Network advertising readers and apple script editor or
I have a new laptop Mac. I have it on a Windows domain and I get my drive mapping in the sidebar when I connect with my AD account. When I change my account to a mobile account, I lose the map in the sidebar. I get it if I connect to the server, but does anyone know how I can get there?
I did some research and I thought of making an Apple Script would be the way to go. I'm a total newbie when it comes to the Script Editor, but I managed to do work properly when I have a connection of network here at work. But if I bring home, of course I'll get an error. Here is where I'm stuck. I need help to create a "if exists" so if a user is at home when he's trying to turn up the volume it will not give an error message when it fails.
Here's what I have so far. When I press the hammer icon it is not an error, but when I press the play button it give me a 'walk', but disappears as soon as he says.
Tell application "Finder".
If there is "smb://abc/EmployeesHome" then
turn up the volume 'smb://abc/EmployessHome' as username "username".
other (* Nothing *)
end if
tell the end
Any help would be appreciated!
You should check the thing, as for example address public IP of the computer to determine which network it is. Methods of doing this include:
the script "curl http://ipv4bot.whatismyipaddress.com/"shell

Find and replace in the script editor
I wonder if there is anyway in the script editor to perform a search and replace? I can do a find by pressing cmd + f then if I hit shift + tab, I can stick it to the highlighted area which is great for a couple, but when I have a bunch of stuff is a pain. I want to just do a replace all in the editor. I can cut and paste the script in the editor for this, but I hope there is a key combination which makes appear a replacement all the dialogues.
Unfortunately there is no gimmicks to replace. It's just not there.
Another feature request Paul!

I am learning Apple Script and I came across a roadblock. I was playing around with "get position and it does not work."
The script is: tell application "Finder" to get the position of Finder window 1.
It compiles OK but when I run it I get this error: error "Finder has been an error: cannot get the window id position Finder 661 ' number 1728 from the position of the Finder window id 661.
My latest version of Mac OS is 10.11.5.
The script editor version is 2.8.1.
Also I use Apple Training Series: Applescript 1-2-3.
Thanks for any help.
Replace postion by position.

I have the following problem with the script editor. I have a script that goes through a spreadsheet Numbers cell-by-cell and examines the background color for each cell. If the background color is yellow it it turns green. I couldn't get this script to work therefore inserted a Display Dialog statement in the loop to show what background color has been found. After seeing the color of a few cells, I hit the button cancel from the dialog box display. After that I can not open the script editor - it starts but they appear then the beachball and it's there. Force quit the script editor does not resolve that question does not restart my Mac. I noticed that there was an update waiting for OS X El Capitan, I have so installed. Strangely, after the script editor open, and I was able to run the script, but after cancelling the dialog box display I'm stuck now even once - script editor crashes on opening - I still think trying to open my script. How can I get around this?
I am running OS X El Capitan, version 10.11.6 MacBook Pro (retina, 13 inches, end 2013) 8 GB of memory
Original post updated.
Looks like it is a problem with the Script Editor. I downloaded a trial version of script debugger and it runs the script without problem. I tried to run other scripts that I knew used to work and that they will not open with the script editor.
Can I reinstall Script Editor without having to reinstall the entire OS X?

Apple script to check the part of iTunes library XML with another application.
Y at - there no apple for script
Set 'share the XML library with other applications iTunes'. under the name selected
- iTunes
- Preferences
- Advanced tab...
I want to read itunes Media Library .xml, but in the last version of iTunes without xml is created by default,
so I want this XML created by my application through the apple script.

I don't think you can change that setting via AppleScript, however once you have enabled then the XML file will be generated and updated every time that the library is updated.

Hello
Question is: How can I talk text edit app to take five first (seven, etc) words in the document and place it in another file? and any other words with specified numbers, EQ words of 4 to 8 in this text?
Thank you
The following script assumes that you already have a document open in TextEdit. It will prompt you for all of the words you want to extract in another document. This prompt looks like this to select the first ten words. You can also specify 4.9, or of a different range in the number of words in the document.
Copy and paste the following in your Script Editor AppleScript (launchpad: others: Script Editor). Click on the hammer to the compilation and the adjacent button icon to run it. You must save this twice. First of all, as the source of the AppleScript by selecting the file menu: Save... File format: text. This will add the extension of applescript to your script source. Press the option key and then file menu: Save under... and your file Format can be scpt, scptd or application. Put this one on your desk and quit the Script Editor.

Apple Script to apply rules in Mail.app
- I've created some rules in my Mail.app to change the background color of specific messages
- And I also created rules in the mail server in order to move the messages to a folder
For messages in the Inbox folder, everything is fine.
But if the message has been moved by the server rule in another folder, then rules the Mail.app do not apply (and reasons twisted, this is normal: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH19162?locale=en_US & viewlocale = en_US).
Then if I apply the rules manually by pressing Command + Option + L < code > < code >, Mail.app rules will apply as they should.
I want to automate this action. Is it possible with Apple Script? Can you help me with this? The steps would include, I guess that:
- Choose the smart folder "today."
- Select all messages in this folder;
- Perform the action "Rules" for selection.
< pre >
using terms from application "Mail".
Tell application "Mail".
the value of the message_count in HOW-TO-GET-MESSAGES-FOR-TODAY-SMARTBOX County
Repeat with i from 1 to the message_count
the value this_message to article i of MESSAGES TODAY ' HUI-SMARTBOX
say this_message
-That's something like the RULES APPLY
tell the end
end repeat
tell the end
end using terms from
< / pre >
If it is not possible for a smart folder, then I want to do, it goes all messages in all mailboxes mailbox (or with messages in the specific mailbox).
Apparently, this is not possible as long as such action is not be scriptable.

I have House part for my iPhone and apple TV, but the iPhone libraries are not listed under computers on Apple TV. I don't see libraries for my Mac. I use the same identifier apple through the three devices. I have an iPhone 6 more working 9.0. The devices are all on the same home network running.
You can't share a library that is located on an iPhone, iPod or iPad with other devices. You can only share a library that is located on a Mac or a PC with other devices. On other devices, iPhone, iPod and iPad for example, you then activate home sharing to connect to the shared library.

Open ssh server files automatically with apple script
Hello from respected people
I am trying to build an apple script first terminal connection open ssh with details and after connecting, it will open a python script which is on ssh server automatically. I want to do all these tasks in a script unique apple. I already tried to build automatic ssh connection and I did. but I am facing problem, how can I call a python script in ssh server automatically.
as if I had a python files in ssh server /home/exe/ai.py
so I want whenever I run Apple script it connect in ssh and ai.py opens automatically.
I'm new in the apple script please help
I tried it here 3 days but no luck, please help me
At first glance, it seems to me that you need to refresh your ssh.
# ssh some.host python /home/exe/ai.py
will ssh to the specified host and run the command "python /home/exe/ai.py".
To run this via AppleScript, put it in a shell script command:
the shell script "ssh some.host python /home/exe/ai.py.

Operating instructions for the dictionary of the Script Editor
I was wondering if there was a tutorial or some other type of documentation to understand and consume literature dictionary in Script Editor. I don't know what my problem, but I can't understand not just how to turn the information in there in script code. Here is an example. I have asked the following question on stack overflow.
Once I get my message subject, I do not understand how to move it to a different folder/mailbox. What is an action on the Message, mailbox, the account or other? I see in the dictionary that the message object has a property of the mailbox, and it doesn't have the (r/l) on this subject, so I guess that is not read-only. I can't understand how to edit.
In applescript, I know it is something like:
move message to mailbox "mailbox/folder name" of account
... but the javascript doesn't really work like that. You will need to perform methods/functions on variables/objects, right?
In any case, this is where I get frustrated by the documentation of dictionary and would like a sort of primer on the way to understand. If you want to jump over to the stack overflow and fix my specific problem there, would be great also.
Thank you

"Script editor" can not be changed or deleted because it is required by OS X.
Script editor has stopped working for me and hangs at startup, which need to be force quit. This problem started after a simple script that I wrote to manipulate a Numbers spreadsheet crashed. I fear that whatever caused the crash left Script Editor in an unusable state. However, the operating system reinstallation has not fixed the problem and apparently Time Machine is not allowed to restore the folder app Script Editor of time when he worked for security reasons (see the title of the post). Any ideas on how to get the Script Editor rerun or bypass terrifyingly paternal security of Time Machine? Thanks in advance you all.

Hi all
is it possible to create and test the IPCC script with a Publisher without connecting to the CRS Server?
Concerning
Yes, assuming you have CRS 4.X simply select the button "Log on anonymously" to the initial splash screen. He can throw an error, then just to click OK.
If you have a 3.X CRS, so you don't have to login to open the script editor.
HTH, please remember to note all messages!

Everyone knows the script editor, v7, crash at startup in standalone mode?
I get the message of java that the connection to the server is not available, the status bar moves a bit, and then it stops.
If I am connected to the server, I'm fine.
Any help would be appreciated.
Mike
Hi Mike, I think that there are some old posts on similar problems. There is a known bug related. A quick test, please try to close to the top of the editor on the client PC. Right-click on the icon of the editor on the desktop and select Properties > Compatibility tab, check the box for "Run this program in compatibility mode" and choose "Windows 2000" in the menu drop-down. "" Check to see if that makes a difference.
Hope that helps!
