Can't seem to get started -- n00b help?
I've started using eMusic to buy unrestricted mp3 files online, and I really enjoy it. However, one thing I don't enjoy is that every time I do a "test listen," I get a stub file on my desktop (my browser's download directory) named something like 12345678.m3u.
In the past, I'd have just set up a quickie cron to rm these guys, but this morning I thought I'd give Automator a try. However, I can't seem to make the right thing happen.
I have a workflow with the following steps. It generates no errors, but also does nothing:
1: Get Specified Finder Items, set to my Desktop
2: filter finder items, set to "name contains m3u"
3: move finder items, set to a scratch folder I'm using in lieu of actually deleting them at this point.
Clearly, I'm going about this all wrong, but it's not clear to me from the help what my disconnect is. Can someone set me on the right path?
Sorry, I'll be more clear:
The full path to the desktop is in the work step.
I've tried both "file contains" and "extension is" options in the filter step.
So neither of those seem to help. :\

Just downloaded the new ios 7, and I can't seem to get any apps to download in the app store. It doesn't have the meter bar anymore and all it does is have a blue circle spin and spin for over 5 min. without nothing happening! Help!!!
Hi,
This is how App Store app shows now when an app is downloading. If you cannot download anything, go to Settings > iTunes & App Store, remove your Apple ID, and set it again. That should work.
Hope that helps. -
Hi, I can't seem to get my ipod 32gb 4th gen to sync with itunes. It's brand new, but everytime I plug it in it says can't access Itunes store and nothing else happens. I enabled my firewall to allow itunes but it still can't access the store. Please help.
If you look at the feed, and look at the entry 'The end to an exciting field season in Aulavik National Park' you will see the line:
<pubDateFri, 29 Jul 2011 04:00:00 GMT</pubDate>
You have not closed the 'pubdate' tag - there should be a '>' as the 9th character. Because the tag has been left open, it invalidates everything which follows it, and thus the entire feed. iTunes therefore cannot read it, which is why the Store has not updated. Add the '>' and republish, and all should be well.
It's always worth checking your feed by subscribing manually, from the 'Advanced' menu, or by clicking the 'subscribe free' button on the Store page (both do the same thing) - if you can subscribe to the feed it should be OK. -
Hi, can someone help please - my iPhone hasn't been backed up since early August, now I can't seem to get it to back up to iCloud. I have 9GB of space, I have left it plugged in etc for 11hrs, but keep getting the same message " iPhone backup could not be completed" -what dies that mean.?
Hi,
I was facing issues with both backup and FB integration after the iOs 6 upgrade. Before then I did not have any issues with the iCloud backup service, but after a few days, I noticed that it was continually stuck at the Estimating time for the backup and it never progressed.
As any good techie would, I tackled the most pressing issue first . . . FB integration of course.
I had read in a separate post about this solution so tried it . . .
I deleted the original FB app and hard booted the phone. I then went into settings and entered the data for FB integration. Seconds later, I received a text message to my phone - already listed and verified in FB with a 6 digit code to re-enter instead of my password. Seconds later I was verified and then prompted to download the FB app. All backup and integrated.
Then I went into the iCloud backup, turned it off . . . and deleted the last backup. I then re-enabled backup . . . and although I thought I was going to face the same issue, after a few minutes, it moved on from Estimating time . . . to actually backing up. It is now a small way through the backup and seems to estimate that it will take another two hours to complete.
A good nights work. Backup and integration all sewed up. Good luck.
Cheers

How can I fix error code 131:4? Licensing for this product stopped working. I have windows vista home edition and CS4 Design Premium. I downloaded licensing zip file for windows but I can't seem to get it to launch. Look forward to help from anyone
Steve,
I appreciate your answer. While it might work, I'm a bit hesitant to remove the other programs as a possible solution since they are all currently working.
With Acrobat 9 Pro failing with the OS 10.7 upgrade, I'm hoping that there is a less severe solution.
Since the trigger appears to be 10.7 and may have something to do with the discontinued support of Rosetta, I could be spending a few hours working on a reinstall without a change. Yes, it might work. The "might" is the part that makes me hesitate.
Is anyone else out there on OS 10.7 and running Acrobat 9 Pro? Any issues with anyone else?
Thanks Steve. I do appreciate your offering a solution. I may end up trying it if nothing else comes together.

I can't seem to get my iMac (late 2009 model) into automatic sleep mode. If I manually put it into sleep I don't have any issues.
I used to solve the issue by running "PleaseSleep" application but that doesn't work anymore since Lion. I now want to fix the underlying problem.
I'm not running any weird background processes and in my energy saver settings I've tagged "put the hard disk to sleep when possible:, "allow power button to put computer to sleep" and "automatically reduce brigthness". All pretty standard.
Is there anyone who can give me some pointers ?Today I solved the same problem for my iMac running Snow Leopard. See https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3008791#15947706. The method may help you, too.
For me it was the DynDNS Updater preventing my iMac from automatically entering sleep mode.
To my knowledge the cause of this sleep problem can only be a peripheral device or a process. So I suggest to first unplug all peripherals and test whether that's the cause. If not, I suggest to terminate one process after another and to test automatic entering of sleep mode after each. Start with user processes; continue with system process if necessary.
At least that's the way I found the offending process. Fortunately, I was able to change the configuration of that process to allow again automatic entering of sleep mode.
Good luck! -
I just purchased a Brother MFC-9340CDW all in one printer. It shows up on a list of compatable airprint devices but I can't seem to get it to work. Any suggestions?
Hi,
It won't work with airplay, here is how I got it to work with OSX 10.9.4 fully patched;
you will need to use the serial cable to start the process:
In-brief Version:
0) Go grab the firmware update tool, the driver, and the scanner software
1) Turn off the firewall and antivirus (if you use it ??)
2) Update the firmware using the serial line
3) Reserve a static IP outside the DHCP range (using the MAC address of the printer) on your WAP server
4) Configure the printer to use a static IP through the front panel
5) Configure the printer WIFI with your SSID and net key through the front panel
6) Install the CUPS driver on your computer through the printer settings by specifying the static IP
7) Install the Scanner driver then go into the Control Center and add you computer and printer configuration
I generally use this kind of set up so that the printer comes back at the same place after a power failure in
the event that it has a crappy driver.
For those of you who need a little more help:
0) Turn off anti-virus and firewall software (it did seem to matter)
1) Go to the Brother Center and download 1) The firmware update tool, 2) the driver, 3) the scanner software
2) Go to the front panel on the printer: tools -> all settings -> network -> tcp/ip -> WLAN ; find the MAC address and write it down
3) Plug the printer in using the serial cable, it will auto detect and you will be able to talk to it.
4) Install the firmware update tool by double clicking on the dmg you downloaded
5) Update the firmware and the subfirmware (NOTE: this is a bit finicky -- you may have to unplug and replug it in a couple of times before it starts to talk with the device, after it starts the update process it frequently gives up in the middle, DO NOT unplug the device at this point, just select "retry" from the dialog and it will continue -- it will take about 15 mins or so.
6) Once the firmware is installed, go to your WAP server and look at the DHCP IP range; typically something like 10.0.1.2 to 10.0.1.200
7) If there is a capability to reserve an IP on your WAP server pick an IP outside the range in 6 (e.g. 10.0.1.201) and use the MAC address (from step 2) for the reservation... its fine if you don't reserve it -- this is an extra precaution -- just make sure you pick an IP outside the DHCP range
8) Go to the front panel on the printer: tools -> all settings -> network -> tcp/ip -> WLAN ; then set the IP address:
boot method: static
IP address: the address you chose in 7)
mask: 255.255.255.0
gateway: the IP of your router -- typically 10.0.1.1
8) Go to the front panel on the printer: tools -> wireless -> setup wizard -> let it find your network, select it, and enter your key.
9) Reboot the printer and check it connects to your wireless network
10) Go to the front panel on the printer, tools -> all settings -> print reports -> network configuration ; print the report and check the IP and MAC
are what you think they should be.
11) Go to your computer, bring up a terminal (applications->utilities->terminal)
12) Ping your printer to make sure its up and accessible -- type: "ping 10.0.1.201" (or whatever IP you used in step 7) and check you get a response -- not a timeout -- if it works disconnect the serial line and delete the (serial line) printer from the list of printers -- you won't need it anymore -- if not you screwed up somewhere along the line
13) Now the printer is on the wireless network, install the driver by double clicking the dmg. Then go to system preferences->printers & scanners
click +
in the add menu click IP
enter your IP (from step 7)
make sure the Protocol is IPP
Name the printer and set its location
Go to Use field, in the pull down menu select "Select Software"
Go through the list and find the Brother MFC-9340CDW CUPS driver -- if its not there you screwed up installing it so go do it again.
14) Go back to the printer page -- select the printer, select Open Print Queue, then select Settings -- check the Driver Version is 4.1.0 -- if
it says 2 you are using the airplay version which seems to be buggered -- so you need to try again.
15) Go open a word document and print it -- smile you are nearly there
16) Install the scanner software by double clicking the dmg
17) Open the Control Center, under the Model: select Other
Click +
Select your printer
Enter your computer name in the display name and click ok
18) Go into adobe Acrobat File->Create->PDF from Scanner (or whatever software you are scanning with)
19) Select "Brother TWAIN" from the scanner list -- if its not there you screwed up the scanner software installation -- go do it again
20) Put a document in the top of the printer and press scan -- wammo !
21) Turn back on your firewall (and antivirus if you have it -- why I can't imagine but what the ****)
22) Go ping the printer and make sure its still reachable (see step 12) -- if not you need to figure out what your antivirus is screwing up because the firewall is no problem
23) try printing and scanning again...
24) rejoice... your done. -
I've spent hours, actually probably days, trying to do this but it's not working. I've had the ENVY since Nov
and have not been able to print - much less do anything else with it.
My internet is CLEAR wireless. I use the little USB 4G Mobil Modem. This new HP ENVY is also wireless.
I know I can't be online and print at the same time unless I get a router.
I also know that I can go offline and change the network pref to "airport" so I can print. Meaning I'll have to change
back and forth but for my uses, that's ok..at least for right now.
What I can't seem to get set-up correctly is my own local network.
I'm pretty sure it's suppose to be done using "Airport".
Obviously, I'm doing something wrong in establishing my network.
The printer is listed on my printer preferences and shown as "offline" "default". I assume that means the ENVY
is my default printer. Great! At least my Pro knows it's suppose to connect to the ENVY once everything's set-up correctly.
Now, if someone could just tell me exactly, step-by-step what to do to get that done....
I'd be soooo very happy!
Thank you!
RickiWell... no help was found here.. so I abandoned the wireless- ness of my printer. I bought a
small 10 port hub because only 2 USB ports really isn't enough with wireless mouse, wireless internet
and any kind of printer. I also bought a long USB cable. I now print--wired since this can be done
as an alternative to wireless with this printer. Because I don't want a cable "hanging around"
when the printer is not in use, I simple disconnect it and reconnect when I want to print.
It's a temporary solution others may find helpful as well. Apparently there's been a lot of
confusion and problems getting this printer set up wirelessly with our MacBooks.
Shame on HP for not helping us out!
