Mail Rules window says "No Scripts Installed" next to "Run AppleScript"

I'm trying to create a rule in Mail that will run an AppleScript. But when I choose "Run AppleScript" in the action section of the rule-creation window, the dropdown to the right says "No Scripts Installed".
If I click on that dropdown, it has one option: "Open in Finder". When I choose that, a Finder window opens to the folder Library/Application Scripts/com.apple.mail/. I dropped my AppleScript file into that folder, but when I tried again to make a rule, I still got the "No Scripts Installed" dropdown.
I'm running Mail version 6.3 in OS X 10.8.3.
Any idea how to get this working properly? Thanks.

When Finder opens the directory for your AppleScript (in the case of OS 10.9.1, "Library>Application Scripts>com.apple.mail"), make sure your script (not a shortcut to your script) is copied there. Once it is, you will see the script in the dropdown menu where you initially saw "No Scripts Installed".
Hope this helps.

I recently subscribed to acrobat pro. I downloaded it, but can't open it. I keep getting the window saying application quit unexpectedly. I running Mavericks. Is that a separate download? Where do I get it?

Hi after upgrading to mountain lion my mail rules keep disappearing this has only happened since i installed mountain lion.

Hi after upgrading to mountain lion my mail rules keep disappearing??? this has only happened since i installed mountain lion.

I had Mountain Lion on two Macs. Mail rules were set up on a third Mac running Lion. I migrated everything on the Lion Mac across to a new iMac running Mountain Lion so now I have Mail rules on a Mountain Lion Mac. At least I should have. Several times a day the rules disappear. I assume this is iCloud synching messing up. I keep re-entring the rules but they vanish again and I'm getting tired of the game.
Large chunk of my Safari bookmarks bar also disappear at random intervals. It seems that iCloud can handle two Mountain Lion Macs on the same Apple ID, but can't cope with three.

My Mail rules keep "breaking"

I'm using Mail on OS X 10.4.10, with the Mail Act-On plugin installed. (This lets me trigger specific rules with key shortcuts.) I have 4 IMAP accounts in Mail, one of which is .Mac. The others are on my own server, provided by a hosting service.
I have set up several rules to automate moving messages from one folder to another. But each time I start Mail, it changes several of the rules, so they don't point to the mailboxes I want. Rather than pointing to the mailboxes under the "Inbox" at the top of the list, some of them point instead to IMAP boxes at the bottom of the list (featuring a grey globe with the @ symbol). The problem seems only affect the accounts that are on my IMAP server, not the .Mac account. Other rules that don't point to mailboxes in the Inbox don't have this problem. Any ideas about what could be causing this?
Thanks,
Jack

How do I start Photoshop CC after CC says it is installed?

I just joined the Creative Cloud and the CC window says I have installed Lightroom 5 and Photoshop CC. There is a Lightroom shortcut on my desktop which appears to open the app (I am new to Lightroom). However, there is no Photoshop CC shortcut. There IS a Creative Cloud shortcut which only opens the window described in the first sentence. Help! I am running Windows 7 Professional, Service Pack 1.

Strange... Well, there must be an Adobe Photoshop folder with the appropriate application icon in it somewhere in your Programs folder. You know how and where to find that ? You can then rightclick that icon and create a shortcut onto the desktop.
I wish the application icons in the CC Destop panel would "start" the applications, if present of course. That would be very obvious for them to do, I guess.

After trying to install the new update, I am getting a message from Windows saying that an MC file is missing, reintall Itunes-which I have now done 3 times. How do I fix this?

I received the new update from Itunes and after installing, I couldnt get into my Itunes. I get a message from Windows saying that an MC file is missing and to reinstall I tunes. I have reinstalled 3 times, the first time I didn't remove the old version, I installed the update over it. Next I tried the repair function under Control Panel. After that, I uninstalled Itunes and reinstalled again from the website. I still get the same message about missing files from Windows.

Hi - in the app store, I've logged in with no problem, but when I go into my existing purchases and have INSTALL next to everything I've bought, and try to click on them it says;
"There was an error in the App Store. Please try again later. (100)".
I've tried restarting, clearing all caches, buying and downloading new apps (which works), and also buying and downloading more music from iTunes too (so I update all T&C's etc too, and update all payment info). But nothing seems to solve this. Any ideas?? Thanks a lot, Greg

Program with Mail Rule script

I am trying to develop a Mail run script and I am running into problems. The Rule is being trigger because I have a change my color rule action and a script action. The color changes but the script does not appear to trigger at all. His is the script.
using terms from application "Mail"
on perform mail action with messages theMessages
tell application "Finder" to set pathToAttachments to (path to desktop folder as string)
tell application "Mail"
repeat with theMessage in theMessages
set theText to content of theMessage
if theMessage's mail attachments is not {} then
repeat with theAttachment in theMessage's mail attachments
set theFileName to pathToAttachments & theAttachment's name
try
save theAttachment in theFileName
on error errnum
end try
tell application "Preview" to open file theFileName
tell application "Finder" to delete file theFileName
end repeat
end if
end repeat
end tell
end perform mail action with messages
end using terms from
tell application "Mail"
set myMessages to selection
tell me to perform mail action with messages myMessages
end tell
Notice the tell block at the end. If I uncomment that, select a mail message and execute that in a script editor, all is fine.
With that block commented out and try to execute it using the *Apply Rules* nothing seems to happens. Even if I put a Beep statement inside the "on perform mail action with messages theMessages" block, That does not even sound off.
Anyone see why this would execute as a rule?

The logic of whether to invoke the rule is not within the script.
You tell Mail.app to run the script when certain conditions are met (e.g. sender address, recipient address, or one of several other conditions). Once Mail.app has decided the messages matches the conditions it calls your script.
I realize that is the theory behind mail.app, but it has been my experience with Rule settings that they do NOT run "automagically" when conditions in them are met.
This is clearly illustrated by a number of cases I have where by simply "adding a rule," any rule, that says anything, and then clicking the resulting "apply" button (which only is available when you add or subtract a rule), all the existing rule(s) are processed and mail is sorted according to those rules which had previously been sitting in the inbox. (In my case they are a bunch of "junk" filters).
There is either some bug in mail's triggering mechanism, or some inherently "different" mechanism in use when "auto triggered" vs when "applied." In either case, there is no documentation about it.

Everytime i start firefox, I get a window that says:A script on this page may be busy, or it may have stopped responding. You can stop the script now, or you can continue to see if the script will complete.

Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of your add-ons is causing your problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Tools > Add-ons > Themes).
See [[Troubleshooting extensions and themes]] and [[Troubleshooting plugins]]
If it does work in Safe-mode then disable all your extensions and then try to find which is causing it by enabling one at a time until the problem reappears.
You can use "Disable all add-ons" on the ''Safe mode'' start window.
You have to close and restart Firefox after each change via "File > Exit" (on Mac: "Firefox > Quit")

Thanks for your help Jeff...actually it turned out that Chrome was the issue and even FIrefox didn't work ....it was slow clunky old IE that eventually got me the chat option and I finally got my issue resolved.....I was getting pretty desperate and am now VERY happy to have my Master Collection back.
Sorry I don't know enough about plugins to help you there but all other functions that I need to do with Chrome work as a rule so I cannot help as far as Adobe is concerned. I know that Chrome often has shock wave errors due to incompatibility with the player on my device but otherwise I'm clueless.

When trying to download Boot Camp Windows Support Software, error says: "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."

I use a Macbook Pro 13" mid 2010 on Mavericks and I've tried using the Boot Camp assistant to download support software for Windows 7. This gives the error "Can't install the software because it is not currently available from the Software Update server."
Further, I tried to separately download Boot Camp 4 and 5. When I do this and try to install from Windows 7, it says that this version of Boot Camp is not for this computer and doesn't install. The result is that I have Windows 7 working and installed, but am unable to use the trackpad to rightclick, brightness settings, etc.
Please help!
Thanks

You need to run Bootcamp Assistant and select only the menu item to download the Windows Support Software. Follow the instructions. The download servers are extremely slow therefore it may take several hours to get the download.
