I dont' get why remote control is so importand with scripts

I've got my dvd working, but i just don't get why the remote control menu so important is.
the situation i'm having is:
I've got an play all button (when it is hit it gets the value 1)
when you push the menu button on the remote, the pre-script gets rid of the value 1 and turns it in to value 0
with value 0 you can look at a track and after that it goes back to the menu, value 1 makes sure that after track 1, track 2 is being played.
But when someone is playing the 'play all' (value 1) and hits the menu button for a pauze and hits it again to play where he was. you get the value 0.
When you say in the inspector under remote control -> menu -> menu1:button1 he stays with the value 1. although you have been in de menu..
Hope someone can give me a answer.

It all depends on how you access the menu. Pre-scripts are good in lots of situations, but can be bypassed in others. If you have read the article over at
http://www.editorsbin.com/authoring/playall.html
towards the bottom I discuss several different scenarios where the play all could get interrupted and you need to think about how you will get around it. Your specific situation is one such issue, and the way around it is to use button values instead of setting values in menu prescripts. You should also try using 'free-standing' scripts - i.e. scripts that are not prescripts, but which do the same job and then send the viewer on to the appropriate menu. By pointing to these you can ensure the value is retained under differetn circumstances each time, and make sure the viewer returns safely back to the 'play all' option they were taking a break from.
None of this is particularly easy, but it is at least logical! With care you should be able to script a play all from different tracks using any number of menus. If you need a hand with those scripts, let me know.
Alternatively, have a look here at my blog where I show a different way to achieve the scripted solution.

I there, my question is quite simple, I would like to know if the "apple remote control" can be used with a mac mini and , if so, it can be used to control also the "logic pro" functions (e.g. record, start, stop etc). Thks a lot, Danilo

How do I get the remote control app to work for a Sony HDD Hi Res audio player?

Can't get the iPhone remote control app to work for my HDD Hi Res Audio player. The app can "find" the player and I can turn on the power with the app but then can't get it to go to my music - can only use the "demo" tool with the demo info. What am I doing wrong?

Good day cb94!

Download the Adobe Flash Player installer directly by right clicking the following link and selecting "Save Link as".

THAT's the Flash Player.
Shockwave Player 12
THAT's the Shockwave plugin.
BOTH should be up to date.

Remote control does not work with DVD player.

I have a HP Pavilion DV6135nr, the remote control came with the computer, its a RC6. I can not get the computer to recognize the remote control.

Have you tried if this remote works with any other HP notebook? if not, have you replaced the battery on the remote to check its not a battery issue on the remote?
Although I am an HP Employee, I am speaking for myself and not for HP.

Remote control Sony video camera with Mac Mini?

Is it possible to connect an IR transmitter to a mac mini to be able to control a Sony camera from a remote location miles away? Specificaly, I want to be able to point my Sony IR remote control at my Mac Book Pro at home to control a video camera at work via the internet. Control features include focus, zoom, iris, White balance, etc. Is this possible? (The Sony camera comes with a remote control)

I never heard of such a device but there's a bunch of stuff in Google:
"Results 1 - 10 of about 611,000 for "long distance remote control."
Your best bet would probably be a telephone, with the person at the other end in the same room as the camera.

My remote control is NOT working with my ibook

my front row won't launch! not even with apple button+esc (escape) button.
or with the remote control.
What do i do?

I think you've posted in the wrong forum. As S.U. mentioned, neither Front Row nor an Apple remote come with an iBook computer. Do you have a "MacBook" instead? There is also a whole forum for Front Row here:
http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=1164&start=0
You might post in there if you can't open Front Row with the Apple-esc key combination and you've changed the battery in the remote.

My remote Control doesn't work with my new imac

I have a brand new iMac 27" with mountain lion, and Doesn't work with my aluminium remote control, I already follow the steps on Help, but there's no IR option on the advanced button of security and privacy. Of course I already check with my iphone dock and the batteries are OK, So I think it's a bug from the OS.
Any thougths?

Thanks mende1.
Apple that, *****!!

Is imovie not for free i dont get why you need to buy it??

I really want this app and i dont like to spend money on apps can you just let it be free??

You get the app for free if you have purchased a new device since September. Purchase a device, activate it, then use the same ID you used to activate it to download the app and it's free.
For the rest of the world, it's not free.

Yea my iphone charger broke again and this is about the 7th timeits happened and im getting tired of wasting my money on new chargers... I dont rip the charger out, i take good care of it. I dont get why it keeps breaking?

This is about the 5th time its broken and i take really good care of the charger. Im tired of getting new chargers, does someone have any ideas on how to fix it or how to not spend $30 on a new charger? HELP PLEASE!!!

Can I control an image position with Scripting?

hello --
i find myself doing a lot of repetitive tasks in keynote, such as creating dozens of slides with an image in a specific position (x-y position). is there a way to automate this using applescript or automator?
so far, i am able to create the empty slides with the images in a specified folder, but they always just get centered. it's a good start, but the next time suck is to position them by hand.
any ideas?
thanks in advance.

Hello,
It's not possible without the help of the GUI Scripting.
This implies that you should not use the mouse or the keyboard during the execution of the script, but it's better than doing it manually on several images.
You must enable the GUI Scripting by clicking the checkbox labeled "Enable access for assistive devices" in the Universal Access System Preference pane.
Here is the script : this script create a slide of each image (your selection in the Choose file dialog), and it set the position of the image in each added slide to (40, 60)
---------------------Beginning ot the Script
set tFiles to choose file of type "public.image" with multiple selections allowed
tell application "Keynote"
    activate
    tell front slideshow
        set nSlides to count slides
        make image slides paths tFiles without set titles
        set nSlides2 to count slides
        set firstTime to true
        if nSlides2 > nSlides then repeat with i from (nSlides + 1) to nSlides2
            show slide i
            my setImageposition(40, 60, firstTime) -- set image position to (40, 60)
            set firstTime to false
        end repeat
    end tell
    display dialog "Done"
end tell
on setImageposition(posX, posY, firstTime)
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "Keynote"
            if firstTime then (* initialization so that the script works correctly.
                   Show the Inspector window, click on "Metrics" tab.
                   Set the View to "Slide Only" *)
                set frontmost to true
                delay 0.3
                click menu item "Slide Only" of menu "View" of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
                set inspectorWindow to missing value
                set tWindows to windows whose subrole is "AXFloatingWindow"
                repeat with i in tWindows
                    if exists radio group 1 of i then
                        set inspectorWindow to i
                        exit repeat
                    end if
                end repeat
                if inspectorWindow is missing value then
                    keystroke "i" using {option down, command down} -- Show Inspector
                    delay 0.2
                end if
                tell window 1 to if name is not "Metrics" then -- size and position
                    click radio button 6 of radio group 1 -- the "Metrics" tab
                    delay 0.2
                end if
            end if -- end initialization
            keystroke "a" using command down -- select image
            perform action "AXRaise" of window 1 -- set the focus to the Inspector window
            delay 0.1
            tell group 1 of window 1
                set focused of text field "X" to true -- left position
                delay 0.1
                keystroke ("" & posX & tab & posY & tab) -- set image position,
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
end setImageposition
--------------------- End Script
Important : You must localize the titles (depending on the language used in your system) in these two lines:
click menu item "Slide Only" of menu "View" of menu bar item "View" of menu bar 1
tell window 1 to if name is not "Metrics" then -- size and position

Memory and Remote Control Troubles Encore CS4

Hi again After a week I have not seen any solution (or cause to my problem and hope perhaps someone will have some tips for me. So I copy my last new post and keep my fingers crossed! ( I think I read somewhere this is the way to go about - reposting)
I just finished reading threads re memory problem with encore. Some from 2008! I'm using files I have created in PPcs4 with AVCHD clips exported as media to give me .avi files that I use to make a dvd in Encore. Usually it goes all well only for one thing my remote control end product does not work as it should at all, yes I still can play back the whole DVD and even go from one chapter to the next but not really choose and not with the menu on screen.
So that is where the next trouble arises as I try to get the remote control in the pannel preview to work. After only a few changes in the button routing trying the preview will get me the insufficient memory warning. It does not really crash, the preview may freeze but I can terminate it and try again. But from then on it's "go slow" to no where I read Bill H's entry about page filing and tried a few things I have 8gb ram so used one of my TB and allocated this x3 in virtual memory. I don't really understand what I'm doing, just tried to follow some instructions. but this did not make any difference at all. I also have asked my system (W7 4gb ram i5 intel and plenty of HD realestate) to optimise for best performance. So my Desktop is now looking a little pale! Still to no joy.
My other trouble which seems related is this darn remote control. I can't get it working I used it in pp2 suite I can't quite remember how it was but it worked. Here in CS 4 all I can see is a slight highlight when I hover over it but it does not seem to respond. I've been to so many searches but none seem to respond to "enable preview remote control" or anything around this meaning. So as long as I can't use it in the pgr as long it will not be correct on my dvd!
I have not used Mpg and can see my Audio timeline the same length as my Video
I just imported such a file in a new project chose a preset menu (Before I used a blank menu and created buttons on a jpeg), made 3 chapters linked correctly (my Build /check did not return any error) but still unable to use the remote control, It's ok with the mouse till I try a little more and I get a memory problem.
PS I always had a memory problem but not related to computers! I feel a little embarrassed that I have not been able to solve this after so much time spent on it and hope some one may have an answer. Thank you
I have not been through defrag and turning everything else off as I worked in PP with nil such problem and thought I gave PP a harder job with my hd clips, titles, added audio. Perhaps I'm quite wrong.
I also remember reading about someone who's remote control would work ok on 4:3 ratio but not on wide, so I tried both to no avail in my case.
Ok I'll go quiet
PS: I also added that i did go through defrag and found it was not needed. as I suspected I had lots of room. (i5 8gb ram, 2X1tb hd external 1/2 tb )
I'm aware and do appreciate that people who give help on forum are doing it on a voluntary basis using their own time and am very thankful for it.

Thank you Stan. It's not going too well, first I tried to capture the screen (I have 2 monitors) and it gave me a lot of trouble unlike yesterday, (it kept capturing the wrong screen although Encore was the one activated) and I ended with a black and white screen?
Then my memory error became worse. I turned the internet off and lots of processes with no improvement. Anyway here is what I got about routing.I wonder why it's a gif image I saved it for the web. Actually these buttons weren't routed anymore and had a zero on most branches (arrows) - Hmm I can see "Sunpeak" with such zeros here! I don't know what happened but even "play All" was routed to "Banff" at the bottom right that is 1 to 2. before I took the screen shot. I might have to try with a conventional lay out menu button. This is difficult with all my memory crashes. I looked at quite a few threads to optimise but many relate more to AE that has a memory setting in Preferences. (actually, as a trial, I even allocated 5 gb ram for other application from AE that I don't even use, but to no avail)
I definitely routed each button 1to 8 but here it's not anymore the way it was! And I'm sure I save it after doing so.
I'll give it another go but not sure when.

I dont' get why remote control is so importand with scripts
