  • How can I get Automator to create a workflow for combining .jpgs into pdf?

    I have a large folder with many subfolders, and each subfolder has many subfolders. Those last mentioned subfolders have many .jpgs inside which I want to make them into a pdf. The question is, how can I get automator to do this for me? I tried using the help but it only made things even more confusing, it didn't help at all. I also have an app for creating pdfs out of combining pngs, jpgs, gifs, etc. (Combine PDF).
    The task of making hundreds of pdfs out of so many jpgs that I have, is there somehow a way I can get automator to do this for me? So far I haven't even found an example with understandable screenshots so that I can get into the correct way of making a workflow do what it is supposed to do correctly.
    Please help...

    Thank you for your reply, the workflow is opened fine, however I'm not sure how to then get this scripted workflow to do what I want to do? I'm a complete n00b when it comes to Automator, is there perhaps a tutorial for idiots that is known where I could read about starting out with Automator to understand it better?
    Thank you

  • How can I get a module created in Captivate 4 to start on slide 2 when launched?

    How can I get a module created in Captivate 4 to start on slide 2 when launched?

    Hello
    Wanted to ask why do you have that first slide then? Just tried this:
    create and Advanced action with one statement: Jump to slide 2
    attach this action to the even Enter slide for the first slide
    You may see very quickly that first slide when playing. To avoid that (but it depends on the content of that first slide) you could  cover up the beginning of that slide for a very short time with a white rectangle.

    Attempted to create a slideshow (version 9.3) and get the dreaded spinning ball that will not go away; iphoto locked up when open.  how do I get rid of the ball.  Have forced quit seveal times and opens with the spinning ball.

    Make a temporary, backup copy if you don't have a backup copy of the library (select the library and type Command+D) and  apply the two fixes below in order as needed:
    Fix #1
    Launch iPhoto with the Command+Option keys held down and rebuild the library.
    Since only one option can be run at a time start with Option #1, followed by #3 and then #4
    Launch iPhoto and try again.
    Fix #2
    Using iPhoto Library Manager  to Rebuild Your iPhoto Library
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and launch.
    Click on the Add Library button, navigate to your Home/Pictures folder and select your iPhoto Library folder.
    Now that the library is listed in the left hand pane of iPLM, click on your library and go to the File ➙ Rebuild Library menu option
    In the next  window name the new library and select the location you want it to be placed.
    Click on the Create button.
    Note: This creates a new library based on the LIbraryData.xml file in the library and will recover Events, Albums, keywords, titles and comments but not books, calendars or slideshows. The original library will be left untouched for further attempts at fixing the problem or in case the rebuilt library is not satisfactory.

  • How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?

    How can I get the old view of iCal back on my MacBook Pro and iPhone?  The Mavrick version is crisp and clean but a colored dot is not the same as a highlighted word. I rely on my iCal on my MacBook Pro and iPhone 5 to help me track which of the 8 sites I visit for my job during the week - the color coding is (was key) to organizing and tracking meetings.  I hate the upgrade! 

    If purchased through the Mac App Store then it can be installed on up to five authorized CPUs. Otherwise, it's controlled by the license that came with the software.
    To install on another computer copy the downloaded installer application to the other computer.

    You need to install a newer Mac OS X version to get a newer version of iCal. If you're using a PowerPC Mac, you can't upgrade the OS or iCal further.

  • How do I get  appointments to overlay in iCal?

    How do I get  appointments to overlay in iCal?

    Jane,
    What calendars do you have listed when you click on the "Calendars" button?

  • In mail "create new ical event" has stopped appearing in ical

    Please help! I love clicking on data in email to bring up the "Create New iCal Event" box, and using it to put new events into my ical calendar. But recently when I "Create New iCal Event" from an email, and click "add to iCal" the window closes but the event doesn't show up in iCal. I can still add events by clicking on a calendar date in iCal and typing them in, but the link between Mail and iCal seems to be broken. How can I fix it?
    Could this be related to how Firefox recently broke? Foxfire will not save bookmarks any more, either, I click on "Bookmarks," then "Bookmark this page". The window closes but the bookmark does not save. Also, the forward/backward browser arrows no longer work on Foxfire.

    Could you be more specific? What happens (or fails to happen?)

  • How do I transfer all the data (contacts, iCal events, etc.) on my iPhone to my computer?

    My hard drive crashed.  I didn't have anything backed up.  Therefore, since I have all of my iCal events, contacts, etc. on my iPhone, I have not yet synced my phone with my computer since I got the new hard drive.  Its going to delete everyone in my contacts and everything on my iCal.  Is there a way to upload all of that information onto my computer so I don't loose it all, and I can once again sync our phones up to the computer? 

    Thanks!  I talked to Apple about this on the phone.  They helped me figure out to check the sync box for contacts, iCal, and then "merge info."  All of my music and videos will not merge over to the computer unless the data is formatted by Apple.  But at least I can get my contacts and my iCal events transfered over!  Thanks Apple for helping me with this issue.

  • How do I get Automator to stop?

    Using Automator and iCal to run an inactive memory purge everyday from 7:00am to 7:00am.
    The Automator script consists of simply "purge" followed by a return.
    Problem: the script keeps running, e.g. the "cog" at the top of the screen rotates continually.
    I just want the purge function -- which appears to work fine -- to run and then stop until it's activated again by Automator 24 hours later.
    Suggestions?
    Thanks.

    Figured it out myself. Go to Automator and select a shell script. Shell Script should be /bin/bash.
    Type this in to run purge and then afterwards shut down automator:
    purge
    osascript -e 'tell application "Automator" to quit'
    Save this as an app. I named mine PurgeAuto.
    Next, pull up your calendar and create a new event. Then right-click and click on Get Info.
    Click off "All day".
    Set the date and time to when you want to run the purge. Set both "From" and "To" to the same time and date.
    Set repeat to "Everyday".
    Set "Alert" to "Open File" and choose your purge app's name.
    Set to open "0 minutes before".
    That's it. Your machine will now purge inactive memory every day.
    By the way, this is the third or fourth time I've posted a problem on this forum and gotten zero responses. When I figured out how to do this I could have simply forgotten about this post and moved on. I responded so anybody else who has this problem will have a solution. These forums are useless if people don't respond.

  • How can I get a playlist created on my iPad to iTunes?

    I create a playlist on the iPad... I love it... I want it on the iPhones in my household.
    How can I get that playlist into iTunes, so I can push it out to the other iOS devices?
    When I sync the iPad with iTunes, the playlist created on the iPad is wiped out.
    All devices (iPhone 4S, iPhone 4, iPad 2) are on iOS 5.0.1.
    Mac OS X Lion 10.7.2
    iTunes 10.5.1.
    Thanks

    You can't move an iMovie project file and expect it to play.
    You need to export from the machine that holds the source files to the format supported by the device.

  • How can I get Automator to run every hour

    Hello,
    I want to run a Unix Shell executable every hour (measuring network bandwidth), but automator only seems to be able to go down to once  a day. Is there anyway of getting automator to run the executable every hour?

    If you already have the shell script then skip Automator and use launchd(8)  to run the script on what ever schedule you'd like.
    There are many good tutorials and examples of using launchd  see Creating Launch Daemons and Agents - Apple Developer and Mac OS X launchd examples  for a start.
    Also see http://launched.zerowidth.com/ as one way to automate making the plist file.
