Enabling GUI scripting via AppleScript

So I have a launch-daemon that needs to utilize GUI scripting. I need to be able to enable it through AppleScript (or really any scriptable, automated means). I am trying to do this:
tell application "System Events" to if not UI elements enabled then
set UI elements enabled to true
return UI elements enabled
end if
but it doesn't seem to do anything. The return query is just to check that it worked, but it never does. I have tried saving the script and running it as administrator (sudo osascript myScript.scpt) but it still doesn't work. I never get prompted for admin credentials. This occurs when logged in as administrator or non-admin user. Any ideas?

tell application "System Events"
set UI elements enabled to true
end tell
tell application "System Events"
return UI elements enabled
end tell
The second part is just to test what the current setting it. It always stays false.

How do I run a shell script via AppleScript?

Seems obvious, "do shell script" but that doesn't work for me.
I have an Automator app which runs a shell script, I'd like to take that into an AppleScript. My AS doesn't run the shell script. Perhaps "do shell script' is expecting the script to be located elsewhere? The rest of my AS runs fine, but the shell script doesn't.
repeat with i from 1 to count of items in exportFolder
do shell script
          "exiftool -overwrite_original -Photoshop:CopyrightFlag='True'"
done
end repeat
As I say this works within an Automator app, what changes do I need to make it work in AppleScript?
Thanks!

What is 'exportFolder'? Where is it defined?
Thanks, 'exportFolder' is defined earlier in the script. The purpose of the script - which is run from within Aperture - is to rename the selected images, export them (to the 'exportFolder'), reset the version name and, using ExifTool, add metadata which Aperture does not write to exported JPEGs.
I have a version of this which works in Automator but I couldn't see any clues there on setting the path to ExifTool.
Here's the full (modified) script. Currently it returns an error
Result:
error "No file specified" number 1
so I now need to understand if I can use 'exportFolder' (defined at the start) to tell Finder which folder to use.

Why can't we "set visuals enabled" of iTunes via AppleScript anymore?

You used to be able to set visuals enabled of iTunes to true or false. But the current version of Leopard and iTunes prohibit this.
Thus if you do:
tell application "iTunes"
set visuals enabled to true
end tell
you get the error:
AppleScript Error
iTunes got an error: Can’t set visuals enabled to true.
Is this a bug?

Your code of ...
tell application "iTunes" to set visuals enabled to true
... works, as expected, on a PowerPC G4 PowerMac, running Tiger (MacOS X 10.4.11), with iTunes v. 7.0.1.
Your code presents the AppleScript error message of ...
'iTunes got an error: Can’t set visuals enabled to true.'
... on an Intel based MacMini, running Tiger (MacOS X 10.4.11), with iTunes v. 7.5; and, and an Intel based MacBook, running 'Leopard'* (MacOS X 10.5.2), with iTunes v. 7.4.2, respectively.

AppleScript GUI scripting WGM

In preparation for adding over 700 users, we've written an AppleScript script that uses GUI scripting on WGM. Everything works as expected, except that data entered into the Comment field (Advanced tab) disppears after switching to a different user and then returning to the newly-added user. All other fields are fine, it's just Comments.
Has anyone else done AppleScript GUI scripting on WGM?

I can't answer directly, but there are numerous other reports of text fields not 'sticking' via UI scripting (not just in WGM).
If it's not too late, I wouldn't recommend using UI scripting for such a large task. There are too many variables that could mess it up.
If you haven't run the import yet I'd recommend taking a look at dscl, the Directory Service Command Line tool - it lets you manipulate any data in your directory via a command line interface. It should be more robust than UI scripting when dealing with mass updates like this.

Activate a session via Gui scripting

Hi,
how to activate an active SAP-session via Gui Scripting or maybe a workaround?
There are some SAP sessions running and I want to activate a certain one of them.
I tried to activate a session with:
AppActivate session.findById("wnd[0]").Text
but, as we know, if there are the same task names in Task Manager, the function will start any one of them.
Any idea?

Dear Casmir,
I use the following code:
 suFound = False
 suError = False
 sgSystem = Trim(Cells(Target.Row, scSysCol))
 sgClient = Trim(Cells(Target.Row, scCliCol))
 sgUser = Trim(Cells(Target.Row, scUsrCol))
 sgPW = Trim(Cells(Target.Row, scPwdCol))
 suError = True
 suError = Not ssApplication
 If suError Then GoTo StopSub
 For Each suConnection In sgApplication.Connections
 suSysName = suConnection.Description
 If suSysName = sgSystem Then
 For Each suSession In suConnection.sessions
 suSysClient = suSession.info.client
 If suSysClient = sgClient Then
 AppActivate suSession.findById("wnd[0]").Text
 'Aktive Instanz herausfinden, SID/Client checken
 Set suAkt = sgApplication.ActiveSession()
 suAktName = suAkt.Parent.Description
 suAktClient = suAkt.info.client
 If sgSystem <> suAktName Or sgClient <> suAktClient Then
 If Not suFound Then
 suFound = True
 AppActivate "Microsoft Excel"
 A = MsgBox(sgSystem & " - " & sgClient & " NOT selectable", vbOKOnly + vbCritical + vbDefaultButton1, "SAP Automation")
 End If
 Else
 suFound = True
 End If
 Exit For
 End If
 suSysClient = ""
 Next
 End If
 If suFound Then Exit For
 suSysName = ""
 Next
As you can see, I got at that point all the necessary session and connection data.
There are several SAP-Tasks open and what I want is to get a specific one as active window on my screen. That doesn't work if the sessions have the same Task-name, for instance "SAP Easy Access". Because Windos is not albe to find the right SAP-task - they have the same name - and it takes usally the wrong one of them. Thats my problem.
Many Thanks for your Help

click menu item "Document"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
click button "Ok" of window 1

Using AppleScript to re-format with GUI scripting

Background:
I use Pages 4.1 under Mac OSX 10.6.8.
I use medical practice software called Genie, built on 4D. When I create a new letter based on a template in Genie, some formatting is required before the letter is sent. This is repetitive and frequent - just the sort of task for scripting. With help from many people on Apple discussions, I now have a script that converts the text in Pages from A (starting and ending with =====) to B (starting and ending with +++++). The text and the script are edited, as there are about 30 lines in the real Mental State Exam.
The script uses Styles within Pages to change the formatting of the headings. It uses GUI scripting with find and replace to add spaces before measurement abbreviations. It use GUI scripting to italicise some sub-headings.
I tried to use GUI scripting of the Advanced tab of the Find & Replace window, but I was unsuccessful, as I don't know how to find out the names of the various items in the Find & Replace window. (E.g. Where it says "Style:" with a dropdown menu starting with "Any", I don't know how to refer to this dropdown menu).
Although this script works, it's slower than I would like, and it's a bit clunky because of the way I have incorporated elements of scripts more knowledgable users, and cobbled them together.
I would appreciate any advice on how to improve the script.
Thanks,
Peter

    end repeat
    set L to character offset of characters whose it = " " or it = " "
    set n to -2
    repeat with i from (count L) to 1 by -1

GUI scripting question -am I sunk?

Hi all,
I am working on an Applescript to bring up two different non-Applescript-able applications (ie. ones w/o a dictionary) and am getting the error:
NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError : 4 from Applescript.
I have "Enable access for assitive devices" checked in SystemPreferences and am GUI scripting.
Here's the snippet of code that gives the error:
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
activate application "TRx Recorder"
tell button " Record " of tool bar 1 of window "TRx Recorder"
click
end tell
end if
end tell
I generated the code "tell button ..." from the Prefab's UI Browser.
I've tried clicking via the name of the button, and via the position of the button. Same error.
Does this mean I'm sunk and can't get the app to respond to my Applescript?
When I select the Action of button " Record " from within the UI Browser, it works fine.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks!
Ed

Hi Camelot,
Yes indeed I needed a "tell process ..." block, as well as, 2 extra spaces in the label for the Record button.
I got the following to work:
tell application "System Events"
if UI elements enabled then
activate application "TRx Recorder"
tell process "TRx Recorder"
click button " Record " of tool bar 1 of window "TRx Recorder"
end tell
end if
end tell
I dug around using UI Browser and discovered that I needed 2 blanks in front of and 2 blanks behind of the label "Record" to correctly access the button. I originally had 1 space in front of Record and 1 space after Record within the quotes. With only 1 space I get the Applescript error I mentioned. With 2 I don't get the error.
Many thanks for the tip, it made me look closer at the labels of the buttons in UI Browser.

How do you "save as" in Acrobat 9 via Applescript?

Greetings all,
I'm using the Applescript Script Editor and trying to do a "save as." The Applescript dictionary for Acrobat 9 has a reference to "save" in the Core Suite, but no matter what I try, I get an AS error that typically contains the text "document 1 does not understand the save message."
I can do a "save as" via Applescripting that GUI but that seems problematic as well (I've set the Properties > Initial View options for document 1 after inserting a page--all via Applescript--but doing a "save as" via the GUI apparently does not save those properties. I would hate to have to script the process of having Acrobat open the file again and reset the initial view; I should be able to do that before saving the new file.
Thanks,
Kevin

Hold down the OPTION key. The Save As option should appear in the File menu.

Tool Tip / GUI-script battle

I've got a slider that invokes a handler that performs some AppleScript GUI scripting ( ... unfortunate, yes, but there's no other way.)
The slider has a Tool Tip.
If I click and drag outside of the slider's mouseDown region, no problem. The GUI stuff works as expected.
If I drag inside the slider's mouseDown region, the ToolTip appears at it designated time, as if I were hovering. This causes a NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4 (1) error. Certainly makes sense that I'd get an error when the Tool Tip comes to the front. But I'm confused as to why it appears. None of my non-GUI related sliders have this problem.
Suggestions?
Here are a few other Tool Tip questions:
1) Can I increase or decrease the display length for all tool tips?
2) Is it possible to keep tool tips visible indefinitely while the user hovers the mouse over the object, closing on mouseLeave?
3) Can I toggle all Tool Tips to enabled or disabled?
Thanks, John

Server Push Notification via Applescript

I am running a Mac Mini Server 10.9.
I know that I can display a system notification by via AppleScript by doing:
display notification "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet" with title "Title"
However; I would like to push a custom notification down to my iCloud enabled devices using Apple's Notification Protocol, bundled with server.
For example purposes- My server is on a public IP address, which is dynamic. If it changes, I have a bash script setup to send me an email with the new IP address. I was hoping to utilize Apple's Notification tools to provide a more elegant solution for accomplishing these type of notifications.
Thanks in advance for any insight.

Dimiter Dimitrov
For push notification, you have to use security profile as "Notification" and have to add required role as "Notification User". You can also add other authentication providers as you mentioned for MYSAPSSO2.
Settings>Security profiles>Notification(Cannot be deleted)
For APNs traffic to get past your firewall, you'll need to open these ports:
TCP port 5223 (used by devices to communicate to the APNs servers)
TCP port 2195 (used to send notifications to the APNs)
TCP port 2196 (used by the APNs feedback service)
TCP Port 443 (used as a fallback on Wi-fi only, when devices are unable to communicate to APNs on port 5223)
Send Push Notifications to the Device

Cisco Prime Infrastructure 2.1 GUI authentication via RADIUS server (Cisco ISE 1.2 integrated with AD)

Hi,
I want to access Cisco PI 2.1 GUI using my AD credentials, so on PI I've enabled RADIUS AAA Mode and added RADIUS servers (two ISE nodes in our case). On ISE I added PI as RADIUS client and configured the same keys. Next, on ISE I created authorization profile PRIME_ADMIN_ACCESS with only attribute settings defined:
My authentication and authorization rules relating that case are as on following screenshots:
So when I open GUI of PI and enter my AD credentials to log in I have no success and I receive following message:
Looking in ISE's Authentication section I can see following:
Time difference between these two authentication/authorizations is just 25 msecs and clicking on each of them reveals following:
So at first I can authenticate and authorize (authorization profile has necessary attributes defined for PI management access (NCS:role0=Root, NCS:virtual-domain0=ROOT-DOMAIN)) and after 25 msecs I am getting failure. So what could be cause of such things and how I can successfully log in to PI GUI authenticating via ISE using AD credentials?

Hi,
-- Please Go to Administration > Logging > set the Message level to TRACE > Click save
-- Then try to add the ISE.
-- Once it fails, collect the logs from Administration > Logging >
check the "ncs-0-0.log" & search the file for "ERROR" & paste the results here. This will give us exact reason.

Java Script is disabled on my HP laptop. I have done the obvious things. It still will not enable Java Script. What do I try next?

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the add-ons is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
* Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.
See:
* [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]]
* [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
* Use "Disable all add-ons" on the [[Safe mode]] start window to disable all extensions.
* Close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (Mac: "Firefox > Quit"; Linux: "File > Quit")

SAP GUI Scripting: Script Is Running.....Help!

Hello all,
I'm new to the forums and have an SAP question problem. I'm an end user of SAP and have been using it since 2002. A couple of weeks ago when I logged into SAP I noticed a red/white icon in the lower right corner of my screen. When I hover over it it says "SAP GUI Scripting: Script Is Running". The problem is, I have never created a script. When I start working in SAP I have noticed a lot of the screens have a different format now and I get a lot of ABAP errors.
After doing some research I found under "Customize Local Layout", "Options" I can uncheck the box "Enable Scripting". I click "Apply" and "OK". Now the red/white icon goes away in the lower right corner and all my screens go back to normal with no ABAP errors.
The problem now is that every minute or two I get a pop up window that says "Scripting support is disabled by the user".
Has anyone else had this problem?
1. I've never created a script. Why is one running now?
2. Is there a way to stop the pop up message "Scripting support is disabled...." if I uncheck "Enable Scripting"?
Thanks for any feedback

I agree, I'm stumped. I even tried looking through the SAP entries in my registry to see if I could find anything. It's a bit confusing but I didn't see anything out of place.
