Choosing a Color from the Color Picker
 The final ‘choose’ command, ‘choose color’ will be covered here. The choose color dialog is somewhat obscure and you aren’t as likely to use it as the others, but it is worth mention. It is not complicated at all. The script below results in the color picker window, with the rainbow effect as in the image below:
set colorPref to choose color default color {31270,38327,65535}
 If the user clicks on the “OK” button without choosing a color, the RGB value {31270,38327,65535} is assigned to the variable colorPref, otherwise its value is set to whatever RGB value results from where the user clicked in the color wheel.
We can then use that value in a script such as this which changes the background color of the frontmost finder window:
set colorPref to choose color default color {31270,38327,65535}
tell application "Finder"
activate
tell the icon view options of the front Finder window
set the background color to colorPref
end tell
set the current view of the front Finder window to icon view
end tell
This changes the background color for the icon view only. All of the other views remain unchanged.

  iPhoto 6 Create Multiple Folders with Terminal
If you are more of a techy kind of person and are comfortable with using Terminal, here is a script you can use to easily create multiple folders:
First, for a single folder, type in: mkdir "Folder 1"
--or whatever you want to name your folder, this creates a new directory, which, in effect is a new folder.
To place multiple items in the 'Documents' folder:
cd/Users/
Administrator/
Documents
mkdir "Folder 1" "Folder 2"
"Folder 3"
To quickly create multiple folders, create a text file with the desired folder names (as many as you want) and name it something like 'folderList.txt'. Next type this in Terminal:
cat folderList.txt |xargs mkdir
Or you could create folders with the same prefix by entering:
mkdir "Invoices " {"Corporate", "Individual", "Pro-Bono"}

send "suiteBkp(true)" to bg btn "BackupSuite"
--Use this line to call the handler below (true displays a notification dialog when the process is complete, you must have a button named bg btn "BackupSuite"):
on suiteBkp(theBoolean)

 Macintosh Plus (late 1984), followed close behind the Mac 512k
 The classic Apple IIc (1981), part of a series of Apple computers that preceded the debut of the Macintosh HyperCard Users Corner:
Here's a simple, but very useful little HyperTalk script for verifying the validity of a date entered by a user, assuming that you have a menu item "flag date..." (or whatever you choose to name it) or it could be altered slightly and placed within a mouseUp statement:
if menuItem = "Flag Date..." then
global tryDate
ask "Enter a date for your new appointment:" with the long date
if it ≠ "" and the result ≠ "Cancel" then
put it into tryDate
else
put "" into tryDate
exit doMenu
end if
if invalidDate() then
answer "The date entered is not valid!"
put "" into tryDate
exit doMenu
end if
--Here you would put the statements to execute if the entered date proves to be valid
put "" into tryDate
end if
function invalidDate
global tryDate
convert tryDate to short date
if the result = "invalid date" then
return true
else
return false
end if
end invalidDate
