How to synch callendars an two macs?

..aside from subscribing to whatever apple chooses to replace .mac/mobileme/etc.
Is there a file or folder that i can copy or rsync or ?? between two macs periodically so that the "slave" is in sync with the "master" , as i do for normal documents and other files?  I'm  bit perplexed because:
1. in-use permissions often prohib it the calendars folder from being over-written
2. there are lots of files int eh folder
3. the callendar entry files themselves are grouped in folders of unique names-so file "x" does nto actually exist on both machines.
Thanks,
Grant

Ok I have three macs sharing mobile me. One at work that´s a imac,at home my old Mack book Pro with a big monitor and now I got a beautiful Mac Book Air.
The two computers at home can be connected wireless,I have a time capsule disk that at this moment is only backing up my MBPro. I will use my MBA for everyday use,mails,navigating and for lecturing....with keynote. Basically the documents that I need to share daily will be keynote dcts. And may be some apperture projects.
All the mails calendars etc work beautiful with mobileme.
I don´t really need to conect the imac at work.
Any ideas to make things easy?
If I work only wit dcts does are about 400 KB. If I use my folder of preentations is about 42 GB, I think I just need to work with dcts....

  • Synching iPhoto on two Macs

    I've read some older discussions on synching iPhoto between two Macs but is there anything new on this. I'd like to have the same library on both Macs.

    Brie Fly is right. You can't do a straight sync. Doing so will make sure each folder in each library has the same files but it can't sync the database files that tell iPhoto which photos are where. Each library will just appear the same and may eventually have problems with all those "unofficial" files in it's library. You can use the paid version of iPhoto Library Manager to merge photos from each library into the other. It would not be automatic in that you'd have to know which are new. You might use the "Last X rolls" feature to do that. But it will copy them and maintain the rolls, album, keyword and other metadata information. I've not used it but many users have reported successful merges with it.

  • How can I sync my two Macs & iphone?

    I am using MobileMe before and everything is perfect. I have two Macs running OS10.5, one in my office and one at home. I have an iphone running ios 5.0.1.
    Can I sync them all together, eg. Contact, Calendar, Bookmark, Mail etc. How can I sync the calendar on my Mac/iphone with icloud Calendar?

    I have two Macs running OS10.5
    Your Macs must be running Lion v10.7 in order to setup iCloud.
    First, you would need to purchase and install Snow Leopard v10.6 >  Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard - Apple Store
    Once Snow Leopard is installed, you can download Lion 10.7.2 from the App Store.
    Before you do anything, make sure your Mac meets Lion's requirements.
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor

  • How to sync documents on two Macs?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs and want to sync the documents on a specific folder on both of them. In these folders I collect a lot of PDFs from the Internet.
    I want to periodically update the "superset" of the documents on a specific folder on both macs.
    How can I do this? Is it possible to do this with a batch script that is run in the background?
    Best Regards

    OSX apps are not "synced", neither the ibooks, music or apps from iOS are. They are held available for you in iOS' appstore and Mac Appstore to re-download them later again. Apps,books,etc do not appear in your personal cloud at all. They are not part of your 5GB account.
    Music/Video purchases from iTunes in the cloud  are not available in every country.

    using the same Apple-ID you use on your other iCloud devices, this is the way to sync. Nothing wrong there.

  • How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

    Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
    This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

  • Synching Libraries on two macs

    I did a really stupid thing. I have two macs, my powerbook and an iMac. My iTunes library was on my powerbook and I copied it to my iMac. No problem... but over the last couple months I added about 100 songs to my powerbook and a different 100 songs to my iMac. Is there an easy way to get all the songs on both computers without having to re-import them and without losing whatever is different?
    In other words I want the library in both computers to be identical and I'm afraid if I try and copy one to the other I might erase songs from one or the other instead of just adding the missing songs.
    Thank you

    Yorgo
    Try the following:
    On Machine 1 set up a Smart Playlist based on the date you added the songs... before Today and After the last time you synced.
    ON machine Two do the same.
    Now you have a list on each machine of what has changed. Copy over and back.
    Regards

  • How do I see my two Macs on the same screen?

    This may sound like an extremely stupid question but if I want to use Migration Assistant, how can I see what's going on on both computers when I have only one screen?  I have an old Mac Mini and a new Mac Mini.  I've hooked them up using an ethernet cable.  Am I supposed to be able to see the old hardrive on the new machine?
    If I am supposed to hold down the letter T, do I do that just before I turn on the old Mac?
    I think it may be simpler just to copy the files I want onto a thumb drive and do it manually.
    I'm sure there's a very simple step I'm missing.  I even tried watch instructional videos on youtube but can only see instructions on how to do it when you have two screens---a laptop to a desktop, laptop to laptop, etc.
    I'd appreciate it if someone could help me with this.
    Thanx.

    I've never used Migration Assistant, but I'd suggest you get to the point where Migration Assistant asks you if you want to pull data from another drive, then connect the old Mac mini to the new Mac mini by Firewire, and boot it using Target Disk Mode (holding 'T' like you said).  The most you'll have to do is move the keyboard from the new Mac mini to the old one temporarily.  Migration Assistant should then recognise the boot drive on the old mini and you can proceed.

  • ICloud - how to sync content on two macs into one account?

    I have multiple devices and I plan to start migrating my stuff into the iCloud. I am trying to do this step by step and I am running into a lot of challenges. I am hoping to find some help for me to sync my second mac to my account. 
    1. I chose to use my MobileMe account as my iCloud ID, so that my MobileMe stuff gets to the cloud. Not my Apple ID.
    2. I then sync'd my old macbook with my iPhone 4 - all apps on the computer does to the phone. All my photos show up too. So far so good.
    3. I then login to my mac mini, and use the same iCloud Apple ID. But, the apps on the laptop and the phone just does not show up here - even after I went to Preference and select sync Music, Apps and Books.
    4. I later use this mac mini and downloaded some iTunes U podcast. I connect it to the iphone 4 device, it started to sync. The instance it finished sync'ing, the cloud erase all of it. It's an infinite loop that it keeps copying and deleting the podcast.
    Question:  How can I sync my mac mini to the same iCloud account? Other than logging in with the same Apple ID. I am not sure what else I can do.
    Thank you!

  • Synching Podcasts On Two Macs??

    I usually manage my iPod/iTunes manually but find "auto" podcast synching to be handy. However when I tried to sync on a second Mac it erased all my other podcasts. Is it possible to do this on muliple Macs? Thanks.

  • How to synch Timecode between two sony hvr-z5u cameras

    I want to shoot with two sony hvr z5 cameras of a event. I know they support timecode. Read somewhere, to synch them up during postprocessing one should be made master and the other slave. To do this, should I need any external equipment or software? Is there any camera setting in its menu? The user's manual didn't explain.

    There is a technique called Jam Synch but I would simply set each camera to free
    run timecode if the function is available on your cameras.
    Free run TC utlisies the internal clock in the camera
    Set each camera to realtime . YOu will be able to get each camera showing almost exactly the same time (realtime of the day - 24hr time)
    The small difference should be noted and this is called the "Offset".  eg  2 sec 14 frames is the offset.
    Knowing the off set allows easy line up of the clips shot from eacxh camera.
    You can take this even further if you choose.
    You can re set the TC in a clip in PPRO so that they match frame to frame exactly.

  • How to access files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I would like to access and copy some files from my PowerMac to my Mac mini. I am using a Firewire cable to connect the two computers, and I get the Firewire symbol floating around on my monitor, but nothing beyond that, and I don't know what the next step is to get to the desktop. Help?
    (I also posted this question as part of an already "answered" post by another user... sorry for posting this twice.)

    Hi BDAqua,
    Sorry I dropped this thread last month; I would still love to figure this out, but haven't had time to deal with it since then. (In the meantime, I copied the files from the old computer - G3 - to CDs, in order to access them on the computer I use now - Mini/OS Tiger.) Anyway, so I'm writing to say thanks, and hopefully I will pick this thread up again soon... and hope you'll be around to help at that point.
    (By the way, the floating firewire icon was the only thing that came up on the monitor, and nothing I did brought me to the desktop: no key, click or prayer did anything to move beyond that floating icon. So, I couldn't get an orange FW icon, or any HD icon at all, since there was only the floating icon, and nothing else...)
    Thanks again.

  • Is there any way to synch mail on two Macs so it doesn't have to be read twice?

    Is there any way to process mail once instead of having to go through it again on each device? If you read or delete a message is there any way to have this synched on other devices?

    Use ones that do :-)
    Any service that does not provide IMAP, in my opinion, is not a service you want.
    I suppose the alternative is to use webmail.  Yuk.
