Automator Help With Mouse Movement and Click

Hi all, thanks in advance for any help you can give me.
I'm trying to use Automator to go into my Volume Purchasing Program purchase history (in Chrome) and download each redemption code spreadsheet. I will need the automator script to scroll to the bottom of the page and click 'More Purchases', wait for the page to load, and repeat that many many times. (I have a lot of purchases on my account.) Then I would like to write a second script that I will run after all of the purchases are shown that will click 'Download Codes' for each line. I've done this by hand for over 2 hours now and still have a long ways to go. Figured Automator could help me out.
Any tips on how to accomplish this? I've tried recording my actions but when I play it back, it won't even switch to Chrome.

I have not found automator to be very good at doing this kind of thing.
It is theoretically possible to have applescripts imbedded in Automator that will choose from a dropdown menu, but I have also not found that to be too reliable.
I have had much better luck with Startly - QuicKeys 4 for Mac OS X

Help with the movies and the latest version of itunes (vers 11)

So i need some help -
i have an imac desktop - i have an external hard drive hooked up to my time machine. all of my itunes media is on the that external HD - my issue is this -
- i buy a movie via itunes store - it downloads to my preference set up external hard drive. Once its downloaded - i am missing artwork for the movie, and when i go to play it, it reads Itunes does not support QT. In the previous itunes all i had to do is delete the new movie from my itunes libaray and copy/drag it back into the libary and that would fix all the problems - i had artwork and it would work via itunes.
- Since i migrated to to the new itunes 11, this little trick does not work - when i delete and drag over the file, it now shows up in the "home video" section - i have no artwork and cannot watch the movie. This is even the case with downloaded TV shows -
Any suggestions on this? it was very frustrating that i had to do this maintainence before, but now it nothing seems to work.

You cannot install the latest version of iTunes (11.x) using Mac OS X 10.5 (as shown in your signature).
Apple menu > Software update. this will update all Apple software on your computer to the latest compatible version (which is not the same as the latest version).
If you want to go higher than Mac OS 10.5, you need to get the 10.6 Snow Leopard DVD.

Need example vi for simulating mouse movements and clicks

I need an example vi that allows me to set the cursor position and simulate mouse left and right clicks, including double clicks. The examples in the development library work up to LabVIEW version 6, but not for version 7, because no block diagrams were included. Thanks.

Hello �
Take a look at this example program at NI Developer Zone. It will allow you set the position of the mouse cursor.
Hope this helps!

Need help with rented movies and Apple TV

I rented two movies from the iTunes Store from my laptop rather than my Apple TV. I cannot get the rented movies to show up on my Apple TV. I've tried to "move" the two movies from my laptop to Apple TV via the Apple TV tab in iTunes where it shows both movies under a "Rented Movies" section and gives me the option to "move" each one to my Apple TV, but when I click on each movie to move it to the Apple TV and then hit "Apply," nothing happens (at least as far as I can tell). Is there someplace special I need to find rented movies using my Apple TV remote? I clearly need help, please!

Hi Winston,
I have purchased the third generation of Apple TV but have not installed it yet, so I am still using my second generation Apple TV, for which I posed this question. Is the answer different when using Apple TV II?

Capture border, mouse movements and screen area showing incorrectly

I'm using Captivate4 on Win7 Pro 32bit to record a web demonstration on IE8. Setting the capture area only records a portion of the selected area, and portions outside (and including) the red boundary line. Mouse movements and clicks are also off. I've disabled hardware acceleration and tried a few different screen resolutions.
This occurs in every recording mode and in every capture arrangement - application, predefined, or custom size. Full screen recording captures the correct area, but the slides are very large and cursor actions are still off. The border disappears when Hide is checked, but the area captured is still completely different from the area selected.
I've included screenshots of both the capture area selected and the actual area recorded.
If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it - thanks in advance!
Area selected for recording:
Area captured during recording - cursor out of place, overlap on the left, missing area on right and bottom:

Change your computer screen resolution to match what you set in Captivate, and you will capture everything.
I had to change mine from 1920x1080 (on a 13" laptop) to 1280x720 which is the maximum in Captivate. As soon as I did that, the entire screen was captured as intended.

On my Cinema Display the screen is blurry and shifts with mouse movement.

I have had this screen for a year and a half and only use it once a week in my remote office. This morning I noticed blurring on the screen and the whole screen shifts up/down, left/right with mouse movement. Please help. I am getting a headache.
Thanks In Advance,
Rob

Press Command-Option-8 once or twice.
You have Zoom on. It is controlled in "Seeing" in "Universal Access" system preference, and by Control-Scrollwheel.

Premiere Elements 13 issue with the mouse on MAC OSX Yosemite 10.10.1
When I select a clip of video and move to a different place in my time line, Premiere Elements 13, will not release the clip from the mouse.
The clip follows my mouse movements and goes to other places in my time line.
I try to delete these extra insertions, but the mouse will not release the clip.
Action I’ve taken: I’ve re-installed Premiere Elements 13. Problem remains.
This issue has consumed too much of my time and does not go away. It ruins my video.
Help please.
Thanks

I tried using the Guest Account on my Mac. In the Guest Account, Illustrator works perfect!
Then I started wondering what processes (tools/tweaks) I run by default on my account. Turned out the problem was called by a little background tool called RightZoom. RightZoom let's the green 'zoom' button always maximize your current window.
So thanks! Problem solved!

Go to the Map mode in your iDVD project and make sure the blue bin at the left is empty. That's where you drag slideshows to if you want the DVD to open immediately to that slideshow and bypass the menu.
Click to view full size
If there is an item in there drag it out.

OK, for limiting User Operations, one can Permit All, None, Custom. This explains this process. Note: the Operations vary by whether you apply these to a Timeline, or to a Menu:
To disable or edit user operations
Select a timeline or menu, or click the Disc tab.
Note: Disabling user operations at the Disc level disables that operation in DVD elements too. You can, however, enable a function at the disc level and then turn it off for specific menus, timelines. and other elements.
Click the Set button at the bottom of the Properties panel.
Select the desired options and then click OK.
All Enables viewers to execute any operation.
None Disables all viewer operations.
Custom Lets you specify which operations are enabled. Deselect the user operations you want to disable:
Play Timeline Lets the viewer enter a number of a timeline to play.
Change Presentation Mode Lets the viewer set the playback mode to 4:3 or 16:9.
Play Chapter Lets the viewer play a specific chapter.
Note: Disabling Play Chapter also disables the Search For Chapter operation.
Search For Chapter Lets the viewer search for a specific chapter.
Play Timecode Lets the viewer enter a timecode to play or search for.
Stop Lets the viewer stop the DVD.
Pause Lets the viewer pause the DVD.
Previous/Next Chapter Lets the viewer move among chapters.
Title Remote Lets the viewer use the Title button on the remote control.
Menu Remote Lets the viewer use the Menu button on the remote control.
Change Audio Tracks Lets the viewer change audio tracks while content is playing.
Change Subtitle Tracks Lets the viewer change the subtitle track when content is playing.
Resume Lets the viewer resume play from where content was stopped.
Arrow And Enter Keys Lets the viewer use the arrow and enter keys on the remote control.
Personally, I would not want to lock the user out of too many controls, as they might become highly frustrated and think that the DVD has malfunctioned.
Hope that this helps,
Hunt

Thanks for both of these answers. I am finding that I do not
like the totally manual method all that much (but it does work).
Using the PrintScreen-before-and-after-each-action method seems a
little better for me. Either method requires way too much editing
for a simple "let me show you" movie. I have moved on to version 3
since it seems to behave a little better.
I think it is odd how sometimes Captivate puts an action
(like a mouse click) on a background from *two* slides previous.
Why would it ever go backward - especially skipping over the
previous slide to get an even older screen. If I have forced a
screen capture, you would think it would stay with that.
I realize that I am not using Captivate where its strengths
seem to be (eLearning) but there must be a lot of people capturing
demos of web-based material. Does everyone have this
problem?

Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

Has anyone received an update on apple tv issue with HD movies and what they are doing about it

Whatever the rep told you, it is complete nonsense. There is clearly a problem at your end, the Apple TV 3 is capable of more than the Apple TV 2, and you clearly have the Apple TV 2 working perfectly. Since the Apple TV 2 is able to download from the Internet properly, then my suspicion would be your problem lies on your local network. Interference is a common problem on local networks.
Interference can be caused by other networks in the neighbourhood or from household electrical items.
You can download and install iStumbler (NetStumbler for windows users) to help you see which channels are used by neighbouring networks so that you can avoid them, but iStumbler will not see household items.
Refer to your router manual for instructions on changing your wifi channel or adjusting your multicast rate.
There are other types of problems that can affect networks, but this is by far the most common, hence worth mentioning first. Networks that have inherent issues can be seen to work differently with different versions of the same software. You might also try moving the Apple TV away from other electrical equipment.

Bluetooth Mouse Pointer and Clicker Freezing

Hello,
I bought a Genius Navigator Mouse model 905BT and connected to my MacAir 11.6". I noticed that my mouse pointer and clicker froze every 15 seconds. I tried this same mouse connecting to my old Macbook 13 inch (version 10.6.2) and on my Windows Laptop with no problems encountered. There were no notifications that the mouse is disconnected and reconnected. It just freezes when I am currently using it. The batteries are new.

Hi,
It has been fixed when I upgraded the Mac OS to 10.6.5 which just released today.

Display Jitters with Mouse movement. Any ideas?

Cinema 23 HD Display jitters with mouse movement.
This just started happening. I don't know what's causing it, but my display jitters back and forth with mouse movement. Left and right. As I move the mouse the screen moves two pixels to the right or left when I move the mouse. After 2 pixels it stops.
Very irritating.
I don't have any extra displays to determine if its the card or the display.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Hi-
Sounds like you may have accidentally turned on "Zoom".
Open System Preferences/Universal Access. Turn off "Zoom", and things should be normal again.
