Strange command on my script which i did not write

hi!
i created a script which write some words on another application.
i use this sintax:
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "myword"
it goes on without problems for hours, but sometimes (like the 400th time) my application crashes and i see the script adding a command which i did not put,
I have somthing which starts with:
"prcskprs" (sorry i couldn't write it all down)...
just before this that i wrote...:
tell application "System Events" to keystroke "myword"
Do you have any idea what that means?
Thanks!

I'd expect that that "prcskprs" is a Process Keypress event error from the App and AppleScript.
As twtwtw writes, GUI scripting neither robust nor reliable for bulk work; something as simple as a change in the timing of the App (or using the script on a different system) can cause a working GUI script to fail.
And yes, we'll need to see rather more of the script, and some details.
If you can find a way to do this without resorting to GUI scripting, that's usually the way to go. What are you trying to do with this application, using AppleScript? And which application is involved?

How to disable "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox?

How to disabl "blue underlined links" (which I did not code) in FireFox? Here's an example website that has no underlined links coded in the simple html source: www.setv.org. After I updated FireFox to a more recent FireFox version, blue underlines appear in websites. I know that there is a way to disable that annoying 'feature'.
Thanks in Advance

Cor El,
Thank you. Re; under-lined links...I thought I looked everywhere...but I missed it!
Any chance there being a way to easily enable/disable animations? I'd sure like to selectively rid the screen of those noisy flashy-blinky advertisements.
And how about storing java-script enable/disable flags with bookmarks? That way I would not be forced to click tools->options->content->enable-javascript each time I wanna turn it on or off? When I surf using database engines I disable j-script (phkem) and when I need to get something from nextegg I turn it on. What about being able to selectively disable/enable (also stored in bookmarks) embedded google-ads/beacons flags? I hate being tracked, now I'm getting ads on my cable TV set based on where I've been lurking on the InterNet. Big-phkn-brother's on us, and its the greedy phkn corporations who don't give sht about us except for what's in our wallets. InterNet used to be cool, now its the CIA, the FBI, KGB, policia, FartBuuk, Macro$haft, AT&T, Giggle (at least they give something of value back), and all the other facist big-brothers. Mozilla was born fighting that schema. There's so much more that FireFox could do to mitigate InterNet facism.
Anyway, thanks again for your time and I appologize for the ranting.

i just downloaded ios 7.0.2 on iphone 4 and it is now asking for a pass code which i did not even set up do??

I have an ipod 5g. i changed my passcode and then got a notification of a 7.0.2 update. i updated and now my passcode wont work? im certain that i entered the right passcode. i would try resetting on my macbook, but the screen is shattered.

Hello, i recently bought an ipod touch 5th generation and it came with a passcode which i did not know, it is now disabled and i am wondering on how to unlock it using itunes on the computer

Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
iOS: Wrong passcode results in red disabled screen
If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.
How to put iPod touch / iPhone into DFU mode « Karthik's scribblings
For how to restore:
iTunes: Restoring iOS software
If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
However, you will likely run again the Activation Lock
iCloud: Find My iPhone Activation Lock in iOS 7
You either have to get the Apple ID and password of the previous owner and enter it or have them remove the iPod from their account.

Finding which recipients did not dequeue a message

Hello
Is there a way with a multiconsumer queue to fid out which recipients in the list have not dequeued the message?
The scenario is this. We have a number of daemon type processes that sit on queues, processing whatever messages they need to. We need a way of finding out if each daemon is alive and kicking.
The way I thought of doing this was to set up a multiconsumer queue and enqueue a message with the list of recipients being each daemon process, and set an expiration time of say 10 seconds. The daemons listen to their normal work queue and the "are you alive" queue, and just dequeue any messages on the latter. If the message is not dequeued by all recipients within the time limit, the message will be moved to the exception queue. The process that sent out the request can then just listen on the exception queue for a mesage comming back, but it needs to know which recipient did not dequeue it's message.
So is it possible to find out which recipients did not dequeue the message just from the exceptions queue and supporting meta data tables? Does this sound like a reasonable approach?
David

Yes, you can, use the queue table view. It has the consumer name column. View is automatically created [by default] when the table is created.
All the queue table view name start with AQ$<Queue table name>.
For example :- if a queue table name is customer_qt then the view name would be aq$customer_qt.

I have photos on my camera stream which I did not take

TToday, photos have appeared on both my iPhone and iPad which I did not take. Nobody has had access to either but me and I didn't take them. I find it very worrying and would like to know how it happened. I've tried to contact apple but because I don't know my Apple ID I can't actually get to talk to anyone. Please can somebody help me?

Call the Apple account security team for your country: Apple ID: Contacting Apple for help with Apple ID account security. You will need you serial number to set up the call, which you can find on your device in Setting>General>About. You can see your iCloud ID by going to Settings>iCloud and looking at the email address listed at the top to the right of "Account".

My appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy, does anyone know what the problem could be? I don't think I have been hacked (no money subtracted, etc.)

Hi all,
For some time now, my appstore app shows an update available for CodeBox, which I did not buy. When I try to update it it asks for my ID and password (all normal), but then it gives an Unknown Error.
I am 100% sure I didn't buy the app, I do not see any transaction on my card or in the appstore apart of this one, so does not seem to be a hack.
Does anyone know what is happening, this is a tricky thing which is making me lose trust in the payment/account system that Apple is using.
Thanks!
Isidro

well... actually you are right dahveed, i had a dodgy copy of galaxy on fire 2 (boring game), that's what was giving me the issue. i followed your posts about the MAS etc., and discovered this was the problem. Corrected. You're a knowledgable man, thank you

I recently had to have a migration done. Since then I keep getting a message on my calendar: "The server responded with an error." Its been asking me to check my ID and password, which I did not change. What do I do to correct the problem?

I recently had to have a migration done on my Mac Desktop. Since then I keep getting this message on my MacBook regarding my calendar: "The server responded with an error." Its been asking me to check my ID and password, which I did not change. What do I do to correct the problem?

That's probably the MobileMe or iCloud password.
Go to System Preferences > Mobile Me (or iCloud). If you're not logged-in, do so. If you are, log out and back in again.

When i start up internet with firefox also another sites opens automatically. This is a site which i did not choose. How do i stop this?

Go to settings on your iPad select store and look to the bottom of the screen - ensure it is your apple id shown as being logged on - if it not yours click on the apple id choose log out and then enter your details and password.
If someone has entered their apple id on your ipad and automatic downloads are enabled you can be receiving apps they have purchased.

We are fellow users here on these user-to-user forums, you're not talking to iTunes Support.
You've checked the purchase history on your account to see what the 18.87 charges were for (they may have been from a day or 2 before the Dec 7th), and nobody else has acess to your account or devices and may have made them ?

I bought a mac 2 days ago and transferred some files on there using migration assist which I did not want to. How do I restore my imac to factory settings so I can start again?

I bought a mac 2 days ago and transferred some files on there using migration assist which I did not want to. How do I restore my imac to factory settings so I can start again?

Look in /Users folder. You can go to System Preferences > Users & Groups, open the lock and "-" delete the account it created.
This is a problem whenever you use migration assistant after the initial install. The proper way to run Migration Assistant is in Setup Assistant when you first boot your Mac. I don't know why Apple isn't clearer about this issue.

How do I stopi-Tunes from downloading songs on my device which I did not order and which I then have to delete?

How can I stop i-Tunes from downloading songs on my device which I did not order and which I then have to delete because I do not want it?

Does swiping/dragging across the tracks from right-to-left (or possibly left-to-right depending upon the iOS version) in the Downloads tab in the iTunes store app stop them downloading ?

How do I delete dates on my IPad calendar which I did not create?????

How to delete dates in IPad calendar which I did not create. No edit facility comes up for me to use!

No, Barry,
They have just appeared and in most cases in multiples for the same date etc
Thanksgiving, multiples for Christmas, NewYear eve etc etc Queens birthday. Also if I select the date, no option comes up for me to delete.
Unusual to me , I am not real au faux with the IPad but do not believe I have done anything different to when I enter the dates which I want to add.
Cheers and thanx
