How to sync tags across several computers using DropBox

I use DropBox on several Macs - Mini, MacBook etc - and have set up tags within the DropBox on one. How do I get the tags to synchronise across each of the Macs without having to rewrite them in each time?

Hi,
I don't think this is possible, at least with any Outlook built-in features, as each Outlook client has it's own data file (.pst file) which need to be synced with the server.
If the major problem is the bandwidth, maybe you can prevent Microsoft Outlook from automatically downloading email messages by unticking the option of "Schedule an automatic send/receive every _ minutes." in
Tools>Options...>Mail Setup
tab>Send/Receive... button.
Then you can download emails in Outlook when the bandwidth allows, by manually clicking Send/Receive button.

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?

How to sync 2 different Mac users using the same Apple ID and with out mixing each other info?
We are two people using three difrent Macs, 1 Iphone and 1 Ipad with separate USERS on each Mac but sharing the same Apple ID: xxxxxx
I set up the first user to iCloud and it was OK but when I set up the second user to use iCoud the first users's info gets mixed with the second user's info?
Do we have to set up a diffrent Apple ID for each other?
Sometime ago I added my friends E mail (yyyyy) to the main Apple ID (xxxx) as for using his E mail account (to separate our e mail accounts, and it's working ok) but now when I try to create a new apple ID whith the same friend's e mail (yyyyyy) it says that his mail (yyyyy) is already an apple ID when the Apple ID is really my E mail (xxxxx)... any clue?
Thanks

I believe because you migrated from a Nokia to an iPhone you need to register the Bn phone number with your Apple ID so it can be used for iMessage. The Pn number seems to be the only one registered
Go here > https://appleid.apple.com/cgi-bin/WebObjects/MyAppleId.woa/
Manage your Apple ID and see if that does the trick
Hope that helps

Syncing ical across multiple computers without .mac

Hi,
Is it possible to sync ical calendars across multiple computers in the same network or over the internet without .Mac? If I have a website or ftp server, can I use that instead to synce over the internet or is there an easier way? Thanks.

This is another related question.
Having at last extracted a decade of diaries from Palm Desktop as vCal (since you ask I had to go back to Classic as the app quit without writing the export file in Tiger and Leopard, even tho it is otherwise OK) I now have something I can import rather messily into iCal.
However as I have really bad internet access in the Boondocks where I live I don't want to use .Mac to sync between my iMac and iBook. Palm ran very happily from a thumb drive, but I don't see how I can do it as the powers that be seem to have made the data file invisible.
I'd like to move it to the thumb drive and have an alias on each Mac where the data should be - as I do with Palm.
Does anyone know the path, and if there is a problem doing it between Tiger and Leopard?
Cheers, Colin

Is it possible to sync PDFs with multiple computers using the same apple ID?

I have successfully synced these PDFs with one computer (iMac) and one iOS device (iPhone).
However, I can't figure out how to sync the PDFs with the second computer (Macbook Pro).
I added the PDFs to iTunes by dragging them into the books tab. I then set the iOS device to sync books via iBooks.
Does iTunes only sync books purchased from the iTunes store?
I am using iTunes v11.1 on both computers.

If you have tow computers that wish to talk to each other then no matter what Buddy List you use you will need two accounts.
If this is a List that logs into the AIM servers it can be an old @mac.com name, the newer MobileMe name or an AIM name.
With a Jabber List it can be a Jabber ID or GoogleTalk ID
In a straight forward set up Jabber Lists (Jabber ID) can not talk to AIM Buddies or An AIM Buddy List (Screen Name) talk to Jabber Buddies

How to time tag GPS in Aperture - using iPhone photos GPS

hello guys
I went to photo trip, now I need to geotag 1000 photos to multiple locations. Everytime I photographed I used Iphone to snap a gps coordinate.
In Aperture, I clicked,
Import gps data from Iphone.
It succesfully recognized the right time and locations and they are displayed on the map.
How do I tag the photos to time stamp automatically?

I use an application on the iPhone/iPad that records the track and download the track. In my case, Navionics HD will record the position every few seconds and collects them in a track.
In Aperture I load this track from the drop-down menu "GPS > Import GPS track".
Now I can move the cursor along the track and see the times along the track.
When I drag a photo to the track, it will show the offset between the capture time of the photo and the time of that position along the track. SO I can place it precisely by looking for the position with the least possible difference.
When you drag multiple photos to the track, the time of the first selected photo should match the time you'll see on the track when you drop the pin.
The second option "Import GPS from iPhone photos" is supposed to create a track like above, but I never got that to work.

How to sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

How do I sync iMessage across all iOS devices?

Simple solution to imessage not syncing....
I did it and I hope this solves your problems too!! My wife's devices would NOT sync imessages the way we think iMessage should sync intuitively. I figured it out and it's now working perfect from what I can tell.
Go to https://appleid.apple.com and make sure under phone numbers you have your cell phone number filled out! I deleted prior threads before testing (not sure if that was necessary) but now it's working like a charm. (might take a second to ping the phone number to the imessage server)

Is there a way to sync mail across multiple computers without using .mac?

I'd like to be able to use either of my machines to check/respond to email, and have both of them be updated with both incoming messages and my replies. Is this possible outside of using a .mac account?
I'm using 10.4.6 and also the latest version of Mail.
Thanks in advance for any insight!
peace,
rahlo

Yes, there are several people that have published the steps to set up your own .Mac service by reverse engineering the protocol and rolling their own server to provide web services to emulate .Mac.
If you are looking for a hobby, I would encourage you to try it. Assuming you are sophisticated enough to google it and find some steps you can use, it should not be that hard to set up.
Please note - I haven't looked over the licenses for all of the software involved (Mac OS and .Mac) - you might be in violation of your license term by reverse engineering parts of the system or violating copyright/patents. As long as you don't go into business or diverting income from Apple - you may well be fine by learning how they did things.
P.S. I assume you mean syncing the mail settings, not the actual contents of the mail box.

How to sync iphone on two computers

I use my desktop Mac Pro and its iTunes and iPhoto to do all of my music purchases, iphone games and apps purchases and manage my photos, and have my iphone synched to it, but I am going travelling and will be taking my MBP laptop.
My laptop iTunes/iPhoto has none of my music, iphone games and apps or photos on it so I know that if I connect the iphone to it and try to sync it, it won't work.
I would like to have all of the same music, photos and purchased games moved over to my laptop so that I can use it to keep my iphone synched and also be able to buy additional games and music and be able to update iphone games and apps while I am travelling.
Can anyone please advise me on how to go about getting the same stuff on my laptop so that I can use it to keep my iphone synched while I am travelling?
Thanks for any advice.

You're welcome.
Would copying my iTunes folder also bring along the purchased games and apps?
Yes.
All iTunes content is stored in the iTunes named folder located in your Music folder. You need to copy the entire iTunes named folder and place it in the same location on your MBP for iTunes on your MBP to be identical as of the time you copied the iTunes folder.
Can you please tell me how to authorize my MBP with my iTunes account?
At the iTunes menu bar, go to Store and select Authorize Computer. Enter the same email account being used for your iTunes account on your Mac Pro.
Will this cause problems if I try to use the Mac Pro for synching as well or will I only be able to use one computer at any one time with the iphone?
In regards to iTunes content, an iPhone can be synced with an iTunes library on a single computer only. When syncing an iPhone with an iTunes library on another computer, all iTunes content transferred to the iPhone from a different computer will be erased first. The same applies to photos transferred from your computer to your iPhone.
Contact info, calendar events, and Safari bookmarks can be synced with the supported applications on multiple computers.
You will be better off in the long run using one computer for your iTunes library and for storing photos in regards to syncing with your iPhone.

Syncing video across several Apple TV units

Hi,
I want to use a NAS and several AppleTV units as a audio/video distribution system at home. I know that you can sync audio between different units but is it possible to do the same with video? What I want to be able to do, for example, is to be watching a film in the living room (streamed from the NAS) and go into the kitchen and carry on watching the film in there. Can this be done by just syncing streams with the iTunes playlist? If so would this cause the film to restart from the beginning?
Thanks in anticipation,
Leo

Youc can do this with a MAC Pro as a server and sync audio, video, photos, podcasts etc for whole house. I have 4 ATV1 and 1 ATV2 doing this now. I can watch a different movie on every ATV simultaneously or any combination of audio or video.
You just need to make sure to have the horse to drive this depending on how far your going to take it, I use Quad Core Mac Pro which eats it all without struggling at all. The other thing that I found is don't try to put more than 2 ATV with streaming video on each access point (I have3) and make sure they are set to N Only (allowing 802.11g on the same access point reduces performance.. I make all the 802.11b/g stuff connect to another access point. I only have one ATV2 and don't know if it handles the performance better most likely will just keep my setup the same as I eventually replace ATV1s
You can still use the NAS as Network storage and tell iTunes on the MAC that the NAS is where the library lives.
You could do it with any MAC, I just chose to use MAC Pro desktop as home PC/Media Server. It has to be on all the time which mine is, reboots once daily. I also have it serving up home automation.

How to sync contacts across multiple devices

I have a iPhone, iMac and iPad that I am having trouble keeping my contacts in sync!
Some contacts do not appear across all devices and others appear duplicated on one or more device.
After much checking of the settings and trying to merge contacts, I have still not managed to sort the problem.
David

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

Sync iCal across two computers?

Hi there -
I just bought a router, and it's working beautifully. I was wondering if it is possible to sync my iCal from my home desktop iMac to my iBook (without using .Mac or a palm device) through my router?

As indicated above, the solution is to use SyncTogether from Mark/Space.
You should never attempt to use a Palm device as a data 'carrier' to synchronize data, as severe record corruption will result.
The synchronization framework, including clients like the Address Book, iCal, iSync and the iSync Palm Conduit, as well as replacements for it like the Missing Sync for Palm OS and supplemental sync-aware applications like Entourage, Transmit and Yojimbo are not intended to support such procedures. You need to use a dedicated tool like SyncTogether or .Mac Sync to achieve what you want.

ITunes 11.1.3/iOS 7.0.3 how to sync (bookmarks, calendar, contacts) without using iCloud

Unfortunately we seem to have lost the ability to sync manually from a computer to a mobile device (iPad in my case) under iTunes 11.1.3/iOS 7.0.3. I am hoping and assuming that people at Apple will hear and see the need for it and correct this oversight in future updates.
Until then, is there a work-around for people like me who manage do not want to have their information stored on an iCloud server?
Thanks,
James

Thanks for the quick and useful reply Randers.
It will be good if (hopefully when) the functionality is returned to iTunes/iOS, but installing server is useful in the multitude of options that it opes up, so I followed your advice. I have my contacts syncing perfectly, but there is a problem with the calendar, so perhaps you can help please?
My working account is a standard user account, so I have had to use my admin account to set up the CardDAV and CalDaV servers. The problem is that the new calendar is blank. I'm probably missing something obvious, but how can I 'link' it to my calendars under my user account? There is no 'drag and drop' as there is for the contacts. If I try to set up a CalDAV service for my standard user account I get the error that the user cannot be verified.
Do you have any suggestions please?
Thanks,
James

Sharing folders across several computers without restriction?

I thought I followed all of the directions I could find on apple.com so I am asking the community for help.
Here is what we want to do:
I want to be able to access the same things on my laptop as I can on my desktop. I setup shared folders, but they only work when my laptop is on. I don't want to use the laptop all of the time, but sometimes I need to as I have to take it with me to work on a project. I'd like to be able to come home after using my laptop all day and log on to my iMac and then continue my work. Is this possible?
Also my husband would like to do the same from his laptop. He would like that if we are on our laptops that we could share a file, both having read and write access to it. I have tried to mess with permissions from both our computers to give us both unlimited access to all three computers, but it isn't working and when he looks some of my folders are restricted and the same with his.
We need some serious help here and need step-by step instructions because we obviously keep messing something up.
We have Time Capsule, Time Machine and AirPort wireless network. Let me know if you need any other info to help us out and i will get it for you.
Thanks!

My understanding is holding down the option key while dragging a file from one computer to another fixes permissions. But I've had mixed results. You might look into DropBox or ExecSync. My partner and I travel a lot and have the same situation when we come home. Too bad we can't specify a folder, where we could put current projects, that we could designate MobileMeSync to include in it's sync.

How to sync settings across a team?

Our shop has a team creative cloud membership. I can't seem to get the sync settings feature to work.
The computers I'm trying this on are all PCs (mixed windows 7 and 8) and the Individual team members are signed in. (These are seperate logins that are part of a single team.)
In particular, I'm trying to sync up Illustrator (CC ver. 17) workspaces and swatches. I click "Sync Setings Now" in the preferences panel, it seems to "think" for a couple seconds. After that I check the workspaces on the individual computers and none of them have any work spaces from any other computers.
I'm not the team administrator; I don't know if that matters or not.

Thanks Steve. I figured that was probably the case once I saw the promo video that specifically mentions team-syncing capability for the Adobe web-oriented programs. That's disapointing for sure. So far it appears as though the only real advantage to a team subscription for a standard printing company like us is consolidated billing.
As for the export/import method, does anyone know if there is one location that should be used as a master?
