Product Description:

For some reason, Apple has changed the way the iSync menu bar item works in Mac OS X 10.4 Tiger.

From Apple Support:

"To sync with any phone that's been configured in iSync, the iSync application must be open to sync to it via Sync Now from the Sync Status menu. In other words, if you set up a mobile phone in iSync, you will not be able to sync information with it from the Sync Status menu if iSync is not open."

This is different to 10.3 and earlier and in my opinion is a step-back in user-friendliness.

Sync Now can be added to your dock or your favourite menu bar application launcher to bring back the old 1-click sync functionality without having to manually open iSync and click again.

When run Sync Now will open iSync, start the syncing process then quit iSync and itself when finished.

strange error message - Version: 1.0, 10/21/2005 10:38AM PST

Sometimes it gives an error message during syncing for no apparent reason: "are you sure you want to quit now?" I think the idea is great, but its unreliability has made me go back to syncing the old way (by opening the isync app).

I have been torturing my brain to figure out why my iSync was no longer syncing my mobile phone. And then I read it somewhere: Apple has made another descision wich we users simply can't understand. They removed the mobile phone syncing capability from the iSync menubar shortcut.

In other words you have to open the iSync application to make it work.

And then I found this aplication. Simply perfect. It launches the iSync application by itself, synchronises and as soon as this is done everything quits. Look mom, no hands !!

A few tips: first copy the icon from the original iSync application and paste it on Sync Now (the logo is not very nice). Then ad iSync to a menu bar enhancer, such as butler. The nice iSync logo now sits on your menu bar waiting for you to click it !
