Automator has stopped working since upgrade to snow leopard

I frequently use Automator to scale groups of images, but since upgrading to 10.6.8 it will no longer work.  I can get files from folders, can copy and rename them, but scale does not work.  I get the message "The action "Scale Images" was not supplied with the required data."  I have tried a variety of image types to see if that was the problem, and tried with a single file that was re-scaled in a previous workflow.  I always get the same error message. 
Any ideas?

  • GCC Elite 21n+ Printer Stop working after Upgrade to Snow Leopard

    GCC Elite 21n+ B&W Laser Printer no longer works after upgrading to Snow Leopard 10.6.2.
    A back-up HP 2015DN Printer works intermittently. It will not work with ethernet cable connected to Net Gear Ethernet Hub (model FS105). But will work most of the time when ethernet cable is connected directly to back of computer.
    Back to GCC printer. Just cannot get it to work.
    But I cannot figure out what the IP address is for the GCC printer. Tried 192.168.1.4:9300
    See post (discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=10127869). Still did not work.
    GCC tech have this work around. Here is what I received from GCC via email.
    +At 01/02/2010 12:21 AM we wrote -+
    +Since Apple has made the decision to eliminate Appletalk from it's Operating System, you are now forced to set the printer up over TCP/IP. Please keep in mind that GCC has never provided drivers for the Mac. We use the Apple Built in Print Driver. We do provide an OS X PPD Installer located on our website that I recommend you download, unstuff, install, reboot your Mac, then add the printer. You can find the Installer at http://www.gccprinters.com/support/doc/ Click on the Model of your printer and download the OS X Installer. DO NOT download the Applications Folder.+
    +You will need to set the printer up over TCP/IP, which means you will need to pull the IP Address of the printer from the Printers Configuration Page. Once you've done that, please do the following:+
    +You can add the printer over IP, that should work fine. Here are some steps for you to take.+
    +1) Select 'System Preferences...' (4th item) from the 'Apple' menu. The 'System Preference' panel will appear as a new window.+
    +2) Click on 'Print & Fax' icon (second row 'Hardware', second icon from right side). The 'System Preferences' panel will change into the 'Print & Fax' panel without opening a new window.+
    +3) Click on the '+' button to add a printer (2/3 the way down on the left side on the 'Print & Fax' panel). The 'Add Printer' dialog will open in a new window.+
    +4) Select the 'IP' icon in the top row of the 'Add Printer' dialog.+
    +5) Next to 'Protocol' select LPD Line Printer Daemon.+
    +6) Next to 'Address' type in the IP address you assigned to the printer. The Mac should prompt "complete and valid address".+
    +7) (Optionally) Next to 'Name' set the name of the printer to something friendlier. Normally it defaults to the IP address enter in the previous step. The 'Name' is what the printer is called in the print dialog.+
    +8) (Optionally) Next to 'Print Using' change/verify the PPD.+
    +9) Click 'Add' in the bottom right corner. After a few moments the 'Add Printer' dialog will close.+
    +10) The printer added in the previous step will appear in the list on the left side of the 'Print & Fax' panel. Click on the close box in the left-top of the 'Print & Fax' panel.+
    +11) Done. You should be ready to print.+
    Still cannot get the GCC printer to work or discover its IP address. Printer's Configuration page says
    TCP/IP: Enabled IP address: Unknown subnet Mask 255.255.255.0
    When I download the Drivers from GCC Web Site I only get a Text Document with loads of meaningless
    gibberish. There is nothing to unstuff and install.
    All worked well with OS 10.5.
    Thanks for shedding any light.

    Thanks,

    Hello John,
    At this stage you will not be able to get this to print until the printer has a valid IP address. According to your post, the IP address setting is enabled but the actual IP address is unknown. This is most likely a result of the GCC being set to DHCP but if there is no DHCP server or router capable of assigning the printer an IP address, then it will not get a valid address.
    So, the first thing I recommend is you check the documentation for manually setting an IP address into the printer. This address needs to be in the same subnet as your Mac. If you check System Preferences > Network on the Mac, you will see your IP address and subnet mask. If the subnet mask is set to 255.255.255.0, then you subnet will be the first three sets of numbers. For example, a device with an IP address of 192.168.1.12 and a subnet mask of 255.255.255.0 has a subnet of 19.2.168.1 and a network address of 12. Ideally, so that other devices can communicate with this device, they also need a subnet of 192.168.1 but a different network address, any number between 1 and 250 but one that is not already being used by another device, such as 12 in this example.
    Once you have the IP address set in the printer, then you add the printer as the GCC tech stated, using IP > LPD for the protocol. Note that you will only need to enter the IP address, such as 192.168.1.4 as per your post example. Don't enter any other numbers, such as the 9300 port reference you have tried already the colon after the IP address followed by the 9300).
    For the Print Using, you can use Generic PostScript to begin with as a test. If you then wanted to use the GCC PPD, then the link is okay. When you select the 21+n the next page shows the 21+ installer for OS 9 and OS X. This is a stuffit packed file so you will need some form of Stuffit (Stuffit Expander is a free download) to unpack the file first. Once unpacked, there is most likely an installer that you run. This will copy the PPD files for the printer to the appropriate folder.
    Hope this helps. Please reply if you require more help.

  • My vga  cable has stopped working since upgrading my ipad2 to ios8 - why?

    I Use my ipad2 to give presentations via a projector or tv screen. When I updated to ios8 it stopped working. I get a message like"accessory not supported".
    The cable and presentations etc still works fine on my iPhone 4s which is still running ios7, so it can't be the cable.
    Just tried upgrading the ipad to ios 8.1.1 but it makes no difference.
    anybody know a fix?

    I just bought a dock connector to VGA cable so I could use my 3rd generation iPad with my Epson projector. My IPad shows up through my projector for a few seconds then I get that same message on my iPad that my cable is not supported by this iPad. Your post gave me some answers. it must be that latest big OS upgrade that caused that. Now Apple needs to fix that.

  • Microphone has stopped working since upgrade

    Microphone doesn't work since os upgrade. It will work, though, when my earphones are plugged in. Any ideas?

    Try a reset: hold down the home button along with the power button until you see the Apple, then let go.

  • Optical drive on MacBook Pro has stopped working since upgrade to Mavericks

    I upgraded to Mac OSX 10.9 almost as soon as it was released, but I only discovered two days ago that any optical disk: CD/movie DVD, DL DVD etc that I insert in to my late 2008 MacBook Pro just spins up for a few seconds, then gets ejected.
    I really hope Apple have noticed this issue, because there are many other people reporting the same problem. I will have to consider reverting to Snow Leopard if a fix is not released soon.

  • Volume keyboard shortcut not working (since upgrade to Snow Leopard)

    The following keyboard shortcut commands, when I have upgraded to OS 10.6 a couple of months ago, have stopped working:
    Command-Up Arrow
    Command-Down Arrow
    (They control the volume of the iTunes application itself)
    Apparently they still exist according to: http://www.apple.com/itunes/how-to/shortcuts.html
    I have the newest version of OS X and itunes, respectively: 10.6.2 and 9.0.2

    Try adding every drive to Spotlight's Privacy Pane in System Preferences>Spotlight, wait a few minutes & remove them, then wait a few hours/days to see if it's better.
    Though slower, in the intterim, you might try...

  • App installers do not work since upgrading to Snow Leopard

    Can't upgrade Flash. Can't upgrade iTunes. When I get to the "Install" button in the installer app, I click it and it does nothing. Anyone else?

    FIGURED IT OUT.
    Font conflicts. (I use FontCase app to manage my fonts.) I deleted Monaco.dfont, Geneva.dfont, Helvetica.dfont, Keyboard.dfont, LastResort.dfont, and LucidaGrande.dfont, and everything works again.
    This came after I phoned Apple Support, ran disk permissions repair something, and reinstalled Snow Leopard. Hope it helps someone else.

  • Optical Drive has stopped working since upgrading to ATI 9800

    Due to hardware failure of my ATI Radeon 9600 I decided to upgrade to the 9800, which requires (in G5's) a four pin split power supply to be connected to the optical drive.
    I have turned my computer on and successfully receive signal out to my monitors, but thus discovered I can't eject the disk tray!
    I opened up the computer again and all the connection seem fine.....
    Is anyone familiar with installing the 9800?

    Thanks for both your responses.
    I am going to restore the system with the other video card and try to get things back to normal, but I did a few more troubleshoots.
    The optical drive seems to be functioning. I started up my computer with the side panel opened and I moved the drive a few inches out in order to press the manual eject button. I was able to open the drive bay and close it by pressing the eject button on my keyboard. (That is the first time the keyboard worked.)
    I closed the drive bay with an installer CD in it but the CD wouldn't read. I restarted holding the C key down to try and boot off the CD drive- nothing. So I guess the drive isn't working....but yet it seems to be powered????
    Do you think this is really only a bad cable? When installing the new Video Card I had a very hard time detaching the 4 pin power supply from the optical drive. Could I have damaged something?
    It wouldn't surprise me if now my optical drive was broken. I have had to replace everything on my computer since it reached three years old.

  • My time capsule has stopped working since installing Yosemite. It says to wait to tell me how much longer but it stays that way for hours.

    My time machine has stopped working since I upgraded to Yosemite. It gets to the point that says it will estimate the time remaining, but it never gives me that answer and it just stays on that page and never completes it's backup. This is a brand new macpro, so I wanted to capture the previous info on my computer I was able to put my external hard drive on new computer and it did the migration and all my old info returned. However, two days later I wanted to do a backup using Time Machine with my Western Digital Mac external hard drive but it won't progress past saying how much time remaining, even after several hours of sitting there.

    You do need to wait a long time.. as it takes a long while for Yosemite to index the existing backup if it is large.
    Here is Apple's List of bad things that happen to TM in Yosemite.
    OS X Yosemite: Time Machine problems
    It is clearly no where near as comprehensive as it needs to be.
    I presume your disk has your old backup.. it may be better to keep the old backup.. save that for the future.. and get a new disk and start a fresh clean backup.
    I would also recommend using Carbon Copy Cloner or similar for the time being. Make a bootable clone backup of your drive to a new external drive.. it is really superior in lots of ways to Time Machine. And does show you what it is doing.
    For TM at least you can still use the widget so you have some log access to that TM does.

  • Since upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, twice I've been unable to get my screen saver to release back to my working desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

    Since upgrading to Snow Leopard yesterday, twice I've been unable to get my screen saver to release back to my working desktop. Anybody else have this issue?

    For a few users, since some point in OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard, there has been an occasional problem when trying to wake from sleep if you have Bluetooth enabled for the keyboard, Magic Mouse, Trackpad, etc.
    The solution for me that worked 100% of the time was: System Preferences>Energy Saver and set 'computer sleep' to 'never'.
    For me, the problem ran intermittently through 10.6.something, all of 10.7 and now, finally, seems to be resolved in 10.8.2.

  • Face time has stopped working since update on iPad and iPhone

    My face time has stopped working since both my iPad 2 and iPhone 4S did their iOS 6.1 update. They just say that a connection cannot be made, or FaceTime unavailable. Both devices are sitting beside each other, both have excellent wifi. If you try to FaceTime one of the devices, it will ring once and then lose the connection. Apple account details are all fine, FaceTime is switched on, on both. Kind of lost and frustrated now

    Hey guys,
    So I also noticed a few weeks ago facetime stopped working on my iphone but was still working on my ipad2 and macbook pro.
    Phone - iphone 4
    os version - 6.1.3
    carrier - at&t 14.2
    location - usa
    I use the same apple id for all devices
    I searched online for a fix and/or troubleshooting help. I tried alot of the suggestions on this discussion as well as others but nothing seemed to work. Out of frustration, I finally reached out to apple tech support. I went through the entire trouble shooting steps with an apple technician and was even transferred to a senior advisor for additional help. We tried everything from resetting passwords, resetting icloud accounts, resetting phone settings, checking network settings, resetting date & time, resetting location, making sure push and multitasking functionalities were working properly, etc. We spent a couple hours troubleshooting trying everything but nothing worked. The apple tech said I would have to restore the os and if that didn't work, the only other thing to do would be to send in my phone. But he did stress that I had to restore as a NEW device.
    I backed up my phone using iclould and my computer (everything is synced) and restored as a new device. I tested facetime and it worked, however my phone was back to factory position which is not ideal. So I went to itunes and restored my most resent backup. I got all my phone contents back but FaceTime no longer worked. I called the apple senior advisor back and he said I would not be able to restore from a backup because there seemed to be an issue with it that prevented FaceTime from working properly. So I backed up what I could to itunes and iCloud then restored my phone as new. After the restore, it prompted me to install the carrier software update which I did. Then I used itunes to sync my music, apps, contacts, mail, videos, pics, etc. I did this yesterday and facetime has been working properly since then. However certain things I was not able to recover.
    So far, these are the things I noticed have been lost with the restore:
    - all my settings (everything went back to default/factory)
    - voicemail messages greater than 30 days old
    - all text and iMessages (but I still have copies of imessage conversations on my iPad and mac)
    - data stored within apps (you start fresh like when you first downloaded the app. some apps i have online accounts that sync but most apps the data is lost)
    - screen display configurations
    - notes that were only on phone and not synced with an email account
    Out of all my research, this has been the only thing to get facetime working again. But on the downside, it does take a lot of time to backup, restore, re-sync, and then set up my phone similarly to how I previously had things. The big thing for me was the loss of my apps data. I wish there was a way to restore that. But when all is said and done, I'm glad to have FaceTime back on my phone.
    If you are not quite ready to restore, check out this discussion for other suggestions you can try first:

    I hope you guys find this useful.

    go to mail.
    click "mail" at the top.
    click "preferences...".
    find the account you are having trouble with, once you do, make sure its highlighted, then click the "-" at the bottom of the window (this will only effect that mail account, it will not effect your ical weather or not its synced thought that email account)
    hit the "+" (right next to the "-") and add your accout back!
