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.

Sync iCal across two Macs w/o .Mac

How do I sync the iCal calendar across two Macs without using .Mac? I have heard of iSyncCal but right now their website is offline and I can't get to it. Other solutions?

Conal Ho,
BusySync is another option: http://www.busymac.com/index.html

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

Can't sync ical across two users on the same Mac

I hope I can get some help.
My wife and I had our ical's sync'd when we had a .mac account. My .mac account expired and we upgraded to Mobileme. Since then we have not been able to sync our icals on the same mac.
I spent an hour with chatting with apple mobileme tech support to no avail.
Any suggestions or solution would be great.

Thanks for your reply, but this article is telling me to do exactly what I already tried. I just get the message: "The folder “Drop Box” can’t be opened because you don’t have permission to see its contents."

Syncing iCal between two computers?

Is this possible? Thinking about getting my girlfriend a use PowerBook but I want to be able to sync both iCals.
Also, once sync'd, would everything sync to my iPhone?

If the site is driving you crazy, setting up, securing and operating a CalDAV server will really drive you over the edge. This is not a project to take on casually.
You can get an idea of the effort of doing so using the open-source Darwin Calendar Server on a Macintosh platform. That is the open-source code equivalent version of iCal Server, from Mac OS X 10.5 Server.

Technical question: Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??

Technical question:
Is it possible to work on the same Lightroom catalog across two computers and have the catalog sync? If so, how??
Here's a little more information on what I am trying to do.
I have a desktop computer with 4tb worth of pictures that has Lightroom and Photoshop on it. I also have a laptop with Photoshop and Lightroom. I would like to be able to edit those same pictures with their current edits that are currently on my desktop on my laptop. If this can be done, I'm sure I need to be on the same wifi network for my laptop to be able to access my desktop's photo library. I am technically savvy enough to map a network drive, but how do I get my two Lightroom catalogs to sync when I make a change on one of my computers? Would i be working only on one catalog? Or two separate catalogs that would need to be manually synced to the other computer? Would it be beneficial to put my lightroom catalog on something like dropbox?
I'd appreciate any information or tutorials if someone knows how to do this.

I do this by having my LR catalog and photos on an external drive that I swap between the two computers. I am on Windows and have the same drive letter assigned to the drive on both computers.
Because the photos are on a portable drive I back up the portable drive to another hard-drive every night or after important work, because portable drives are susceptible to damage or loss.

Is it possible to Have a Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet?

Is it possible to Have a Elements 12 Catalog sync across Two computers over the internet? I have a laptop I use in the Field when I take pictures and a Desktop at my house that I use to Edit the Photos. I would like the Catalog Synced across both computers. IE I download pictures from the Camera onto the laptop and they automatically sync over to the desktop then when I edit the pictures on the Desktop they go back to the laptop.
Is this possible?
What would I need to have it work?

You could put the pictures in the field on your laptop
Send them to Dropbox from your laptop
At home, when you are on the desktop, access the pictures from Dropbox and put them in a folder of choice
Enhance the pictures in PSE, then send them to a destination folder, to preclude overwriting the orginals
Populate the organizer from the destination folder
This requires that you install Dropbox (free, with quite a bit of storage) on both machines. I have the app on my ipad as well, and it synchs perfectly (no catalog, however).
One advantage to this type of work-flow would be that you can get rid of the non-keepers and save the pictures that you fixed at home, prior to any organizer machinations. The old axiom: It's a virtue to be selective.

Synchronize Mail Across Two Computers

Hey everyone!
I have two iMacs running 10.5.7 with Apple Mail set to download email from my own domain with a POP server. I have a gigabytes of locally stored mail that I would like to have synchronized to another, iMac also running 10.5.7. I don't have the option of IMAP, but even if I did, the gigabytes of saved mail would go over my quota.
I tried using Live Mesh, but it does not support files in the /library directories, and MobileMe does not support IMAP/POP accounts.
Any other ideas?
Thanks in advance!

there is no good way to keep POP mail synced across two computers. one time syncing is possible by exporting a mail archive and moving it to another computer but it's not something you want to do on a regular basis. the best i can suggest is to check the option in mail preferences->accounts->advanced to keep messages on the server after retrieval. this way you can download them to both computers.

I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

I have ical on two computers. Can't get ical (vers. 4) with OS 10.6 to copy to older desk top with OS 10.4 with ical vers 2. Is there a way to do this?

No. iCal isn't just the program you open to see the calendars, there are other things going on beneath the surface, and it's hooked into the System. 10.4 doesn't have the facilities to run iCal intended for 10.6.

Problems sharing across two computers on home lan

I must be doing something basic wrong. The instructions for sharing a downloaded digital edtion sound very easy in the help manual but following those directions I am not able to share a book across two computers on my home lan.
Both computers have been authorized by my user id. When I open the menu item on Library menu/Authorize computer
I'm told the computer is authorized and my UID is shown. However when I attempt to `add' the book I get a message saying:
> This document cannot be opened on this machine.
> Please contact the site where you obtained the document
> to download another copy.
I just bought the book today not more than 2 hrs ago
The `knowledgbase' help for digital editions is completely useless and returns no hits regardless of what I type in the search field.
What else do I need to do to share a book across two home computers?

Harry
You shouldn't need anything else. The common problems (after you have gotten past the authorization) for sharing are:
- You copy over the .etd file instead of the .pdf file.
- You copy over the .pdf file from /Digital Editions/ebx_backup instead of /Digital Editions. (My best guess, given the error message).
- The file was purchased with only rights to view it on a single machine.
The not so common and more worrisome case would be if the License was not being correctly written into the file after you purchase it.
I would suggest that after verifying you are copying the correct file, you should open up a web support case, so that Bentley can track this, and help us gather all the correct information so we can figure out what is going on.
Sorry you're having problems

Sync nano to two computers?

If I have duplicate my iTunes files and folders on two computers can I sync a nano with both computers?
The reason I ask is that my PowerBook that I usually sync with does not have USB2 and I can get a USB2 PCI card for my PowerMac. I was hoping that I could do the inital sync on the PowerMac and do subsequent syncs on the PBook.
Thanks in advance.

You need to put your Ipod into manual mode to sync it with multiple machines. To do this you need to connect it to the original computer click on "Display Ipod options" or edit>preferences>ipod>select manual sync. Between two computers there is no way to auto sync but hopefully manuel will work for you.

Syncing ical across devices

Hi, I've recently started using the calendar application on iPad and iPhone, but noticed it hasn't automatically synced to my MacBook Pro. I looked at MobileMe but saw there was a charge for this service. Is there another way I can sync iCal across all my devices, please?
Thanks a bunch.

Hi,
Check your calendar where you are adding the event belongs to the MobileMe Calendar, otherwise will not synchronize.
Best Regards

Syncing podcasts on two computers

Is there anyway to sync podcasts on two computers without download them twice? I have an iMac, a Macbook, and an iPhone. I'd like to be able to download recent podcasts to either computer and have them show up on both computers so I don't have to worry about which computer I sync my iPhone with. I have 'Home Sharing' turned on, but it doesn't seem to help.
Sorry for the convoluted question. I hope it makes sense.

If they are purchased songs and both computers are the same i.e. both Mac or both PC, then you should be able to hook up the iPod to one, turn off auto sync and manually manage music. Add the purchased songs to the iPod and next time you hook the iPod up to the first computer it will ask if you want to transfer purchased music not on that computer. Do that, then you can turn auto sync back on without losing everything.
Another way to go is to make a CD/DVD back up of your purchases and then use that to transfer everything to one computer. You might want to do this anyway so there is less a chance of losing all your purchases.

Problem syncing Mail between two computers

I know this is a well worn topic and I've read the posts on syncing mail between two computers. Overall, I've gotten it to work pretty well. Whenever I move from one computer to another, I copy my ~/Library/Mail folder to my thumbdrive and sync it w/ the same folder on my other computer before I fire up Mail on it.
But here's the problem: I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on one of my computers (let's call it computer A). This apparently gives new message numbers to the messages. Things worked great on computer A after that.
Then I synced the mailbox with my other computer, computer B. On computer B, the change in mailbox numbers apparently was not recognized. Every message in the "sent" folder gave me the message that I needed to go online and download the message. So I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on computer B. Things then worked great.
Then I synced back with computer A and the same thing happened. Every message in the sent folder gave me the "download from server message."
It seems that I'm in some sort of infinite loop. The rebuild on one computer is not recognized by the other computer. Clearly, there is some file somewhere that contains info that's not being conveyed when I sync the ~/Library/Mail folder.
Any suggestions??

That is interesting. To that effect I have thrown together this Applescript:
(CAUTION... do not run this script, experimental only!
set flashDrive to "FLASH"
tell application "System Events" to exists process "Mail.app"
if the result is true then tell application "Mail" to quit
-- copy files to mounted disk
do shell script "rm -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
do shell script "cp -r ~/Library/Mail /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/"
do shell script "cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
--copy files to userfolder
do shell script "rm -r ~/Library/Mail"
do shell script "cp -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail ~/Library/"
do shell script "cp /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/com.apple.mail.plist ~/Library/Preferences/"
Problem is, I don't know how to tell the script which version of mail data is older or newer. If you know of such a way let me know and I'll script it in, otherwise the user is stuck with manually choosing what to copy to where.
And as we all know, any user choices are error-prone.
