  • Script no longer working under Maverick

    I just upgraded to Maverick over the weekend and I can not figure out why this script no longer works.  It has been working for the last 5 years.
    The script moves a file my server sends per e-mail to a folder on a partition on my Mac.  Here is the script.
    tell application "Microsoft Outlook"
              set selectedMsg to (current messages)
              set selectedMsg to item 1 of result
              set msgAttachment to attachments of selectedMsg
              set msgAttachment to result's item 1
              set attachmentName to name of msgAttachment
              set attachmentFile to ((path to desktop) & attachmentName) as text
      save msgAttachment in attachmentFile
    end tell
    delay 3
    set submitfolder to "OS E:Users:e:Desktop:" as alias
    set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to collectionfolder
    delay 2
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains ("week ") & (do shell script "date +%U")) to trash
    I now get:
    If I run:
    tell application "Finder"
              open ("/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as POSIX file)
    end tell
    it opens the folder no problem so the path must be ok?  or? 
    Any ideas why it is broken? 

    Are you getting the error on this statement
    set collectionfolder to "/Volumes/Data E/Consulting/Telephone Switch Record/2014" as alias
    or when you do the move? And what is the error number you are getting?
    Also try this
    set filePart to "week " & (do shell script "date +%U")
    log filePart
    tell application "Finder" to move (every file whose name contains filePart) to collectionfolder
    to see what the string looks like.

  • "Older" apps no longer work under 10.7

    Filemaker pro 7, Toast and Photoshop CS3 no longer work under 10.7. Is there any way to make these work or will I have to go back to OS 10.6?

    Time for an update.
    I'd scrap Toast.  And CS 5.5 and FileMaker Pro 11 are way better than the older versions you have, and will run substantially faster as native applicaitons.
    Though I thought CS3 was actually a Universal application and thus _should_ run on Lion (albeit not supported any more)

  • XITEL HiFi-Link AN1 No Longer Working Under 10.4.6

    My XITEL HiFi-Link is no longer working under 10.4.6.
    This USB sound device is selected as my output device.
    I have tried both USB ports - no sound.
    Both USB ports function properly with other input devices.
    Any Ideas?

    Kernel 3.13.7 contains the patch to fix this bug, from here on the mailing list: https://lkml.org/lkml/2014/3/20/819
    So now I don't have to hold back my kernel anymore, and this issue is resolved. Woopee!

  • HT6114 My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks- No drivers available from Canon

    My CanoScan 8600F no longer works with Mavericks upgrade.  Canon does not offer new drivers.

    The Canoscan Toolbox works with Mavericks to scan, copy, etc.
    If you have Photoshop or Photoshop Elements the drivers can be installed so one can scan from within those applications.
    All the necessary software (CanoScan Toolbox 5.0.1.2 Installer) can be obtained from the Canon site.
    And, as Eustace mentioned, Vuescan works.

  • Presonus FP-10 no longer works after Mavericks update

    I updated my Mac Mini to Mavericks and now my Presonus FP-10 will not work. I know that Presonus has made a statement that FP-10 is no longer compatible with Maverick or Mountain Lion. I had it up and running in Mountain Lion. My question is can I reinstall Lion or Mountain Lion to fix this urgent problem. I am using my Mac Mini O SX 10.9 as of now.

    I have now managed to get the Canon LBP6300dn printer working on my network (i.e. I did not use USB at all).
    In case it helps others, here are the steps I performed.
    Infrastructure:
    My printer is connected by LAN cable to my Airport Extreme.
    The Airport Extreme has a DHCP reservation defined for the printer (e.g. fixed address of 10.1.2.3).
    I need A4 as the default paper size, so I installed the UK version of the driver (Mac_CAPT_V365_uk_EN.dmg). I do not know if the locale makes any difference.
    I orginally set-up the printer  when I used Mountain Lion.
    My Mavericks installation on my laptop was clean (i.e. the hard disk was reformatted first)
    Set-up:
    The printer was switched on and installation was done on my Mavericks laptop over WiFi.
    Double-click the .DMG file and follow the instructions.
    Open System Preferences | Printers & Scanners.
    Click + to add a new printer, the Add dialog should open.
    For me, nothing appeared under the Default tab.
    Click the IP tab.
    In the Address: field: I entered the fixed IP address of my printer (e.g. 10.1.2.3).
    The IP address should be automatically validated.
    The Protocol: Field was set to Line Printer Daemon - LPD.
    After a few seconds, the Use: field should display “Generic PostScript Printer”
    Click on the Use: field’s menu to display available options and then pick “Select Software …”
    In the Printer Software dialog, select “Canon LBP6300 CAPT (UK)” . Or the equivalent for your locale. Click Ok. Note: I could not get the “Canon LBP6300n CAPT (UK)” to work.
    For me, an error “Unable to verify the printer on your network appeared”, but I clicked Continue.
    I left the Paper Source Options set to none. (I do not have the 500 cassette.)
    I clicked Ok to finish the adding of the printer
    After this the printer was finally working for me, including duplex printing.
    Anyway, I hope this might help others that are struggling with Mavericks and the Canon LBP6300dn printer.

  • Which Apple app's will no longer work in Mavericks?

    I am using OS 10.8.5 on my MacbookAir.  I was contacted by Apple to download a free update to Mavericks, OS 10.9.
    I am very suspicious after having been many times forced to buy new apps working under newer Apple operating systems, because some previouly working apps suddenly no longer did after an Apple System upgrade was installed.
    I lost mountains of important files created with Applesworks, including important spread sheets and data files which suddenly no longer opened because the Apple appllication used to create them was no longer supported by the newer Apple OS.
    I also recall the total mess with earlier iMovie and iDVD updates most of which ensured that previous iMovie and IDVD schemes coukd no longer be opened or used.
    Since Apple does not inform users of such problems before the updates are  downloaded, maybe it will be of great benefit to  get
    a reply from other users who have upgraded already to Mavericks.
    So which apps, if any will no longer work, if the OS is upgraded to Mavericks?  

    You were contacted by Apple to download Mavericks? Really?
    We wouldn't be able to give you a blow by blow description of which apps will or will not work with Mavericks. There are a lot of people who have upgraded to Mavericks and are not having any issues whatsoever.
    There are others who seem to be having every possible issue you can think of.
    I would imagine that the difference in experiences here is due to the types of sofware people are running, the amount of CPU capacitity they are using to run various apps, games, etc. Whether or not they are running non-Apple applications, how often they have dropped their laptop, etc.
    Since you seem concerned with messes, and problems, and losses of files, then unless you have some burning need to upgrade right at this very moment in it, it seem like it might be prudent to wait.
    That's what I am doing. I am perfectly happy with Mountain Lion. There is nothing in Mavericks that I feel I can't live without for awhile. Eventually, I will be upgrading to Mavericks, because I don't want to fall behind in OSX levels for my machine. But for now, there is simply no pressing need to do so.
    Bugs are being worked out. Fine tuning is being done. Enhancements are being made.
    So, why rush into somehting that has been out for only two months....what's the hurry? It's not going anywhere anytime soon....

  • Jawbone does not work under Maverick MAC OSX 10.9

    The problem did not exists  under Tiger or Lion, once the Jawbone Era is connected via USB, one can update Contact list phone numbers,change the language of communication, etc ; in Jawbone Bluetooth land. However Jawbone Era can NO LONGER be accessed under Maverick. So I called MAC customer service, they sent me to Jawbone (Era) customer service  headquartered in Tijuana. Jawbone Customer service said "our technical team at Jawbone is working in to it." and it only took 20 minutes and the 37 days Maverick has been available.  Jawbone has failed . Jawbone has been disappointing.

    Hi not done this before so hope it works, and I am updating from OSX 10.9.4   

  • HP OfficeJet 6500A fax no longer works after Mavericks update

    After updating to Mavericks and installing the HP software drivers, the fax component no longer works.  I installed the fax part of the update, and when I print to fax, instead of triggering the machine to dial a number like it did in Mountain Lion, the printer prints out garbage text.  There's no relevant support page on HP's website about this issue.  Anyone got their HP fax to work via print to fax from their Mac?

    Hello Peter,
    It sounds like you are not able to fax from your HP OfficeJet 6500A.  I recommend the following steps for the issue you described:
    Follow these steps until the issue is addressed:
    Make sure that the printer is powered on, has ink / toner, and that there are no alerts on the printer’s control panel. Note: If you cannot clear an alert on the printer's control panel, stop here and check the printer's documentation or contact the manufacturer for support.
    Ensure the printer is properly connected to a USB port on the Mac or AirPort base station / Time Capsule. If the printer is a network-capable printer, make sure that it is properly connected to your home network.
    Use Software Update to find and install the latest available updates. If an update is installed, see if the issue persists.
    Open the Print & Scan pane or Print & Fax (Snow Leopard) pane in System Preferences.
    Delete the affected printer, then add the printer again.
    If the issue persists, try these additional steps:
    Reset the printing system, then add the printer again.
    If the issue still persists, reset the printing system again.  Download and install your printer's drivers. Then, add the printer again.
    Contact the printer vendor or visit their website for further assistance.
    Additional Information
    Note: If your printer is wireless-capable, you should first add the printer to your network. Use the printer's control panel, or temporarily connect the printer to your Mac via USB.  For more details, see this article.

  • Option-drag contacts to Finder no longer works in Mavericks

    In all versions of Contacts and Address Book you could select multiple contacts, hold down the option key, then click and drag them into a folder, which would result in a separate vCard for each contact. If you did not hold down Option prior to dragging, all contacts were combined into a single vCard (eg: John Smith and 10 others.vcf).
    I just installed Mavericks and now the option-drag method no longer works. As I drag the contacts to a folder everything looks like it is working as normal, except that when I drop, nothing shows up in the finder, the folder remains empty. If I don't hold down the option key, it works as normal and a single vCard is created for multiple contacts. Dragging one at a time also still works.
    I would like to know if others are experiencing this as well. I assume this must be a bug, as without this ability the only way to export multiple separate vCards (that I know of) would be to drag them one at a time.

    It's frustrating when Apple removes a feature you're used to using...  But when they close a door.... 
    Do the following:
    1) Open the Contacts Application and select all the contacts you want to export
    2) Open the Automator application and create a New Workflow
    3) Select "Contacts" from the Library panel at the left
    4) Drag the action "Get Selected Contact Items" from the middle panel and select "Get Selected PEOPLE" from the drop-down menu.
    5) Drag the action "Export vCards" from the middle panel and select "Export INDIVIDUAL VCARDS" from the first drop-down menu and select a destination FOLDER from the second drop-down menu. Just create a new folder on your Desktop and select it, you don't want to save directly on the Desktop as this will put all your individual vcards there.
    6) Run the workflow by hitting the PLAY button at the top-right of the window.
    Optionally, you can save the workflow for future use, but the best practice would be to use the Get Selected Items and not the Get Specified Items, as the later would only export the contacts you already have there and not the new ones, I believe.
    In any case, there's the window!
    Rick.

  • Applications no longer work with mavericks

    After downloading Mavericks,
    1. Applications no longer work, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, microsoft Office, Illustrator, and more
    2. Multiple displays no longer work
    3. Tried restoriing, but would not let me.
    What is the fix to this... Anyone know?

    1. Applications no longer work, Dreamweaver, Photoshop, microsoft Office, Illustrator, and more
    If coming from Snow Leopard, then PowerPC based apps will not run on anything beyond Snow Leopard.
    2. Multiple displays no longer work
    Multiple monitors work for me.  There are people that have some issues with multiple monitors.  Look at
    <http://discussions.apple.com/message/26542996?tstart=0#26542996>
    Does that help?
    Or can you please describe how it doesn't work.
    3. Tried restoriing, but would not let me.
    Restoring what?  the older version of Mac OS X?  What version is that?  Did you make a backup before upgrading?  If so, what kind of backup?

  • ITunes Home Sharing No Longer Working Under Lion

    Home Sharing is no longer working between Lion and my Apple TV or iPhone. I am able to watch Netflix through my Apple TV (2nd Gen) so I do have connectivity. I have restarted both devices, and updated iTunes to 10.4. Under "Advanced" in iTunes, Home Sharing is turned on. In Preferences in iTunes under Sharing, it says Status: On, no users connected, even though my Apple TV is connected to the network.
    Is this problem isolated, or are others experiencing the same issue?

    I'm up and running. Spoke with Apple and they had me go to : preferences, network and create a new location. That seems to have reset something. I had to reset all my devices back to my main network that had stopped working. The guest network will not let Home Sharing work, only the main network.
    Others have been able to use Home Sharing without clicking "Done" after typing in their password. After you click "Done" the Shared disappears in iTunes.
    Apple help people were GREAT!

  • Sync no longer working under 10.6.3

    I can no longer sync under 10.6..3 to MobileMe, it worked perfectly prior to the update. When I open my address book I get the following pop up box stating:
    You need to replace your Contact Information on MobileMe. There is a box to click on that says "Replace". When I click on the box nothing happens.
    I went to the preferences pane and selected MobileMe-Sync-Advanced and invoked Reset Sync Data. That also did not work. I went to MobileMe using Safari and deleted all my contacts and tried everything again and nothing worked again. So I am stuck and unable to upload or sync from my computer to MobileMe. Incidentally, I also tried to run all the scripts using Cocktail and cleared all the caches. Any more ideas for me?

    can only be done under Windooz, correct? or can you do this on a Mac?
    Have you tried it with USB just to verify whether or not it works that way?
    just did, USB option works.

  • Is there a 10.9 Server app available as 10.8 now longer works with Mavericks

    Since updating from Mountain Lion to mavericks the 10.8 Server.app software does not run, is there an update to 10.9

    tbh I'd forgotten about the OS Version mis-match problem with Server.app and because I'd found a version of Work Group Manager that ran under Mavericks thought there'd be a version of Server.app as well
    As there's no way we will be update all our servers to Mavericks, I'll just have to revert to Apple Remote Desktop and run Server.app locally
    Thanks for jogging my memory Semmelroccys about
    PS Since Apple stopped making XServes they don't seem to give a **** about enterprise useage
