Automator workflow launches itself all the time - even after being trashed!

I created a while back a automator workflow that I would use to crop images (in order to use them as avatars online). It didn't work so well so I trashed it.
My problem is that now, whenever I save a .pdf file or a .doc file, said workflow will launch itself. Of course, my computer cannot find it (it is long gone). I don't know how I can stop my computer from remembering it. Obviously I haven't trashed it completely. What can I do? It is starting to get really annoying.

I'm not a power user when it comes to Automator, so I might sound a little silly with my explanations. Also, I might not remember it all perfectly.
I'm pretty sure I trashed the .app I created. And by trashing I mean putting it in the trash and emptying the trash. When I discovered it was still launching itself, I used Spotlight to locate another file (I think it was in the library) that sported the same name but with a different extension (not sure what it was, but the icon was a blank page). I trashed it the same way, but it didn't do the trick.
To sum it up I trashed all the files that had the name of that stupid workflow and it is still out there.

  • HT1414 I attempted to update my iphone 3 through I tunes - I think I did a back up on my pc - I am now unable to use the phone at all - it cannot be turned off and seems to be syncing all the time, even when it is not connected to itunes.

    I attempted to update my iphone 3 using itunes.  I'm not certain but I believe I did a backup on my pc first.  I am now unable to use the phone at all - the slide bar won't move and I have a camera icon next to the slide bar which is not responsive.  I have tried to sync and even left the phone connected to the pc overnight. The phone is going flat within a couple of hours and won't stop beeping every few seconds and seems to be syncing all the time, even when disconnected from pc.  I am fearful that I have lost all my contacts - nothing is working - can anyone help - please?

    Try resetting it if you can: hold the on/off and home buttons until you see the Apple logo (ignore the off slider that appears first), then release.  If you can't, try to connect it to iTunes, go to the Summary tab of your sync settings and click Restore to restore it.  If that doesn't work you'll have to force it into recovery mode to restore it as outlined here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.
    You can check in iTune to see if you have a backup.  They are listed in iTunes>Preferences>Devices.  However, the backup may not bring your contacts back as contacts are only backed up as necessary to preserve the recent call and call favorites lists.

    I don't know exactly what the issue is, but I think I do. Are you talking about what happens when you start up your MBP, full brightness, with power cable in - and when you're using battery only, the brightness dims? If so, this is a feature designed to make sure your monitor is bright enough while using batteries - but not so bright as to cause an undue drain on power.
    I don't know about a cure to this issue, if indeed this is what you're talking about.

    Hi I have just got some wireless head phones and while using Bluetooth with my iPhone 4S the sound breaks up all the time but if I use a friends iPhone 5 or my iPad it's fine no problems atall! Any ideas what the problem could be people??????

    Unpair the headset from the phone with the problem. Restart the phone (hold HOME and SLEEP until an Apple logo appears), the pair the headset again. Also, look for things nearby that may be causing interference in the Bluetooth band. Cordless phones are a common cause of interference.

  • Importing sets "part of compilation" all the time, even when it shouldn't.

    I've just instaled iTunes 9.01 and have been importing about 5 CDs worth of music. The problem is that iTunes seems to be setting the "part of a compilation" flag every time even though none of the CDs I've been importing are compilations CDs.
    I know that sometimes the gracenote database has the CD tracks incorrectly marked as compilations when they aren't on a compilation CD. But I've imported 5 CDs in a row and they've all been marked as compilations, so I am starting to wonder if iTunes is the one setting the compilation flag.
    Has anyone else seen this problem?
    The net effect is that after I import a CD, it doesn't show up in the genre/artist/album browser. Instead it shows up in the compilation list. So I end up having to go into the imported tracks and uncheck the compilation flag
    This is made even worse by the fact that I can't select all of the tracks at once and open up the info because when you select multiple tracks and open up the info there is not "part of a compilation" flag that I can see. So I end up having to open up the tracks one at a time and unchecking he flags one at a time, which is a pain in the butt.
    Any suggestions on how to fix this would be very much appreciated!

    You've probably already found this out, but just in case someone else is looking for the answer:
    In order to 'undo' "Part of a Compilation" that iTunes did on an imported CD:
    *Right click on the album, Choose 'Get Info' and click yes when asked if it is ok to set info for multiple items.
    *Click the 'Options' tab.
    * In the middle of the dialog is the option 'Part of a Compilation' : Check the box on the left and change the option from the drop down menu on the right to 'No'.
    *click 'Ok'
    Make sure you give the group of songs an Album Artist or Album title so that the songs end up in the desired folder.
    Hope it helps.

  • Problem: Fan at full speed all the time - even when the Mac is turned off

    Hello,
    my Mac mini suffers from a very strange problem. I've had it for half a year now and recently bought a new power adaptor since my old one got damaged. I plugged it in and everything was fine - until half an hour afterwards, when the fan suddenly made itself noticeable at full speed. But it didn't stop; it went on, curiously even when I shut the Mac mini down. That's right. even when the system's turned off. The noise is really unbearable and only stops when I plug off the power cord.
    Any ideas why this is happening?

    My Mini started doing this yesterday. I came home from work and the fan was going full blast. Even after shutting the machine down, the fan would continue to run at full speed (and it is LOUD...much louder than my full tower desktop PC with 4 80mm fans). The only way to stop the fan is to completely unplug the Mini from the power supply.
    I doubt that this is due to faulty wiring as my Mini is plugged in to a very nice UPS unit that conditions the power.
    Now, I'm willing to admit that this may be entirely my fault since I have upgraded my Mini with 1 GB of RAM, a Pioneer DVD burner, and a higher capacity hard drive. However, the Mini has been running 24-hours-a-day for 5-6 months since my final upgrade, so it would seem that my upgrades are unrelated to this issue. Also, since someone else is having the same problem, again, my upgrades seem unrelated.
    I was told on another forum to try resetting the PMU, which I will try when I get home today. If it works, I'll post. Seems unlikely though since the fan runs even when the Mini is powered down.
    If anyone has any other ideas, I'd be glad to hear them. I'm assuming that my Mini is no longer under the 1-year warranty since I have performed so many upgrades myself, so, if this problem is something that can only be fixed by Apple, then it will probably cost an arm and a leg.

  • Brand new iPod touch restarts itself all the time

    Hello, my dad just came home from Japan, with a brand new iPod touch.
    I managed to register it in iTunes, but when i updated the firmware i got an error message. I tried again and i think that i succeed. Then i started to sync music and the rest of the stuff. The syncing stopped after a minute, and when i tried to navigate on my iPod i realised that the touch screen didn't respond. So after several attempts, i made a hard reset.
    But now, the iPod touch restarts itself. The Apple logo comes up, and then the screen turns off in a dramatical way, and then the Apple logo comes up again. If i hard reset my device again, the process continous.
    I sometimes the iPod shows the "charge battery" screen, and then I can charge the battery. BUT after 5 minutes, the iPod touch starts restarting itself again. :S
    Does anyone have a solution to this? Extremely strange.

    I suspect you have a hardware problem. Probably a non-functioning battery (over or under) and causing a hardware reset. Bring it to an Apple Store for replacement.

    Why doesn' Firefox launch? It's my default browser. Internet Explorer always launches when asked.

    One of your add-ons might be the culprit. Try running Firefox in [[Safe Mode]]. If that solves the problem, see [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and possibly [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
