Applescript Editor wont open

we have a Mac pro at work running 10.5.8.
The Script Editor, wont open.
There were NO prefs in the users home folder > Library > Prefs
I copied the prefs from my work computer in his........the app still crashes on open.
what can be done to get the app to work. There is no way we are doing any kind of full system re-install. We are a Broadcast operation and dont have the time. I wrote to scripts that run as apps, they work. I want to put the apps in the scripts menu. Thanks for any help

In the meantime, can you save them as an Application instead of a Script?
Does Applescript Utility in the same directory open?
Do you have time to...
Safe Boot, (holding Shift key down at bootup), run Disk Utility in Applications>Utilities, then highlight your drive, click on Repair Permissions, reboot when it completes.
(Safe boot may stay on the gray radian for a long time, let it go, it's trying to repair the Hard Drive & clear caches.)

Editor wont open in Elements 9

I just recently installed photoshop from a disk, and I opened a new image the first time easily through the organizer, and everything went fine. But now when I click the editor from the home screen the whole application shuts down, and when I click it from the organizer, nothing happens. I dont know whats wrong!!!!

Please try couple of probable solutions as mentioned below:
Solution 1:
1. Close Elements.
2. Launch the Photoshop Elements Welcome Screen and hold down ctrl + alt + shift as you click Editor.
3. Continue to hold the keys until you see a message box asking if you want to delete Photoshop Elements settings file; click Yes. Elements will open with default preferences.
Solution 2: In case any network printer is attached try to launch without network or printer uninstall or make different printer as default.
Solution 3: Try launching with anti-virus off or removing PSE from conflicting list.
Solution 4:
On the drive on which you have installed PSE,on my machine it is on C:
Go to C:\Program Files\Adobe\Photoshop Elements 9\Locales\<locale>\Plug-Ins\Import-Exportand you will find twain plug-in. Remove that plug-in from that location and copy it somewhere else.
Now launch PSE and check if it works.

Press alt+shift+delete when you launch editor. This will delete the preferences and then try launching the editor.

I keep on getting the message 'AppleScript Editor cannot open files in the "AppleScript Editor Document" format' when I try download software?

Is there a way to still download these programs?

Firefox reports that it is my default browser. I changed the default browser to Chrome and then back to Firefox, in case that's what you meant by "redo." Right-clicking and picking Firefox in the Open With menu works, but double-clicking the file or just picking Open in the right-click menu does not.
I don't know why this is. Could it be due to a version update? I've noticed that Google Notifier's "Go to Inbox" no longer opens up Gmail in Firefox either.

Applescript Editor saved as "Run only" - How do I open my work? Please help

I just spent hours on an applescript project. I'm still new to the Applescript Editor, so when I saved it as a run-only application, I thought that it meant it was just exporting the app. I didn't realize that when I quit, it would not ask to save the file. So now I have a final application that I can't open. How can I get back to editing it?

What I meant was that the indicator at the top center of the window probably should not have turned solid
Wow, I've never noticed that before.
Pretty cool..
leading me to believe it was saved
Well, it was saved but not as a file you could edit.
It's like a file in a word processor. If you save it as plain text, it will remove all formatting and the icon at top would turn solid (indicating it is saved).
But open it again and it won't have any formatting.
But I don't mean to complain. I just wish I could open my work.
I understand fully.
Sometimes ya' gotta learn the hard way.
On that note, a pet peeve of mine.
You do make regular backups of your important files, yes? You at least haveTime Machine running?

Applescript won't run as .app but runs fine in AppleScript Editor

I'm an experienced web developer.. but total applescript noob. so forgive me if this is a silly question.
I'm calling my script it from Flash via fscommand to launch a PDF using finder, rather than a browser.
The script works great from AppleScript Editor when i hit run but when saved as a .app it doesn't run.
any ideas?
Here's the code:
property fileName : "my.pdf"
set myPath to (path to me as string)
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ":"
set the parentFolder to ¬
((text items 1 thru -2 of myPath) & "") as string
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ""
try
set targetFile to alias (the parentFolder & fileName)
on error
return quit
end try
tell application "Finder"
open file targetFile
end tell

A script application is actually an application bundle - a bundle is a kind of folder that gets treated like a single item (in this case, an application). Getting path to me results in a path that ends with a colon (since it is a folder), so when you try to use text item delimiters to get the container you are actually just stripping off the trailing colon, so the path built for your file won't point to the correct location.
As previously posted, the Finder can get the container, so you can just do everything in a tell application "Finder" statement:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #DAFFB6;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
property fileName : "my.pdf"
set myPath to (path to me)
tell application "Finder"
set the parentFolder to container of myPath
try
open file ((parentFolder as text) & fileName)
end try
end tell
</pre>

Safari wont open after downloading 'genieo', its taken over homepage on internet and only opens for 1 second before closing rapidly. deleted it but still cant open internet. please HELP!

safari wont open since downloading 'genieo' stupidly, well by accident i just looked what it is up..... as needed to crop song quickly and must have been on that page/..., i moved it to trash and removed it everywhere i could see it but its still taken over safari and so web page closes after 1 second of opening so i cant use it. There are removal instructions etc online but i cant get online to do them! how can i sort this out if i cant use the internet and change my homepage etc? Will people at Apple store be able to do this for me?

There are some instructions that take time with some attention to detail to attempt and also remove all parts of the genieo and other adware malware bad content that come with visiting or downloading a variety of web sites which may spread their ilk to those who unknowingly or unwittingly get downloads or install content that has been doctored with some untoward idea in mind. Some of the posers do this to disrupt or sell more dysfunctional cures to their created mischief. The cure (incl their uninstaller) may be as bad as the problem.
•The Safe Mac - Tech Guides: Note 'adware removal & others' here
http://www.thesafemac.com/tech-guides/
Genieo is a specific issue and has a section in there.
http://www.thesafemac.com/?s=genieo&submit=Search
For general adware, a script (beta, if you try luck)
is available but it may not touch genieo...
•Adware Removal Tool (applescript)
http://www.thesafemac.com/art/
The browser issue is covered under one of the topic areas, as that may also include a re-direct device where an extra button or home page to junk keeps loading. Incorrect removal of the badware may cause Safari to fail. However, you can get use a different browser to get information such as visit the above site, or here, etc.
I do not know if the techs or genius at Apple Store would be able to remove the problem. One way it to erase everything on the computer, and start all over, and lose all your stuff. You should have a backup of your created content on a drive external to your computer, in addition to TimeMachine backups, for restoration purposes; this done before an issue strikes. The methods of removal are covered in the linked pages above.
Another way, as suggested in detail by Linc Davis, can be followed and perhaps resolve the issue, too; at some point this topic thread will be seen by more than a few people. This is not a new topic here.
Good luck & happy computing!

Photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

photoshop elements 13 and premiere 13 purchased, downloaded and installed... but wont OPEN/LAUNCH.. HELLP!!?

Hello
My "os" is windows 8.1
When I clicked on the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable the photo editor popped up
along with an install option. Then I clicked install and then a update
failed message popped up. (I've attached a screen shot photo of that) Then
I clicked on error log and a "please quit and try again error code" message
popped up. (I've also attached a screen shot photo of that as well) so
after all that I closed everything and restarted my computer and clicked on
the PHOTOSHOP 13 executable again and it went straight to the photo editor
not the welcome screen (where I can choose either organizer or photo
editor)... why isn't there a welcome screen like before?
When I clicked on the executable for PREMIERE 13 there was two executable
options.. one that was labeled (PREMIERE 13 exe) and another that was
labeled just (PREMIERE exe) without the "13" so first I clicked on PREMIERE
13 exe and it took me to the welcome screen so then I clicked on video
editor the new project but nothing happened. ... the loading bar moves then
stops. So after that I closed it and went back to click the PREMIERE exe
and it took me straight to the video editor, again no welcome screen (were
i can choose either organizer or video editor) just like the photoshop....
so in the end I am able to click on the executable options for both
photoshop 13 and premiere and it takes me straight to the editor but
without the welcome screen...
Clicking on the shortcut icons on my desk top still won't launch though....
So does this mean it's working because clicking on the executable options
takes me straight to the editor? Or is something still not right because
the program won't open/launch when i click on the desktop shortcuts and
welcome screen won't pop up when clicking on executable options?
Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it

Elements 12 wont open why? had it to the computer shop twice and they can not find out why either. MAD MAD Mad

IT has been installed and uninstalled a hundred time. The tech from Adobe could not get it to open. The people at the computer shop very graciously have tried every thing they can think of. This not only to mention I thought I had a bad disk and bought a second copy. This program is a joke and am so mad that even adobe could not make it run. It install just fine, but just wont open.

I'm sorry you're having so many problems, but this is the user to user forum not adobe, and we can't give you a refund any more than you could give one us a refund. You would need to contact adobe about that.
However, it sounds like you are talking about PSE 7 through 10, and it's not web-based software, it's just desktop software that offered an online component. The problem is that you are trying to sign in to photoshop.com and photoshop.com has been dead and gone for over a year now. If you had photos stored there, you would have gotten a bunch of emails when your photos were getting moved to Revel, but you can't access revel from within PSE. The solution is simply to stop using the welcome screen and launch the editor or organizer directly from the .exe/application file

PE 12 organiser wont open, edit photo yes open

win 7, PE12 photoshop and premier element are install. Photoshop organiser wont open. I open it if I go in C/ program file 86/ adobe....but not directly on desktop.

Does anything happen if you select a thumbnail in the Organizer and then click the Editor button on the bottom toolbar?
Did you buy the download from Adobe or from a store?
Do you have a desktop icon and what happens if you double click? Normally you should see both options; Organizer & Editor.
What computer and operating system are you using?

I have installed iworks 9 now wont open up, i have installed iworks 9 now wont open up, i have installed iworks 9 now wont open up

i have installed iworks 9 and tried to open it up and it tells me to purchase serial number but i installed from a cd

You cannot completely delete iWork by moving the iWork '09 folder to the Trash. Instead, use Yvan Koenig's script:
          •          Go to http://www.box.com/s/00qnssoyeq2xvc22ra4k
          •          Choose public_YK > for_iWork'09 > other_iWork'09 items
          •          Click on uninstall iWork '09.zip, decompress it, open it in AppleScript Editor and click the Run button

Can i use the 'Record' feature in Applescript editor to automate bulk mail

Hi,
Is it possible to use the 'Record' feature of the Applescript editor to create a script that will automatically copy a website address into a new email message and then send that email message to everyone in my Friends category from the Address Book.
I want to do this because I want to alert my friends to changes on my website once a week, but I don't want to have to sit and type out the email and copy the website address and everything like that. So I was thinking I could do it with one click using Applescript.
Is that right and how dangerous is it. Like if i somehow manage to mess up the script can I just delete it and start again without causing any damage to my Mac
Thanks
Jason

Perhaps I should make myself more clear what I want to do.
I want to do the following.
1: Open Mail
2: Create a new email message
3: Set the recipients from my contact group "Friends" so that everyone in my my 'Friends" contact group will receive the email
4: Set the subject as: "Check out these great new updates to my site"
4: Set the body of the mail message as follows:
Hi There,
Thanks to you all for subscribing to these updates. Here are this weeks updates from Jason's Online Mag. [website address]
Regards
Jason Telford
http;//web.me.com/jasongtelford
5: Send the email
Am I correct in thinking that I will need to use Automator and schedule the automation to run a script as per a weekly iCal event.
If this is correct, then how would I do that. Can I use the 'Record' feature of Automator and the Applescript Editor, to create the automation and the script. I am new to doing this kind of thing so I am unsure of the procedure for accomplishing the task I described above automatically.
Also I should apologise for not making my original post clearer.
Regards
Jason

Have used PSE11 since Apr, no problems, Organizer wont open

Have used PSE for years, many versions. Yesterday, Organizer wont open. Editor still works fine. Using PSE 11 on W8 machine with "classic shell". Help

Thank you very much scb. This seemed to solve the problem. Once I open the A6 documents & then close them they appear in the "starting points" box under the "recent items tab". I can now open
A6 without the Dreaded "Quit Unexpectedly" box popping up. Thanks again
