Do i need to install new actions on everyone's machines?

I've created some Automator workflows and saved them as Applications for people to use on our local file server, however, when attempting to use them from other people's machines it complains about actions not being installed and won't work.
Does this mean I have to install any actions I downloaded and used in a workflow onto all machines in order for them to be able to use them? Seems a bit daft.

You can include Automator actions in an application's bundle, although I'm not sure what happens if the action (or another version of the action) is already installed.

  • I need to install new version of safari on my system 10.6.8

    I need to instal new vesion of safari on my mcbook system OS X, 10.6.8 processor 1.83 GHz Intel core duo. Seems like I had to upgrade to Yosemite. I try but does not let me install.

    Your computer can't be upgraded past 10.6.8. If Safari 5.1.10 isn't new enough for you, you need to switch browsers.

  • Installing new actions where is photo creations/photo effects folder?

    Hi,
    I've purchased a new Windows 7 32 bit OS, installed PSE7 and now trying to install my favorite "actions" but cannot locate the appropriate folder to drop them into! Show Hidden files and folders is activated.  Also not showing is the Mediadatabase.db3 folder. Have also tried copying into the search bar the approriate file string but still no luck.  Have searched the forums to see if someone else has had this issue but apparently not.
    Hope someone can help.
    Cheers,

    Hi there,
    The path to install the action is:
    Start Menu
    Computer
    Local Disk (C:) (This could possibly be a different letter, but is  usually C and most likely will be your computer’s root directory.)
    ProgramData (If you don’t see this, it’s probably hidden. Go to  Start/Control Panel/Appearance and Personalization/Folder Options/Show  Hidden Files and Folders and activate the radio button next to Show  Hidden Files & Folders)
    Adobe
    Photoshop Elements
    7.0
    Photo Creations
    Photo Effects
    Mediadatabase is in 7.0/Locale/en_us.
    If you need more help, detailed instructions are available on my website.  The method for PSE 7 is exactly the same for PSE 8, just use the folder appropriate for your version.

  • Need to install new hard disc on my MacPro

    Hi,
    After less than 3 year's the hard disc crashed and I need to install a new one. Very dissapointing!
    Can someone please provide me with a link on "how to..."?
    I guess I'll need to start by formatting the new hard disct and then use time maschine to get things back to normal. However on all pages I read there's talking about DVD start-up, and I do not have any!! (were not provided with the MacPro)
    Thanks in advance.

  • I need to install new Mac operating system Yosemite. Will Adobe CS5.5 still be compatible with Yosemite or will I have toupgrade all my Adobe products?

    I need to install an upgrade to my mac - Yosemite.  Will my CS5.45 version of Adobe products be compatible with Yosemite or will I need to purchase and install upgrades to all the products?

    Actually, the question is whether MacOS 10.10 is compatible with CS5.5, an existing application. Alas, when you are running MacOS, you pretty agree to an environment in which an OS upgrade may force application upgrades simply because Apple purposely does not maintain compatibility with existing applications. Sad, but true. Nothing that Adobe can do to get around this.
    And more to your original point, Bob Levine is correct. It is not officially supported on MacOS 10.10 and even if you can coerce it to install and run at all, you will definitely have a compromised experience.

  • I have tried everything to get my new ipod nano to work with Windows 8.  Do I need to install new drivers or what?

    Got a ipod nano for Christmas.  Installed already bought tunes on it with my computer at the time which was running Vista OS. Had to buy a new computer in March with Windows 8.  Did not buy any songs until April 29th or so...but they will not show in my ipod nano.  Talked with a tech and he got my songs into the new computer.  However, after we hung up, I tried to download the 2 new songs into my ipod and it would not do it.  I noticed that the "cloud" icon was not by any of the songs - only the word: downloaded.  I am thinking that since this is a 64 bit computer that I need to do something else, but don't know what.  Can you help me?  Thank you

    So you have tried a different USB sync cable and as well as plugging it into all the USB ports on your system?  Did you try removing all other USB peripherals (excluding keyboard and mouse if necessary) to see if that did any good?
    What happens if you connect it to another PC or Mac?

  • Novice needs help installing new hard drive

    I have a macbook and purchased a new hard drive after my current hard drive failed. I can remove the battery, unscrew the 3 screws, install the new hd. What are the steps that follow to bring my machine up to being back to normal? Let's approach this with "color by numbers" type instruction. Thanks

    Bama--
    You score points for guts. Novice changing HDD is not one I see often. You also lose points for not getting directions first before starting. (I work in education, and thus grade a lot of work and exams.)
    As this is an open book/open note exam for you, best you look here: http://manuals.info.apple.com/en/MacBook13inch_HardDriveDIY.pdf. If this is not your MacBook, then we'll need just a bit more info to steer you in the right direction.
    There is no time limit on this exam.
    Best of luck--

  • Need help installing new hard drive and wiping the old one for Windows XP.

    I’ve searched to try and figure out the answer to my question and haven’t been too successful, so hopefully someone can help me out. I have a new Mac Pro that I haven’t even turned it on yet because I’m waiting for some upgrades to show up. Here is what I plan to do, I’m unsure of what I need to do and what order to do it in:
    It has a stock 250GB hard drive that I plan to wipe and install Windows XP on. I have a new 750GB drive coming that will run Leopard which will be my primary OS. Once I have this set up, I will probably try running VM Fusion which I assume I can install later on. Here are my questions:
    When I put my new blank 750GB drive in to install Leopard, will OS X boot up off the Leopard install disc to then allow me to do the install?
    When do I wipe the smaller drive to put Windows on it, before or after I’ve installed Leopard on the new drive? How should I wipe it, using the Bootcamp setup assistant or Disc Utility? If I wipe it after installing Leopard, will I be prompted for which drive to boot from?
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I don't use Windows, but I think the proper order to do things would be this:
    First, if your Mac Pro came with Tiger installed, when you start it up for the first time, you'll need to go through some initial setup, create an administrator account, etc. You can go ahead and do this.
    Afterwards, you can install your 750 GB drive. Next, you can insert your Leopard disk, and go to System Preferences/Startup Disk to choose to start up from the disk. (Alternatively, if you just choose "Install Mac OS X" from the disk, it will instruct you to restart the mac.)
    When the mac boots from the disc, install Leopard on your 750. Once you have that done, and have booted from that drive, you'll be able to erase your 250 in Disk Utility, and then install Windows on it.

  • Need help installing new itunes version on older mac for nano syncing

    I purchased a new nano and new music, but can't get the nano sync because desktop mac is requesting me to upgrade the iTunes version.
    When I do, it says "This update requires OS X version 10.7.5 or later." How does this get done?

    Which exact model computer?  To get more information about your computer, go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac", then "More Info..."  Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
    https://www.apple.com/support/ipodnano/6th_generation/getstarted/
    Basically you're stuck unless you can upgrade OS.  There's no other way to transfer music to the device.

  • SPECS FOR NEW MBP HARD DRIVE AND HOW TO INSTALL NEW OS AND USE TIME MACHINE

    I need to replace the hard drive in my early-2006 1.83 MacBook Pro (15-inch), because the Genius at the Apple Store told me that I'm getting weird behavior on it due to the drive slowing down and that it won't last much longer.
    I have 2 questions:
    First, I want to order the drive online and have it installed locally. I will probably get a 320 to 500GB drive. What are the exact other specs I will need to find the right one?
    Second, I am currently running 10.5.8 and backing up with Time Machine. I would like to install 10. 6 on the new drive, but don't know how to go about using the Time Machine backup to get all my apps and files running. Can someone describe this procedure for me?
    Many thanks!

    Hi Annie,
    You need a 2.5" 9.5mm high SATA HD, either 5400 or 7200RPM. Check out macsales, newegg, amazon to name a few places.
    How to restore from a TM backup: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
    Prepare your HD by formatting and partitioning it:
    1. Boot from install disc (press power button, immediately insert install disc and hold down c key).
    2. Select your language.
    3. Open Disk Utility from Utilities menu.
    4. Select the HD in the left pane (the manufacturer’s name and the HD model number).
    5. Click on the Erase tab.
    6. Choose the Format: Mac OS Extended (Journaled).
    NOTE: if you want to zero the HD (which I always think is a good idea, but does take time), click on Security Options, click the button for Zero Out Data, click OK. The larger the HD, the longer this will take, in some cases several hours.
    7. Click on Erase and wait for the entire process to finish.
    8. Click the Partition tab.
    9. Click on Volume Scheme: and choose the number of partitions (normally just one unless you have other plans).
    10. Click on the Options button (located underneath the Volume Scheme pane) and select GUID.
    11. Click Apply.
    12. Quit Disk Utility and continue with the installation process to install OSX or run Restore from a TM backup; when finished, repair permissions, run updates, repair permissions.
