Automator

If you are a Mac geek like me then this will probably be old news to you. But I have now had the honor of using Automator and found some great workflows to use with Xkeys. The first is ejecting your iPod without having to be in iTunes or see your desktop.

I opened Automater and created a workflow by using Eject iPod and saved it as an application to my apps folder. Once I had downloaded Xkeys and installed it I assigned the F8 key to the application. So now I just press F8 at anytime and my iPod ejects. I did the same for 'Update iPod' and assigned it to F7. Accept this time it has to be the FN + F7 due to the function already assigned to the key.

It has just made my life easier, this is awesome.
