Applescript to select specific airport network

hi all,
I'd like to write an applescript to select a specific airport network named 'NETGEAR'
I haven't got much experience with Applescript and I can't get Automator's 'Watch Me Do' to work properly.
What i'd like done is:
-select the airport menu (in the menu bar)
-select the wifi network 'NETGEAR'
using automator and applescript editor, I've got the following scritpt:
on run {input, parameters}
    -- Click the “AirPort Menu Extra” menu bar item.
    delay 1.664016
    set timeoutSeconds to 2.0
    set uiScript to "click menu bar item 6 of menu bar 1 of application process \"SystemUIServer\""
    my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
    return input
    -- NETGEAR
    delay 0.882737
    set timeoutSeconds to 2.0
    set uiScript to "click menu item \"NETGEAR\" of menu 1 of menu bar item 6 of menu bar 1 of application process \"SystemUIServer\""
    my doWithTimeout(uiScript, timeoutSeconds)
    return input
end run
however, this returns the dialogue: 'AppleScript Error (null)'. So clearly something isn't right.
I'm sure that whatever mistakes I'm making are pretty obvious to someone who's more familiar with scripting.

I am so sorry to bother you again. I have another question about how to create a script to change Safari downloaded folder.                                                                            Automatically changing Safari's downloads folder                    
I have searched a script but it seems to have problem. How should i do?
-- Set alternative drive name to use as downloads folder here
set dlFolder to convertHome("/Volumes/Untitled")
tell application "Finder"
     if exists [POSIX file dlFolder] then
          -- Do Nothing and use the folder
     else
          -- set dlFolder to default home directory
          set dlFolder to (POSIX path of (path to home folder as text)) & "Downloads"
     end if
end tell
-- get current path from safari plist
set currentpath to convertHome(do shell script "defaults read com.apple.Safari DownloadsPath")
-- change path only if the current setting does not match the input path (there is something to change)
if (currentpath as text) is not equal to (dlFolder as text) then
     -- if Safari is running, change settings through Safari's preferences
     if appIsRunning("Safari") then
          -- determine the frontmost application to restore when script is done
          set frontApp to path to frontmost application as text
          -- copy the download folder path to the clipboard
          set the clipboard to dlFolder as text
          activate application "Safari"
          tell application "System Events" to tell application process "Safari"
               -- open the preferences or bring to front (window 1)
               keystroke "," using {command down}
               delay 1 -- pauses in window display may result in an error, so we wait a second
               -- Change to the General tab
               click button "General" of tool bar 1 of window 1
               -- Change download location to Other
               tell pop up button "Save downloaded files to:" of group 1 of group 1 of window"General"
                    click
                    click menu item "Other..." of menu 1 -- three dots is an ellipsis, not three periods
               end tell
               -- Open the "go to folder" dialogue box
               keystroke "g" using {shift down, command down}
               -- Paste the folder path into the location field
               tell window "Go To Folder"
                    keystroke "v" using {command down}
                    keystroke return
               end tell
               click button "Select" of sheet 1 of window "General"
               -- close the preferences
               keystroke "w" using {command down}
          end tell
          -- restore frontmost application after job is complete
          tell application frontApp to activate
     else
          -- if Safari is NOT running, then use the defaults command to change the preferences
          do shell script ("defaults write com.apple.Safari DownloadsPath " & dlFolder)
     end if
end if
-- Function to convert home path references to full paths
on convertHome(currentpath)
     if currentpath contains "~/" then
          set oldDelimiter to AppleScript's text item delimiters
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to {"~/"}
          set textPath to every text item of currentpath
          set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelimiter
          set currentpath to POSIX path of (path to home folder as text) & item 2 in textPath
     end if
     return currentpath
end convertHome
-- Function to check if application "appName" is running (in this case, used for Safari)
on appIsRunning(appName)
     tell application "System Events" to (name of processes) contains appName
end appIsRunning

  • Airport card won't auto select my AirPort network at boot up

    I have two AirPort express routers in the house, configured together (to increase range) on one network, "Aspen". Its the only network I have. When I first set up my Mac several years ago I used the AirPort wizard. After initial config, my Mac would always automatically select the wireless network "Aspen" at every boot up. Over time, I started to see my neighbor's various networks listed too, but, the AirPort card always auto selected and connected to my network.
    Somewhere along the way (with various network reconfigs happening to add the second router, reset a password so someone's WIndows machine could use the network, etc..) somehow my config got munged and for the last year or so my AirPort card would not auto connect. I'd have to manually select "Aspen". In the last few months, auto select has begun working again, but, it always, always selects my neighbors network, and I have to manually switch it over to mine.
    I've used the Help docs below. I've got it set up exactly as they're saying. "Aspen" is the ONLY network on my AirPort list. When I boot, it says, "I can't find your network. Would you like to connect to "neighbors network"? What can I do to reconfigure this to work correctly?
    Thanks so much!
    Choosing preferred AirPort networks
    By default, AirPort attempts to join the wireless network your computer was most recently connected to.
    If you are in an environment with multiple wireless networks, you can set up your computer to join a preferred network when you start your computer, wake it from sleep, or turn AirPort on.
    AirPort keeps track of the wireless networks your computer has connected to, and lists them in the Network pane of System Preferences.
    To choose a preferred AirPort network using Mac OS X 10.4:
    Open Network preferences, choose AirPort from the Show pop-up menu, and click AirPort.
    Choose "Preferred networks" from the "By default, join" pop-up menu, and select a network from the list.
    You can add wireless networks to the list by clicking the Add button, and clicking on the Network Name pop-up menu. Choose a network and enter a password for the network if necessary. Use the Delete button to remove a network from the list.
    To give a network the highest priority, drag the name of the network to the top of the list. This is the network AirPort will attempt to join first.
    If you are using Mac OS X 10.3, choose "A specific network" from the "By default, join" pop-up menu, and either type the name of the network in the Network field, or click the Network pop-up menu to display the available networks, choose one and then enter your password for the network.
    You can set additional options to control the way your computer joins available networks. Click Options and choose an option from the "If no preferred networks are found" pop-up menu.
    If you choose "Ask before joining an open network," you will be prompted when an open network becomes available. If you choose "Automatically join an open network," you will not be promoted, and will automatically join an open network when it becomes available. If you choose "Keep looking for recent networks," AirPort will continue looking for networks you have already joined, and automatically join the network when one is found.

  • Restarting Mac and Choosing Airport Network all the time

    Ever since a couple days, everytime I restart my Mac I have to select my Airport Network. It will no longer do it automatically for me. Can someone tell me what's going on, and how do I change it to have it choose the network automatically. Thank you.

    Change your Airport settings.
    System Preferences > Network > Airport > Airport Tab
    Change from Automatic to Preferred Networks, ensuring your network is the only one in the list.
    Turn off your base station and leave for an hour.
    If that doesn't solve it.
    Reset it and create a new network with a new network name and password.

  • Can Mail remember SMTP with am airport network?

    I,
    I have searched these forums to no avail...
    I seem to remember that MAil is suposed to be able to remember your outgoing SMTP server
    along with the Airport network.
    Can't find a setting in mail for this. IS it there somewhere?
    I, like many hop between airport networks ,and it would be great to have mail remember and know
    which SMTP server to use on a specific airport network.
    TIA and regards

    Mail has no way of knowing how you are connected. You would need to create new accounts mail; the POP details can't be duplicated from an existing account, so just enter garbage but add the new SMTP details. Go into 'Advanced' and uncheck 'include when automatically checking for new mail' (or you will get lots of error messages).
    Now when you answer or create a message you will have the option to choose a different account for a different SMPT server.

  • New Airport Network - issues with some specific features

    Hello,
    I have just changed my wifi system for an Airport Network, with one AirPort Extreme and 2 AirPort Express. The goal was to extend the wifi network to the entire house. Everything is fine, all my computers are able to connect to the network and are able to access the internet. The AirPort Network is connected to the internet with the PPPoE procedure.
    The issue is very specific here.
    1. I use Outlook 2007 to handle my e-mails. Since I have shifted to the AirPort Network, Outlook is not able to connect to pop server anymore for 4 of my 5 accounts. Hotmail (pop) is functionning alright but Gmail is blocked !
    2. Windows Update is also unable to connect to the appropriate server.
    Maybe there is more but it's all I have noticed so far. I have not changed a single parameter by myself on my computers and both are affected the same way.
    I first thought it was a firewall issue but disabling my software firewall (Bullguard) did not change anything. Vista Firewall is not active. Maybe is it the internal firewall of the AirPort Extreme ? But that would not explain why Outlook can send messages (smtp works fine).
    Any idea or similar experience ? Thank you in advance.
    Best regards,
    AdG

    Maybe my problem is just bad luck ! I might have shifted to my new network
    the wrong day. One day earlier, I would not have seen any difficulty... if this is it.
    Quakes slow cyber connections
    By Zhu Shenshen | 2009-8-18 | NEWSPAPER EDITION
    SHANGHAI'S international Internet connections slowed significantly yesterday after earthquakes rocked Taiwan and southern Japan. It was unclear last night how long repairs might take. Millions of Chinese Netizens were unable to connect to overseas Websites or use popular online chat tools yesterday afternoon.
    About 15 million MSN instant message users in Shanghai and other parts of China were affected as the main servers are in the United States. Connections to most overseas Websites including those run by Yahoo and the New York Times were also clogged.
    The chain of events that led to the service disruption had its origin in Typhoon Morakot, which struck Taiwan on August 7 and led to a later breakdown in an undersea telecommunications cable system.
    Local Internet traffic was not influenced because transmissions were routed to a backup channel. But that cable failed yesterday near Busan, South Korea, apparently the victim of the earthquakes, according to China Unicom.
    The failure affected Asian communications to the US and Europe.
    The epicenter of the first quake, which struck at 8:05am yesterday, was about 188 kilometers southeast of Hualien on Taiwan's east coast at a depth of 11km, the island's weather bureau said. The US Geological Survey put the magnitude at 6.7.
    The second quake, which was centered close to the first at a depth of 20km and struck at 6:10pm, measured 6.1, the Taiwan weather bureau said. It was also felt in Japan's Ishigaki Island.
    "We've sent a team to repair the broken cable, but we can't give a detailed timetable for when it will be completed," said Song Guixiang, a public relations official for China Telecom.
    The schedule will depend heavily on weather conditions, Song said.
    Repairs are handled by a team comprising the carriers that use the cable.
    In most cases it takes one to two months to fully repair damaged undersea cables. In the meantime, telecom operators will try to reroute traffic to operating cables and satellite systems.
    Domestic Internet connections and international call services were normal yesterday, the carriers said.

  • I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless network with Airport Express. Everything is fine until I try to select Extend the wireless network.  I select Extend Wireless network but have no success. Ideas?

    I have installed Airport Extreme on my iMac, but want to extend the wireless to rooms with a weak signal.  The internet connection is fine with the basic setup. As soon as I go into Airport Utility to select Extend Wireless Network and fill in what I believe is proper information, I get an error message that Airport Extreme no longer has an IP address, the internet connection is broken, and under Wireless, that there is a wireless network in existence that can't be found. Rebooting the modem only brings the Airport Extreme back to the starting gate so that the internet is once again available.  I assumed (naively) that with the All Mac All-the-Time context, adding Airport Express would truly be Plug and Play.   I got the plug, but no play.  I asked a Comcast technical specialist about it and he said that I needed to reset the Airport Express settings back to their default, factory status.  I looked that process up online and found out that the way to do that was to hold down the reset button, then plug Airport Express into the socket and wait for the green light to flash four times.  Then wait 45 seconds and the default settings will return.  I did all that, only to find out that after the initial flash of green, green never appeared again.  I got a fast flashing yellow light, followed by the light going off.  Apparently this didn't reset it properly.  So, after hours trying to get this system to work, I appeal to someone who can see through this mess and provide the key to success!

    Let's see if I can get this straight.
    You have an Airport Extreme base station that is set to "Create a wireless network" and you have the box checked for "allow this network to be extended"....
    Then you have an Airport Express that is set to "Extend a wireless network" which you selected the name of your network in the box...
    Correct?
    See this Apple document:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4259?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
    The wireless unit on the right of the diagram can be either of the newer Apple base stations.
    Extreme, Express, Time Capsule

  • Error joining the selected airport network?

    I'm trying to connect to my linksys wireless using WPA with a powerbook but no luck. My password which I know is correct (it's working on another G4 and my wife's Gateway. I get the following message when selected my network. "There was an error joining the selected airport network". I can connect via a neighbor's unprotected network, so airport is working. Other times I've tried it says password is incorrect.

    Wi-Fi Protected Access networks normally require a plain-text password or passphrase. But in rare cases you may have to enter a string of 64 delightful hexadecimal characters.
    The HEX password is derived from the plaintext password therefore you shouldn't need to create anything new. Check the linksys router for the HEX version of your plaintext password.
    The AirPort interface doesn't welcome this wonderful practice by default (imagine that), but it's buried in there for when you need it. Just hold down the Option key while choosing your network from the AirPort menu, then you'll be set to enter all 64 of those easy-to-remember characters.

  • 'No Airport Networks in Range' on OS 10.1 PowerBook G4 550MHz

    Hi there, I have searched these forums and checked the FAQs without any luck finding this problem. I am working on a PowerBook G4 550MHz that used to have OS 10.4.8 and when you would click on the wireless icon it would report 'No Airport Networks in Range' and it was greyed out. You could select 'Other' and try and manually enter the wireless settings with no luck. It doesn't matter how close you are to the base station, either, it will not pick up that there is a wireless network available. I have checked that the hardware is seated properly and it is. We even have a different Powerbook G4 800MHz that has the same airport card that works fine. I swapped the airport cards and still have the same problem. We have taken it to other wireless networks with the same problem. It will get on hard-wired networks fine.
    Now, we threw in a new hard drive and loaded the original MAC OS 10.1 and got it updated to 10.1.5 but we still have the same problem, no wifi, it recognizes the hardware, it just won't see a wifi network and it will not connect manually, either, it's like the range is just terrible or something. Anyone have a clue what could be going on here? I didn't see any firmware updates though I could have missed something with that. Either way, it is very frustrating. Thanks.
    BTW, The router works fine as you can get other PCs and Macs hooked directly to it without issue.

    Most likely, the issue is the AirPort card or it's configuration on the G4.
    To setup AirPort for High-Speed Cable Internet connectivity:
    System Preferences > Network > Show > Network Port Configurations
    - Verify that an AirPort option exists. If it does not, click "New" to create one. (Note: If you are unable to create an AirPort configuration, the AirPort card in your computer either doesn't exist or it is not recognized.)
    - Verify that AirPort is "On" (checked)
    - Verify that AirPort is at the top of the list. If it isn't, you can drag it to the top.
    Systems Preferences > Network > Show > AirPort
    AirPort tab
    - By default, join: Automatic
    TCP/IP tab
    - Configure IPv4: Using DHCP
    - Configure IPv6: Automatically or Off
    Proxies tab
    - Configure Proxies: Manually
    - Select a proxy server to configure: <All proxies should be unchecked unless you specifically require a proxy for Internet access.>
    - Exclude simple hostnames (unchecked)
    - Bypass proxy settings for these Hosts & Domains: <leave blank>
    - Use Passive FTP Mode (PASV) (checked)

  • Fun Extending an AirPort Network

    I previously had an AirPort network configured as follows:
    AirPort Extreme(n) Base Station connected to Internet router via Ethernet
    Time Capsule and AirPort Express extending the wireless network
    The good idea fairy hit me and I decided to do some home cabling. The end result was that the Time Capsule is now also connected to the Internet router via Ethernet. This is where the fun begins.
    I'm not sure what to do from here, but here is what I have done so far:
    1. AirPort Extreme on wireless channel 1, with the box checked to allow the network to be extended
    2. Express still extending the wireless network
    3. TC set to "Create a Wireless Network" using the same wireless network name and WPA password as the Extreme, but on channel 4, also with the box checked to allow the network to be extended.
    Questions:
    1. What, if anything, have I done flat-out wrong, and what could I do better?
    2. Specifically, should the Extreme and TC be on different channels?
    3. Does it hurt that they both have the box checked to allow the wireless network to be extended?
    4. Anything I have missed?
    Thanks in advance. It appears that my cabling skills exceed my network admin knowledge.

    So in your new configuration, I understand the following: Modem > AEBSn > TC >>> AXn, where ">" represents an Ethernet connection, and ">>>" would be a wireless one. Is this correct?
    If so, the following would be the basic settings for each of the routers:
    AEBSn
    o Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o Allow this network to be extended (disabled)
    o Wireless Network Name = <enter desired Network Name here>
    o Radio Channel Selection = 1
    o Connection Sharing = Share a public IP address
    TC
    o Wireless Mode = Create a wireless network
    o Allow this network to be extended (enabled)
    o Wireless Network Name = <same as AEBSn>
    o Radio Channel Selection = 6 or 11
    o Connection Sharing = Off (Bridge Mode)
    AXn
    o Wireless Mode = Extend a wireless network
    o Allow wireless clients (enabled)
    o Wireless Network Name = <same as AEBSn>
    o Radio Channel Selection = N/A
    o Connection Sharing = N/A

  • Can't send from Mail on some Airport Networks

    While each account may not have identical issues, all are related to the configuration parameters of the SMTP server for that account. The Connection Doctor should have described specific steps to take to correct each issue. For example, a smtp.mac.com error message may have read…
    "Could not connect to this smtp server. Check your network connection and that you entered the correct information in the Account preferences. Also verify that the server supports SSL. If it does not, uncheck the "Use SSL" checkbox in the Advanced tab of Account preferences."
    An smtp server must be properly named in your Advanced preference pane: smtp.mac.com, for example. You must select the correct server port, a determination made by your ISP. The default port is 25. You must check or leave unchecked, as appropriate, the option labeled Use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL). Authentication should be set to None, Password, or an alternative higher strength standard, again as determined by your ISP. Your user name—without the domain appended—and your password must be correct.
    For .Mac, proper guidelines are provided here:
    http://help.apple.com/mac2/1/help/mail/pgs2/ml_fmset02.html
    In the example above, simply switching the port used to communicate with the .Mac smtp server from the default 25 to port 587 corrected the issued described in that message from the Connection Doctor.

  • Screen sharing new iMac on Airport Network

    I have a Macbook Pro and an iMac on an Airport network.
    I don't see the option to share the desktop of the remote iMac, even though I have screen sharing on. I can do screen sharing if I manually connect via the Connect to Server option in Finder and use vnc://ipaddress. I just don't see the button like you are supposed to when I click on that computer in the finder.
    Finally, another odd thing. On the macbook pro, the iMac is first displayed in the shared pane in the finder like a Windows PC. Then, once I use afp to connect to it and access the Shared folder, then it shows up in the Finder as an iMac. The Windows version is still there too.
    Thanks!

    Hi Palessi:
    I had the same problem. The thing in my case was that I have a Tiger (10.4.11) G5 that I wanted to control with my Leopard (10.5.5) MacPro.
    I have the Following settings:
    Leopard MacPro:
    System Preferences/Sharing-----Selected: Screen Sharing, File Sharing and Reomote Login.
    System Preferences/Security/Firewall-----Set Access for specific services and applications.
    Tiger G5:
    System Preferences/Sharing/Services-----Selected: Personal File Sharing,, Window Sharing, FTP Access, Apple Remote Desktop.
    System Preferences/Security/Firewall-----Selected: iChat Bonjour.
    With this configuration I had to stop the firewall to get control over the Tiger G5 with the Leopard MacPro until I did the next thing:
    1: Go to System Preferences/Security/Firewall
    2: Click on the "NEW" button
    3: In the pop screen in the "PORT NAME" section, scroll down untill you find "VNC" and leave settings as they are.
    Thats it. I have to say that until I did that, I could have access to files through my network, I even had the share screen button in the finder.
    I hope this helps

  • How to connect a Sony Bravia TV to the internet through your Airport network

    Since it took me a lot of time to figure out how to connect my Sony Bravia TV to the internet through my Airport network, I better share how to do it. Hopefully saving others a lot of time.
    My 32EX600 Sony Bravia TV is Ethernet connected to my Mac Mini, which is part of my Airport network, together with another Mac, an Airport Extreme Base Station and an ADSL modem/router. Moreover, the Mac Mini is connected to the TV by HDMI.
    Whatever I tried in the TV’s Wired Network Set-up (Auto, or Manual with manual IP, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway and DNS IPs), I couldn’t get it right. Cable Connection and Local Access were mostly OK, Internet Access always Failed.
    The solution lies in the Sharing panel of the System Preferences of the Mac Mini. In the Internet Sharing item of that panel, you should choose to “share your internet connection from WiFi to computers (the TV in this case) using Ethernet“, and NOT (as I had chosen before and seemed so obvious) “share your internet connection from Airport to computers using Ethernet“. After that change, the Bravia Network Set-up, using the Wired and Auto options, flawlessly connected to the internet. No expensive (Sony) WiFi USB dongle needed.

    I have now had a detailed reply from Sony Europe and the way to do this is to:
    1.       Press Home on the TV Setup
    2.       Use the right and left arrow to select Setting.
    3.       Use the up and down to select Network, press Enter.

  • XP Pro on MacBook Pro Cannot Connect to AirPort Network

    I just installed Windows XP using the Boot Camp set up utility. After I installed Windows, I went to set up a wireless network and went through the full process of setting it up. Since I've done that several times, XP Pro on my MacBook will not connect to my AirPort network. I have an airport network on one end of the house and on the other end, I have an airport express to increase the signal.
    Any ideas?

    I feel your pain! I can tell you how to get into a protected net ... just not how to STAY connected for any appreciable time! Haven't figured that one out!
    Go to your wireless connection icon ... bottom rhs of tool bar (XP)
    - 2x click that icon ... that'll bring up your connection
    - Highlight your connection
    - Select the "Change Advanced settings"... lower lhs of screen
    - When the next window pops-up, select the "Wireless Networks " tab
    - The next window should display your connection ... if not highlight it
    - Select properties
    - In this window you should select:
    - Shared for Network Auth
    - Select WEP for Data Encrypt
    - Input your Network Key (You can get this off your Airport Admin Utility by bringing up the Airport and selecting the "Lock" icon that's named "Password". Select password and it'll give you the hexadecimal equivalent. Input that into your Network Key window and authenticate.
    - Select OK and you should be good for about 5 mins!
