AppleScript to call a Photoshop Script: what am I doing wrong?

Hi All.
I'm using AppleScript to try and call a photoshop Java script stored in my *** project.
The basic set up is:
Tell Application Photoshop CS3
set myscript to POSIX path of ((path to me as Unicode text) & "Contents:Resources:Equipment_ProductSilosthumb.js")
do javascript myscript
end tell
when i try and run the script i get the following error
- Error 25: Expected: ;.
Line: 1
-> /Users/amannone/Production Tools CS3/build/Debug/Production Tools.app/Contents/Resources/Equipment_ProductSilosthumb.js (8800)
If i embed the script in the apple script it will work ok.
ie do javascript "insert js code here"
What am I doing wrong?
Software: Adobe CS3 Extended, Mac OS X 10.5, Xcode 3
Thank for the help.

Your description of the issue is not clear:
What format, bit depth and color was your original file "from the net"? It sounds like it was a Color Indexed GIF, which would cause what you are describing.
In the Macintosh Finder, select said "net image" and do a Get Info on it (Command+i). When the Info box appears in the Finder, take a screen shot and upload it here by using the little camera icon in the Reply Editor in the forum's web interface.
If the image is a 256-color GIF, remember the rule: GIGO = garbage in, garbage out.

[SOLVED] SSH Log check script, what am i doing wrong?

wow linux, you never cease to amaze me
cat /var/log/auth.log | grep -vP "(209\.94\.131.\65|216\.204\.172\.218)" | grep Accepted | awk '{ print $1, $2, $11 }'
--- the rest is immaterial --
disclaimer: i am a horrible scripter; i'm just learning; there's probably a better way to do this
what i'm trying to do: cat through /var/log/auth.log for accepted ssh connections, filter out my home and work ip's, place any filtered ip's in a log file with date.
i'm having some trouble when checking for inequality between two ip strings (xx.xx.xx.xx). this script:
#!/bin/bash
homeip=`whatismyip`
workip="216.204.172.218"
log=${HOME}/Documents/ssh_log
logip=`cat /var/log/auth.log |
\grep Accepted.*patrick |
\awk '{ print $11 }'`
if [ "$logip" != "$homeip" ]; then
if [ "$logip" != "$workip" ]; then
echo -e "$logip \n"
#cat /var/log/auth.log | grep "$logip" | awk '{ print $1 " " $2 " " $11 }' > $log
fi
fi
echo Home\:\ $homeip
echo Work\:\ $workip
exit 0
outputs this:

i have it just echoing the ip's it finds in the log, then showing which ones _should've_ been filtered out, to debug.
what gives?
i'm sure it's trivial, any help would be appreciated.

pointone,
yes, you're exactly right, i was thinking one grepped line at a time, not the whole string... that'll require a rewrite
rson,
grep -vP and awk should do what i want w/o any scripting required... think i'd learn by now, RTFM right?

Help with a script (what am I doing wrong)

tell application "Finder"
set theFolder to (choose folder with prompt "choose the user folder") as Unicode text
set newFolder to make new folder at theFolder as Unicode text with properties {name:"test folder"}
set targetFolder to newFolder

end tell
error "Can’t get entire contents of \"Macintosh HD:Users:username:Library:Preferences\"." number -1728 from «class ects» of "Macintosh HD:Users:username:Library:Preferences"
also I would like the new folder in Library not user folder

I had some time to give the connected volume stuff another look, so I tweaked the script a little. This latest version will handle getting the users from local or connected volumes as well as connected accounts. I threw in some labels in the choice dialog so you can see what the volumes are, and changed the time stamp a little to avoid using either the POSIX or Finder path delimiters.

Hi, Mylenium,
Thanks for your prompt reply, I'm afraid it hasn't helped. I don't see anything wrong in my device manager.
I have also gone and updated every driver, especially the motherboard chipset and the Sata Intel Rapid Storage Technology driver.
Unfortunately, this hasn't made any difference.
Any other suggestions?
Many thanks in advance!

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

I am trying to print a color photo on my MacBook Pro from iPhoto (not using Photoshop) using Epson 2200 printer, and everything I do in the Color Matching and Print Settings results in a photo with a pink cast to it. What am I doing wrong?

Have you checked the ink cartridges and made sure the nozzles are clear? Are you able to print from outside of iPhoto with the correct color?
Try the following: make temporary copy of the library and do the following:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home()/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete iPhoto's cache file, Cache.db, that is located in your
User/Home()/Library/Caches/com.apple.iPhoto folder.
3 - launch iPhoto and try again.
NOTE: If you're moved your library from its default location in your Home/Pictures folder you will have to point iPhoto to its new location when you next open iPhoto by holding down the Option key when launching iPhoto. You'll also have to reset the iPhoto's various preferences.

In Aperture using the external photo editor Adobe photoshop elements 10 editor. My photo will not come back to aperture unless the photo is saved on the desktop and then imported back to Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Using Adobe Photoshop Elements 10 Editor as external editor in Aperture. The issue is once i make the changes in Photoshop it request that I save (use tiff) and the photo is not update in Aperture. What am I doing wrong?

Marianne,
how do you save? Photoshop Elements can save either versions or overwrite the original file, afaik.
You need to set the save preferences, so that it will write to the original file and not write a version. Also the filename extension should be "tiff" and not the default "tif" (I think you did that already).

Help, i am trying to print my JPEG file that i created in photoshop at a photo lab but it is coming out like an X-ray. I have printed these files before so i have no idea what i am doing wrong.
Could it be something i have done in my settings?
or when i am saving the file to JPEG?

Basically you're approaching this the wrong way around. What you need is the extreme sections to be quieter, not louder. The problem with moving the lower end of the audio is that you'll move the noise floor too, and get what's generally referred to as a 'pumping' effect. So what you do is to use a compressor to tame the peaks, and leave the lower level sound alone. When you've done that, you amplify (or normalize to a level you can determine) the whole signal. So the noise floor will be higher, but constant and not pumping. 'Match Volume' is a completely different tool for setting the overall levels of different tracks so that they sound approximately the same - it doesn't even begin to do what you want.
If it's music you are treating, then I'd almost certainly use the multiband compressor, because you get less artefacts with this. You need to experiment with the threshold levels, and almost certainly not use a massive compression ratio - 3:1 or 4:1 should be sufficient (although it's hard to tell without actually hearing the audio). You can tell what it's doing at any given point because the downward meter indicates how hard it's working. In theory you can apply make-up gain with it as well, but personally I leave that until everything's treated and use the 'Normalize' tool to set an absolute max level.

I can't facetime with anyone, it starts the call and ends it immediately on its own. Any suggestions on what I am doing wrong?

This procedure is a diagnostic test. It won’t solve your problem. Don’t be disappointed when you find that nothing has changed after you complete it.
The purpose of this test is to determine whether the problem is localized to your user account. Enable guest logins* and log in as Guest. Don't use the Safari-only “Guest User” login created by “Find My Mac.”
While logged in as Guest, you won’t have access to any of your documents or settings. Applications will behave as if you were running them for the first time. Don’t be alarmed by this behavior; it’s normal. If you need any passwords or other personal data in order to complete the test, memorize, print, or write them down before you begin.

After testing, log out of the guest account and, in your own account, disable it if you wish. Any files you created in the guest account will be deleted automatically when you log out of it.
*Note: If you’ve activated “Find My Mac” or FileVault in OS X 10.7 or later, then you can’t enable the Guest account. The "Guest User" login created by "Find My Mac" is not the same. Create a new account in which to test, and delete it, including its home folder, after testing.

I have iPad air, screen freezes after FaceTime call and cannot get back to home screen, have to power down and turn back on to get back to home screen. What am I doing wrong?

Hi RWD2,
Welcome to the Support Communities!
To resolve your issue with Facetime freezing when you end a call, I would try the first three steps in the article below.
iOS: Not responding or does not turn on
http://support.apple.com/kb/ts3281
Resolution
If a single application is not responding or stops responding when it opens, you can force it to close.
If the device is unresponsive or if certain controls aren't working as expected, restart your device.
If the device remains unresponsive or does not turn on (or power on), reset your device.
If you are using Wi-Fi, it may be helpful to try these troubleshooting steps as well:
iOS: Troubleshooting Wi-Fi networks and connections
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1398?viewlocale=en_US
Reset network settings by tapping Settings > General > Reset > Reset Network Settings.
Note: This will reset all network settings including previously connected Wi-Fi networks and passwords

I hope this information helps ....
Have a great day!
