Jul 1, 2012

Intel Mac wont start after I changed my hard drive permission to let me read and write, then I clicked apply to all enclosed files. I turned it off no problem. Then it never started up again in os x. The grey screen with apple logo appears,then after a minute it restarts, and will keep doing that if i let it. I can start up in windows xp, but I don't know how to do anything in windows xp that will affect os x. I can use the hard drive in target mode. I use a macbook to view target disk.

OS X Technologies :: MYSql Doesn't Start After Restoring Harddrive From TM Backup?

Jun 11, 2012

Macbook Pro running Lion V 10.7.4 .After a hard drive failure this weekend, I restored frm my most recent backup.Unfortunately this did not include svn, host file changes and some other fairly easy to correct things.The one that has been giving me trouble for the last 8 hours is mysql. I have gone through and removed mysql (multiple times) and did fresh installs. Each time I was getting the error: 

ERROR 2002 (HY000): Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/tmp/mysql.sock' (38) 

Even after changing my /etc/my.cnf file to point to var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock I would get these errors.  

Are there multiple locations where mysql points to /tmp/mysql.sock?  

I am at a loss of what to do. I have uninstalled reeinstalled. Tried many different solutions all to reeive the same error.

MacBook Pro :: Keyboard And Track-pad Disabled After Installing A USB Driver From The Apple Website?

May 13, 2012

While trying to fix my disabled USB ports on my MBP, (Installing some sort of USB driver that wasn't made for my specific OS, which is 10.7.4, which came from the apple website.) I rebooted my computer and I notice that once the loggin screen shows up the cursor won't budge. Then I try hitting Enter on my mac and the arrow keys a little. Nothing. Then I try using every key on the keyboard. Absolutely nothing. Tried resetting the PRAM, SMC, AND tried using Safe Boot. Nothing. At this point I wanted to smash my computer or smash something technology related. The only thing that works on my computer now is the little slim of hope that I call Windows 7 which I am posting this from.Is there ANYTHING I can do to enable my Trackpad and Keyboard again?

OS X Technologies :: Combine 2 PDF Files Into 1 Using Apple-script?

Jun 22, 2012

I am just starting out with applescript and could do with a pointer please. I have written a script which saves two pdf files from an active Illustrator document in the source folder of that document. The issue I am have now is that I cannot get the two files to combine into a single PDF file. The whole script is quite long and is works apart from the combine PDF part?

tell application "Finder" try open (every document file of container of file_path whose name contains ".pdf")  on error display dialog "no PDF file located"

[code]....

Both PDF documents open and are set as the variables docRefA and docRefb, but the acrobat command 'bring to front' and 'insert page' do not seem to be working. I get an error come up in an illustrator dialog box saying "Adobe Acrobat Pro got an error: document "84056_R1.pdf" doesn't understand the bring to front message".

OS X Technologies :: Change Desktop Background In Apple-script In 10.7?

Mar 23, 2012

I'm just now upgrading from 10.6 to 10.7, and I'm having trouble with a script that I wrote that worked fine under 10.6.  In part, it executes the following command: osascript -e "tell application "Finder" to set destop picture to POSIX file "<path>"" to change the desktop background image to one of two different files based on other conditions. In 10.7, this command completes with no error code, but it only changes the background of one of my four desktops.  Is there a way to programmatically change the background image of all of my desktops simultaneously?  Failing that, is there a way to a) find out how many desktops I have and b) loop through them, setting each of their backgrounds in turn? osascript -e "tell application "System Events" to set picture of every desktop to "<path>"" Unfortunately, that also changes only the current desktop's picture. The larger script is in Perl, so I'd prefer a technology that works well with that language, but if I have to change to a different scripting language, that's not the end of the world.

OS X Technologies :: Listing Folders In Apple-script Popup?

May 30, 2012

im looking for a more elegant way to list of folders in a popup for users to select at the beginning of my script and use as a path variable.the path i need to filter through to make the list is similar to the following: /Volumes/Network Drive/A/Client Name(s) starting with A//Volumes/Network Drive/B/Client Name(s) starting with B/ other folders will be created in the folder they select.  The complications:  All the folders i want to list are divided into folders labelled with each letter of the alphabet.Also there could potentially be hundreds of these folders once consolidated to a list The current script lists the entire file path in the popup. I want the entire path to be set as the variable but just the folder name to be listed in the popup These are the scrips i have started with but would love a better way to combine and clean up.  

(*set mainList to {"A", "B", "C", "D", "E", "F", "G", "H", "I", "J", "K", "L", "M", "N", "O", "P", "Q", "R", "S", "T", "U", "V", "W", "XYZ"}choose from list mainList with prompt "Choose Client"set listchoice to result as text*)set the_folder to (path to desktop) as stringset with_subfolders to trueset inc_folders to true set the_files to get_folder_list(the_folder, with_subfolders, inc_folders)return the_files on get_folder_list(the_folder, with_subfolders, inc_folders)          set the_files to {}

OS X Technologies :: Create An Apple-script To Install Printers - Can't Seem To Get It To Work

Mar 21, 2012

I'm running 10.7and I'm trying to create an applescript to install printers.  I'm able to run the first command without issues but the other two keeps giving me error messages in applescript. I assume its because the other two commands have spaces? These are the commands I run when in Terminal: 

/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p CX560 -E -v lpd://CX560/print -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/US-Letter/CX560_V1.PPD -D FireStationCX560 

[code]....

This is the only command I can successfully run in AppleScipt: 

do shell script "/usr/sbin/lpadmin -p CX560 -E -v lpd://CX560/print -P /Library/Printers/PPDs/Contents/Resources/en.lproj/US-Letter/CX560_V1.PPD -D FireStationCX560"

OS X :: ITunes Missing Track Info?

Oct 20, 2010

I have been using iTunes with PC for about 5 years or more and never really had any problems ripping my CD collection, even when I switched at one point to using dbpowerAMP and then importing into itunes manually. I'm using itunes to rip again now.

Now I have my first mac (mac mini 2010). I am starting to import parts of my CD collection that I never had room for on my old notebook PC.

So before I went to bed last night I tried to rip and import 3 CDs using itunes exclusively now to do the ripping because I have come to the realization that itunes plus AAC is good enough for my ears and especially my equipment (ipod classic 160gb & Senn PX-100's). Now these 3 CDs I know for a fact the iTunes Store sells and definitely has the artwork and track info for.

Well, the first 2 CDs loaded artwork and track info fine after I remembered to check in the settings about the artwork anyway..

Then comes the 3rd and newest CD I tried, Eagles OF Death Metal's "Heart On". I stick it in the mac mini's slot *giggles* and then the iTunes pane at the top center of the screen keeps scrolling and saying something like "searching for grace-note whatever".. Then after about 2 or 3 minutes of that it just gives up and acts like it doesn't know the CD and lists the songs as "track 1, track 2" etc..

Now this CD is immaculate. It has been ripped before on my PC with no problem. I double checked to make sure the iTunes store sells it because in the past I've had to download my own artwork if it's something they don't sell in their store.

So I'm at a loss here I don't want to have to enter all this info manually as I have about 500 CDs to rip and only being on number 3 I didn't know if it was just this one being trouble, or what to expect how many are going to do this?
