Automate a task with a Classic application?

Hi
I need to automate a task with a Classic application, is Automator suitable for this? If not, anyone knows what I can use instead?
Thanks

It's pretty hard to do that without having the application to play around with. Most likely the easiest way to try is by UI key commands. No promises, but can you see if you can preform the entire function you want to do without using the mouse. Then write down exactly what key commands you did and post them. I'll try to write a script for that. I can't think of any other plans. Have you got any other ideas, Ric?

  • Problems printing with older Classic applications using OS 10.4.8

    Newly installed OS 10.4.8. Unable to print from older applications using OS 9.2.2 Classic capability. Error Messages: (1) Not Apple Event Aware. (2) Desk Top Print 2.0 not installed. What is my remedy?

    Using latest driver for HP5M printer in both Classic and OSX modes. Printing is OK in all applications except Avery Label Maker and MacProLabel Maker which are very old applications. I didn't have this problem with OS10.2.8. I get the same identical error messages for each as previously stated. I had a similar printing problem with Claris Draw but no error message. I reformatted my old Claris files and now can print.

  • Any ways to automate smartlist updates with Classic App?

    We have been trying to find a way to automate a smartlist with a Classic app. Through EPMA this appears to be possible by modifying the ADS file, but we cannot find a workable way to do this with a Classic Planning app. Has anyone figured a way to do this? We are currently using DIM to update our Planning metadata.

    I rarely update my software via iTunes and always opt for OTA method, which is what I did for IOS 7.0 upgrade. Yet, my images and videos stay intact with the 7.0 update, which I thought would be the same for 7.0.3, but boy, I was wrong. I read that a lot of people are having similar problem with this particular update cos it linked with the iTunes. I've been having problems syncing my iPhone to iTunes (on my Mac), which I presume is what others face as well...
    Yeap, very good learning experience indeed

  • Problems with Automate Batch tasks in Photoshop CS2

    "Could not complete the action, since the destination folder does not exist" message appears when I Automate a task that I have previously recorded and successfully used.
    When I choose Automate, then Batch, then select action, then select a source folder and a destination folder the message appears. Once "OK"  is selected it completes the action but only one image at a time before the error message comes back. If I am repeating the task on a folder with several images, I have to sit and click "OK" to the error message for each image for the task to complete.
    How can I get the Action to Automate itself without the error message popping up? The destination folder does exist and I have tried re-recording the actions but the same message continues to come up.

    Well, maybe "Save for web" command has remembered the folder for saving files. And then you use Automate Batch they trying to save exactly in THAT folder in spite of you choose another in Batch. If that folder doesn't exist program returns en "error" message. Try to restore "original" folder and run Batch again.

  • Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications

    Hello:
    I'm using Excel 2010 and when I try to open several workbooks a message "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources. Choose less data or close other applications" appears.  This happens when I open email attachments from MS Outlook
    and files on my C-Drive.
    Thank you for your help

    Hi NFL1,
    Could you tell me which version of office are you using, 32bit or 64bit? You said this issue always happened when open attachments from outlook and files in C-Driver.
    For opening attachments from outlook, it might there is a conflict between the preview pane and Excel. You can try to hide the preview pane as a workaround to solve this issue. Please refer to this link:
    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/2526883
    It is often the case, if your file is large or contains a large amount of features, it is possible you are running low on available memory resources. If you work with extremely large data sets, the 64-bit version of Office may perform better for you. 32-bit
    office you run are limited to making use of only 2GB of RAM. And this is one of the reasons occur the issue, you can via these links to get more information about this issue and detailed methods to solve this problem.

    Please try these methods and let me know if they work, I am glad to help and forward to your reply.

    I need to generate a still shot from from a video I made with my camera. I would like to accomplish this task using a single application. If this is not possible with my MacBook Pro as purchased from Apple, please recommend which applications I can purchase that include this feature. Thanks in advance.

    For FREE do the following:
    When you get to othe part of the video you want a still shot from, put the video on pause. 
    Take a screen shot:  Apple>Shift>4 - which will produce a cross hair so you can manually select which part of the video you want.Check inside either your Applications or Utility folder for an app called Grab.  Will do the above with just a single click.
    If you still want to purchase software, suggest that you do a Google & MacUpdate search.  This way, you can find exactly what you want. 

  • With DRM should we prefer EPMA or Classic application

    Hi,
    We have bought DRM and now are considering whether to build an EPMA or Classic application. Are there any specific benefits of EPMA application with DRM in place. Any suggestions will be helpful.

    Just out of interest how are you going move the metadata from DRM to Planning.
    Though to be honest if you are managing your hierarchies in DRM I wouldn't see much advantage to then push it into EPMA to manage the hierarchies for a second time.

  • Restarting in OS 9 to use Epson C86 printer with OS 9 applications

    I've installed the software for the Epson C86 printer on my iMac (Panther, OS 10.3) and I want to use the printer with applications running in the Classic Environment. I've got the OS 9 System Folder installed. The printer instructions say to restart the iMac in OS 9 and choose the C86 icon in the Chooser.
    When I'm running in the Classic environment, the C86 icon does not appear in the OS 9 Chooser, and OS 9 does not appear in the Startup Pane of System Preferences. When I restart holding down the option key, only the OS X icon appears.
    How do I start up in OS 9--and more importantly, how do I use the Epson C86 on this machine with OS 9 applications?
    Thanks for any enlightenment you can offer!

    Thanks for your response. (This is electric-hair with a new ID--consider this item marked "resolved"!) I downloaded the updated driver for the C86 from the Epson website instead of using the CD that came with the printer and everything worked automatically, just fine.
    Is it always better to download and use the software from a company's website for a peripheral than to use the software on the CD that comes with? Simply because of updates...or is there another reason?

  • Send-MailMessage and Automatic Email Generation with Exchange 2007

    Good morning everyone,
    Is it possible to create a powershell script to automatically send messages with Send-MailMessage? I've been asked if we can make Exchange/Outlook automatically generate its own emails to send. My answer was no, you generally need a third party tool to do
    this, such as SendLater or have an application that processes emails through Exchange automatically.
    Then we came upon Send-MailMessage and while I can send emails to myself all night and day, I need to know if I can send with this command automatically throughout the day. I'm somewhat still new to powershell scripting and not sure where to begin or if
    this is even possible.
    Thanks for any assistance!

  • How to write to one channel of a task with multiple channels? (plus other things...)

    So I have a USB-6009 DAQ.  It has 12 digital output lines.  I want one channel that is "Dev0\line0:10" which represents an address bus in my application.  And a second channel "Dev0\line11" which represents a program enable line in my application.
    I have tried creating two different tasks and adding one channel to one task and the other channel to the other task.  The only task that worked was the task with "Dev0\line0:10".  It was always the task containing that channel, regardless of the order of creation.  So then I moved on to a different method.  (I read somewhere that I should only create one task of each type.  like only 1 DO task only 1 AO task etc...  However I am also using the two analog ouputs to and have a task for each AO and they work just fine.)
    I tried add both channels to one task.  But when I needed to control only the address bus, I had to have some information for the other channel as well.  This was a little trying, but I could configure it that way.  But it turned out to be easier for me to just make one channel with all the lines and OR in the data for line11 with each write.
    I just wondered if it was possible to write to one particular channel of a task and not the other channel?  That would really be the ideal solution for me.  especially if I could write multiple samples to the one channel while I left the other channel alone.  Which brings up another complaint... Why does WriteMultiSamplePort only work if I use a DigitalMultiChannelWriter, and not if I use a DigitalSingleChannel writer even though my task only has one channel (and by the way I set up the channel as one channel for all lines)?  A perplexing issue to be sure.
    And no I can't just load all my samples into an array and write them all at once because I also have to manipulate the two analog outputs in between the various digital writes.
    I am using NI DAQmx 7.5 and C#.  I am trying to use the DAQ to program a digital switch, which has proven to be a real challenge.  In push-pull mode there is too much ringing for the switches programming port to tolerate.  But the switches interface is LVTTL, so I needed the 3.3V.  When I changed to open-collector I had to use voltage dividers to drop down to 3.3V.  But the rise time using open-collector is too slow for me the program the switch in serial mode, so I had to change to parallel.  The switch has an 11 bit multi-plexed ADDR/DATA bus.  So the DAQ I had chosen to use which had plenty of lines for the serial programming, now is strained to it's absolute limits by the parrallel interface.   ARGH.  The only output I am not currently using is the counter, and I'm going to need it if I ever want to read back from the switch.  But first I have to seperate the ADDR/DATA bus from the CS line on the DIO lines of the DAQ.  And I don't know for sure what I'm going to do about the voltage level translation when I have to go bi-directional.  Maybe I can filter out the ringing in push-pull mode?  Any thoughts on that?

    Hi Saikey,
    In most cases, you are exactly right: you can only use one task for one type of operation (i.e. only one analog input task in the same program). With the USB 6009, you can have multiple digital output tasks running at the same time. I was able to run a digital output program with two different digital output tasks configured for a USB-6009.
    However, you stated that it would be better if you had everything in a single task for your application and write data to only some of the channels. The easiest way to do this is to modify your array of output data so that only the data to that one channel is changing. So, for example, if you keep writing a 0 to the channels that do not need new data nothing will change.
    If you have to change your analog outputs during this program, you could create an event structure that would stop and restart the analog output tasks without changing the digital output data. I hope that you find this information helpful.
    Regards,
    Hal L.

  • Reboot before sysprep when I want to add an installation task with Office 2013

    Hi all,
    I want to buid a reference computer with a genuine Win7 wim file, correct drivers, uptodate patches, and usefull applications. So I use a “Build and Capture Task Sequence”. The new reference image captured, I can use it with WDS or a media
    to any computers, using a second and different “Build and Capture Task Sequence.”
    All things were right, I could add Acrobat Reader, Java and some others application, but it failed when I tried to add “Add Application Task” with Office 2013. I could import the software, I discovered the new panel to configure config.xml
    and mychoice.msp, but when I run the Tasq sequence, when it begin to sysprep the OS, a few time before the capture, the computer reboots. Sysprep does not run, and the image is not captured.
    I can add any software installation in the Tasq sequence but not one with Office 2013.
    What do you think about this issue?

    Hi,
    Some pieces of advice, since I have managed to create a Windows 7 WIM file with Office 2013 embedded without any problems:
    Build your reference image in a virtual machine, not on physical hardware, to prevent a gigantic driverstore with drivers for one or more models, and having to rebuild your image every single time you use a new model. This is not how MDT works, MDT works
    hardware agnostic, since it inject's drivers of hardware for each model before the WIM file is applied to your target computer.
    Do you really want to embed applications like Adobe Reader and Java in the image? They have a release every month. Do you want to (or is there room for) updating your image every single month? Put them in the deployment phase of your task sequence. This
    way these applications are left out the WIM file, but are installed after the WIM file is applied to your system. Yes this takes a little bit more time when deploying a machine, but that's time you'll save on not managing your WIM file every single month
    Check your
    log files, make sure your machine is not Domain Joined, since that is the biggest mistake people make when sysprepping a machine. And check
    Setuperr.log for any sysprep errors. Guaranteed it has noting to do with Office 2013
    Good luck!

  • How can I sync my Microsoft Outlook tasks with my Ipad reminders? I dont want to use Icloud or an exchange

    How can I sync my Microsoft Outlook tasks with my Ipad reminders? I dont want to use Icloud or an exchange

    Plug it into your computer. Tell it to sync with "this computer" instead of iCloud. You shouldn't have to remove any apps. Otherwise, you can save the app data by using i-FunBox ( http://www.i-funbox.com/ ) just go to the "devices" tab and select 'user applications' and select all of your apps and tell iFunBox to "copy to pc" you're done! You have them all backed up.

  • I need to make a task with less as3 code and more timeline structure and event dispatcher !

    I went to an interview in a big company. I had to make a  task in which there is a wall with 3 lines and 5 columns filled with bombs.When you click on a bomb the bomb changes its scale, a robot enters, goes under the bomb and takes it, then goes to a smaller wall, makes the bomb smaller and place it at the same place it had been in the previous wall.I made the task with tween througout as3 code.The interviewer told me it was good but i need to make it with the less code possible and with more complex timeline structure and to use event dispatcher.What is the best way to do this ?

    The immediate thing that comes to mind is they might want to see that you can balance work between design teams and development teams.
    To do that, the robots movements (pick up bomb, bomb grows/shrinks, arms/treads/legs moving, sequences of 'doing things') can be timeline based so animators can work on those separate from code.
    Developers would be working on the logic of keeping score, moving the robot around to the correct spot with path detection, collision detection, etc.
    It's very similar to thinking in simple factories (which Flash is good at being automatically with timelines), and a bit of MVC (or just VC in some cases).
    Big companies have lots of different types of employees so you'll probably be very specific in your role so you're efficient.

Maybe you are looking for
