Safari :: Syncing Bookmarks Using Dropbox?
Jun 21, 2012I recently found an article on how to sync safari bookmarks using Dropbox. Article can be found here: [url]I'm using a latest 27" iMac, running Lion as my main work machine, along with a MacBook Pro 15" running Leopard.I've followed instructions in the article and got my MBP to sync with my iMac.The problem occurs when I add a new bookmark on my iMac, it seems to create a new .plist in the safari library folder as opposed to updating the one in my Dropbox. Thus not syncing. I haven't tried the other way i.e adding a new bookmark on my MBP.

iMac, Mac OS X (10.7.2)

Jun 8, 2012Years ago, when I first had the iPhone and iTunes on my Mac, Safari bookmarks would always update from bookmarks on my Mac and reflect accordingly on the iPhone. I also see that bookmarks do not update on my iPad now either. How do I get back the behavior from the 'good old days' to make safari bookmarks update when I sync my iPad and iPhone through iTunes on the Mac? There must be some settings that have been changed, but I have not been able to search them out in settings.

Is there a file I can transfer from the imac to the mbp?

OS X :: Sync Two Macs Without MobileMe
Jan 6, 2010I have an iMac at home and a MacBook Pro for school and I'd like to sync them together. More specifically, I'm looking into syncing my iCal database as well as my Address Book database. I do not wish to pay for MobileMe, as I find it too expensive and don't have so much money to waste at this moment of the year, but I tried it and it worked like a charm. It's just overpriced though, especially for a particular (maybe for an enterprise they will use every buck out of this service, but not me). I was wondering if there was a nice application for that... or an Automator script, of if I should try and figure out how to code my own Automator script?

View 5 Replies View RelatedSoftware :: Mobileme Sync - Especially Bookmarks
Jul 4, 2009I decided to sort out and merge the bookmarks on the three computers in our house. MacBook on 10.5.7 and MacMini running the same. Third laptop is not yet done and I've left it switched off so far until I sort things. Sync is set to "Manual". What I have done so far is sync the Mac Mini with the iDisk. So as there were no Bookmarks synced on the iDisk before the two should be the same. When I did this I was asked if I wanted to "Merge" or "overwrite". I chose "Merge"
Then I merged the iDisk with the MacBook, giving me all the bookmarks in one place. Again I got the pop up asking whether I wanted to merge or overwrite. I have worked on the bookmark list on the Macbook and edited out most of the duplicates. when I then try to sync with iDisk there is no pop-up box. So it doesn't ask me whether I want to merge or overwrite. It assumes I want to do a merge as I did before. But I want to overwrite!! Where can I change/reset this? Doesn't seem to be in the Mobile Me Prefs.

View 2 Replies View RelatedOS X :: Keeping Macs And Devices In Sync
Sep 22, 2009My purpose is to summarize what I can collect as information on the best way to keep macs and devices in sync.
First, I will focus on the main goal I want to achieve: keep iCal and Address Book in sync for a macbook and a mac mini. The sync can occur via internet (nice-to-have) or simply when they are on the same network (minimum requirement).
Later below are also separately listed info on files/folder sync.
The option I have found so far:
For Address Book and iCal:
1) Mac OS X native option
Mac OS X Snow Leopard offers the possibility to keep iCal and Address Book in sync, via a Google Account or a Yahoo Account.
FREE requires Google account also keep Google Contacts and Calendar in sync But no contacts picture sync, limited phone number (3 or 4 per contact)
2) Mobile Me
iCal, Address Book, ...
+ storage, web hosting, complete integration with Mac OS X...
79$ / year
3) Others...
Spanning Sync 3

Almost as option 1) as it requires a Google Account.
BusySync
Fruux
[url]
Only between computers. But they don't need to be ON at the same time (using fruux cloud).
FREE
BETA
also sync bookmarks and notes.
10.5 and upper.
For files/folder sync:
1) Mobile Me iDisk
2) Dropbox and analog, whether they are webbased on full applications
Dropbox

Chronosync
Amazon S3
Microsoft Live Mesh

3) Other solutions, more manual...

rSync
Part of OS X already. You may need to update it depending on the task, but if you can figure it out, here it is:
rSync
What am I using? I am now trying Fruux. Free and doing exactly what I needed: sync 2 macs for address book and calendar. Not less, and a little more. More after a few days of use!
OS X :: Sync Programs On Multiple Macs?
Feb 12, 2010I've had a MacBook Pro for some time, and am now wanting to sync all my programs (preferably without mobileme).
Many years ago, I was able to network multiple mac computers and have each of those macs draw their information from a common file on the server. For example, the mail program on each computer would reference it's mail file in the library which was an alias that pointed to the actual data file that was stored on the server. This was an easy way of linking the email, so when mail was altered on one computer, the changes were made (in essence) to all computers.
I would like to do that with my iMac and MacBook, but also the music library, iCal, Address Book etc.
Is there a way to set my Time Capsule up as a server to handle something like this?
Software :: Sync IPhone To 2 Macs?
Oct 27, 2008I've had a MacBook Pro for a while and had been syncing my iPhone to it, and just got an iMac. I'd like to start syncing to the iMac (as well) so that I can have copies of all my stuff on all 3 devices. Is this possible? AppleCare tech support says "no" but I don't see why it should be. (my main reason for this is so that I can download applications or application updates from whichever computer I'm on, and don't have to wait until I'm on a certain computer to administer my iPhone)
I was thinking that to sync the applications to both devices I might have to copy them from my MacBook Pro to the iMac before syncing the iPhone to the iMac.. and I might have to be equally careful to make sure that the iMac has all the media/files that I want it to have before syncing to the iPhone --- lest I do something like wipe out all my iPhone music because there isn't any yet on the iMac.. so I'd first:
1. copy from MacBook pro to iMac all music, photos, apps (contacts, calendar are synced to Outlook so there's no worry here
2. then sync the iPhone to the iMac

Feb 22, 2009I have a new early 08 MBP laptop (Leopard) and a G4 tower (Tiger) using IPhoto 08. When out of town I have added photos to my laptop. I have also added different new photos to my tower. Is there a software way to update both computers to have the same photos? I have heard the term bi-directional (my Palm Treo does this). In the case of my Treo, if I have new info in both my phone and computer, both will be updated to match each other. Now I need to do that same syncing concept between both of my computers for IPhoto (I do not have .mac).

May 10, 2008I have a Mac at home and one at work. They are both Panthers and about 4 or 5 years old (still run great). The two machines are sort of growing apart from one and other as far as the data contained on each machine. Some is very similar and some isn't. Like I said, they are growing apart. Is there a way I could sync them by using an external drive? I would not want to lose data in the process.
