Hey Everyone, I can remember when automator was introduced it was touted as a big feature but Ive never really used it and having a quick scout over it looks like it requires a bit of a learning so I just have a question as to what it can actually do.
I know it can do things like automatically rename albums and things like that but heres what Id like to do.
I have an iMac as a main computer and we also have a couple of laptops. I also have a Western Digital MyBook World NAS that I use with time machine currently but it is also possible to use this as a iTunes media server.
So what im thinking of doing is copying my music library onto the NAS so that other computers can access it when the iMac is off. I know I could just drag and drop it in and update it periodically but is there anyway I could set the automator to do it say once a week or something so that it would check for any differences between the two folders and update the NAS accordingly?
I had a quick play and there seem some options for copying files but im just having a bit of trouble getting it working so any assistance would be much appreciated
