Wi-Fi syncing in iOS 5 is great when you have iPhone docks everywhere and rarely connect your iPhone to your Mac. iOS 5 almost removes the need to sync at all, but iCloud is missing one feature: it doesn’t sync downloaded podcasts.

This hack is great for daily syncing of your downloaded podcasts, played status, and listening progress. It will also back up your iOS devices, so I suppose that’s good too!

1. Save this AppleScript to a file.

2. Set up a cron job to run the AppleScript.

I used CronniX to set up the cron job to run the command osascript /path/to/file.scpt every day at 7:00 AM.

3. Done.

That’s it! Now all of your iOS devices will sync automatically each day as long as they’re connected to Wi-Fi.

New year’s resolution to write at least one blog post in 2012 complete. See you next year.

The problem with Twitter’s 140 character limitation is that it’s so limiting. Well, duh.

Anyways, my Gists over at https://gist.github.com/brianpattison started piling up, and it almost looks like a collection of blog posts. I figured I might as well post them to a blog, so here we go!
