Help me! Airport and Applescript problem

Hi all!
I'm here for a very silly question. I need to activate a "computer-to-computer" airport connection
automatically.
I thought Applescript could help me.
The thing to do is to click OK in the dialog box that appears when you click "create network"
Here what I've done:
tell application "System Events"
tell process "SystemUIServer"
tell menu bar 1
tell menu bar item 1
click
tell menu 1
click menu item 7
tell window "Computer-to-Computer"
click button 1
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell
The Dialog Window appears but Applescript return an error:
NSreceiverEvaluationScriptError:4
What I can do?
Please helpme to solve this small script!
Many thankks in advance and all the best
Paul

The "Computer-to-Computer" window isn't a part of the menu, so you need to take that statement out of the "tell menu bar" statement:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 720px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #FFDDFF;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into the Script Editor">
tell application "System Events" to tell process "SystemUIServer"
tell menu bar 1
set menu_extras to value of attribute "AXDescription" of menu bar items
repeat with the_menu from 1 to the count of menu_extras
if item the_menu of menu_extras is "Airport Menu Extra" then exit repeat
end repeat
tell menu bar item the_menu
click
delay 0.5
click menu item "Create Network…" of front menu
delay 0.5
end tell
end tell
click button "OK" of window "Computer-to-Computer"
end tell
</pre>
Note that the menu extra can change location and the number of items in it can vary.

  • Pls Help! Drag and Drop problem, identical symbols acting differently - same code! WHY?

    In the attached file, I have a series of symbols that have a drag and drop command to change colour at different sections of a bullseye, and that are also text editable (html).
    However, some of the symbols get stuck and will not be moved after moving once or at all, and some get stuck once their text has been edited.
    I have poured over the code and it appears to be the same for each symbol - can anyone explain as to why this is happening?
    I also cannot now edit the text properly on the ipad (it is really fiddly to change between different symbols to edit their text -- is there maybe a better way to do this? A button to change between symbols to then edit their text, can you help with this too?)
    THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

    Hi, I think I undertsand what you mean now, so the code is as below, btu I am not sure what a handler is? but some of my risks still get stuck once the text has been changed on them:
    // Use for loop for attr
    // deleted  yepnope since you load with scropt loading
    // added pos for each symbol so we can replace them there.
    document.ontouchmove = function(e) {

  • Airport and network problems after recent update

    I want to know if someone is aware of what went wrong with the latest OS updates, all my computers forget my local wireless connection and sometimes I'm connected to my co-workers unprotected red. Airport just won't do its job.
    This issue is really frustrating since several applications like Flash for example give you and error when saving a file after reconnecting to your network after a network loss.
    If someone knows how to work this around to stop this annoying behavior please advise, I'm sure I am not the only one experiencing this.
    Regards

    Dear Eyewake,
    I have had the same problem recently, after QuickTime 7.1.1 upgrade. The only way I can now get wireless access is to leave the network unprotected at factory settings. At least one other person posting to this discussion list has this problem in the last week, but no replies.
    Do you know where else we can try to get help?

  • Need help solving listener and Oracle problems with Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger"

    I have Oracle 10g working on Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" except for the listener and Oracle net 8 configuration. I have not been able to get the Oracle listener to work with my built in Mac Airport wireless network card or built in ethernet card. I keep getting the errors

  • Need HELP with objects and classes problem (program compiles)

    Alright guys, it is a homework problem but I have definitely put in the work. I believe I have everything right except for the toString method in my Line class. The program compiles and runs but I am not getting the right outcome and I am missing parts. I will post my problems after the code. I will post the assignment (sorry, its long) also. If anyone could help I would appreciate it. It is due on Monday so I am strapped for time.
    Assignment:
    -There are two ways to uniquely determine a line represented by the equation y=ax+b, where a is the slope and b is the yIntercept.
    a)two diffrent points
    b)a point and a slope
    !!!write a program that consists of three classes:
    1)Point class: all data MUST be private
    a)MUST contain the following methods:
    a1)public Point(double x, double y)
    a2)public double x ()
    a3public double y ()
    a4)public String toString () : that returns the point in the format "(x,y)"
    2)Line class: all data MUST be private
    b)MUST contain the following methods:
    b1)public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
    b2)public Line (Point point1, double slope)
    b3)public String toString() : that returns the a text description for the line is y=ax+b format
    3)Point2Line class
    c1)reads the coordinates of a point and a slope and displays the line equation
    c2)reads the coordinates of another point (if the same points, prompt the user to change points) and displays the line equation
    ***I will worry about the user input later, right now I am using set coordinates
    What is expected when the program is ran: example
    please input x coordinate of the 1st point: 5
    please input y coordinate of the 1st point: -4
    please input slope: -2
    the equation of the 1st line is: y = -2.0x+6.0
    please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: 5
    please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: -4
    it needs to be a diffrent point from (5.0,-4.0)
    please input x coordinate of the 2nd point: -1
    please input y coordinate of the 2nd point: 2
    the equation of the 2nd line is: y = -1.0x +1.0
    CODE::
    public class Point{
         private double x = 0;
         private double y = 0;
         public Point(){
         public Point(double x, double y){
              this.x = x;
              this.y = y;
         public double getX(){
              return x;
         public double setX(){
              return this.x;
         public double getY(){
              return y;
         public double setY(){
              return this.y;
         public String toString(){
              return "The point is " + this.x + ", " + this.y;
    public class Line

         public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
              this.x = point1.getX();
              this.y = point1.getY();
              this.x2 = point2.getX();
              this.y2 = point2.getY();
              this.m = slope(point1, point2);
         public Line (Point point1, double slope)
              this.x = point1.getX();

              return m1;
         public String toString()
              double temp = this.x- this.x2;
              return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
              //y-y1=m(x-x1)

         public static void main(String[]args)
              Point p = new Point(3, -3);
              Point x = new Point(10, 7);
              Line l = new Line(p, x);
              System.out.println(l.toString());
    }My problems:
    I dont have the right outcome due to I don't know how to set up the toString in the Line class.
    I don't know where to put if statements for if the points are the same and you need to prompt the user to put in a different 2nd point
    I don't know where to put in if statements for the special cases such as if the line the user puts in is a horizontal or vertical line (such as x=4.7 or y=3.4)

    Sorry guys, I was just trying to be thorough with the assignment. Its not that if the number is valid, its that you cannot put in the same coordinated twice.
    public class Line
         private double x = 0;
         private double y = 0;

         public Line()
         public Line (Point point1, Point point2)
              this.x = point1.getX();
              this.y = point1.getY();
              this.x2 = point2.getX();
              this.y2 = point2.getY();
              this.m = slope(point1, point2);
         public Line (Point point1, double slope)
              this.x = point1.getX();
              this.y = point1.getY();
         public double slope(Point point1, Point point2)//finds slope
              double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());
              return m1;
         public String toString()
              double temp = this.x- this.x2;
              return this.y + " = " +temp + "" + "(" + this.m + ")" + " " + "+ " + this.y2;
              //y-y1=m(x-x1)

              Line l = new Line(p, x);
              System.out.println(l.toString());
    }The problem is in these lines of code.
    public double slope(Point point1, Point point2) //if this method finds the slope than how would i use the the two coordinates plus "m1" to
              double m1 = (point1.getY() - point2.getY())/(point1.getX() - point2.getX());

              //y-y1=m(x-x1)
         }if slope method finds the slope than how would i use the the two coordinates + "m1" to create a the line in toString?

  • Automator, iMovie and Applescript problem

    Hi,
    I'm trying to convert a .mov file to .mp4 using Visualhub and automator, but a step in my automator file uses an applescript step that just causes the automator flow to stop and the end and not gon one with the rest of the actions.
    More specifically:-
    1. I use my HD camera to film something.
    2. Connect the camera to my mac.
    3. Import the video using iMovie.
    4. My Automator actions ask me to confirm that iMovie has finished the import
    5. Then Ask for finder items, which is get the newly imported .mov into VisualHub
    6. Run the problematic Applescript:-
    on run {input, parameters}
    --we need to unset the default timeout length of two minutes, we'll make it 45
    with timeout of (45 * 60) seconds
    tell application "VisualHub" to set VisualHub to load script (scripts path of main bundle & "/automation.scpt" as POSIX file)
    tell VisualHub
    LoadSettings("/Volumes/MyBook/hd.cam.settings.vhub")
    --SetSaveLocation("YOURHARDDRIVE:Users:YOURNAME:Desktop:iphonemovies:temp")
    AddFiles(input)
    StartConversion()
    QuitApp()
    end tell
    end timeout
    return input
    --delay 15
    end run
    Which I've used from this site (http://professafresh.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/fun-with-automator/) and just stopped the two lines with a comment marker.
    What is supposed to happen after that is that
    7. Automator asks to confirm that VisualHub has finished.
    8. VisualHub quits
    9. Finder finds the .mov that was created when the film was imported
    10. Finder then moves the item to the trash.
    So there is something going on with the applescript that causes the process to stop after the conversion.
    Some points:-
    1. I have used the VisualHub import and convert script step but the default settings are not what I'm after as I want the video resized to 960x540.
    2. iMovie recognizes and keeps all the head info as long as the file name is the same. So if you skip over the thumbnail in iMovie the timestamp changes to reflect the time that the video was taken. If you convert the .mov to .mp4 the info is retained but with a much smaller video size.
    I've tried to give as much info as possible, sorry if it's too much.

    iMoive and iPhoto are not free apps. If you purchased them on your iPhone they should available to download again on your new iPhone.

  • Help with Dropdownbox and following problems

    Hello BWler.
    I think my post is rather a crazy idea, but I hope you can bring me on the right track! 
    My question: Is that generally feasible with HTML and Javascript or with other tools.
    I hope you understand my English.
    I would like to create a document (not the web item) in Web Application Designer which contains values from different Queries. It has three parts, Header, Body and Rest. The Header of the document can contain three different data (either material or customer or vendor), for which individual queries was defined. The Body gets data from an other query. The Rest is only text.
    This is my idea, but I don’t know, if it’s a good solution.
    In the first step I would like to fill a Dropdownbox with the three options of the Header (not on a characteristic in a query). The user selects a value and press the "submit" button.. Depending on which value was selected, the suitable Query and a defined characteristic should be used in the next Dropdownbox.
    That’s my attempt to fill my own dropdonbox an display the selected value. The URL looks right, but not the result ;-). The choice suitable dropdownbox was not implemented yet.
    customer
    material
    vendor
    Question: How can this be solved to join own and WAD dropdownboxes?
    Now if the right dropdownbox  is displayd, the values should be filtered. But e.g. for customer I have many values, therefore I’d like to create a nested dropdown menu. The first column should contain the letters “a” to “z”. After selection the values begins with this letter (e.g. all customers with letter “t”) should be read from the Query and then shown in the dropdownbox.
    Question: Is that generally possible and if so, what one must define in addition in query designer?
    Finally the result of the filtering should be displayed as text…

    @ Raja
    Thx for your reply. I will try it maybe later with BSP. Maybe I can also use java.
    @ Deepak
    Thx for your example. Now my first problem is solved. However, I have some more questions.
    DDB=Dropdownbox
    DP=DataProvider
    First:
    1) Is it possible to fill my own values in a BW-DDB without characteristic from query?
    Second:
    2) Is it possible to change only the DP for the same DDB.
    I would like to use the same DDB, either with the values of product or customer or vendor, if I change the value of my own DDB.
    My current solution is to change one DP with the right values.
    <option value="<SAP_BW_URL ITEM='DDB_ITEM_1' HIDDEN='' CMD_1="DATA_PROVIDER=DATAPROVIDER_2&CMD=RESET_DATA_PROVIDER&INFOCUBE=ZPRODUCT&QUERY=ZPR" IOBJNM='PRODUCT'>"> product</option>
    But my hope is to change only the DP(DATAPOVIDER1=customer, DATAPOVIDER2=vendor, DATAPOVIDER3=product) for the same DDB.
    So I test it ... but I receive only the DDB with a value (" All"):
    <object>
             <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
             <param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
             <param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_2"/>
             <param name="QUERY" value="ZVEND"/>
             <param name="INFOCUBE" value="ZVENDOR"/>
             DATA_PROVIDER:             DATAPROVIDER_2
    </object>
    <object>
             <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
             <param name="CMD" value="SET_DATA_PROVIDER"/>
             <param name="NAME" value="DATAPROVIDER_3"/>
             <param name="QUERY" value="ZPR"/>
             <param name="INFOCUBE" value="ZPRODUCT"/>
             DATA_PROVIDER:             DATAPROVIDER_3
    </object>
    <option value="<SAP_BW_URL ITEM='DDB_ITEM_1' HIDDEN='' IOBJNM='PRODUCT' CMD_1="DATA_PROVIDER=DATAPROVIDER_2& CMD=RESET_DATA_PROVIDER&DATA_PROVIDER=DATAPROVIDER_3"> "> product</option>
    Finally I still have my old question with the nested dropdwonbox in WAD...can somebody tell me, if its possible to create this.

  • HT1351 Help! Syncing and managing problem

    My Ipod will literally not sync or allow me to play the music off of my playlist on one of my authorized computers; it won't even allow me to manage it, or automatically sync/ update new music on the computer I had originally synced it with. What is going on? I would like to be able to add new songs I have purchased from the itunes library to my Ipod! Help!

    Hello kdanos,
    It sounds like you are not able to add new music to your iPod nano.  If you have synced your iPod nano with another computer, you may need to enable manual mode:
    If you want to keep the music library on your device, but copy songs or playlists from the music library on the second computer, click Cancel when the dialog box appears, and then set your device to manual mode.
    When in manual mode, to add songs or playlists, drag them from iTunes to the device icon in the sidebar. To remove songs or playlists, select them on the device in iTunes and press the delete key. You can also create playlists directly on the device.
    You can find all the steps under the section titled "Manual Mode" in the following article:
    Using iPhone, iPad, or iPod with multiple computers
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1202
    If you are still having trouble with syncing content after enabling manual mode, I recommend following the steps in the troubleshooting assistant the iPod nano.  I wasn't sure what generation of iPod you have, so just click on the model you have in the following link to get the steps for your model:

  • AOL causing problems with Airport and Mail

    It's another reason to get rid of AOL, but my wife is still hooked... when her AOL is running on the iMac G5 connected to the DSL modem, other computers can't access the Internet over the Airport from this G5 (and for some reason, Mac Mail won't send e-mail). When AOL isn't running, the Airport and Mail problems are gone. (It took a while to figure out this was the problem!)
    Does this problem have its root in the arcane world of sockets and ports? Or is there some AOL preference I can change to make it play nice with others?

    I think it is simply how AOL works. If you log into AOL it only wants that one connection working.
    The only router I know of that works with AOL is the AirPort Extreme base station (AEBS). I suggest that you get an AEBS and use that to share the connection instead of your iMac G5.

  • When I try to open Safari, I get NCSW21 and that server can't be found. This happens everytime. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Only with the Safari page. Can anybody help.

    Can't open Safari. I get "Can't find server". I get NCSW21 in my address bar. I am using AirPort and have a strong internet signal. I have no problem opening Firefox and surfing the web. Need help. Thanks

    Hi Professor66,
    I have a couple of suggestions for you regarding this issue. Here are two links to users who have posted similar questions to yours and have found their answers in the responses to their posts:
    Safari hangs when loading web pages. | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3784708
    Safari loading blank pages | Apple Support Communities
    https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3899912
    I would suggest that you first follow the troubleshooting that the OP did in the second link, which is to test in a new user account to see if the behavior is consistent. If it is, you may need to address the issue at a software level by re-installing Safari. More information on this process can be found in the following article:

  • Extreme problems with airport and harddrive no pun intended. please help.

    okay experts, please help. i have a lacie brick 500gb external drive that i got yesterday. i attatched it to the airport and the drive showed up on the desktop fine and dandy. the problem was that no backup software would recognize that a hard drive was attatched. i was given some advice to format the hard disk for apple using disk utility. i did that and it finished formatting this morning. (i had to do all this by plugging the hard drive in directly to the computer's usb port, it wouldn't let me do it attatched to the airport) now the dilemma is that when i attatch it to the airport, the disk no longer even shows up on the desktop, or anywhere else. wen i go to airport utility, manual setup and disks, it shows the hard drive there, but nowhere else. i know it isn't a problem with the hard drive because when plugged in directly to the computer, everything works fine. can someone please give me a run through of the settings i need to have set? i'm quite sure it is correct. i am just frustrated beyond belief getting this hard drive to work via the airport. thank you very much guys and gals.
    wait....update
    okay. finally, it is on the desktop, but not how it should be. superduper or the lacie backup system still doesn't recognize it as a disk. when i plug in the h.d. to the computer usb port it shows up as an orange icon on the desktop and is recognized by the software. but when i plug it in via the airport it shows up on the desktop as a different icon, like a box and isn't recognized by the software. what on earth is going on?
    this is driving me mad.

    You need to make sure that your backup software supports Bonjour(network attached) devices. I use the mac backup program and it recognizes AEBSn disk devices.
    Can you copy a file manually from finder to the drive?

  • Please help!  Major and odd mini problems

    I really am begging here. Traditionally a pc/windows girl (out of sheer ignorance only) I bought my mini in November 05. Have had problems with it since day one but assumed they were of my own creation due to pc/mac switch. Over time, the problems that were on my end have largely disappeared while others worsened. Because the remainder are inconsistent, I have been unable to get proper diagnosis from repair people as 1) unit usually doesn't act up in their presence, and 2) obvious issues seem to have been ruled out. I am pretty much at my wits end and about to throw in the perverbial towel. After reading through some of the excellent suggestions you brilliant folks have graciously given others before me, I thought i'd run this past you...
    mini is set up to access cable internet wirelessly through airport extreme. Mini is in bedroom about 15 feet from airport. Airport is in livingroom with remainder of media setup. Mini sits flat onmy hardtop desk with nothing on top of it.
    Original and main issues surrounded the monitor ( 14" Flatscreen ProView 468) intermittently cutting off for a few seconds/ minutes and cutting back on, programs not seeming to operate the way they should, trouble opening files and programs, etc. and most importantly, a consistently slow internet connection taht often simply dropped out altogether for brief and also extended periods.
    I thought the internet connectivity issue was the cable company's fault but have recently borrowed friends powerbook and it experiences no issues at all.
    As well, have replaced cable modem, ethernet cable etc to no avail. Signal strength according to cable co. is top notch. A friend recently gave me a new larger monitor (17" flat screen hp pavilion f1703) and once connected I noticed that most of my system issues seemed to disappear. The monitor stopped shutting off, the internet connection was consistent and oh-so-fast, and programs were responsive and functional. I googled a bit to discover that some folks have had monitor incompatibility problems with the mini. I began to feel I was amidst a breakthrough- until about a week later I lost internet capabilities altogether. Ruled out it being a cable company or airport extreme issue as the aforementioned powerbook was able to access network and go online as normal.
    When the internet connection is unavailable, the diagnostics would show connection to the airport and that I was online via the airport - yet indicated a server failure. I moved the mini into the same room with the airport to rule out interference and signal issues and still no internet. A mac tech came to my house and of course, the moment he turned on the unit, it coonected to the net just fine. When he left, it went back to it's previous behavior except that the connection was intermittent as opposed to always gone.. While here, he checked to make sure I didn't need to do certain cleanup tasks, etc. and noted I have plenty of power and memory available. He suggested I order Norton Utilities for Mac a d see if running it from disk would help.
    I googled again to learn that Norton Utilities might not be necessary and also might not be good for this os. Problems persisted and even went so far as system not recognizing airport at all, out of range indicators, etc. So, after further reading I decided to change my network settings from open to WPA-personal as some suggested this could cause probs for mini and also reset pmu. immediately, my internet connection returned, airport network fully recognized and has been consistent for the last 24 + hours. Big cautious sigh of relief except now as i write this, the monitor has begun it's intermittent turn-off again and my airport status indicator shows no signal. UGGGHHHH!!!!
    IF this is a hardware issue, will the hardware test disk always indicate such? I will run tonight. Any other thoughts or suggestions that don't involve a 20 story building? Thanks in advance...

    Thanks again. I did archive and install today. Haven't used the mini enough since to know whether problem is resolved. A friend suggested I reformat the drive after making sure all is backed up. I assume this is the same as erase and install? In the interest of being thorough and eliminating possibilities I thought I'd do that before taking to apple repair. Problem is they didn't find anything before. I can't tell u guys how much I appreciate the responses!

  • Help! Airport problems

    Hi all!
    this weekend my AirPort started having problems. The AirPort icon suddenly showed that the AirPort status was off and, obviously, internet connectivity went down. Following is a list of troubleshooting steps I already took but without any success:
    went to Network Settings and hit the button 'Turn AirPort On' -> nothing happens.
    restarted Mac -> working fine initially but issue was back after a while
    hard-reset of the TimeCapsule -> problems persisted
    downgrade of the firmware of the TC from 7.4.2 to 7.3.2 -> problems persisted
    powered-on a PC laptop -> no problems with the PC, wireless always available.
    connected through a Linksys wireless router -> same issue
    reset of the MAC's PRAM and NVRAM -> issue persists
    I have no idea what else to try. Any suggestions are very welcomed!
    I've been doing all software upgrades and, recently, there was a major one. However, no upgrades were performed this weekend and no issues were found right after the last upgrade...
    My warranty expires on the 19th July so if I have to replace the Airport I would like to do it before then...=)
    Can you please help me?
    Thanks in advance
    Eduardo

    Before you take it in quickly boot into Safe Mode and then boot back into your regular account to see if that helps. If it doesn't take the Mac quickly to an Apple repair center before the warranty goes out.

  • Verizon DSL and Airport Extreme Setup Problem

    I have Verizon DSL (not FIOS). I am using a Westell modem, model number B90-210015-04.
    I try to go through the setup but the Airport Extreme Utility says it cannot find a valid IP address (the light keeps flashing).
    I have it setup in bridge mode since I think my modem is also a router. However, there are a lot of other inputs in the setup and I don't know if I need to put in anything for those (e.g. DNS Servers, Domain Name, etc.). I called Verizon and they said there shouldn't be any special inputs. They implied it should just work out of the box.
    The modem is working with my existing Netgear router (model number WGR614 v4).
    Any help?

    Had the same problem. Had the same setup as yours.
    If you use WPA/WPA2 and if your password is too short (less than or equal to 8 characters), the AirPort Extreme Utility will misleadingly tell you it cannot find a valid IP address. As it turns out, WPA/WPA2 requires a longer password (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wpa2). I don't understand why a weak password would result in a confusing error message like this, but after I used a stronger and longer password, the dreadful amber light finally turned green!
    PS: I didn't enter any DNS/DHCP info nor my DSL account/password info throughout the entire setup process. I figured that if I didn't need these pieces of information with the old router before then I shouldn't need them with this new hardware.
