CORE GOALS
1.Learn to construct a macro that can be used in various situations. For example, the above SPECIFIC PROJECT might last for longer than 45 minutes. Or the date would vary in other live recording situations.
2. Learn to test specific actions or a smaller sequence of actions so that I can locate problems.
3. Solve projects that I have given up on because I could not understand the communication on the forum.
5. Learn to use preformed "execute script" actions and macros that already exist in the KM library. Concerning KM Library macros, usually I have a hard time figuring out what they do and how they are used.
6. Learn to use actions including use of screen shots of buttons or menu of apps. This never works.
What does this mean? I'd guess that most people's Macs are connected to their home network whenever the Mac is active, and most home networks are connected to the internet either permanently or on-demand. Do you have a different setup?
Record what? The entire screen, the frontmost window, a defined area, something else?
Is that the "Morning Meditation" folder inside your home folder which is on your M1 Mac? Or does your home folder contain an "M1_Mac" folder which contains the "Home_file" folder which will contain all your saved "Morning Meditation" files? Or something else?
Will you be logged in and active at these times, will you be waking your machine at 6:50am so it's ready, or do you expect this to happen completely unattended? Remember that your Mac must be awake for "Time of Day" triggers to fire -- and you must be logged in, the Mac awake, and not have the screen lock/screen saver active for you to record the screen.
That seems like a lot of questions -- but trying to explain what you want to do (a "Statement of Requirements") in enough detail that someone else can implement it is difficult. We all have our assumptions, but we rarely assume the same things!
In another post that seems to be deleted now, she mentioned that she tries to turn off her Wi-Fi while she's sleeping at night. I remember this distinctly because it was so unusual, though she didn't say why. I took the other post to mean she turns off the router, but this post seems to suggest she disables the Mac's Wi-Fi.
Either way, I'm still a bit baffled and feel some clarification would be very helpful, perhaps even explaining the reason for this because I have to wonder how necessary it is. The only thing I can think of is maybe she has pay-as-you-go internet data or something and doesn't want the Mac using the internet on its own; however, this doesn't strike me as terribly likely considering how she's recording 2.5-hour long live webinars, which would cost a fortune with pay-as-you-go data.
I don’t think that routinely turning off WiFi is “so unusual”. I could suggest a few possible reasons, but in any case the stated requirement will be due to personal preference or need that can just be accepted as part of the macro’s specification.
@Ellenm, you can turn your Mac’s WiFi on by using the following shell command inside an execute shell script action:
Now, it could be that your Mac’s Wifi uses a different interface than en0—but if so, the command will find the correct “airport interface” for you anyway!
If you then want to stop that window from appearing, you can change the relevant dropdown menu in the action from “Display results in a window” to “Ignore results”.
Sorry, I have been absent. I turn off my modem at night because the WiFi waves have the greatest effect on the brain during sleep. The modems close to our bodies have the most effect on us. So, I also turn off my phone at night. I know I sound weird, but I do work using energy for healing. It’s not wifi energy, but I know that very subtle energy can be powerful for both healing and harm.
