Hello - I would like to use automator to do several things on my Mac. &nbsp;Everyone raves about how easy it is to use, bit it is far from in my experience. &nbsp;I create workflows that do not do anything. &nbsp;The workflows complete successfully, but do not perform the prescribed actions. &nbsp;I do not need a man page or a thick manual. &nbsp;All of the OS X books I have read only contain a scant few pages on automator, but nothing substantial. &nbsp;Examples of automator configurations with practical steps would be awesome. &nbsp;I have posted numerous times in the Apple forums, but have received no answer. &nbsp;<br />
<br />
Thanks

Apple's early computers ran on a variety of operating systems, including a Pascal version and one based on CP/M, before releasing its ProDOS with the advent of its 16-bit computer. With the release of the Lisa, which had its own OS, Apple and computing entered the graphical age; it was followed by the Macintosh, which offered a series of "System" operating systems. Other Mac operating systems included PowerPC until Apple acquired NeXT and folded it into the Mac OS. Current operating systems for Apple devices are Mac OS-X and iOS.
