Create spoken caller ID ringtones for iPhone via AppleScript

it gets past the previous error, but now i get an error at the end that says:

"This operation could not be completed. You really shouldn't be getting an error here..."

and the process cancels. so i just changed it back to this and it works fine:

set RingPlus to document (index of (every window whose name is RingPlusName))

here's a sample ringtone if you want to test out your code:

Cool; thanks; that offered the answer as to why:

The file you provided has the annotated file attribute 'Title' assigned to the display name less the extension. iTunes does not do this when creating AAC(MP4) files, nor does Quicktime do so by default when doing a standard Export.

One may assign such attributes (e.g., Author, Album, Comment, etc.) as you may in iTunes MP3 and AAC metatags that are embedded in the file itself. So, whomever created this file had a reason to add the title Attribute, and QT respected the Title as listed, instead of displaying the file name as title, which is default.

I should have predicted this; sorry for the trouble.

Now, that said, my error handler works perfectly on this end. Would love to understand what is happening on your side, but I understand if you are satisfied with your changes and don't have the time.

If you do, let me know message me and I will send you a test script with more detailed error handling to try out.

Cheers

Rico

i'd like to figure out why it's throwing an error for me. it seems to fail right after it tries to export the new file. you're not getting an error when you use the ringtone file i shared?

No, I am not. Contact me directly, please, and let's work on it. My email is in the script and in the error message. Can't recall if you can message me from my name link on this post. -- F
