"Show Note Error -1743: Not authorized to send Apple events to Notes
Closed this issue · 13 comments
Downloaded v3.6.2 and installed (for use with Alfred v5.5 in MacOS 14.5).
I was not asked to authorize.
I initiated this Alfred search:
n aviadores
I got spinning cursor (but with good results). I canceled the operation, and was shown the system pop-up below:
Manually checking authorizations, Alfred was ok for Full Disk Access and Accessibility. In Automation, Notes was toggled off for Alfred. I toggled it on, repeated my operation with Alfred Search Notes, and got the same error. Returned to the pref pane and found that Notes had toggled off! So I toggled it on again, claused/re-opened sys prefs, confirmed it was still toggled on, repeated my operation with Alfred Search Notes, got the same error, and discovered that Notes had once again toggled off.
Weird! Have you tried restarting your computer?
Ha, yes.
hmm, I can't think of anything short of creating a new user and seeing if it goes away :/
Can you please tell me how to do a thorough uninstall so I can try a reinstall?
Should be completely removed when you delete it from Alfred
Just fwiw....I uninstalled, rebooted, checked and double checked toggle of Privacy & Security>Automation>Alfred 5>Notes, and it was toggled on. I installed the plug in, tried to search, and got the following pop-up (my toggling before installation seemed to eliminate the previous, simpler pop-up).
Returning to prefs, Alfred>Notes has untoggled.
Like last time, the plug-in is searching correctly; the only problem is when I try to open the Notes page
(update: I just tried another Notes search, and after getting and retiring the pop-up, the Alfred search box hung. Could not even edit the entered search term.
do you have some anti-virus type apps running?
you could try testing the note showing function in Script Editor:
tell application "Notes"
set noteid to id of third note in default account
show note id noteid
end tell
No anti-virus apps.
Testing your script:
- First trial with Privacy&Security>Automation>Alfred>Notes toggled off. Result showed a Notes panel without content
- Second trial, with the pref toggled on. It worked correctly, and the pref did not automatically toggle off. I did however get this in Script Editor:
note id "x-coredata://99CD7EA2-EFBF-4ED5-800E-F05DB72E13BB/ICNote/p75926" of application "Notes"
Should I create a new user account and try again?
You could try changing the third line to show note id noteid in default account, does that make it work?
Do you have a very large number of notes? Are you using iCloud/local notes or do you have something like Gmail notes as well?
It worked (but so did previous), and reported the following in Script Editor:
note id "x-coredata://99CD7EA2-EFBF-4ED5-800E-F05DB72E13BB/ICNote/p75926" of application "Notes"
Do you have a very large number of notes?
Nope
Are you using iCloud/local notes or do you have something like Gmail notes as well?
iCloud/local, yes. Gmail, no. Nothing else weird with Notes that I can think of.
Hmm ok, I'm out of ideas other than trying it with a new account
Add to the annals of "try unplugging it and plugging it in again": I created new user, the plugin tested fine. Logged back in as my normal user, and now it's working here, as well.
I got a pop-up asking for permission, which I don't remember seeing previously. But now I can use plug-in without getting that pop-up (or error pop-ups).
If only cold fusion could be this easy....
ha, works every time! Funny that it fixed it on the normal user too.
