How do you sync files between computers

I want to sync files between Macbook Pro (2011) and IMac. File structure for Pictures needs to be Identical, not sure what is best method. Do not want to try until I have a good plan.

Hello AshleyRiverman,
It sounds like you have a directory of folders that contain photos in a specific organization that you want to copy to another computer. You can enable File Sharing to be able to access the photos from one computer on another, and even allow the viewing computer to be able to add photos or delete them, thereby keeping them the same across both computers. This article will help you get that set up and configure the permissions for it:

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
All the best,

  • How do you sync tabs between computers with Mozilla Firefox Sync?

    I have some groups of tabs. Can I sync these groups to my new PC?
    When synchronization is complete, nothing changes and the group is not synchronized!

    Hi bendorzx,
    You can sync tabs, but I am not sure about groups.
    There is a bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1011357] that could use some more information on this.
    Cheers!

    How do I share files between computers (mac's) on the same wireless network?

    Turn on File Sharing in System Preferences - Sharing, then you should be able to see them in the other Macs' Finder sidebars (under Shared). Click on them, click Connect As, and log in with the user credentials you're sharing from.

  • How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro without iCloud?

    How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5 without using iCloud?

    I do NOT trust iCloud because it duplicated by contact book 4 to 5 times and blew up my records.
    Lately I realized that my Contact Book contacts are not updated and having lesser records, and did a check. There are a lot of missing contacts, despite Synching.
    I sync iPhone 5s (and iPhone 5) to Mac Contacts and I do NOT use CLOUD. Now it seems that it forces me to use CLOUD.
    I don't want to use CLOUD because of the BAD experience.
    I just realized that I cannot sync my iPhone 5s (&5) Contacts with Mac Contacts anymore, there is no even a button for Contacts on iTunes.
    This is RIDICULOUS... Screw around someone, this company is doomed.

  • How do you "sync settings" between several images?

    I just bought Aperture after having used Lightroom for several years. I really like it but my most commonly used tool in Lightroom is to adjust one image that is similar to several others, and then "sync the settings" so that the adjustments made to the first image are applied to all of the images I've selected. How do I achieve this in Aperture? In Lightroom it is a feature called "sync settings".

    Hi rssarma, I would like to jump in and respond to your question re changing to Aperture from Lightroom. I have been a Lightroom user from the begining. I love most of the features but file handling is not one of the best. It is simple but nothing like Apples Aperture. I am in the process of learning Aperture and find the curve some what steep but...the results are what I like.
    My suggestion is not to give up on Aperture and work into Lightroom until your happy. My take is you will be back to Aperture.
    Good luck,

  • How do you sync itunes between a MacBook and ipad mini with different operating systems ?

    I own a Macbook with OS X 10.5.8 operating system, and have recently bought an ipad mini but I cant sync itunes because it operates on the 10.6.8 system, is ther an upgrade for the Macbook, or is there another way of syncing the two ?

    You need to be running Snow Leopard 10.6.8 to sync with your iPad.
    Start by checking if you can run Snow Leopard:
    Requirements for OS X 10.6 'Snow Leopard'
    http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
    The OS 10.6 Snow Leopard install DVD is available for $19.99 from the Apple Store:
    http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    and in the UK:
    http://store.apple.com/uk/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
    When you have installed it, run Software Update to download and install the latest updates for Snow Leopard to bring it up to 10.6.8, or download the combo update from here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
    Check via Software Update whether further updates are required.

  • How do you sync calendar between 2 macs now that .me is gone?

    Is there a way to do this anymore?

    Do I have to select the box "Synchronize with MobileMe" and select "Automatically" to have this happening in the background all the time?
    Yes.
    Also I'm very confused about which direction the syncing goes. I synced the iMac to MobileMe and got MobileMe to take on the Contacts of the iMac. If I sync the MacBook to MobileMe I don't want MobileMe to take on the Contacts of the MacBook, but the other way around.
    I suggest getting everything available in the "cloud" as you prefer to start with. With the sync function on your Mac, there is an advanced setting that can replace contact information on the "cloud" with what is available on the computer, or replace contact information on your computer with what is available on the "cloud".
    After getting contact information on the "cloud" as you prefer, enable automatic syncing with both Macs and everything should work as expected or desired from that point forward.
    When enabling push access for contacts with the iPhone, all contact information available on the iPhone is replaced with what is available on the "cloud" to start with, and any changes made to contact information on the iPhone afterwards is pushed to the "cloud", and any changes pushed to the "cloud" from either Mac or changes made to your address book via webmail access with MobileMe will be pushed to the iPhone.

  • How do you sync calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro running Maverick

    I had no problem syncing my iPad with my MacBook Pro before upgrading to Maverick.  Now I just keep going round in circles.  It's such a basic requirement to be able to sync calendars, but just so problematic. 

    Use iCloud.

  • How do you sync PDFs between iPad air 2 and iPhone 6 plus in iBooks?

    I Have read the manual. Tried iCloud, options in iBooks and airdrop. Can't seem to do it. I finally emailed the PDFs to myself. i don't want to email all my PDFs to myself. There must be a better way.

    I store things like PDFs in a DropBox account. They're then accessible from pretty much any device. On my iPad, I use PDF Expert for viewing and editing PDFs.

  • How do you sync apps between iPhone and ipad ?

    If I buy an app for my iPhone why doesn't it show up on my iPad

    There are some apps that are not compatible. Some are device specific. the ones that are universal are ones with a little plus beside the download button.
    If it is a universal app that won't automatically cross go into your settings. Scroll down to iTunes an App Store and there's a setting for automatic downloads. Enable that for apps and compatible apps should download on the devices.

  • How do I share files between two Macs on my wireless network?

    I have an iMac G4 and an ibook G3 on a wireless network. I have "file sharing" activated on both computers. (Also Appletalk, which may or may not be a misguided move, but I got the idea from OSX "Help.")
    When I try to get from either computer onto the other, my computer is recognized by name (another alternative is to log on as a "guest"). I'm prompted for a password. None of the passwords I use works. I've tried the administrative passwords for both computers.
    How do I get beyond this hurdle to share files? I've posted elsewhere to no avail. This must be an easy one. How do you share files between two macs on one network?

    Do your accounts on the machines have the same short name? It's an issue I've seen a few names.. one machine with bsmith, the other with bobsmith, but the long names for both being "Bob Smith". The login windows would confuse users because it showed their names, but because the short names didn't match, it wouldn't work.
    The password you should use is the administrative one, so I don't know why you're not having luck.

  • Transporting iweb files between computers

    Hi!
    Does anybody know how to transport iweb files between computers? If I have a site that I want to put on another computer without deleting the sites on that computer. What do I do? I have discovered that i can make many copies the Domain file that I have found in the Library/Applications Support/iWeb folder. Is this the only way?
    Thanks!
    /Chris

    All you need to do is copy the Domain.sites2 file that's in your User/Library/Application Support/iWeb folder to the same folder on the other computer.
    If you plan to manage the site from both computers then this MacWorld article will be of interest: Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.
