Senuti = ituneS in reverse!
It's a great and simple program that lets you do what iTunes won't- pull files off your iPod.
I used it to back up all 15 Gigs of my Gen. 3 iPod and it did a fair job - although a few albums seem to be missing. As for pulling off just a few songs at a time, it's always fast and reliable.
And it's free software! Power to the people.
This works (at least the 0.50.2beta version) with the iPod Touch and I guess also the iphone too. Great app!
Comment and replies on ChronoSync:
Awesome program. Installed, worked perfectly. I'm syncing 3 computers, with 3 remote hard drives (backing up various folders in each) and backing up select information regularly to an FTP site....worked without a hitch so far.
I use this to:
1. sync my USB drive to my work Mac
2. sync the same USB drive to my home Mac
3. sync the Macs to file servers in respective networks
Easy to use - set up and forget!
This is a great program. Very powerful and customizable, but also has a great default setup and so don't really need to take a lot of time setting things up. Also, their tech support is very, very good.
My only problem is that the interface and icons are kind of ugly. Wish they would use Cocoa.
Awesome app. It covers the full range from basic backups to very complex rule-based 2-way syncs.
Also, full support for bundle files (or file bundles), such as Pages, Keynote, Numbers files or the dreaded iPhoto '08 library. Although I haven't had the opportunity to try it, the manual says ChronoSync is able to look into bundles and only sync or backup what's changed in it. This means you won't have to refresh the whole backed-up copy of your library after only adding one pic.
Truly has it all, highly recommended. Only minus, as mentioned before me: aesthetically it really needs some work on the UI and icon. Still functional, though.
econtechnologies.com has been completely dead for the last 2 days. Pretty lame, theres no way to download their app anywhere on the internet.
A few more days and these guys should be delisted.
I love this program and I think it's worth every penny. I use it to Sync folders/files between my MacBook Pro and iMac and it works awesome - it can even sync iPhoto & iTunes libraries.




If you need to restore your iTunes library file from your iPod, including playlists, this is just the tool (great documentation on how to do this is provided as well). My iTunes library file got corrupted and Senuti came to the rescue...worked beautifully. Drag-and-drop simple.
