not having to remember to sync an iphone
Sam Smith | Oct 13 2007
Having just switched to an iPhone, the huge thing that's not there any more is wireless syncing. When I wake up at 4am having remembered I need to do something today, I just put it in my phone and go back to sleep; and trust the syncing to be reminded at the appropriate time. Previously I had ical set to run a applescript task around he time I wake up each morning to sync my phone over bluetooth (it runs the next time my mac wakes from sleep), so everything would find out what I needed to do after the 4am panic. Now, I have to remember to dock my iphone for syncing to work, and me remembering anything is never a good start. The interim hack of a reminder to dock my iphone is not really, well, apple-like. Anyone got any ideas for something that sucks less? 4 Comments

 hi Eric, thanks for yourSubmitted by sams on October 17, 2007 - 3:31am.
hi Eric, thanks for your ideas. For your situation, there is a little program available which watches your ical and address book for changes, and then kicks off an ical sync a (configurable) few minutes later. That may cleanly solve your problem. a post it note might work. I'll give it a go. cheers » POSTED IN:
