Now iSync Can Synchronize iTunes Wirelessly

06 Dec, 2007, 2:20 pm IST | by Laiq Qureshi | Mac OS

iPhone users are in for a treat. Mac developer Francisois has managed to integrate a wireless synchronization solution in iSync, a native iPhone app that allows you to synchronize contacts, calendar items, bookmarks, music and photos between a Mac and an iPhone. And now, you will also be able to synchronize iTunes wirelessly.

Here are some excerpts from his site:

A new version of iSync for iPhone/iPod Touch has been released. For those of you who have been holding out on running iSync, this is the time to do it. This version is probably the most major release yet, and implements more features and fixes than the last three releases combined!

1. iSync is now packaged in an installer. No need to worry about Finder.app being on the desktop anymore, all files are now in your Applications directory inside the folder "iSync".

2. Battery life enhancement is no longer forced. Users can now choose to keep openssh running by unticking the relevant checkbox in iSync. With the use of Toggle (provided), users can easily switch to battery life enhancement, disable iSync altogether, re-enable it, or completely uninstall everything.

3. iSync will store your previous settings (Sync dirs etc) so that if you ever need to reinstall using iSync or uninstall using Toggle, the fields will be filled in for you, making it a one-click procedure.

4. Along with 300 more bugfixes (okay, not 300, but if Steve Jobs can lie, why can't I?)

He also says, "...I've reached a breakthrough that has allowed me to synchronize my own iPod Touch over wi-fi with an older version of iTunes. This is good news, but using an older version of iTunes is not the solution as it required a good bit of hacking and hex editing, including making changes on the iPod that could be considered seriously dangerous. I am working on getting iTunes 7.5 support..."
