not that i know of, not a bad idea tho, isync should really quit when done.

it's best not to post a thread twice. people don't like that...

edit: three times... really bad idea.

I've always wanted to learn Applescript, but I have never had time. Maybe this summer. Supposedly it is rather easy; maybe someone can show you.

P.S. paulwhannel is right, double posting is a big no-no. :)

I threw this together. You'll have to put it in your dock and open it when ever you want to quit the two applications.

This is one of the biggest complaints I've had about iSync since I started using it with my iPod. What is the use of having it stay open, anyway? I can understand leaving iTunes open, but not iSync.

Well, hopefully it will change with the next version...

It worked for me when I had both open and I ran the program. Here: I made it again, but I included the Script Editor compiled script for you.
This is what I typed in Script Editor if you can't get it to work:
tell application "iSync"
quit
end tell
tell application "iTunes"
quit
end tell
