Problems with OSX Yosemite and iCal not running workflows to back up documents folder.

I am trying to get my workflow I created to automatically back up to a SD Flash card I have in my Macbook Pro. I have the workflow set up as an event on iCal but all the forums I have seen say to set the alert as "run the script" and I do not have that option. In order for me to run my workflow I manually have to go into automator and run it. Plus many times when I want the program to run, my computer is sleeping/closed. Any Ideas on how to get this process running automatically?
Thanks!

http://www.macworld.com/article/1157339/automate_backup.html is the link I used originally for the workflow.
I just tried what you said in making the workflow into an application and then use it to run as an iCal alarm. The application works great when I manually select it, but iCal still will not open it when it is set to open that specific application at the alarm time.

Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite: Magic Mouse and Keyboard

Hello everyone,
I've a problem on my MacBook Pro with Retina Display 13" (late 2013).
I've always used it plugged with an external monitor (I love double screen), magic mouse and bluetooth keyboard. On Mavericks everything was perfect with this setup.
Yesterday I installed OSX Yosemite and I've found a boring problem: my Magic Mouse and my Bluetooth Keyboard have a 0.5 second of latency, lag. This happen when the Macbook is not plugged with battery charger. When he is on charge, the problem don't exist.
I noticed this bug also on the public beta of this summer and submit the feedback.
I hoped that they fixed this before release but the bug is still here.
How can i solve this boring problem?

I also reported this issue again and again during each beta release.
This makes the MacBook basically unusable in battery power for doing any kind of design and coding work.
I don't have any bluetooth addons or third party utilities. I also tried clearing PRAMs, and reinstalling Yosemite, to no avail.
Here are some threads about the issue, which, I'm noticing, is common.

Note that while the issue is kind of tolerable using the mouse, it's tragic with the keyboard.
Does this prevent you from using OS X Yosemite?
The issue makes it very difficult for me to use OS X Yosemite

Wifi problem with OSX Yosemite

I owned my first 13 inch MBP Late 2011 that came with OSX Lion. I upgraded my MBP with every new OSX releases and were very pleased with them.
With OSX Yosemite, I was very happy with the fresh new feel and looks of it. The problem with the new OSX it that my wifi connection suffers from it. The speed are getting slower and slower and the connection often drop off unexpectedly. The worst thing of all is that I can't connect to my windows phone wifi sharing. This doesn't happen with the previous OSXes. Please rectify this problem as soon as possible. Thank you.

Fixed a problem with OSX-Logic and a MOTU 828MkII

I was having problems with my 828MkII using it with a new G5 and OS10.3.9. There were massive drop-outs.
It was a new computer and everything was installed correctly and cleanly - there was no other hardware installed other than the MOTU, and no other software other than Logic 7 - everything was done properly and tested over and over, but the problem persisted.
I still had my old G4 with an older OS9 version of Logic, and when I went back to try the MOTU with this set up, it worked flawlessly. This fact made me suspect that the core audio driver was the problem, so I tried all the tricks I've seen in forums - reset the MOTU - uninstalled and re-installed. Upgraded my firmware. Even tried OS10.4 with old drivers new drivers, and still nothing worked.
Then out of desperation I tried a new firewire cable and everything worked fine.
I went back and tried the set up on my OS9 machine a few times and the MOTU worked flawlessly under the Asio2 drivers. What I learned is that OSX and core audio must use firewire differently because the cable did not work with that set up.
I couldn't believe it. It's like finding out that a guitar cable only works with a Les Paul or something wierd like that.
I'm sure someone out there must know the technical difference and why this cable works fine under OS9 (Asio2) but not OSX (core audio).
I'm posting this because if I had read such a post - I would have tried a new cable as the first thing - but I had myself convinced that it could not be the cable. I still don't believe it. ! Luckily it was the cheapest fix.
Scott.

Same thing happened here when I check all items to install at once.
After the installation failure , L7,L8,Waveburner .. everything unexpectedly quit then I decided to replace the entire OS to cloned back up.
I tried the installation again and xxxx happened again. This time, I installed only applications (overwritten) again and it fixed the problem.
Then I installed only JamPack on FW and went smoothly.
I called Apple Tech and now I am waiting for the new installer DVDs of Audio contents only by regular mail.
Hey, do we have similar serial number?? Apple script got damaged or something? I have no idea.

Disabling iCloud, problems with Address Book and iCal.

Ok, I made the mistake of turning on iCloud before knowing much about it or really needing it. I just have a MBP and no other devices. So, I now have iCal and Address Book connected to iCloud. I've tried to disable it but have not had success. I export my data files for both and when I import the data back... the iCloud part comes with it. What is so strange is that I can add events to iCal and iCal works without a glitch. But, I can't make ANY changes to my Address Book. It doesn't save any and Address Book just crawls along at a snails pace as if it is broken. I believe this all started because I activated iCloud. I'm NOT syncing it to any other device so I don't need it.
Are these problems because of iCloud or because I exported/imported onto a new install? I'm using a different user name on my same computer... but the iCloud account has no changes.
I'm just confused as to what to do. My Address Book goes so slow and I can't edit it. I don't need iCloud, etc. I try to turn it all off and that solves nothing. I try to export / import my data file to my desktop and back after turning iCloud off and this solves nothing. iCloud just comes back with that data. What should probably be a simple task I can't solve.

Please let me know if this works for you guys, it was a lifesaver for me!

Bluetooth problem with OSX Yosemite

Hi,
I just installed Yosemite on my MacBook Pro MD101LL/A 13.3-Inch and I can't connect my Magic Mouse or my Big Jambox speaker through bluetooth.
Is there a way to fix this issue?
Thanks in advance.

Bluetooth Connect Reconnect Problem / Solution Workaround for Yosemity: (Summary: Try 'Turn Wifi Off' to wake up Bluetooth!!!)
If you can not connect/reconnect your bluetooth devices, try "Turn Wifi Off". It seems to 'wake up' the bluetooth and then my devices reconnect.
In my case, after sleep/wake of my MacBook, my bluetooth keyboard would NOT reconnect. When I 'Turn Wifi Off" my bluetooth starts working again immediately and my bluetooth keyboard immediately reconnects. I read on some non-Apple.com forum that sometimes 'Turn Wifi Off' on yosemite makes bluetooth start working again. Other times, 'Turn Off Wifi' followed by 'Turn On Wifi' makes bluetooth start working again.
In my case, whenever I can not get my bluetooth devices to connect/reconnect to my MacBook, I simply "Turn Wifi Off" and it immediately reconnects.
Good luck.
P.S. I'm guessing that with the 'Handoff a.k.a. Continuity' enhancements to Yosemeti, which use Bluetooth to dynamically enable iOS devices to coordinate workflows with MacBooks, that Handoff's dynamic explolitation of bluetooth behind the scenes, which is a new style of load usage on Bluetooth, that it has messed up the way Bluetooth is managed in Yosemite. I'm guessing that Apple is aware of this and will fix it eventually. Until then, "Turn Off Wifi" seems to do the trick for me when I want to 'wakee up' my MacBook's bluetooth and get my external devices connected normally.

Problems with cached previews and File Not Found errors in preview and build

I am having serious issues with Encore CS5.
When I try and build a preview or disk/image I am getting File Not Found errors. I have emptied the media cache in the preferences but my project still seems to be referencing previously cached files or rendered menus. Is there any way to manually delete previous previews or the cache. I know that there are no missing files in my project. Any help would be very much appreciated.
I am running Mac OS 10.6.4 and Encore 5.0

Syncing problems with BB 8320 and lotus notes

Hi everybody.
I have recently acquired a brand new 8320 BB.
But when I start the configured syncing for my contacts, I get an error message telling me that the database cannot be found .
The paths indicated "C:\Program Files\lotus\notes\data\names.nsf" does well exist !
It works fine with outlook but no more with Lotus Notes.
Has anyone an idea ?
Thanks in advance

I tried to change the name of my device and now I cant sync anything and it says there is a problem with the disk and when I changed the name back it still said the same thing so I restored my ipod (not from itunes but on the ipod itsself)

And now its saying my ipod is corrupt. None of my stuff was erased from itunes it was only erased from my ipod so why am I not able to just sync everything back onto my ipod? why is it doing this now? I think this is ridiculous that just changing one name would do this much damage.

There is a backup plan after doing the Restore. Read this.

Open your Applications folder then open the Utilities folder. It should be there.
If not, click the magnifying glass icon top right corner of your screen. That's Spotlight.

I have had this problem for close to a year. I have an Extreme base station, two Airport Express's and multiple G4 Mac's with up to date software. I have spent a huge amount of time trouble shooting, resetting, reapplying software and finally calling Applecare without any help. It would be great to get this problem solved.
