• AppleScript/Pages can not find the open document

  This very simple script will not work:

  Tell application "Pages".

  activate

  say the document before

  name

  tell the end

  tell the end

  All of this has to do is give the name of the opened document. It says: "cannot get document 1. Invalid index. "And, Yes, there is an open document.

  This behavior deteriorated. He worked a few weeks ago and then become increasingly more broken. It's the same thing with the numbers.

  That's happened? My Applescript is corrupt?

  It works very well here:

           tell application 'Pages' to return before the document name

  And so for this:

  say application 'Pages '.

  say front document

  name

  end say

  end say

• AppleScript Ouvrezledossier on Server intranet link works, but...

  Hello

  in our BackOffice intranet web site, we must let our local users to open files in a repository.

  So far, all this work was done by a file in jsp (that points to the folder you want), downloaded from our pages of back-office.

  This jsp file is automatically opened by beginning of java web, which open an applescript script that display the desired file to the user.

  In recent months, the updated java variety they have slowed the entire (almost 40 seconds from click to open file), and I need an alternative.

  I think I'm on the right track, I started with this simple applescript (I'm a newbie applescript):

  Tell application "Finder" open ("' / Volumes/SharedFoder/folder / ' as a POSIX file") end tell

  then I encoded URL the script, then added to a href in this way:

  AppleScript://com. Apple.scripteditor? action = New & script = say % 20application % 20% 22% 22% 0% 20% 20% 20open to inder (% 22% 2FVolumes % 2FSharedFoder % 2FFolder % 2FFolder % 2F % 22% 20% 20POSIX % 20file s a) % 0Aend % 20tell

  And it works like a charm if... you manually run a close windows applescript that displays when you click on the link to the back office.

  I still need to automate the file opening and closing the window, I tried several ways, but so far without success.

  Any help is appreciated.

  At least now I have quit the Script Editor

  say application 'Finder '.

  Open ("" / Volumes/SharedFoder/folder / ' as POSIX file")

  end say

  say application ("Script Editor") to quit smoking without economy

  URL encoded

  AppleScript://com. Apple.scripteditor? action = New & script = say % 20application % 20% 22% 22% 0% 20% 20% 20open to inder (% 22% 2FVolumes % 2FSharedFoder % 2FFolder % 2FFolder % 2F % 22% 20% 20POSIX % 20file s a) % 0Aend % 20tell % 0Atell % 20application % 20 (% 22Script % 20Editor % 22) % 20% 20quit % 20without % 20saving

• Command + tab to open the Finder window does not

  Sorry to post this again - the first accidentally got marked as resolved, but it is not and I still need help.

  I recently installed at El Capitan on my iMac, and now, when I use the command + tab to toggle an application by opening a window of Finder, I get that the Finder menu bar. The open Finder window is located in the window menu, and I choose to see it and use it. Before the upgrade, command-tab would be near the top of the Finder window currently open and active. How do I get it to behave as it did before? I HATE having to select the window menu item! AND when I select the window from the window menu, the bar menu auto mask, that I also hate. Automatic masking occurs only in the Finder, and he is not selected in the settings of my Apple.

  Help! Thanks in advance.

  I think you have Finder mode full-screen. I do not use full screen at all, so I'm not really familiar with it, but what seems to work for me was to switch to Finder and select the window from the window menu, and then press ESC to exit full-screen.

• AppleScript - extraire extract values from a table, create a text file with these values

  Hello world

  Lets say I have a table that looks a bit like this

  

  And this table I would create 2 text files (or even more, depending on how many switchnames are there) who look a bit like these

  

  

  Is it still possible?

  I suppose to create a Service (which can be called in numbers) with Automator which includes an Applescript script - but - no idea since the script is not one of my strong suits.

  There is not need to be perfect, because tables are not necessarily the model presented above - so to tweek the script to the application will be necessary. The text files can be created/saved in the same folder as the file numbers is in.

  Y at - it script-genius out there?

• Hit SPACEBAR poster Finder

  I had a very strange thing happens a few times. Without warning, suddenly whenever I hit the space bar, the computer switches the Finder. If it were happening now as I type this, in between each word, I come from the Finder Chrome to continue my note. It is a terrible mistake. The only way I found to make disappear is to restart.

  Because it happens so regularly once he starts, I was wondering if this could be a crazy feature found somewhere in OSX. Has anyone ever heard talk about this problem before?

  Consider the possibility of a conflict of third party software.  For an overview of what is installed/running is via EtreCheck.

• PowerConnect 2708-Reset switch

  I have a PowerConnect 2708 I want to reset back to factory settings.

  It shows, it is in managed mode, but I can't go to the web interface.

  I don't know what the IP address of the switch. I think I connect a laptop that is set to DHCP and I do an ipconfig, I come back with an IP on the laptop of 169.254.8.x and a subnet mask of 255.255.0.0, but it does not show a footbridge.

  I tried to get out of managed mode, then put again, but that doesn't seem to work.

  What should I try next?

  Thank you

  Rob

  To completely reset to the default values, use a paperclip to press the button "mode managed".  Hold the button for 30 seconds.  wait about 3 minutes for the reset switch and find in unmanaged mode.  Press and hold the button mode managed again for 30 seconds.  wait about 3 minutes for the switch to managed mode.  Now, try again.

  Default IP address is 192.168.2.1.   Try ping this address before you access it via the web.   Make sure that the PC is connected directly and 192.168.2.x network.

  Another thing to note is the duplex of your connection.  I saw on this switch management problems if there is a half duplex connection to pc for management.   A half duplex connection may result in not having management PC don't not defined auto-trading.

• [AS] How can I find files created in CS2?

  My company has 2000 + documents in a system that have been created using InDn CS2 and CS3.

  I need to be able to list all the files that have not been updated to CS3. I tried to question a known file from CS2 using applescript and in the FInder, but the result gives me only InDn with no version.

  I asked: file name, product version and the creator when querying the file type, but the version of the product does not work.

  The result is (*Vue.indd, InDn, *)

  Is it possible from the finder or do I to the InDesign script to query documents? Obviously using InDesign will increase the time of the query.

  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

  .. .but I copied the test saved as a TEXT file for some reason file even if she had ".indd" extension.

  Probably, you copied windows machine and because windows does not use this property, it has been updated by Mac OS by default: TEXT.

• [Req] script to update the links in Indesign using spotlight

  Hello

  I have a challenge, can someone help me please?

  I'm a graphic designer from Holland and I work with a lot of Indesign documents

  which links are missing because they are displaced, so that they are some share on our server.

  I have several scripts to connect the missing links, but they are slow,

  because they each directory and in each subdirectory. It takes some time.

  The apple search engine, Spot, is much faster.

  So I think that I have this great idea, I thought about the following:

  I select a missing link in the linkpanel in Indesign.

  Then I run the script.

  The path of the missing link is copied and ready to just the name of the file

  The name of the file is then copied to the Clipboard.

  The script then opens the dialog window to repeat the missing link.

  It the name of the image is pasted into the spotlight search engine.

  Here, the script stops.

  Click the correct file (if there is more choises) and recreate it a link is done.

  I think that this way of restoring links can be much faster.

  And you can also work with predefined smart windows (to limit results), for example:

  -a witch only shows jpg

  -a witch only shows tiff

  -a witch only shows pdf

  I know a very small little scripting, but this one I can't understand yet.

  Can someone give me help please?

  Best regards, Eric

• How to set up my desk now that I'm all Apple.

  I started the movement slowly, but now I'm here.  Entirely on Apple. Running all El Capitan.  My office is a Mac Mini w/server end 2014 w / 16G of RAM and 2 TB inside.  I have a 27 "Thunderbolt display end of 2015. I have an early 2015 15 "MBP w / 16G and 1 to inside. My company's system is also a beginning 2015 15 "MBP w / 16G and 512 G SSD inside.  I have a box USB 3 of 16 TB for the MacMini server.  I have a magic mouse, Apple wireless keyboard and the touchpad.  When I ran windows with 2 or 3 systems, I got TRULink KVM 4port (w / audio USB & PS2).  I wish I could spend just between the Mac Mini and each of the MBP I, the Thunderbolt display and using the Apple Smartkeyboard with magic mouse.  Is there a KVM out there that will allow me to do the same thing with Apple products?

  I have not used a KVM for a long time, but when I did the only thing I had to observe that it is supported by key press to switch to Macs or that he had a mechanical switch. Find a compatible with the Mac FVM to change keyboard and USB mouse will have no problem. I know not all KVM that supports a Thunderbolt display, but there are models that support display port. I don't quite know who take charge of BlueTooth. However done Logictech is a wireless keyboard that can be coupled to 3 different devices. I use one that I spend my laptop, desktop and an iPad, but I have two mouse on my desk.

• When I select the music app, Apple music page, but it won't let me see my music

  The MUSIC of the Apple Logo appears when I click on the music app, but it won't let me see my music.

  Take a look at the screen, you should see a choice to go to your music, as shown in this picture.

  

  If not, then double-tap the home button to get the app switch. Find the music application and drag up to force its closure. Then turn your unit off / and under tension. Open music and see if you see the link to open your music. It should appear under the free trial button.
