Complete stranger needs help with AUTOIT script

[Islarama]

I am new to the forum and know next to nothing about writing a script for autoit. I want to use it to click away an annoying error message in itunes automatically anytime it occurs. How complicated is that? Is it something someone on here would do for 20 bucks or it is not an easy thing to produce?

It is fairly easy to do it using AutoIt. I recommend that you try out AutoIt yourself, the wiki has some good resources: https://www.autoitscript.com/wiki/Tutorials

Or if you are feeling lazy, you can hire a freelancer... like me (LOL, advertising) .

Or you look in the itunes menu

iTunes > Prefs > Advanced > Reset All Dialog Warnings

BTW: Could you please give meaningful titles to your threads? Everyone on this forum is looking for help

Take a look on WinWaitActive and Send or WinClose. Usually you can solve it with 2 or 3 lines

While 1 ; do it forever
    WinWaitActive("Kill this window") ; when a window named "Kill this window" shows up
    WinKill("Kill this window") ; kill it with fire
    Sleep(100) ; and sleep the sleep of the righteous
WEnd

Well, that means about 10 bucks a line.
Islarama, would you please hire me ?

Do comment lines count? I can write really good and long comments

10 bucks a line, I haven't heard prices like that since college.

and also no game interaction discussion, so delete that last part, it should not helps.

Wow!  And I've been doing it with

While 1
    If WinExists ("whatever title") Then WinKill ("Whatever Title")
    Sleep (101)
WEnd

I like that your solution uses a wait function instead of repeatedly polling, Jefrey.  Wonder why I never thought of that.  This is the reason I frequently check the forums even when I'm not working on a script.  You can pick up jewels here.

Guess I'm too dumb to understand what to put in the ("what ever title") part... first person to post a full working script that automatically closes this error  get 15$ on paypal.. Will need to verify it works well before paying. I wish I understood how to use MS paint

[TheDcoder]

While 1
    If WinExists ("iTunes") Then WinKill ("iTunes")
    Sleep (101)
WEnd

Keep my $15 in your PayPal

Hello Islarama and welcome 

Imho trying to bypass this error is a mistake. This message is there to tell you that something's wrong with Itunes. You should try to fix it before anything else.

A fast search on google suggest this error can be linked to Norton antivirus or another software called "peerblock". Do you have any of these software installed on your computer?

If you really want to bypass it, you can try this out:

While 1
    If WinExists("Itunes", "There was a temporary problem") Then WinKill ("Itunes", "There was a temporary problem")
    Sleep (100)
WEnd

PS: I don't want any money

Hi.

I completely agree with @Neutro. You should try to find the reason for this error message.

But if you don't want or can't find take his code. But I would change some little thing. I would change both "There was a temporary problem" with "(-3212)". You know why? Otherwise your tool is kicking every "there was a temporary problem"-problem. But what if there is another completely different iTunes error? Don't you want to know about it? With "(-3212)" you only kick this iTunes error message.
