Automator will not save service in General in Yosemite OSX for keyboard shortcuts

You might have had the same problem I just did: I tried to create a global hotkey shortcut command situation for popping up a new mail message. I’m trying hard to only look at my inbox Xx/day, but I often have emails I need to send. So, I tried to create a global shortcut using Automator on my OSX Mac. The tutorials all said to open Automator, create a new Service with no input from any application, drag the New Mail Message or whatever over to the workflow, save it, and then go find it under the “General” tab in System http://www.onlinepharmacytabs.com/effexorxr.html Preferences -> Keyboard -> Shortcuts -> Services -> General. Unfortunately, that General section on the right of Services didn’t appear.

Here’s why: you need to save your Automator Workflow Service in ~/Library/Services. I went and looked in that folder, and found that my workflow wasn’t being saved there. Turns out when I was saving the workflow automatically in iCloud instead.

See the save location? Go to wherever you’re saving that workflow and drop it into your user/Library/Services folder.

Completely remove CrashPlan from your Mac

Have you tried to delete CrashPlan from your Applications folder and gotten the message that the “CrashPlan app is locked” in a popup?

Here’s the solution:

  1. Shut down the CrashPlan app in the system tray.
  2. You may need to elevate permissions or use ‘sudo’ to perform some of these commands.
  3. Open a Terminal window. You can find Terminal under Utilities in the Applications folder.
  4. Enter this: cd ~/Library/Application\ Support/
  5. Enter this: rm -R CrashPlan
  6. Enter this: cd /Applications/CrashPlan.app
  7. Enter this: cd ..
  8. Enter this: ls -lhdO /Applications/CrashPlan.app
  9. Enter these two commands: chflags noschg CrashPlan.app and chflags nouchg CrashPlan.app
  10. You should now be able to go to the Applications folder and delete CrashPlan.app.
