Q: applescript stopped working, error -1708
Hi,
Applescript has stopped functioning on my computer as of yesterday.
No applescripts are working. The problem has appeared on four other Macs in our office.
Here is a sample of what I am seeing running the script in ScriptEditor:
tell application "Finder"
try
mount volume "afp://10.143.2.217/Production_FP/"
end try
end tell
Results in:
tell application "Finder"
mount volume "afp://10.143.2.217/Production_FP/"
--> error number -1708
«event ascrgdut»
--> error number -1708
mount volume "afp://10.143.2.217/Production_FP/"
--> error number -1708
end tell
I am seeing the same error code whatever AppleScript I run.
Running on a Mac Pro 2.26 GHz Quad-Core Intel Xeon, MacOS 10.8.4.
I have restored various files from the Time Machine backup, but none of them has fixed the problem.
Could anyone please tell me which files I should try to restore, or any other way to fix the problem.
Mac Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.4)

AppleScript is supposed to redirect the command to the current application for compatibility with earlier versions. Did this start after a software update or something? You might try running the 10.8.4 combo update, which tends to clean things up a little bit better than the delta update.
