I would like to use Automator

I would like to use Automator or something else to automatically copy and save photos from a website on my HD.
There's a site with a great number of photos (museum showing photos, paintings, all in JPEG) and I would like to create a program that will copy/save a photo, then go to the next one, and the next one, and so on. And if possible to the next page after that. So I don't have to spend hours and hours doing this.
After it is downloaded I will look what I want to keep and what I want to delete.
They say Apple Script is simple and Automator even simpler...well, maybe I was tired when I read about these two programs in the Mac OS X Bible (Tiger edition) but it doesn't seem that simple.
Anyone did this by any chance ?(copying photos from the Web ?)

If you're using Word 2011 and have the freeware CUPS-PDF virtual printer* installed . . .
Workflow:
1. Get Specified Finder Items (or equivalent action)
2. Open Word Documents (under the Library/Documents actions that Office 2011 installs)
3. Apply Font Format Settings to Word Documents (ditto)
4. Print Word Documents (ditto)
In step 4, you'll want to direct the documents to "print" with the CUPS-PDF printer.
You needn't be concerned with deleting "personal information" stored in Properties. That information isn't retained in the PDF anyway.
Tested with 10.6.8 and Word 2011.
* Get the CUPS-PDF virtual printer from https://bitbucket.org/codepoet/cups-pdf-for-mac-os-x/wiki/Home. Here's a slightly dated description of what CUPS-PDF does and ways to tweak it: http://www.macworld.com/article/1139518/cupspdf.html.

Keyboard short cuts can not be set to launch Apps.
OS X Mavericks: Create keyboard shortcuts for apps
There are many apps in the App Store that claim to do this. Though I have no first hand experience.
Search for hotkeys on the App Store.
Though if you are happy using Automator here's a guide to Setting Launch App.

Reboot, hold the option key down as soon as you hear the chime. When the Boot Manager appears select OSX instead of Windows.

I would like to use time Machine to back up to a network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it

I currently have a mini server (OSX10.8.5, server 2.2.2) that I am using Time Machine to back up 4 external drives that are connected to the server via firewire 800. I would like to use Time Machine to back up to a windows network SMB drive. I can see the drive on my desktop but it will not show in the time machine window to be able to select it for use.
Can this be done
Thanks for any and all help

The supported targets for Time Machine backups are local (direct-connected) disks, and network targets include Time Capsule, a disk hanging off the current-generation AirPort (though not earlier AirPort devices), and OS X Server systems.
The Time Machine storage is based on the HFS+ file system, so I would not expect TM to work with SMB file services.
While there are hacks to allow Time Machine to access network drives, I would not consider those to be reliable. Skim the forum and the 'net for related details, and for previous discussions of setting this up and the related issues that can arise.
Remember to test the recovery with whatever you decide to use; whole point of backups is the ability to restore the data, after all.
If you want to learn more about Time Machine, Pondini is an excellent resource.

Hi there cv4928,
Could you provide the community with a little more information to help narrow troubleshooting? What operating system are we using and what application will we be printing from?
You can say thanks by clicking the Kudos Star in my post. If my post resolves your problem, please mark it as Accepted Solution so others can benefit too.

I installed the latest version of Firefox. The home page is now a google search box. I would like to use my old sbcyahoo desktop with its icons. I am unable to make the change.

Oops. I could have been more clear, sorry.
TOOLS > OPTIONS > GENERAL tab
Under Start-up at the top of GENERAL, you have an option to type in the url or use the tabs to set your homepage to the current page.
Go to your chosen site, open OPTIONS and click 'Use current page.'
Sorry for the shorthand version previously. I blame the cat.

TS2972 What is the point of Home Share if all devices must have the same Apple ID? Three family members in this home would like to use the facility but all have different Apple IDs.

Three family members use ITunes and would like to use Home Share but the HOme Share set-up guidance states that all devices must use the same Apple ID.
Is there a workaround for this impasse?

TS3510 I have 3 different apple devices using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other. Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

I have 3 different apple devices (iPod Touch, iPad and MacBook Pro) using the same Apple ID and would like to use FaceTime to call from one device to the other. Do I need a different Apple ID for one of the devices in order to do that?

I found this on a related question in the Community:
Yes you can do it. I do it with 4 different devices all using the same Apple ID.
You need to associate different email addresses for each device in order to use those email addresses as the "contact at" email address. The reason the calls are dropping on you now is that what you are trying to do is like calling yourself on your own phone.
You can also create new iCloud accounts on each device simply to use for FaceTime, but I'm guessing that the users of the other two devices have their own email addresses which will make this work for you quite easily.
Take a look at this for more information.
The seems to go against what Gail said and the issue you raised about buying dup apps was my first concern. If this other post is correct, how to I set a different "contact at" in the iPod Touch?

I need help with color pallette in iPhoto 11. I have created a book and would like to use a different color background than those given in "background." I have found the color palettes but can't seem to incorporate them into my backgrounds palette.

That is not a feature of iPhoto - suggest to Apple - iPhoto Menu ==> provide iPhoto feedback.
Additionally I have no idea what you are saying here

And it always helps for you to dientify the version of iPhoto that you are using

I have two iPads, two separate accounts I have purchased apps on one Acc. and would like to use them on my second iPad. How is this possible

If you go to Settings > iTunes & AppStore , you can sign out from your account, and sign in with the one you've used to purchase apps.This will not remove any apps you already have on it.
Then you can go to AppStore and download apps you've purchased (either via "Purchased" button in "Updates", or simply search for them and download them.
That way you can have multiple accounts' apps on your iPad. When updating, you will be prompted for the credentials for account you've purchased given App with.

Make a new Apple ID for her.
Use it on her iPhone 4S for iCloud, iMessage and FaceTime.
Use your ID on her iPhone 4S for iTunes and App Stores.
Sign in with your Apple ID on iTunes Store (on iTunes app of her new computer)
Authorize her new computer with your Apple ID in iTunes (iTunes menu>Store>Authorize this Computer)
Check "Share my Library on my Local Network" in iTunes Preferences in your and her computer
Sign in Home Sharing of her iTunes with your Apple ID.
Copy all the Music she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Copy all the apps she wants from the old computer to the new one. (Must be on the same network)
Export all playlist as xml files from the old computer to the new one.(right click on the playlist to export and "File>Library>Import Playlist to Import)
Sync her iPhone 4S with all content she wants from her new computer (all data from the old computer will be deleted)
Are you sharing Contacts or other data from iCloud?
Be careful or ask for help about moving from iCloud account to another one.

I would like to use Automator
