OS X Mavericks :: Using Automator To Change System Preference When Opening App

Jun 21, 2014

I have been using a Mac for a good 8 years now and I'm a happy user. I recently found out about Automator ('hey what is this little robot for?') and what it can do, yet I lack the knowledge of finding out what I must do to make a script to perform the following thing:  When I launch an app (FL Studio), I want the box checked next to 'Use F1 and F2 as standard function keys' in the Keyboard preferences pane in the System Preferences app. When I close the same app (FL Studio), I want the box unchecked next to 'Use F1 and F2 as standard function keys' in the Keyboard preference pane in the System Preferences app.  

I have found several other topics about this subject, however, those were about scripts when logging in to your computer, and not upon opening/closing an app. Please note that I am seeking for the setting to be changed when the app is opened and closed.

I can't open the Security preference pane in System Preferences. I can open desktop settings, spotlight, expos & spaces etc just fine, but the moment I click 'Security', I get the spinning beach ball, system preferences freezes and I have to force shut it down. I made a quick video using Screenflow to demonstrate the issue (the beach ball doesn't seem to appear in the video .. it did though)

OS X :: Installing Preference Pane To All Users - Windows Freezes

Aug 8, 2010

I just did a fresh reinstall of 10.6 after my hard drive crashed on me last week. I'm reinstalling my preference panes, but am running into a problem. Whenever I try to install a preference pane for all users, it asking for my credentials as usual. Then the window becomes unresponsive and starts to pinwheel. When you check the dock, System Preferences is listed as "Not Responding". I've let it sit there for five or so minutes and nothing changes. If the preference panes comes with an installer (like iStat Menus) I have no issues.

MacBook Pro :: No Inertial Scrolling - Cannot Find Option In Preference Pane

Jun 11, 2010

I just bought a new 13" MPB from the Apple Store today, however after using it I noticed there's no inertial scrolling. I'm using the old hard drive from my 2008 unibody macbook so would that have something to do with it? I can't find the option in the preference pane either.

Safari :: Block Cookies Always Selected In Privacy Preference Pane

Feb 20, 2012

What's up in Safari 5.1.3 Cookies. After removing all the website data, I recently chose "Block Cookies Always" After opening "Yahoo" in Safari, I looked at the "Privacy Preference Pane" again. It now reads "Block cookies Always" and says 37 websites stored cookies or other data. I looks like the choice to block cookies has little effect on Safari. Is there any way to protect yourself from unwanted cookies? By the way, in order to sign in to the Apple discussion website, cookies must be enabled.

MacBook Pro :: Deleted IPhone USB From Network Preference Pane - How To Get It Back

Mar 9, 2012

When I tried to connect to the Internet via my iPhone on my MacBook, it didn't want to connect.I turned off the Personal Hotspot and rebooted the iPhone. This didn't solve the problem.Then I deleted the iPhone USB network interface from my Network Preference Pane, in the hope that if I would add it again, the problems would have been solved. There's only one new problem now, I can't add the iPhone USB network interface anymore.Is there a way to get my iPhone USB network interface back in the Network Preference Pane so I can use my iPhone as a Personal Hotspot via the USB?

Intel Mac :: "Preferences Error: Could Not Load Desktop & Screen Saver Preference Pane"

Mar 19, 2012

I just install Lion 10.7 from scratch using a bootable DVD I made from the Install Mac OS X Install ESD Dmg found within the app.  After restoring my accounts and data from a time machine backup, everything seems to work fine except for 3 preference panes within the System Preferences, (Desktop & Screen Saver, Energy Saver, and Spotlight.)  I've tried reinstalling Lion over the current installation, I've tried reinstalling the latest combo update, I've trying repairing disk permissions, I've tried installing System Preferences app as well as each individual .prefpane, none of which worked.  When trying to run the preference pane I get: 

"Preferences Error.  Could not load Desktop & Screen Saver preference pane."  Replace Desktop & Screensaver part with Energy Saver and Spotlight respectively for each pane. When I run the preference pane, here is the output from the console: 

3/19/12 6:13:04.765 PM System Preferences: [NSPrefPaneBundle instantiatePrefPaneObject] (/System/Library/PreferencePanes/DesktopScreenEffectsPref.prefPane): principalClass is nil. 

All three give the same error, again replacing DesktopScreenEffectsPref.prefpane with the corresponding pane.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Address Book Disappears After Opening

May 29, 2012

My address book flies up above the top of my screen when I open it. It will appear when I hit F3, but then it disappears again when I click on it to open the page.  

I can move the application to different desktops, where I can see the very bottom of the window, but am unable to use the mouse to drag it down to where it can do me any good. 

On a frustrating meter, it's probably a five-and-a-half, or six. It's been like this for several weeks, and I probably ought to get this figured out before too much longer. 

My software all seems to be updated. I've force quit the application, rebooted the machine, and nothing seems to be giving me any satisfaction.

OS X V10.7 Lion :: Preference Panes Not Opening

Jun 27, 2012

My preferences panes on my osx lion 10.7.4 macbook pro won't open directly. I can still go to spotlight and type "system preferences" and open them from there, but the following don't work:

* clicking the apple and click "system preference"

* clicking the network icon and clicking open network preferences

* goign to spotlight and typing anything but system preferences: (network preferences, displays, Keyboard, etc) They all have a blank page icon instead of a preferences icon When I do click them, an icon briefly shows up in the dock then disappears. It looks like an application that has been downloaded but not authorized. With the pencil and protractor
