Free SYNC software?

Does anyone know of any freeware sync software (perferrably Universal Binary) that allows you to sync the contents of 2 folders each on 2 separate machines (macs)?
Also, prior to syncing, will/can the software be able to scan the dates of the nested files of parent directories and extract/sync only the new ones?
[For eg. If I have 2 folders with a bunch of files in each (some identical, some newer, and some different altogether extras) and I would want an 'ultimate updated' folder which contains ONLY the newer revisions of the same filenamed files and the new extra files altogether.]
MBPC2D $2499 option.   Mac OS X (10.4.8)  

Off hand, I can't think of any, but I am sure you can find what you are looking for by checking the downloads section of Apple's Mac OS X web site at http://www.apple.com and/or

  • Companionlink Google for Calendar - OR - ANY Wireless Sync Software

    I've been hacking at a way to wirelessly sync my BBerry Bold 9650 with Outlook 2007 and Google.  Since the BBerry solution offers a good email sync, there is no problem there.  Once you install Companionlink Google for BBerry it is clear that unless you want contacts to multiply you cannot have 2 programs doing the syncing.  So, I erased the phone, backed up my contacts and calendar from Outlook 2007 - then erased them in Outlook, and erased them my Gmail contacts and calendar.  Then I did a clean install of my Blackberry email setup for gmail - and "did not" check to have the contacts sync through BBerry's solution.  All worked so far.  Then I installed Companionlink on the PC (Vista), and configured that it would sync contacts and calendar.  Lastly I had companionlink send a link to my BBerry with the mobile app - which I configured to sync contacts tasks and calendar.  Then I wasn't getting my email.  So I deleted my gmail account from the phone and re-registered it for email only.  This worked.  Everything was syncing like a charm.  Next thing I know (about 3 hours later) Companionlink crashed!!  Has anyone had this happen?  After trying many apps to fully sync outlooks functionality I'm depressed!  Who wants to plug the phone in every night?  Can any one help with a solid and trouble free solution or app that works??  

    Again, not having a Windows Mobile Treo, have you checked the software download section on the VZW customer support area?  I found this article which might be helpful.  If you are talking about the VZW Sync software that sync your data and email with your VZW account, to restore that, you may need to hard reset your device.  As a Sprint user, I don't know for sure.

    Other than the PC Suite what other software do people use to transfer files and sync phones?
    I'd prefer free software which is compatible with other make phones also....

  • What is best free antivirus software

    what is the best free antivirus software for Macbook pro and IMac ?

    Mac users often ask whether they should install "anti-virus" (AV) software. The usual answer is "no." That answer is right, but it may give the wrong impression that there is no threat from what are loosely called "viruses." There is a threat, and you need to educate yourself about it.
    1. This is a comment on what you should—and should not—do to protect yourself from malicious software ("malware") that circulates on the Internet and gets onto a computer as an unintended consequence of the user's actions.
    It does not apply to software, such as keystroke loggers, that may be installed deliberately by an intruder who has hands-on access to the computer, or who has been able to take control of it remotely. That threat is in a different category, and there's no easy way to defend against it. AV software is not intended to, and does not, defend against such attacks.
    The comment is long because the issue is complex. The key points are in sections 5, 6, and 10.
    OS X now implements three layers of built-in protection specifically against malware, not counting runtime protections such as execute disable, sandboxing, system library randomization, and address space layout randomization that may also guard against other kinds of exploits.
    2. All versions of OS X since 10.6.7 have been able to detect known Mac malware in downloaded files, and to block insecure web plugins. This feature is transparent to the user. Internally Apple calls it "XProtect."
    The malware recognition database used by XProtect is automatically updated; however, you shouldn't rely on it, because the attackers are always at least a day ahead of the defenders.
    The following caveats apply to XProtect:
    ☞ It can be bypassed by some third-party networking software, such as BitTorrent clients and Java applets.
    ☞ It only applies to software downloaded from the network. Software installed from a CD or other media is not checked.
    As new versions of OS X are released, it's not clear whether Apple will indefinitely continue to maintain the XProtect database of older versions such as 10.6. The security of obsolete system versions may eventually be degraded. Security updates to the code of obsolete systems will stop being released at some point, and that may leave them open to other kinds of attack besides malware.
    3. Starting with OS X 10.7.5, there has been a second layer of built-in malware protection, designated "Gatekeeper" by Apple. By default, applications and Installer packages downloaded from the network will only run if they're digitally signed by a developer with a certificate issued by Apple. Software certified in this way hasn't been checked for security by Apple unless it comes from the App Store, but you can be reasonably sure that it hasn't been modified by anyone other than the developer. His identity is known to Apple, so he could be held legally responsible if he distributed malware. That may not mean much if the developer lives in a country with a weak legal system (see below.)
    Gatekeeper doesn't depend on a database of known malware. It has, however, the same limitations as XProtect, and in addition the following:
    ☞ It can easily be disabled or overridden by the user.
    ☞ A malware attacker could get control of a code-signing certificate under false pretenses, or could simply ignore the consequences of distributing codesigned malware.
    ☞ An App Store developer could find a way to bypass Apple's oversight, or the oversight could fail due to human error.
    Apple has taken far too long to revoke the codesigning certificates of some known abusers, thereby diluting the value of Gatekeeper and the Developer ID program. Those lapses don't involve App Store products, however.
    For the reasons given, App Store products, and—to a lesser extent—other applications recognized by Gatekeeper as signed, are safer than others, but they can't be considered absolutely safe. "Sandboxed" applications may prompt for access to private data, such as your contacts, or for access to the network. Think before granting that access. Sandbox security is based on user input. Never click through any request for authorization without thinking.
    4. Starting with OS X 10.8.3, a third layer of protection has been added: a "Malware Removal Tool" (MRT). MRT runs automatically in the background when you update the OS. It checks for, and removes, malware that may have evaded the other protections via a Java exploit (see below.) MRT also runs when you install or update the Apple-supplied Java runtime (but not the Oracle runtime.) Like XProtect, MRT is effective against known threats, but not against unknown ones. It notifies you if it finds malware, but otherwise there's no user interface to MRT.
    5. The built-in security features of OS X reduce the risk of malware attack, but they are not, and never will be, complete protection. Malware is a problem of human behavior, not machine behavior, and no technological fix alone is going to solve it. Trusting software to protect you will only make you more vulnerable.
    The best defense is always going to be your own intelligence. With the possible exception of Java exploits, all known malware circulating on the Internet that affects a fully-updated installation of OS X 10.6 or later takes the form of so-called "Trojan horses," which can only have an effect if the victim is duped into running them. The threat therefore amounts to a battle of wits between you and Internet criminals. If you're better informed than they think you are, you'll win. That means, in practice, that you always stay within a safe harbor of computing practices. How do you know when you're leaving the safe harbor? Below are some warning signs of danger.
    Software from an untrustworthy source
    ☞ Software with a corporate brand, such as Adobe Flash Player, doesn't come directly from the developer’s website. Do not trust an alert from any website to update Flash, or your browser, or any other software. A genuine alert that Flash is outdated and blocked is shown on this support page. Follow the instructions on the support page in that case. Otherwise, assume that the alert is fake and someone is trying to scam you into installing malware. If you see such alerts on more than one website, ask for instructions.
    ☞ Software of any kind is distributed via BitTorrent, or Usenet, or on a website that also distributes pirated music or movies.
    ☞ Rogue websites such as Softonic, Soft32, and CNET Download distribute free applications that have been packaged in a superfluous "installer."
    ☞ The software is advertised by means of spam or intrusive web ads. Any ad, on any site, that includes a direct link to a download should be ignored.
    Software that is plainly illegal or does something illegal
    ☞ High-priced commercial software such as Photoshop is "cracked" or "free."
    ☞ An application helps you to infringe copyright, for instance by circumventing the copy protection on commercial software, or saving streamed media for reuse without permission. All "YouTube downloaders" are in this category, though not all are necessarily malicious.
    Conditional or unsolicited offers from strangers
    ☞ A telephone caller or a web page tells you that you have a “virus” and offers to help you remove it. (Some reputable websites did legitimately warn visitors who were infected with the "DNSChanger" malware. That exception to this rule no longer applies.)
    ☞ A web site offers free content such as video or music, but to use it you must install a “codec,” “plug-in,” "player," "downloader," "extractor," or “certificate” that comes from that same site, or an unknown one.
    ☞ You win a prize in a contest you never entered.
    ☞ Someone on a message board such as this one is eager to help you, but only if you download an application of his choosing.
    ☞ A "FREE WI-FI !!!" network advertises itself in a public place such as an airport, but is not provided by the management.
    ☞ Anything online that you would expect to pay for is "free."
    Unexpected events
    ☞ A file is downloaded automatically when you visit a web page, with no other action on your part. Delete any such file without opening it.
    ☞ You open what you think is a document and get an alert that it's "an application downloaded from the Internet." Click Cancel and delete the file. Even if you don't get the alert, you should still delete any file that isn't what you expected it to be.
    ☞ An application does something you don't expect, such as asking for permission to access your contacts, your location, or the Internet for no obvious reason.
    ☞ Software is attached to email that you didn't request, even if it comes (or seems to come) from someone you trust.
    I don't say that leaving the safe harbor just once will necessarily result in disaster, but making a habit of it will weaken your defenses against malware attack. Any of the above scenarios should, at the very least, make you uncomfortable.
    6. Java on the Web (not to be confused with JavaScript, to which it's not related, despite the similarity of the names) is a weak point in the security of any system. Java is, among other things, a platform for running complex applications in a web page, on the client. That was always a bad idea, and Java's developers have proven themselves incapable of implementing it without also creating a portal for malware to enter. Past Java exploits are the closest thing there has ever been to a Windows-style virus affecting OS X. Merely loading a page with malicious Java content could be harmful.
    Fortunately, client-side Java on the Web is obsolete and mostly extinct. Only a few outmoded sites still use it. Try to hasten the process of extinction by avoiding those sites, if you have a choice. Forget about playing games or other non-essential uses of Java.
    Java is not included in OS X 10.7 and later. Discrete Java installers are distributed by Apple and by Oracle (the developer of Java.) Don't use either one unless you need it. Most people don't. If Java is installed, disable it—not JavaScript—in your browsers.
    Regardless of version, experience has shown that Java on the Web can't be trusted. If you must use a Java applet for a task on a specific site, enable Java only for that site in Safari. Never enable Java for a public website that carries third-party advertising. Use it only on well-known, login-protected, secure websites without ads. In Safari 6 or later, you'll see a padlock icon in the address bar when visiting a secure site.
    Stay within the safe harbor, and you’ll be as safe from malware as you can practically be. The rest of this comment concerns what you should not do to protect yourself.
    7. Never install any commercial AV or "Internet security" products for the Mac, as they are all worse than useless. If you need to be able to detect Windows malware in your files, use one of the free security apps in the Mac App Store—nothing else.
    Why shouldn't you use commercial AV products?
    ☞ To recognize malware, the software depends on a database of known threats, which is always at least a day out of date. This technique is a proven failure, as a major AV software vendor has admitted. Most attacks are "zero-day"—that is, previously unknown. Recognition-based AV does not defend against such attacks, and the enterprise IT industry is coming to the realization that traditional AV software is worthless.
    ☞ Its design is predicated on the nonexistent threat that malware may be injected at any time, anywhere in the file system. Malware is downloaded from the network; it doesn't materialize from nowhere. In order to meet that nonexistent threat, commercial AV software modifies or duplicates low-level functions of the operating system, which is a waste of resources and a common cause of instability, bugs, and poor performance.
    ☞ By modifying the operating system, the software may also create weaknesses that could be exploited by malware attackers.
    ☞ Most importantly, a false sense of security is dangerous.
    8. An AV product from the App Store, such as "ClamXav," has the same drawback as the commercial suites of being always out of date, but it does not inject low-level code into the operating system. That doesn't mean it's entirely harmless. It may report email messages that have "phishing" links in the body, or Windows malware in attachments, as infected files, and offer to delete or move them. Doing so will corrupt the Mail database. The messages should be deleted from within the Mail application.
    An AV app is not needed, and cannot be relied upon, for protection against OS X malware. It's useful, if at all, only for detecting Windows malware, and even for that use it's not really effective, because new Windows malware is emerging much faster than OS X malware.
    Windows malware can't harm you directly (unless, of course, you use Windows.) Just don't pass it on to anyone else. A malicious attachment in email is usually easy to recognize by the name alone. An actual example:
    London Terror Moovie.avi [124 spaces] Checked By Norton Antivirus.exe
    You don't need software to tell you that's a Windows trojan. Software may be able to tell you which trojan it is, but who cares? In practice, there's no reason to use recognition software unless an organizational policy requires it. Windows malware is so widespread that you should assume it's in every email attachment until proven otherwise. Nevertheless, ClamXav or a similar product from the App Store may serve a purpose if it satisfies an ill-informed network administrator who says you must run some kind of AV application. It's free and it won't handicap the system.
    The ClamXav developer won't try to "upsell" you to a paid version of the product. Other developers may do that. Don't be upsold. For one thing, you should not pay to protect Windows users from the consequences of their choice of computing platform. For another, a paid upgrade from a free app will probably have all the disadvantages mentioned in section 7.
    9. It seems to be a common belief that the built-in Application Firewall acts as a barrier to infection, or prevents malware from functioning. It does neither. It blocks inbound connections to certain network services you're running, such as file sharing. It's disabled by default and you should leave it that way if you're behind a router on a private home or office network. Activate it only when you're on an untrusted network, for instance a public Wi-Fi hotspot, where you don't want to provide services. Disable any services you don't use in the Sharing preference pane. All are disabled by default.
    10. As a Mac user, you don't have to live in fear that your computer may be infected every time you install software, read email, or visit a web page. But neither can you assume that you will always be safe from exploitation, no matter what you do. Navigating the Internet is like walking the streets of a big city. It can be as safe or as dangerous as you choose to make it. The greatest harm done by security software is precisely its selling point: it makes people feel safe. They may then feel safe enough to take risks from which the software doesn't protect them. Nothing can lessen the need for safe computing practices.

  • Sync software?

    Hello all can anyone recommend some form of sync software for mac. I have dropbox but I am not so fussed about online syncing just the ability to sync folders from two macs onto an external drive.
    I have tried cronosync and sync standard and the pair work fine but require the application to be open in the dock, so yucky, I was rather hopeing for something that runs in the background with a menu item or system pref pane or something?
    Many thanks.

    Are you always syncing from the Mac to the Network? If so, then its a simple process for rsync and launchd.
    First, set up a folder on your Mac (I'll use TestFolder1 on my Desktop for the Mac and TestFolder2 as the Network Folder)
    Then set up a launchd by placing this in ~/Library/LaunchAgents and edit for your folders
    Now log out and log back in (or restart)
    (This syncs every 15 minutes (900/16=15), but you can change to any time you want)
    NOTE THAT --delete will delete extraneous files from dest dirs (TestFolder2 is a Mirror of TestFolder1) .
    Just delete this line if its not what you want.

    I tried downloading the Media Sync software separatly from the web site and installing it but it will not install either.   When i try to install the media sync this way i get message that "windows needs to reboot before continuing with the install".  I reboot but still cannot load the sync.  I have even tried to remove all "non-essential" software from loading automjatically at start up after reboot but still no luck.
    all other BBerry desktop software seems to be working fine.
    Please help.  Thanks.

    I have the same result when trying to load the Media Sync for iTunes.  Looking forward to getting an answer soon.

  • Why Free Hand software stopped?

    I'm a senior graphic designer and I work in a cosmetics company.
    I work using many Graphic software like (Adobe photoshop, InDesign, Audition, Illustrator and 3Ds max, 3D Maya ... etc.) on Mac OS and Windows.
    My problem that I was work using (Macromedia Free Hand) for many years and this software was an important partner and part and parcel in progress and success in my work.
    That was until your great and decent company has done a deal to buy Macromedia company software then stopped after this a wonderful software (Free Hand).
    The question that arises why has this software stopped?
    This software is very easy and flexible and faster than the other softwares in the same class It only lacks a few things to become the most powerful software in its class.
    It is not only my opinion but many other Designers as well who suffer from other softwares who forced to work with it.
    We have a history of our formal designs that well be lost sooner if (Free hand) is not back once more. because he no longer works on Mac os 10:10 and (Fh11) format no longer Known from other softwares.
    We dream that your great and decent company responds for many Graphic Designers and Launch (Adobe Free Hand) software to become the strongest, the newest and the fastest software in the vector world.
    We need that software strongly and we have a great hope in your decent company that makes our future better.
    I know that my opinion is simple, but i'm sure they'll find an ear to hear and a mind to understand our needs

    it appears Adobe won't consider making Freehand available for download legally-according to what Adobe on Twitter at  @AdobeCare told me:"
    HI Anthony, sorry Freehand MX is not available for a download. Yes the activation servers were deactivated for this. ^SV"
    If you are a legally licensed owned of Freehand, it's hard to find a legal download of the trial version ot use with the provided serial number that Adobe gave out when the Macromedia activation servers were shut down.
    Now mostly, there are illegal/piracy type  sites offering Freehand trial versions, etc.
    i Find Affinity to be quite a interesting and promising alternative on the Mac.
    You are right that Adobe has cut off the Trial downloads on their servers. They don't want to sell or support FreeHand anymore and I don't blame them since it is their CC apps that are important to them. This only means Adobe has washed their hands of FreeHand and it will drift into abandonware and that may not be a bad thing in the long run.
    As for trial versions, I have copies of Macromedia FreeHand 10 and MX on a large number of old magazine CDs and these could be posted somewhere. I also agree that Affinity Designer is showing promise but still awkward with type tools and converting FreeHand files. I compare it to FHMX so it is a high hurdle to follow.

  • Is there any free simulation software for  z/OS environment?

    HI! Gurus:
    I want to warm up to be ready for z/OS.
    At this moment I do not have z/OS yet.
    Is there any free simulation software for z/OS on internet for trial?
    Thanks a lot!

    There is a hardware simulator call "hercules" (http://www.hercules-390.org/) but it comes without z/OS (or any other OS). On top, IBM does not allow to run z/OS on the emulator but only on their hardware. On the the mailinglist, however, there were in the past a few people able to technically make OS/390 or z/OS to run. Some time ago I played with this emulator and installed z-Linux (31-bit).
    z/OS is VERY different to everything you may have seen before, it requires a huge amount of special knowledge.
    You may get an idea about the architecture by installing an (ancient - but likewise) system:

  • Best free / cheap software for zipping files?

    Is there any free / cheap software recommended for zipping files that works well with a Mac?

    OS X includes an utility to compress and decompress ZIP files. It's called "Archive Utility" and it's stored on /System/Library/CoreServices, but you have to modify some settings.
    To access to this utility, open a Finder window, select Go menu (on the menu bar) > Go to Folder, and type /System/Library/CoreServices. Then, open "Archive Utility".
    By default, this app compresses files in a CPGZ file, but you can modify this. Go to Archive Utility menu (on the menu bar) > Preferences, and choose "Zip archive" next to "Use archive format".
    Then, to compress files, just close the Preferences window, and go to File menu (on the menu bar) > Create Archive. Finally, choose with the Command key the files you want to compress, and press "Archive", so a ZIP file will be created

  • How much better is Garageband over free Windows Software?.

    I'm running Garageband 2.0.2 because I have an old mac powerbook 800Mhz that apparently won't run the 2 newer versions very well. Honestly, I task this poor old girl pretty hard when using Garageband, but I definitely make it work, since I can't afford to buy a newer mac.
    So I posted a video on youtube of the video I did using my 6 year old powerbook with Garageband 2.0, plus a copy of Final Cut Express 3.0... Everything was done on the powerbook. Plus I got a hold of a guy I met over Youtube from the Netherlands (I'm from Denver) to play the guitar parts, I did everything else... He just emailed me mp3 files of his recordings, which I overlaid in Garageband, which worked flawlessly...
    So during the video, I made many mentions of using an old mac laptop and the free Garageband software to do the entire recording.... We're getting like 2000 hits a day right now, but no one is mentioned anything about the powerbook or the free software. We're getting a lot of hits because the video/audio that I put up is actually top notch quality (of course, it was done in GB on the mac!!!) and people are blown away by it...
    My question is why do people not appreciate what the macs can do out of the box, compared to Windows boxes??? I have a hard time with this topic. I work on PC's for a living, but have used macs for 7 years personally because they are so much better...
    Any thoughts?
    Also, I"m sorry if this post doesn't belong here, but I wanted to get some feedback (from people that appreciate GB) on how great not only the mac is, but GB, too... Especially for being free software that comes with the computer. Plus, this project opened up, for me, anyway, the real power behind Garageband. I've used it for years, but with this project, I had to learn so much about it... I don't have any books or anything, I just figured it out and it's so easy and intuitive...
    Thanks in advance for your feedback.
    Jimmy
    oh, if you're curious about the project, it's a cover of Hotel California with over 30 tracks of vocals, percussion, piano, guitars, etc., and it's here:

    Actually it's more of the opposite. Unless you are
    playing a game like Oblivion, the extra Vram will not
    make any noticeable difference in games. The pipes
    and frequency are the same on both models. The extra
    Vram helps in editting situations as there is more to
    draw from.
    Never did I say it will make a noticable difference in games, I said 5-10%. I don't know what "editting situations" is but in most programs it does not help at all unless the program uses GPU to render rich 3d graphics such as animation programs.
    I just have a MBP so can't offer a firsthand account
    but I did read an online magazine I think in the UK
    where they compared gaming performance between the
    two and it was huge. One some popular games the
    performance was like
    60 FPS MBP
    10 FPS MB
    I don't recall the exact games they tested but there
    WAS a big gaming difference. So check it out and
    google for some test results.
    Thats Macbook vs. Macbook Pro i.e. Intel Integraed video card vs. X1600, he wants to know how x1600 256mb compares to the 128mb version.

    Indeed, you can set the strings for the on and off state, but it will
    only show the default off state text when running on a pocketPC. A
    solution is to use two buttons: one to turn on and another to turn off.
    By overlaying the two controls and hiding the last pushed button, you
    can actually simulate a single button. See attachment (LV7.1).

  • Free Recovery Software?

    I was cleaning out my external drive, and I accidentally deleted a few image files that are important to me. I know not to save anything new on that drive, and I downloaded data rescue 2 and blew my "free" download on a file that was not the one I needed.
    Is there any kind of app that will let me recover these files without emptying my wallet? These pics were important, but are not worth the $99 cost of data rescue II
    Thanks,

    Hi, Jon.
    I know of no free recovery software. Data Rescue happens to be the best available short of professional data recovery services, as covered in my "Data Recovery" FAQ.
    If you haven't emptied the Trash, the files are still in the Trash and can be moved from such to your desktop. If you've emptied the Trash, then you need data recovery software.
    You can look for other solutions by searching MacUpdate or Version Tracker. Frankly, you should spend the money as Data Rescues is a good utility to have.
    You should also consider implementing a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution. If you had a backup, you'd be in better shape. For advice on the backup and recovery solution I employ, see my "Backup and Recovery" FAQ.
    Computing without a comprehensive Backup and Recovery solution is like driving without auto insurance. If you don't have a Backup and Recovery solution that you're using regularly, you're essentially accepting the risk that at some point all of your data may be lost.
    Good luck!
