Another iTunes Annoyance

I'm starting to think Apple software engineers really don't think things through.

It is virtually impossible to do a quick sync of your iPhone. This has happened to me time and time again when i've wanted to quickly plug it in, get my latest recently added music on there and go for a run/gym etc.

Firstly it tries to backup at the start. That should be the last thing it does.

Secondly, if there's a big queue of music to update (and for me it takes ages as I have the 128kbps option ticket) it should upload THE MOST RECENT tracks FIRST. Instead it uploads it in reverse.

Well back up's can be skipped by clicking once on the X within the itunes window. This then stops backup and moves onto the next task which is probably sync new music.

Equally just let it back up to iCloud every night. Plus I have high hopes for iTunes 11 which comes out before the end of the month

Shock as another iTunes rant turns out to be nothing to do with iTunes what so ever and more someone not understanding it's best use.

I have no such issues... I set mine up to sync over wifi and that it only syncs certain playlists. shocked to see itunes does know how to configure itself to know exactly what you want without being told first.
