How can I synch files from iMac to MacBookPro?
I have an iMac and a MacbookPro - both only a year old using the latest Yosemite O/s update. I used DropBox and had been saving all files that would normally be found under Documents, to DropBox. However, it is a bit pricey for me and I was advised by so many people not to save that way (even though I have a time capsule).
I got scared a few weeks ago when I completely lost my writing folder - all my work in other words - so I transferred everything back onto the iMac. However, that defeats the purpose of my having a laptop to take with me when I want to write elsewhere, in a library, on the road and even in my outside studio if I want to, without having to save to USB and then copy across afterwards.
Is there a safe and reliable way anybody could recommend to synch. I don't think I can use iCloud Drive precisely because I use non-Apple applications (Word, Scrivener, Aeon Timeline and more).
Any suggestions, advice or help would be most welcome.
Thanks in anticipation
You can try iTransfer if it is availabe on iMac.

where can I find the Start up disk on theMac Book Air?
How can I delete files from it?The startup disk is the internal SSD in your MBA. You may delete files by draging the file to Trash (or clicking on them and then execute COMMAND+Delete). Then empty Trash.

How can I access files from a flash drive that were previously saved using a Windows computer? When I attempt to open the file on MacBook Pro, it is asking to "convert file to"; none of the options I choose work. I also have Microsoft Office (with Word) installed on the Mac as well.
Format the external drive as FAT32 or ExFAT. Both computers will then be able to read and write to it.

How can i copy files from one external hard disk to another using macbook pro with retina display
How can i copy files from one external hard drive to another using macbook pro with retina display?
That's odd - if you open Disk Utility (Applications->Utilities) and select the disk(s), how are they formatted? If you're only going to be used with your Mac, they should be formatted as "Mac OS Extended (Journaled)".

How can I transfer files from one external HD (WD My Passport 2T) to another external HD (Seagate Backup Plus 2T)? WD drive was improperly ejected (although we did tell it to eject) and now Finder no longer recognizes it. Using MacBook Pro and I just upgraded to Yosemite before this happened. Was told at Apple Store to use Disk Utility to repartition, but it failed. It says to backup files and restore. But how do I backup files? Or would appreciate any other suggestions to repair drive.
You may drag & drop between external hds.
Should you run into trouble.
Take the exernal drive appart. Take out the harddrive. Try reading the data via a usb adapter. Put a household finan on the hd.

Try a conduit such as Dropbox.
Goodreader or Documents to Go also have helper apps that allow transfers.
Goodreader is particularly good in that it has a integal file tree and you can mount your computers harddrive and navigate directly on your ipad.

How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
How can I recover files from an iPod Touch (4th gen) prior to a required restore?
The iPod Touch was working perfectly fine. iTunes suggest that I update the iPod Touch to the latest operating software, and I proceeded to do so. Then a message popped up stating that the iPod Touch needs to be fully restored - and that all data will be lost. The iPod Touch now displays the 'plug into iTunes' screen, and is stuck there. There are irreplaceable family momentos on the iPod Touch. How can I recover files from an iPod Touch prior to a required restore? HELP...Your only hope is to contact a data recovery company. When it shows the connect to iTunes screen the iPod is essentially deleted.
You can restore from an existing backup
