Why does my Simple Quicktime Applescript Not work??

Hey guys..
This script doesn't make my movie play.. even though in Tiger it would work.
tell application "QuickTime Player"
activate
play
end tell
I can open the movie with tell application Finder
but once open.. Quicktime doens't make it play.. why is that?
I have macos 10.6.3
in a MacPro computer
I'm confused. Is there a special update to make Quicktime respond to Applescript?
But then I also have Quicktime 7 installed in my Snow leopard..and it also doesn't respond to the quicktime script
tell application "Qcuiktime Player 7"
activate
play
end tell
so it doesn't work on either QT 7 or QT X.

Referring to QuickTime's scripting dictionary (either one), the play command takes one parameter - the document to play.tell application "QuickTime Player"
play document 1 -- plays whatever is in the front document
end tell

Why Does Live View In DW Not Work With BC Template?

The live view using a BC template in DW CS6 shows "PAGE NOT FOUND" in the body section but the header and footer look fine. I should also point out that the index.htm page works fine, it's just the other pages that have this problem. What makes it weirder is that the site works fine in all other modes including when viewing in a normal browser, it's ONLY when in live view! I also noticed that if I delete the .htm extension in the url in the DW browser when in Live View it fixes the problem, but this requires me to do this everytime I want to switch to live view and surely is either a problem with how the BC template files are named or DW CS6 is buggy? Hopefully this is an easy one to answer??

Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5

Why does my printer HP 3080 not work with Mac OS X VERSION 10.7.5. Am I missing a driver? If so where do I go to download it? thanks

What's the full model number and name of the printer? I can't seem to find any HP printer with the numbers 3080 in the model number.
How are you connecting the printer to the Mac?
I am a printer tech for HP.

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5?

Why does my camera connection kit not work with my ipad 1 after updating on ios 5? What can I do to make it work again?

It should. It will only respond if there's something on the card for it to respond to, so do you have pics on the card?
And if it's messing up; try giving the iPad a restart. Hold down the sleep and home keys, past when you see hte red power down slider and until you see the silver apple. Let it reboot and try again. That can clear up any glitches on the device itself.

HELP! Why does my Drag and Drop not work Completely?

Hello! I'm working on an ActionScript 3 movie clip in Adobe Flash. In the interactive movie I want the user to create a snowman with the parts on the left side. (Picture below.)
On the right side I have the snowman slightly visible, so the user knows where to put the parts. Most of it seems to work... but after I put on the body, hat, and arms the other pieces don't work; like the eyes, nose, mouth, etc. Why does it not work? Can someone help me?
This is how it should look at the end, when the user complets it.
I think I coded this correctly. But I'm not sure. Please take a look at my code and see what the problem is. Thanks!!!

Below is a more efficient code. I am not sure about chasing parents you do in the code (always bad idea) so this code may be buggy:

var currentTarget:Sprite;

          currentObject.buttonMode = true;
function pickUp(event:MouseEvent):void {
     currentTarget = event.currentTarget as Sprite;
     currentTarget.startDrag(true);
     MYTEXTBOX.text = "";
     currentTarget.parent.addChild(currentTarget);
     startX = currentTarget.x;
     startY = currentTarget.y;
     stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
function dropIt(event:MouseEvent):void {
     stage.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_UP, dropIt);
     stopDrag();
     var myTarget:DisplayObject = getChildByName("T" + currentTarget.name);
     if (currentTarget.dropTarget != null && currentTarget.dropTarget.parent == myTarget){
          MYTEXTBOX.text = "Good Job!";
          currentTarget.removeEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_DOWN, pickUp);
          currentTarget.buttonMode = false;
          currentTarget.x = myTarget.x;
          currentTarget.y = myTarget.y;
          counter++;
     } else {
          MYTEXTBOX.text = "Try Again!";
          currentTarget.x = startX;

     currentTarget = null;

Why does batch rename Original Case not work properly?

The Batch rename funtion for >Current Filename >Name >Original Case does not work.
Why?

For some reason it doesn't do a thing. Unless my inderstanding of its function is not correct.
It doesn't a thing by design, when having selected 'current filename' / Name / and 'Original Case' it does what it says, it leaves everything original as is in the existing filename. You can also choose to use uppercase and lowercase to either change all characters of the existing file name to uppercase or lowercase.
I can imagine you have been mislead by the fact the write UPPERCASE and lowercase to show as an example and used two capitals in 'Original Case'. Sadly enough the use of capitals in common throughout Bridge is not very consistent and sometimes even very strange to put it mildly…

Why does the address/status bar not work?

After updating to 9.0.1, my status bar will not work, or my address bar. If I try to type in anything and press enter into the address bar, nothing happens. Also, I cannot press forward or back as they always remain grayed out. The only way I can get to a website is by pressing home, which is thankfully google. I have to google the url to go to it.
Remembering now actually, I copied all the folders from the main firefox folder and pasted them into a new install of firefox (I had this problem actually before firefox updated). I was hoping that copying these folders would save my addons and etc. after I downloaded a new firefox and re-installed it. I put the folders back and firefox is still messed up :/
I just want it to work more Q_Q

That issue can be caused by an extension that isn't working properly.

Why does my canoscan 9950FII suddenly not work anymore? Mountain Lion. Error: scanner not found and PCPower no longer supported.

New iMac with OS X Mountain Lion. Canocan 9950F II, bought new because my old 9950F was not supported by Mac. Driver installed from CD, everything fine, worked perfectly. After some time of not using the scanner, I tried to scan a document now. It did not work. It says it cannot find the scanner although everything is plugged in and switched on. And then the message that PC Power is no longer supported. HELP!!!

Check the Canon Web Site for new software and download the software for Mac OS X (Intel Mac) or select Intel Mac from the install disk.
I checked the Canon Support Site, but there isn't a 9950F Mark II on the U.K Site, but there is a 9000F Mark II.
The messgae you are getting suggests the PowerPC software version has been installed instead of the Intel Version.

Why does my premiere elements 12 not work ?

Have installed photoshop elements and premier elements 12 photoshop works fine but premier does not .Have tried re installing but no luck I have read that disc my be faulty / hoe do I ge replacement / Thanks Meleches.

Try installing from a different source. Use the link below to download the free trial. Its identical to the full disk version. After installation you can activate it with the serial number from your DVD packaging.
It’s a good idea to uninstall PRE12 before you begin the download.

Why Does My G3 AV Card Not Work Like My 8600AV?

Hi! I recently upgraded from an 8600AV to a G3AV 333. I have a VCR/DVD combo with cable TV connected. My 8600 gave me great video captures & sound with the Apple Video Player. But the G3's captures have poorer resolution and the sound plays in slow motion, no matter what playback application I use. I recently transfered some of my Family Guy clips from the 8600 to the G3 and they played just fine in QuickTime, Simpltext, and MoviePlayer. But anything I capture thru the G3 plays as described above. Do I need a different AV card? What is the difference between the 820-0971-A card and the 820-0923-A WINGS card. Thanks for any advice!!

It might be the system software or the AVP application needs to be reinstalled on the G3. It sounds like the sample rate for the audio is not set correctly, so the playback sounds like its in slow motion.
Try another application for doing the audio/video capture like HackTV or BTV and see if you get the same problem.

What does this simple folder action not work?

OK I have been playing with this all weekend. I just wanted a simple folder action to move a file from folder a to folder b. There is really not much to it. The workflow works just fine. "Somtimes" running the script runs the workflow.app. However when I drop a file into folder a - nothing happens. I have enabled folder actions. Can anyone help?
here is a pic of the relative screens that should help you.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
PS I even stopped by my local Genius Bar -- they could not help.

Vantive,
Try either:
*on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items*
*tell application "Finder"*
*repeat with this_item in added_items*
*move this_item to folder "Folder B" of folder "Desktop" of folder¬*
*"MyShortName" of folder "Users" of the startup disk*
*end repeat*
*end tell*
*end adding folder items to*
Or:
*on adding folder items to this_folder after receiving added_items*
*tell application "Finder"*
*repeat with this_item in added_items*
*move this_item to "Macintosh HD:Users:MyShortName:Desktop:Folder B"*
*end repeat*
*end tell*
*end adding folder items to*
In either case replace MyShortName with your actual short name. +Make sure the script is saved to your Home/Library/Scripts/Folder Action Scripts folder.+ Then right-click or control-click on "Folder A" and, if necessary, select "Enable Folder Actions." If enabled, right-click or control-click on "Folder A" and select "Attach a Folder Action…" When the Choose-a-File window appears highlight the script and press Choose.
Both of the above scripts worked for me in testing. For what it's worth, both my /Library/LaunchAgents, and /System/Library/LaunchAgents folders are empty.
Good Luck...
Regards, Andrew99
