iSyncis menu bar item automatically appears in my menu bar whenever there is a problem with synchronizing my iPhone. Thatis fine because it alerts me to the problem; unfortunately the icon doesnit go away once the issue is resolved. Since my menu bar is already loaded to the gills with other things I find more useful, I like to get rid of the iSync item right away.
