Similar to the post on this page about Mac OS X 10.9 (Mavericks), to resolve this issue on Mac OS X 10.8 (and likely on earlier versions of OS X also), you need to ensure that the “Enable access for assistive devices” option has been enabled in the Accessibility pane of System Preferences. Then, just check the checkbox left to the AppleScript Editor and the error should be gone. Go to System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Privacy > Accessibility. On Mac OS X 10.9 you actually get the same error when the AppleScript Editor is not allowed to use Accessibility. Check the box next to any Mizage apps (Divvy, ShortStop, etc) and System Events, if present. Returning a list of coordinate pairs, such as – is that what you were trying to get? Solution no. Enable Accessibility on macOS 10.10 Yosemite, 10.11 El Capitan, 10.12 Sierra and 10.13 High Sierra Open System Preferences > Security & Privacy Click the Privacy tab. This works for me: tell application "System Events"Ĭopy w's position to the end of windowPositions Navigate to the Mail directory in the Library directory. Hold the Option key and click on the Go menu. To install MsgFiler Engine, follow these instructions: Quit the Mail application. AppleScript seems to incorrectly return that error code when it tries to access windows of a process that can never have any windows (in my case it was “Google Chrome Helper”). MsgFiler Engine is an Apple Mail Plug-In that works with MsgFiler 3. The problem is not the assistive devices.
