OS X Mavericks :: Apple Script Not Allowed To Control Mac
Jun 6, 2014
I'm currently on Snow Leopard but I'm running Mavericks on an external hard disk as a test. Most things seem to be working OK; but I have some complex automation set up using QuicKeys and Applescripts. I've given QuicKeys permission in System Preferences>Security to control the Mac, and all its shortcuts work OK; but where it hands off to an Applescript the process hangs with an error message saying the script is not allowed to control my Mac.
In the Security pane two 'Applets' appear (no further title) and I've allowed these permission; but still the same error and no apparent way of enabling the script.
I've set the General tab to allow any application to run, but I can't see any way of proceeding. Is there a way of getting this to work? - I have several vital pieces of automation which work fine on Snow Leopard and I will need them to work on Mavericks when I eventually get a new Mac.

I've downloaded Maverick 10.9.4 to upgrade from Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Download is OK, but when asked which drive I wanted to install the upgrade on, and I choose the internal Mac HD, it tells me I can't use that drive for startup, and won't let me continue. Why not? Been doing it for years with Snow Leopard 10.6.8 on MackBook Pro 17". What now?

Checking out the WWDC keynote, I realised that there was no sign at all of Mission Control in Yosemite. Since they took away Dashboard and put it in Notification Center, any clue on where it is or whether it's been terminated? Any of the developers who have used the Beta program can tell me?

I disabled the ability to control my iMac with the Apple Remote when I got my Mac Mini (they were in the same line of sight).Then I upgraded to OSX Lion on both when it was released and I cant find the option to enable the support of remote again!(I.e the option isn't available/visible in System Pref. -> Security -> General) I just moved my iMac into another room and I thought it would be a nice feature to use it as a "TV" sometimes..

When I ask the iMac to speak a selection, it sometimes mispronounces words or goes between words too fast. Is there a way, like a special character or something, to change the way a voice speaks?

The Raspberry Pi is a microcomputer. So is my mini. The Pi has video & audio out. So does my mini. The Pi has I/O. So does my mini. The Pi has an OS. So does my mini.
Can I hook my mini up to an external breadboard & control LEDs? Can I use Objective-C or some other programming language or the Terminal to control the LEDs?

I'm taking a computer class in high school. The teacher's computer has Apple Remote Desktop to control any computer when necessary.
The problem is, the class helper has access to this computer and usually takes control of my computer and mess up with my computer project "as a joke". My only workaround to pull the Ethernet cord from my eMac before he does so; if you do it after, the computer stops responding until after a while when the cord is back in. This is usually when the helper leaves the computer; I assume he has to give me back control of my computer before I can use it.

When my laptop is connected to my Apple Keyboard, I can control the brightness with the F1 and F2 keys on my external Apple Keyboard. However, when I connect an external monitor to my MacBook Pro, the F1 and F2 keys no longer work.
Is there a way to control the brightness of my laptop's screen (NOT the external monitor) with my external Apple Keyboard even when an external monitor is plugged into my MacBook Pro?
I have the late 2008 uMBP.

I have a mac mini with 8 gbytes of RAM. When my wife and I are both logged in (but only one actively, of course),
the memory usage goes up to maximum (7.94gbytes). Of this, only 2.8gbytes are app memory, with 4 gbytes of file cache.
This seems ridiculously high. Is there a way for me to instruct the mac os to use less file cache?

Having just migrated from 10.6.8 where this problem didn't exist, I don't know where or what might be causing this in 10.9.3.
I run the JRivers music program Media Center and the normal player feeds the digital stream out the usb port to my DAC. It has 2 modes, starting up with exclusive access and not starting with exclusive access. I have tried it both ways with identical results.
If I run music thru the JRivers app and out the usb and then stop the player to have a browser (safari or firefox) play a video, the audio portion of the browser audio is sent to the front panel speaker and not to the usb port.
This wasn't the case with 10.6.8 where I would switch back and forth frequently. Now I have to restart the mac in order to 'release' the usb port back to the browser.
That is until I run the Media Center over usb.
I have run Audio Midi Setup, to see if I can 'release' the usb port, to no avail.

I've been thinking of using an iMac as a video player in my workout room. I'd like it to be able to grab videos (tv shows) from my main iMac. I'd also use it to play dvd's.
I was thinking of buying a used G4 iMac to do this, but would like to be able to use a remote control to use Front Row.
First, can I use Front Row on iMac #2 to get videos from iMac #1?
Secondly, does the Apple Remote Controller work with a ppc G4 iMac?

A number of times now my Apple brand Wired Keyboard has droped out of control. The letter keys work fine, but things like enter, return, the volume keys and more everything in that line will not operate. OF course, then waking it up from sleep becomes a problem and to get that back or any of the usual control I need to restart.

I have the new 2012 Macbook Air 13''. I had heard there would be an infrared port so I can use my Mac remote control. I cannot confirm. Is this part of the 2012 Macbook Air?

For example, i set up the time limit to 1/2 hour for both week days and weekends. But I still I can get more than 6 hours. I searched the forum, historically Apple OSX has parental control bugs in versions.
What's the fix or remedy or other apps to limit the hour? Some people point out "time limit" and "bed time" conflicts with each other, check only one on solved some people's problem. But it doesn't work for me

Mail.app (Version 7.3 (1878.6) under 10.9.4) is driving me nuts with its superfluous animation. I run dual displays. I keep my main Mail window on my secondary display. When I click Reply (or Reply-All), the email I am replying to flies out and does its cute little flyover to the main display.
Is there a way to control this lame behavior? I thought Apple was against animations for the sake of animation. It's completely useless and a UI hindrance. Jakob Nielsen laughs at this, by the way. (Suggesting that I use my main display is not a fix. The software should adapt to my behavior, not vice-versa.)

[URL:..] As our current MacBook Pros are assembled & manufactured by Foxconn, Apple is shifting to have Quanta Computer in 2010 to assemble and manufacture the next Macbook Pros. Somehow, Foxconn has a hit or miss on quality control, especially the issues we encounter like warped lids, dust under the glass, dead pixels, bad ram, black screen of death, video artifacts, etc. Does this CHANGE of manufacturers mean better quality control?

One day ago I allowed remote access control to my Mac Book Pro OS10.9.4 to a company pretending to be Apple Authorized Online Services. After discovering this was a scam I need to be sure that they didn't leave or installed any app (hidden or not) and if so, how to delete it to prevent them to access my Mac again.
It would also be useful if there is a way to find out which information they may have accessed during the mentioned "session".

I have a Mac Pro and not too long ago I swapped from a fat, heavy and filthy white Apple Keyboard to a new skinny silver one. I like it, and also love that the F7-9 Skip Back-Pause/Play-Skip Forward keys work for iTunes, even when another app is active (what's the word I'm looking for - in focus or whatever). But I use Optical output, so the volume keys (F10-12) don't do anything. I know that, when iTunes is the active app, I can command-+/- to change the volume, but I'd love to be able to map the F10-12 keys to do that - without having to have iTunes active (playing, but not the active window).

After installing an upgrade to IWeb my G4 OS X Panther version won't now allow me to change my website (hosted by mac). Troubleshooting directed me to upgrade to Tiger, so I bought Install Tiger discs on ebay and are nervous about loading them and stuffing things up.

I tried to enable automatic downloads of music and apps in the store preferences of iTunes in my MacBook Pro but this message pops up:
"You must authorise this computer before you can enable auto-downloads on this computer."
How do I authorise my computer to enable auto downloads? I was able to enable it easily on my iPad and iPhone.

Lets say I have a friend / family member and I occasionally allow them to use the delights of Safari and OS X. Now, I don't want replies stating if you don't trust them don't allow them but, is it all possible to have users not clear the history of sites they may have been browsing?

It seems kind of funny to me that none of the hardware was changed. I mean I can understand the iMac maintaining its current look, but the Mac Mini, Mac Pro, Time Capsule, & Airport.
I guess the design guys are so preoccupied with the exact degree of the curve of the next gen. iPhone that they completely forgot about anything else.

I'm hoping to update my RAM to the maximum allowed by my machine and would like to know how to find out what the upper limit on my machine is. I'm currently using a Blackbook and have listed the System Details below.
Code:
Model Name: MacBook
Model Identifier: MacBook3,1
Processor Name:Intel Core 2 Duo
Processor Speed:2.2 GHz
Number Of Processors:1
Total Number Of Cores: 2
L2 Cache: 4 MB
Memory: 1 GB
Bus Speed:800 MHz
SMC Version (system):1.24f2
Sudden Motion Sensor:
State: Enabled
Does anyone know what the upper limit of the machine I have is - or how to find it (is it 4GB or 6GB, not 100% sure. I think its 4GB), the best place to purchase the RAM and most importantly, what to look at when purchasing it. I know so far it's DDR2 667MHz.
