Comments on: How to Automate iTunes and iPod Synchronization Using PowerShell http://halr9000.com/article/480 (powershell & other stuff) Thu, 18 Mar 2010 14:11:31 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: jacberg http://halr9000.com/article/480/comment-page-1#comment-7539 jacberg Wed, 24 Feb 2010 04:51:32 +0000 http://halr9000.com/article/480#comment-7539 Thanks! it worked smoothly for a single device, but when I tried doing two iTouches at a time with the instroctions you posted I had no luck there.. I’m wondering if there is any way to find the source number of my devices.. or will they always be source 3 and 4?? also, I’m planning on using this script with more than two devices at a time (like 8-10 together) is there a way to add that many devices in the script?? or to tell the script to sync any source it finds?? Thanks a lot. Thanks! it worked smoothly for a single device, but when I tried doing two iTouches at a time with the instroctions you posted I had no luck there..

Replace the XXX with a single AND symbol like the orginal. -noprofile -command XXX{ write-host ‘Synchronizing iPod’; $itunes = new-object -comobject itunes.application; $sources = $itunes.sources; $sources.item(3).updateipod(); write-host ‘Synchronizing iPod 2’; $sources.item(4).updateipod(); write-host ‘Sync complete!’; start-sleep 5} ok, that didn’t take right.

-noprofile -command XXX{ write-host ‘Synchronizing iPod’; $itunes = new-object -comobject itunes.application; $sources = $itunes.sources; $sources.item(3).updateipod(); write-host ‘Synchronizing iPod 2’; $sources.item(4).updateipod(); write-host ‘Sync complete!’; start-sleep 5}

That was until last week when my wife bought an ipod. This solution will only sync the first ipod that was plugged in. Here is the new script to sync both. -noprofile -command Use it the same as before. The source Item 3 & 4 are the ipods on my system. 1 was the library, 2 was radio. I'm not sure, but these numbers may been to be changed for other systems. Other than that, thanks again. this is the simpliest soluction that I've seen.

For other Mac users out there, here's a simple script you can run from iCal: tell application "iTunes" set my_iPod to some source whose name is "Doug's iPod" update my_iPod end tell from: http://dougscripts.com/itunes/itinfo/info03.php I figured it out, thanks.

I hear there is a scripting language over there called applescript. Start googling! I would hope so, but no idea, I’m not a Mac guy.
