Hello, I'm currently trying to write a script using AppleScript, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. Basically, I'm trying to write a script that will hold down the "a" and "w" keys at the same time, and will continue to do so until I manually terminate the program. However, I'm not sure how to do this, and I don't even know if this is actually possible in AppleScript. Does anyone know how to code this, and if it's even possible to begin with? I'd greatly appreciate any help.

Hello, I'm looking for a way to pause a video that's playing on another player or browser. I need to pause the video because my app launches when users take a screenshot while watching a video, and it would be more convenient for them if they could pause the video at that moment. I know it's not easy to pause a video playing in another app, but I'm exploring the option of using Control Center > Now Playing to see if I can pause it that way. However, I can't seem to find a way to control Now Playing through shortcuts or Applescript, so I'm posting this message to see if anyone has any ideas or solutions. If you have any good ideas or solutions, please let me know. Thank you.

It is not possible to open a different Library with AppleScript. It always open the last opened library. tell application "Photos" open "/home/benutzer/Pictures/Testlibrary.photoslibrary" activate end tell

I just run a very simple NSAppleScript： "do shell script \"echo command\" with administrator privileges" However， I got error as below： NSAppleScriptErrorNumber = "-2147450879"; But it works fine on my friend‘s mac, anybody know how to solve this problem.

I've been searching for this for a few days now and haven't been able to find an answer. I use BetterTouchTool to customize my touchbar, and I've added an action that will love a song in Apple Music like so: if is_app_running "Music" then tell application "Music" try if current track is loved then return "loved" else return "love" end if on error return "" end try end tell else return "" end if end tell This works, but I realized that having a Smart Playlist of Loved songs means nothing if the songs aren't also in your Library. So, I tried figuring out how to also add songs to my Library when they're loved. I tried this: try duplicate current track to playlist "Library" on error duplicate current track to source "Library" end try end tell And it worked sometimes. I had to have the two versions in there for playlist and source because I found one worked for the auto-generated playlists Apple Music makes (like the "New For You" weekly playlist) versus songs from albums or your radio playlist. This is very unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. Honestly, most times it doesn't. It's hard to find any real documentation on how to work with Apple Music with AppleScript. I've gone through the Window -> Library view in the Script Editor and can see the list of possible actions and objects, but there's no direction on how they interact. For example, I would think you could simple do add current track to library playlist but that doesn't work at all. Any time I've tried using add with a track, I get an error that the track "doesn't understand the 'add' message". Is there a simple, consistent way to add songs to my Library through AppleScript? Maybe bonus points if it's an add instead of a duplicate? If I manually click and add a song to my Library, it's simple added – but with this AppleScript, I have to duplicate it instead of simply adding. Any help would be appreciated!

Just purchased a Mac Mini, and the Applescript folder is empty. Any ideas what happened/where it might be?

I am working on the Project and i'm facing technical issue. It is a exported app from applescript and i'm performing self delete means after the execution is complete it destroys from that location. I'm using the below shell script in applescript to invoke deletion **do shell script "sleep 5 && rm -rf " The .app path posix location" &"** When i run locally it is working perfectly but after codesign it is not working. Also when we copy the file to other location then it is working. I'm little confused and not able to identify the issue. Please help me out and really appreciate your help. Thanks & Regards, Rajkumar V

On both Ventura 13 and beta 13.1 this failed but in Monterey it works fine. I tried tccutil reset Contacts and I got tccutil: Failed to reset Contacts I tried tccutil reset AppleEvents and it was successful. I restarted and tried again. I executed count of groups again and I was asked to allow Contacts to be controlled. I answered yes and then I got Not allowed as in the attached screen shot Thanks for your help

Ventura 12.3 seems to have broken part of my Applescript applet – it no longer hides reliably. Previously pressing command-h or choosing the app menu=>Hide [applet] would cause the applet to hide. This has been working for over 5 years. Now, sometimes, the applet does not hide – instead it just loses the focus. Then, clicking on the applet does not give it the focus – but clicking on the titlebar does. But, often, the applet hides normally. I can't find a pattern except it might make a difference if hiding the applet would shift focus to Finder. If this is due to an announced change in Ventura can someone point me to the documentation ? Otherwise, what could be going on ? Thanks.

The Numbers library for Applescript supports setting the format of a range to several types, including "number", but there does not seem to be a way to set the number of decimals, or the format for negative numbers, or the thousands separator. Can someone help me with a way to do this, perhaps using System Events if there is no better way?

I used this script to automatically save attachments of some incoming messages in apple mail. Sine Monterey, this doesn't work anymore.

I have a folder with several subfolders. Each subfolder contains several images. I want to rename the images in each subfolder to folder_name & "_" & file_name, meaning I want to add the folder name to the image file name. Subsequently I want to move all images from the subfolders to the main folder and delete the subfolders. I have the image of my script attached. It returns the attached error message. Who can help me ?

We have a problem with curl. Under Big Sur, the command curl 'ftp://ftp.myserver/myPath/my File' -u 'myusername':'mypassword' properly downloads the file. Under Monterey, the same command throws an error: curl: (3) URL using bad/illegal format or missing URL Any advice, workaround etc. is highly appreciated. The behaviour is the same, whether the command is issued in Terminal, or as a shell script in a Applescript application created in XCode.

I have simple script to turn down the brightness of my MacBook Pro via an AppleScript. This worked fine in BigSur, but has stopped working after I upgraded to Monterey 12.0.1. The script is as follows: tell application "System Preferences" reveal anchor "displaysDisplayTab" of pane "com.apple.preference.displays" end tell tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences" to tell window "Built-in Retina Display" set value of value indicator 1 of slider 1 of tab group 1 to 0.0 end tell ..error is as follows in script editor: error "System Events got an error: Can’t set window \"Built-in Retina Display\" of process \"System Preferences\" to 0.0." number -10006 from window "Built-in Retina Display" of process "System Preferences" Any suggestions on what to modify to get it working again?
