Running Applescript twice is ignored, why?

I created a script to reduce noise on a clip. Clip sounds good on FCP
I exited STP, went to FCP 7 to send the other clips to STP using the script.
However there's still a buzz on them. I recreated the script using one
of the sent clips with a buzz. Got it to sound better.
However now when I resend the sent clips from FCP, the clips load
up in STP but then nothing. It doesn't do the noise reduction on
any clips.
Why does this happen and how do I get around this to reduce noise again?
-- seconday question: If I wanted to do a do-over, do I go back
to a prior saved copy of my project? Do I save the new sent clips
in a different folder? Or if I use the same folder will in replace
ok?
Thanks for any pointers.

I was able to get the AS to work.
It does remember the noise print.
After some experimenting I discovered that one of my subclips was _not_ a previously sent [i.e. didn't have the (sent) designator]. STP gave sort of a warning that some of my clips were not audio and ask to convert before proceeding. If I answered Yes, STP would load all the clips and then stop. If I answered No, it would process all the clips except for the one that it warned about. If I sent that clip by itself and answered Yes to convert then the AS would process it.

Chaining "Get Value of Variable" and "Run AppleScript" actions in Automator

I'm attempting to access a variable I've set in Automator from within a "Run AppleScript Action". On occasion, generally when I start in a fresh new file, I can chain the "Get Value of Variable" action with the "Run AppleScript" action as you would expect.
Most times, though, they will not chain together. I haven't specified that the "Run AppleScript" action should ignore input, but it behaves that way. I've tried everything I can think of, but I'm out of ideas.
Am I going about this all wrong? (Thanks in advance for any suggestions!)

The *Get Value of Variable* action is another quirky one. I'm not sure what causes it to fail, but sometimes putting another (dummy) action in between gets it to work. You can also access workflow variables directly from the Run AppleScript action, so you might also give that a try:
<pre style="
font-family: Monaco, 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;
font-size: 10px;
font-weight: normal;
margin: 0px;
padding: 5px;
border: 1px solid #000000;
width: 680px;
color: #000000;
background-color: #B5FF6C;
overflow: auto;"
title="this text can be pasted into an Automator 'Run AppleScript' action">
on run {input, parameters} -- get values of workflow variables
set output to {}
set theVariables to the name of variables of front workflow
if the result is not {} then
set theVariables to (choose from list theVariables with multiple selections allowed and empty selection allowed)
if result is false then error -128 -- cancel
repeat with someVariable in theVariables
set the end of the output to (get value of variable someVariable of front workflow)
end repeat
end if
return output
end run
</pre>

I just installed Firefox on a new HP 600-1120 with Windows 7 and it is only running in "safe" mode. Why? How do I get it to run in "regular" mode? How does "safe" mode differ?

Use the Toshiba recovery disk or the Toshiba HDD recovery option.
If you dont have the Toshiba Recovery disk try the HDD recovery:
http://aps2.toshiba-tro.de/kb0/HTD1303440001R01.htm
This works only if the recovery image files from Toshiba are still on the HDD:
If you installed the system using another disk as Toshiba recovery disk, this recovery option will not work.

ICal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed on alert.

iCal failing to run applescripts: The 'Open' button does not change to 'Run', and the script file is opened but not executed.

Calendar (not called iCal anymore) does not include that capability any longer, apparently. What you have to do now is go to Automator and create a Calendar Alert action. You can add a Run AppleScript object to the action and paste in your script there, then when you save it, it will become available as a choice in the alert menu in Calendar.

Can I run CS5 twice?

I need to run 2 identical versions of CS5 this is so that one can run a batch in the background and yet still edit in the other.
Now I have been able to have 2 folders with CS5 on and they both work. However I get this prompt asking
"The application has been moved, and its path changed. To update the configuration, click update."
I can rename the application so that its say "alternative CS5" but I get the same prompt and updating only means that when I run "adobe photoshop CS5" I get the prompt again, constantly reupdating the configuration.
Is there any workaround to this to increase my productivity.

From what I can gather I am one person using Photoshop, who wants to run it twice and still be the user of both, another person cannot be at my computer while i am there.
So to make a post here on the adobe forum as a paying user of photoshop seams to me fair and legitimate. If it does become illegal use of the software then my question of a work around, in terms of droplet usage or by buying a second license would help speed up the process here a lot. Also having this second license would I still get the same problem?
So by posting here I am hoping for some useful tips and suggestions.

HT201263 My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years?

My iPad 1 can only be updated to iOS 5 yet most apps run on iOS 7. Why can't I make the update on my iPad 1? Is this so I buy another iPad 2+? Now why would I want to buy something that will be obsolete in a few years? I really want to purchase an Live TV plan yet I need iOS 7 to run most TV apps.
Can Apple tell me why my iPad 1 is obsolete?
g

It's not obsolete as much as the first gen simply lacks the power to run the newer operating systems. IT doesn't have enough RAM. If someone managed to hack it to get iOS 6 or 7 on there they'd just have a slow, boggy and unresponsive device. (think putting windows 7 on an old laptop.
Unfortunately software moves faster than hardware. Every thing goes obsolete. I've had my ipad 2 for two and a half years now and I know it only has so much longer left to it too. Just the 'joys' of advancing technology.

Lots of things in the world stink. It stinks that my car isn't a hybrid so I'm stuck with lower gas mileage. It stinks that my TV doesn't support 4K movies. It stinks that my printer isn't color. It's what we just have to live with it if we're not willing to purchase new products.

Running AppleScript in the background

Okay, yet another problem I'm having that I'm going to bug the community here with.
Is it at all possible to run AppleScript while doing other things? For example, if I wanted my AppleScript to hop online every hour and send me back information from my site could I have it do this while I do other things? Or will I have to wait until it's completed?
Say I wanted to create a script that hopped on my site and sent me the post number of the last post, could I have it do this while I do other things?
Something like
tell application "Safari" to activate
tell application "System events"
tell process "Safari"
(enter code here to get post number and send it to me)
end tell
end tell
I've tried doing it like this and it definitely doesn't work at all if I don't have the Safari window selected at all times, so is there any way in which I can run script in the background while I work on other things or does AppleScript require full control of my computer while it's working?

Save this script just like the others I posted. The script will do exactly as you asked.
<pre style="width:630px;height:auto;overflow-x:auto;overflow-y:hidden;"
title="Copy this code and paste it into your Script Editor application.">property helloWorld : "Hello World "
global numChars, charNum, x
on run
tell application "System Events" to set isRunning to exists process "TextEdit"
if not isRunning then tell application "TextEdit" to launch
tell application "TextEdit"
if isRunning then make new document
set name of window 1 to "Hello World"
set numChars to number of characters in helloWorld
set charNum to 0
set x to 0
end tell
end run
on idle
try
tell application "TextEdit"
if x = numChars then
set x to 1
else
set x to x + 1
end if
set charNum to charNum + 1
set theChar to character x of helloWorld
set character charNum of document 1 to theChar
end tell
on error
quit
end try
return 0.1
end idle
on quit
continue quit
end quit</pre>

Accessing multiple Automator variables in a Run Applescript action

I have an Automator app set up with 4 variables feeding into a Run Shell Script with the following code. And it runs perfectly.
/Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CC/aerender -sound ON -project $1 -comp "$2" -output $3/$4
However, I need to be able to see the progress of the Script while it processes in the Terminal window. So, I'm setting up a Run AppleScript to tell Terminal to run the script, but I'm getting two problems.
code:
on run {input, parameters}
          set aVar to item 1 of input
          set bVar to item 2 of input
          set cVar to item 3 of input
          set dVar to item 4 of input
          tell application "Terminal"
activate
                    do script "/Applications/Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CC/aerender -sound ON -project aVar -comp \"bVar\" -output cVar/dVar"
          end tell
end run
Problem 1--Either my syntax or method of setting the 4 variables to access the array of 4 input variables is wrong. And I don't know enough about AppleScript to figure it out.
Problem 2-- AppleScript really doesn't like the spaces in "Adobe\ After\ Effects\ CC" even though the Terminal has no problem with it. But it errors out before it even gets to Terminal.
Any help that anyone can give will be greatly appreciated.

The backslash is also used as the escape character in an AppleScript string, so to actually get the character you need to escape it (you can also use the term quoted form of to let AppleScript figure out how to quote the string). To use the variables, you need to use the concatentation operator to mix the variables and text pieces - by putting a variable inside the string the identifier just becomes text.
Your string should look something like:
"/Applications/Adobe\\ After\\ Effects\\ CC/aerender -sound ON -project " & aVar & " -comp " & bVar & " -output " & cVar & "/" & dVar
or perhaps
quoted form of "/Applications/Adobe After Effects CC/aerender" & " -sound ON -project " & aVar & " -comp " & bVar & " -output " & quoted form of (cVar & "/" & dVar)

Open Serial Driver VI runs in user interface thread - why?

I know the serial port compatibility functions are "phased out" and you should use the newer VISA functions - but why on earth is the open serial driver VI set to run in the user interface thread? If you happen to use these compatibility VIs your serial communication will be blocked by e.g. a user that opens the calendar view of a date and time control...- and the only reason for that is that that particular VI is running in the user interface.
Change the thread of that VI - and the serial communication runs as it should, so why is it that that particular VI, unlike all the other VIs in that library, is configured that way?

The action "Run AppleScript" encountered an error.

Hey,
I'm using EOS utility to tether my camera to my computer and take photos. I'm then using the "linked software" option in eos utility preferences to send it my Automator action. Eos utility is pretending that my automator script is an application.
The goal is that automator sends it to photoshop to run a specific action on it and then save it to a folder where I display the photos on a monitor.
However everytime I take a photo I get this error message:
"The action “Run AppleScript” encountered an error. Check the actionʼs properties and try running the workflow again."
Once I click "ok" then the script will continue running and everything works fine.
This is my run applescript that I'm using in Automator:
"on run {input, parameters}
          set input to input as text
          tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
open file input
                    do action "GDaction" from "GDset"
          end tell
end run"
I assume there is an issue in the run applescript. Can anyone help me revise it to avoid getting this error message everytime?

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. I don't think you need to cast the file reference to a text string.
Try this:
on run {input, parameters}
          tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
                 open file input
                 do action "GDaction" from "GDset"
          end tell
end run
or
on run {input, parameters}
          tell application "Adobe Photoshop CS5"
                 open alias input
                 do action "GDaction" from "GDset"
          end tell
end run
I'm not sure what is being passed and what photoshop is expecting.

Major run around no answers. Why?

Early recording years for some of the older stars had music unavailable on CD's. My cassets record on Ion Ez Vinyl/tape converter but can't seem to get them into iTunes library as packaging asserts. Why?
Running vista service pack 2 why is it not listed in iTunes properties for adapting converters? Nothing passes encryption!

Ask the people who make Ion Ez, they are the ones who should know how to make it work.

HT4972 After upgrading to ISO 5.1.1 the battery is running down twice faster compare before

After upgrading to ISO 5.1.1 the battery life is running down twice faster compare before, any solution?thank you

I have had the same problem but I seem to be getting somewhere to fixing it!!! My battery was going down at 20% an an hour now its 10% with constant use and 5 in standby !!! So improvement all round
First I did a restore then I drained the battery i started to charge it and when it came on I turned the phone off completely and let it charge to 100% I then left it for a couple of hours on charge at 100. I saw no improvement after 1st drain so I repeated the drain battery and charge steps again with the phone turned off when charging and have seen a very big improvement. I am going to do it again tonight and hopefully problem solved!!!!
The next issue is iMessage as that's playing up and wifi drop out
Good luck
