    I am running an AppleScript that looks like this

    tell application "iTunes"
    open
    end tell

    using Apple's Script Editor which is supposed to open the iTunes on the mac but instead it opens the itunes in the parallels instance. Is there a way I can disable this behavior? I need to test my applescripts and the windows side itunes does not respond to any applescript commands (except for the open).

    Previously I have been running my applescripts just fine and it would not open windows itunes instance. Something might have changed in either host or the parallels system that is causing this behavior now.

    So the only way I got this to work is by reinstalling Parallels Tools on windows and unchecking application sharing. Now I wonder what happened that the applescript on mac started opening windows itunes....

    Hello Lsls,

    It looks like you have changed the AppleScript iTunes file associations with SmartSelect.

    To revert to your previous file extension associations, you should either temporary disable your custom associations configuration or set the associations to default.

    You can find more details in Parallels Desktop User Guide For Mac, p. 210.

    Best regards,
    Xenos
