Can Automator launch apps/files at a specific time?

I want to give my computer the ability to launch an application or file at a specified time. Can Automater do this or do I need to look elsewhere for this ability?

Hi jredfish_175, and a warm welcome to the forums!
Yes, it's most easily done using iCal to schedule it.

Yes - I connected my phone to my computer / Itunes and went into the apps section, but from there I have no idea how to manage the push notifications. I even tryied going into itunes that is installed on my phone. I still cannot find anyplace to manage these popups. I have also gone into settings - notifiations - and tried turning all notifications for these apps all off but that didnt work either. Any guidance is MUCH appreciated - Im not sure where to go from here.

Can you schedule the downloading of app updates to a specific time?

Can you schedule the downloading of app updates to a specific time?

I honestly wouldn't do that. You have no idea if the software update server will be properly functioning then. Also you should always backup your data prior installing updates.
Note when you install updates, you also have the option to install later, but just download first.
Always make sure the updates work with each other by finding out the requirements from the developer before installing. A clone backup will let you recover yourself to the point before the install, if you do it right.

How can we search apps offered in a specific language?
I'm trying to find an app to help my 4 yr old learn the alphabet in french but can only find apps in English...

You can search for books in a specific language in the iBooks Store on a Mac. You might like to leave feedback for the iOS app:

You can also do a search for the language you are searching for ie search for "French".

Can't launch apps

I can't launch apps. Where it is sapost to say "launch app" it just says "up to date" Ive looked on youtube and other people are having this problem. What do?

Programs are launched via your start menu/ launchpad, not the application manger.

Capturing user state........ Retaining files for a specific time?
Can I retain the user files/data for a specific time as a copy after capturing user states then restoring them? If so what's the procedure and location of the files?

If you are using a SMP, yes, this is built-in functionality. The files are located in the location(s) specified on your SMP configuration. You'll also need the computer association that created them because it contains the encryption key.

How can I unlock numerous files at the same time (i.e. photos) so I can make changes (rotate etc)?

Im using Lion on a MacBook Pro 15in (just under two years old) and I would like to know if I can lock numerous photo files at the same time so I can make changes to them. At the moment when I select an entire folder to go through and make changes, ie rotate in Preview, I am told with each photo that I have to unlock it. I am going through photos I took of archival material and have nearly 5000 photos to adjust and make changes to. This small step is taking up a lot of time.
I realise there will probably be a common 'sense' answer to this but it alludes me at the moment so any help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Can i get the time capsule to automatically back up my file from my Mac Book Air but have certain files which are only stored on the time capsule and not the computer? Then can i access these files only on the time capsule without connecting it?

You can, but how are you going to back up those other files? When (not if) your Time Capsule fails, you risk losing them. See #Q3 in Using Time Machine with a Time Capsule for details.

Not sure what you mean. You have to connect a computer, either via Ethernet cable or wirelessly, to read or write to the disk.

Can not open App Store, messages, contacts, face time, contacts, photo booth etc... only safari, iTunes, mail can be opened.... help me.

Lanny here are the startup key sequences on wired keyboards to know for future reference:
SHIFT - safe boot.
command-S single user mode to run fsck
command-R to run a recovery boot.
command-option-P-R to reset the PRAM on Macs younger than 4 years, or whose PRAM battery is younger.
command-option-O-F to boot into open firmware.
D key to boot hardware test on an Intel Mac - for pre-July 20, 2011 Macs, this means having the original installer discs.
Option key - Startup Manager.
Option = Alt key on Windows keyboards.
Command key may be Windows key on Windows keyboards, or cloverleaf or Apple logo key on Apple keyboards.

Hi, We are a physiotherapy practice trying to use i-cal as a clinic diary systaem for 15 therapists. We need to block out availability of therapists but cant do this? How can you block someones diary out for specific times on i-cal? Any help please..

Hi, We are a physiotherapy practice trying to use i-cal as a clinic diary system for 15 therapists. We need to block out availability of therapists but cant do this? How can you block someones diary out for specific times on i-cal? Any help please..

iCal is designed for personal use, and isn't really meant to handle this sort of situation.
The best suggestion I can offer, though it's a trifle untidy, is: create a calendar for each therapist, giving each a different colour. Enter the availability for each therapist - if it's on a weekly basis you can make them repeating events. Then add the individual appointments, which will show alongside in the daily view. In this example, the 'purple' therapist is available from 1030 to 1700 and has appointments at 1200 and 1500.
If you have more than a few therapists available at any one time it's liable to look a bit messy, but it's the best I can think of at the moment.

HT3486 Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my lan?

Can I shared the files/folder of my time capsule with Mac/PC/iPad outside my LAN?

Mac yes.. use BTMM and iCloud or direct AFP connection to the TC.
There is huge amount of info.. just look up remote access time capsule.
PC no.. there is no AFP protocol application that I know of.
iPad no,.. again it is not an AFP protocol device. The only open access method apple allowed is BTMM which doesn't work for ipad.
If you want access for PC and ipad you need to replace the current modem router combo.. whatever it is with one that includes vpn server endpoints.. these can be fairly cheap.. plenty of products with 3rd party firmware will work. VPN is far superior method.

Can I use Automator or other app to capture at specific time?

Wondered if it's possible to set up FCP HD to record at a specific time, like a record timer on a VCR? Thanks.

There aren't any automator cues for Final Cut Pro. Maybe someone will crack this app and figure it out like some have done for Photoshop... but as of now - Not FCP... BUT
QuicktimePro will record in native DV if you want and here's how to do it:

Z10 can't launch apps a month after 10.3 upgrade

The device boots up fine, but troubles start right away: Picture Password doesn't work, the phone falls back to plain password entry. None of the apps can launch. When I try, the launching animation plays for a few milliseconds, with the program's tile appearing on the home screen and sometimes starts zooming to cover the screen. If the animation lasts long enough, I can see the loading screen, but at that point it always vanishes. The more apps I try to launch, the faster they disappear. There's two exceptions: The help app always stays open for longer, but it never get past the splash screen. In a testament to RIM's work, the phone dialer app still works. It launches and can make phone calls. The call log is empty, and trying to see the contacts tab causes it to hang. It's comforting that despite the mess my device is in, I'd still be able to make an emergency call. I can slide down from the top of my device to see the option pane. All the toggles work, like brightness, notifications, nfc, bluetooth, wifi. But trying to launch the settings from their doesn't work. Neither does bedside mode. The WiFi is connected and so is the cellular. The hub takes about 15 minutes to start. Once it is loaded, I can see items in it, but I can't open them or select them. After another ten minutes, I'm even able to go in the hub settings. I can't compose. Eventually, I get the message "Some Accounts Failed to Respond". Some functionality is intermittent: sometimes when I click compose I can see the list of messages types (but can't launch any editors), sometimes I can make the delete/file icons appear, sometimes I can access the hub settings, sometimes I can search. The volume keys work. But I can't take screenshots. USB access is intermittent. BlackBerry Link sometimes detects the device, but sometimes it's unable to connect to it, other times it can connect to it but none of the functionality in Link works. Sometimes, the ethernet interface doesn't even exist after I plug it, sometimes it doesn't get an IP address, other times it does but the device doesn't respond. I can use the command line tools to get info from the device (when usb is working), see a list of installed bars, but the connection is closed if I ever try to upload a (valid & signed) bar. I tried to use Sachesi to do backup with no success, it tells me that I don't have a BlackBerry ID. The device is logged-in with a bbid. The alarm clock works. It also goes off after I reboot the device, with about 50% chance I think. When I boot the device, it always shows the apps I had opened before the device broke. Until the hub finally finishes loading, the red notification light blinks. The device broke while I was managing my contacts. I was settings a custom notification on a contact, and it kept getting removed. It might've had something to do with contact duplicates sometimes appearing. On the main contact app screen, I suddenly couldn't edit contacts anymore. When I selected one, the only options were "add contact", and another one which I forgot. My phone is an STL 100-3 and I updated to 10.3.1.1784 exactly a month before the troubles began. After the upgrade the majority of my photos on device memory were missing, although I'm not sure if it's related to the upgrade. Hopefully all these details can help RIM fix this. I could probably run an autoloader and get my phone running again, but I'm really hoping to eventually get my data back somehow. I've set it aside and I'm using another phone for now.

Yo! I'm the poor dude who's experiencing the same awkward trouble as you are.At the moment I still couldn't figure a soution for it though (that is, excepting a factory reboot) but I'm still hoping that something will eventually come up. Same as you I set it aside and am using another phone in the meantime cause I do want to get my data back. My best guess would be to do an OS downgrade without data loss but I don't know if that will be possible since we cannot reach the phone via Blackberry Link and the phone itself is rather blocked so we wouldn't be able to get even to the Configuration app... Cheers.
