Mac Commander Plugin (Legacy Ver 1.1.0)

[Colorado4Wheeler]

You said you didn't see the iTunes 'script' anywhere but it was part of my example for you to run, I wanted you to run iTunes to see if that worked because if it did then the problem is in your CP Home application rather than a system issue.

Sorry. I tried the script you posted:

Code: Select all

set remMachine to "eppc://Display:[email protected]"
tell application "Finder" of machine remMachine
	open file "Macintosh HD:Applications:iTunes"
end tell

and get the same error, application not running.

edit: The app I’m trying to run, CP Home, works fine when executed on the remote machine.

Interesting article about the issue:

Carl,

Have you read viewtopic.php?t=12857

Although it’s talking about Indigo itself, some of the workarounds might help you? Eg have you got old/multiple copies of CP Home?

I have looked thru that but and tried some things but nothing has worked.
Definitely no old or multiple copies of any of the apps I’m trying on the remote Mac.

Very curious how others have made this work.

Thanks,

Carl

To maybe help confirm, I have 3 Macs and have tried quite a few variations of the eppc script to control
various apps on all of them with no joy at all.
The only OS the script(s) will consistently work on is 10.8.

I don't know what to tell you, it works for me.

[ckeyes888]

That's encouraging for sure. Guess I'll just keep at it.
If anyone else has had any luck with it sure appreciate seeing your scripts!

Thanks,

Carl

I'm not sure what else you want me to do or say, I've posted the script that works on all of my Macs, I've tested the plugin and it works, from my side of things there is nothing broken and I do not know what is happening with your system. Even as I'm sitting here updating that plugin to do other things it's working time and time again.

I have tried with kodi, apple store and FaceTime. i can start the applications but i can't shut them down.

Love to try the above script from mortenkols but not sure how it was executed.
Is it run from the AS app?

Thanks,

That's a debug dump from Mac Commander. If you want to run that command then run Mac Commander.

The Quit command doesn't work in the current version but is fixed in the upcoming version.

[ckeyes888]

Guessing that’s what I’ve been doing. Don’t see a debug option anywhere.
Maybe try that?

Thanks,

If it doesn't work from AppleScript Editor then it won't work from the plugin either since the method is the same. That AppleScript I posted for you to try is pretty much what the plugin is doing in this regards, if it were me I would do everything in AppleScript Editor until it works and if you figure it out then you can let me know and I'll see if that's something that can be done in the plugin.

According to everything that you have posted thus far you ARE doing that PRECISELY because using Mac Commander runs that exact command and obviously it isn't working for you. This is not a plugin issue, it's a system issue - you even cited a Stack Overflow article on it that also pointed to it being a system issue that was resolved with a reboot (for the person who had the issue).

Thanks a bunch for all your help with this.
I’ll post back if I can get it working.

What is the content of your CP Home script? I was able to reproduce getting an 'Application isn't running' when trying to run an elevated script and am curious if your script is invoking something that is no longer permitted.

[ckeyes888]

I’m not at home for a bit but it’s a simple “Tell Google to load a URL”. That executed fine on the remote machine.
I also tried controlling iTunes and a number of othe apps on the remote machine that all return the app it running error.

Thanks,

Carl
