Automator work flow and iTunes

I want to creat a automator work flow to start itune at a specified time daily and ply the songs in the specified playlist for an hour and then stop.
In the automator actions I found "Find iTunes Playlist" and Start iTunes Playing". But the other bits to do the full sequence that I need are missing.
Please help me how to go about it.
Thanks

Hi,
Here's one way.
In Automator, create a Calendar Alarm. This will have two actions from the Music library.
The first will be "Get Specified iTunes items". Click the Add... button in the action pane and specify your playlist.
The second action will be "Play iTunes playlist". You don't need to modify this, just make sure it's second in the workflow.
Save and close this Calendar Alarm, calling it something like "Play my Playlist". Calendar will activate and will create a new calendar called "Automator" if it doesn't already exist.
In Calendar, schedule this Alarm for every day at waking-up time.
Go back to Automator and create a second Calendar Alarm. This will have a single action, "Run AppleScript" from the Utilities library. Delete all the text in the action ("On run... yadda yadda... End run"). Type in a single line:
tell application "iTunes" to quit
Save this Alarm, calling it something like "Stop iTunes", and again you'll be taken to Calendar. Schedule the Stop iTunes alarm daily to run an hour after the first alarm.
Hope this helps,
H

    Kilted Tim is correct, did you plug it in to iTunes to complete the process?  I assumed you would have done so, but I shouldn't have assumed.

    Created Workitem and attached a task "TS92500097". in the task, I mentioned Business Object and method to be called. I have set the binding also for this business object. the method I am calling is nothing but just "display" which is using call transaction.  2 problems here.

  • Automating work flow with Shared Reviews

    Is there a way to manage the work flow with shared reviews? In other words, I have a pdf document I need to send out for review. I have several people on my review team, and I want them to look at in in sequence rather than all at the same time. Person A to make comments first, and then pass it on to person B.
    Is there a way to set up reviews so that Person A gets to review the document first, and then when they are done, it notifies person B that the document is ready to be reviewed?
    As far as I can tell, the way it is set up currently is a free for all and there is no organization - I would like to avoid doing this manually.

    By server information, I mean the server type (webDAV/SharePoint/Network folder/Acrobat.com) on which you initiate the review in A9. What option do you choose during shared review initiation?
    What is the error message that you get on opening A9 created files in A10? Can you send me one such testfile at ambooATadobeDOTcom (the one created in Acrobat 9)?

  • Work Flow and Oracle Apps

    Do my developer need to use the APPS account for maintaining and building work flows? Or can they use another account with the correct privleges?
    Thanks

    Hi, workflow definitions can be done using wft files (that is: not working directly on the database, but on independent files). A suggested way of working with Applications workflows is to have an administrator save the definitions to a filesystem file, then work on them, and only after the work is finished upload them to the database. Working this way, you don't have to give apps account access to developers.
    I hope it helps.

    hi to all,
      i need work flow andBW materail.

    Hi,
    Workflow:
    Purpose
    SAP Business Workflow can be used to define business processes that are not yet mapped in the R/3 System. These may be simple release or approval procedures, or more complex business processes such as creating a material master and the associated coordination of the departments involved. SAP Business Workflow is particularly suitable for situations in which work processes have to be run through repeatedly, or situations in which the business process requires the involvement of a large number of agents in a specific sequence.
    You can also use SAP Business Workflow to respond to errors and exceptions in other, existing business processes. You can start a workflow when predefined events occur, for example an event can be triggered if particular errors are found during an automatic check.
    SAP provides several workflows that map predefined business processes. These workflows do not require much implementation. For an overview of these SAP workflows, refer to  Workflow Scenarios in Applications.
    Integration
    SAP Business Workflow uses the existing transactions and functions of the R/3 System and does not change the functions. You can combine the existing functions of the R/3 System to form new business processes with SAP Business Workflow. The workflow system takes over control of the business processes. If you are already using SAP Organizational Management, you can use the organizational structure created there to have the relevant agents carry out the individual activities. It is possible to have an activity carried out by a position. This ensures that the respective occupiers of the position can carry out the individual activities during execution of the workflow. This means that personnel changes in your organization are taken into account immediately in the execution of a workflow.
    Features
    SAP Business Workflow provides a number of tools for defining and analyzing workflows as well as for monitoring operation.
    The Workflow Builder is for displaying and making changes to workflows. You can make small extensions directly to the original workflows supplied by SAP, such as carrying out your own agent assignments or changing deadline monitoring.
    There are several Workflow Wizards to support you in the definition of workflows, with which you can create specific parts of a workflow. The Workflow Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of the existing Workflow Wizards.
    In order to make the functions of the R/3 Systems available to a workflow, you use business objects, which you can define and analyze in the Business Object Builder. These business objects are made available to the workflow in reusable tasks. The Business Wizard Explorer gives you an overview of all existing tasks.
    The end user receives information about the activities they are to carry out in their Business Workplace. This provides them with a central overview of all the activities that they are authorized to carry out. They can commence the activities from here.
    Several tools are available to the workflow system administrator, with which they can control and analyze the current workflows. The workflow system administrator is notified of problems automatically by the system.

  • I need help with automator work flows

    im having troube adding songs to my itunes with autmator i ke getting error mesaage 1752 ...anyine know how i can resolve this issue ?

    viguy_ wrote:
    i was told the error means that the process is taking too long to finish so it just times out
    That would have been handy to know, earlier.
    I have know idea if this will work, but you might try editing the timeout of the action.
    If you right-click on the Action, you can choose "show in Finder"
    Make a copy of the action in your home somewhere. Right-click on that copy and select Show package contents.
    Go into the contents folder and open the info.plist file with a text editor like TextWrangler. Change the timeout value to something greater than the default of 3600 seconds. Is it really taking longer than an hour? If it is not, then I doubt this will work.
    Save the file, and then Import it into Automator (File menu).

  • Count of Work flow and dataflow in a single job

    Hi,
    We would like to know the count of all the worlflow,dataflow which is present in a single job. Basically we want to know what are all the things are called in side the job and how many?
    Is there any way to acheive this by seeing the repositary table or any other options are available?
    So far we tried to count manually. If single job contains multiple workflow,dataflow,scripts and datastore. It is a very tough process to calculate this or find this. So if some one help us ton this ,It would be helpful for us to calculate the metrix.
    Thanks,
    Vino

    You should be able to get this information by querying the repository. Look for the AL_USAGE table (or ALVW_PARENT_CHILD). The Reference Guide has a chapter on "Metadata in Repository Tables and Views" that explains how to use this table (with some sample SQL).

  • Integration of work flow and activities within TMS while setting up CHaRM

    Hi,
    While setting up CHaRM,

    How do we set for the status to activities, eg: 'Approve to Production' status in CHaRM workflow with the corresponding approval procedure&import to production?
    Your answer will be very helpful.

    Hi.
    I do not really understand your requirement.
    You did create a SMI project, activated ChaRM for that project and created a maintenance cycle and task list.
    After the maintenance cycle has been activated you need to unlock the tasks/groups.
    Now start creating change documents which contain the workflow (for instance "normal corrections" of type SDMJ). You do this either manually or via a change request.
    Import into production is possible in phase "GoLive" only.
