Automator - Updating podcasts

[sam_5790]

Hey all,

New to the forum... and Macs.

I'm using automator to do a few tasks, one of them is a simple update,

It's updating my mail account, Ical account and some RSS feeds, I now want it to update my itunes podcast, which requires it to go onto podcasts and press the "refresh" button.

I'm currently using the "watch me" to achieve this but there are a lot of flaws, (ie, if itunes is open but not on screen). Is there an easier way to achieve this...?

I've been trying for a hour or so with no luck, I'm no good at applescript but could use it with some help..

Cheers,

Found a way if anyone is interested.

Using applescript in automator

on run {input, parameters}

tell application "iTunes"
updateAllPodcasts
end tell

return input
end run
