Repeat action multiple times

Is there a simple way to repeat an action x times? I am aware than I can assign a hotkey or make an action that plays other actions, but I'd like a simple way to repeat 10, 100, or 1000 times.

You can create a new Action, and then call that original Action as many times, as you want.
I would also assume that with scripting, you might even be able to do similar, but have the ability to type in the number of times that the Action is performed. This would be a good question to ask in the PS Scripting Forum.
Good luck,
Hunt

Please help.....Repeating text multiple times

Hello,
how can I repeat text several times and put it into a circle with the words continuously repeated into the circle if that makes sense.

Hi Carlos,
Please see link below:

Big trouble with using Find/Move/Rename Actions multiple times

Hi~
I have a folder with a lot of JPGs in it.
For simplification, let's say this folder contains exactly 1000 JPGs. The JPGs have been renamed numerically 1 through 1000 while still preserving the original order the JPGs came in straight out of Camera.
I want to separate the JPGs by putting them into different folders (i.e. "untitled folder 1", "untitled folder 2", "untitled folder 3", etc.). I want to put 20 JPGs in each folder. The first folder will contain original JPGs 1-20, the second folder will contain original JPGs 21-40, the third will have original JPGs 41-60, ...and the last folder (untitled folder 50) will have original JPGs 981-1000.
I also want to rename all of the JPGs in each folder numerically, 1 through 20. For example, untitled folder 3 will contain original JPGs 41-60, but I want to rename them to 1 through 20. This is very important - the original order must be preserved. As an example, let's look at untitled folder 3 with JPGs 41-60. "41.JPG" must be renamed as "1.JPG", "42.JPG" must be renamed as "2.JPG" ... "60.JPG" must be renamed as "20.JPG".
I want this to continue until I have 50 separate folders, with each containing 20 JPGs, all of which are sequentially numbered 1 through 20 while still preserving the original order.
I gave this a try on Automator with no solid results. The sequence of actions I put together were as follows:
1. Get Specified Finder Items (JPGs 1-20 from the folder containing the 1000 original JPGs)
2. Move Finder Items (to the new folder: untitled folder 1)
3. Get Specified Finder Items (original JPGs 1-20 that are now in untitled folder 1)
4. Rename Finder Items (The settings for rename are as follows: Make Sequential, Add number to = "new name", "item name" is deleted and then I press return, Place number = "before name", Start numbers at = "1", separated by = "nothing", and the rename Example looks like "1.xxx"
These setups are repeated again for JPGs 21-40, and again for 41-60. Importantly, I modify each action to make sure it gets the correct JPGs from the correct folder.
I wrote the action to last for the first 60 JPGs (I wanted to test it before writing the rest of it, which would take a long time!)
The results I got are as follows:
-Original JPGs 1 through 60 have been removed from the originals folder containing the 1000 Original JPGs. (so far so good)
-Original JPGs 1-20 from the originals folder have been moved to "untitled folder 1" and renamed 21-40 (not good... I wanted them to stay the same: 1-20)
-Original JPGs 21-40 were moved to "untitled folder 2" and were correctly renamed 1-20. Then, these were unexpectedly moved a second time to "untitled folder 3" (not good).
-Original JPGs 41-60 were moved to "untitled folder 3" and were renamed as 21-40.
Summary:
The final result was that Untitled folder 1 contained original JPGS 1-20, incorrectly renamed to 21-40. Untitled folder 2 is empty. Untitled folder 3 contains original JPGs 21-60. Original JPGs 21-40 were correctly renamed 1-20, whereas JPGs 41-60 were incorrectly renamed 21-40.
I feel like I have reached the limit of my knowledge with Automator, so I need your help!
Thank you very much for at least reading this!
~Michael

First, be careful of the forum you post in - there are Automator forums for both Tiger and Leopard. Your profile shows you running Leopard, but this reply would apply to Tiger as well.
Most actions return the results from whatever it is that they do - in the case of Move Finder Items, the action returns the items that it moved. In your example workflow, when you follow the move action with the Get Specified Finder Items, you double up the list of items to rename, so there is some extra renaming going on. Most actions have an option to ignore the input from the previous action, but getting rid of the Get Specified Finder Items action from your workflow should clear things up.
Automator will work for your workflow if there aren't too many items, but if you really have thousands of files you might have better luck with an AppleScript.

When i hold down a key it doesn't let me repeat it multiple times

On ichat, if i want to type a letter such as "hhhhhhhhhhhh" many times, it doesn't allow me to. It only gives me the option to add an accent to the letter. This is bothersome to me, how can I turn this off?
Please help!

Just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

just bought a new iphone4 and was loading os6 and now it won't turn on. the apple glows like it is starting up, then the screen goes black and then repeats the same process over and over. i have tried to reboot multiple times now

I am assuming the phone was working prior to you installing IOS 6? Did you use itunes to install IOS 6 or just run from the phone?
When I tried to do the Over The Air update to IOS6 on my iPhone 4, it errored out and I had to connect it to iTunes and select "Restore" from the summary screen after iTunes finds the phone is connected. If this works for you, it will go through a couple of reboots that take a few minutes to complete. It should then give you the option to start with a fresh new phone or to use one of your previous backups to load your contacts and other information, provided you have backed up the phone previously.
I hope this helps you my friend!

Action Listener Method called multiple times

I have a page (fragment .jsff), containing a simple input text and a button called "search". When I click on "Search" the action listener is triggered multiple times. (The results are displayed in a table inside a panel collection).
The results are actually coming back ok.
When I debug the code, I can see the action listener method called twice.
Do you know why is that?
What should I be taking care of?
This is my code :
*** Fragment ****

actionListener="#{UserDetailsBean.searchUsersListener}"
disabled="#{!bindings.searchUsers.enabled}"/>
*** Managed bean ***

Hi,
Can you try this?
1. set partialSubmit=true for the "search" button
2. set "search" button id as partialTrigger in your result table

DB Adapter repeating first child record multiple times

We are using DB Apdater in BPEL process with master and child relationship setup using wizard. Correct XSD is generated. However when we execute webservice, 1st child record is repeated multiple times (based on total child records) Other child records are not showing in XML.
We are facing this issue in both 11.1.1.7.0 and 12c

Hi Mahesh,
Can you post your xsd and the sample xml which you got as output. Also, explain what is your expectation in the output.

HT201274 when contents are erased, is this a one-time action or is it possible to perform erase contents multiple times?

is "erase contents" a one-time action or can it be performed multiple times?

If the "new user"/thief restores the device as new, which he or she will have to do in order to get the iPad up and running, it will not be your iPad anymore anyway, because they will set it up with their own ID and you wouldn't be able to track it a second time.
Find My iPad/iPhone would be tied to your Apple ID. They will no longer be using your ID on their "new" iPad.

My address bar section repeats multiple times

My address bar repeats multiple times.
I have screen shot i would like to provide that will show my exact problem.
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== Not sure

Hello Scott.
Please upload a screenshot, if it's possible.
In any case, you may be having a problem with some Firefox add-on that is hindering your Firefox's normal behavior. Have you tried disabling all add-ons (just to check), to see if Firefox goes back to normal?
Whenever you have a problem with Firefox, whatever it is, you should make sure it's not coming from one of your installed add-ons, be it an extension, a theme or a plugin. To do that easily and cleanly, run Firefox in [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Safe+Mode safe mode] and select ''Disable all add-ons''. If the problem disappears, you know it's from an add-on. Disable them all in normal mode, and enable them one at a time until you find the source of the problem. See [http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes this article] for information about troubleshooting extensions and theme. You can troubleshoot plugins the same way.
If you want support for one of your add-ons, you'll need to contact its author.

Repeating the same region multiple times

Hi,
We have requirement where the same region gets repeated multiple times depending on the data.
Functionally: QA -- Question Area , it has couple of questions
Supplier1 has 1 QA assigned . Then in the page it gets displayed as
- QA { ShowdetailHeader }
-- Questions { tree table}
Now that if Supplier1 is assigned with 3 QA's then
- QA1
-- Questions of QA1
- QA2
-- Questions of QA2
- QA3
-- Questions of QA3
i.e the regions to be displayed will depend on the data.
================================
To explain the same tech...
We have the following requirement { Consider 2 VO's and a VL between them }. In the page we display it in this manner
<showdetialHeader VO1>
< Tree table VO2 >
This region will be repeated depending on the result of VO1. That is say VO1 returns 3 rows then it should be displayed as
<showdetialHeader VO1.row1>
< Tree table VO2 [VO1.row1] >
<showdetialHeader VO1.row2>
< Tree table VO2 [VO1.row2]>
<showdetialHeader VO1.row3>
< Tree table VO2 [VO1.row3]>
=========================================================
Please guide me in I building this page.
Thanks,
Suresh.

JDeveloper 11g does not yet support dynamical creation of ADF Region instances. So any attempt to create a region in an af:forEach or af:iterator loop wont work.

I said :
- A) you should copy the main program without to copy
     includes, so when the systems ask you which objects
     you want to copy: check all excluding INCLUDES.
So you'll have a new program which uses the same includes of the standard program.
- B) in your z-program you find the point where you should insert your code: you'll have two cases:
- you should insert code in a point that is writen in z-program;
- you should insert code in a point (for example a form) that isn't write in z-program, but in a standard include your z-program use.
In first case you only write your code, in second one before you should copy the include, than insert it in your z-program and so insert your code in the include.
For example:
- A) Copy RFFOUS_C in ZRFFOUS_C
- B) I should change the code of routine
     SCHECKDATEN_EINGABE, it's defined in RFFORI01, so I copy it in ZRFFORI01, insert my code in it.
- C) found where my z-program call include RFFORI01:
subroutines for check print and prenumbered checks                  *
INCLUDE RFFORI01.
now replace this with the call to my new include:
INCLUDE RFFORI01.
INCLUDE ZRFFORI01.
If you do in this way you copy only includes where you should change the code.

Droid X - Receiving same Txt message multiple times, repeatedly

After an upgrade back in September/October... I started receiving the same text message multiple times. It doesn't happen every time. For example, my Husband responds with "OK" and I receive the same message 5 times over a period of 4-5 hours.

Welcome ... SEARCH is your friend in this forum as most issues have already been reported. I did a quick search on "Multiple" and this popped up:

Multiple time submission of a form automatically in struts

I have a button in jsp, when the onclick event is fired, it will send the request to someaction.do to generate a report and display that report in a new window.
After clicking the button to generate the report, in the business class a sql query is getting executed.
If the query result has less data, then I don't have any problem, I could view my report page.
If the query result has more data, then the query takes at least 5-6mins to complete. However, before the query completes its execution, the same request is automatically invoked again. Due to this the report is not getting generated because [...of the multiple requests?], the browser shows an Internet Explorer error and ends up at a blank page.
No exception is thrown and the only place I could find the place of query execution it stops and starts as a new request from web.xml with Servlet Filters, Action.
Note: For a single .do request, the request is getting repeated for 3 times. Overlapping of request also takes place.

I am trying to print a snapshot taken from a PDF multiple times on one page.

Reader Will not print multiple copies of a snapshot on one page. I read the help files for Acrobat itself and all it said was take the snapshot and print it. Does anyone know if Acrobat can print multiple copies of the snapshot on one page?
From some reading in another forum page it looks like Acrobat can do it by saving the snapshot repeatedly with different names and the printing all of them at once. I really hate that workaround as I need to do this often.
Message was edited by: duckles10

I tried to do it using Reader. I have a one page PDF document with a UPS shipping label on one side and a special box label with a barcode on the other. This is designed to print on a standard 8.5 x 11 sheet of paper. There are many times when I need to be able to print the box labels more than once. At home, I do it by taking a snapshot of the box label and printing it to a Label printer as many times as I need it. The distributor who also ships items for me only has a full page printer but he can print 4 on a page labels on UPS provided stock. Reader won’t print a snapshot multiple times, the option is grayed out. What I wanted to know is if Acrobat itself can print that snapshot multiple times. I don’t think it can without being able to cut and save that PDF multiple times as separate files. That would be a slow and cumbersome operation. If it would take a snapshot or a single cut and save and print that PDF 4 times on a page it would be a reason to spend the money to buy the program because we need to perform this operation OVER and OVER on a regular basis. On some shipments we might need to print 12 or more extra box labels. We tape smaller boxes together for one UPS label and need to make sure EACH box gets a separate label. Otherwise they sometimes get lost on the other end.
Doing the save 4 separate PDFs process we might actually need TWO copies of Acrobat unless reader can print 4 on a page if it has 4 PDF’s to work from. I have not yet found a good way to save those snapshots from reader. I have tried since I found that it was possible to cut and save them in other formats but not PDF’s as reader can’t save them. The quality of the saved items in other formats is not acceptable. I recently discovered that Microsoft publisher which I have can save a document as a PDF. I’m going to see if I can import to that program next.
