Automator: can I make it refresh a web page?

Sorry if this is off topic for this forum. I want to create an Automator script that will periodically refresh my Firefox (or Safari if need be) window. Playing with the program and searching online have not given me any real starting points. Can you direct me to a resource for programming this, or tell me if it is even possible? Thanks!

I have experienced similar problems.
After a while you realize you got stuck, made a mistake, started on the wrong track.
Solution is simple : start over again and do it right.
And no, you cannot change your pages into blogpages.

How can i make a soft return with pages shift enter does not work!

how can i make a soft return with pages shift plus enter does not work!!

On full keyboards with a numeric keypad, the key above the right shift is "return" & the one on the numeric section is "enter." On a Mac (or Apple IIgs ) they do have separate functions. On the "mini" keyboards, both names are on the same key, but "enter" is written in smaller letters. I'll have to check to see how that works on another Mac later today.

Can't get to links on web pages

I can't get to links on web pages , shrink or enlarge the web page or show the other web pages that are open?The back arrow does work

Go to the Home screen and double click the Home button. That will reveal the row of recently used apps at the bottom of the screen. Tap and hold on the app in question until it wiggles and displays a minus sign. Tap the minus sign to actually quit the app. Then tap anywhere on the screen above that bottom row to return the screen to normal. Then restart the app and see if it works normally.

How can I airprint part of a web page using iPad and Safari?

Copy (or cut) the area you want to print, and paste it in to a new document.
Or take a screen shot (by simultaneously holding Shift + Command + 4 keys) of the area you want to print, then print the resulting screen shot file (which appears on your desktop).

You would have to do a lot of modification to the epub output produced by Pages. Do a google search on "fixed layout epub" to find info on how it is done. E.g.

How can you get firefox to refresh a web page like every few hours to keeep you logged into a account

not really a trouble it would just be handy to be able to set firefox to refresh a page thats loaded at a set interval eg 1-5hours because I come home from work and I'm logged out of web page like if someone resets router etc

also on pages like this so i could keep tab open and see replies without just by switching tabs and not needing to refresh when i do this I know this seems lazy but would be helpful if someone knows a way

Can't ping or get printer web page or print via hostname

Ok, this has me stupped on my iMac running Mavericks. I just added my Kyocera printer as an IP printer but used the host name instead of an IP address, sounds simple so far.
Before doing this, I change the default host name in the Kyocera printer to "Kyocera" (without quotations). Add printer found the device and came up with the correct PPD for the model number and all was good at this point. I sent a printer test page which again worked fine.
I then opened Safari and entered the printers IP address to make sure I could bring up the configuration web page for the device and this indeed works fine, at this point I retype the address in the address bar as Kyocera.local and again the page refreshed and came up fine, Yippee!! so I added it to Safari's Favourites Bar, all good!
Since then, I can still get to the devices home config page via the IP address, but it will no longer find the page via the save Kyocera.local link in the favorites bar or retyping it in the address bar.
I have tried network utility and pinging the device, IP address ping works fine but Kyocera.local says unknown host. Tried the next obvious step and that was to see if printing fails now as well and indeed it too fails as it was still configured to print to the host name as it was when I successfully printed the inbuilt printer test page. I deleted the printer and added the IP printer via the IP address not the hostname and printer now prints fine.
Does anyone know why printing via the host name and bringing up the printers config web page both worked for the first time but fails from there on in????
DNS settings were set to Auto from ISP, I also tried google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 and even just adding the local bob router address in as an option but nothing works, but it did initially.
I install and repair printers for a living and have come across this when installing scan to FTP on a mac and rarely if ever can I get it to work scanning to FTP via the Mac's name for example, Jims-imac.local, just won't find it with or without the .local, but change it to the Mac's IP address and scan to FTP works great. Problem is that if the customer has their Mac getting IP address via DHCP, I have to advise the customer that if scan to FTP stops working, to check that the IP address on the Mac has not changed, and if it has, then change the scan to FTP settings on the scanner to the new IP address that the Mac has now been given from the DHCP server.
Not the best way to go about it. Why can't Mac's just find devices and devices find Mac's? Windows is so straight forward, what am I missing?
Any help would be appreciated.

Damo

Hi,
First of all let me clarify your trial.
Where is your monitoring server?
Is it behind inside or outside interface (please share ip adress)?
From config it seems, it can be reach via outside interface. Then you have to make snmp check on outside interface, not on inside (cannot make a snmp/ping check on inside interface with request comming through outside inteface - it simply won't work).
From the first check of routing table, I would suggest:
delete : route outside MCCC_Outside 255.255.255.255 1.1.1.1 1 - doesn't make a sense route host address, when it's directly connected network (and more, route 1.1.1.2 to 1.1.1.1, when 1.1.1.1 is vlan2 interface)
change : route outside 172.31.0.0 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.1 1; route outside Domain 255.255.0.0 192.168.1.1 1 - you should consider route it to 1.1.1.2 (if this is your next hop address at WAN).
route outside VLAN10 255.255.255.0 MCCC_Outside 1 - why?
I would use default route to somewhere at 1.1.1.0/24 range - next hop (router).
HTH,
Pavel

All iWeb options are greyed-out, and can't make a new sites or pages.

Hello,
I am having a very annoying problem with iWeb. Every option is greyed-out! I can't make a new page or site, and it quits as soon as I close the iWeb window. It is version 1.1.2 I have tried installing useless updates for iWeb that did nothing, and I've tried to open iWeb from iPhoto by clicking the iWeb button, which also did nothing. I'm just about to give up on it.
Can anybody please point me in the right direction or have a fix for this? All help will be appreciated!

Hi ineedagoodalias,
The answer to your problem isn't necessarily the simplest, but I'm 99% sure that it will work for you.
You need to delete and reinstall iWeb. Not hard to do; you just need your installation DVD's that came with your machine.
Drag the iWeb.app from your Applications folder to the trash. Spotlight for other elements of iWeb, and trash those as well. Empty the trash and restart your machine.
On your recovery disks, as you move through the prompts, look for "Install bundled software". Customize the install to include only iWeb. After reinstalling iWeb you will be back to 1.0.1.
Update the app to 1.1.1 directly from this link:
http://www.apple.com/support/downloads/iweb111.html
This will get you going, and you can update to 1.1.2 when you are sure everything is working properly. For other FAQ on iWeb, please see this link:

Be sure to let us know how it goes.

How can I get a Japanese flash web page to display 100% correctly?

I've tried everything I can think of but I can't get some of this web site's font to display correctly. Some of the flash shows in the correct, Japanese, characters, but some of it shows as code. If I log in as a different user, and set that user's International Language preferences to Japanese, the web page displays correctly. But, when I change users, and go back to the English user, the page displays in a mix of Japanese and messed-up code.
Here is the page: http://weathernews.jp/livecam/
If I click onto a different page of that website, http://weathernews.jp/map/
the writing appears as Japanese in the box, at the bottom of the map.
But, if you click on that map, and zoom in 3-times, to the city level, the font in the box under the hourly weather and weekly weather appears as code, and not Japanese.
I'm guessing that it is a problem with the computer booting-up as being English or Japanese, and the browser, then not being able to detect which version of flash to run, the Japanese or English version, cannot display the font correctly.
Why does it happen only on some pages and not all of the pages on that site?
Can it be fixed?
If so, how?
Thanks!

Yeah, I tried Opera and Firefox, but I get the same garbled text. The only thing that makes that page open and display correctly is switching to a different user, and making that user's main language Japanese, in the international settings.
Of course none of this is all that important, I mean, it's about viewing a weather page, but I am just curious why some of the Flash is read or written so that an English language set user can see some of it displayed correctly, but not all of it, where as a user set to Japanese language settings can get all pages correctly.
I know it has to do with how the Flash Macromedia sees the main language setting for the computer, but what I don't get, is how come a user using Japanese as the main language can read English and Japanese Flash pages (pages with English commanded Java come up correctly), but using English as the main language only allows me to view Flash pages written using English commands. Can I change my Flash program to read Japanese pages, without changing my computers main language to Japanese? Or am I stuck with a Flash program that must match the main language the user is using?

I can right click to copy a web page link, but it will not let me rick click again to paste the link to the body of text

I use firefox as my web browser. My start page is www.msn.com where I can access hotmail. Once I have logged into hotmail and click on (Create) new mail I have this problem. If I go to a web page link, ie; www.msn.com, I can highlite the address and then right click to copy. When I go to the body of the email I'm working with, and right click again to paste I DO NOT GET A SCREEN THAT HAS PASTE ON IT. I tried this again by logging into Internet Explorer signed into my hot mail account and tried it again. It works in IE with hotmail. So I feel this problem has been encountered with a firefox update, because I did not have the problem in the past.

How can I Append the same (altered) web page to the same Acrobat 9 Pro PDF file more than once

The Acrobat 9 Pro utility in IE 8 of the Windows 7 Pro OS has a selection to "Append to Existing PDF," however it only allows appending the same web page one time only. if the majoriety of the page data content is changed by selecting list item at the top of the page, I need to (re-)add the page with new content to the same (selected) PDF file, however the utilitiy does not allow this due to its maintaining a special index of each page base on the page URL or name. Can the this index or the page itself be changed whenever the page is altered to make Acrobat think it is a new page?

I don't use IE, but I would suspect you can clear the cache or such to reset this option. You could also just open the web site directly in Acrobat and play the game there.
