

In contacts there is the possibility to add a new event, as the birthdays, but they do not appear in iCal. Is there any way to make that possible? It is normal to have a person with his birthday, anniversary and others key dates you want to link to such person, but the only one shows up is the birthday. How to be able to show all those dates linked to people in the agenda in the iCal?
Thanks

Hi,
I sugggest you try my application, Dates to iCal. It is shareware with a 2 week trial period.
Dates to iCal 2 is a replacement for Apple's birthday calendar for iCal. It has a range of features to allow the user to choose what, and what not, to sync to iCal from Address Book.
As well as automatically syncing birthday dates from Address Book, Dates to iCal 2 can sync anniversary and custom dates. It can set up to five alarms for each date in iCal and can also set different alarms for birthdays and anniversaries. It allows the option of only syncing from one Address Book group. This application also allows for the titles of the events sent to iCal to be modified to the user's preference.
Best wishes

Having AppleTV remember the password is optional.
Logout of iTunes store, log back in and hopefully next time you come to purchase you'll be prompted for your password but decline the option to remember it. You might also want to look out of parental controls on the unit.

I was using an apple id, but now I wanna use a new apple id and keep all the data which i stored in the old one. Is that possible to do that?

I was used one apple id for 2 phones.
But now, I would like to use a new apple id but store back the old data from the old apple id.
Is that possible to do that?

No it is not. Purchases are forever tied to the Apple ID that they were purchased with.
However, if you want to change your Apple ID, and it is not an @me.com, @mac.com, or @iCloud.com email address, you can log on to Manage your Apple ID with your current ID and password, then click on the EDIT button next to the Apple ID. You can change it to any valid email address that is not an Apple domain email address (the @me, @mac, @icloud mentioned above):

No, you can't do what you want. Apple will only ship a US iPhone to a verified billing/shipping address in the US.

I want to use 2 ipad 2 devices to present in a one-on-one situation. I would hand an ipad 2 to my customer and go through a presentation controlling what he/she sees with my ipad 2. Is that possible?

This IS possible. Take a look at Fuze Meeting HD and Mobile Presenter Pro on the App Store. Fuze Meeting HD was featured in an iPad commercial, in fact.

I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

I live in the US and want to buy a MacBook Air with norwegian keyboard in the Apple Store. Is that possible?

In earlier years you can go th an Apple Store, buy a Macbook Pro and ask for a replacement to a other type of keyboard. I do this 2-3 times in the last years for german keyboards. If you done this on the same day you bought the macbook, the replacement happened without charge anything. It was a great service.
Yesterday i go back to the same store like before and both - the sales representative and the guys an the GeniusBar told me - that this is not offered by Apple anymore. Because the US Apple Online Store do not offer other Keyboards the US-based keyboards and the German Apple Online Store do not deliver to other countries the final conglusion from the Apple Stuff was:
Flight to germany, but it over their.
I see here in the Support community a lot of questions about norwegian, german and other kind of keyboards they want to buy in the US. Their is obviously a need for this. And from the logistic standpoint, it should be easy for Apple to offer that in the Online Stores itself.
For me the conglusaion is: I stay with my old Macbook Pro and hope i need no replacement within the next years. To order it in germany, ship it to a friend, pay taxes twice (in germany and vur customers) plus shipment, make it to expensive (bottonline: 600-800$ more than buy it in the US) make no sense to me.
