Starting applications from a keynote via Apple Script?

Is there any way to start an application from a keynote via Apple Script?

Welcome to the forums!
Keynote does not support the use of AppleScript in that fashion.

  • Automatic graphic switch via Apple Script

    hi community,
    I would like to change the "Automatic graphics switching" (tick on / tick off) via an Apple Script. I made the following script and it works, except with line "click chckbox 2". Here it ticks the box "Show battery status in menu bar". With "click checkbox 1" it takes the "Lock-Button".
    I would be glad if anybode could tell me the right code for ticking the checkbox "automatic graphics switching" via Apple Script.
    Thanks a lot
    PS: Yes I know that tool gfx Status, but I wanna do this via Apple Script.
    tell application "System Preferences"
      activate
              set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.energysaver"
              delay 0.5
              tell application "System Events"
                        tell process "Systemeinstellungen"
                                  tell window "Energie sparen"
      click checkbox 2
                                            delay 0.5
                                  end tell
                        end tell
              end tell
      quit
    end tell
    quit

    Hello
    You may try this. It works with MacBook Pro 2010 under 10.6.5.
    tell application "System Preferences"
        set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.energysaver"
    end tell
    tell application "System Events"
        tell process "System Preferences"
            tell window 1
                tell group 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                    tell checkbox 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                        click
                    end tell
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
    end tell
    And the script below will set the option to the specified value.
    set_automatic_graphics_switching(0)
    on set_automatic_graphics_switching(i)
            integer i : status of automatic graphics switching
                0 : off (unchecked)
                1 : on    (checked)
        if i is not in {0, 1} then error "Invalid argument: " & i number 8000
        tell application "System Preferences"
            set _was_running to running
            set current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.energysaver"
        end tell
        tell application "System Events"
            tell process "System Preferences"
                tell window 1
                    tell group 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                        tell checkbox 1 -- automatic graphics switching
                            if value ≠ i then click
                        end tell
                    end tell
                end tell
            end tell
        end tell
        if not _was_running then
            tell application "System Preferences" to quit
        end if
    end set_automatic_graphics_switching
    Hope this may help,

  • How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv whilst doing a phone call at the same time?

    How can I listen to music from iphone 4s via apple tv while doing a phone call at the same time?
    When I take a call on the iphone, iphone stops streaming the music to apple tv until I finished the call.
    thx!
    Claus
    PS: did ask the same question to apple hotline in germany. Answer: we don´t know... funny

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    As far as I know you can't, which sort of makes sense, it seems logical to pause whatever you are doing while you take a phone call, which after all is the primary function of a phone.

  • KeyNotes and Apple script / scripting Bridge

    Hi
    Sorry I am a recently started development in Mac OS, so may be this question is very simple for you guys
    actually I am looking to manage Keynote application automatically from Mac Server application, I know apple script is available for lot of functionalities available in keynote but i want that all these things happend without showing anything on GUI , like i want to do all the automation on background without effecting the running GUI of keynote
    if anybody can have idea how to do it in Apple script or using ScriptingBridge, I will really appriciate your help and support

    depending on what you want to do, this may or may not be possible (most likely not).  Applescript works by scripting other applications: some applications are set up do do background tasks, some applications are duplicated by osax or unix utilities that operate invisibly, but most often applescript has to open a document in the application and work on it through the application. 
    scripting bridge is for cocoa developers: it allows cocoa apps to script other apps.  it's not really useful for you unless you want to develop specialized software.
    more details would be helpful.

  • HCM Processes & Forms : Employee start application from email

    Hi,
    In he SAP Online Help,
    http://help.sap.com/erp2005_ehp_04/helpdata/EN/43/1d82283fce3566e10000000a11466f/content.htm
    it is documented (in the diagram) that it is possible for the employee role to start the form application from an email that contains a link to start the form application. May I know how the link can be retrieved and embeded in the content of the email, (presumably sent via workflow to the corporate email) ?
    Thank you.

    Hi Joyce,
    Did you manage to resolve this? We have a similar requirement and are on EnP 3 as well. Is this something that you were able to achieve?
    Thanks.

  • Starting applications from a Java GUI

    Hi,
    I am creating a main menu application that will act as a front end for users to a selection of other applications. They will use this main menu application to start any of the other applications.
    Most of these other application are written in Java, however, some of the applications have been written in Xview and until I can convert them to Java I have to be able to start them from my main menu application. When I exec these Xview applications they fail every time with the following message:
    X Error of failed request: Bad Access (attempt to access private resource denied)
    Major opcode of failed request: 89 (X_StoreColors)
    Serial number of failed request: 152
    current serial number in output stream: 153
    Now from what I can gather the problem is (apart from my lack of Xview knowledge) the Xview application is trying to change and lock the colormap which I assume is locked by the java application or something along these lines. I don't suppose anyone has come across this problem themselves and has any suggestions???
    Cheers

  • Open & close iTunes every night via Apple Script

    What I would like to do is have my Mac come out of sleep at 3am, open iTunes and download all my podcasts and then go back to sleep. Is this possible with Apple Script?

    In System Preferences>Energy Saver click on 'Schedule' and set 'Start Up or Wake' to 3 AM
    In iCal set up an event for 3.05, setting an alarm to Open File and selecting iTunes.
    Suppose you want to allow half an hour:
    In AppleScript Editor, write
    tell application iTunes to quit
    tell application "Finder" to sleep
    and save it somewhere as a script, not an application.
    Set up an event in iCal for 3.35 with an alarm, setting it to Run Script and selecting your script.

  • Hiding Folders via Apple Script

    Good evening,
    When i installed Leopard a got up a little Issue: When i look in my harddrive i can see the the folder "var,usr,etc" ... in the normal Finder Window.
    Well i thought it would be some kind of a bug so i helped myself and used a little apple script i allreade used in Tiger to hide all these annoying folders like "Microsoft Users Data etc." You know what i mean
    My Script does this:
    +set myfile to choose file+
    +tell application "System Events" to set visible of myfile to false+
    +tell application "Finder" to update myfile+
    I should be able to pick a file (have done the same for folders, too) and hide it from the normal Finder window. Well it works fine on causaul folder and data.
    But on these UNIX Folder i mentoined it wont work. My Question: How can i get this to work? (I thought of missing admin priviledges?)

    Try the instructions in this article.

  • Is it possible to set a files label on opening via apple script?

    Hi,
    I would like to mark files which have been opened with i.e. a red lable.
    Would that be possible using apple script?
    If yes how would that script look like?
    Thanks in advance.

    I don;t know of anyway of doing this in Applescript. There is the ability to monitor files using launchd, WatchPaths,  but you need to know the files your monitoring before hand so it won't work for this.
    Again if the domain is limited, that is it's only a certain application or a certain folder you're interested in it might be possible to put something together in Applescript but as a general use, system wide, solution I don;t think it can be done.
    One other possibility would be to use the Finder and smart folders. You could look for all files in a certain folder or system wide that have been acessed in the past period and then mark those. Something along those lines is doable with eiter the Finder or a script.

  • Start application from .dmg

    Hello
    I'm wondering what happens if you start up an application from a .dmg file. Will it also place preference files and the like on your Mac or will it just start without putting a single file on your Mac?
    And what kind of .dmg file should it be (read/write or dvd/cd master)?
    Thanks!

    Every user has a folder whose icon is represented by a House image on the sidebar when they are logged in as that user.    Those folders for all users are under:
    Macintosh HD -> Users
    The Desktop folder, the one that has your wallpaper and hard drive is under the home folder of the logged in user.
    So if your user is Guest,
    Macintosh HD -> Users -> Guest -> Desktop folder is the path to the wallpaper folder.
    In the Unix system, Macintosh HD, and any mounted disk, flash drive, or media is actually in
    /Volumes/Macintosh HD/
    So /Volumes/Macintosh HD/ is the actual path in Unix to your hard drive.
    and /Volumes/Macintosh HD/Users/Guest is the actual path to the guest folder.
    The Shared folder in the Users folder is one shared by all users on the hard drive.

  • Start application from applet

    Hi there!
    I have to start an application from applet (is not my idea, i HAVE to do it). That menas (i think) i have a little problem with the java "sand box". How can i make my program run out of it? Signed Applets? Are there also other possibiliys? Can i make as "privat person" signed Applets?
    Thank's

    This is SAX-parser for XML processing. The XML-files are local saved, also the applet and the application. The Parser application seems to start, but (sic!) there is no output, even though the application is OK...

  • Start Application from Terminal without Open

    I need to start an application from the terminal without using open - I'm using the java exec() command to keep a handle to the application process, and when I use open it returns a handle to open instead of a handle to the application. When I try to putting in the application name, it says "cannot execute binary file". The application also won't let me look inside it to find the name of the executable. Is this possible? How do I do this?

    Some applications are not "application bundles". Usually these are older Carbon based apps that may have been ported over from OS 9. <Control>-clicking on these applications will not give you the "Show Package Contents" option because they are not folders (like application bundles are).
    However, you can launch these apps from the command line using "LaunchCFMApp". You'll have to specify the full path to LaunchCFMApp followed by the path to the app you want to launch like this:
    /System/Library/Frameworks/Carbon.framework/Versions/A/Support/LaunchCFMApp /path/to/app/you/want/to/launch
    I'm not a java programmer but perhaps you could use a command similar to the above with java's exec().
    HTH,
    Steve
    EDIT: Oops, I just re-read your original post... I suppose even if LaunchCFMApp works with java exec() you may still get handle to LaunchCFMApp instead of the actual application.
