You can use many apps with the iPod for what you what. I've used Apple's Backup to keep some things, I've made a bootable disk image with Disk Utility and Disk Warrior via Carbon C…

Can't iSync keep two different Macs synchronized? Or is that another program from a 3rd party?

Yes, iSync can keep multiple Macs synced (or just 1 with syncs to .Mac) but that doesn't include every folder and file on a computer. iSync is more for address book, mail, safari b…

The programmer behind NetNewsWire has some sample code for an RSS reader at http://ranchero.com/cocoa/rss/.

I have a 512MB iPod shuffle, and it doesn't seem to be reporting updated playcounts to iTunes. I just listened to a song in its entirety on the shuffle, and then plugged it in and…

I don't think mine has ever correctly synchronized that info.

The shuffle updates playcounts, but does NOT report the time last played information... b/c it doesn't have a clock.

Here's a link to a script that updates it to the current time. I haven't tried it out yet.
