Try rebooting, that often cures strange Applescript errors.



Better yet, also
do a Safe Boot (use the shift key) followed by a normal restart.
This seems
to clean the cobwebs from your system.



Just out of interest, what is the main purpose of a Safe Boot, do you know?
And why does it need to be followed by a regular boot - does it leave things
in an irregular situation, or is this just for good luck?

Hello

(1) A Safe Boot apply a sort of Spring Cleaning removing some caches .
(2) It load only a short set of extensions so, the running system include only some ones delivered by Apple.
This is why we must re-boot to get the complete system at work.

Other actions :
  • Safe Boot forces a directory check of the hard drive. This is identical to using Disk Utility's Repair Disk or the fsck -fy terminal command.
  • The cache of kernel extensions used to speed startup is ignored. (The cache file is /System/Library/Extensions.kextcache )

The Technical Note: https://support.apple.com/kb/PH18801?viewlocale=en_US&locale=en_US
says exactly :
Start up in Safe Mode (Only essential OS X items are started; some features and apps might not work correctly.)
