Applescript help needed: Trying to recreate this .bat file...

Uh oh, perhaps I put this in the wrong forum:)
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2611596&tstart=0
thanks!!!

Spaces are used to delimit the commands and terms on the command line, so to use something with a space (or other characters special to the shell) you will need to escape it (by using a backslash in front of the character to escape) or put the term in quotes. Also, in order to pass parameters to the executable (I am guessing that you are passing command line parameters to the game)), you will need to use the path to the executable in the application bundle, otherwise it will get launched as a regular application.
I don't know what the name of the executable is, but it should be located in the Contents/MacOS folder in the bundle (right-click the application and choose Show Package Contents) - you can drag file items to the Terminal window to get a properly escaped path. The command in the Terminal (or an AppleScript do shell script command) would look something like:/Applications/Games/Butt/Battlefield 1942 The Road To Rome/Contents/MacOS/theExecutableName +game XPack2or'Applications/Games/Butt/Battlefield 1942 The Road To Rome/Contents/MacOS/theExecutableName' +game XPack2

HELP! trying to save a photoshop file, getting the message, 'could not save...'

HELP! trying to save a photoshop file -working with CS5 - getting the message, 'could not save xxx because of a programme error' I have tried changing the file name, no difference. Help. A lot of work I don't want to flush away. Thanks Kevin

You may be running on borrowed time. It sounds like something in your OS file system interface has become corrupted.
But some things to try:
1. Save to another local drive/volume, ESPECIALLY if you're trying to save on a network.
2. Choose Image - Duplicate, then try to save on a local drive/volume as a PSD.

Help needed in executing a remote batch file

I need to execute a batch file which is located on a remote machine through my machine. I have no idea to go about with. Please can someone help me out with can be used to execute the remote bat file. I am at present using Runtime.exec() to execute it on my machine.. But i cant use it to execute teh bat file on teh remote machine.Please help

Below is an example server that would run on the remote host. You can connect to it using telnet from DOS prompt, it takes a Y/N to run your command in the cmd variable. I haven't included code for a client as it's really not needed for the example below.
Change the cmd and port variables to what you need. You may need to setup firewall rules to allow your chosen port.
Once it's running, you can test it by using "telnet localhost 1234" on your machine, localhost would obviously become the remote computer's hostname or IP.
I am incredibly new to Java (using the forums to learn bits), so excuse any bad coding practises, I'm sure people will point them out.
Keep in mind that this is totally insecure, so if you're using it on an untrusted network, you may want to look into encryption and providing some kind of password authentication, that, for the moment is out of my league.
Screenshot here.

Enterprising Applescript programmer needed to create a better Find File

This person needs an enterprising Applescript programmer to create a better Find File:
http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1861415
to create a better Find File. I know it is possible to create Applescript interfaces to the Terminal. This is why I'm posting here. I wish I had the time to program it myself.

I don't know, it almost seems like he needs a completely custom application, in which case the sequence of operations need to be spelled out in fine detail. There are several really good utilities listed in that thread, but each one of them was nitpicked to death. I don't have a problem with Spotlight (or the shell scripts for that matter), so maybe it is just me.

Urgent help needed, can I restore N900 Backup file...

i owned a N900 (now sold out)
before selling i took backup of contacts from backup restore option in application section
now i bought a N8 but i m not able to restore my contacts
1. is there any way to restore them in N8?
2. if not, can i convert them in TEXT or any readable format
urgent help needed
thanks in advance

The backup procedures built into the phone are only designed for restoring to the same phone (ie: in case or data corruption, software update or repair etc.), they can't usually be used to restore to a phone with a different operating system.
You should have backed up with Ovi Suite before selling the N900, that would have been able to restore to the N8.

Automator/applescript help needed

Basically I want to use automator and/or applescript to create a script that will add my current MAC address to a text file i specify (in the script) and then have a popup to enter a new one that also gets logged in the text file and then it changes to the new one. I need a way to paste the contents of the clipboard in to a terminal command. How can I do that?

Note that Discussions has dedicated AppleScript & UNIX forums in Support > Discussions > Mac OS X Technologies & an Automator one in Support > Discussions > Mac OS X v10.5 Leopard. These would be better places to post if you are looking for detailed help with this.
That said, take a peek at the man page for pbcopy, which provides Terminal access to the Mac clipboard. The "See Also" section has references to developer info for working with the clipboard.

AppleScript Help Needed

Hi:
I need a little help with AppleScript.
I created an AppleScript application to copy some files to a LAN disk that I always have mounted. The application works fine, except that it creates some sort of a lock that prevents me from doing other work with the Finder until the copy process is completed.
If anyone has any ideas for disabling this lock, please let me know. I have included the source code of my script below.
Thanks,

More issues with 7.4.1 & 7.4.2 - help needed : tried the usual fixes.....

I have the dual band 2.4 or 5GHz model AEBS, Belkin powered 4 port hub, Canon IP1600 printer, 40GB & 120 GB HFS+ USB drives. Win 7 64bit & XP machines.
I only 2 weeks ago did the FW upgrade.
With prior to these 2 FW's, i had issues with my printer not printing the whole page, it would always cut mid last line and then freeze. Had to cycle the printer to get the page out. It would not necessarily print the 2nd time either. The HDD's going through a hub worked fine. I updated to 7.4.1 hoping that would fix the printer issue, it did not. I then began getting "disk repair needed" on both HDD's over the next week; culminating upon both HD's going corrupt.
I reformatted both and moved all my music/movies back, and all was good for a week. Then today, turned both drives on at different times, and both need disc repair again.
So i unplugged them and hooked them up to my Linux Mint rig, and there was no apparent corruption, and all the files were playable.
SO I updated to 7.4.2 tonight, and the printer issue is still happening. BUT the 2 HDD are just fine now, after the update....so this leads me to think there was/is an issue with the router? Oh, i tried to directly plug the HDD into the router as well b4 the most recent update but still disc needs repair....of course they have been working fine for the last 2 hours...
Anyone have any ideas? Im ready to pull my hair out...Thanks in advance.

Hey Chris, thanks for responding, in my above post I mentioned my troubleshooting:
Since updating my iPhone 5S (T-Mobile) to both 8.0.1 and then 8.0.2 I've had more issues than I've ever had with any iOS in the past (with the exception of iPhone 4 running iOS 7, but clearly that is an older phone, not a 1 year old model like the 5S). Have tried resetting, powering off, etc too by the way.

Help needed trying make thumbnails from large Image Files

I posted this to the Flex message bored, too. I didn't notice
the Actionscript 3.0 until after. Sorry. Anyway, I have some
ActionScript 3.0 code, created with Flex that will load a large
JPEG image (say 3000x2000 pixels) that I'm trying to create a 100
pixel thumbnail. I have the code working where I generate the
thumbnail, but it's not maintaining the aspect ratio of the
original image. It's making it square, filling in white for the
part that doesn't fit.
I've tried just setting the height or width of the new
image, but that doesnt render well, either.
To see what I'm talking about, I made a screen shot, showing
the before image, and the rendered as thumbnail image:
Image of demo
app at Flickr.
Now, there's a few things important to note. I'm saving the
thumbnail off as a JPEG. As you can see in my sample application,
the original renders fine with the proper aspect ratio, it's when
I'm copying the bytes off the bitmapdata object, where I need to
specify a width and height, that the trouble starts. I've also
tried using .contentHeight and .contentWidth and some division to
manually specify a new bitmapdatasize, but these values seem to
always have NaN.
private function makeThumbnail():void{
// create a thumbnail of 100x100 pixels of a large file
// What I want to create is a a thumbnail with the longest
size of the aspect
// ratio to be 100 pixels.
var img:Image = new Image();
//Add this event listener because we cant copy the
BitmapData from an
/// image until it is loaded.
img.addEventListener(FlexEvent.UPDATE_COMPLETE,
imageLoaded);
img.width=100;
img.height=100;
img.scaleContent=true;
img.visible = true;
// This is the image we want to make a thumbnail of.
img.load("file:///C:/T5.jpg");
img.id = "testImage";
this.addChildAt(img, 0);
private function imageLoaded(event:Event):void
// Grab the bitmap image from the Input Image and
var bmd:BitmapData =
getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(UIComponent(event.target));
//Render the new thumbnail in the UI to see what it looks
theImage.source = new Bitmap(bmd); //new Bitmap(bmd);
public static function
getBitmapDataFromUIComponent(component:UIComponent):BitmapData
var bmd:BitmapData = new
BitmapData(component.width,component.height );
bmd.draw(component);
return bmd;
}

Hi Tod,
Take a look at this post:
I'll have to say the smoothing of the thumb is not perfect, but maybe in combination with your code.. you get good results.

Trying to recreate this graphic in Fireworks CS3

Hello folks, I'm a newbie at Fireworks and so I'm having a
bit of trouble figure out how to recreate a similar graphic to
this, with the curved lines that are thicker on one end and curve
into a point. Here's the graphic:
http://moretech.us.com/wp-content/themes/premiumnews/images/ennergi_swishes.gif
Could anyone give me a quick primer, or possibly even direct
me to a tutorial, that will explain how to make this?
Thanks!

Alex is right, you should learn to use the pen tool for
projects like
this... but there is a shortcut that will work pretty well
for this
particular image...
open teh gif in FW
use teh magic wand to select one of the three sections of
color
choose select->convert to paths
repeat for the other two shapes

Help needed - trying to programatically change a report

I want to write a VB program that can open a crystal 2008 report, change the size of 1 field, add a text box, and save the report.
I can open the report, change a field size, and save it, but I don't know how to add an object.
There is no add method for the reportobjects collection.
Any hints / ideas / sample code?

Help! Trying to get a Video File off a DVD so I can use it in Final Cut Pro

Okay. I'm trying to cut together a project and I need the video and audio off a short DVD. The DVD is under 5 minutes in length and is not copy right protected. For the life of me I cannot understand how to convert the files off the DVD to something I can work with. When I open the DVD I have 2 files: 1) AUDIO_TS and 2) VIDEO_TS. I would like to convert these to something FCP can understand (AVI, MPEG...anything). I have searched and searched the message boards and have found no useful information. I have a feeling it's something to do with Disk Utility but have found no clear instructions. Half the sites want you to buy their software. Surely there is some way to do this without buying additional software. Any help would be greatly apppreciated.

There are four ways that I know of:
1) Play the DVD and have the player's analog outputs connected to your DV VCR or camcorder, which then acts as a convertor to bring it into FCP
2) MPEG StreamClip - FREE, rips the video and audio from the VIDEO_TS folder
3) DVDxDV - $20 or so, does the same thing as MPEG-Streamclip only a little easier, IMO
4) Cinematize - $70, same thing, more options
