Switch to another app and turn VO off and on again, then go back to Automator and it should work fine with a few bits of sluggishness. On Jan 13, 2010, at 4:00 AM, Jim Gatteys wrote: Hey Buddy! Not sure if somebody else has answered this because I'm not to the end of reading my emails. I

Hi, guys. In my experience with this and I've had a bit since Snow Leopard and none before, ironically, grin the busy thing can usually be fixed by switching out of automator and back in. In other words, hit cmd-tab twice. I have absolutely no idea *why* this works, but it usually does for

So I want to get started with Automater, except I have a problem. I can't figure out how to stick an action in the work flow. And I can't find a stupid people's set of instructions. Someone wanna hit me with the clue stick? -- Buddy Brannan, KB5ELV - Erie, PA Phone: (814) 860-3194 or
