Hey guys, this is my first post.

I recently bought the new macbook air. Im trying to get automator to launch iTunes, select my playlist and set it on shuffle. This was all easy, and ran perfectly within automator.

My flow is:
Launch Application
Find itunes playlists
Play iTunes playlist

I saved it as a service so I can assign a shortcut to it from the keyboard settings -> keyboard shortcuts.

However when saved here, I press the shortcut and simply get the "negative beep" from my MBA.

Anything I am doing wrong? Or can someone point me in the right direction?


Furthermore, I find that old workflows or services I have since deleted which were perhaps saved as accident still appear as icons below automator when i three finger swipe down.

And lastly, how do I view hidden files in finder with Lion? Could do it on SL, but not anymore?
