AppleScript File not open with write permission error
I have an applescript that works perfectly on my local machine. It opens the file and writes to it and then closes. My Applescript is being tested and saved as a .app so it is an application. When I put the application on my server to test out the user experience it never propely opens the file and gives me this error:"File not open with write permission.Finder got an error: File not open with write permission. (-61)"Why would this work on my local machine and not work after being downloaded from my server? I have tested that my path's are correct and like I mentioned everything works perfectly on my local MAC machine. Here is the section of my Applescript code that seems to be throwing the error:set motionFullPath to ("" & pathEffects & "" & effectPlugin & ":" & theFolders & ":" & motionFiles & "") as string set myFile to open for access file motionFullPath with write permission set endOfFile to (get eof myFile) as number if result > 0 then set theText to read myFile set eof myFile to endOfFile write "<!--uuid:" & theURL & "-->" & return & theText to myFile end if close access myFile

Not being prompted when removing a root CA
We have our own root CA that is installed with our application. For non-MDM installs, the system asks if the user wants to do that, which is all well and good. It also used to ask us when removing that certificate. It doesn't now. So now I am wondering if I dreamed it, except other people say they also got prompted and don't now. It's being installed and removed using the security command, in scripts.

Extract .iwa files into .xml format
Hi all, I am trying to find a way to export the content of a .pages file into .xml format. That can be done saving the file to '09 version and then unzipping and working on the xml file. But I would like to do it also with .iwa files. I am trying to find a workaround to translate pages file on windows platform without need to pass through word extension, or the '09 format (in order to reduce DTP at its minimum). I am coding on Python... Thank you so much for any suggestion!
