Can I synchronise laptop and desktop files?

We have a Powerbook G4 and will soon be getting a MacPro desktop. Both will at that point have Leopard. How can I automatically synchronise some or all of the user data between the two machines? Are there simpler solutions than having the MacPro run the Server OS X?
Thanks
Nic

But won't Migration Assistant only copy files, not synchronise automatically chosen files/folders between two machines? (I am thinking of something like Briefcase from those other people.)

  • Query about education version and if can have on laptop and desktop

    We are thinking of getting CS4 Master Collection for my son.  Does anyone know if it is allowed for my son to have his CS4 programmes on his laptop and on his desktop as he uses one in class and the other in his room?

    Academic versions can be installed on two computers. Student versions can be installed on only one computer.
    Perhaps I should say activated rather than installed. You can install on 1 milliion computers, but activate on a limited number of computers.

  • Have synchronised iPad, iPhone, Windows Laptop and Windows Desktop. iPhone holds 500  Contacts whilst other devices only sync 170 Contacts. I have Shared several Contacts to get them over to iPad, Laptop and Desktop. Contacts then appear twice

    Synchronised iPad, iPhone, Windows Laptop and Windows Desktop. iPhone contains 500+ Contacts whilst other three devices only display 170 Contacts. I have Shared several Contacts via Message from iPhone. On creating new Contact from each Message, each Contact appears twice on iPad, Laptop and Desktop via iCloud. Assume that a Setting has locked out the Contacts other than the 170 that do appear as duplications indicate that each Contact already exists on the three devices. Appreciate any advice to see all 500+ Contacts on all devices.

    Audiobooks normally only allow one download per purchase; this is also the case with alert tones, ringtones, and some movies. They need to be moved manually; if desired, you can network the computers and use file sharing instead of a thumbdrive.

  • Using FF7; Syncing my data between laptop and desktop; everything syncs fine, but for the tabs. I have no history of the open tabs of the other device, nor can I find an option to let start a session the latest session of the other device

    FF7.0 beta
    sync on laptop and desktop
    no tab history of the other devices
    solution to start session with latest session of synced device?
    win 7 64bit

    Good instinct not to shut down!
    Open your current Firefox settings (AKA Firefox profile) folder using
    Help > Troubleshooting Information > "Show Folder" button
    Copy all sessionstore files (e.g., sessionstore.bak, sessionstore.js) to a safe location (e.g., your Documents folder). Whatever was saved before is in one or both of those files.
    This problem of a window sometimes loading the correct number of tabs but the tabs not being navigated to the corresponding pages has been mentioned before, but I do not recall anyone identifying what causes it or how to solve it. If Firefox saved the URLs of those pages, they will be in one or both of those sessionstore files.
    These threads have suggestions on how to "mine" the old file to extract the URLs:

    Thanks!

    For Photoshop CC:
    You may install software on up to two computers. These two computers can be Windows, Mac OS, or one each.
    If you install on a third computer, it will request you to de-activate on the other two computers.  You can then reactivate one of the previous two computers, and use Creative Cloud apps on it.

    49$ / month suite, can I install this on my laptop and Desktop?

    Hi Jimmy,
    From the Creative Cloud FAQ, found here: http://www.adobe.com/products/creativecloud/faq.html#purchasing
    "You can install the desktop applications available in Creative Cloud on your primary computer and one backup computer, as long as they are not running at the same time. You will have access to both the Mac OS and Windows versions, so if you have a Mac at home and a PC at work, for instance, you can install your applications on both. See the product license agreements page for more information."
    So to answer your question, yes you can install on your laptop and your desktop!
    Cheers,
    Michael

    How would I setup the catalogues so I can edit the same picture(s) from the two machines?  For example, I have a PC in my office upstairs, but sometimes I want to work on my Mac in basement?  would I store the photos and catalogues on an external drive and point to that from both machines?  Neither machine is portable.

    F. McLion is correct. Note also that you're expected to have LR on a maximum of two machines, on which you can have only one copy at a time running.

    There is one exception to that rule ... If you purchase Lr4 from the Mac App Store ... you can have it installed on up to 5 computers that you own and regeistered to your Apple ID as per the MAS EULA ...

  • Moving Music Videos between laptop and desktop

    I have purchased 4 music videos from iTunes store. They are on my laptop. I was travelling on business and wanted to try out the new music videos.
    Now that I am home and using my Dual G5 desktop, how do I move or share these videos off my laptop top to my desktop? Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this.
    I really just started using iTunes when the video part was released, so I maybe overlooking something really easy to fix this issue.
    I have turned on iTunes music library sharing on the laptop but only audio music is shown when viewing from my iTunes desktop. No videos are listed. I event made a playlist folder on my laptop called Videos and copied the videos into this list.
    The list "Video" shows up when looking from my desktop, but no vidoes are listed in the playlist.
    thanks

    Bill,
    "Is there any way to sync two iTunes libraries to keep them the same. Since I own both laptop and desktop seems rather stupid to not be able to do this."
    I have the very same situation as many others do, so I've asked the very same question to an Apple Genius at the Manhattan Village Store in CA, and the answer is no. Why? You can have multiple iPods connected to a single computer, but not multiple computers connected to a single iPod. The reason for that is DRM.
    Your best bet is to keep both libraries synched using apps like "You Synchronize" or "Folder Synchroniser", this way you'll have the same library across both Macs, and you can use any one as a Master for your iPod. Works for me!

  • Transferring photos between a laptop and desktop

    I am using Lightroom 3 on a laptop and desktop.  I am trying to export photos with adjustments that I have made to my desktop.  I have selected the photos as tried to export as a catalog and have checked the boxes for export negative files and include available previews.  I saved the files to a portable hard drive and then tried to import the files into lightoom on my desktop.  Only the original photos (with no adjustments show up).  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    Instead of importing the files try importing the catalog.  The catalog contains your information about the adjustments.  The catalog you exported can be moved to your desktop machine and you can use your master catalog on you desktop to import the record from it.
