First time automator help?

I want to create an automator action that will send an email twice a
day to someone that will tell them my current IP address.
As I've never done one of these before I think the best way to do this
is to tell automator to go to www.myipaddress.com and either email the
text, or take and email a screenshot. Can anyone please help me work through my first automator or give me a lead on where to find help?
Thanks!

Itunes application error when attempting to open for first time. HELP

Running windows xp pro, just bought new ipod classic, installed itunes software. When attempting to open for first time i get an itunes.exe - application error, error message that reads "The instruction at "0x100001040" referenced memory at "0x100001040". The memory could not be "read". Click ok to terminate the propgram. Click on CANCEL to debug the program. I have tried re-installing several times, cleaned temp etc. Nothing. Please help, i really want to start using my new ipod.

You have to unhide your library folder and adjust the user permissions to allow write access.

I can't open any apps I downloaded after connecting to the computer (itunes) for the first time! Help!

I connected my iphone 4s to my macpro for the first time to add some musci, I didn't touch the apps folder.
But after ejecting, I can't open any of the apps I downloaded. When I press on them, they just shake but nothing opens!

You shouldn't. Downloading the app re-authenticated the iTunes account on your phone. This happens to people from time to time (not sure why) but making you are logged into the Apple store in iTunes with your Apple ID prior to syncing might help.

First Time Buyer Help!!

I have been researching camcorders for a month now and can't seem to make a decision. My wife and I are getting ready to have a kid and I want to people to record lots of footage and have it look nice.
I have noticed two cameras always coming up in my search the Panasonic HDC-TM700 and the Canon Vixia HF S21. Are these cameras too much for me for my first time. I have a new computer Intel I5 Processor and have read some things that a lot of computers can't handle the TM700 60p footage. This worries me. I also want to burn DVD's of our footage to play on my PS3 with the best quality I can.
Basically I am looking for some guidance. Any suggestions are these two the best or should I go with something else? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

It's hard to go wrong with the Canon Vixias - I have an HF100 and it's great.
I can't remember why I chose it over Panny back then - I THINK (but am not sure) that the Pannys in that price range didn't have an external microphone input, but am not sure about that. You WANT an external mic input!
Also make sure to check to make sure that the price difference between an S200 and S21 isn't more than the cost of the same amount of memory in SDHC cards. At the time I bought my HF100, the HF10 was a BAD choice - it was $50-100 more, when it would cost <$20 to buy an SDHC with the same capacity.
AVCHD is in general pretty difficult to play back, but an i5 should have enough CPU oomph and a new enough GPU to play it back. Editing AVCHD footage is going to be unpleasant for a long time since that can't be GPU accelerated easily.
The PS3 is an amazing playback machine. You can put AVCHD memory cards into a USB SDHC reader and the PS3 will play it back directly! You will be very limited as to how much footage you can burn to a DVD - A DVD containing a Blu-Ray file structure (needed for HD quality) will only hold 30 minutes or so of video. To put more on a disc you'll need a BD-R drive.
(As a reference, a 16GB SDHC card in my HF100 holds about 2 hours of video. The HF200/S200 record at a slightly higher bitrate so will be less time in the same space. A DVD can only hold 4.7 GB.)

Cannot connect to iTunes for first time. Help?

I'm an original iPhone user. I bought a 3G for my girlfriend and tried to hook it up to iTunes for the first time on her HP Pavilion dv2000 laptop (Windows Vista Home Premium, Service Pack 1). When I connect the phone, it says "This iPhone cannot be used because the required software is not installed." Then it asks me to uninstall and reinstall iTunes. Fine, no problem. I've done it a million times, I've uninstalled Quicktime, I've tried so many things. I've Googled for hours and have seen similar problems. The only difference between her problem and the rest is that the Apple Mobile Device does not show up in the task manager and does not seem to be installed. Every solution I've come across says to restart the AMD, or to uninstall the AMD (along with iTunes) and reinstall it. However, it doesn't even exist on her computer at all. For some reason, it won't install when I install iTunes. I'm exhausted from looking for an answer. Can anyone help? Thank you mucho!

Try task manager, Services tab (may need admin account to do this).
Scan down the list looking for Apple Mobile Device driver. See if it is there, and disabled, or set to start manually, and if so Right click it and select Start the service.
If its not in the list, then go to Control panel, Programs and see if it is in that list. If so un-install it (as well as bonjour, Mobile Me, iTunes) and reboot. <--dont forget.
Then do a FRESH download of iTunes to make sure you have the proper version. (64bit vs 32bit - your processor is 64bit, but that doesn't mean that your vista is. Download the one that matches your Vista platform).
Shut down your virus scanner.
Then install itunes again.
Then go back to Task manager, and see if Apple Mobile Device driver is installed and set to start automatically. Unless you have other devices in the house shut down bonjour (it serves no real purpose other than opening useless ports on your machine), (just right click bonjour an set to start manually or disable it).
Then make sure you are plugged directly into a usb port, not a hub.

Problem accessing MySites blogs for the first time - please help?

I have a customer who has installed SharePoint 2013 with a norwegian language pack, and it's working fine, except for a couple of things. We have a custom search web part that lists the 5 latest blog posts, but we're experiencing a bit of trouble with this.
It's similiar to this question:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/4b1d053b-3b32-4e5d-834d-37f25c8b177d/opening-mysite-blog-links-gives-404-on-first-try?forum=sharepointgeneral
When I click a new blog for the first time, I get sent to a non-existing web page with the following link:
http://domainremoved.com/person/garrobbi/Blog/Lists/Posts/Post.aspx?List=c0a7fffb-fa75-4b74-a1ef-523b6c389e77&ID=1&Web=d3c87cb9-6a8e-4ed1-a998-a4d5e546fe27
and get a 404 error.
If i click back and navigate again, i get sent successfully to the same link but with Posts replaced by Innlegg.
I have also verified that the url of the link is the correct one in the first place, when i hover over the link.
The second problem they have, is that the blog profile pictures are missing. We've set up sharepoint with host named side collections and different url's pr site collection. Profile search and mysites shows pictures succesfully from both inside and outside,
but the blogpages show pictures based on were they are uploaded from. I've enabled crossdomainphotos on the web application.
Any clues?
Thanks in advance.

I took a quick scan of the fixes in SP1 and I don't see anything that looks to be a fix for what you're describing.

Ipod won't sync for the first time ever. I am also seeing the cloud for the first time. Help.

Windows 7 operating system. Ipod classic.
Added new content tonight (audio book discs - have done dozens of times before). Went to sync. Nothing doing. Tried two different cables. Noticed that what I added was put in the cloud. I had never seen the cloud before. I cannot get back to the regular library.
Usually when I sync, content on my device that is no longer in the library (in this case the cloud, I gues) is also deleted from the device. That isn't happening. I don't think things are syncing at all.
It would seem to me that it would not be the cloud that would sync, but the regular library, which I cannot seem to access.
Help

I have tried the suggestion to reset the sync log to no avail. Anyone have another idea? This just started after I downloaded 4.3.5.

First time Vpn help

Ok I have many questions Many. First the place i work for has a WRV54g vpn router. I have found NOTHING on google to help me set up a vpn with it. any help please here on a walk through or anything. Ok next question when i fumble through and setup the vpn the way I think it should be. I go to add user groups and it forces me to change the ips to 10.183.147.1 What the heck this throws all the network computers hay wire and the print server they have i can not get working with this ip is there any way to keep it 192.168.1.1. Finally what ports or security things do i need to turn off or on to connect into the remote computers router. Also i am useing cisco vpn client. PLEASE HELP

You really have two options here.
Your SonicWall Firewall has a built-in VPN server, so you could configure that, point your remote client to the SonicWall's address and you're set - the remote machine will be given an address in your internal (192.168.2.x) LAN and will be able to communicate with all the other machines on the LAN.
The other option is to configure the VPN server on your Mini, in which case you'll need to configure port forwarding on the SonicWall so that the VPN traffic (the UDP ports listed above) are passed through to the server.
The advantage of running on the Mac is that it's automatically tied into the directory system on your Mac, so any user in your Mac's directory will be able to establish a VPN connection. The downside is that it's a little more complex to setup due to the port forwarding requirements.
In either case, once the VPN connection is established your remote Mac will be able to communicate with any machine on the LAN (the Mini, other clients, printers, etc.). The only thing that won't work will be auto-discovery (e.g. Bonjour), so VPN-based servers won't appear in your Finder's sidebar, for example. To overcome this you'll need to make sure your LAN DNS is working properly or know the IP address of each machine on your LAN.

First Time Build Help.

Helll and I am happy to be here. I just built my first computer using the X58 Platinum. The problem is that when I turn it on the computer
will run for like a minute, turn off for like 5 seconds, and then turn itself on again. It does this until I just turn it off and unplug it. I have
connected everthing and checked them according to all the manufactures' direction. It runs fine with no error beeps,no smoking, no nothing.
I don't have a clue what to do next except take it down to Micro Center where I bought all the parts and let them figure it out,but there
will be no feeling of accomplishment for me. Here is what I have built.
Antec TwelveHundred case.
Intel i7 Processor.
750 watt power supply.
Baracuda 1.5 TB Sata hardrive.
Sony Blu Ray/DVD/CD Rom.
Diamond Radeon 4870 1 Gigabyte Graphics Card.
3 0CZG Triple Channel 2GB Memory cards 1600
I have double and triple checked every plug and connection. The Processor and fan is secured and powered. Nothing gets hot or overheated.
I plug my monitor into the graphic card hoping to see the BIOS screen but no Bios images on screen. I am stumped now and can't think of
anything else I can do. Don't have an OS on the new hardrive yet,but that was going to be after I viewed and setup whatever in the Bios.
Any suggestions or tips.

If you look else where on this forum you'll see a post from me asking the same thing as you did. However, the times on your double power up are way longer than mine. My double power up is only about 4 to 5 seconds total. We also have nearly identical hardware. Just last night I tried the overclock switch and mysteriously my double power up went away. If my temps stay stable and all continues to be well I'm staying with the overclock. I have no idea if using your overclock switch will fix your double power up, but based on our hardware similarity I'd say it's worth a try. It worked for me!

I have the same problem, but I do have configured the webserver (Apache 2) correctly and the server is NOT returning a 404 error.
To check this I used the a tcp monitor (Apache Axis).
The error message in Java Webstart is identical to the one discribed above.
In the tcp monitor I see the following :

Cannot sync for the first time, please help

I'm using 3-G4 units, two will sync 1 will not. The one that will not is a G3 B|W unit that I upgraded to a G4 Processor 500 MHz After giving this unit a different name than the others,I can see all three computers in the isync window but when I press sync it starts but stops right away not completing the sync.
G3-B|W Upgrade to G4 Mac OS X (10.3.9) 500MHz proc,650HD,

It has died. Like a million times. It won't stay recognized long enough to charge. do you know what I mean? Meaning, I'll get the little icon that means there's very low battery, and it's charging, then after a few minutes, it will say "no battery power, connect ipod to power"
And I've tried an adapter that lets you plug it into a wall, and that doesn't work either. I do have an ipod clock radio, tho with a dock... I'll try that tomorrow. If that doesn't work,I might buy her one, because I feel responsible for this. But you don't care about that XD
Thanks for the help

First time setup help!

I installed the disk onto my Macbook Pro and plugged in the AE to a power supply and connected my ethernet cord, but can only get the flashing amber light. How do I get it to recognize my internet source?

Sorry I'm not answering you, but am piggybacking on your question. I set up an AE for my parents and the internet is coming through fine. Their iMac and my iPhone were able to get on the WiFi no problem.
HOWEVER, it has an amber flashing light. I had my dad unplug everything today and start it up again but still that light is flashing. Is something wrong? How do we make that light green?

Is true that I need to charge my ipod 5G 12 hours for the first time?

Is true that I need to charge my ipod 5G 12 hours for the first time? Help me please

No, you need to charge until the battery shows it is fully charged...that can take only a couple hours depending on how far you have discharged it. You do not need to discharge the iPod all the way and then recharge...plug it in when convenient and top up that battery. Plug it in at night so it is charged in the morning.
You cannot overcharge the battery, the charging circuit shutsdown when the battery is fully charged so you cannot harm it leaving it plugged in.
