I'm tring to build an Automator workflow that gets the contents of a folder and imports the contents into iTunes and encodes with AAC. The workflow works great if I use a rather small audio file, but then it chokes when I give it a file I need the assistance with... a 60MB, 3 hour long MP3 file. I get the error "AppleEvent timed out" from iTunes, an error I take to mean the Automator task has finished giving iTunes all the time it's prepared to fork over for iTunes to complete the importing.

I found a thread at MacScripter.net [ http://macscripter.net/faq/get_the_f...d=136_0_10_0_C ] dealing with this issue, solving it by using the command

with timeout of (30 * 60) seconds
......
end timeout

my problem is, how can I tell this Automator workflow this exact same thing?!? How can I tell Automator to have some patience and increase the timeout from ~2 minutes to 30min+?

Thanks anyone.

You can't-- it's a known bug (which is a good thing, in a way)

Thanks for the info. That's actually EXACTLY what I'm trying to do... import then make bookmarkable..



hopefully they'll fix it sooner than later.
