Sync or eject iPods/iPhones in iTunes via AppleScript
Are you speaking of more that just the auto-sync option in iTunes?
If your iPod is set to sync automatically, the update command will sync it on-the-fly. For instance, if you add new stuff to iTunes and want it on the iPod right away, rather than hit the "sync" button on the iPod's Summary screen, run the script with the update command. If you have it set to manually manage, update has no effect. ---

If you have it set to manually manage, update has no effect. If you manually manage your music but sync other content, such as photos, bookmarks, contacts, and calendar items, will the update command trigger a sync of this data?

You either manually mange or you don't, depending on how "Manually manage music and videos" is checked in the iPod's Summary screen. If it is checked, update has no effect.

You either manually mange or you don't, depending on how "Manually manage music and videos" is checked in the iPod's Summary screen. If it is checked, update has no effect. Actually, it does. Even if you have "Manually manage music and videos" checked, there are still other things that can need updating, and will be updated by the update command. If you make a change to any of your: - iPhoto albums - calendars or calendar items - address book contacts - Safari bookmarks then the update command will sync those changes. And since those are the only things that I sync, this hint is perfect for my needs. ---

I basically wanted the ability to force an instant sync, usually right before I want to walk away from the desk with my iPhone. I don't personally use 'manually manage', so this script suits me perfectly. I also have 'automatically sync when connected' disabled, and using this script causes an instant 'on-the-fly' update, just like pressing 'Sync' on the summary screen - but without having to navigate to the summary screen to do so. |
