Well I can’t tell for sure because I don’t have Final Cut Pro, but I have read in several mac discussions that people have this problem and ask what it means. But using an applescript to display stupid messages is kinda clever…

You know, I might get a stupid error message on my PC and say “look its a dumb message” post it, and some guy simply calls it fake just because you can make custom errors, Sure you can, I’ve done it, its funny, but that doesn’t mean any other odd or silly message is “faked” tho I must say, its not hard to try get a fail up here…

Yeah or better yet they opened this in applescript…..

Tell application “Final Cut Pro”
display alert “Alert title” message “Alert: Something happened” with icon 1 buttons {“Cancel”,”Okay”}
end tell

that duplicates that alert perfectly…you can tell its a fake one because Mac OS X alerts never use “Okay” they use “OK”

This is not fake. I saw it on a computer in my lab when I was installing software for final cut studio. I am pretty sure it is a joke placed there by a programer. I also saw an animation of a cow walk by the screen in final cut a few years ago. Someone has too much time on there hands and wrote in a little joke for us final cut users. I got a big laugh.

I assure you I have nowhere near that amount of computer knowledge. If you’re insistent that it’s fake, just go to google, type in “alert, something happened” and see for yourself that it’s an actual error message on Final Cut.

It probably is fake though, it would be very easy to do. The most useless error message I ever saw was for MS Access -

‘There is an error’

Yeah? Thanks for letting me know. Though is that worse than -

‘There is no message for this error’.

I think that fails somewhat harder.

Don’t be too sure — I’ve personally seen error messages like this (on Windows), and others that were just as useless. “The Daily WTF”: http://thedailywtf.com/ — has many examples of such things.

Jane, you’re being deceptive, or are just a bit confused: It’s not a photoshop job, it’s the work of a prank: done either by you, for failblog, or by someone else who uses that machine. Such an error message can EASILY be generated by anyone with ANY amount of knowledge of Applescript. Example: http://grab.by/iU3

By: Jane

Jane — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:58:33 +0000

Because the computer isn’t networked to anything else…not even a printer. No way for me to capture the screen and send it anywhere else. Camera was really the only option…and yes, it was a real error message. Nothing faked about it.

By: Jane

Jane — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:48:47 +0000

I sent it in– it’s not a fake. The computer isn’t networked to any other ones, nor does it have internet access. I just took a picture of the message on my phone. Had to get fairly close so you could see the letters. So sorry, no photoshop here.

By: gman

Yep thats right on the money, this one is so fake. The Okay is a dead give away. Im guessing they used a camera to try to make it seem real, so it wouldn’t appear photoshopped.

Bit of ‘quality’ control needed here.

It’s probably just Applescript. Just a simple tell application “appnamehere” … blah blah blah

By: macfail

and people tout mac as something great, yet the alert doesn’t even say wtf is happening.. atleast windows does..

thats easy, just build an error/confirmation for a website and insert the message u want it to say. it only take a couple lines of code

By: Lomoco

TeeHee. I think it’s called Applescript.

I’m such a debby downer, I know, but that alert was made by someone using apple script. It’s not a legit error.

By: Mars478

Mars478 — Thu, 05 Nov 2009 22:39:08 +0000

I’d like to comment on this picture. First: Apple does not use “Okay” for their OS. They use “OK” or “Dismiss”. Second. The Alert Box title is “Alert Title” Meaning that the poster was using Interface builder to build an error box. (Interface builder is the way to build the error boxes and general UI in OSX.)
Third the display is a CRT which implies this is an old machine or an Old Monitor
Very Fake.
