AppleScript for Viscosity error
I am trying to set up port forwarding using the application Viscosity. I found the following code online which allows me to port forward using Transmission:
set
vpn_ip to do shell script "ifconfig tun0 | grep inet | awk '{print $2}'" # get current ip of vpn interface
set
vpn_port to do shell script "curl -d \"user=MYUSERNAME&pass=MYPASSWORD&client_id=$(cat ~/.pia_client_id)&local_ip=" & vpn_ip & "\"https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/vpninfo/port_forward_assignment 2> /dev/null|grep -oE \"[0-9]+\""
do shell script
"defaults delete org.m0k.transmission BindPort" # delete previous port value
do shell script
"defaults write org.m0k.transmission BindPort " & vpn_port & ""
do shell script
"defaults delete org.m0k.transmission BindAddressIPv4" #delete previously written ipv4binding value
do shell script
"defaults write org.m0k.transmission BindAddressIPv4 " & vpn_ip & "" #write current vpn ip into transmission.plist
I now get the following error status in AppleScript when I try to "run" the script:
error "The command exited with a non-zero status." number 1
Any ideas what this means and how I can fix it and get the script working?
I added the lines of script as requested so the script in full now reads as:
set vpn_ip to do shell script "ifconfig tun0 | grep inet | awk '{print $2}'" # get current ip of vpn interface
display dialog vpn_id
set vpn_port to do shell script "curl -d \"user=USERNAME&pass=PASSWORD&client_id=$(cat ~/.pia_client_id)&local_ip=" & vpn_ip & "\"https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/vpninfo/port_forward_assignment 2> /dev/null|grep -oE \"[0-9]+\""
display dialog vpn_port
do shell script "defaults delete org.m0k.transmission BindPort" # delete previous port value
do shell script "defaults write org.m0k.transmission BindPort " & vpn_port & ""
do shell script "defaults delete org.m0k.transmission BindAddressIPv4" #delete previously written ipv4binding value
do shell script "defaults write org.m0k.transmission BindAddressIPv4 " & vpn_ip & "" #write current vpn ip into transmission.plist
(Censored my username and password).
I run the script and get this error:
error "The variable vpn_id is not defined." number -2753 from "vpn_id"
With the first new additional code highlighted "vpn_id".
display dialog vpn_id
I created the .pia_client_id file but running a line of code in Terminal (which was detailed in the oringal thread where I found the script). The code I ran in Terminal was:
head -n 100 /dev/urandom | md5 > ~/.pia_client_id
Thanks so much for your assistance so far, I really appreciate it.

Applescript for mail error can't get message id
I have an applescript (found on internet) for Mail 4.5 that deletes messages in "on my mac" mailbox "Deleted Inbox" that are older than 120 days. The script runs from an iCal daily event. I drag messages from Inbox to "Deleted Inbox" when I don't want the message in Inbox, but I want to save the message for 120 days before deleting it. The script sometimes runs successfully, and sometimes gives error "Mail got an error: Can't get message id xxx of mailbox "Deleted Inbox"". Then in Mail, I "Mailbox / Rebuild" that mailbox, and run the script manually without error. How can I avoid that error? The script is essentially:
tell application "Mail"
set OldStuff to every message of mailbox TheBox where date received of it < OldDate
repeat with ThisMessage in OldStuff
delete ThisMessage
end repeat
end tell
Thanks for any help.
KenHow can I avoid that error?
I don't actually know how you can avoid that error. However, maybe you can use a workaround and have the script rebuild the mailboxes automatically when such an error occurs. Try the following code:
tell application "Mail"
try
set OldStuff to every message of mailbox TheBox where date received of it < OldDate
on error
activate
tell application "System Events" to click menu item "Rebuild" of menu 1 of menu bar item "Mailbox" of menu bar 1 of process "Mail"
delay 1 -- adjust if necessary
set OldStuff to every message of mailbox TheBox where date received of it < OldDate
end try
repeat with ThisMessage in OldStuff
delete ThisMessage
end repeat
end tell
Since the above script uses GUI Scripting, you must enable the Accessibility Frameworks by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.

Help with a simple applescript for combining Artist text with Track name
Hi all,
I'd like to put together a simple script that takes the artist names from a list of tracks in iTunes and copies the text to the start of the Title name, followed by " - ".
This is because, e.g. on a classical album, I want the artist names to all be "Classic Collection Gold" but I'd like to keep the artist name contained with the track name. This means when I browse by artist I don't get millions of artists...
I found this script, which does something kinda similar, but I'm new to script writing so not sure how to do it?
So I'd like to change:
Name
Planets: Mars
Artist
Gustav Holst
Ambum:
Simply Classical Gold (Disc 2)
To be:
Gustav Holst - Planets: Mars
Artist
Gustav Holst - Planets: Mars OR BETTER Simply Classical Gold (Disc 2)
Album
Simply Classical Gold (Disc 2)
This script has some ideas in, but I'm not sure how to tweak it....

The first thing you need is a way to identify the tracks to change - you don't want to do all tracks in the library (they might have already been munged). A good option is to work on the selected tracks:
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then
set sel to selection
You then need to iterate through those items, changing them one-by-one:
repeat with aTrack in sel
Now comes the easy part - build a list of the elements you want (in this case you want the name, artist, and album of each track:
set trackName to name of aTrack
set trackArtist to artist of aTrack
set trackAlbum to album of aTrack
Now you have the information you need, so reset the fields as appropriate:
set name of aTrack to trackArtist & " - " & trackName
set artist of aTrack to trackAlbum -- or to trackArtist & " - " & trackName, depending on your choice
Now clean up by closing off the repeat and tell blocks:
end repeat
end tell
Putting it all together you get:
tell application "iTunes"
if selection is not {} then
set sel to selection
repeat with aTrack in sel
set trackName to name of aTrack
set trackArtist to artist of aTrack
set trackAlbum to album of aTrack
set name of aTrack to trackArtist & " - " & trackName
set artist of aTrack to trackAlbum -- or to trackArtist & " - " & trackName, depending on your choice
end repeat

Applescript 'Contacts' code error with Maverick
After upgrading from MacOSX 10.6.8 to Maverick my applescripts are creating errors. One example is the following script which works fine if you run it from within the 'Applescript Editor.app' (v 2.6.1) under Maverick but creates a "Data paste section" error -1743 from the 'Contacts' app if you run the script indpendently. Any hints anyone on how I might return this script to full indpendent functionality?

- After Hard resetting, the Lock Code is still erroneous;
- After firmware reinstalling, Lock Code is erroneous;
- Pulling out the battery, leaving the cellphone with no power for several hours, give the same result;
- Downgrading firmware (previous version) did not fix the problem;
Interesting thing is, after power on, the cellphone asks for the code lock: entering ANY number, returns "Code Error", and simply goes back to normal operation.
Everything is working, except I can no use de Lock Code, or any function related to it.
Of course, is pretty annoying to enter the lock code every time I power-on the cell. -
How to write an applescript and ignore errors
I'm writing an applescript that uses a shell command that will always return an error. Applescript stops as soon as the error occurs. I want the applescript to continue running. How should I tell Applescript to ignore errors?
The basic construct is a try/end try block which runs your own code when an error occurs rather than stopping your script.
An alternative when using do shell script is to suppress stdout and stderr so that errors are not returned to the application. Which you can do by appending ' > /dev/null 2>&1 &' to the end of the shell command.
Note, though, that your command will not work as written because 'choose folder' will return an alias object which can not be passed to a shell command as-is. Shell commands require unix-style paths for all file/folder parameters. Fortunately, AppleScript makes this easy by providing a POSIX path command which will convert an alias to a unix path. Additionally, since Mac paths can commonly include spaces and other non-shell safe characters, you may want to quote the path, too, like:
<pre class=command>set shell_script to "usr/local/bin/readpst -o " & quoted form of POSIX path of mbox_output & " " & pst_input & " > /dev/null 2>&1 &"</pre> -
Applescript for sending selection as new Mail
Hello. What i'm trying to achieve is adding an option to Safari for getting the selected text and sending it to Mail as the content of a new email message, along with the website's url. The already available action "New Mail Message" is able to do half of what i'm asking: it can send my selection to Mail as the content of a new emal message, but nothing more. I'm trying to compose an Applescript to run from within my Automator Service, but i'm getting an error: *The action "Run AppleScript" encountered an error.*
Any ideas?
Here is a screenshot of my Automator Workflow:
http://tinypic.com/r/2qi2xom/3
*And here is the script i'm using:*
on run {input, parameters}
set myBodyText to value of variable "mySelection" of front workflow
set siteURL to value of variable "mySiteURL" of front workflow
tell application "Mail"
make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"Something Interesting", content:"" & siteURL & myBodyText}
end tell
return input
end runJavascript can return the selected text...
tell application "Safari"
tell document 1
set selected_text to do JavaScript "var txt = '';
if (window.getSelection)
txt = window.getSelection();
else if (document.getSelection)
txt = document.getSelection();
else if (document.selection)
txt = document.selection.createRange().text;
else return;
set siteURL to URL
end tell
end tell

Is it possible to create an Applescript for Mail, that, when an email with a specific subject line arrives in my inbox, an attached photograph would get sent immediately in response to the person who sent the email. The subject lines would vary (e.g., people_1, or, places_16). Every subject line would have a corresponding photo located somewhere on my hard drive (there would be hundreds of possibilities - the catalogue would be concentrated in one place). So, for example, when "places_21" hits my Mail in box, an email would be generated in response, automatically, with a photo (places_21) attached. Thank you! Marcos
Actually, it's not that hard to do, it's just that there are a lot of use cases, and a lot of caveats to consider.
For example, do you intend/expect to work from a predefined list of image file names? Or do you want/expect to react to any filename that's requested?
You say that the files would be 'somewhere on my hard drive'... how does the script know where to look? How does it resolve filename conflicts? What should happen if a file can't be found?
As fane suggests, you should also consider an audit log, so you can see who asked for what, and when, along with errors that occurred on the way.
So it's entirely do-able, just a lot of questions to answer before you get started. -

LIke I said, I sure hope somebody can help me out. Any suggestions would be appreciated. The only thing I could think that might be causing this is the fact that I upgraded to Maverick (Apple OSX) about 2.5 weeks ago. But this problem didn't start until about 3 days ago, so surely that's not the issue. Anyway, figured it was worth mentioning.
Please let me know.
Thank you,
Jamie Richards, a fellow Photoshop addictI found the solution (took forever to consolidate all the answers) for OS X 10.9 + Maverick. Finally!
1. Change permissions (as AOTPR says) to your User/Library/Preferences file so that your admin and user (the one you are using) has read + write permissions within the Get Info pane (command+I). You may have to add them with the sign.
2. Delete Adobe save for web 12.0 Prefs & Adobe save for web 13.0 Prefs files within the User/ Library/ Preferences folder. These may be hidden for some people, so when in a finder window, hold Option(alt) and click Go from the main top menu (keep holding Option/Alt) and click Library — the full Preferences folder should open for you.
3. Change the view when in Save for web pane in PS. If you have it in Cover Flow — it won't work. Change it to another view like List or Columns view.
Presto! Works for me on Maverick.
Thank god. It took forever to get this cleared up!!

How can i set a global error page for all error cod
how can i set a global error page for all error code?
i don't want to leave a long list in the web.xml file.could any one help me?
thanksIf u have a common Error JSP named as ErrorPage.jsp
You need to have the following piece of code in the JSP as :
<%@ page isErrorPage ="true"%>
This makes it as the Common Error Page for the Application. Now all you need to do is from other JSP's throw the Exception to teh container. The container will redirect to this Page and process accordingly.
Thanks and regards,

osmf/trunk/framework/MediaFramework/org/osmf/drm/DRMServices.asWell, I can tell you that this kind of error is not OS related, but rather a HW thing. It happens where there is a general detection of something going wrong. Sometimes it can happen randomly and might not be an indication of a problem. But sometimes it can be caused by things that are improperly functioning within the system like bad capacitors.
Unfortunately I don't really know what to do about such things except give you machine a proper inspection. But if things are working fine, and continue to do so, I wouldn't worry about it. If it becomes a regular occurance, then I'd worry. -
I recieve the following error message when trying to install Quicktime for Windows "Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory." I just trying to get the latest version of iTunes. Thanks
"Error writing to file C:/Program Files/QuickTime/QTSystems/QuickTimeCheck.ocx. Verify that you have access to that directory."
That one's consistent with disk/file damage. The first thing I'd try with that is running a disk check (chkdsk) over your C drive.
XP instructions in the following document: How to perform disk error checking in Windows XP
Select both Automatically fix file system errors and Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors, or use chkdsk /r (depending on which way you decide to go about doing this). You'll almost certainly have to schedule the chkdsk to run on startup. The scan should take quite a while ... if it quits after a few minutes or seconds, something's interfering with the scan.
Does the chkdsk find/repair any damage? If so, can you get an install to go through properly afterwards? -
I keep getting the following error message while sharing my iMovie to iDVD. "Unable to prepare project for publishing" error (-2125). I'm running iMovie 09 v. 8.0.6 on a iMac with OSX v 10.6.8, 2Ghz core duo, 1GB 667 Mhz DDR2 SDRAM. Any ideas why?
That particular error comes up for a number of reasons, sometimes it's the size of the movie you're trying to export. Bengt Wärleby a longtime contributor to the iMovie Discussion Group has advised a number of people on this error code, so I am going to link to his latest advice he's given to anyone trying to export to DVD from iMovie: Bengt's tips for great DVDs.
Specifically, try bypassing Share to iDVD by using Share to Media Browser instead.
In the Share to Media Browser dialog box choose the Large Size.
When(If?) it gets through that process, quit iMovie altogehter then go to iDVD.
Create a new project and click on the Media button near the lower right hand side of the Project Window.
Then click the Movies button in the Browser window just above that.
Under the iMovie star icon you should see the name of the project you shared out from iMovie.
Drag that into the project and burn the DVD.
If it's still to large or you get the same -2125 error code trying to Share using the Medium size instead. But again if you really get stuck consult Bengt Warleby's User tips:

IMovie '09 "Unable to Prepare Project for Publishing" error (-2009)
Please help ! I have just created a small movie in iMovie '09 from imported clips from Sony Handycam with miniDV tapes. All clips imported easily and can be viewed and edited. Though when I try to share the project to iTunes or even export it to my desktop I get the message "Unable to prepare the project for publishing" error (-2009).
I have been searching the forum and the web for an answer or quick fix and I see none, though i do see that many people are having this same issue. I already have all permission set to read & write on all the appropriate folders. I don't know what else to do.....I was hoping to have this project done for a Christmas present for my wife.
Please help .... ! ! !I think I know what was the problem in my case. My project-file wasn´t very large, but I imported all my movies in one single event. After splitting the movies up into different events, I was able to export my project....

Help Needed: Automator Applescript for Folder Action - Encode Video
Hi !
I have created an Automator Applescript for a Folder Action to do the following:
When a new video file is moved to the target folder (i.e. Download of Vuze is done), automatically launch the Applescript Action that does the followin g(Applescripted):
1) Using "run shell script" and FFMPEG on a UNIX command line, determine Width/Height, Framerate, Bitrate
2) Calculate encoding parameters (slightly reduced bitrate, reduced Aspect etc.)
3) Using "run shell script" with ffmpeg on the command line and the calculated parameters to encode the video file
At the same time, the action is written to a log file so I know if a file is recognized, when encoding started etc.
It works fine if I save this Action as an .app, make an alias on the Desktop and drop video files on it.
It also works fine if I attach the script to a folder as a folder action and drag a video file in there.
However, when I attach the script as a folder action to the Vuze download folder, it encodes only some video files, i.e. if there was a download of 5 files, chances are good that it will not encode 1 or 2 files out of those 5.
If for example a second download finishes while the encoding for the first download is still going on, sometimes the second file starts encoding after the first encode finishes, sometimes it does not, the file does not make the log file at all, i.e. the folder action missed it or the automator action dropped it because it was still encoding. Still, sometimes it happens, sometimes not.
As I need a solution that is 100% accurate, I would like to ask if there are any ideas on how to do this better maybe? As I am not an Applescript Guru, I would need some help to know what works and what doesn't and what the syntax is.
My main idea right now:
Similar to how ffmpegX works with its "process" application, have a second script (as .app) that receives the files to be encoded from the automator action and puts them in a queue, then proceeds to encode this queue while the main automator action is free to receive the next file.
Writing this second app is quite straightforward (a modified version of my current script) but I have some questions I need help with:
1) How do I call another applescript from within an existing applescript that launches the new applescript in a new process?
2) How do I pass parameters to this new applescript?
3) In case of this "Queueing" Idea, once I called the external applescript the first time, how do I make sure when I call next time, that I don't open a second instance of this script but rather pass another queue item to the original instance to be processed?
Or in general: Is there a better way to achieve this automatic encoding solution that I have not thought about?
Alternatively:
Does anyone know how to call the "process" application that comes with the ffmpegX package with the correct parameters to use as a queueing / processing tool?
Thanks!

Message was edited by: Joe15000To do this, I created an Automator workflow with an Applescript snippet to change the 'media kind'.
Here is the 'Run Applescript' workflow step code:
on run {input, parameters}
tell application "iTunes"
set video kind of (item 1 of input) to movie
end tell
return input
end run
Prior to this running, I have an 'Import Files into iTunes' workflow step.
You can switch out 'movie' with: 'TV show', 'music video', or anything in ITLibMediaItemMediaKind.
Good luck,
Glenn
