I am trying to use applescript to disable Siri, and I need to click the confirmation button.
Here is my code:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.speech"
end tell
delay 0.5
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
-- click checkbox "Enable Ask Siri" of window "Siri"
if value of checkbox "Enable Ask Siri" of window "Siri" is 1 then
click checkbox "Enable Ask Siri" of window "Siri"
end if
click button "Turn Off" of window "Dictation" of window "Siri"
end tell
end tell
The following line is the one that is not working
click button "Turn Off" of window "Dictation" of window "Siri"
The button you're trying to click in on a sheet, e.g.:
Change:
click button "Turn Off" of window "Dictation" of window "Siri"
To:
click button "Turn Off" of sheet 1 of window "Siri"

I'm pretty new with apple scripts, and I'm trying to change the focus mode in the system preferences via Apple Script (the shortcut way is not an option). And I found one script that enables the Don't Disturb mode. But it doesn't change the mode.
How can I inspect the window and click select the focus mode?
Here is the script:
tell application "System Preferences"
set current pane to pane "com.apple.preference.notifications"
end tell
delay 0.5
tell application "System Events"
tell application process "System Preferences"
click radio button "Focus" of tab group 1 of window "Notifications & Focus"
click checkbox 1 of group 1 of tab group 1 of window "Notifications & Focus"
set theCheckbox to checkbox 1 of group 1 of tab group 1 of window "Notifications & Focus"
tell theCheckbox
set theCheckboxStatus to value of theCheckbox as boolean
if theCheckboxStatus is true then
display notification "Do not disturb is on"
else
delay 0.2
display notification "Do not disturb is off"
end if
end tell
end tell
end tell
And this is the window:
tell application "System Preferences"activateend tell
tell application "System Events"
set _0 to "Standard"
set _90 to "90°"
set _180 to "180°"
set _270 to "270°"
set preference to application process "System Preferences"
click UI element "Displays" of scroll area 1 of window "System Preferences" of preference
delay 1
click button "Display Settings..." of window "Displays" of preference
set monitor to window "LG 4K HDR" of preference
click monitor
set options to pop up button 1 of tab group 1 of monitor
set portrait to value of options is _270
click options
if portrait then
--switch to landscape mode
click menu item _0 of menu 1 of options
else
--switch to portrait mode
click menu item _270 of menu 1 of options
delay 5
click UI element "Confirm" of sheet 1 of monitor
end if
end tell
tell application "System Preferences"quitend tell
Result: error "System Events got an error: Can’t get button "Display Settings..." of window "Displays" of application process "System Preferences"." number -1728 from the button "Display Settings..." of window "Displays" of application process "System Preferences"
The above code is an automator script that pivots my monitor works until Mojave. After I update my mac, it doesn't work.
I actually don't know much about Apple Script. I got an error from 'click button "Display Settings..." of window "Displays" of preference'. I was trying to change 'button' as 'UI element', index, and system language. It doesn't work.
I think the error is because the button name is an ellipsis character and not triple dots ...
Can you try replacing that line with this instead (Monterey):
click (first button of window "Displays" of preference whose title starts with "Display Settings")
I want to issue a keyboard command to toggle the checkbox "Change picture every 30 minutes" in OS X for Desktop 1 (my main monitor desktop). I have multiple monitors so it may be necessary to identify which particular preference pane to manipulate.
I have set up the start of an AppleScript, but I'm at a loss how to formulate how to identify this particular check box:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
end tell
tell application "System Events"
tell process "System Preferences"
click menu item "Desktop & Screen Saver" of menu "View" of menu bar 1
delay 2
tell window "Desktop & Screen Saver"
click checkbox 1 of …
It's in tab group 1. You can recognize this with the help of the Xcode tool Accessibility Inspector (Xcode > Open Developer Tool > Accessibility Inspector in the menu bar or Dock).
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set the current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.desktopscreeneffect"
end tell
delay 2
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
click checkbox "Change picture:" of tab group 1 of window "Desktop & Screen Saver"
end tell
I'm trying to make an AppleScript to change an option in System Preferences. The checkbox is revealed by clicking "Mouse Options..." in the "Mouse and Trackpad" menu of the "Accessibility" pane. The script I have written so far is able to navigate through System Preferences so that the desired checkbox is visible to be clicked. However, I can't find a way to click the checkbox, seemingly because the checkbox is within a sort of 'drop down tab' on the window. None of the tutorials I have found online deal with this specific issue.
My code so far-
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set the current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
get the name of every anchor of pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
reveal anchor "Mouse" of pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
click button 5 of window "Accessibility"
end tell
end tell
The desired checkbox is "Scrolling". I expected that the following code would work, but it does not- it clicks checkboxes in the background, not the one in the tab.
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
click checkbox 1 of window "Accessibility"
end tell
This is my first time using AppleScript, I should mention. Any help would be much appreciated.
The 'drop down tab' is called a sheet:
tell application "System Preferences"
activate
set the current pane to pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
reveal anchor "Mouse" of pane id "com.apple.preference.universalaccess"
tell application "System Events" to tell process "System Preferences"
click button 5 of window 1
click checkbox 1 of sheet 1 of window 1
end tell
end tell
