AppleScript Studio/Xcode problem - Problem with text entries! Please help!

Hey, I've been up for hours each night looking for solutions to this but still have had no luck.
I am creating an app in Xcode/Applescript studio that will ask you to enter how many times you would like system events to repeat a certain keystroke. First of all, the code would look something like this:
on click theObject
If the name of theObject is equal to "myApplication" then
(Right here would be where the variables representing text in an input in the app's window would be, which I have absolutely no clue what to type.)
tell application "text edit"
activate
tell application "system events"
keystroke x (x representing a variable)
end tell
end tell
end clicked
and that's about as far as I can get. I want a variable representing the text in the main text entry box, but I have no clue how to access that text, or even know if it's submitted or detected when I hit a button. Hopefully you're following, as I am way to confused to fully explain it, but please try and help me out if you can.

Hi Kamprath445,
Though this mentions iTunes, I think it has good examples you can use...

I'm a newbie and I worry that I will have problem(s) with billing. Please help me.

I'm a foreigner in Korea, a place which is a bit unfriendly with Apple.
I just got my iPad, 3 days ago, put in my Master Card No. (through the computer) and I decided to buy an app in the computer's iTunes. Unfortunately, I had purchased/bought and downloaded an iPhone app (my dumbness!) and I can't use it. When I check my account in the iPad, it says there that I have no Banking information at all.
I'm worried cause when I checked my iTunes in the computer, my banking account was gone. Also, there is no any deduction on my bank figures.
Do you have any idea regarding my case? Please help me.

That majority of iPhone-apps can be used on iPads, it's those that require full-phone capability that aren't compatible (and potentially if you don't have the relevant iOS version on your iPad) - an app's requirements (including the devices that it's compatible with) should be listed on its description page in the store. If it is compatible then you can redownload it (as long as it's still in the store) via the Purchased tab in the App Store app on your iPad.
After downloading the app on your computer's iTunes you didn't then remove your payment details, and the app was a paid-for app (it didn't have 'get' against it in the store, which would mean that it was free to download) ? Does it show on your account's purchase history as paid-for or free : See your purchase history in the iTunes Store - Apple Support ?
If it was a paid-for app then it can take a few days for the purchase to show on a credit card. And if iTunes wasn't able to collect the money for it then does anything show on the payment details screen that you owe money - or the next time that you try to download anything you will get a message along the lines of 'there was a problem with previous purchase' if you owe iTunes money.

File error for improperly inserted or defective desk when using Word with text boxes PLEASE HELP!

When I have a Word document opened that contains around 10 text boxes, I get..."A file error has occurred. Check your network connections or make sure the disk is properly inserted and not defective" causing the program to either quit automatically or freeze and require me to manually shut my computer down. This will occur about every 15 minutes and only when I am on a document with numerous text boxes. Also, I do copy and paste the text boxes from file to file and change the text accordingly.
Operating System - Mac OSX 10.8.5
Microsoft Word 2011 - Version 14.4.5
File sizes - around 190 KB
I have turned off track changes and smart cut and paste options, checked for duplicate fonts (none), verified both the Macintosh HD and Apple HDD Media disks (both said the disks were fine so I did not repair either). My husband mentioned something about allocating the working memory space of Word but not sure how that is done (and he is on Team PC ). PLEASE HELP!!!

Apple will exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for $199 for 64 GB 4G and $99 for the other 4Gs. They do not fix yours.

In my iPad 2 with IO6 today I can not send emails from my gmail account, they go to the outbox directly...why? How can i solve this problem? ..I restarted the IPad but the problem was not solved. Please help.

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you use MobileMe/ iCloud or another server based sync solution like Google or Yahoo?
4. Do other changes to synced information like Address Book content sync successfully back and forth?
Based on your description it sounds like you have a 1 way sync issue. Events sync fine between the iOS devices and fine from the computer to the iOS devices but not from the iOS devices to the computer.
Try:
Backup your computer and iOS devices before doing anything else:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766
Ensure all the devices in use are fully up to date: Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update
Make separate backups of critical data:
Backup your computer Addressbook: http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=AddressBook/4.0/en/ad961.html
Backup your computer iCal: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2966
Reset syncing on your Mac: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1627
Reply back if that does not resolve your issue.
Hope that helps.

Calendar on iOS 7. Anyone noticed that when you enter text into the "notes section" of a day, the text disappears behind the keyboard rather than scrolling down to keep pace with text entry ? Looks like an 7 glitch to me ?

I was able to use the findmyiphone app last week, but now I have been getting an error message "Can't load findmyiphone. There was a problem loading the application." please help as we are trying to locate an ipod with pics of a no deceased loved one.

Had the same problem and the same message -- was suddenly unable to access icloud apps on my pc, also using Windows 7 and Internet Explorer. After several days of pulling my hair out, decided to try a different browser and was able to get in by using Firefox instead of Internet Explorer. Hope this helps.

Applescript Studio/Xcode Tutorials

I'm a big applescripter, and just recently i learned about applescript studio in xcode. I downloaded xcode 3.2.6 and started having fun, but immediately found i was limited by obj-C (i know precious little). So i've been searching for a good bunch of applescript studio/xcode tutorials, but everything i find is for an older version of xcode! If any of you have seen anything for xcode 3.2.6, it would be greatly appreciated!

AppleScript Studio is the old framework, and is deprecated in Snow Leopard (you can still use it if you really want to, though). AppleScriptObjC is the new framework, and although you don't need to know Objective-C, it helps a bit to be able to read it, since most of the Cocoa documentation uses it (since ASOC calls Cocoa methods directly, Apple expects you to just use the existing documentation).
There is an AppleScriptObjC in Xcode tutorial at MacScripter, and Shane Stanley has an excellent e-book available at Mac OS X Automation that will get you up to speed fairly quickly - definitely worth the investment.
I also have a few example projects and references on my AppleScriptObjC web page that have been gathered from my various wanderings (there are also a couple of conversion examples from AS Studio and Obj-C).

PLEASE CAN U GIVE ME EXACT CODE FOR CHANGES TO BE MADE IN THIS BADI ..AS IT IS NOT WORKING...
Can anybody help me regarding how to debug the BADI in R3.
Thanks in Advance...

Hi Ravi,
You can transfer the standard SRM catalog ID field to R/3 tracking number field (if not already used for another purpose) in the R/3 PO.
This will avoid to implement the R/3 inbound bapi.
Here is an extract of the code.
The ECS PO badi example was here used to transfer the unlimited delivery flag to R/3 PO for a Z combination of criteria as well as the transfer of <b>catalog ID</b> to <b>tracking number field</b> in R/3 PO :
method IF_EX_BBP_ECS_PO_OUT_BADI~BBP_B46B_PO_OUTBOUND.
update unlimited delivery flag in R3 PO for combination of vendor +
Product Category maintained in the bespoke table ZUD_PC_VNDR ..
LOOP AT ct_bapi_poitem INTO ls_bapi_poitem.
    lv_tabix = sy-tabix.
    IF ls_bapi_poitem-po_item IS NOT INITIAL.
      READ TABLE it_item INTO ls_item
           WITH KEY number_int = ls_bapi_poitem-po_item
                      del_ind    = ' '.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
Set Unlimited delivery Flag
        read table li_zud_pc_vndr into ls_zud_pc_vndr
                        with key partner       = ls_partner-PARTNER_ID
                                   category_id = ls_item-category_id.
        if sy-subrc eq 0.
          ls_bapi_poitem-UNLIMITED_DLV = 'X'.
        endif.
Set the Dummy catalog.. entry..
        if ls_item-catalogid eq c_dummy.
          ls_bapi_poitem-TRACKINGNO = c_noncat.
        endif.
        ls_bapi_poitem-GR_BASEDIV = ' '.
        modify ct_bapi_poitem from ls_bapi_poitem index lv_tabix
                      transporting UNLIMITED_DLV TRACKINGNO GR_BASEDIV.
      ENDIF. "READ TABLE it_item ..
    ENDIF.   "IF ls_bapi_poitem-po_item ..
