How to make script depended on specific network???

I hope that someone can help me with this. I do not yet have much experience with scripting, but I made a script which connects my macbook to a folder on my NAS. However, if my local network is not available the script will hang itself waiting until it can mount. Also limiting the repeat loop does not help since it will still hang within the loop. I was just wondering if I can start the script with a command which says that the script should only be executed if connected to a certain ip adress or Network-name. This is my script sofar:
tell application "Finder"
repeat
if not (exists folder "Backup" of desktop) then
try
mount volume "afp://user:[email protected]/Backup"
end try
end if
if (exists folder "Backup" of desktop) then exit repeat
end repeat
end tell
Thanks for any help in advance!

Thanks, that's helpful! Reason of the repeat is that the real script contains three folders to which the computer has to connect. Sometimes the computer/NAS is still busy doing something else so it needs an extra attempt before connection is made.
By the way, for those who are interested, I seem to have managed to make a script to check for the network first:
set myIP to (do shell script "system_profiler SPAirPortDataType|grep -e 'Current Wireless Network:'")
if myIP does not contain ("Current Wireless Network: xxx") or myIP contains ("turned off") then error number -128

Hi Donghai,
Have you tried using the command
CHAIN ENDCHAIN.
Try displaying the message for te field you wish to within CHAIN and ENDCHAIN which will allow you to enter the data in the field even after the error message is displayed.
Caution: Mention all the field names in CHAIN and ENDCHAIN which you want to be open for enterin the values into it.
Thanks and Regards,

Thanks.You haven't told us your database version.
You haven't shown us the details of your table structure or an example of the data, or even how many rows is a "huge volume of data".
Without proper information we would just be guessing and that doesn't help anybody.

How to make a computer invisible in network?

I was amazed that in the left-hand panel of FINDER, under the SHARED tab, there are about 6 other computers that I am seeing. I am concerned that others may be able to access my computer via my wireless connection. How can I make sure I am protected, and my computer is invisible to them?

Go to System Preferences > Sharing > uncheck everything in the left window. If you're not sharing anything you won't show up.

How to make a INTERNET ONLY wifi network for guests at a business..

hey guys/gals:
im trying to set up a public network for guests at my business. i only have one internet subscription for the building and a big server and several switches in the basement providing wired 100base-T network connections to all my computers. they are all on the same network and domain.
now i want my guests to have internet access ONLY. I don't want them to even be able to see any of my printers, computers, servers or anything! just the web. what equipment do i need and how do i set it up?
-thanks in advance

You can use the Wireless router or the Access point to provide the wireless network.However,there is no such option on these devices.
Guest user can not access your computers,printers or servers unless or until you give "Sharing" permission to them.So if enable sharing and give permission then only the Guest user can share your computers or printers.

How to make MAC print to an network printer on a non default port.....

Hello
I have a Gestetner 3235PCL printer at the office. The printer is on IP address 192.168.1.10 using Port 9101.
I can't seem to find a way to make the computer print to anything but the default port.
Any ideas if this is possible using a Mac?

Bruce is correct, but be certain you select IP > HP Jetdirect-Socket. Then enter the IP address with the port number separated by a colon " : ".
You could also use the CUPS web page to add the printer. At the Device menu, select 'Appsocket/HP Jetdirect' and then at the Device URI menu, after socket you can enter the IP address with port 9101, such as
socket://ip_address:9101/
Do you know if the printer is using a Fiery controller? I know the Fiery's offer three ports alternate to 9100 so that you can connect to a specific queue. 9100 will print to whatever has been selected as the default queue in the controller config, such as print, while 9101, 9102 and 9103 are the direct, print and hold queues respectively.

How to make a directly usable Bluetooth network location

I've configured a Bluetooth modem to use as a modem to
connect to the Internet. I've defined the secured pairing
between my Mac and my mobile.
I've defined a network location to connect through Bluetooth
with my mobile phone.
Everything is working correctly in three steps:
1. switch to the Bluetooth network location,
2. turn Bluetooth on in the menu bar,
3. select Connect in the phone drop down menu (in the menu
bar).
What is the simplest way to make all this process a one step
one:
1. switch to the Bluetooth network location ?
On the other hand, when I have to leave this connection,
everything is working correctly, except that the Bluetooth
connection stays up. Hence I have to turn Bluetooth off
in the menu bar. Otherwise there is a serious useless
but endless microwave activity, power consumption and
security problem. My Bluetooth connectivity is still up!
What is the simplest way to make the switching to another
kind of physical connection switch off the other ones?

How to make powershell script.

How to make script that copy content from notepad to other notepad and reverse the text?

If you mean a .txt file then there's three aspects to your question.
Open a file and read the text
Reverse the text
Save the text into a new file
For point one, this technet article is good:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692806.aspx
For point two you could turn the text into one or more strings, then convert those into arrays, loop through them and then re-assemble them. This article shows you most of that:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692804.aspx
And finally you need to save that text as a file, there's lots of ways but the Out-File cmdlet is the simplest.
This might also be of use:

HT203909 Why can't you provide specific instructions here about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?

Why can't you provide specific instructions here in HT203909 (Boot Camp: Creating an ISO image from a Windows installation DVD) about how to make the USB drive bootable? The article referenced for partitioning the drive is not dedicated to Bootcamp--too long, too many options. How do you make it bootable?

If your BC Assistant shows the option to create a USB Installer, it automatically is marked as bootable. There is no need to have manual intervention to make a bootable USB. Once the process is manually modified, it is supported by the person modifying it.
You have two or three options (depending on your Mac Model).
1. Create USB... - Use a USB2 flash drive, which is erased and formatted. If your Mac supports ISOs then BCA will prompt for the Media. Any Mac which does not have a built-in Optical drive will support an ISO. There are specific Mac models which support both, DVD and USB based installation.
2. Download Software from Apple servers...
3. Install Windows...
Are any additional instructions really necessary?
