[QUOTE="Slydude, post: 1307300, member: 131855"] Glad to help. Automator is one of my favorite features about the Mac. If you don't mind here are a few tips that might make your experience more enjoyable: 1. When saving a workflow as an application, service, o similar save one copy somewhere as a workflow. It is easy to make changes to these in the future if say the name of a server changes or you want to add another application to the list of things to quit. 2. I mentioned several websites in those articles that have additional actions for Automator. The actions label as Universal Binary or Intel may work under Lion. The ones labeled PPC will not. 3. Sometimes a major shift in the OS will break one of your projects. This happened with the shift from 10.6 to 10.7. Sometimes the workflows need to be completely rebuilt but often fixing the problem is as simple as opening the workflow in the newer version of Automator and re-saving it. [/QUOTE]
