You Can Sync G1 with iTunes (Mac Only), Method Inside

you are a lifesaver! thank you so much. but can u do like a step by step? im only 16 lmao, but im good with this kind of stuff (:
 
What if, one, under my phone settings there is nothing that says use for usb storage.....

And if I clicked unmount SD card...how to click that back?
 
Sounds like you have RC30, in which case you'll get a notification when you plug in your USB cable. Just pull down the notification bar, tap the USB notification, and then choose "Mount" from the popup it gives you.

It's also really easy to get the G1 to remount the card?just open the door, take the card out, and then put it back in. The G1 will automatically mount + scan it.

Also: make sure the SD card is mounted on the G1 before you plug in into your computer, otherwise your computer won't see the card.
 
VERY POOR SITE...POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE....keeps looping you endlessly around unless you BUY 1st.....SAD as it seems they might have a product that works, without trying 1st, who would buy....guess this was either a RICH person or employee trying to get business...DOEST NOT WORK, greyed out unless you PAY.......
 
That is not my experience. I've been using the free version (only because I haven't gotten around to paying) and it identifies and synchronizes to my G1 without issue on my OSX 10.5 laptop.

I will admit, Jonas' support can be a bit attenuated, but the app does work in trial mode.
 
if you're on a mac, you can use the following i just whipped up and leverages this great toolkit by Dave Bayer...shout out.

http://www.math.columbia.edu/~bayer/Python/iTunes/

1) install daves stuff ( just " iTunes.py download" and "sudo easy_install appscript"

2) cd to where you put iTunes.py

3) copy and paste the python script below into a file called, say copyPlaylist.py

4) run as follows: python copyPlaylist.py ["playlist name"] [ out_dir]

so:


% python copyPlaylist.py rockin /Volumes/G1/music

caveats: absolutely no error checking , if directories exist, playlist exists, or if destination has enough room.

but, it is quick and simple (attached as well, but rename to .py)

import os, sys,codecs
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
import shutil

from appscript import *
from iTunes import *

if len(sys.argv) is not 3:
print "usage: [playlist_name] [copy directory]"
sys.exit()

outdir = sys.argv[2]

pl = get_playlists()
pl_name = sys.argv[1]
print pl_name
for p in pl:
if p.name() == pl_name:
tracks = get_tracks(p)
for t in tracks:
print t.location().path
print t.name()
shutil.copy(t.location().path, outdir)
 
I'm using a mac with my dinc. Doubletwist would never finish opening...isyncr and salling media sync are ok 'partial' solutions.

However, Sunbird solves everything for me. It's a mozilla project so there are extensions, just like with firefox. One of them is called "foldersync". It allows you to specify which playlists ("music", "library" are options...) and then has a file browser option to specify which location within your Dinc you want to sync music to. It's a true 2 way sync, so if you delete a song on your dinc, it'll be gone from your music library on your mac once you sync again.

I've heard that the next version of Songbird will have native support for HTC Dinc so it should work even smoother.

Best of luck
 
I had to think about how Automator and the workflow worked for a few minutes... for anyone else that is new... change the source (top area) and destination (bottom area) but after that, worked like a charm! The default Music Player for Samsung Vibrant (Android 2.1) didn't pick up the playlist, but mixzing (free app) did. Thanks for the Automator workflows.
