Sep 23rd 2009 11:18AM This is a related Automator question: We have two Macbooks that back up using Time Machine to an external hard drive which is plugged into a Mac mini on the same network. All the mini does is host the backup drive and a printer. I want the mini to be able to share iTunes and iPhoto with Simplify Media. I can do this by manually opening up the "Backup.sparsebundle" images on the mini, going into "Latest" backup and copying the iTunes folder and the iPhoto Library files out of the backups onto the mini. Then when iTunes and iPhoto start, they'll scan the most recent backups, and they will be available for sharing.
I've been trying to find a way, with no luck, of using Automator to open these ".sparsebundle" files and doing the copying for me. This way I could run an Automator script once a day, and if I've imported a CD the night before on one of the laptops, it'll have been backed up to the external drive, and by the next day, this Automator script will have run and the new music will be in the mini's iTunes library, available for Simplify to share while I'm at work.
This entire process works great, except for the Automator part. That's nonexistent at the moment, so the copies have to be made manually. Does anybody know of a way I can use Automator to open the ".sparsebundle" files and pull out the most recent backups?
Thanks a ton!

iTunes 9 Focus: Tips for editing your iPhone apps screens {The Unofficial Apple Weblog (TUAW)}
Sep 10th 2009 1:43PM This whole thing only exists because Apple won't let you have folders on the iPod/iPhone. This is not a "feature" at all, it's a backwards, side-stepping attempt at fixing what is a blatantly obvious problem with a blatantly obvious solution.
But then again, Apple couldn't possibly give us any semblance of a file system on the iPod/iPhone, even with app folders. Why I'd want to put all of my games in an app folder called "Games" is beyond me.
