It may be historically relevant to observe that just a few months later, Apple introduced iTunes for Windows, describing the introduction as like “giving a glass of ice water to somebody in hell.” It made use of the open SyncML standard, and while the software that underpins these solutions has changed across the decades, iSync for the Mac was a clear desiderata in favor of the multi-device, multi-platform and heterogenous world that now exists.
ISync let Mac users synchronize their address books and calendars with pre-smart phones, iPods, and Palm OS devices. I was at that show in Paris when then-CEO Steve Jobs called iSync, “the beginning of something really big,” describing it as the “arrival of Mac to mobile.” It is interesting to reflect the extent to which these features echo those of iSync, which Apple introduced at one of the last Apple Expo Paris events in 2002. The tool is quite sophisticated - when it comes to photos it will keep “lightweight versions” of images on your PC, and will automatically sync bookmarks from most browsers to stay up to date with Safari.Įssentially it acts as a glue to ensure all your most important information (including documents, images and more) remains available and in sync across all your devices. The software lets users keep photos, videos, mail, calendar, files, and other important information in iCloud up to date and available on your Windows PC. Apple’s only other Chrome extension is for iCloud Bookmarks, as 9to5Google notes.
Once it's installed, Windows users will be able to access iCloud Keychain passwords on Windows via the Chrome browser.
Chrome support isn’t yet complete, pending publication of an iCloud Passwords extension for Chrome, but most reports believe this is imminent. Once the new version is installed, users should find a new "Passwords" section in the app with an iCloud Keychain logo.
