Applescript error problems

I'm not too familiar with applescript. I've never used it much to create my own scripts (other than an automated script to log onto my server when I boot). Suddenly many of the small, free programs I use give applescript errors when starting up and then shut down (programs like cacheoutX, fetchart, etc). My wife's user account on the same computer works fine (no applescript errors when using these same programs). How do I fix/reinstall applescript? If no one knows how, is there an easy way to reinstall my own user account (I'm the admin and original user account)? I'm getting sick of this and it's one of the first big headaches I've had with OS X that I haven't been able to find an easy fix for. Please help! and thanks so much...
-Dan
p.s. The appelscript error is "NSRecieverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1)"

Dan,
Brute force is not the solution.
Let's try the following:
1. Remove the applescripts that don't work: Script-scroll-thingy > Open Scripts Folder > User Scripts folder > delete non-functional scripts from it.
Check for duplicates of the non-functioning scripts in the Library Scripts folder.
Now delete the applescript .plist.
Delete trash.
Restart to rebuild the plist.
Run an Applescript to test. Does it work?
Yes: Add back your Applescripts one at a time and test them individually.
No: Use Cocktail or Onyx to clean your caches and try again.
-Wayne
PS When this is sorted, please make yourself an ordinary user. First, create an admin profile just for updates and installation. You should do this because it's far easier to bork your Mac from an admin profile than from a user profile. Unlike the convicted monopoly OS, OS X will nicely ask you for the admin user/password when it wants to do things to your system that are inherently dangerous. If you're cautious enough, you should never have to log into the admin profile. Just remember to give it a non-"admin" user name and use a strong password.

Applescript error 600

I keep getting an Applescript error -600.........application isn't running. When I click on "ok" Cocktail opens and runs pilot. The script is then gone but eventually comes back. Is there any way to stop this error from appearing?
Thanks for helping.
Ron

That error was reported as a Cocktail error in pre- 6.3 versions. (See: fixed problems with a -600 error)
Try uninstalling Cocktail to see if Cocktail is causing the error.

AppleScript error -609 in Automator workflow

I created an AppleScript on one computer and incorporated it in an Automator workflow. The script works perfectly well stand-alone or as part of the workflow.
Then I copied both files to a headless computer via VNC. I adjusted the workflow to look at the new location of the script, and the script itself to look at the new location of the file it's processing. Now, on that second computer, the script works perfectly well by itself, but I get AppleScript error -609 Connection Is Invalid if it's run from the workflow.
For testing purposes I reduced the script to its simplest expression:
tell application "Finder"
end tell
and it's still generating the error.
Strangely, from the workflow the full script does what's it's supposed to, but the workflow stops because of the error. The error appears even if this script is alone in the workflow. Does anybody know what it means?

That error means that the script wasn't able to communicate with the targeted application properly, which can happen if the application crashes while the script is running. If that error doesn't cause any problems, it's appearance can be suppressed:
try
(your code)
on error number -609
end try
This construct will not execute any code on or after the line which produces the error.

Connecting with Bluetooth--AppleScript Error

My current internet connection is through my mobile company here in Italy while studying abroad using the bluetooth of my phone. There's a program that I have to run from the company to connect, and the first few days after installing Leopard I was able to still connect, but with several glitches (i.e. locking up, my menu bar freezing in the connection, time, and power area showing the pinwheel when I hovered over it) and this caused me to have to force my laptop to shut down by holding the power button on several occasions.
Now when I open the program, as it is loading the phone information and taking control of the network settings, I am greeted by a message saying, "The application FMM3MYIC quit unexpectedly." offering me to ignore, report, or relaunch. Both ignoring and relaunching lead to a second message saying (translated from Italian) "AppleScript Error: The localconnectionstatus variable is not defined. (-2753)" Ultimately this leads me without a connection.
Any hints as to why it was running fine before and not now? I've recently installed the two latest updates thinking that might help and deleted the files as well as re-installed the program.
I know nothing really about scripts, but would it be possible to edit the script for the program. Any help would be great--I went to a local Mac store (not an official one--just a support and sales place) here in Milan and they were really of no help. His suggestion was to run DiskUtility, which did me no good. Anyway thanks in advance.

Could you verify a couple of things please?
Are the 64-bit desktop and 32-bit laptop both paired to the same Nokia 5800, and are they used in such a way that both computers could be connected via Bluetooth to the 5800 at the same time? You should verify that the previous Bluetooth connection is turned off before using another. This can be done for example by disabling the bluetooth dongle from the other computer. It could be said that Ovi Suite doesn't support connecting to a mobile phone from multiple computers.
Are you able to pair your Nokia 5800 with the Toshiba laptop at all? Or did I understand the problem correctly, that after restarting the Mobile device, it can be connected to the laptop? If it is a pairing problem, you could try pairing the device outside Ovi Suite by using the Microsoft Bluetooth stack directly.
If the problem is not one of the above mentioned, and it persists, it could help if you post the following information to your reply (from Ovi Suite):

No sound -- AppleScript error

I don't have sound on my iMac G5 running OS 10.5.8
This problem just developed recently, but I think it relates to a little program I installed a long time ago called psst! (it's supposed to make the startup chime quieter) I also recently installed a newer version of Finale (Finale 2011) that I was using to play midi sounds through my internal speaker.
When I shut the computer down I see a error message with an icon from psst. The error reads:
AppleScript Error
Can't make missing value into type integer. (-1700)
I tried turning off psst!, but I can't because the same error message comes up. I tried removing Psst! to the trash, but that didn't help. I installed a new version of Psst! and that didn't fix the problem either.

Turns out that I found the answer to this question in an iMac G5 discussion. It appears that I was correct in assuming a program messed up my sound settings. When that happens, the easiest and quickest way to return them to normal is to open up and use Garage Band and have it make some sound. At least, that just worked for me! I guess Garage Band takes charge and puts things in their proper places.

Serious Unarchive and Applescript Errors

I have run into a little problem.
After cleaning up some of my applications, something went weird and I can not unarchive a file using the OS BOMarchivehelper and several applications give me applescript errors.
When I try to unzip a file, I get this error:
Unable to unarchive: "CoreDuoTemp.zip" into "Downloads". (Error 32 - Broken Pipe.)
When I use another app to unzip the coreduo app, and attempt to run the app I get this error:
AppleScript Error
sh: line 1: top: command not found
sh: line 1: grep: command not found
sh: line 1: cut: command not found(127)
another app brings up:
sh: line 1: defaults: command not found(127)
I have googled these errors and nothing useful has come up. If anyone has any ideas as to how get these two portions of the OS to function properly (without reinstalling), I would greatly appreciate it.

There are at least 3 possibilities here as all those commands are in the /usr/bin/ folder with Mac OS X 10.5.1
1. You've deleted the /usr/bin folder or maybe just reset it's permissions.
2. You've deleted or munged the setup file (probably bash.rc or profile.rc) for the shell you're using so that it isn't setting the "path" variable correctly. Execute "echo $PATH" in terminal to show it. It should contain several colon separated posix paths and appear something like this -
/bin:/opt/local/bin:/opt/local/sbin:/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sb in
3. If you are in single user mode, you haven't typed in the full path to the commands i.e. "/usr/bin/defaults"
Try "/usr/bin/whereis top" in your shell to see if it exists. If it doesn't return a path to the command or otherwise errors, you might want to re-install the Mac's OS as you may have a lot of stuff missing. If it does return a path then it's either item 2 or 3.
Note: As "whereis" is also located in /usr/bin it will not work if the folder is gone or damaged.

AppleScript Error Codes

If this isn't a FAQ, it should be (but there doesn't seem to be a FAQ for this topic, and searches fail).
The question: Where can I find a list of AppleScript Error Codes.
This simple bit of code
tell application "Oracle Calendar"
activate
end tell
Started generating a -10660 error, and it took me longer than it should have to discover that the script was pointing at the old version of the application that I had in the trash, and not the new version that replaced it. Easily remedied once I knew what the problem was.
So, is there a canonical link out there with AppleScript error codes?
Thank you.

HD,
Deeply impressed by your detective work on this error code. Wonder if you can help me with another.
I am scripting Filemaker using 'do applescript steps'. Once the AS is done i pass back info by using AS to tell FM to set one of its own fields. So for more clarity -
IN FM
Call Filemaker script
Call Applescript script
tell filemaker to set a field to the value of an AS variable
end Applescript script
end Filemaker script
and sometimes i get a -10011 Error on that Filemaker setting field step. The error message is "Data being accessed by another user,script or transaction". Can you throw any light ? (more details here)
No one else is using the db or even logged on at the time of these errors.
Thanks

APPLESCRIPT ERROR 10827-3RD PARTY BRATTOO-W/IPHOTO

I put my snow leopard disc in and used the disc utility to repair sys. that seemed to work for a while, but this am. I am back to the same problem.I trashed prefs on the app and on i-photo.
any ideas out there????

I didn't actually read your message after I saw that you were using a capitals.
Now after reading this time I would suggest that you send use the strange error message.
While it might seem strange to your eye, it just might be meaningful to someone here.

Automator Workflow returns Applescript Error.

I recently created an automator workflow that will allow me to play an internet radio station without opening a browser. The workflow is…
• Get Specified URL's (with the radio station's live streaming URL)
• Website Popup (displays a window that plays the radio station)
Simple enough. And it worked fine.
So I thought, let's make this more useful. Let's add a second URL to the "Get Specified URL's" action, and options "Show this action when the workflow runs." Then I can select the radio station I want to listen to from the list.
Now, when I run the workflow, I get the list of URL's to select from. When I click to select one, I get an "Applescript Error. AppleEvent Handler Failed -10000. That's the whole message. Nothing else.
Now, this still works. When I click "OK" the workflow continues, brings up my popup window, and plays my radio station. But it's just an annoyance to have that AppleScript Error message pop up. Even more strange, (IMO) is that fact that if I leave both radio stations selected, there is no AppleScript Error, and my workflow defaults to the first radio station.
BTW, the workflow is only these two automator actions. I did not add any Applescript of my own. And it's definitely the first action that's generating this message. It's the "click" that generates that message.
Any ideas?

Actually, I was referring to it's use in this case, since you are only going to select one item from the list - it isn't set up very well for selecting individual items. The resulting list should really be limited to one item, since allowing multiple selections might get interesting, but there isn't a handy way to do that. Using "Open URL" isn't a very good option either, since it leaves the workflow running.
The error seems to be related to the checkboxes, so you might try an end run by using the *Choose from List* action, which doesn't have the problem:
1) *Get Specified URLs* -- don't show the action when run
2) *Choose from List* -- make the selection here
3) *DIsplay Webpages*

Hi, I am having a little trouble with exporting images to another drive and Catalogue and need some help if anyone can give me some advice
I am currently using Lightroom 5.6 and operating on a Mac with OSX Ver 10.9.5.
I am receiving an error problem when doing the following -
I am exporting selected photos from a particular Catalogue saved on Drive 1 to a folder created on another Drive where a Lightroom Catalogue has been created. In this Catalogue I have arranged for the images once exported to be moved to a different folder - I used the Auto Import process under the File dialogue box.
When processing the Export I receive an error message for each of the images being exported indicating the following -
Heading Import Results
Some import operations were not performed
Could not move a file to requested location. (1)
then a description of the image with file name
Box Save As Box OK
If I click the OK button to each image I can then go to the other Catalogue and all images are then transferred to the file as required.
To click the OK button each time is time consuming, possibly I have missed an action or maybe you can advise an alternative method to save the time in actioning this process.
Thanks if you can can help out.

Thank You, but this is a gong show. Why is something that is so important to us all so very, very difficult to do?

Hi,
I have following problem:
I created 2 BPEL processes.
One of these processes should be called from the other as a partnerlink.
When I create the partnerlink, pointing to the deployed wsdl, I get following error "Problem building schema" when I try to access the input variable that was created by the invoke activity.
I have tried a lot of things but keep on getting this error.
When I create a new, empty BPEL process, and do exactly the same it does work!
any help would be greatly appreciated.....

MPD: ERROR: problems opening audio device

Here's the output of mpd -v
listen: bind to '0.0.0.0:6600' failed: Address already in use (continuing anyway, because binding to '[::]:6600' succeeded)

Doesn't contain anything unusual.
EDIT: oh, and mplayer -ao alsa works fine.
