Applescript needed for iCal
I'm looking for an Applescript that will create a report of my calendar's events for the current month and put that data into an Evernote note. Does anyone know where I could get one? Does anyone know how to do that or create that script?
Try something like the following
set theReplyTo to extract name from reply to of theMessage
set theReplyToAddress to extract address from reply to of theMessage
Note: It looks like it will automatically use the From address if there is no Reply-To header line. If the Reply-To line has now name to go with the address then the name seems to be filled in with the Reply-to address.

AppleScript Needed for reply-to heading replys
I need help editing this script to reply to multiple emails I get from PayPal that will reply to the email's Reply-To Heading, not the From Heading, which of course is PayPal.
This script works for everything but replying to the return path (Reply-To) address.
Thank you in advance:
set thesenders to {}
set thesenderstext to ""
tell application "Mail"
set themessage to the selection
repeat with i from 1 to the number of items in themessage
set thesender to (extract address from (the sender of (item i of themessage)))
if thesenders does not contain thesender then
set thesenders to thesenders & {thesender}
end if
set the was replied to of (item i of the themessage) to true
end repeat
set AppleScript's text item delimiters to ", "
set thesenderstext to thesenders as rich text

Trying to find URL for iCal version downloads.
Need to verify correct version of iCal for recent upgrade to OS 10.6.8.
Current version of iCal is 4.0.4.
Would prefer web address for downloads and not just a: "You've got the right version" "You need to download to" type of response to thread entry.
Reason: iCal is spazing and duplicating current entrys on iPhone 4S iOS 6.3, and Quadrupeling and more current entrys as well as notifying me of calendar events that occurred seven years ago (random years) on my laptop running OS 10.6.8.
Thinking that an update to iCal might be cure to refresh iCloud web address syncing and correct crazy notifications and doubling and tripling.. of iCal entrys.
Thanks for the help, much appreciated.4.0.4 is the version of iCal for 10.6.8. You could try downloading and applying the combo updater for 10.6.8 -
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
However Snow Leopard is not compatible with iCloud, so if you are somehow managing to make iCal sync with it it's a fudge and likely not to be reliable. Also, if you are syncing with iCloud you must avoid also trying to sync using iTunes - mixing two syncing methods is a quick way to problems.
If your Mac is capable of upgrading to Lion or Mountain LIon that would give you proper access to iCloud and a higher version of iCal.
The requirements for Lion are:
Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
2GB of memory
OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
7GB of available space
To purchase it you will have to ring Apple at the number given at the bottom left of this page.
The requirements for Mountain Lion are listed here:
http://www.apple.com/osx/specs/
It is available from the Mac App Store (in Applications). (If you are currently pre-Snow Leopard you will have to upgrade to that to access the Mac App Store: it's available in the online Apple Store.)
You should be aware that PPC programs (such as AppleWorks) will not run on Lion or above; and some other applications may not be compatible - there is a useful compatibility checklist at http://roaringapps.com/apps:table -
Using applescript to get iCal to open a file
I'm trying to use AppleScript to get iCal to open a Word doc at a specified date/time.
As a complete novice to AppleScript, I'm sure I have misunderstood how the syntax and grammar of the language work. Would you please advise me how to change this script --
set filepath to POSIX path of "Microsoft Word:Users:mtmanner:Documents:Family JY & Friends:Craig:Craigs Goals:Socializing:Being with people.doc"
try
set command to "open Users/mtmanner/Documents/Family JY & Friends:Craig/Craigs Goals/Socializing/Being with people.doc"
do shell script command
end try
Thanks for your help.There is a useful book called 'AppleScript for Dummies'. Don't be put of by the irritating title: it's actually quite sensibly written and informative (just ignore the occasional facetiousness designed not to frighten nervous readers off). When I was looking for a manual the other books available were much more expensive; I've found this one covers most requirements.
We had three weeks of heatwave: not it's gone unsettled again with rain (which we needed) and temperatures up and down loke the proverbial yo-yo - typical British summer, in other words. -
Hi--
I'm about ready to give up on Office and switch to iWork, but the one feature that is (perhaps stupidly) holding me back is Entourage's brilliant "My Day" widget:
<http://www.microsoft.com/mac/products/entourage2008/default.mspx#/my_day/>
Is there something out there for iCal that will display my upcoming calendar events and undone tasks in a single, concise window? I need something that will "live" at the edge of my screen and won't require me to switch applications to see what's coming next on my calendar....
Thanks for any tips/recommendations!{quote}Entourage's brilliant "My Day" widget{quote}
Yes, I love it too. There is an app called Today that is pretty much a copy of My Day http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/27366/today . The only thing stopping me from buying it is I forbid myself from rewarding copycat developers. -
AppleScript: Waiting for a user to enter user name and password
I'm currently working on an AppleScript designed to automate binding a computer to Active Directory and another script to install a login certificate. While you can create a UNIX shell script for the Active Directory binding, I found that you have to have your user name and password in the script itself and this system will be deployed by multiple people.
So instead I'm doing an GUI Automation AppleScript of Directory Utility. What I'd like to do is have the script to wait for the admin user (who will be remoting in by ARD) to enter their Network user and password, click okay and then continue the script to quit the program and then run a self-destruct (which I'd also appreciate any advice about doing in AppleScript)
Here's the script so far, which I've set up successfully:
activate application "Directory Utility"
tell application "System Events"
click text field 1 of row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of group 1 of group 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
click button 1 of group 1 of group 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
click text field 2 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
keystroke "EXAMPLE.COMPANY.com"

click checkbox "Allow administration by:" of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
click button 1 of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
click row 1 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"

click row 4 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
keystroke "GroupExampleTeam 1"
click button 1 of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"

click row 8 of table 1 of scroll area 1 of tab group 1 of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility"
keystroke "GroupExampleDomain Admins"
click button "Bind…" of sheet 1 of window "Directory Utility" of application process "Directory Utility
<<WAIT LINE HERE FOR NETWORK ADMIN AND AND PASS, THEN USER WILL CLICK OKAY, THEN CONTINUE SCRIPT>>
<<QUIT ACTIVE DIRECTORY>>
<<SELF-DESTRUCT>>
end tell
It isn't a real command prompt like if you're changing System Preferences or something. It's a specialized prompt specifically for Directory Utility. However, I do need to know how to make AppleScript wait for a password for a standard Password Prompt for adding a certificate to the login keychain through Keychain Access. I've also done pretty much the same thing as above for that script.
Any tips would be GREATLY appreciated.Yeah, I know GUI Scripting is not the best way, but I couldn't find a successful variable system for the following script. The other issue is that I'd prefer to send this by ARD and have ARD ask for a User Name and Password, but I've found there's no way to do that. Then again, I can't send the AppleScript purely remotely either.
What I mean by self-destruct is simply I only want the Active Directory binding script to run once upon login to the primary admin user and then delete itself so it doesn't get run again. The login certificate script I want to run once on each new user who logs in (so I'll likely be putting it in the "User Template") and then delete itself so it doesn't run the next time they log in. I can't figure out any way to hit those buttons through a shell script.
Here's the original UNIX shell script: (This is what I'm using temporarily until I figure out a solution that doesn't require my user name and password to be embedded)
#! /bin/bash
MACNAME=$(scutil --get ComputerName)
dsconfigad -add "CORP.DOMAIN.NET" \
-username USER \
-password PASS \
-computer $MACNAME \
-mobile disable \
-mobileconfirm disable \
-localhome enable \
-useuncpath enable \
-shell /bin/bash \
-ou OU=Macs,CN=Computers,DC=corp,DC=DOMAIN,DC=net \
-force \
-localpassword "PASSWORD" \
-groups "GROUPS"
And here is the Certificate Installation AppleScript
activate application "Keychain Access"
tell application "Finder" to open POSIX file "/FolderName/Certificate.crt"
delay (3)
tell application "System Events" to tell process "Keychain Access"
click button "Add" of window "Add Certificates"
click button "Always Trust" of group 3 of sheet 1 of window "Keychain Access"
end tell
Thanks for the help. I really appreciate it. This is a rather new field for me and most of my knowledge comes from Google Searches and about a billion tabs trying to find answers. -
Server settings for iCal push?
How to get iCal to push from server to computers running os x 10.6?
You need to use the search function for this question in this forum. There are many many threads on how to get this running.
First - download and read all the Apple SLS server docs.
Second - run by Barnes and Noble and pick up a copy of SLS - Developer Reference. (I have no affiliation)
Concerning the iPhone.
Forget it.
'nuff said on that one...
Edit: After reading this again, it appeared to me that I was sounding like an a$$. Sorry. It was not intended that way.
However, the forum does have numerous threads on how to get push working for iCal on 10.6 clients. It does work and it works quite well for me on my network. Pay particular attention to the order you setup your SLS. DNS must function without errors. You must have an OD master to authenticate users against. Mail services must be enabled to use external invites.
Alot of these services rely on web based protocols and it's "push" features are built around XMPP PubSub protocol which means you must have a working iChat server configured and running and web services running. SSL is needed for most of it.
If you are new to SLS (or Mac server in general) it is worth every single penny of $25 for one month of lynda.com. They have a few Mac OS Server lessons in their library.
As for the iphone - please don't start this one again. It doesn't work. There is no built in OTA sync service agent in the iphone OS. Wait for iPhone 4.0 like the rest of us.

Switching to Google advice for iCal and Contacts (throwing in the towel with iCloud)
hi all.
moved back to mac about four or five years ago. i have a Mac Pro (Lion), MBP (Mavericks) and an iPhone (iOS7).
ca anyone help me with steps on how to get my Calendar and my Contacts to Google and whether there are any desktop or iPhone based apps to manage this so i don't have to login via a web browser when i need to access this information?
i have to travel soon and the inability for iCal to carry appointments across time zones is a problem for me and my Contacts seem reliably get corrupted via MobileMe/iCloud. it is /not/ fun to see duplicated contacts all the time as well as mashed up contacts (email addresses for some people in the contact for someone else's name etc.).
anyway, i would really love it if someone could help me with url's or links or even just explanations of their personal experience moving everything to google.
also, any suggestions on companion apps (such as sunrise app would be really welcome).

Hi all,
I've had a less than stellar experience with 10.6 due to the amount of 3rd party software packages I use that simply don't work well, if at all. I'd like to roll back to my 10.5 installation and wait until the software I use is more stable since my MBP is my work machine and needs to perform flawlessly. The issue is I can't remember when I installed 10.6
TM already did that for you. When you're setting-up the full restore (see item #14 in the Frequently Asked Questions *User Tip* ), the list of backups will include both the data & time (in *U.S. Pacific Time),* plus the OSX version of each backup. -
Please don' make us wait... it's time for ICAL iPhone task integration
With many app developers having great success with task/to do list, isn't time (or way past time) for Apple to allow tasks, via iCal, to flow to the iPhone and push technology to prompt users of important things to do, at a certain time? I am very busy like many other mac users, and I don't want to litter my calendar with many, time sensitive, todos. Beside,s other to-do apps would be able to offer customers up to date functionality with iCal task support.
Please don't make us wait any longer.

Please, can Apple give explanations about dropping Applescript support for Pages 13!!??? It is paramount, please do something to fix it asap!!!
You might want to check your firmware version. Go to: Settings>General>About. Look at the version field, it should be: 5.0.1(9A406). If it's 9A405 you need to update the firmware by connecting your phones to iTunes and updating it. This worked for me as I work on a ship and don't have a signal inside. I was having to do your little trick many times during the day when I would go outside to check for messages.

Tungsten T5 iSync, HotSync, Missing Sync for iCal, Mail and Address Book
I have just been given an old Palm Tungsten T5 and have been looking at the various options available to make it do what I need with regard to syncing it with my G5 PPC iMac with 10.4.11.
I use the T5 only when I am away (from the iMac) and travelling and would like a set- up that allows me to sync, in this order of priority:
iCal, including annual events such as birthdays, and differently colour-coded calendars and, if possible, to dos although these are less important
Mail
Address Book, in which I really only have e-mail addresses
According to some old threads on the subject, Missing Sync appears to be the program of choice for syncing iCal and Address Book, but not Mail. Instead there appears to be something called Mail.App Conduit 2.0.1 requiring at least Palm Desktop 4, and presumably HotSync.
Is there a single program that will sync all three of these Mac applications effectively? If not, am I going to have to (buy and install and then) uninstall Missing Sync and Palm Desktop (or HotsSync) alternately?
Is iSync a real option?
Or is there some clever way of using one or more programs to start with and then switch over to just one?
I would be grateful for any advice as to how to deal with this. Thank you.
NickI don't know if you can do this with the Centro. I should have mention that I was talking about webOS (Pre and Pixi). To sync with webOS you need Mac OS 10.5 or later for iCal, and 10.6 for Address Book.

What are the basic sync settings for ical
I was successful in having my icloud mail account sync with my windows phone, the nokia lumia 800, and this works beautifully. found the settings necessary to make it work. I wonder if there is a place to find settings for ical such as webdav or such other thing so that I can arrive at the same result with ical updating and syncing with the lumia 800. it has to be possible!!
Welcome to the forum.
The good news is that if you have PrPro CS 6, you do not need to gather all the full specs. of your footage for the creation of a Sequence. Just Import the Clips, grab the first one, and drag it to the New Icon, at the bottom of your Project Panel.
To find the full specs., just so that you will know, you can also download and install MeidaInfo (PC), or Media Inspector (Mac).
Good luck,

No virtual host found for iCal service
Hi all,
I recently created a link aggregation for our xserve, in doing this i needed to demote my open directory to standalone and then promote it back to master (archive and install users).
In doing this it appears that iCal has spat the dummy, in that our users could not connect. I turned iCal off and on in the hope that this correct it, however when trying to turn back on I get the error "No virtual host found for iCal service..."
Check host name reveals that names match.
Any ideas guys, I'm happy to fully restart iCal (events are backed up), however I can't even get it started yet!
Thanks,

Strange behavior for iCal alarms
To run an AppleScript from an iCal alarm you do the following:
In Automator, create a Calendar Alarm
Select Utilities from the library pane
Select & drag Run AppleScript into the workflow area
Copy/paste an AppleScript into the Run AppleScript box
Save the newly created Calendar Alarm with name (e.g. ArchNew)
This will open the Automator Calendar in iCal
Edit the Date/Time/Repeat/...... as you want as shown in the example below
The resulting AppleScript will be stored here
/Users/<user_acct>/Library/Workflows/Applications/Calendar/ArchNew.app
Now the problem
If at a later time you want to modify the AppleScript ArchNew.app using the AppleScript Editor, it will break the binding between the iCal alarm and the AppleScript ArchNew.app
The only way I've been able to do this is delete the file
/Users/<user_acct>/Library/Workflows/Applications/Calendar/ArchNew.app
and then go back to #1 above and repeat the whole process with the modified AppleScript.
Does anyone know why the simple approach of directly editing and saving the changes to the AppleScript ArchNew.app doesn't work?You still haven't provided your 4 digit Oracle version or the TABLE and INDEX DDL.
Your 'problem' could be nothing more than DEFERRED SEGMENT creation where Oracle doesn't allocate space until the first data is added for that segment.
See 'Understanding Deferred Segment Creation' in the DBA Guide
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e25494/tables002.htm#CHDGJAGB
>
Understand Deferred Segment Creation
Beginning with Oracle Database 11g Release 2, when you create heap-organized tables in a locally managed tablespace, the database defers table segment creation until the first row is inserted.
In addition, segment creation is deferred for any LOB columns of the table, any indexes created implicitly as part of table creation, and any indexes subsequently explicitly created on the table.
Note:
In Release 11.2.0.1, deferred segment creation is not supported for partitioned tables. This restriction is removed in release 11.2.0.2 and later.

That is why it is MANDATORY that posters provide their 4 digit Oracle versions. There are too many features that depend on the version being used.
