Automator.app wont run in leopard

When I click on automator app I get the folowing message - You cannot use the application “Automator.app” with this version of Mac OS X. Can someone help me with this? Thanks.

Most likely Automator.app didn't upgrade correctly when you upgraded to leopard. You can either reinstall leopard (this might be a bit extreme in your situation) or reinstall only automator from the leopard install DVD. This can be done using shareware called Pacifist http://www.charlessoft.com/. The usage of Pacifist is pretty self-explanatory but post here if you have difficulties.

My internet or apps wont run unless theres a wi fi connection

my internet and apps wont run unless i have a wi fi connetion, they wont run on internet service i have with my provider.

And if you can do that you might want to try reseting all settings, If you cant connect to Safari with your Cellular network you might want to call your provider and see if there is some thing up with your service.

Labview app wont run on fresh reboot unless MAX is started.

I am a Labview NOOB. I am the only IT here and started about a year ago and basically got thrown into the "labview" with 0 labview experience.I had to take an xp machine and turn it into a win 7 machine.
Here's some specs: labview 8.2 32bit running on windows 7 32 bit with IO libraries 16. Driving a gpip to usb 34970A data aquisition unit and a temperature compensation oven. Heres the situation. When i restart the PC my "temp_comp.exe"(application that labview consultant wrote) will not run. I get a few errors One as soon as i start the app: "oven Communication Fault" and one when i try to run the oven with shortened testing times and temp:
error 107387202 occurred at visa close in HP34970A close.vi-
34970A_read.vi>measure oven temp.vi->wait for oven to reach temp vi-
a comp loop.vi - a test loop sequence.vi>main temp comp.vi
Possible reasons VISA: hex 0xbfff009e a code library required by VISA could not be located or loaded.
I have reformatted a machine with xp and was able to get this running fine.
So here's the kicker. If i open up MAX and expand the devices and interfaces tree the program works fine and dandy. no errors. I have ran 3 batches in the oven over night with no problems. I figured i would just do an easy work around and have the max program start during startup but i have to manually expand the devices and interfaces tree before it will work.
Any ideas will be super helpfull Cheers!
Solved!

It never ceases to amaze me what managers think is possible. It would be difficult for even an experienced LabVIEW programmer to port a LabVIEW app from XP to Windows 7 using a version of LabVIEW not supported on the operating system. Tell them you'll see them in a few months.
I ran into an issue once where a vendor's Win7 dll had different default settings than the priginal and we couldn't figure out why we couldn't communicate with the I/O card. Seems that they inverted the address bits as default. Of course, there was no documantation on the change - unless you count the source code itself.
It was an intentional change which would make sense if you were someone who bought a new card and never used the old dll before. But guess what? The card was already obsolte/unsupported, so there AREN'T GOING TO BE ANY NEW USERS!

Is there a keyboard shortcut to abort a running Automator app

I have ceated an automator app that takes control of the mouse and does a couple of things with it. A couple of times, for different reasons I would have loved to have been able to abort my automator app.
Is there a keyboard short cut that can do that? I have tried ESC without success.
While the automator app is running a liitle cog appears on the menu bar. If I'm quick enough and the mouse is still for long enough, I can click on that cog and that has an option to kill the app, so the functionality is there.
Thanks.

Hi fane_j, thanks for the answer.
I don't know, it must be old age, why did'nt I think of Automator Help???
And you were right, the shortcut doesn't work in practice. How did you know that would be the case? Is Automator known to be a bit of a dud app?
Its not what I'd have expected, as I said the "Stop" fetaure of the cog in the menu bar works great (so long as the mouse isn't moving around uncontrollably). Ya'd think the shortcut would work the exact same.
Whats that ⎋ key. I don't seem to have it on my keyboard. (It looks like the time machine menu bar icon) Perhaps that may work?

How to run an Automator app at a specific scheduled time?

Hi all,
I know this question has been answered before, but the only info I can find on it is extremely dated.
How can I run an Automator app (rsync backup) at a specific scheduled daily time?

One way is to use launchd. The easiest way is with Lingon (search in the App store)
Then in the run input box use "open" i.e: open "/users/tony/scripts/rsyncbu.app"

How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5 on a mac running Snow Leopard 6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0?

I'm running 10.6.8 Snow Leopard fine on my MacPro1,1, Dual-Core Intel Xeon, 2.66 GHz Mac, but I need to install Lion 10.7.0 to run a program I need.How do I install OS 10.7 NOT 10.7.5, because I get this message when I try to install 10.7.5, which I've downloaded:"This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7." on a mac running Snow Leopard 10.6.8, So i need to install the original 10.7.0 over the 10.6.8 i.e. where can I find the original install app for Lion OS 10.7.0? The original Lion 10.7. is not avaialable for purchase from the App store or anywhere, even C-Net . Where can I find it to purchase?
Also it seems I cannot install Mountain Lion over 10.6.8 as advertised. When I go to purchase I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS X Mountain Lion is not compatible with this computer." I think my computer can handle it (specs above) Are there any workarounds to this?

If you're getting a "This update requires Mac OS X version 10.7" message, than you have the updater and not the full installer. Go to your Purchases section of the Mac App Store and you should see the full version there. But it may be 10.7.5, though in my system is shows as being from 2011 which would appear to be the original version.
As to Mountain Lion, that's supported only on the Early 2008 Mac Pro or newer.
Regards.

I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

Thanks Dirk,
Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

I can't find the mac app store on my imac. i am running snow leopard, and i have run "update software" several times. what's up?

I am trying to upgrade to Lion. I need to go through Mac App store to buy it. I need to get the Mac App store icon in my dock. I have run Update Software several times, trying to get the Mac App store onto my iMac, but with no luck. It doesn't show up in the dock, it doesn't show up in Finder under Applications, and it doesn't show up when I search in Searchlight for App Store, Store, Mac App Store, etc. What am I doing wrong?

I am running snow leopard
James....
You arne't necessarily doing anything wrong.
Install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo
That should reinstall the App Store for you.
Restart your Mac after the combo is finished installing.
You should see the App Store icon in the Dock and be able to access from your Apple menu also.
Make sure your Mac meet's Lion's requirements

I am trying to upgrade two MACs to Maverick. I have been successful with My Power Mac but unable to get my Imac to load. I am running Snow Leopard on the Imac. When I go to the App Store it shows that it has been downloaded. Any ideas? Any ideas

You stated; " I have been successful with My Power Mac "
A Power Mac is incapable of being upgraded to Mavericks. It is a PPC Mac which can only run versions of OS X up to 10.5.8 and no higher. Any version of OS X higher that 10.5.8 requires an Intel processor to run.
Does the iMac meet the hardware requirements for Mavericks?

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")

How can I obtain the Pages app which I previously purchased from the App store for Snow Leopard? The only download now available is for Mountain Lion which my computer can't run. Thanks

Try Amazon but look for the iWork suite of software. It's only sold separately as Pages, Keynote, and Numbers from the App Store.

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 to Send B'day Emails Finds Phantom B'days

I've wrote an Automator app to scan my Addressbook send birthday greetings on friend's birthdays. The app comprises the following Actions:
i) Find people with Birthdays (today)
ii) Get selected Addressbook people
iii) Send Birthday greetings
The app runs fine except for the fact that it frequently generates emails for people whose birthday isn't on the day the app is run. The app worked fine under Leopard but not since I upgraded to Snow Leopard. The only other thing I can think of is that after the upgrade to SL, I utilized Addressbook's new ability to sync with Google. Ideas anyone? Many thanks!
This was running flawlessly under Leopard.

I think you’re in the wrong forum: looks like you want [Using Snow Leopard|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1339] or [Mail & Address Book|http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1338].
