OS X Technologies :: Create A Log File?
Apr 24, 2012Been up for a while trying to figure this out with no luck. I created an app that will uninstall a program and all of it's files.Â
example try                   do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp"          end try    try                   do shell script "rm -rf /Applications/TestFakeApp2"          end try    try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp.plist"          end try         try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Preferences/com.FakeTestApp2.plist" end try         try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Logs/FakeTestApp*"          end try         try                   do shell script "rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/FakeTestApp" end tryÂ
there are alot more paths to remove but this is just a few for exampleÂ
I want to be able to create a log.txt file on the desktop to show what has been removed and or what could not be removed.Â
I then tried by creating a text document by usingÂ
do shell script "touch ~/Desktop/test.txt"Â tell application "Finder"Â open file ((path to desktop folder as text) & "test.txt") using ((path to applications folder as text) & "TextEdit.app")end tellÂ
but I don't know what to do next.Â
1. Have it check for each file to see if it was deleted or not
2. add it into the test.txt file
3. save the file once doneÂ

OS X Technologies :: Keep Getting Errors When Trying To Open JAR Files

The Terminal message I get when I follow the steps in another thread is this:Â

OS X Technologies :: Folder Action Does Not Run On SECOND File Only
Mar 7, 2012Does any one know of a bug or a log for folder scripts that do not run? I am trying to get a basic folder script (to replace %20 in the file name) of the Downloads folder.
When downloading multiple files (two or more) it runs only on the first file, successfully without error, and then never runs on the second file. If I move both of the files out of the Downloads folder and move it back it, the one file that does not get the folder action now does and everything is peachy.So it is not that the folder action is not scripted properly. It is just that the folder does not catch the second file download - guess maybe too fast? Has any one seen this or have this bug?

OS X Technologies :: Unable To Open Terminal Window?
May 9, 2012I am trying to do research on how to fix my current problem of not being able to open my terminal window. When attempting to do so I get the following error message:Â
You are unauthorized to run this application.
The administrator has set your shell to an illegal value.Â
I looked at some previous posts and some people said download iterm2 and put the following command: sudo chsh -s /bin/bash my_username. After this enter password and it should be fixed. However when doing that I get the following response: SC is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.Â
Couple of things, firstly SC (which is me) is the administrator to this computer (this is my computer and there are no other users on it).Â

OS X Technologies :: It Loads All File In The Folder When Tried Ro Move One
May 29, 2012I have a folder action set up to open movie files in a conversion app but every time I add a new file it loads all the files in the folder. How can i exclude a file that has already been opened by the folder action. I can't move the file due to queing up moves for conversion if the file is moved after it is opened the the program doesn't know where to look for it. Ive tried Filter finder items by last opened and set it as today but that did not work. It opened nothing. May I could set it up to know if the file has been there longer then 5 min that the folder action should not open it.Â

OS X Technologies :: Does The Exclusion Of A File Or Directory Remove Any Existing
Mar 15, 2012Does the exclusion of a file or directory remove any existing, already backed up versions of that file or directory from TimeMachine? I have a large file I don't want backed up every time I connect to my backup drive. It's 50GB+. I rarely touch the file, and when I do, I don't use it for anything that needs to be saved, it is a historical only version of my Parallels from an older Microsoft OS. I occasionally need to open it to just look at something, but never 'do' anything with it.Â
I want to exclude it, but don't want any older version of the file to be removed from backup. Does anyone know if exclusions are retroactive into the TimeMachine database? Given this is 50GB+, trying it to find out is a quite slow process.Â

OS X Technologies :: Add Account Privileges To A Newly Created File?
Jun 11, 2012I have multipe accounts on my Mac. Two of them need to share certain files, but not with everyone else so I can't use the Shared folder. When I create a new text file with AppleScript it has default ownership to the account that created it, but I need to give read & write privilages to it to the other account as well. I can do this manually, but there are lots of files sometimes. One trick I've found is to reset privilages from the next higher folder. This saves time, but sometimes I forget. Also when I do this it causes Time Machine to think all the files in that folder have been updated. If the folder is large it may cause Time Machine to purge a old backup version. What I'd like to do is find some AppleScript code I can use to add user "A" with read & write access to the permissions of a new file at the time my AppleScript creates that file.

Oct 18, 2010Today I tried opening my keynotes presentation file to make amendments to it and when I double clicked on it, the program loading bar only loaded up a third of the way and then hanged. I then tried to save it to a flash drive and use it on a different computer, but when I tried to copy it over to the flash drive it gave me this error: "the finder cannot complete the operation because some data in "garment styles" could not be read or written error code - 36".
I have tried changing the file extension to a zip, then unzipping it and then renaming it but that did not work.(It wouldn't let me unzip it). I have also looked at the index file name to see if that was the problem, but that is as it should be.
I have also tried uploading it to a website and emailing it and it will not let me.
Is there anyway I can recover this file as I have been working on it for over a month and it is due next week, or will I need to start again?
Software :: Unable To Open Encrypted File / Recovering The Original File?
Aug 23, 2009ok trying not to get a panic attack here. I downloaded espionge to encrypt my valuable files and while it was encrypting (AES 128 bit i think) the program froze and I had to Force quit it. Now I try to open my file (that i was trying to encrypt) and it looks f*^&# up. I can't open it, and when I tried to unmount the partially encrypted file, espionage gave me errors that it couldnt recover the original file.
I had basically all my life's valuable accumulated data in that folder (it was 10 Gb+). I will praise anyone to the end of my days that can somehow tell me how to restore my file to its original state. Usefull info:
1) AM planning to pay gazillions for recovery software if need be, but free alternatives are always better.
2) I never secure delete if that helps
3) I still have the .sparseimage for the file created by espionage. (P.S. sparseimage's size looks really close to the orignal, also 10 Gb +).
4) Newest version of OSX, and have an IMac.
5) after incident I haven't done anything (no installations or downloads) apart from writing this.
6) the encrypted file was gonna be in HFS+ i think
