I need help with AppleScript for changing the font on numerous PowerCADD files

I am currently trying to write an AppleScript, but I really have no idea how one is written. I have looked up many tutorials, but to no avail.
What I'm trying to so is write a script that will take all my selected PowerCADD files, open them, change the font to Helvetica, then save the file. I have over a thousand files to do this to. So, you can see my need of an AppleScript to get this task completed.
If anyone out there knows how I would write this script, please submit it here.
Thank you so much for your time and help.

If anyone could help, that would be awesome =)

Need help with LikeFilter for querying the keyset instead of value

Hi,
I'm looking for help with the LikeFilter.
I need to query the cache to get all entries with key starting with a particular string.
I could see samples using LikeFilter for querying the values in the cache but not the keyset.
Can someone help?
E.g:
Cache Entries:
abc123 - value1
abc234 - value2
bcd123 - value3
I want to get all entries with key starting with 'abc'.
thanks,
rama.

NJ, thanks for the quick reply.
I tried something similar (as below) but this code gives me 'java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: com/tangosol/util/ValueExtractor'.
KeyExtractor extractor = new KeyExtractor("getKey");
Filter filter = new LikeFilter(extractor, id+":%",'-',false);

Need Help with scripting for Automator/AppleScript.

Hi everybody,
I am building a small app for my mac, What I need is a script that can rename a file that I drop on it.
and example being:
example.jpg
(when I drop it on the app, I want the app to change the filename of the document to "Image.jpg"
I have tried this with Automator, but it requires that I specify the file to be changed, what I need is something that will change the name of any file I drag onto it.
I am using it for application specific files.
Kind regards,
Pete.
iBook G4; 60GB Hard Drive, 512MB RAM, Airport Extreme

Open the Script Editor in the
/Applications/AppleScript/ folder and enter the
following:
on open(the_file)
tell application "Finder"
set name of the_file to "Image"
end tell
end open
Save this script as an application.
(11347)
this script compiled correctly; however when run it returned the following error "Can't set name of (the_file) to "Image.jpg"
I am also given the option of editing the script or just quitting.
thanks for your help

HOW DO YOU GUYS DEAL WITH APPLE.. SO CONFUSING...NEED HELP WITH SPECS FOR PURCHASE OF IMAC 21.5

Hi guys, been reading your forums, blogposts, etc and am getting more confused. I'm just a video girl trying to produce meaningful content through web videos for small to mid sized businesses and want to come over from the dark side.
Good news,, I dont need a super giant system, I do simple editing for web videos, minimal graphics, no motion graphics, no animation etc. currently using CS4, will probably end up with 5.5.
I want to get imac 21.5 or 27 if i have to.. So here's the question we all have,,, what do I really need besides an Apple fairy godmother to figure this crazy stuff out?????
I want to be able to have firewire add on, but the rest is what I need help with. So i've been looking at cs6 specs, even though im not there yet, eventually will be,, so just need to run cs4 now and build from there. I also want to eventually move to final cut down the road so I want imac able to upgrade to final cut.
WHAT DO I REALLY NEED MINIMALLY FOR NOW? WHAT CAN I GET LATER IF i CHOOSE TO DO MORE AND NEED MORE POWER?
cs6:
Multicore Intel processor with 64-bit support
Mac OS X v10.6.8, v10.7, or v10.8**
4GB of RAM (8GB recommended)
4GB of available hard-disk space for installation; additional free space required during installation (cannot install on a volume that uses a case-sensitive file system or on removable flash storage devices)
Additional disk space required for preview files and other working files (10GB recommended)
1280x900 display
7200 RPM hard drive (multiple fast disk drives, preferably RAID 0 configured, recommended)
OpenGL 2.0–capable system
DVD-ROM drive compatible with dual-layer DVDs (SuperDrive for burning DVDs; Blu-ray burner for creating Blu-ray Disc media)
QuickTime 7.6.6 software required for QuickTime features
Optional: Adobe-certified GPU card for GPU-accelerated performance
Any responses would be great. I know you guys are busy answering the really high end tech questions

All the current iMac models (both 21.5" and 27" with OS X Mt. Lion 10.8) will run CS4, 5.5 and 6 just fine. They will also run Final Cut Pro X just fine. Ditto for most any application you may want to use.
Below are some notes (specific to your apparent requirements) that may help you with your purchase decision:
Notes on purchasing a 21.5" iMac
All 21.5" iMacs come with 8GB RAM but you cannot add more later. I strongly suggest getting the maximum RAM (16GB) when you order the iMac.
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 5400rpm drive. It will work fine with Adobe CS but you will probably want the added speed of the optional 1TB Fusion drive for better performance. Some people will recommend/argue for one of the optional SSD drives instead, but they are very expensive and still only come in relatively small capacities - I don't recommend the SSD drives. Get the Fusion drive and spend any extra money on a good external hard drive for backup and/or extra storage instead of an SSD.
Notes on purchasing a 27" iMac
All 27" iMacs come with 8GB RAM and you can add more later, up to 32GB
The basic hard drive is a 1TB 7200rpm drive - it will be fine with Adobe CS. There are upgrade options to a 3TB 7200rpm drive or a 1TB or 3TB fusion drive - these will be fine also. There are also SSD drive options, but I do not recommend them. (Same comments as above.)
Notes on all the current iMacs
iMacs no longer come with built-in CD/DVD drives. If you need one, you will need to purchase the Apple Superdrive accessory drive ($79)
All of the iMac graphic processors (GPU's) are compatible with Adobe CS 4, 5.5, 6
It is very difficult to impossible to change or upgrade the hard drive later on, so don't buy low-end thinking you can add a better internal hard drive later.
Be aware that Macs always come with the latest (most recent) version of OS X. And OS X Mavericks (10.9) is due to be released soon (in the next month or two). There is no guarantee that the older Adobe CS 4 or 5.5 versions will run on OS X Mavericks. If you cannot upgrade to CS 6 in the near future, you may want to purchase now rather than after OS X Mavericks is released.
For what it's worth, I'd recommend the 27" iMac if your budget can afford it. You will appreciate the larger screen size and added capabilities over the years you will use the computer.

Need help with coding for HTML5 Video with Flash fallback

Hello, need help with my coding in Dreamweaver CS5.5 for HTML5 video with Flash fallback. Not sure if the coding is correct. Do I need anything else Javascipt etc?

The reason you see a blank page is because it's trying to load the file that is pretty humungous and there is no preloader. So, you see a white screen till it complets loading.
Also, the reason why its loading a SWF file and not any of HTML5 type video is because your doctype declaration is XHTML1.0 and not HTML5.
Change the 1st line in your .html file from:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
to:
<!DOCTYPE html>
Then see if your HTML5 video types load with <video> tag.

Need Help With Download For Airport Express

Ok, computer dummy here needing help with airport express. We were given airport express last night from a friend who recently purchased a newer gadget. He told us we would need to come here to download the operating system. I see lots of links to updates but no links for someone like me who has never had anything like this on my computer before. Does anyone know what link I would need to use? We have a pc with windows XP. Thanks so much for your help!

Hello jesschambers. Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
The AirPort Express Base Station (AX) doesn't have an "operating system" per se, but it does have built-in firmware which pretty much is the same thing. In addition, in order to administer the AX, you will need the AirPort Admin Utility for your Windows PC.
Here are the links for the latest versions of both:
o AirPort Express Firmware Update 6.3 for Windows
o AirPort 4.2 for Windows

Need help with pagination for book

I am working on a book and need help with the pagination. I was able to make the TOC and front matter show the numbers as Roman numerals, and the body of the text as Arabic numerals, but I can't figure out how to restart the numbering sequence for the body of the text. So the front matter is numbered i-xvi, and the text is 17-681. I need the text to start with the number 1. Each subsequent chapter is a section break as well, if that makes a difference.
Many thanks,
J

Need help with BAPI_PR_CREATE for BOM and Service

Hi all,
My requirement is to do a mass conversion program for PR creation, so I'm planning to use either BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE or BAPI_PR_CREATE.
The difficult part is that, I need to be able to change the compononent (BOM) for subcontracting and also be able to input service lines for service type PR.
I know that for service I can use BAPI_REQUISITION_CREATE, it has a specific structure for that, but does BAPI_PR_CREATE provide the same functionality as well?
As for altering component (BOM) , I couldn't find any parameter in both function to do the work.
Does anyone have this requirement before and can advice me about this. Thanks in advance.

My problem is solved.
I was be able to convince the user to use standard BOM insteand of customizing them in PR. As for service, I use BAPI PR_REQUISITION_CREATE

Need help with applescript and Xcode 4.3.2

I'm trying to write my first application that will involve a GUI. I can code applescript using script editor with a bit of effort, but I'm want to have users input more than one piece of information in the pop up. So, I download xcode, create my first applescript cocoa project go to MainMenu.xib and add a bunch of labels, text fields and buttons. Looks fairly nice... Go to start it and... nothing (well the window pops up, but it doesn't do anything). Unfortunately, I haven't figured out how to link the window to the applescript... So, how do I...
* Have the applescript prepopulate data in the text fields and pulldowns
* Once the user changes the data in the fields tell the applescript
* Tell the window to close and pass the control back to the applescript once either the cancel or submit button is pressed.
More detailed...
* What's an outlet and how do I use it here? Which of the 18 outlet(s) do i use for this?
* What's a property (referenced on one of the web pages I saw around applescript and cocoa) and do I need them here?
Looking at the documentation with xcode, there isn't a lot about xcode and applescipt. Looking at the web, the top links are a few years old. So, links to good relevent documentation would be very nice as well as direct answers to the questions
Thanks,
Scott

I'm not sure why you are closing it, but the NSApplication class is what keeps track of the windows. If you don't want to connect the window to an outlet from the interface editor, you can use something like
set theWindow to current application's NSApplication's sharedApplication's mainWindow()
...and from there you can use whatever NSWindow methods, for example
theWindow's performClose_(me)

I need help with this tutorial from the Adobe website

I'm almost done with my flash game which I created with flash pro cc. And i have been looking for tutorials to integrate my game to the Facebook and this is the only one I found. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/games/articles/getting-started-with-facebooksdk-actionscript3. html
Am I on the right track?? The editor uses Flash Builder but I'm using Flash Pro cc.
--- On Step 2: "Set up a development server for the Flash app",
Sub-step #2. "To simplify the development process, configure Flash Builder to compile into your htdocs/fbdemo folder and run (or debug) the app on your server (see Figure 2)."
1) But I can't find "ActionScript Build Path"(which is highlighted on the Figure 2 screenshot) or anything like that in Flash pro. Same for the "Output folder URL".
Can I actually do the same things with Flash Pro cc?? Also #3 is "Verify that your app runs from your server." How do you run your app from your server??
---- On Step 4: "Initialize the Facebook JS SDK",
2) so if I setup a server on a localhost just like the tutorial, I don't need to change the following? This is on line #6.
channelUrl : 'www.YOUR_DOMAIN.COM/channel.html'
can i just leave it like that ?
3) So if I complete the tutorial, can facebook users play my game? or do i have more things to do?
4) is there any other tutorial for Flash Pro CC to Facebook integration???
Thank you so much for your help and time.

this is an excerpt from http://www.amazon.com/Flash-Game-Development-Social-Mobile/dp/1435460200/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF 8&qid=1388031189&sr=8-1&keywords=gladstien
The simplest way to hook into Facebook is to add their Plugins to add a Like button, Send button, Login button etc to your game. If you only want to add a Like button to a page on your website, you can use the following iframe tag anywhere (between the body tags) in your html document where you want the Facebook Like button to appear:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=yoursite.com/subdirectory/page.html" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:500px; height:25px"></iframe>
Where the href attribute is equal to the absolute URL to your html file. For example:
<iframe src="http://www.facebook.com/plugins/like.php?href=kglad.com/Files/fb/" scrolling="no" frameborder="0" style="border:none; width:500px; height:25px"></iframe>
points to index.html in kglad/com/Files/fb.
However, to get the most out of Facebook you will need to use JavaScript or the Facebook ActionScript API and register your game on the Facebook Developer App page. Before you can register your game with Facebook, you will need to be registered with Facebook and you will need to Login.
Once you are logged-in, you can go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps and click Create New App to register your game with Facebook. (See Fig11-01.)
***Insert Fig11-01.tif***
[Facebook's Create New App form.]
Enter your App Name (the name of your game) and click continue. Complete the Security Check (see Fig11-02) and click Submit. You should see the App Dashboard where you enter details about your game. (See Fig11-03.)
***Insert Fig11-02.tif***
[Security Check form.]
***Insert Fig11-03.tif***
[App Dashboard with Basic Settings selected.]
If you mouse over a question mark, you will see an explanation of what is required to complete this form. Enter a Namespace, from the Category selection pick Games, and then select a sub-category.
Your game can integrate with Facebook several ways and they are listed above the Save Changes button. You can select more than one but for now only select Website with Facebook Login and App on Facebook, enter the fully qualified URL to your game and click Save Changes. (See Fig11-04.)
***Insert Fig11-04.tif***
[Facebook integration menu expanded.]
You can return to https://developers.facebook.com/apps any time and edit your entries. Your game(s) will be listed on the left and you can use the Edit App button to make changes and the Create New App button to add another game.
Click on the App Center link on the left. (See Fig11-05a and Fig11-05b.) Fill in everything that is not optional and upload all the required images. Again, if you mouse over the question marks you will see requirement details including exact image sizes for the icons, banners and screenshots.
***Insert Fig11-05a.tif***
[Top half of the App Center form.]
***Insert Fig11-05b.tif***
[Bottom half of the App Center form.]
When you are finished click Save Changes and Submit App Detail Page. You should then see Additional Notes and Terms. (See Fig11-06.)
***Insert Fig11-06.tif***
[Additional Notes and Terms.]
Tick the checkboxes and click Review Submission. If everything looks acceptable, click Submit. You should then see something like Fig11-07.
***Insert Fig11-07.tif***
[After agreeing with Facebook's terms, you should be directed back to App Center and see this modal window.]
You are now ready to integrate your game with Facebook's API. Because there is a Facebook ActionScript API that communicates with Facebook's API, you need not work directly with the Facebook API.
But before I cover Adobe's Facebook ActionScript API, I am going to cover how you can use the Facebook JavaScript API directly. There no reason to actually do that while the Facebook ActionScript API still works but by the time you read this, the Facebook ActionScript API may no longer work.
In addition, this section shows the basics needed to use any JavaScript API so it applies to any social network that has a JavaScript API including the next "hot" social network that will arise in the future.

Need help with code for adding dates to form

Hello forum goers
I'm new to making forms and figured out how to auto add the date, however I need the form to change the date for every copy made.
For example today is 06/08/2012 if I print 10 copies of the form it will output 10 pages ranging from 06/08/2012 to 06/17/2012. If code exists to do this I would be very gratefull to whoever helps, I also wouldn't mind if that is not possible for manually inputing the start / end dates.
Currently I print 15-30 copies of the form and hand write each of the dates but I'm just getting to busy to do that. I also cannot print one a day it must be in batches.
Thanks in advanced.

What you are asking for is more complex than just setting the current date. Each time the form prints it has to know that it has to change the date. I would suggest doing this.
First, setup a document level script to set the date to the current date. I suspect that you have already done this?
Next, Create a "DidPrint" document action to increment the date. To do this the script will need to scan the current text value of the date, add one day to it, and then reformat it. You'll find information on this type of scripting in these articles:
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt-part-2
http://acrobatusers.com/tutorials/working-with-date-and-time-in-acrobat-javascr
ipt-part-3
Since the increment happenes in the Did Print you will need to print each copy individually. If you enter 10 copies in the print dialog it won't work. You have to print one at a time. You can automate this activity with a console script.
One of the advantages of incrementing in the DidPrint is that you can also manually enter a date and it will increment from there.

Need Help with Skype for Business!

I purchased the Skype for business for an entire year. Now, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to log in. Do I have to link it to original skype? I am new to this and have no knowledge of the formats of Skype or it for business.
Subject/title expanded to reflect post content a little more accurately.

Hi, and no need to feel stupid!
Welcome to this on-line community.
A few questions for you to clarify the Skype product you are working with, so we can send you in the right direction in an effort to resolve the problem:
Are you referring to either Skype Manager, or Skype Connect? Do you recall what "business" product you have?
Or, what are you trying to sign in to? A Skype account via the Skype website, or the software itself?
This FAQ article should help unravel the mysteries of the differences between a personal Skype account and a Skype For Business (formerly known as Lync) configuration: https://support.skype.com/en/faq/FA34551/what-s-the-difference-between-skype-and-skype-for-business
Thanks in advance for providing the additional details.
Regards,
Elaine

Need help with repeating Subforms on the next page

I have created two different flowable repeating subforms, for example - subform1 and subform2 in a document with an action button for each to add another subform on the next page. After subform2, I have two buttons - one to add subform1 again or add subform2 on the next page. When I click the button, Livecycle adds the new subform as commanded but the subform is added directly after the previous same subform not on the next page as requested. I have tried to change the pagination settings but nothing seems to work. Can anyone help me define how to get the repeating subform to add to the next page and not after the same subform?

OK, so here's what I would do.
1. Wrap your subform1 and subform2 in a subform. I'll call it sfMaster.
2. Change your minimum instance for subform1 and 2 to 0 or uncheck the box, and set the initial count to 1. (That way you get at least one of each when we start.)
3. have the buttons create a new instance of sfMaster, then remove the instance of the subform you didn't want within that most recent instance.
So, what the user sees is a new subform1 or 2 each time they hit a button. And they'll appear in whatever order they choose it. The user doesn't have to know that what is actually happening is the creation of a new "master" subform that holds both subform1 and 2.
To help illustrate what I mean, I've added a pink border around sfMaster and colored subform1 and 2.
Binding options for Subform2 (Subform1 would be similar)
What it looks like in action
If you want to guarantee it appears on the next page, you'll need to add the conditional break from earlier. Keep working with it to get the settings just right. You may even want a docReady() event that creates two sfMaster's and sets one to have Subform1 and the other to have Subform2.
