Mountain Lion Calendar won't launch my Applescript

I've just upgraded to Mountain Lion and find that my previously automatically launched Applescripts, open but do not run.
In 10.6, to run scripts unattended, I just created an Ical event with an alert that ran the script.
This event was saved in the upgrade. My script still works, but now Calendar just *opens* the script. It doesn't run it.
So where are you supposed to schedule things like this in Mountain Lion?
For those who care - what the script does is copy text from a Safari page and save it to a text file.
I need it to run every half hour.
It doesn't run anymore, unless I am there to click the "run" button when calendar opens the script.

Problem solved with thread titled (re)Enable iCalendar ability to execute AppleScript

Installed Mountain Lion--Pages won't launch

I get an error message that says Pages failed to launch because of DIVX Decoder.component (library/quicktime/divxdecoder.component) Pages was working fine before installing Mountain Lion.
This is on my 2009 Mac mini. I just bought a new Macbook Pro that came with Mountain Lion, and Pages works fine on that, even though the divx decoder.component was copied from the Mac mini during an 18-hour Migration Assistant file transfer marathon.
I haven't got a clue on how to fix this.
Help. I've got a 52,000 word manuscript in Pages on the Mac mini.

Thanks Peggy, your suggestions worked. I used Disk Utility to repair permissions; but the repairs were to printer and frameworks items, not QuickTime Divx decoder.component. So I don't know if the permissions repairs did anything to resolve the problem.
I also removed the DivX decoder and encoders and relaunched. I suspect this was the fix.
Thanks so much for helping me with this odd problem--and for responding so quickly. Much appreciated!!

Calendar won't launch under Mountain Lion

After installing ML, Calendar won't launch. No error message, just nothing. Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks Eric, but I'd already found that procedure and this is exactly what I did. Didn't work, alas. Or rather, it worked alright since I've got no traces of MS OFfice on my Mac anymore. But it still won't install from the installation disk. Below is the error message, in Dutch. It says the installation failed due to an error in the installation program and that I should contact Microsoft.
Pfff.
Everything worked fine under Lion. Should I give up on Mountain Lion and revert back to Lion?
What did Microsoft say?

In mountain lion calendar, the alerts on give you a "close" or "snooze" options. What happen to being able to select how long you wanted to snooze your alert?

SnoozeMaster is now avaiable from the Mac App Store, for MacOS X 10.8 and up.
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/snoozemaster/id614955483?mt=12
It addresses this exact issue. You'll be able to configure different pre-set snooze times, enter custom snooze times when an alarm triggers, etc. It's what snoozing should've been from the get go.

Mountain Lion Messages won't connect / go online

For the last few days Mountain Lion Messages won't connect / go online. Prior to that it would disconnec at random and it would be difficult to make it connect again. But now it's totally refusing to go online.

I solved the problem, with the help of a friend!
Turns out, even though Messages in Mountain Lion won't prompt you about this in any way, there is a difference between your @mac.com email and your @me.com email.
Messages on Mountain Lion has an iChat built in, but is actually at the same time a new protocol which does not use AIM like iChat. So, it's both AIM iChat and something new.
As soon as I added a new account inside Messages on Mountain Lion with @me.com I could reconnect and all is fine.
Apple, this is a lot less obvious to the end user than you might think. You have switched online services a few time and it always gets better and better. But Messages in Mountain Lion should prompt the user to add the @me.com address if this is required to use the software!

My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite. They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can

My time machine backup disc has apps from Mountain Lion that won't open now that I have Yosemite. They all say need to be upgraded to Yosemite. Go to app store. But app store sees that I have yosemite so doesn't even show me an udate option. How can Update these files??

How do you know they won't run in Yosemite? You're not trying to fiddle with stuff in your backup from the Finder, are you? If so you are likely to render that backup unusable.
WHen when you restore them from your backup, they should be updateable.

Mountain Lion calendar and notes sync problems with exchange server via WLAN

After upgrading to Mountain Lion calendar and notes do not sync anymore with my exchange server via WLAN. There are no syncing problems via ethernet if WLAN is deactivated. Mail works fine with both connection types. Similar problems known? Solutions?
Thanks for any ideas.

Exact same issue ... cropped up in the past 2 weeks. Constantly syncing and re syncing. Watching calendar events show up and disappear. Tried all the normal stuff including deleting and re setting up the entire acct ... no luck. It built out the whole calendar correctly ( from what I could tell) and then started to sync again and appointments randomly appeared and disappeared .....

Mountain Lion Calendar 'Search'

The 'Search' function in my Mountain Lion Calendar does not work. Any suggestions please?

Hmmm... Is there really no one else out there that has this problem? Because I'd think searching a calendar program by date range would be a fairly important thing to be able to do. Perhaps I'm doing it wrong? Maybe there's an FAQ somewhere?
Thanks,
Tom S.

Outlook 2011 and mountain lion calendar sync issues... resolved (kinda)

Okay... I never really post to these boards, but I'm fairly ticked off that OS X keeps tampering with MS Office and it's syncing with iTunes and, ultimately, my iPhone. Apple support tried to push me onto the iCloud, but I'm not going to use that crappy feature. After many hours of trying to fix the calendar sync issue with MS Office 2011, I found a workaround:
1. Get the apple reminders set up to recognize the OS X Calendar program.
2. Confirm that your Outlook calendar data is recognized in the OS X Calendar program (it was always there for me)
3. Install MS Office 2008 (Entourage) --- You don't have to use it, but the older program still syncs with Mountain Lion.
4. Sync your iphone with itunes and ensure that your Calendars are erased (uncheck the Calendar sync box).
5. Click on the "Replace Information on this iPhone) for Calendars.
6. Re-sync the iPhone with iTunes.
7. The data should go up with no problem.
IF you are still having problems...
1. go to OS X "Calendar" and Add a new calendar called "Home".
2. move the Outlook data to the Home calendar (just drag and drop).
3. Repeat steps 4-7 above.
Since I've done these changes, everything directly syncs.
Hope this helps, and don't lose faith. MS will come up with some type of patch.

Outlook 2011 is not compatible with iCloud, it won't work and your 'workaround' may affect iCloud clients on the same account.
Don't use 2011.

AFTER UPGRADING TO MOUNTAIN LION IMAC WON'T SHUT OFF

I have upgrade to mountain lion and update to 10.8.1 but it seems that sometimes (enough times to make me seek for help) safari won't respond . Moreover itunes refuses to turn its self off when I want to restart the computer. Any ideas what is going on with that upgrading that we have been waiting for so long and now is causing me troubles??
Thanks!

As a matter of fact a few times. Usually i let the computer sleep and take it from there when i return.

Running mountain lion, display won't sleep

Anyone else have this problem ? I don't know if its a macbook retina issue or mountain lion issue, just want to see how common it is. The screen won't turn off even after I set power preferences to turn off when idle for 2 min. When I try to force it to sleep from apple drop down menu, the screen turns black and freezes.

Hey mzmarsha91,
Thanks for the question. When troubleshooting iTunes on OS X, the following articles provide some of the best information:
iTunes: Troubleshooting issues with third-party iTunes plug-ins
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3430
There are several ways in which an add-on can cause iTunes to act erratically, such as those listed below:
- Loss of iTunes functionality, such as the Visualizer.
- Distortion or irregularity in the iTunes interface.
- Slow performance.
- iTunes won't open or quits unexpectedly.
- You see an alert while syncing stating "... cannot be synced. A duplicate file name was specified."
If you notice any of the above symptoms or other unusual behavior, you can disable any plug-ins not manufactured by Apple by opening iTunes in Safe Mode. This is done by holding down the Option and Command keys (on Mac OS X) or holding down the Shift and Control keys (on Windows) while opening iTunes. If performed correctly, you should see the following dialog before iTunes finishes starting up:
"iTunes is running in Safe Mode. Visual plug-ins you have installed have been temporarily disabled."
Isolating an issue by using another user account
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4053
Symptoms
When isolating issues and/or troubleshooting software issues in OS X, you might want to use a different user account. Learn how to use this technique to narrow down the cause of an issue.
Resolution
The issue at hand may simply be caused by a bad preference setting or user-specific data file. With proper isolation, you can avoid time-consuming and inappropriate troubleshooting methods.
Thanks,
Matt M.

Mountain Lion calendar .ics invitations don't go to date of event

Hi there,
I installed Mountain Lion recently as a stepping stone to Mavericks.
When I receive Calendar invitations in the form of .ics attachments and open them Calendar does not take me to the event.
This means that I have to trawl through Calendar trying to find the event before I can see if it clashed with anything else and accept it.
I was using Snow Leopard before and .ics files would always take me to the correct date on the Calendar.
Ant ideas on how to fix this would be greatly appreciated.
I've searched the forums for hours but not come up with anything. Possibly because I'm not entering the correct search terms? I don't know and I'm frustrated by this new foible.
Many thanks,
Richard.

After recent update to Mountain Lion, trash won't empty completely; says "item" inuse

After recent update to Mountain Lion, trash will not empty completely. Always an item left in trash, and I get message that the "item is in use." Right now, using app Trash it! to get rid of that left behind item.

Try rebuilding Trash and see if that sorts it...
Launch Terminal and copy & paste these commands:
Go to /Applications /Utilities/Terminal and launch it.
At the prompt, copy and paste this command
sudo rm -rf ~/.Trash
Press Return.
You will be asked to enter your admin password. It will be invisible.
Enter it and press Return.
Log out and back in or restart.
Let us know.

OS X Mountain Lion calendar app not syncing with iPhone 4 calendar.

After installation I noticed that my OS X calendar was not syncing with my iPhone 4 calendar running version 5.1.1. Any sugestions to fix this issue.

Please note that all my settings are exactly the same as they were in Lion. I do not use iCloud and I like to sync thru iTunes via WIFI and USB. After further research I have discovered that this issue is seems to be with Mountain Lion. Obviously, Apple needs to update iOS 5.1.1 or release a fix for Mountain Lion.

Mountain Lion Calendar problem

hey everyone
I have just upgraded to Mountain Lion, but I am having a small problem. My iphone and ipad will share calendar dates via the cloud but for some reason I cannot seem to get my mac to communiate with either so the mac will not pick up the calendar on my phone and ipad. Any advice, I realize this is probably something simple, but I am just not seeing it.

I am still having problems. Things are either really slow in showing up or not really doing so at all. I added an event on my ipad and then nothing shows up on my phone or mac, but some things that got deleted on one are gone on the others
Are old dates on the phone/ipad non-syncable and only newer dates show up? I tried this too and its not showing up
