Automator App doesn't run from doc

I built the "Quit All" automator app to close all running apps. Basically, it just uses the automator "Quit All Applications" action. The app works fine when run out of the applications folder or the desktop but, when in the dock, it does not run.
The same app works fine out of the dock in SL 10.6.8 and Lion 10.7.4 but not ML 10.8.0 or ML 10.8.1. I have been using it with no problems since Lion was released. I have rebuilt it using the ML Auomator but still no joy.
It's no big deal, but is there something I am missing ?
Thanks in advance.

Perhaps you should check the Console logs to find out what's going on. One thing that I would examine is that if you run the app in the Dock, then it cannot quit the Dock hence the app fails to properly run. Just a thought.

Automator app won't run from double-click

automator app won't run from double-click in finder or from alert from ical. Will only run if I open in automator editor.
I found a solution on my own. I opened activity monitor and all the automator apps that I run daily were hanging up and the auromator launch was hanging up. I force quit them from the activity monitor. Now it works again.

I might have gotten there eventually on my own, but I suspect finding your post saved me a lot of work. Thanks for posting your solution.

Running Automator app/service as command from an Application

I want to create an Automator app or service to be called from a script editor. Which action would allow me to retrieve the filename/filepath that was being edited by that application? Also, the editor has a "run command" feature that I planned to use to run the automator app. What type of automator app should I create to be able to run it as a command?

Friends, i've got, where the problem is.
when we run a class file directly from a command prompt, we get an environment with that shell window. but for a servlet application running these kind of commands from a class creates kind of child processes. each and every command is executed as a child process of jvm and don't get those environment. we have 'PATH' variable in the environment. when a command (say, 'dir' or 'sh' or 'ls', etc.) is executed, the shell first search for that executable file (i.e. dir / sh / ls) in the given paths in the variable 'PATH'. this is not available for the child commands of jvm. hence the basic commands are searched in the current directory of the jvm and they are failed.
i solved the problem giving full path of the commands. like :
p = rt.exec("/bin/sh runningScript.ksh")

WebStart app doesn't run after JRE auto-update

Our JNLP-deployed app doesn't start if the JRE is auto-updated as part of the WebStart download. The JRE update completes successfully but the app doesn't start and the desktop shortcuts created by WebStart don't work (the path to the webstart app in the shortcuts appears to be invalid). The user has to go back to the webpage and click the link to the app's JNLP file again, then the shortcuts will have the correct path and the app will start.
Currently, our app requires JRE 1.5.0, so typically the update is going from 1.4.2 to 1.5.0. As a test, I tried starting with 1.5.0 installed and having the app require 1.6.0 and everything works perfectly, the JRE gets auto-updated, desktop shortcuts are valid and our app starts immediately afterwards.
This problem occurs whether the new JRE is auto-updated directly from Sun or from our own server (we're using the JREInstaller from the 1.5.0 JDK samples).
Any idea what the problem is and how to correct it?

.. and how to correct it? Does it work when the user upgrades direcly from
1.4.2 to 1.6? If so, you might specify 1.6 is the
minimum requirement. This is obviously not an
ideal solution, but may get your users out of a bind,
and they are probably better off using 1.6, in any case.

Hi mariocedeno,
Let's try resetting the SMC and see if anything changes:
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1411
If that does not resolve the issue, the next scenario would be to try a different charger and battery to see if anything changes. Based on the information provided in System Profiler it's not immediately obvious if we're dealing with a battery, charger or CPU related issue that's causing this.
If you don't have access to another charger & battery, our next best course of action is to arrange service/diagnostics via an Apple Retail Store or Authorized Service Provider. Is the unit still covered by Applecare/one-year limited warranty?

Disk Utility doesn't run from installation dvd.....

hi there:)
i ran a scheduled maintenance check using Onyx. It turned out that the disk could not be verified and it had to be fixed by inserting the installation dvd and running 'disk utility'. i inserted the dvd and ran the 'disk utility', however, it quit unexpectedly. the following message came up:

please help

Rik,
Please reread my first post carefully & make sure you follow its instructions closely. The "Repair Disk" step (not the verify one) should be run while your Mac is started up from the install disk, then the "Repair Permissions" step should be run after you have restarted normally.
Some background info that may be helpful:
Disk Utility (& all such disk utilities) must temporarily "unmount" a disk to affect a repair of its file system (which is what the "Repair Disk" step does). Unmounting a disk makes it unavailable for normal use. The disk containing the operating system that is currently running the computer (the startup disk) cannot be unmounted. This is why the "Repair Disk" button is grayed out if you run Disk Utility with your startup disk as its target.
Repairing permissions does not require unmounting the disk but it does require a healthy file system, which is why the disk repair must precede it. Apple recommends repairing permissions on the start up disk while booted from it, which is why it should be done after restarting normally.
The verify steps do not actually repair anything. They just run the checks that the repair steps run to determine if any repairs are needed & report the results of those checks.
The routine that repairs permissions is part of the OS itself. Disk Utility, Onyx, & all other such utilities that repair permissions actually just tell the OS to perform this routine. Thus, it doesn't matter which one you use to do this repair, nor is one utility any better than another at doing this. So if you prefer, after restarting after doing the disk repair from the install disk you can do the permissions repair with Onyx.

Desktop AIR app debug build running from cache?

I'm new to flash builder (using 4.5 for os x) and I've been working on a desktop AIR app for the last week. I've been running into a strange issue when deugging my app. Every once and a while (maybe 4-5 times a day) after I make changes to my code and I make a new debug build, a much older version of the app runs when I run the app with or without the debugger, or even if I export for release. It's as though its running (or building) from the cache, except I'm building a desktop app and I'm not testing the swf on a browser. I've turned off "Build Automatically", cleaned the project and build again but no changes are reflected. I can't figure out how, but after cleaning, quitting flash builder, restarting, cleaning, building again, etc.. numerous times suddenly I will see the current version of the app back up and running. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to quickly resolve the issue, or what exactly is fixing it. Every time it seems like something else triggers FB to refresh the build. I can even run the debugger and step through my current code while seeing completely different results on the screen.
Has anyone else run into this issue? Anyone know what I may be missing? Are there settings I need to change besides "Build Automatically"? Thanks for your help,
Nick

Thanks for the answer. How exactly Flash Builder is running is a little clearer to me now. I checked and the timestamps were indeed being updated correctly.
This helped me to look elsewhere for the issue. I actually now think it may have to do with mobile home sync that I have going through OS X. Whenever the sync runs, FB seems to launch an outdated (as in hours ago) version of the app. Despite the fact that the sync is not pulling in new files, it seems to be the issue. If i stop the sync I start seeing the current version of the app again when I run the debugger. So I think its just the OS causing my problem (although I still don't completely understand why exactly the issue would manifest itself in FB). Fortunately I can recreate the issue every time I run the sync, so the problem is consistent at least!
Thanks again for your help.

FB4: Just migrated to Windows 7 and apps won't run from HTML

I've got a new laptop with Windows 7 Pro 64-bit. I've installed FB4 and moved all my projects over to it. When I try to run an app from inside FB4 (using either Firefox or IE8), and it loads the HTML file, nothing happens. If I change the URL to point to the SWF file instead, hey presto it works.... I presume I need to change a security setting somewhere, but what and where?
Thanks

I wonder--what would happen if you launched FB4 as an administrator? Right click on the icon and say "Run as administrator."
Does it publish the file correctly when running as administrator?

Programed in Eclipse, runs under Eclipse doesn't run from command line

Hi,
have created a small Java program under Eclipse. When I right click on the package and select Run As: Java Application from the IDE the program starts fine.
On the other hand if go from the command line ( I'm under WinXP ) and I type java ProgramName under the directory which contains the .class and .java file I get an exception message saying: Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ProgramName ( wrong name: ProgramName/ProgramName ) followed by a stack trace type thing.
If I do java ProgramName.class or java ProgramName.java I get a shorter but similar message saying:
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: ProgramName/Class
I don't know what could be wrong, at first I thought about the PATH variable but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Hi Sarah
Thanks for replying and sorry for the delay - been on holiday :-)
I am not running any security additions, just a vanilla Fedora 5 Linux installation.
Does anyone have any suggestions as to where I may look to solve this problem as I am at a loss at the moment.

Stopping the automator app doesn't end the child process

Fairly new to Automator and I created an app to start a process for hosting a small server for VoIP. However, when I stop the app, the child process that was created continues to run and I have to end the child process in the activity monitor using the stop command. Is there any way to fix this?
The workflow used in the app is as follows
cd /Applications/teamspeak3-server_mac
./ts3server_mac

Adobe Creative Cloud app doesn't run

Just tried to use my newly Adobe Creative Cloud app today after signing up for an Adobe creative cloud account. I have Mavrick Version 10.9.3 and I cannot run the application Adobe creative cloud app. Every time I run the program it starts to load and then exits immediately with no error. Talked to Adobe tech support was not able to resolve the problem. Anyone else having this problem?

I have a similar problem, my CC desktop app just shows the loading animation, usually crashing as well. I've tried reinstalling the app but nothing seems to be working.
Please post up if you find anything =)

ASDM doesn't run from application, but runs from web browser

Not sure what the deal is.
All of our firewalls are running 8.4(7.22) and ASDM 7.2.2.
The primary campus firewall works fine when running Program Files-->ASDM launcher
Our VPN firewalls only allow access to ASDM when launched from a web browser. Attempts to connect through the ASDM application respond with "Unable to connect to x.x.x.x".

If the devices are using the default self-signed certificate dynamically generated during boot-up they could have rebooted and thus changed their certificates (which would then have to be trusted anew by Java).
To avoid this, we generally try to use persistent certificates on the ASAs.
If that's the case for your, it's a good opportunity to generate a new certificate (using a 2048-but RSA key if you don't already have one) and bind it to the interface(s) you manage from.

The camera app doesn't start from lock screen

One of the new features in IOS 5 is the ability to start the camera from teh lock screen. However, my phone doesn't allow this. Was this function built into the final release version of IOS 5?

This feature is not working on my iPad 2. When I double-click the Home button--in lock-screen position-- the iPod features appear at the top of my screen, as they always have. The photostream icon remains in place to the right of my Home screen slide lock. No camera icon comes up anywhere. I have photostream set to off and tried switching it to on, to see if this would make a difference; it does not. I'm very computer and device-literate. The problem isn't in the way I'm double-clicking the Home button. This feature is definitely not working on my iPad 2.

Share application data between 2 ipads when the app doesn't run on a PC

Hello - we have (2) iPADs and on both we purchased a landlord software. We want to be able to have the data shared automatically between both iPADS. The application itself does not have an option to do this (whereas applications like "our groceries" allow for dynamic updates of the grocery list between 2 iPADs).
The application does not have a MAC/PC based software so we can't "remote control" a PC or MAC.
Are there any 3rd party applications that would take the app data to the cloud so we can share the data? Or - are there any applications that let you remotely access one iPAD from another? This would be a way to share the data.
Note that synching via iTunes is not really an option as it's just this one app that we want to share.
Any ideas?

Frothandpeppy-
Is there an option to print anything? If so, look there to see if it also includes an option to send data via eMail.
I suggest you contact the program developer and explain what you are trying to do. It might be easy for them to add a way to transfer the data via eMail, if they don't have a better alternative.
Fred
