More automator problems

At least two automator workflows that worked properly in tiger seem to run twice when triggered in leopard.
One gets selected items in the finder and imports them into aperture. The result is that two of each photo appear in aperture under leopard.
The other workflow gets selected items in the finder and scales them 50%. In this case in leopard they get scaled to 25%.
Furthermore, when attempting to recreate the scaling workflow from scratch in leopard the input box in automator for the scaling factor totally screws up the typed input. (50 becomes 505 or something crazy like that. Holding the delete key turns it into 505050505) Even then, hitting the run button for the workflow in automator does nothing - the workflow does not execute.
I submitted this as a bug report and am wondering if others have experienced anything similar. I did a simple update from tiger to leopard and have had little in the way of other problems.

I have created a workflow script to open all images files located in selected folder in Preview application. Repeated images appear in Preview window.
Note when the same script is executed in automator instead of invoking through content menu in Finder, the problem did not occur. I suppose it has to do with execution order and speed and has nothing to do with the applications used in the script.

No More Resource problem

Hi:
I have a J2EE application using Connection Pool and JDBC.
I am using Weblogic 6.1 and JDK 1.3.1.
I am running into a 'No More Resource' problem. I did some debugging and think the cause is due to all my 80 database connections are used up so no new connection is available. But all the 80 connections shouldn't be used up because I did the statement.close() and rs.close() in the finally{} statement in all my DAO methods. But it seems like the connections are not released back to the free pool.
I thought I read something that I might need to do a conn.close() too in order for the connections to be returned to the pool and marked as available. Don't the statement.close() do that? Thanks for any help!
Stella

Any resolution on this? We're getting the same problem - using weblogic 6.1 and jdk131. We should never reach the max # of connections specified in the pool but periodically we do. Scraped through all the code and confirmed that for every connection we call ResultSet.close; Statement.close; Connection.Close in the finally block of the try/catch statements. But we still periodically reach the max. It's sporadic so we can't reproduce. Also, after we get the error and we check the weblogic console, we see the # of active connections drop back down below the max capacity (we have shrinking turned on). Any ideas?
thx.

Yet more TagLibs problems

As jato2 still doesn't know about some HTML4 tags like <label>
ex:
<label><input type="radio" ... />TheLabel</label>
if you click on "TheLabel", it clicks on the radio button, like every
other GUI
I thought I would be able use the <label for=""> as a workaround
<input type="radio" name="choice" id="choice1" /> <label
for="choice1">TheLabel</label>
BUT despite it generates several tags, <jato:radioButtons> sets the id
attribute to the same value for every tag :< This not only defeats my
workaround but also id main purpose to uniquely identity elements.
We really need a generic mechanism to specify attributes when jato tags
generate multiple HTML tags.
I can still change the generated tags in endDisplay but it be neat if
the 201 taglib was a little bit more XHTML compliant and savvy ;)

Give me until monday and I'll have what you "ask" for (WML/XHTML
Basic/Mobile as well as ViewBean).
Following Todd advices,
for the former, I am having new tags to render the same components. I
may need to write new components but I'm not sure yet.
for the latter, 1 pagelet per "rendering" type with an inner
ContainerView when the logic is different ; the pagelet tags being
surrounded by a homemade tag that "activates" the pagelet based on the
client type. A specialized tag seems better than <jato:content> as the
logic is wired.
Further step would be to make the tags client aware but I'm not sure
yet it is the right thing to do. Are tags "allowed" to store data in
the session (to avoid computing client type ever and ever) ?

However, please keep in mind that you can write your own complementary

that
render themselves any way you like), and this is expected to be a
normal, if
infrequent, part of writing JATO 2.0 components.That's what I'm doing right now for the WML tags. But I was planning on
using the standard tags for mainstream HTML ;)
May you elaborate a little bit on complementary tags vs components ?

Until the 2.0 taglib is documented, you can use the 1.2.1 JATO

One more time - problems with fans

I realize this is but one of hundreds or possibly thousands of cases of Mac users being plagued by fan noise problems, but to me it has been a long and extremely frustrating saga. I have been a Mac user since the very beginning, through different versions of Macs and iMacs, and this is the first time I ever refer to a Macintosh as a "piece of junk."
I bought my iMac G5 in August 2005, a 20-inch ALS with 250 GB hard drive and 512 MB RAM. It worked perfectly until January this year, when all of sudden it shut down by itself. Freaked me out completely. Turned out to be power supply problem (EMC 2056) which Apple never informed me about.
I brought it to a repair shop that fixed the intermittent shut-down problem. I also added 1GB memory. But then the fans started to go berserk. Before the power supply problem, I only heard the fans whenever I used a large program like Photoshop. For the most part, it was a very quiet machine. After the power supply was replaced, within minutes of turning the iMac on, I could hear the fans spinning faster and faster, stabilizing at around 4400 rpm and did not stop spinning until I put the iMac to sleep or turned it off, regardless of CPU usage or software being used.
I checked the discussions at this forum (over 500 posts, no real answer) and did every "voodoo trick" suggested: I reset the SMU dozens of time, cleaned the inside of the iMac and around the fan area, did apple hardware test (everything was fine), monitored temperature and activity with XRG (average CPU at 160F, hard drive at 113F), cleaned out caches, tested for corrupt preferences, re-installed the original OS 10.4 (which only made the fans louder), upgraded it back to OS 10.4.9. I also removed the additional 1 GB memory, thinking it might be a bad piece. It didn't help.
Finally, I requested fan replacement from Apple and got them. I installed them last Sunday and now the problem is even worse! Within SECONDS of turning it on, the CPU T- Dio soars to around 170F, even while the machine is still stone cold to the touch. The hard drive temperature now averages at 117F, CPU fan is never below 4000 rpm (4400 rpm 98% of the time), even at 5-8% CPU usage.
The fans themselves are much quieter because they're brand new. But you can still hear the hums and whirs and it drives me nuts. More seriously, my iMac is now narcoleptic. If I use it too long (a few hours on a stretch) it will put itself to sleep, apparently because it thinks it is overheated. And when I use Photoshop or Illustrator, the awake time is even shorter. Depending on the outside temperature, at the most I can only use them for about an hour at a time. Two days ago we had heat wave, and even with the air conditioner running full blast in my study, the iMac kept falling asleep within minutes of using Illustrator.
Right now I am using TextEdit and no other program is running. Uptime is 59 minutes, average CPU 9.6%. CPU T-Dio is at 168.8F, hard drive 117.5F, CPU fan at 4400 rpm. I am out of ideas and before I do something drastic to this machine, if anyone knows what's going on with my iMac (I know every case is different), please help!
iMacG5 ECM 2056 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 20"/2.0GHz Power PC/1.5GB DDR SDRAM/250GB
iMacG5 ECM 2056 Mac OS X (10.4.9) 20"/2.0GHz Power PC/1.5GB DDR SDRAM/250GB

I do not have the solution... but the same problem with a nice iMac G5 purchased in July 2005.
My Mac operated very silently untill 6 month ago;problem MAY ( I am not sure) have started when I upgraded to 10.4.10 ; even with few applications and low CPU usage (80% or more inactive), it seems that I have the following regrettable chain of events;
==> the CPU temperature is quite high ( 60°c to 72°c most of the time, ie 140-160 °F)
==> resulting in fan turning at high speed ( 2.000 for CPU and system, 2500 for HD), and changing speed all the time
==> resulting in a noisy computer
I am SURE this was not the case 6 month ago, and I suspect it is linked to my upgrade to 10.4.10.
I did all sorts of reinstall, authorization repair, SMU reset, fan clean-up with no sucess.

Automation Problem - Desperate Help Needed

Hi
Was wondering if anyone can help or has had the sameproblem?
I have nearly finished a remix project in Logic and I amcoming to the final stages of automating effects etc.
All of a sudden, my automation is not recording on certain tracks.
I am simply trying to automate the cut-off on the Filterplug-in, but have subsequently realised that it is also happening with volume and any other type of automation.
I thought it might be something to do with the massive synth– but the same is happening with the EXS and ES2 etc.
I have done a lot of testing and opened up a new project andcopied over the settings and midi-regions and automation records absolutely fine!
I even tried to get round it by sending the output to a bus and effecting the bus then trying to automate the bus once adding to the arrange! No Joy! Still failed?!
It seems that it is a bug within my project?!
A black line appears and even if I try and manually drawautomation the line just disappears.
It is definitely not what I am doing, as I have replicated the process in a fresh project and it works fine.
Are you only allowed so many channels of automation?
Funnily, during my testing when I try and delete the trackto start a fresh – it says – 'Do you want to delete automation'! but there isclearly none on display and I am not hearing any!
It feels like a bug – but wondered if anyone else had any issues?
It is only affecting certain tracks, but I cannot see a correlation between them?!
I am about to start replicating everything in a new project! Huge job – but I need to automate forthe final mix and its due by Friday – I am really frustrated by this!
Can Apple help me?
Thanks in advance
Steve

Steve,
I haven't seen this behavior before, but it sounds like a corrupted file. It doesn't happen often, but it does, and can happen.
If you are not having similar problems in a new template, than moving everything over to a new session would be advised, at this point.
Logic 9's new track import feature will make this A LOT easier than it ever was.
Read up on how this is done, but you should be able to copy EVERYTHING over to a new session in one swoop

Automator problem parsing variable as filename in disc image

Dear apple/automator forum.
I have just recently started using Automator, and i am experiencing a little problem which im hoping to get a helping hand with.
First, heres my screenshot (sorry its in danish, ill explain what iwe done): www.bergsorensen.dk/screenshot.png
- As for text
- Set new variable
- Get finder items
- New disc iamge from finder items (variable as filename)
I made a service which creates a new disc image of the selected finder items. Now, "in front" of that, i wanted a dialog box, where you could type the name of the new disc image - filename.
The creating disc image flow works perfectly, though i cant get the dialog box to parse the variable as name to the disc image.
Any suggestions?
Best
Kasper

You might want to update your forum settings, since your screenshot indicates you are running *Snow Leopard's Automator*.
The problem seems to be that you are mixing the text from your dialog with the input items - note that any selected items are already passed to the service, so you don't have to use additional actions to get the input. You just need to add a few actions to save and restore the original input when getting your other variable(s):
1) *Set Value of Variable* { Variable: _Original Input_ } -- save the input items
2) *Ask for Text* ( *Ignore Input* ) -- get a name for the disk image
3) *Set Value of Variable* { Variable: _Image Name_ } -- now we can use this variable in other actions
4 *Get Value of Variable* { Variable: _Original Input_ } ( *Ignore Input* ) -- get the input items back
5) *New Disk Image* { (drag _Image Name_ variable to the "Volume name" and "Save as" fields) }

Please Help! More Capturing Problems.

I'm having some trouble capturing footage from onto Final Cut Express HD.
Whenever I try to capture, the footage plays on my screen for about a second, freezes and I get this error message,
"Capture encountered a problem reading the data on your source tape. This could be due to a problem with the tape. Capture has been aborted and you clip has been saved."
I am left with a five second clip from my tape for my trouble. This has only started happening recently, I am using the same setup that I have done before when it was working. I can capture with no issues on imovie.
I have called tech support and they sent me a link that shows how to reinstall final cut and delete all the user preference settings. I have tried different tapes, different sources for saving footage and I still have the exact same problem.
Any more info you need please ask. Please help me, I'm pulling my hair out!
Thanks!

Well, I've captured before when the external drives have been connected, but I disconnected them and retried after resetting everything and I still get the same error.
I've also tried resetting the settings on my XHA1 and deleting all the preferences for final cut express, all the receipts etc. And reinstalling and still I get the same error.
I am shooting in HDV and have tried capturing with both 'HD down-conv' on and off, comp out is 1080i/576i (as it's always been). Set my FCE setting correctly? I've been through preferences and system settings, apart from selecting easy setup>DV-NTSC Firewire Basic and making sure there is space on capture scratch, anything else I need to look out for?

Automator problem--action works OK in Workflow but not in iCal Plug-In

The "Find To Dos in iCal" action works fine when executed from a Workflow within Automator, but fails to produce results when executed as a plug-in from within iCal. Specifically, I'm using "Due Date is Next Week" as the selection criteria and when executed from the workflow all to dos with due dates in the next 7 days are found, but no to dos are found when executed as a plug-in.
I assume this is a Leopard bug, so I've submitted an Automator Bug Report.
Does anyone have a solution or work-around for this problem?

QuickTime 7.6 export automator problem

Hi,
I have been using QT 7.5.5 an automator workflow to export screenshots from multiple .mov files. This worked perfectly. I upgraded to 7.6 today, and I get the following error message:
"This script requires QuickTime 5.0 or greater.
Current QuickTime version: 1290.0
Current QuickTime Player version: 7.6"
How can i fix this? Can I roll back to version 7.5.5? If so, how?

I am having the same problem. Do you know if there is a way to switch back to QT 7.5.5 until the action is updated?

Measurement & Automation Problem I think?

Hello, have two seperate computers running the same software, one has vb6 installed.
I have a labview program and vb6 program that does pretty close to the same thing.
I set up a task in M&A with 2 temperatures. Voltages are the problem.
They run fine in vb6 with a voltage of around .25 on one computer.
I switch the usb cable of a daqpad6015 and the voltages changed to .14 and .09 on the other computer inside m&a and labview.
I am also taking 2 pressure and flows in the same task which have equivelent voltages between computers.
Whats happening.
thanks.
The funny thing is if I unplug the usb cable and then plug it back in, the correct voltage is displayed in m&A for a split second and then drops to the errored voltage.

Hi Jes,
I just want to make sure I understand the situation: You have a single DAQPad-6015 for USB with two different cables, and you are connecting it to different computers (only one at a time, back and forth). You have a VB6 program on one computer and a LabVIEW program on the other computer, each performing the same tasks. This task is comprised of 2 AI Temperature channels, 2 AI Pressure channels, and 1 AI Flow channel. When reading from the VB6 computer with cable #1, you read .25V on temperature channel 1. When reading from the LabVIEW computer with cable #2, you read .14V on temperature channel 1. Is that correct?
I would suggest reading from Measurement & Automation explorer on both computers from the DAQPad-6015 with cable #1, then doing the same thing (reading from Measurement & Automation explorer on both computers from the DAQPad-6015), but this time with cable #2. This will eliminate the variable of the software application being used. If both cables are working properly, you should see the same readings on each computer. If they are different, it sounds like one of the cables could be faulty.
Also note that if you are taking temperature readings, slight variations in temperature will cause changes in the voltage read in. So if these computers are in different rooms, the difference in reading could be due to the difference in temperature between rooms.
Please verify that I understand your setup and give that a try. Let me know if you are still having trouble...

Preflight Droplet/Acrobat Startup Automation Problems

Hello,
We're experiencing some problems regarding preflight droplets not being executed for some instances when the Acrobat XI application
(Acrobat Pro XI and Windows XP) is not yet opened before the preflight droplet is executed (Acrobat is started/opened due to the preflight droplet call but it doesn't execute the preflight droplet anymore).
If Acrobat is not yet opened and we executed the droplet, Acrobat opens and loads but the preflight action is not executed (we waited for a long time thinking Acrobat is still warming up but nothing really happens), we tried executing preflight droplet again (with the opened faulty Acrobat) and still does nothing. We needed to close Acrobat and reopen manually before we execute the preflight droplet for it to work again. Note that we are executing the preflight droplet using the commandline using our program (java) and not using drag and drop. Seems Acrobat is still initializing so it wasn't able to queue the preflight process... Note though that this does not happen all the time.
Can anyone from Adobe check if this is a known issue?
Currently, the only resolution is to manually open Acrobat and open the preflight window and let it initialize and close the preflight window again and leave acrobat open before executing executing the droplet (which is a bit troublesome if we want to automate opening Acrobat when server is restarted or just turned on)
Please advise if there is a fix for this? Or is there a way to initialize the preflight preferences on startup of Acrobat via commandline line or any other option.
we can try to execute a script/bat file to start up Acrobat + initialize its preflight preferences before executing our program (though we're not sure if initializing the preflight preferences can be automated on startup of Acrobat).
Thanks

But wait, there's more... more wifi problems = glad to have my nexus 7

i work in a wifi zone. who doesn't. i used to use my ipad 2 (64gig wifi+3g iOS 6.0.1) all the time here to get things from dropbox or take notes with evernote, or to surf answers to questions posed in meetings. wonderful tool. then i updated the OS to 6...
and now i can't use it for more than a couple of minutes before wifi quits working.
i get the same spining wheel of death in the settings>wifi that others have complained about.
i've started carrying my nexus 7 around with the ipad and without failing even a single time the nexus has never had an issue connecting while the ipad sits and spins its wheel of death.
and all this can be had for $1,000 with tax. yea.
at home my wifi connectivity is much better with the ipad, but still it's worse than it was before the 'update'. further, if the nexus can connect i expect the 4 times more expensive, from the great minds at apple, ipad to be able to connect also.
guess i was wrong.
i don't get angry when computers can't do complex things that are relatively new, but wifi isn't new, and i get immensly hacked off when a company breaks a basic functionality of a devise and offers nary a word on a fix.
face it folks. this is just another IT gadget made by just another computer company.

iOS 6.1 was just released today. Maybe there's a wifi fix.
Some things to try first:
1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
5. Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
    •    Launch Settings app
    •    Tap on Wi-Fi
    •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
    •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

More volume problems...

Every so often and quite randomly, a song on my iPod will be at a lower volume than it should be. I'll be listening to an album ripped from a single source, and one of the songs will be quieter than the rest of the album. What's even more f u c ked up is that I'll be listening to the same album on iTunes and won't have that problem. Keep in mind that with iTunes I don't have the Sound Check option on, and I don't have any sort of manual volume adjustment turned on, either. In other words, this is just another case of my iPod just randomly f u c king up on my for no apparent reason.
I have also tried deleting the songs from my iPod and re-loading them, but that hasn't worked.

take a look at this link
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61655
according to this link, sound check calculates the volume from the info stored on the song file. part of the miscalculations that the ipod is doing has to do with the info embedded to the audio file and this info was made at the time the audio file was encoded.

CC automation problems with Battery 3

I have the knowledge about how CCs work as I've worked with hardware samples and Cubase for years.
I just got myself a Macbook, Logic Exp 7.2 and Battery 3 (it's UB).
In Battery 3, I can freely assign any CC to modulate some desired sampler parameter(s).
E.g., I can freely pick any CC and assign it to, say, a filter cutoff / sample start / etc.
So there's nothing hard about that.
However, when I draw - on the main window, on an automation track - a curve (or, a line, rather) for the assigned CC on the Battery 3 channel and after that play my Logic, nothing happens.
So I wonder what's wrong?
As soon as I switch the modulation source to velocity for example, I can hear the modulation happening so I know that the mod. matrix definitely does work.
The CC thingie, however, seems not to be working.
I wonder why that is? It also looks odd that the range of the CC curve I can draw is 0.00 - 1.00; shouldnt it usually be 0 - 127?
Ive never had this problem with any other plugin before; however, with any other plugs etc (e.g., EXSP24, some fx plugins etc) ive used ive never had to draw any CCs curves as Logic lets me pick and draw all desired automation curves so easily without bothering me with any CCs things, and this ive already done a lot with my Logic and everything works like a charm - it's only the CCs here that aint doing nothing.
Any help here is much appreciated.
And pls dont tell me this is some Logic Exp limitation; that I should upgrade to Pro to get the CCs working? :-/

i'll answer my own Q.
the answer is in the "automation page", not "modulation page" - the cc things u do in the latter seem to have absolutely no effect.
thanks to mister Ew for clarifying this to me on DOA board.

Applescript, iMovie and Automator problem

Hi,
Sorry for reposting from another area, but maybe this will fair better in the right section.
I'm trying to convert a .mov file to .mp4 using Visualhub and automator, but a step in my automator file uses an applescript step that just causes the automator flow to stop and the end and not gon one with the rest of the actions.
More specifically:-
1. I use my HD camera to film something.
2. Connect the camera to my mac.
3. Import the video using iMovie.
4. My Automator actions ask me to confirm that iMovie has finished the import
5. Then Ask for finder items, which is get the newly imported .mov into VisualHub
6. Run the problematic Applescript:-
on run {input, parameters}
--we need to unset the default timeout length of two minutes, we'll make it 45
with timeout of (45 * 60) seconds
tell application "VisualHub" to set VisualHub to load script (scripts path of main bundle & "/automation.scpt" as POSIX file)
tell VisualHub
LoadSettings("/Volumes/MyBook/hd.cam.settings.vhub")
--SetSaveLocation("YOURHARDDRIVE:Users:YOURNAME:Desktop:iphonemovies:temp")
AddFiles(input)
StartConversion()
QuitApp()
end tell
end timeout
return input
--delay 15
end run
Which I've used from this site (http://professafresh.wordpress.com/2007/10/18/fun-with-automator/) and just stopped the two lines with a comment marker.
What is supposed to happen after that is that
7. Automator asks to confirm that VisualHub has finished.
8. VisualHub quits
9. Finder finds the .mov that was created when the film was imported
10. Finder then moves the item to the trash.
So there is something going on with the applescript that causes the process to stop after the conversion.
Some points:-
1. I have used the VisualHub import and convert script step but the default settings are not what I'm after as I want the video resized to 960x540.
2. iMovie recognizes and keeps all the head info as long as the file name is the same. So if you skip over the thumbnail in iMovie the timestamp changes to reflect the time that the video was taken. If you convert the .mov to .mp4 the info is retained but with a much smaller video size.
I've tried to give as much info as possible, sorry if it's too much.
Regards,

You can do that all in iMovie
Select 300 photos set the length to 3:15 - Import
Select all in the timeline. Pick your transition. Set it to .29. Apply.
