Trying to create a script for iTunes

This is one of those questions that probably has a very simple answer unless you haven't worked with Automator or applescripts.
I found Automator, created a script for iTunes to change settings for audiobooks that I import from CD so that it remembers it's place in a "song", makes it so that it doesn't show up in shuffle lists, and doesn't have a gap between songs. Yippee for me.
I click on File, Save, name the file and save it and ... it doesn't show up under iTunes. It only took me 45 minutes to get it so that the scroll icon shows up under iTunes (I'm so confused now that I don't even know which thing I did caused that to happen) but my script I created doesn't show up.
I did find one place that said to place the file in (myname\library\scripts\programname) So I went to my home folder, find the library folder, found the scripts folder, and found only one application under there (Safari) but no iTunes. I created a folder called iTunes and saved my script there but ... it doesn't show up under iTunes.
I did try quitting iTunes and opening it back up and ... it still isn't there.
Is this even the right place to ask this question?

I found that this is full of 'Users' and more likely to be experienced using AppleScript and Automator.
Although I don't say that someone here won't be able to help. Just might take longer here or, as you yourself suggest, may need posting elsewhere on this site. Just speaking from previous experience of both sites

  • Looking create a script for itunes to replace missing playlist songs

    Hello, basically all of the songs in my itunes folder got erased, so in itunes they were replaced with "!". I dragged the library folder back into itunes, and they were all found in the "Library" but not in the playlists. Is there a way to create an apple script to link the found tracks in itunes with the missing songs in the playlists?
    Thanks!

  • I am a chemistry teacher and trying to create an app for my students.   How can I learn to do this?

    I am a Chemistry teacher and am trying to create an app for my students.  Our books are way out of date and I am needing wisdom to learn to do this.  Please help!

    Hello and thank you for your email!  I am currently using the  2004 version of Prentice Hall.  Our books have been taped  many times and are in very rough shape.  We have one portable computer cart for our entire high school and do not have wi fi, yet our school in Ludington, MI has been ranked top 8% in the nation for academic success.  My passion is teaching kids to think outside the box and I believe teaching them to create an app for a tough chemistry concept will be am amazing experience!  I think the reason our American children are falling behind is because we are not teaching them according to the way they are wired.  I may be wrong but need to find out.  Creating this app will be both a learning experience and a research opportunity.  Thank you so much for your words of wisdom as I begin the uphill climb in my journey. Please don't hesitate to continue to send wisdom!

  • How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me.

    How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me. Have just upgraded from iPhotos so don't want to lose any content.

    How can I quit the photos app? It has been trying to create a library for hours but nothing happens. when I try to quit, it won't let me. Have just upgraded from iPhotos so don't want to lose any content.
    Force-quit Photos as recommended by Arsenal1607.
    Make backup of your iPhoto Library and run the iPhoto Library First Aid tools to repair the permissions on your library and rebuild the iPhoto Library.
    To launch the First Aid Tools hold down the  alt/option and the command key simultaneously while double clicking the iPhoto Library to launch the iPhoto Library First aid tools. You'd to hold down both keys firmly and long enough, until the First Aid panel will appear.
    Try both the options "Repair Permissions" and "Rebuild library".  Then try again to migrate the iPhoto Library to Photos by dragging it onto the Photos icon in the Dock.
    Make sure, you have plenty of free storage. Don't try the migration, if you are running out of storage.

    I Hope in Your help.

    Hi,
    Assuming you are on Windows environment. You may use the following two scripts to startup the database.
    startup.bat
    ========
    net start OracleServiceYOUR_INSTANCE_NAME
    set oracle_sid=YOUR_INSTANCE_NAME
    D:\oracle\product\10.2.0\db_1\bin\sqlplus /nolog @C:\DBA\startDB.sql
    net start OracleOraDb10g_home1TNSListener
    pause
    startDB.sql
    =========
    connect sys/your_password as sysdba
    startup pfile=D:\ORACLE\ORADBA\pfile\init.ora
    exit
    Similarly, you may write your own shutdown script.

  • HT204053 i am trying to create an account for icloud. i have had itunes for years and am using my apple id. however it is coming back as saying this is your apple id but not your icloud id??? from what i have read this is the same thing. i cant get passed

    I am trying to create an icloud account and  have used itunes for years . Therefore have been using my apple id to sign in. Unfortunatly it keeps coming back saying this is my apple id but not my icloud id is this different?
    Ive looked at help and it states its the same i have changed my passord several times as i thought it was this. Can anyone please help.??

    I've tried both. First, I tried on my pc, where iTunes had installed iCloud when it last updated. I have iTunes installed on this computer (and on my iPad and iPhone), but that wasn't the issue.
    So I went online, thinking I needed a separate iCloud Apple ID, but it prompted me for my current Apple ID and gave me the message about my ID being "valid" but not an iCloud account," which, lol, was what it had asked me to do in order to create one. I checked, and at least one other user is having the same issue. I'll attempt to copy/paste the Support request url: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4430653?tstart=0
    Thank you for any help you can give.

  • Creating shell script for cloning

    Hi,
    I am cloning 11.5.8 instance. For copying of files from source to production I use rcp command. I want to create shell script that copies the files and lwhen it is complete send an email to my rediffmail account.
    There are 2 problems:-
    1. How to track if rcp commaind has completed.
    2. How to send out an email. I tried to send an email using sendmail but it gave me an error "stdin: Value too large for defined data type".
    Please help.
    Thanks & Regards,
    Neeraj

    Hi Neeraj,
    I'd suggest using the exit code from the rcp command to drive your email step. For most commands in Linux, and exit code of 0 indicates success, and in most shells, the environment variable $? stores the exit code of the most recent command. So, you could do something like this:
    rcp source_files target_location
    if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]
    then
    echo "Huzzah\!" | mailx -s "RCP from source to target successful" your_username@your_host
    else
    echo "Bummer.  Got exit code $? from rcp" | mailx -s "RCP from source to target failed" your_username@your_host
    fiThe preceding advice is offered with three disclaimers:
    1) I don't know which shell you're using (ksh, bash, csh?) -- my code snippet assumes ksh, but the principles should be the same in any shell
    2) My morning coffee has not yet taken effect, so I may be completely wrong about something important :-)
    3) The code above is untested, and will probably not work in any shell without modification.
    Despite all that, hopefully this will put you on the right track.
    Regards,
    John P.
