I have been trying to find online sites that tell how to do this, but have not found any resources.
So how can I insert a timer into an applescript dialog?
I've tried finding Xcode examples of this, but no luck.
I'm trying to play a new track on a playlist every 30 seconds. Thought I'd play around with AppleScript. Here's what I've got: on run {input, parameters} (* Your script goes here *) tell application "iTunes" play track 1 of playlist "Night" end tell repeat 10 times delay 30 tell application "iTunes" next track end tell end repeat return inputend run This sort of works, but not until the 4th track on the playlist. It seems to play the first three for a few seconds, but passes over them very quickly (not 30 seconds).

I want my kids to have abot 30 minutes on the computer. After that time the screen saver should automatically come on and needs to have a password lock just like the normal screen saver.
View 2 Replies View RelatedIs there a filter or plug in for FCE 3.5 of 4.0 that will do a on screen countdown like if you are filming the space shuttle getting ready to take off, and you want to display numbers like min : Secs counting down to zero on the film it self? Is there one out there that anyone knows of?
View 3 Replies View RelatedI am looking for an iMac application, which is a timer of all sorts, in that I need something that can open and close applications at particular times.
I am trying to figure out how to make a movie or series of screen captures that are timed less frequently than QuickTime Player's Screen Recorder Feature. Basically, I want a screen capture every second or two, so I can go back and see what I did during the day. The Screen Recorder would fill up my hard disc very quickly. When I click on the menu item that is the name of the current application, go down to Services and then click on Service Preferences, I see something called Capture Screen using Timer: I can't figure out how to use it. I created a keyboard shortcut, as you can see, but when I try to use it, nothing happens. Is there any documentation for this service anywhere?

I'm creating several movies that will play before a church service begins. Usually we just buy countdown videos, but this time I thought I'd get creative and make some. There is always a countdown timer that starts at 5:00 and counts down to 0. This way people know when the service is going to start, from 5 minutes out. I have been searching and searching and cannot find any way to overlay a countdown timer in iMovie HD or iMovie '08 (I have both).
Can someone suggest something? I don't want just a countdown movie, it has to be only in the corner or something. I want to use some footage of driving to church, make it fast forward so it finishes in exactly 5 minutes, and have a countdown timer display overtop of that in a corner. I've tried using the Slick 5 Gallery for iMovie, but they just have countdown movies, not overlay. Also, the Labels & Overlays from stupendous software has a timer, but it only counts up.
I have skype going, I pay for both a skype in and out number, and I want it to go to voicemail even if I am online.
Right now, it just rings and rings and never goes to voicemail unless I decline the call or shut down the application. Which means if I am not there to answer, it just rings and never goes to voicemail.
On the skype website, it says to go to "Tools > options > calls > voicemail" to set the number of seconds before it goes to voicemail.... but that option doesn't exist in the OS X skype client!
When I try to start my new iMac, the apple symbol appears with the timer and doesn't do anything else. Been through the manual trying all suggestions in there, new with apple macs - 2 weeks old and a start-up problem? Not impressed!!

I had until now only used my macbook with "local" DVD from Region 2. I have a few weeks ago watched one single DVD from region 1, and had therefore to accept the region change in the pop-up dialog. I did accept knowing I would reverse to region 2 after.
I have not read an DVD until today, hen I am trying to load again a region 2 DVD.
Problem: DVd player or Handbrake do not see the DVD, (but VLC can), and I see no dialog offering me to change the region code.
1) where can I see what is my current setting?
2) how can I get DVD player Mac OS X to present that dialog, so that I can reverse to region 2?
Sometimes when I let my MBP (see sig) go to sleep with the screen open, I come back and hit the spacebar to wake it up and it doesn't give me the password dialog box to wake it from sleep. All i see is a black screen with the mouse pointer on it. This sometimes happens when I wake and DO get the password box but if I wait and don't enter the password right away, the box disappears and wont come back. In both cases I'm forced to push the power button to shut it down and restart. Any solutions to this, or is it just a fluke?
View 3 Replies View RelatedThe page setup dialog doesn't work on my new(ish) MacBook Pro. At first I thought it was just a problem with Excel, but the same thing occurs in Word, when trying to print pdfs within Acrobat, everywhere. When I bring up the dialog box to change the paper size or format, it lets me click on what I want, and the OK box lights up, but when I click 'OK' nothing happens. I can't make it register the changes. I've tried deleting and then reinstalling the printer, to no avail. What could the problem be?

View 4 Replies View RelatedSo, I was using my UB MacBook earlier today. I had a CD in the superdrive. I was shutting down the computer, and all of a sudden, as the screen was going black, the disk in my computer came out half way and the superdrive made a noise. I quickly restarted my computer to see what went wrong. I tried putting the CD back in, it didn't work. You all know how the slot loading superdrives suck in CDs. I now slide the CD in, and it won't get sucked in. In fact, the whole CD won't even go in. A little bit of it still sticks out. So now I'm stuck with a dead superdrive wondering what to do to fix it.

View 1 Replies View RelatedTrying to figure out why my new 2010 MBP is getting kernel panics. As a Mac newbie i consulted the manual + internet. Apparently if I hold down the 'D' key whilst booting then the machine should start the AHT, but mine doesn't.I need to insert the Applications DVD in order for the AHT to start.Is there any way I can install the AHT? Was it removed when I reinstalled SL?I also wish that Apple added some more information to the startup screen (like most BIOS based computers) - e.g. press 'C' to boot from CD ROM, press 'D' for AHT etc, because right now there's just no feedback or information for the user :-s
