An introduction to Apple Script for Noobs 

Thanks! As a beginner and whose first language is not English, your tutorial is so easy to understand and helped me so much!

Hello , as a completely noob for who this tutorial was, I must say that You are a great teacher, especially in this case. I didn't follow anybody, cause I have no Instagram, but based on this tutorial I was able to make similar thing - some kind of Facebook event inviter for educational purposes, the difference is - when You are in the highlighted "all friends" option You have to make about repeat 24 times 48 key (tab) before You get to first friend selection option (I thing because of too many groups and events I had to avoid) and then a little bit of delay and bigger repeat. You have to make "repeat" key code 36 key code 48 as many times as many fiends You would like to invite. Ps. I knew that will be necessary to make longer delay, even as powerful device as MacBook still don't know that he has to go back when he will make a mistake and he goes still making some crazy clicks;)

Thanks for the tutorial! Really like that you used a sort of real world example and showed a little troubleshooting

You have just introduced me to a whole new rabbit tunnel thank you!!!!!

You misspelled AppleScript in the title and once in the description. I kid. I kid. Definitely one of the best tech tutorials I have ever seen. Mischievous example is funny as hell. Packed with real-world scripting scrapes & bruises. The stuff learning is made of.

Awesome! Loved this tutorial! Learning for the sake of learning today and this tool has made my day. THX

Tim I can tell you that's genues job you did. Why did you stop does tutorials 🤔 you have great knowledge just keep going 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 That's diagnose a problem is really nice, you had a problem and you solved ☺ I'm subscribe 🍀🥳🥳

Used this tutorial to make a program to like this video, thank you so much. This is really easy to understand and well put together.

Years after this video dropped just used this to write my first code on my older mac. You made scripting code look easy! thanks man!

Thank you so much! I'm a complete novice and I did it with your guidance!

I loved the tutorial! Loved the relaxed approach to it too, it was like we were all in it together! I really want to build a good solid knowledge of AppleScript and these little tutorials are a great place to start. As a side note, I just do not understand people that leave negative comments. "Your style was rubbish, you're a noob, use a better language" Why don't y' all fuck of somewhere that has all of these things and take your negativity with you too! What a waste of energy, and oxygen for that matter. Well done, Tutorial Tim. Look forward to seeing more.

I have seen other videos with much more advanced programming and hundreds of thousands of views and subscribers, however, the only flaw they have is lack of decent explanation, so thank you, and by the way I have no sense of doubt in your capabilities concerning programing

Bro that tutorial is 10/10, I like that you were working through it and troubleshooting along the way, perfect!

Amazing tutorial mad a script that takes it to your channel and automatically subscribes xd

Thank you for the tutorial! I used this for a slightly different purpose, but it worked even with an older mac.

You don't need to know the keycodes, you can just enter 'keystroke' like. `keystroke "l"`

I am pretty darned experienced with AppleScript, but i still watched this bc it seemed interesting XD

is it weird if I'm having fun watching this tutorial??

Oh my god thats the first ever text interface ide programming language ive ever learned😂

Thank you so much for this tutorial. It helped me so much. Also idk if this is just for me but just pressing enter didn't work for me. I later figured out that i can use (control+enter). Thanks again

You've made my day! Thank you! Helped a lot!

Great tutorial, exactly what I was looking for but I noticed when the user has a story, it takes one less "tab" for some reason. Is there anyway around this, this one thing seems like it will put a kink in the works if I want to loop this program.

Perfect tutorial. thank you so much

Just a quick tip you could add “/followers/“ to the end of the url so that you wouldn’t have to go through the stuggle of the “231m followers” search things

Perfect tutorial. Subbed and liked!

Dear Tim thanks a lot for this tutorial. I am going thru it again and again. :-) What I found as a good helping tool is to make shortcuts in keyboard. Like ks - Keystroke, kc - key code, ta - tell application. That function makes things faster. Any chance to see more tutorials for AppleScript? J

Very well done, Tim, Thank you. --Chuck

What a simple yet powerful script lol

Great tutorial!

I am a teacher that has to fill out behavior forms multiple times per day found in apple pages. I want to be able to voice command on my iPhone XS to then get my computer to open pages, select a new document template (the form) and then dictate a message at a specific location within the form (comments section on end of form), then possibly email it out. If possible, each time I fill out a new behavior form, I'd like the computer to then add a mark to another chart that records behaviors and when they occur. Is this feasible?

Thanks, great presentation.

Nice! Thanks for sharing 🙌🙌

Hey man, could you perhaps teach us how to autoclick?

Thank you Timmy!

Can I stop it in the middle of the script? If so how?

Amazing where can you learn all the command from Apple script ?

How much would you charge to help me set up 3 scripts?

In Germany we don´t know what "fast Internet" means:D

Why when you use the record function, does nothing gets recorded?

Thanks bro

Could you make a tutorial to use script editor to make events for Apple Calendar? I've been trying to use Apple's documentation but its too confusing for me.

Figure out how you're going to present and get to the point. 2:47 in and I'm bouncing out. ✌️

i aint a noob. i just need a script editor

AppleScript is basically human language

Thanks for this tutorial, I will need some help from you to create a (for me) difficult script. I would like to send you an email. but I can't find your contact info. I hope you can help me. Thanking you in advance.

id subscribe, but you've got 420 subs and id hate to mess that up....

About a month ago, following the instructions I found in Apple Community, I was successful in using Calendar and Script Editor to create an audio appointment reminder. It worked fine; it was just what I wanted. Unfortunately, I was unable to do it today. Today, when I clicked on Script Editor, the window I got said Script Editor--iCloud at the top. I don't know how iCloud got into the act. Could this be why I can't create an audio calendar reminder now?

430th sub ;)

aw man, that was the 1st tut coming from "apple script" query and a bad one. 1 you should use instagram API 2 start introduction to language with basic syntax like variables, methods, standard library... etc this one was not for noobs, but by noob.

Google Chrome is no-no.

I have gaming mouse now: deleted Minecraft LOL

PLEASE organize your thoughts and stop fumbling around about what your want to say, it is very distracting and confusing. TheMacU.com has good lessons, study how it is done.
