How can I sync two folders? 10.5.8

I have folders of data from External Hard Drive, Mac Book and Flash Drive that I would like to sync easily. Look slike there is an app for Yosemite users. Is there anything that you know of that I can download and use?

You don't say which iMac variant you have. The pre-2006 iMacs in this forum cannot run any Mac OS higher than 10.5.8, so you are maxed if you have one of those. You can tell if you are in the right forum by doing  "About his Mac"from your Apple menu and looking at the entry for "processor."
If the processor type is "PowerPC" followed by "G3," G4," or "G5," you are at the max already, and in the right forum.
If it says "Intel" you have a newer Mac than this forum serves, but can run at least Mac OS 10.6.8 and likely higher. If so, you buy Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard for US$29 and install it. If your processor allows you to run Lion 10.7, you can buy it from the App Sore within Snow Leopard. Note: if you use certain older program versions of non-Mac software like Office 2004, these will not run under Lion.
The forum for Intel iMacs is here:

  • Entourage Email - I have taken over someone else job so have her email account with all folders and past emails and have also added my own email account. How can I sync the folders- as I need to be able to see them on my iphone but its under her 'account'

    I have taken over someone else job so have two email accounts on my Entourage - as the past account had all the folders and past emails when I sync my mail onto my iphone I can not see the folders and any past emails. How can I sync all of her old mail account info (emails and folders) to my email account to make ONE email account?!

    I thought that originally too, but that's all changed with the pool of apps that are out there now. So now what I'm trying to do is to prove that technology is progressing to the point where a tiny, handheld phone can produce images that are nearly as good as photos taken with much more expensive and bulky equipment. I've got my share of expensive bulky camera equipment, but I'm finding that I'm having much more enjoyment out of using my iPhone from initial capture, to editing, to publishing, and achieving results that are nearly as good.
    I do think you're working under a bit of a handicap. For example, lens quality. Here's an iPhone photo example of some wild turkeys in the neighborhood masked by flare that would be much better controlled on an SLR lens (click to enlarge - the flare is obvious, the turkeys are not):
    At the same time, working under a handicap can definitely spur creativity, similar to the oft-cited example of swapping out your zoom lens for a prime to force yourself to pay attention to composition.
    It's an interesting concept - I wish you luck!

  • How can I sync two calendars with Outlook?

    My iPhone is set to Spanish and so it uses a calendar automatically named "Calendario." All my data is on there.
    I would like to add the US holidays to my calendar.
    When I tried to do this on Outlook, it added the holidays to its own default calendar called "Calendar" (which is otherwise empty). Nothing was added to "Calendario." There was no obvious way to bypass "Calendar" in favor of "Calendario" when adding the holidays.
    So I have two calendars, one with all my data, the other with just the holidays. The two sets can merge (overlay) just fine on Outlook, but I can't figure out whether this is possible on the iPhone. It seems I can only set one default calendar on the device. It would be helpful to just be able to delete "Calendar" altogether, but Outlook doesn't let me do this.
    Is there a way to merge these two calendars so I can see them together on my iPhone, or to delete "Calendar" and just put all the holidays on "Calendario"? Thanks.

    I think (and I'll double check) only the BBLink events will sync on a wired USB sync. I'm fairly certain of that.
    You'll need to use your calendar syncing via an EAS email account (outlook.com, for instance, is free) to sync wirelessly. It works great. I use it and was a former tied to the USB sync guy as well... and I thought I was gonna die a painful death without it. I found more freedom this way.
    This explains the process. But I don't think you'll get BBM Groups to sync.

  • How can I sync important folders between two Macs?

    I've had a Macbook Pro for about a year and a half and love it so much that this Christmas I decided to buy myself a second Mac. I got a refurbished 24 inch iMac and just set it up last night. During the setup it occurred to me that there are certain folders on both computers (documents, pictures, audio, downloads, etc) that I would like to have available and synchronized between both computers. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to do this. Does this functionality exist in Snow Leopard? If not, are there any 3rd party apps that will solve my problem?
    Thank you for reading.

    no. not unless you want to use a command line tool like rsync.
    If not, are there any 3rd party apps that will solve my problem?
    you can use Chronosync or ForkLift. also,you can sync not directly between computers but via a cloud. there are many services that do that. there is apple's own mobileme. another very popular one is DropBox.

  • How can I sync Dropbox folders separately with each device?

    Hi everyone.
    I've got a question regarding Dropbox sync. Did a lot of search but can't find the exact solution.
    I have a MacMini at home, an iPhone 4 and a MacBookPro. My wife has an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2.
    We use the MacMini as our base. Downloading, surfing, workfiles, photos, movies, etc.
    MacMini is also our main sync operator for all our mobile devices.
    Here is my problem;
    I don't want to sync everything in our base folder (MacMini Dropbox folder) with all the devices. Rather, I'd like to sync each folder ONLY with the relevant device.
    I created a different subfolder for each device in the MacMini Dropbox folder.
    Now, I'd like to sync the Dropbox files separately between our devices.
    Videos would be placed in the iPad subfolder to be synced with iPad only.
    PDFs would be synced with my MacBook.
    Photos and other small files to be synced with the iPhones separately.
    I checked out the "share folder" option but it doesn't seem to solve my problem.
    When I share the iPad and my wife's iPhone folders, they both sync with her 2 mobile devices. But, she doesn't need the video files in her iPhone.
    Can anyone give me a hand please?
    Thanks in advance.

    Sync? Not at all, free or paid, not directly.
    Move FOR FREE? Sure, why not? Just email your Pages file to Dropbox .....

  • How can I sync two sources in address book 5.0?

    I love the new exchange support in Snow Leopard, this helps me keep my exchange contacts at work up to date.
    I would like to know how I can synchronize my exchange contacts with my local contacts which I have synchronized with GMail thanks to the new GMail synchronization feature provided with Address Book 5.0.
    I can't synch my phone (Sony Ericsson Z750i) with my apple but I can synch it at work, keeping all these sources the same would be absolutely fantastic.

  • How can I sync two iphones to the same itunes account without deleting

    My husband & I both have iphones & we share the same itunes account. He just got a iphone 4 and we are trying to transfer his music from the old phone to the new one but we are unable to do that. There is a msg that says if we choose to sync all the songs will be replaced with music from the itunes library. So does that mean he will lose all the music on his phone, replacing it with my library? Help Please!

    I asked a simular question. It is confusing indeed.

  • How do i sync two different ipads to the same computer, but maintain two seperate list of apps?

    How can I sync two seperate ipads to the same computer without the apps from one ipad being loaded on the other?

    Do this for each device. You can do this with all iTunes content as well. Apps, music, photos, books, movies - everything. You can have unique content on all of your devices.
    You may also want to turn off auto sync so that you do not have to wait for the iPad to sync and then go back and make these changes.
    Launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices - check the box at the bottom.... Prevent iPods, iPhones ....
    Then set up your sync preferences like this using Apps as the example.
    Connect the iPad to the computer and launch iTunes.
    Click on the iPad name on the left side under devices.
    Click on the Apps Tab on the right.
    Click on all of the apps that you want to sync to that iPad
    Click on the Sync Apps Heading.
    Click on Apply in the lower right corner of iTunes
    You may want to uncheck Automatically Sync New Apps under the Sync Apps list
