Using 10.4.11 is there a way to sync two macs??

Hello,
I have a g4 1.5 gig 5,5 laptop and a tower g4 agp sawtooth accelerated computer. We have att with its wireless modem/router. I got things messed up with adding, deleting, altering documents, bookmars, address books etc. I'm wonder IF there's ANY program out there that would allow to sync (not clone) these two computers? I just signed up with mobileme, so I can sync bookmarks (on safari only) and address book BUT NOT files and folders. Is there a way to sync using the wireless modem OR firewire connection and reboot? A tech person mentioned one possibility ----intech 303-554-5555 data backup. But they haven't returned phone calls. Any info would be appreciated.
PS I want to stick with Tiger because it apparently runs better on these older machines than does Leopard (thus timemachine is not available to me).
Thanks
Yaya

Hi yaya,
There are many Folder Sync APPs, I use Tri-Backup...

And can synchronize folders across my Network, and it does way more than TM and all the others out together too!

Is there a way to sync a Mac Air with a Mac Mini

There's always a catch
Check the two sites I mentioned - you should be able to specify the 'freeware' category when performing/narrowing down your search.

Do I have to use iTunes Match or is there a way to sync to my iPhone to put my music on phone?

I just upgraded to an iPhone 4s from an Android. I have a Mac computer (MacBook Pro) and love Apple for over 10 years now. I am used to connecting iPod or iPhone to computer and syncing with iTunes and transferring songs. There are some that won't have a "match" because they are local bands and aren't sold in iTunes. So how do I get my songs from iTunes to my phone without iTunes Match?

Open itunes, connect iphone, select what you want, sync

Any way to sync two macs... without putting all of your data online?

I'm thinking about getting a macbook air to supplement the iMac I have at home. I'd envision using it the following way:
- Select a few folders, iTunes playlists, calendars, and iPhoto albums
- Copy these from the iMac to the Air
- Edit files, play music, edit calendars, edit and add photos on the Air
- Press "sync" and have all of the edits/playcounts/calendars/photos propagate back to the iMac -- just like an iPhone syncing
Is there any way to do this fairly simple task? (The one caveat is that I don't want to upload all of the above-mentioned files/music/calendars/photos to a server (e.g. dot mac or google). That just seems like a bad idea.)
If there's no way to do this using iSync, has anyone found a decent 3rd party application that works well?
Thanks!

There's certainly no way of doing this with iSync as iSync is only for syncing Contacts and Calendars to non-Apple mobile phones.
Google for ChronoSync as that may do what you want.

Best way to sync two Macs?

I recently got a new iMac, which means I now run Mac OS X Lion on an iMac as well as on a MacBook Pro. This means I now need to keep the two machines in sync. I am finding that although iCloud takes care of my calendar, photos, and contacts, it is not useful when it comes to documents and other data. Could someone please suggest the best way of keeping the two Macs in sync?

Sorry No.
I don't have a need for such syncing.
But the app is around for quite some time and they have a time-limited Trial version.

Is there a way to sync two clips with different bit rates?

I have two clips from different camcorders of the same frame rate but slightly different frame rates. When trying to sync the 2 clips, it's nearly impossible because the frames aren't lining up. Is there anything I can do?
Where I'm trying to sync the two clips is kind of between frames.
Thanks,
Bob

Hi
I only know of miniDV tape Cameras and SD-Video quality - and I use an external program to do this.
JES_Deinterlacer (free on internet) - Mainly I use it to go from PAL (25fps) to NTSC (29.97fps).
It does this so much better that just dropping into TimeLine in FCE/P or switch when going from iMovie/FCE/P to iDVD. They both does a sort of conversion - but the result has to me been very choppy/jumpy and not enjoyable at all.
There are even better conversions - But those are Pro applications and costs are astronomical - and the end result is not that much better at all.

I have a new mac book pro which i use in england but I need to use German charachters frequently, is there a way of having both visable on the keyboard?

For example so that I can just press shift or another key to get the German character.

Some may already exist, but you will have to learn them. On my old system these can be found through keyviewer.app For example, if I press option+s I get ß Umlaut is a bit cumbersome as option+u then the actual letter. It may be possible to bind a key to do this function, possibly through System Preferences > Keyboard > Shortcuts
I have old, old references for utilities that let you rebind keys to other functions, and you would have to see if they have modern equivalents.
Ukelele Mac OS X Keyboard Layout Editor - http://scripts.sil.org/cms/scripts/page.php?site_id=nrsi&id=ukelele - mostly useful for character, not function mapping.
Check Butler, ikeys, quickeys or Spark

I am using a Hughes Satellite and I am having a problem with using all my bandwidth without even using my computer. Is there a way to shut things off that I don't need running all the time in the background.

I am using Hughes satellie for my internet provider. I am having a problem using all my bandwidth each day. Is there a way from using this bandwidth. I am using even when I am not using my computer. Is there a way to turn off things that are running in the background.

It depends a lot on what you have installed and what apps you run. Here's a suggestion: Get Little Snitch and see what processes are accessing your internet connection.

I want to use Mac Mail for my work email address, which containts multiple outbound options (i.e. hr@, me@ etc). Is there a way to set up Mac Mail to have an account with multiple outbound addresses rather than adding in multiple accounts?

This sounds like the age old problem with keychain & Safari. I don't know of a way to solve it without using something like 1Password.
The iOS app has it's own built in browser, so it has more control over what gets autofilled. Safari on OS X has an 1Password extension that handles account selection & autofill etc.
Keychain is great in principle, but it quickly falls down when you need tight integration with many ID's & different use cases (work, home etc).
I'd suggest you submit feedback to Apple about your thoughts. I did so years ago about this issue & this is how far we have come (back to the point where me.com synced passwords) :^)

Other tools like lastpass or keypassx may also help if you want to truly segregate password storage, but that doesn't fix autofill, the way around that issue is to dedicate one browser for work.

Is there a way to consolidate two different Apple ID's into one. I have an old Apple ID that I used for Itunes and a new I used to set up my iphone.

You cannot merge accounts.
Why did you start a new account?

Is there a way to sync the Notes app on my iPod Touch with the Notes on my desktop without using iCloud

I've been reading some of the other threads about this issue, but most, if not all, suggest using iCloud. I'm wary of setting up an iCloud account because I've heard that "once your information is 'in the cloud' it can't be deleted", and I just don't know how true that is.
Is there a way to sync the two apps by some other means that bypasses "the cloud"?

I think that cloud privacy concerns are overdone - especially with Apple who don't have a vested interest in snooping through your data like Google does!
Do you use email? It's stored in the cloud on the providers servers - no matter who the provider is.
Do you use SMS on a phone? They're stored on a server somewhere!
Do you use the internet? The logs are stored at your ISP for some period of time - tracking everywhere you've been.
Thats why I am comfortable to use iCloud for most of my documents. If I want to transfer files very securely, I put them in an encrypted disk image on Dropbox.
Cheers,
Rodney

I'm going to be using a borrowed computer, so don't want to make permanent changes to that FF. Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use?

Is there a way to sync the FF settings and keep them on a thumb drive for temporary use? I know you can try to copy the "default" folder in .mozilla, but that usually ends up a mess. The home computer runs on Linux, don't know what the borrowed one will be.

There's Portable Firefox for Windows - http://portableapps.com/apps/internet/firefox_portable - and another for Macs - http://www.freesmug.org/portableapps/firefox/ - not for Linux, AFAIK.
Firefox Sync works thru a server, either Mozilla's sync server or a local sync server the user has running on their own LAN. There's no way to sync the data to a thumb drive unless it has a version of Firefox on that thumb drive.
You didn't mention which "settings" are involved, but you can export your Firefox bookmarks in HTML format to a thumb drive, and view that bookmarks.html file on any web browser on just about any operating system.
Bookmarks > Show All Bookmarks ''(or Organize Bookmarks for 3.6 and earlier versions)''-> Import & Backup - Export HTML...
For your other personal data in Firefox, there is no real solution outside of using Firefox.

Sorry to hear that the Bluetooth data/profiles may have been deleted from your phone. Accidents happen!
oznaw, to be honest, I believe you will need to perform a master reset in order to recover the missing Bluetooth data, as there is nothing really available in the Play Store that just updates the Bluetooth profiles/data. Let us know if you have any additional questions, or if you found an alternative. Thank you oznaw.
