How to sync two Macs?

I have a MacBook Pro (OS10.5) and a new iMac (OS 10.6) that I would like to sync.
I have a 500GB in the MBP and a 1TB in the iMac so I need to sync only certain files.
What path do I take for this?  I use an Airport Extreme.

You could probably use DropBox to do that:

  • Sync two Macs without .mac??

    Hello there...
    Is there any way to sync two macs without using .mac? I have a G4 iBook and a G5 iMac and I would like to sync their iCal so both calendars look the same on each computer.
    Thank you for your help.
    Hagen

    Free eh? (Why does everybody want something for nothing these days?)
    Well, there is notMac, but you need your own server, and alot of time and technical know-how to set it up.
    Otherwise nothing free... developers (like regular people) generally like to be paid for their work and long hours.
    For $25 you can get iSynCal
    For $20 you can get BusySync

    How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications ?
    We have two IPhones , but one PC , we want to sync separately , is that possible ?

    Absolutely, connect each phone, select what content you want on each phone, then hit the sync button. iTunes will keep everything straight, by device, upon subsequent syncs, including separate backups.

  • Syncing two macs: what will work without icloud?

    Hello. I'm considering buying a second mac, or finding a totally different solution. One of the key questions is: can i still sync two macs; or: what, if anything at all, will sync, what won't without using icloud (which is  totally out of the question, and please no debate on that in this thread, i simply want to know the facts).
    Thanks a lot

    you may be right. The decimus guys however don't even get their own web site together, which doesn't inspire a lot of trust. Besides, what I really want synchronized, and what I don't see in their list, is iCal, Address Book, everything that happens in mail (sent mail appear as sent on both machines even outside imap accounts), and of course it would help to have everything in like the document folder in sync. If reminders and notes would go in sync, too, good.
    Now, like I said you're probably right in principle about the two machines situation. But I might consider getting the smallest MacBook, which probably won't match my MacPro, and won't accept a 2560/1600 external monitor either. Don't know yet.
    Thanks

  • Using iSync to sync two macs

    Is it possible to use iSync to sync two macs?
    I use a PowerBook and a Mac Mini and it would be handy if address contacts and calendars could by synced easily.
    I would rather not get a .mac account.
    Surely another mac should show up when you click 'add device' in iSync?

    In addition to the information Julian provided, you can use commercial software as an alternative to .Mac for some synchronization purposes.
    SyncTogether from Mark/Space will synchronize five of the six .Mac data categories across user accounts on a single machine, across users on a local area network, and across the internet. Keychain synchronization is not supported.
    BusySync from BusyMac provides local area network only synchronization and sharing of otherwise read-only iCal calendars.
    You can also investigate such products as SpanningSync for synchronization of iCal calendars using Google, and Plaxo, which offers contact, event and tasks synchronization—in a not quite ready for prime time beta release—for the Address Book and iCal.

  • How to sync two iTunes libraries between two Macs?

    I have two macs (Mavericks) plus the latest version of iTunes. What I want to do is to mirror any change I do on one library to the other iTunes library using Google Drive (iTunes Library Mac 1 to iTunes Library Mac 2 and vice versa).
    I installed Google Drive on both of my Macs. It works pretty well at mirroring changes in .mp3 files names changes I do (i.e. My_Song.mp3 to MY_SONG.mp3), new files I add or files I delete...
    But there are two things I can't sync right now. Playlists and files info attributes (i.e. when I change the soundtrack Genre of one of my soundtrack it doesn't sync with the same soundtrack on my other mac).
    I know I can export+import playlist but I don't know how to actually sync playlists using Google Drive. iTunes has a special way of "storing" playlists. What I want is, for example, I create/modify a playlist on my Mac1 and it sync to Mac2 via Google sync.
    So, how can I make my playlists + any changes I make on my soundtracks (not the mp3 files) sync between my Macs using Google Drive?
    Thank you.

    Periodic posts on people wanting to do something like this and no good answer.
    All that information is in the library files.

    Apple's attempt at doing this is Home Sharing but that's more of a track by track basis, not the whole library.  The only way you will get it to automatically "sync" is to share a common set of library files with both computers (note, only one computer can open a library file at a time).

  • Sync two mac

    How can I keep sync all my files (office-word, excel power point, pdf, omnigroup, etc.) on my two macs, one at home the other at work, so if I work on one file at work, as soon as I get home is updated? But I want my files resident on my mac, not on the cloud.
    Please advice.
    regards,

    Use a service such as DropBox or sugarsync, files are kept on all your devices and synced to keep them the same.

  • How to sync two computers without iCloud?

  • How to sync two iPhones on to the same MacBook Pro?

    I have an iPhone 4 and previously I would sync my phone to my MacBook, but my husband bought me a PC.  So now instead of figuring out how to sync to my PC I would really just like to sync to his Macbook Pro, as I am using that more due to a new job.  How do I do this w/o messing my phone up the first time I sync and then how do I continue to do this without adding all his contact and calendar info into my phone too?  Also I am signing up for MobileMe and have questions about how that works with two iPhones in the house and using the same iTunes account for apps and such (we rarely if ever purchase music).
    Thanks so very much!!!

    The easiest least complicated way to keep your info and her info seperate and not worry about things is to take advantage of user profiles on your computer (in XP)...so each of you log into XP with your own accounts, thus iTunes (and any other software like mail, etc) all have your own settings.
    Otherwise, you will have to watch which account is logged into iTunes Store (click store and see what name is up top right in case you both have different accounts)...and make sure you are logged in with the right account before syncing. iTunes does know the difference between your phones so each can setup different settings of what to sync to, but your library on your computer will be mixed unless you do what I said first, use different profiles (user logins) for XP.
