If you have it set to manually manage, update has no effect.

If you manually manage your music but sync other content, such as photos, bookmarks, contacts, and calendar items, will the update command trigger a sync of this data?

You either manually mange or you don't, depending on how "Manually manage music and videos" is checked in the iPod's Summary screen. If it is checked, update has no effect.

Actually, it does.

Even if you have "Manually manage music and videos" checked, there are still other things that can need updating, and will be updated by the update command.

If you make a change to any of your:

- iPhoto albums
- calendars or calendar items
- address book contacts
- Safari bookmarks

then the update command will sync those changes.

And since those are the only things that I sync, this hint is perfect for my needs.
