Sync contacts between two macs

I would like to use iCloud to sync my Contacts between two Macs.How do I get the Contacts "On My Mac" to do this?
Thanks,
Frank

Thanks. You said: "When you setup iCloud the On my Mac contacts should've been moved to iCloud I think (can't remember what happened in my case)."
Actually that does not happen, or at least it didn't happen to me.

Sync contacts between two account iCloud

Hi everyone,
Me and my wife both have iphone. We usually used just one iCloud account, so we had shared calendar, contacts etc. etc. which is very useful for us.
Since Siri has arrived it begun to create troubles with the contacts, because the contact marked as "me" is the same for both iphones, so on my iphone siri calls me with the name of my wife...
Now with the new "family" function with iOS 8 i can finally separate the iCloud accounts on our iphones, and still have the same apps, calendar etc. on both of them.
My problem is with the contacts, we would like to keep the same contacts on both iphones and synched, but i can't do that with the "family" function.
Anyone can suggest me a way to sync contacts between two account iCloud selecting which information to share?
Thanks

Sync folders between two Macs

Howdy,
I want Mail on two of my Macs to be in sync. I have a lot of rules set up and once the rules are applied the mail is sorted in local folders so it disappears from the inbox. This of course causes it to no longer be available on the other Mac.
Looking for an application that can sync files I select between two Macs whenever a change is detected on either of them, in this case my Mail folder and peferences. This can go directly or through an OS X server that's running 24/7. I don't want to move my folders to the mailserver but keep them local.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

I've had a Macbook Pro for about a year and a half and love it so much that this Christmas I decided to buy myself a second Mac. I got a refurbished 24 inch iMac and just set it up last night. During the setup it occurred to me that there are certain folders on both computers (documents, pictures, audio, downloads, etc) that I would like to have available and synchronized between both computers. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to do this. Does this functionality exist in Snow Leopard?
no. not unless you want to use a command line tool like rsync.
If not, are there any 3rd party apps that will solve my problem?
you can use Chronosync or ForkLift. also,you can sync not directly between computers but via a cloud. there are many services that do that. there is apple's own mobileme. another very popular one is DropBox.
Thank you for reading.

Sync iphone between two macs

How do I sync my iphone between two macs. An imac at home and a macbook pro. I want them to work equally if possible
thanks

I want to be able to sync my iphone to both the imac and the macbook pro. Everything equally. Apps, music, photos etc.
When I updated to ios, using the macbook pro, it wiped everything out. I had to go to my imac and do a restore from a previous version to get things back. I want both macs to be equal when I synch with them.
Can I do this?
thanks

Syncing iTunes between two macs, possible?

Hi,
A feature I really miss is the possibility to sync my iTunes music between two computers.
For instance, If I buy one song on Mac1 it syncs with Mac2, with just a few mouseclicks or so.
Right now it can be quite chaotic to keep track of both libraries, and would be nice with a program or a feature that can update the libraries easy, not matter if i'm deleting songs, adding, changing location, and so on.
Is this possible some how?
Thanks in advance

There are a few utilities specifically designed to help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync

How to sync calendars between two Macs without Mobile Me?

Is there a way to sync calendars between my wife's Mac and my Mac without Mobile Me? They are in the same house and I don't see the need to go thousands of miles and over the Internet for that purpose. 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.

Sync contacts between two exchange accounts

I have one Exchange account to Lotus Notes and one to Gmail.
I would like two sync the two contact lists, to make sure all contacts are available if I log in to Lotus Notes on my computer or Gmail on a computer. Is it possible to make these sync to the same contact group on my Iphone?
Now all contacts are available on the phone, but they are not synced to each other.

How to Sync Contacts between two Iphones

My wife and I just got Iphones. We would like to create all our contacts on one Iphone or even somewhere else and then copy all of that info into the phone or phones. I have searched but can't seem to find how to do that. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Contact info is designed to be synced with a supported address book application on your computer. With Windows XP and Vista, this can be with Outlook 2003 or 2007 - which can be used for syncing calendar events also, or with the address book used by Outlook Express with XP, or with the address book used by Windows Mail with Vista - the name change for OE with Vista. I believe this address book is called Windows Contacts.
With a Mac, this can be with the Address Book app, or with the Entourage address book - Microsoft's equivalent for Outlook on a Mac.

Sync ical between two Macs?

Hi,
I have a Mac at home and a mac at work. Is it possible for my ical to sync on both macs so that i can view the same calenders on both macs?
It appears to be signed intop icloud on both macs but the calenders dont sync or display the same info?
Both are running 10.7.4.
Thansk.

Hi and thanks for responding.
I'm being really stupid here, i don't even know if my ical is "on my mac" or in "icloud" i'm afraid.
If i go into icloud in system prefs, "Calander" is checked on both Macs.
I can't find anything on my Mac that says" On My Mac" as in the link you sugessted?
Appologies for me struggling with this.

ICloud has never synced PHOTOS between two Macs. Why?

I have an iCloud subscription. A couple of thousand on a macBook. And i have an iMac. I am running the latest OSX on both. I have set BOTH devices to sync photos to iCloud. But it just doesn't do it. It syncs other material [notes, calendar etc] perfectly happily. What am i doing wrong?

Are you referring to new photos added to iPhoto or Aperture, or photos that were there before you turned on Photo Stream in the iCloud settings? Note the following quotation from iCloud: My Photo Stream FAQ
You can add older photos to Photo Stream by dragging them to the Shared - iCloud icon in the left side panel in iPhoto.
When do photos upload to My Photo Stream?
When you turn on My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will automatically push to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos that you take automatically upload to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and connect to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream doesn't push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture automatically upload when you connect to Wi-Fi or Ethernet. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream upload.

ICal Sync between two macs

Is there a way to sync iCal between two macs without having a .Mac account?
Thanks,

As far as backing up your calendars, I use the A/S below (scheduled daily) to backup my calendars. It places a copy of (~/Library/Calendars) in your (~/Library) folder.
Can be modified to locate the backup to an external drive if desired.
--pick up directory path
set WhoAmI to ((path to library folder from user domain) as string)
set the_date to date string of (current date)
tell application "Finder"
     --make our backup folder if necessary
     if not (exists folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")) then
          make new folder with properties {name:"CalBackup"} at folder WhoAmI
     end if
     delete every folder of folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")
     delay 3
     make new folder with properties {name:the_date} at folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup")
     duplicate files of folder (WhoAmI & "Calendars") to folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup:" & the_date)
     --check file sizes
     set FileList to every file of folder (WhoAmI & "CalBackup:" & the_date)
     repeat with ThisFile in FileList
          set TheSize to (size of ThisFile) / 1024
          if TheSize < 0.2 then display dialog ((name of ThisFile) as string) & " may be empty" with icon caution
     end repeat
end tell
Copy the script and paste it into your Script Editor. I saved it as an app called "iCal Backup" which I schedule to run daily.

Sync Mail between 2 mac's

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to sync Mail between my two mac's? Using .mac or some other avenue? I am not only using .mac email but also a POP server and g-mail. thanks!

Hi,
To sync mail between two macs (also with the web browser and iPhone) yo need to set up the email accounts using IMAP. .Mac is automatically set up as IMAP. For gmail account the setup instruction can be found at
http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379
For POP server sync is not possible, you simply can read your email within an email client. Check with your email server, if they offer any IMAP access by any chance.
Read the following thread for better setup of an IMAP account,
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8007668#8007668
Other additional sync can be made using MobileMe in system preferences.
