Real-World Syncing Scenarios for iTunes 7 Explained — We’ve also just released a free update to Michael E. Cohen’s “Take Control of Syncing in Tiger,” largely to cover issues surrounding syncing an iPod with iTunes 7. As with all Take Control ebooks, Michael’s coverage goes well beyond a quick tour of the settings to examine real-world situations and answer questions like “How does iTunes decide how to categorize a video file?” and “Why was my half-played podcast deleted from my iPod when I synced?” “Take Control of Syncing in Tiger” also covers how to sync data and files between Macs, and how to sync PDAs and cell phones with a Mac.
