Sync Now v1.1 for Mac OS X 10.4.x

In Mac OS X 10.4.x Tiger, Apple has changed the way the iSync menu bar item works so that it no longer syncs mobile phones when Sync Now is chosen, if iSync is not already open.

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 how 10.4 and 10.5 work and is a step-back in user-friendliness.

	How 'Sync Now' looks when configured with Butler

Sync Now can be added to your dock or your favourite menu bar application launcher (I use Butler) 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.

You can discuss this program in its dedicated forum here.
