Calendar Alarm Open FIle not working in Mountain Lion

Recently upgraded my mac mini server to 10.8.2 Mountain Lion. I need it to open a particular Filemaker file every morning, and close the application every night. Used to have a simple alarm in iCal set to do this with Open File and then a very simple Automator script to close the program at a scheduled time, also in iCal. Worked fine. Now, in trying to recreate this, it doesn't work - I make the scripts, and if I set them for a time I can test them (ie. 5 minutes from now), they work as planned, but they will not function on their own at the scheduled time. I thought it might be going to sleep, so I set Energy Saver to Never go to sleep, unchecked "Put hard disks to sleep when possible", and checked "Wake for network access". Still not working. Any thoughts? Any idea how to even troubleshoot this?

I thought I was on to something, but then I re-read your post and saw that you've successfully tested your scripts in Calendar. So, all I've got left to offer is a silly question: has the calendar been set to ignore alerts? I ask because just within the last few days I created an Automator calendar alarm, tested it successfully (in the same fashion as you), and set it off to run on its merrily-scheduled way, only to discover it wasn't firing on its own. Like you, I double-checked my Energy Saver settings and it looked like things should work just fine. What I finally found was that at some point during all my testing and fiddling I'd ticked the "Ignore alerts" box for the calendar, and that's what was keeping my script from firing.

Why is iCal "Open File" not working?

I have created an Automator application called "MyActions" that works correctly when I click on it in my Application section.
I am trying to get this application to run once a week using the iCal "Open File" alert.
I have set up an event that repeats every Monday at 7:30am and I have set up an alert that opens the file "MyActions" 1 minute after the event, but it does not appear as though the application runs.
Help appreciated.
Regards,
-jP

It appeared that it just took some time before Calendar actually got around to the event that had the "Open File" instruction.
I did confirm that I created an application and not a workflow. Thanks for the sanity check.

"open file" Not working with Photoshop CS2

System
MAc Pro Dual Quad 3Ghz, OS X 10.5.2
I have a script that I wrote a while ago to take a series of individual bitmaps and compile them into a strip for access inanothe application. Script used to work well....
I tried to use the script today but ran into a brick wall when trying to open files from within the script.
below is an example of a script that will not work at all,
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
open file "AV:logo:rot0001.png"
end tell
I normally pass the function a variable for the filenames...but the above script should work fine.. but flatly refuses to !
Below is the Error returned.
Adobe Photoshop CS2 got an error: General Photoshop error occurred.
- The object “current document” is not currently available.
Arghhhh Help !!

Chris

Hello
Perhaps your script used to work under pre-OSX10.5 (AppleScript 1.x) but now fails under OSX10.5 (AppleScript 2.x)?
If so, the most likely cause is the drastic change in internal text handling between them. In AS2.x, internal text is Unicode only, which might prevent PSCS2 from resolving 'file path_string' descriptor (when path_string is assumed to be plain 'string', not Unicode text).
Try the following code instead -
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
open ("AV:logo:rot0001.png" as alias)
end tell
Or -
set a to "AV:logo:rot0001.png" as alias
tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS2"
open a
end tell
Hope this may help,

Application files not working...please help.

I have an imac g3 400MHz when i start it up it goes through its normal starting phases but without any error messages and when the color screen pops up , it freezes so the only way i can start the computer is with extensions off. Once their any application file i try to open does not work but i do get messages that read for example:"The application "Apple DVD Player" could not be opened because "ControlStripLib" could not be found". Other messages read similiarly. Can you offer any suggestions or do you require further information about my problem?
Thanks.
Rob Arrona
imac g3 400mhz Mac OS 9.0.x

Open the Servers folder inside the System Folder and throw away anything that you don't recognize, and restart your computer normally. If the issue persists, open the Extensions Manager control panel, turn off half of your extensions, and restart the machine. Repeat the process of turning off half of the remaining extensions and restarting until you've narrowed down the extension causing your issue.
The messages about items not being found are due to the extensions not being loaded.

"Can't open file - not a valid pdf"

Hi,
This seems to have been asked before but I can't find an answer!!
I have a small app that i use for work which essentially just links to pdfs stored on a wordpress site
All has been working well until recently when android phones can no longer open the files - they get a "can't open file - not a valid pdf file" message
It seems to happen with many but not all the files. Some examples of problematic ones are:
http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/transfusionmajorhaemorrhagecompressed. pdf
http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2014/02/aagbi_la_toxicitycompress.pdf
http://uhbsosguidelines.files.wordpress.com/2015/01/anaphylaxis-under-anaesthesiaupdated02 14compresresave.pdf
Oddly, it seems only to be a problem when trying to open directly from the link in the app into adobe reader. If you download the file onto the phone THEN open it in Reader it works fine!
As I say, this seems to be a recent problem - has been working perfectly up until now.
I'd really appreciate it if you have any thoughts / suggestions - I don't want to have to ask all the users to install a different PDF reader app!

Thanks for reporting the issue. We have been able to reproduce it at our end and shall let you know when this gets fixed in one of the future releases.
Thanks,
Adobe Reader Team

Sounds like your phone was hacked to use with your carrier. Updating it has relocked the phone to it's original carrier. You will not get the phone working again without a SIM from the original carrier.

Edge.oam animation file not working in Muse

Anybody tell me what I'm doing wrong?
I've created an edge animation, published an .oam file and placed it on a Muse wepage (no prob).
Preview in Muse works beautifully.
Preview in browser from Muse works beautifully.
Export Muse to HTML and Edge animation not displaying – looked at the code, shows an iframe with link to edge html, but just not working.
...help please

Someone please help me with this... I dont understand where the src path should point to when updated? Can you give an example path. I am not using edge animate but instead HYPE 3 which is relatively the same thing, exports html animations as an OAM or html file. When I use the OAM in muse it previews fine in browser and in Muse. But when I publish it shows a blank box. I looked at the code and see the iframe pointing to assets/example/example.html.
I've tried exporting the Muse file as HTML after I've placed the OAM widget in Muse.. Then I navigate to the assets file and open the HTML file and try and locate the iframe code line but it does NOT exist. But if i Publish the site with Muse and OAM widget and use the developers tools I can see the iframe. After that I've tried going through filezilla to the assets folder and opening the HTML file but still NO iframe code line exists. I only find src for .js code.
PLEASE HELP... would really like to integrate these animations into my projects.
Thanks

Delete Dataset File not working

Hi All,
I am trying to delete file from application server (AL11) directory after processing using DELETE DATASET FILE is not working , after processing also file still exists.
My code is like this,
*&      Form backup_file
      The file has been processed. Go ahead and copy it to the
      backup directory and delete it from the processing directory.
FORM backup_file .
DATA: lv_oldfile TYPE string,
        lv_backup TYPE string,
        l_rc TYPE i.
IF p_appl = 'X'. "Unix file
    lv_oldfile = wa_files-filename.
Replace the directory name with the backup directory.
    REPLACE p_dir IN wa_files-filename WITH p_back.
Tack date/time onto the end of the file name to avoid duplicate
files
    CONCATENATE wa_files-filename
                sy-datum
                sy-uzeit
              INTO wa_files-filename.
    OPEN DATASET wa_files-filename FOR OUTPUT

    IF sy-subrc NE 0.
      f_backup_error = 'X'.
      EXIT.
    ELSE.
    Write the file contents to the new backup file.
      LOOP AT itab_input INTO wa_input.
        TRANSFER wa_input TO wa_files-filename.
      ENDLOOP.
    ENDIF.
Close the backup file.
    CLOSE DATASET wa_files-filename.
Delete the original file from the processing directory.
if sy-subrc = 0.
    DELETE DATASET lv_oldfile.
endif.
endform.
Thanks Everyone!

HI,
You have to check the value of Sy-subrc after the delete statement,
and the value present in the variable lv_oldfile that if there is correct
value in the variable populated or not.
Moreover after assigning the value to variable lv_oldfile in the step
lv_oldfile = wa_files-filename.
then you should use this variable lv_oldfile only for open dataset and close dataset also.
Hope ir helps

JRE7Update25 Deployment Properties File Not Working And Cant Disable Next Gen Plugin

Good Day
Our organisation needs to deploy JRE7U25 to over 4000 workstations. Our desktops are running the following Windows and IE combinations:
WinXP 32 Bit/IE7
WinXP 32 Bit/IE8
Win7 32 Bit/IE8
Win7 32 Bit/IE9
Win7 64 Bit/IE8
Win7 64 Bit/IE8
We use the 32bit JRE installer across all environments and all IE browsers use 32Bit IE. On all of our environments the Deployment.properties and config files no longer work due to what appears to be a bug in the JRE7U25 installer. Our deployment files are as follows:
Deployment.config
deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
Deployment.properties
deployment.security.level=MEDIUM
deployment.security.level.locked=
deployment.javaws.autodownload=NEVER
deployment.javaws.autodownload.locked=
deployment.security.mixcode=HIDE_RUN
deployment.security.mixcode.locked=
deployment.console.startup.mode=HIDE
deployment.console.startup.mode.locked=
Both files are being copied to the following location:
C:\Windows\Sun\Java\Deployment
After the installer runs and deployment files are copied to the workstation the deployment.properties and config files look like this:
Deployment.config
deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
Deployment.properties
#System Deployment Properties
#Mon Jul 01 12:29:20 CAT 2013
deployment.security.level=MEDIUM
I have tried changing the deployment.config file as follows in an attempt to fix this to no avail:
1. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
2. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
3. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
4. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
5. deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
None of the above mentioned works. So all our required settings in the deployment.properties file are being overwritten when opening the Java console? Our other major problem is that Changing the registry key to 0 in order to disable the next generation plugin does not disable the next generation plugin in Jre at the usual location as it worked for us machine wide (across multiple profiles for JRE6U29):
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\JavaSoft\Java Plug-in\10.25.2]
"UseNewJavaPlugin"=dword:00000000
^^I have observed on a fresh install of JRE7U25 that the above mentioned registry key no longer exists in this version so a computer wide disablement of this option is no longer possible via the registry.
On our 32Bit and 64bit machines running the 32 bit JRE 7U25 client when we disable the next generation plugin it keeps enabling itself again. Even when we run the javacpl.exe to run as administrator by changing the compatibility settings and disabling the next generation plugin it enables itself again. This is a huge problem for us because our company Oracle web based applications need this plugin to be disabled in order to run the apps properly.
These are major obstacles for our deployment as we desperately require assistance or any advice in addressing these issues as there appear to be numerous bugs with the JRE7U25 release. Thank you in advance.
Update 7 July 2013:
I have observed that if you have the following options in your Deployment.config file it doesn't allow our java webstart apps which use jnlp extensions to run.
1. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
2. deployment.system.config=C:\\WINDOWS\\Sun\\Java\\Deployment\\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
3. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=true
4. deployment.system.config=C:\WINDOWS\Sun\Java\Deployment\deployment.properties
    deployment.system.config.mandatory=false
The jnlp file association is also broken on Windows XP workstations with JRE7U25. We are having to manually associate the .jnlp file extension with javaws.exe on workstation for Web start apps or else users cannot lauch JRE whn clicking on .jnlp links.
The only Deployment.config syntax which allows our Webstart applications to run is as follows:
deployment.system.config=file\:C\:/WINDOWS/Sun/Java/Deployment/deployment.properties
What a mess!

I don't have an answer to the problem, but I am having problems with the system level deployment.properties file and IE9 on Windows 7 32/64bit.
Starting with version 13, the IE plugin seems to igonore the system level deployment.properties file in favor of the user level deployment.properties file. When I open the Java Control Panel, the settings are correct per the system deployment.properties file. Currently to get the Java Plugin to work reliably in IE9 I have to set the following:
_JAVA_OPTIONS = -Djava.net.preferIPv4Stack=true
Disable caching
Set the proxy to Direct Connection.
If I set the _JAVA_OPTIONS as an environment variable and the other two in the system deployment.properties file, Firefox works fine, but IE wont load either of the Java tests. If I removed the system deployment.properties files and configure the user deployment.properties file, both IE and Firefox work fine.
I find it interesting that if I set the configuration through the control panel, then apply the system deployment.propteries file, the user deployment.properties file reverts to defaults when the system file is removed.

Link to named anchor in current file not working

Links to named anchors are not working at this particular site. Works with Konqueror.
Go to this web site: http://www.kusc.org/playlist/
Right below the calendar displays is a section "Playing this Hour" and below is list hours for AM and PM. You should be able to click one of the hours and page should skip down to that hour in the playlist. This doesn't work with FIREFOX 7. Has not work since FIREFOX 5 or 6 at least. Works with other browsers.
Executing FIREFOX 7.0 on openSUSE 11.4. Mouseover shows the link as an anchor with #. Although, the referenced page is not the same. But again, this works with Konqueror on Linux and IE on Windows.

Something to do with your coding. The page we opens is HTML not a PDF file. When we click on the links, it opens the PDF. I can see that destination tag along with the URL and the PDF is properly bookmarked. So check ur code.
