OS X Technologies :: Script No Longer Working?
Mar 30, 2012
I have the following script that worked just fine last year, but since upgrading the OS it no longer works as it should. First it only scales and save the first image file of a batch to the 'Photos' folder and does not scale and save any to the 'Thumbs' folder.

I am successfully using this script I found to extract hyperlinks from RTF text:however I need to copy each file to the desktop and change the file name to do so.How can I add to the script the ability to
1 - choose a folder
2 - choose a destination folder
3 - loop the script to process all files found in the folder?Â
I am a new user and I have several students messages all with the same patterns.
set filePath to (path to desktop folder as text) & "students.rtf"Â
set startDelimiter to "{HYPERLINK ""set endDelimiter to ""}}"set linkDelimiter to "Read this message"Â
set rtfText to read file filePathset text item delimiters to startDelimiterset theItems to text items of rtfTextif (count of theItems) is greater than 1 then  repeat with i from 2 to count of theItems      set text item delimiters to endDelimiter Â
[code].....

This morning, On my Macbook Pro, I was able to use the option-tab shortcut to cycle through windows within an application. This afternoon, when I do the same keystroke, I just get a tab character. Or I cycle through the links on a website.
The option key is working, as I can use other keyboard shortcuts. I even plugged in an external keyboard and it is responding to the option key. But the shortcut option-tab appears to no longer be working.
I have the fear that I accidentally pressed some weird key combination without realizing it that remaps the key for accessibility purposes. I've looked around the system preferences and I can't see anything that would reassign the combo.
Does anyone have an idea of what happened?

I've been using a 6870 in my Mac Pro 1,1 for over 6 months now with virtually no issues (some minor artifacting a few times). Earlier this week, the Mac Pro would no longer display any video. Display works fine, as I've tested it with a Mini. I tried connecting a different display to the Mac Pro, still no video. I've tried removing RAM, resetting SMC, PRAM, etc....Â
The Mac Pro chimes, boots up fine, keyboard responds. Only issue I can find is with the lack of video. I tested it with another brand new 6870, and still no video. I thought perhaps I downloaded some kind of Apple update that affected the 6870 working with it?BTW, I've also tried booting from a drive with Snow Leopard as well as powering on with no drives installed to see if I could get the flashing folder.Still no video of any kind.

So I use an external USB harddrive with my airport to backup my computer. The harddrive is 250gb and the computer is 250gb (with about 40gb free space) - previously this worked for backing up just fine...then one day it stopped and started telling me it required "251.46gb" but the drive only has "249.05"...why if I'm at only about 210gb of actual space being used?
So I reformatted the drive and tried again - same error...anyway to make this work again...seems so odd that it was always fine and then just quit one day.

I finally grudgingly installed Lion and have had NOTHING but problems ever since! Now my CS 4 apps won't open. I get the message Your license is no longer working - error 150:30 Apple support could not help me. I went to Adobe support online and tried all the fixes they list none of which work.Â

A few days ago my macbook pro stopped getting iMessages. Interestingly I still get SMS from all of my non-apple friends. I have checked to make sure everything looks right, logged into iCloud account, etc. Double checked on my iPhone as well. My iPad and iPhone still communicate with each other and receive all messages. Running most current OS on all three devices.

My 1.2 GHz G4 iBooks Firewire stopped working recently. Have tried zapping pram, reloading OSX etc but no luck. Fortunately USB is still working fine so I can still use my external 500GB hard drive, but I can't download video from my aging Sony video cam.
Any suggestions, other than chucking it and getting a new Macbook/Pro? (Which I plan to do sometime anyway, but would rather prolong the life of my iBook for the moment if possible)

Yesterday my macbook's wifi started getting really slow to the point where it takes 10 minutes to load a webpage. I reseted my router and everything but it was still slow. Then I noticed that my iMac and Ipod touch had full internet speed and everything. What happened? I didn't do anything different from my normal routine at all.
I was running on old firmware for my macbook and decided to attach an ethernet cable to get the latest and greatest but it didn't fix the problem.

Last few days my flash no longer works.
YouTube videos play (can hear sound) but just a black box, unless I full screen I can see it. All other flash (e.g. Dailymotion, Vimeo) don't play at all.
Works fine on Safari, but not on Firefox and Chrome.
I have uninstalled Flash, no luck.
Is this something to do with the hardware acceleration?
I have a silver unibody MacBook.
EDIT: I'm on 10.6.3 Snow Leopard

I have the Mozilla Firefox web browser version 2.0.0.20 .
I clicked on a Google image of the NAFTA Super Highway and the picture at the site opened with Internet Explorer .
I didn't have Internet Explorer on the computer before this happened .
Since then Internet Explorer pops up after I go on line with the Mozilla Firefox browser .
I could not get it to stop, so I moved it to the trash and it is still being held there . This is what I removed .

Before this, I'd open my mail, click on an web address in blue type, my browser would appear and the web site would open .
Now in mail when I click on a address that appears in blue type , like this [URL]= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
ERROR
Mail was unable to open the URL [URL]No associated application
could be found .
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Do you know if there is a application missing, or could it be something else?

It seems like the server has gone down or something in the past few days. My settings originally used in Thunderbird for my iCloud e-mail are no longer valid. Anyone else having the same issue? I am able to receive e-mail but I cannot send. I've tried resetting my password and using various outgoing servers including [URL] and [URL].

I have two POP email accounts that have been working quite well on my MacBook for several months. About a week ago one of them stopped receiving emails. I have deleted the account and set it up again to no avail. If I check the account information it lists all the emails on the server. I can open it on my browser and the mail is being delivered just fine there - just not on my imail account. The two email accounts that I have are set up the same and only one is receiving mail.

I have 10.5.8 and I think I read that in the latest FF update, Java is disabled and with my version of software, no way to make it work anymore. Is this true? I have an onlime game that I think requires Java to play and I cannot access the game today and am wondering if that is the reason. I could play yesterday, but not today, it hangs when loading. It could be the game site itself, but I got to thinking about Java and did some research and saw that Java is only supported now in 10.6 and higher. If it is a java issue, is there any way to get it back and working with my system? I tried accessing it using Safari, same issue, hangs in same place.

My email has been working just fine until a couple of months ago. I gave up however I do miss receiving email on my MacBook Pro. I'm receiving my emails using my iPhone and if I log in to yahoo! however it stopped working with Apple Mail. I have not changed any of the settings so I am puzzled why it is no longer working. For the last couple of months I've been trying to figure out why but I've had no luck. Â
My email account is an [URL] account. Also my other friend is having the same issue with his [URL] account.Â

I just recently upgraded my 2010 macbook pro RAM. I went from 4gb to 6gb and now my backlit keyboard is no longer working. I have tried messing with the keyboard settings as well as the F5 and F6 buttons. The keyboard does not even come on in low lit conditions. Why is my backlit keyboard no longer working?

Before last week, I was always able to go to http://localhost. Now all I get is Unable to connect. I don't care if I go to http://192.168.1.xxx or 127.0.0.1. Still won't work. It use to go to whatever my index.html file was. Now nothing. What might have happened?

I've been using my M Mouse successfully with my MacBook until recently when the Mouse Pointer no longer moves. The button does engage the dashboard and if I position the cursor using the MacBook trackpad, then the click function of the mouse does work. I have tried changing the batteries. It appears I am having a similar problem when I use a wired mouse. Just in case it's connected, I run Parallels and did recently upgrade Windows software.
