So I have a shell script called > tm.sh which gets the last time time machine successfully backed. This works fine in the shell, script editor, automator doesn't work as a calendar alarm. I'm unsure why the "do shell script" line is not working tm.sh #!/bin/sh enabled=`/usr/bin/defaults read /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine AutoBackup` if [ "$enabled" == "1" ];then lastBackupTimestamp=`date -j -f "%a %b %d %T %Z %Y" "$(/usr/libexec/PlistBuddy -c "Print Destinations:0:SnapshotDates" /Library/Preferences/com.apple.TimeMachine.plist | tail -n 2 | head -n 1 | awk '{$1=$1};1')" "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` echo "$lastBackupTimestamp" else echo "<result>Disabled</result>" fi My calendar alarm Automator > New > Calendar alarm > run apple script Calendar Alarm AppleScript on callDateSeperator(dateChange) set yN to text 1 thru 4 of (dateChange as text) set mN to text 6 thru 7 of (dateChange as text) set dN to text 9 thru 10 of (dateChange as text) return {yN, mN, dN} end callDateSeperator on run {input, parameters} set timeMachineLastDate to (do shell script "sh ~/Desktop/tm.sh") set tmDate to callDateSeperator(timeMachineLastDate) display dialog (item 1 of tmDate) & (item 2 of tmDate) & (item 3 of tmDate) return input end run I have given full disk access to automator calendar error: this error comes because "timeMachineLastDate" has no value. The action: "Run AppleScript" encountered an error: Can't get text 1 thru 4 of ""."

Hey everyone, that's my first post 🐣 I'm trying to create a services that lets me add highlighted text into an existing note on the notes app using the keyboard shortcuts control+W and also have it in show up under the services menu. I think the script itself (attached below) is working. when I try to use it outside of automator I'm getting this access permission error : The action “Run AppleScript” encountered an error: “System Events got an error: Automator workflow Runner (WorkflowServiceRunner, WIDK) is not allowed to send keystrokes”  the services isn't showing up in the right click menu. the first script I created using automator actually added the services to the service right click menu but any it disappeared and I don't seem to be able to add new services. when I open automator after saving and closing it, I can't locate the services I saved, it's not showing up in the finder window of existing services. I've tried using JavaScript to do this but it's was impossible to figure out my way around the retrieval of a specific note based on it's name so I'm using apple script : on run {input, parameters} (* https://www.macosxautomation.com/applescript/notes/02.html *) (* https://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/271161/how-to-get-the-selected-text-into-an-applescript-without-copying-the-text-to-th *) -- Back up clipboard contents: set savedClipboard to the clipboard -- Copy selected text to clipboard: tell application "System Events" to keystroke "c" using {command down} delay 1 -- Without this, the clipboard may have stale data. -- remove formmating of the selected text that was copied onto the clipboard -- and set it to a temp var called noteHTMLText whice later be -- concatnted onto the body of the note set noteHTMLText to "pre style=\"font-family:Helvetica,sans-serif;\"" &amp; ¬ (the clipboard as Unicode text) &amp; "/pre" -- Restore clipboard: set the clipboard to savedClipboard tell application "Notes" tell account "iCloud" tell folder "Notes" set currentBody to get body of note "WIDK" set body of note "WIDK" to currentBody &amp; noteHTMLText end tell end tell end tell beep 2 --https://stackoverflow.com/questions/21503589/play-a-sound-when-applescript-is-done return input end run Thank you for the help, Daniel

I'm having issues with executing AppleScript from the application helper bundle, which is contained in my main application bundle. I have a simple helper application bundle which only loads my script located in helpers' bundle Resources using NSAppleScript API and executes it. Script is really simple, it basically just deletes some other application bundle. I've tested the script as standalone and everything works fine. When I run the helper bundle everything falls apart. I'm getting -1743 error (Not authorised to send Apple Events to Finder). My helper bundle is not sandboxed, has enabled apple events in the entitlements file and I've added NSAppleEventsUsageDescription key to the plist. If I run this from Xcode it works, same if I execute the binary contained in the bundle from command line. Any ideas what might be causing the issue?

I have an applescript application created in Script Editor on macOSS 10.14.6 - it is save as a run time only application and iss signed with hardened runtime. I have the following keys in my plist: NSAppleEventsUsageDescription com.apple.security.automation.apple-events I was having issues running the applescript application and it was suggested that I run "tccutil reset ALL" in terminal. This removed all my apps from Security &amp;amp; Privacy/Privacy/Automation tab. Great. But now when I run the app I always get the Not Authorized to send Apple events to Finder. I never get prompted to allow access. How can I reset set it so asks for permissions?

Anyone had issues with running scripts on Big Sur? I get a command not found error and I’m guessing its a toggle or a command or a back age that needs to be added to enable it or its blocked by default for security reasons?

Many valuable, valid AppleScript terms (e.g., "AXRaise") are not documented in the AppleScript command, statement, value, handler, event, object, keyword, and class references, etc., that are published on developer.apple.com (e.g., at https://developer.apple.com/library/archive/documentation/AppleScript/Conceptual/AppleScriptLangGuide/introduction/ASLR_intro.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP40000983). Has Apple (or anyone else) ever compiled a complete, comprehensive dictionary or list of all of the terms that are available and valid for use within AppleScript?
