New reminder service with Automator

Hello,
I'm stuck on trying to set up a service using Automator which would allow me to add a new reminder basically from anywhere in OSX:
I used "ask for text", followed by "new reminder item"; but I'd like it to let me add a due date and time/reminder time. Does anyone have an idea how to do that?

you need to use an automator variable and then it works.
make a new service in automator which accepts files and folders and works in finder.
the workflow in the service should be as follows
1. ask for finder items.
in this action ask for the destination folder to move items TO. control-click on that action and choose "ignore input".
add a new storage variable to the workflow and set the next action to be
2. set variable value.
this will store the destination folder in that variable.
3. add a dummy action to break the workflow chain. many things will work for this. for example, you can add a "run shell script" action which should be completely empty.
4. get selected finder items
5. move finder items
drag the storage variable you made to the "TO" field in that action.
save the service.

Right-Click Services with Automator

So I still have my Macbook Pro that I haven't upgraded but I did update my iMac to Mavericks, so far everything is working well except that I used to have a Batch Rename Service that I used quite often but now when I right click with my mouse the Batch Rename services I created with Automator doesn't show up. I tried recreating it but still nothing. I went back to my Mountain Lion laptop and it works just fine. Any ideas?

I too was having this problem. I did the following, and it seamed to get it going:
moved the service out of the services folder (~/Library/Services/) to an easy place to get to (Desktop).
In Automator, open an new document, and selcted iCould.
drag the service from the desktop to iCloud
opened it, from iCould
file -> convert to...
select service and give it a different name than the orignal.
save and exit.
service should now be available.
In my case, the service only runs on my mac hdd. I have not yet found how to get service to run on a connected drive as it did in Mountain Lion. I want to run the service on my netowrk drive from my Synology NAS box.
Hope this helps a little

Configuring a new distributed service with a key associator

Rather than specifying the key assocaitor all over my cache factory xml file I specified a new service in the tangosol-coherence-override file, copying the entry from the JAR file, giving it a new name and adding:
<init-param id="9">
<param-name>key-associator/class-name</param-name>
<param-value>com.db.fxoptions.dbmp.core.orderengine.CcyPairAssociator</param-value>
</init-param>
There is no exception, but basically it doesnt seem to work. I also changed some other init-params but they dont seem to take.
Anyone ideas?

Mark,
I would suggest sending your configuration file and the CcyPairAssociator implementation to our support team using Oracle Metalink.

Saving changed services in Automator with a new name.

Under SnowLeopard I could open an existing workflow, make some changes to it and save it as a new workflow service. In Lion there is no SAVE AS, so this procedure doesn't work.
I tried duplicating the workflow in the Finder and renaming it and opening it in Automator. The problem is; after making the changes and saving it, Services show it with the original name. That means both the original file and the duplicated/renamed file show up with the same name.
Is Automator creating an internal name for the file that can't be changed?
I had a service that moved files from one location to another. I created 5 duplicates of it and renamed them with the new location as part of I wanted to move file to. I made the changes to each with the new location as the place to move the selected files.
Now Services show six services with the original name and none with the new names.
Is anyone else having the same problem? I wish there were a way to force applications to do a SAVE AS.
I have also noticed that the DUPLICATE TO... doesn't give you an option to have to duplicated a new name.

For me the following works:
Open the servce you want to modify in Automator.
In Automator duplicate the workflow with File -> Duplicate.
Edit the duplicate.
Save it with File -> Save. You will be prompted for a new name.
Install the new service in ~/Library/Services and remove the old version.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board.

I have a problem with my motherboard and my battery of my 2010 macbook pro 13". It was just serviced with a new screen, keyboard, and logic board. How much will a new battery and motherboard cost and would it be worth it or should I just get a new computer. It was about 300 dollars to get it serviced last week. if it adds up to much past 600 dollars I will just get a new one. THANKS FOR ANY HELP!
P.S During classes today it began beeping in my bag. Like three kind of long steady beeps then a short pause, and when I opened it I couldn't see anything but it was on so I turned it off and back on.

Depends on what options your Apple store offers - if they can do a depot repair (where they send it out), that's around $300 for all parts & labor.
If the store doesn't have that option, a logicboard is around $600, battery $80-$100, from what I've seen.
If they JUST replaced the logicboard, you absolutely should NOT have to pay for another replacement - the replacement is covered by a warranty. If they want you to pay for it, make sure you have a copy of the receipt for the work that was recently completed so you can show it to them. They have no reason to charge you for another logicboard.

How to copy contents of folder into new folder with Automator?

What is the simplest, fastest Automator workflow to copy the contents of a folder into a new folder? And without using 3rd party actions.
I have a template folder structure called .ProjectFolder (to keep it invisible) so I need to copy the contents of this folder into a new folder, preferably with the ability to name the new folder on the fly. I don't want to use 3rd party actions because this is something I then need to maintain. Thanks.

Oracle guru,

PierreI will call it a very Wrong design.
It is a wrong Table Design. You are duplicating the data in table and not complying with the Database Normalization rules.
How about Verifying if Column A & B are NULL before inserting and inserting another row and avoiding it in Triggers?
If you are bent to achieve this, below code might be helpful. However, I would never go with this approach. If you would care about explaining the reason for going ahead with such a data model, people could suggest better alternative that might conform with Normalization rules.
create or replace trigger trg_test_table
after insert on test_table
for each row
declare
pragma autonomous_transaction;
begin
if :new.col_a is null and :new.col_b is null then
    insert into test_table
    select 2, systimestamp, col_a, col_b
      from test_table
     where pk_col = (select max(pk_col) from test_table b where b.pk_col < :new.pk_col);
end if;
commit;
end trg_test_table;Read SQL and PL/SQL FAQ and post the mentioned details.

Configuring New Oracle Database with HFM Shared Services

Hi,
We have upgrated the oracle database to new version 11g. We are using HFM 11.1.1.3 version. When I tried to configure the new oracle database with existing HFM Shared Services, the EPM Configurator hangs. Please could you clarify the below few questions before start configuring the database.
1. Do we want edit any properties or configuration files before starting the EPM Configurator?
2. If we want to edit the reg.properties file, what is the password denotes in reg.properties file(Below is the structure of the reg.properties file)? Whether I need to give Oracle database schema password?
jdbc.url=jdbc\:hyperion\:oracle\://xxxxx;
password=?
jdbc.driver=hyperion.jdbc.oracle.OracleDriver
local.value=####
username=schemaname
Thanks,
Aravindh K

Is it a new database server you are trying to configure? As if it was just upgraded then you shouldnt need to do anything.
If it is a new database server then have a read of the following doc in Oracle Support - "How To Change Shared Services Database Repository in EPM 11 [ID 976279.1]"

I was not given the option to purchase applecare + with iPhone 5.I tried calling Apple customer service, the automated process took my info but then came back and said too busy to help you now. How can I buy it now?

You should call Apple but you should get an email from Apple. I got one a few minutes ago and this is what they said about AppleCare+ :
Thank you for your recent iPhone 5 purchase at the Apple Store.
We would like to let you know that every iPhone comes with one year of hardware repair coverage through its limited warranty and up to 90 days of complimentary support. AppleCare+ for iPhone extends your coverage to two years from the original purchase date of your iPhone and adds up to two incidents of accidental damage coverage, each subject to a $49 service fee.
We noticed you weren't given the opportunity to add AppleCare+ to your iPhone. If you would like to extend your coverage for only $99, please reply to this email by September 21st.
After that date, if you would still like to purchase AppleCare+ within the first thirty days of receiving your iPhone, you can call AppleCare at 800-MY-IPHONE or visit an Apple Retail Store.
Thank you for shopping with Apple.
Sincerely,
Apple Online Store Team

theres been discussions on 'unlocking the phone' do you think this could make it operate with my sim card?
Like you mentioned, she bought it from the Vodafone store and most likely the phone is locked to Vodafone. But, in your case since you are using the same carrier's SIM card (Vodafone), "unlocking the phone" is not an issue. Aside from that "phone unlocking" is ONLY done by the carrier and Vodafone NZ doesn't offer unlocking. (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1937)
As you have already tried restoring the phone (which technically wasn't required) and SIM change, your best option is to take the phone to Vodafone store and ask them to activate it for you.

When I first bought it, it was meant to use all the services provided by Great Apple including the new LTE service as a main service for such device. Now I just realize that such service does not match with the model I have ... Pease advise ..

Greetings,
I hope this email finds you well. I bought my iPhone on December 1st, 2012 with a track order W459517623. When I first bought it, it was meant to use all the services provided by Great Apple including the new LTE service as a main service for such device. Now I just realize that such service does not match with the model I have, as per this link:
http://www.apple.com/iphone/LTE/
Model A1429
(GSM model)
Saudi Arabia - Mobily
The model Apple sent is A1428
I believe that such service should be provided to my devices too. Also, Apple always find best ways to solve such queries.
Please advise me
Thank you and Regards,
Abdulrahman

I'm assuming you bought it via the Apple Online store. Contact them. Use the Contact Us link at the bottom of the page. Did you buy the phone from the store in the country you intend to USE the iPhone? If you bought the phone in the US store and intend to use it OUTSIDE the US, you only have yourself to blame, as they shipped the CORRECT phone for use in the US.

Using the new Data/Services generation with server push

Have moved my Flex/BlazeDS app (which uses Blaze AMFChannel for request/response messages and StreamingAMFChannel for server push messaging) from Flex Builder 3 to Flash Builder 4. The new Data/Services works fine to generate service classes and value objects for the request/response messages, question is can it provide any help setting up a messaging consumer and value objects for the pushed data?

I am so sorry - I meant AirPort Express - not extreme - but it's moot since I missed the point of your post - you want two outputs - and one to not be digital.
For what it's worth - I still think the express might be your best bet.
http://www.apple.com/airportexpress/airtunes.html
It has combined digital/analog out - you plug in one and it switches the output depending on which connection is inserted. I would expect a very short wait until everything accepts digital input - expecially for people who want good sound quality. If you have to go digital to analog outside of the receiver/amp (where it really belongs) - why not let it be the express sitting right next to where you want the second "receiver" to be...

According to your error message, it can be caused by the search service application cannot set up a network share for every query component where the crawlers can dump their data.

Is this feasible with Automator?

I am tasked with the project of making it possible for Mac users in an office to create several folders and documents automatically, at the click of a mouse, if you will. Can this be done with Automator? If not, any recommendations on how to make this happen?
Example:
Law office has a new client. By simple act of automation, it would be great if a folder was created with the clients' name, followed by a subfolders, with boiler plate documents inside them that are used in every case, such as contracts, introductory letters, motions, etc. Even more ideal, it would be great to have a checklist of all the steps that is generated, and even more ideal, would be great if the user could choose the type of case, and have folders and letters generated based on the choice of which kind of case.
Is this possible?

It is possible - a service can be used to run a workflow with folders selected in a Finder window. There are a few ways to create the folder structures, one would be to use a previously created template and copy that to the new client folder - I have written an Automator action that does just that:
The Copy Folder Structure action can be downloaded here.

Help with Automator to copy text from multiple files

Hello,
I'm new to automator and applescript but it seems like what I'm trying to accomplish is fairly easy.
I'd like to run a workflow that will open a text file, copy the contents, paste the contents into a given application and then take a screenshot.
I'd like to be able to do this for several hundred text files.
I've tried with a Service but can't figure out how to provide the text input after "Get Specified Finder Items".
Get Specified Finder Items --> Get Contents of TextEdit Document --> Copy to Clipboard --> results in no data.

You'll need to use Applescript (you could use the Automator Run Applescript Action).
set recipientAddress to do shell script "cat <filename.txt>"
set theSubject to "Type your subject here!"
set theContent to "Type your message content here!"
tell application "Mail"
activate
          set theMessage to make new outgoing message with properties {subject:theSubject, content:theContent, visible:true}
          tell theMessage
make new to recipient with properties {address:recipientAddress}
-- Uncomment send to Send the Message:
-- send
          end tell
end tell
