Privacy script problem
I've triple checked my typing on the clear Safari browser history script and it's exactly as you have it in the magazine. However, when I try to check syntax, I'm getting a syntax error of "Expected end of line but found number" on the line "tell menu bar 1". I'm not experienced at script writing so I have no idea how to fix this. Help!
P.S. This is from the September issue

Re: Privacy script problem
The script runs fine on mine. It looks like you have System Events version 1.1.1 (the old one.) You'll need the latest version (can be downloaded here) as stated in the magazine.

2. ???????? (use your imagination)

Re: Privacy script problem
I'm having a hard time finding that. The URL you provided isn't working for me.

Re: Privacy script problem
I did some digging around on the Apple site and finally found the download I needed. The script seems to work fine except for Safari. It didn't delete my history even after running it 3 times.

Re: Privacy script problem
This one works for me:
tell application "Safari"
activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "Safari"
tell menu bar 1
click menu item "Clear History" of menu "History"
click menu item "Empty Cache" of menu "Safari"
end tell
end tell
end tell
end tell

Re: Privacy script problem
My script works but for some reason when i double click on it it launches Script Edittor and I have to hit run. I have tried all the save as options all with different results.
Is there any way to have it jsut be an icon I double click and it launches and runs?
