Can't get application id "com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine".

I'm trying to compile the following in AppleScript Editor in OS X 10.6.4 and keep getting the following error message: Can't get application id "com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine". Any suggestions?
try
tell application id "com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine" to launch
end try

I tried
try
*tell application id "com.apple.ScreenSaver.Engine" to launch*
*end try*
on my MacBook Pro, and it worked flawlessly. It should work also on yours.
Well… I fear this post isn't very helpful.

  • TS1363 I recently updated my iphone overnight and today I can't get it to come on, I've tried the restore and nothing works.  I've tried syncing with 3 different computers and nothing works. I'm getting the black screen, white apple and a line under that

    I updated my phone overnight and now I can't get it to come on.  I've tried everything, I have a black screen, white apple and a mine below that looks like it's trying to load but it has stopped.  HELP!

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

  • Where can I get application development kit for iPad?

    Hi apple world,
    Where can I get application development tool for iPad?
    I am new apple user, and fascinated with iPad. Having computer science background at college, I am interested in developing simple game application to get started. Hopefully, I would like to put some games in app store in the future.
    My iTune is in windows XP, and it may be the platform for development.
    Regards,
    Hire

    Actually, it is free to register at http://developer.apple.com/programs/register/ as a developer and download the SDK. The $99 fee only applies if you want to install your Apps on a real iOS device (instead of the simulator) or submit them for distribution on the AppStore.

  • Hello. I have bought an iMac in Ft.Lauderdale but now i'm in Ukraine. I lost the receipt and in order to get my iMac fixed they told me to get an invoice from Apple. So how can i get an invoice from Apple?

    Hello. I have bought an iMac in Ft.Lauderdale but now i'm in Ukraine. I lost the receipt and in order to get my iMac fixed they told me to get an invoice from Apple. So how can i get an invoice from Apple? Thank you!

    If you bought it from an Apple Store you will need to contact the Apple Store to see if they can help you. This forum is a user to user forum and frankly I've never seen a question like yours come up. If you purchased it with a credit card then it should be pretty simple to get a copy of your statement and see if the "they" you are referring to will accept that as proof of purchase.
    Good luck!

    I am at present in Spain. I have OS 10.6.8 on my applepro laptop. How can I upgrade to Mountain Lion? (and then to Mavericks). I can't get on to the apple store, for some reason.

    Open the App Store application and use it to download Mavericks.
    No need to get Mountain Lion first.

  • I can't get past the grey apple screen using mavericks

    I can't get past the grey apple screen trying to boot up with Mavericks. I had been using Mavericks for about a month (only had issues of freezing occasionally). I read in one of the posts here that I should try holding command R down when booting. I did now I just get a grey screen without the apple.  Any advise?
    I have a Mac Mini

    Hello ther cnickers,
    It sounds like the initial install of Mavericks went ok, and you have been using it for a while, but now cannot boot to your desktop and are stuck at a gray screen with an Apple logo. I would recommend a couple of things here:
    First, try performing a Safe Boot to see if that will load up for you. If so then leave Safe Boot and restart from the Apple menu to try and get to your deskop:
    To start up into Safe Mode (to Safe Boot), follow these steps.
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key.
    The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple logo and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    After the logo appears, you should see a progress bar during startup. This indicates that your computer is performing a directory check as part of Safe Mode.
    To leave Safe Mode, restart your computer without holding any keys during startup.
    From: Mac OS X: What is Safe Boot, Safe Mode?

    If that works fine, I would next also verify and repair your disk if needed.
    Disk Utility 12.x: Repair a disk
    http://support.apple.com/kb/PH5836
    Print this help page so you can refer to it later. (You don’t have access to Disk Utility Help when you restart up your computer in the next step.)In the Disk Utility Help window, choose Print from the Action pop-up menu (looks like a gear).
    Choose Apple menu > Restart. Hold down the Command (⌘) and R keys as your computer restarts.When you see a white screen with an Apple logo in the middle, you can release the keys.
    Click Disk Utility, and then click Continue.
    In the list at the left, select the item you want to repair. (Be sure to select an item that’s indented to the right in the list, not an item at the far left.)
    Click First Aid.
    If Disk Utility tells you the disk is about to fail, back it up and replace it. You can’t repair it.
    Click Repair Disk.If Disk Utility reports that the disk appears to be OK or has been repaired, you’re done. Otherwise, you may need to do one of the following steps.
    If Disk Utility reports “overlapped extent allocation” errors, two or more files occupy the same space on your disk, and at least one of them is likely to be corrupted. Check each file in the list of affected files. If you can replace a file or recreate it, delete it. If it contains information you need, open it and examine its data to make sure it hasn’t been corrupted. (Most of the files in the list have aliases in a DamagedFiles folder at the top level of your disk.)
    If Disk Utility can’t repair your disk or it reports “The underlying task reported failure,” try to repair the disk or partition again. If that doesn’t work, back up as much of your data as possible, reformat the disk, reinstall Mac OS X, and then restore your backed-up data.If you continue to have problems with your disk, it may be physically damaged and need to be replaced.
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    Cheers,
