How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alerts for when a friend becomes unavailable?

How do I change the script for a voice iChat Alert for when a friend becomes unavailable?
Before I upgraded my system from Mac OS 10.4.11 to Mac OS 10.6.8 - I a had personalized the script for a voice iChat Alert when my husband logged off from work. I had the ichat voice warn me "OH, Crap! he's coming home now! Hurry clean house!" This personalized voice alert did not survive the upgrade. Now, I need step by step instructions to walk me through the process. Please help! I mis my machine shouting funny profane alerts.

Hi,
In iChat 3 (OS 10.4.x) there was  Line at the Bottom of iChat > Preferences > Alerts that you could enter text to and it would speak that Text.
(you could set something against Individual Buddies as well).
This Setting is not there in iChat 4 or 5  (I presume iChat 6 as well).
Now it is possible to write AppleScripts that can Speak.
It is alos possible in iChat 4 upwards to link an AppleScript to an Action/Alert
At this point my lack of AppleScript knowledge lets me down on what to tell you to do next.
An Alternative would be to Record a sound with said alert.
Place this sound in your Home Folder/Library/Sounds
Then in the Alert opton for youe husband select the Log off option and link that Sound

  • How do I change the phone number that ipad is using for iMessage and FaceTime

    Since the latest iOS update my ipad uses my husbands phone number for iMessage and FaceTime. How do I change the phone number to match my iPhone?

    Sign out of FT and iMessage on both your iPad and your iPhone. Sign back in on the iPhone. Wait for everything to activate. Then, sign back in on the iPad using the same Apple ID.

  • HT1689 How do I change the frequency in which I enter my password when purchasing/downloading from iTunes?

    I changed the settings and now I cannot figure out how to change them to the default setting. How do you change the frequency in which you enter your password in iTunes?

    I don't use restrictions but check ..... Settings>General>Restrictions>Allowed Content>Require Password.

  • How do i change the Nat type 3 to type 2 for my Ps3 on Airport Extreme?

    I have search the internet trying to find ways to do this but nothing has helped. Some people tell me to airport utility and then to internet and then to NAT. But, no NAT tab shows up for me. I'm trying to change it from NAT 3 to 2 so it can work better with my PS3. Thank you.

    Is your AirPort Extreme the only router in your current network configuration? That is, is it connected directly to an Internet broadband modem and not another router? If so, the following is how you would configure the Extreme for Port Mapping:
    1. Reserve a DHCP-provided IP address for the PS3.
    Internet > DHCP tab
    On the DHCP tab, click the "+" (Add) button to enter DHCP Reservations.
    Description: <enter the desired description of the host device>
    Reserve address by: MAC Address
    Click Continue.
    MAC Address: <enter the MAC hardware address of the PS3>
    IPv4 Address: <enter the desired IP address>
    Click Done.
    2. Setup Port Mapping on the AXn.
    Advanced > Port Mapping tab
    Click the "+" (Add) button
    Service: <choose the appropriate service from the Service pop-up menu>
    Public UDP Port(s): <enter the appropriate UDP port values>
    Public TCP Port(s): <enter the appropriate TCP port values>
    Private IP Address: <enter the IP address of the PS3>
    Private UDP Port(s): <enter the same as Public UDP Ports or your choice>
    Private TCP Port(s): <enter the same as Public TCP Ports or your choice>
    Click "Continue"

  • How do I change the email adress that has been set for when I forget my security questions?

    I have forgotten my security questions, and the email adress that is set for when this happens, is wrong. So how can I change it??

    You won't be able to change your rescue email address until you can answer your questions, you will need to contact iTunes Support / Apple in your country to get the questions reset.
    Contacting Apple about account security : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5699
    When they've been reset you can then use the steps half-way down this page to update your rescue email address for potential future use : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5312

  • How do I change the text of a specific MESSAGE field for a specific Alert

    I want to change the text for the "Message" field (10.2.0.5 OEMGC) for the "Blocking Session Count" alert that shows up in Notifications.
    Does anyone know where the text is stored? I do not find it in Preferences>Rules in the Console nor in any obvious views or tables in the OMS.

    What is the Agent version monitoring the Database for which this alert is raised?
    You need to apply the fix for Bug : 9110313 to the Agent on the database machine.
    Refer to Note 9110313.8: Bug 9110313 - Metric clear alerts reported when warning and critical threshold are crossed

  • How do I change the name of a photo in Photos for OS X?

    In Aperture and iPhoto there was a simple batch change function, which even allowed me to change the name of the original file, and add an index number to the end of the name if I wanted to use the same name for multiple images. I can't find the equivalent in Photos. Is it possible in a simple and easy fashion?

    Right click it, go to Properties and then change it there.

  • How do I change the 5 ghz channel on new Airport Express when extended from Time Capsule?

    Hi there. My Airplay device connected to the new Aiport Express keeps cutting out.
    The 5ghz connection on my Time Capsule is set to channel 48. I have a new Airport Express (with Airplay device) extending from the Time Capsule and when I use WiFi Scanner, it shows the Airport Express set to channel 157. What gives? Is there a way to change to channel 48 or does this not matter? I imagine since they're on different channels, they're not talking to each other or am I .
    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I've managed to change the 5gHz of ther Airport Express that's extending the network.
    As mentioned, main AE is on channel 48, and I now have the 2nd AE on channel 36 - which means my TV can now see the network. Also tested speed via my mavbook air on the same 5gHz network as it all seems OK (A while ago I spotted my Time Capsule was on the same channel 48 as main AE and throughput was abysmal! Bad enough to make me reset the TC to factory defaults and setup again - which is when the TC got channel 120).
    Anyway, the fix... I changed the 2nd AE to create a wireless network (instead of extend), and manually set the channel to 36. I then set it back to extend, and it seems to have kept channel 36.

  • How do I change the "Open with Windows Wordpad Application (default)" for a DOCX file to I guess, Microsoft Word?

    I think the "Wordpad Application (default) got entered some time ago while trying to open a DOCX file. I now have a compatibility pack downloaded for Word, Excel, and PowerPoint Formats for my Office 2003 and I think I could open a DOCX file now but can't get this Wordpad application removed and changed to another application to open it, which I think would probably be Word or if someone has another suggestion.

    I can't get "Use Microsoft Word (default)" to appear as an Action option. Only Windows WordPad application, Media Center, Internet Explorer, iTunes, Media Player Classic, Nero, Windows Photo, Picasa, Windows Calendar and wWindow Media Player appear as choices. I don't know how to add Microsoft Word as a choice. Maybe the second part of the instructions in your reply "Adding download actions" would solve this but I don't understand the instruction starting with #1. I don't know how to go about doing what it says to do.
    I don't think it makes any difference, but I do have Office XP instead of 03 as I stated in my first question.

  • How can I change the default save folder in MP Navigator for saved scans?

    I am using MP Naqvigator with my Canon MP600 multifunction device and saving to an external drive is clunky because each time I save a document I have to browse to the device and the destination folder. I have tried to find a way of setting the default save folder from /users/myname/pictures/mpnavigator to volumes/drivename/foldername so that it speeds up the process. I've looked at all of the preferences files for the MP600 in the application and support libraries but can't see any reference to that default path. I'd be very grateful for any solutions from other Canon users.

    It should still work the same way. I changed mine in either Snow Leopard or Lion and it remains the way i Changed it in Mountain Lion.
    bob[07:25]~>defaults read com.apple.screencapture location
    /Users/bob/Documents/ScreenCaptures/
    to change it I had entered:
    defaults write com.apple.screencapture location /Users/bob/Documents/ScreenCaptures/

  • How can i change the tab bar from opening a new tab when single clicked to open one only when double clicked?

    Out of habbit, i double click the tab bar and it opens 1 tab. however in the new beta, it opens 2.
    Is there anyway to change this so single clicks dont open new tabs on the tab bar?

    I don't have multiple tab bars and haven't installed anything to try and get them.
    I re-read what I wrote earlier and realised it's not worded clearly when I said: If I have more than a single tab bar of tabs open
    I meant: When I have so many tabs open that they won't all fit into the tab bar at once
