I tried home sharing, and it's not bad, altough it only cares of syncing the media, while other meta data like number of times you played a song, rankings and so on are not being synced.

Also, as you may know, only iTunes purchased media syncs automatically, anything else shouldbe drag'n'dropped from a computer to another.

While it's a good step forward it's still quite far from a "sync".

No news yet?

Still looking for a viable solution, I'm getting disconforted.

i currently have this problem either...
What's hapening is:
- the system gets overheated due to general applicaitons usage (the Air is very easy to overheat, even by just looking at youtube's videos)
- the kernel_task process raises CPU usage, most people argues it's due to the system trying to reduce heat by spinning fans and others
- actually, the system get more and more overheated due to the high CPU usage of kernel_task and enters a loop, until you stop the machine for a while

Until the release of the latest firmware SMC update this was impossible to solve, even by closing all runningapps.
This firmware release didn't solve the issue, but slightly improved the situation: now, if you close everything, the kernel_task will slowly reduce CPU usage and, in about 10 - 15 minutes, system gets back to normality.

What's annoying, is that on other Macbooks this issue doesn't exist, even in critical situattions the system firmware manages everything correctly, and kernel_task never gets to such high CPU usage (between 80% and 160% - multiple CPUs).

The most effective solution is to buy and install Coolbook, and undervolt the processor: http://www.coolbook.se/CoolBook.html

Here is a lsit of useful information on Coolbook settings: http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/i...

That's all about this issue, and the only real chance to get a real fix to the issue is the Snow Leopard upgrade, at this stage...

I tried several applications, including Syncopation, but they are all partially working, with issues and unreliabes.

Also, if you don't keep the library at the same cordinates in the disk, they could not work on every computer.

What's nearest to a valid solution is Martian Slingshot, which doesn't give anyway the "set it and forget it" definitive solution.

As far as I know there's no app that can provide the same seamless experience of syncing itunes to an Apple Tv"!

I experienced this as well, and had to recreate the apps... Luckily the preferences are bound with the app name, so these have been kept, but rebuilding 3 - 4 apps from scratch is kind of annoying!
