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.

  • 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.

  • 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?

  • Please Help - iTunes installer won't run on double-click

    I am facing a reload of Win 7 x64 tonight if I don't get this fixed. When I run the installer all it does is create a temp folder and put an .msi in there. Nothing else happens. No errors or messages, no hung processes. nothing.
    I've completely uninstalled itunes and every apple product. I've tried QuickTime independently and it does the same thing. The Windows installer is clean with no Apple entries. I initially got the message "itunes + QuickTime have an invalid signature" when trying to upgrade from 9.1 to 9.2 which prompted me to completely remove everything. My iPhone4 is coming Thursday so I've got to get this working!!
    thanks all.

    I had this same problem. I followed the instructions on how to use MSCONFIG listed here: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1275
    In my case, iTunes & Quicktime were already uninstalled, so I just skipped the step about checking "qtask" & "iTunes Helper."
    I used MSCONFIG to re-boot in selective start up mode. Then, I fully shutdown Virus protection. The iTunes installer ran after doing this.

  • HT4314 how do I turn off a game after playing so the app won't run down my battery?

    How do I turn off a game after playing it so the app won't run down the battery. This has happened 2x and I have had to reset my phone.

    To completely close an app (though a lot of apps don't remain active when you switch into a different app or go to the homescreen) : from the home screen (i.e. not with the app that you want to close 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.

  • InDesign files won't open with double click

    InDesign files won't open with double click on my MacPro with Snow Leopard although they do open from external hard drives when I double click.

    Thank you very much,you were correct, it appears the mouse clicks were set too fast. Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to answer my question.

    how do I now close apps the old way of double clicking Siri button and touching the app no longer works

    There isn't currently a way to edit or control which apps appear in the 'open in' list apart from deleting (or deleting and reinstalling) apps - you could try leaving feedback and maybe in the future we'll have some sort of control : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

  • Itunes won't respond to double clicking on a song once another song is play

    hi. i open itunes, double click on a track and then if i want to play another track i double click on it but itunes won't respond and just keeps playing the original track. if i click on the track, it will highlight but won't play when double clicked. it will however play if i highlight with a single click and hit return. why is this happening. it never used to happen and doesn't on my other computer.

    QuickTime X wouldn't have given the error message if it could have opened the file.
    There are many file formats and codecs it can't view.

  • Photo Album Won't Run From Internet

    CS4 - I posted earlier that my photo albums won't run from the internet but runs from my computer and from a flash drive. I have rebuilt it probably 10 times. The URL is http://www.kandjreynoldsconstruction.com/gallery/index.html. Albums that I've built before are still running. Any Help would be great. Donna

    Be sure that all the necessary supporting elements—javascripts, css, and images—have been uploaded to the server as well, using the same folder structure as the local version of your photo album. (Based on a look at the index page's source code, it seems that elements may be missing.)

  • HT201210 Can the OS for an iPod Touch be updated beyond 3.1.3?  iTunes tells me that this is the latest software but many apps won't run on this older os.

    If you have a 1G (first generation) iPod touch then it can only go to iOS 3.1.3. To identify yours:

    Hi Tobbi,
    SL version 4. Reinstalled many times. Running Windows 7.
    Not sure exactly what version I was running prior to 3.6.6.
    Tried version 4 beta - didn't work. Found 3.5 and it works.
    When I run, I get the white screen with the dots going around in a circle forever (Silverlight loading thing). I could send you a screen shot, but I really don't want to go back to 3.6.6.
    I set a break point at the earliest possible place in my code and it never gets there.
    Thanks

  • Apps won't go from CPU to touch

    This should really be plug and play.......unbeivable how un-user friendly this thing is. I have a 32gig touch that I purchased games for through the itunes store. the apps are on my CPU but will not transfer to the touch! I was told by apple support to update the version for $4.95, so I did, threw that $$ away with no help. I've tried to "deauthorize" and then re"authorize" my CPU, no help. I've tried to drag and drop from "Apps" to "my device" which doesn't work, it gives me a "No" symbol. So now my 7 year old keeps asking when he can play his games...........who knows son? Anyone have the secret decoder ring out there? thanks.

    im having the same problem "apps won't go from CPU to touch" and i'm really getting frustrated, spent couple of days now reading forums for solutions & troubleshooting this device.
    originally ive use a windows xp to set up the device & i was able to get apps both paid & free with no hassle and now all i want to do is to put new apps on my iTouch using a new pc (windows vista) which i've already authorized/de-authorized/authorized again with my iTunes store acct. though i was able to get new apps from the store on this new pc, for some reason it wont transfer on to my iTouch.
    there shouldnt be a problem using a new pc to get new apps right? but i dont know why im getting all this drama. PLEASE HELP!
