Sync mac book pro with intel imac

I have an dual core imac and just got a mac book pro intel 2 dual core. I run a wireless g home network and have one windows maching on the network. What i want to do is mirror the imac and mac book so that they are for the most part the same computer. I want to mirror all the itunes songs, iphoto pics, and some other documents and random stuff. I was wondering what was the best way to do this. Or should I just sell the imac and just use the mac book. I would like to do this wirelessly so i don't have to hook up a firewire everyday. Something like everynight while i sleep the two computers sync up so that i can grab the mac book as i walk out the door and have everything on it that i have on my imac. And vice versa, if is do something during the day on my mac book i want to be able to have that at home on my imac. Basically have one computer, at home use the imac and on the move use the mac book. Is this possible, how do most people do this sort of thing. Or would I be better off just selling the imac and using the mac book pro for everything. Please help, I am getting no where fast with apple support.
thanks in advance

well, i don't know of a program that will do that on the fly for you.
what i would suggest is looking onto getting a .mac account.
also, you can just turn on sharing in iPhoto and iTunes (keeping all photos and music on one computer) and both machines will be able to access them. i have a g4 with an external drive that i keep all my music on - i turn on sharing and can listen to all the music on my macbook without it taking up the space on the hardrive.

    Thanks for any advise.

    A PowerPC Mac, if that's what it is, won't be able to see an Intel Mac's formatted data.  Also ExFat formatting is not supported by 10.6.3 or earlier.  I would try viewing the backup on another Intel Mac with at least 10.6.4.  If it isn't there, then the backup never really took place.  I much profer a hard drive with Carbon Copy Cloner.

  • Should I go for the Mac book pro or the iMac?

    Here's my dilemma: I am about to be a sophomore in college and my HP laptop just isn't cutting it for my regular use. My question (which I know is hard to answer) is whether I should purchase the Mac book pro or an iMac. Keep in my I have an iPhone and an iPad, which both come in handy for browsing. I currently use my iPad to keep most of my notes and lectures, but I still need a good computer. I need advice from someone who  has had this same problem or owns both an iMac and MacBook Pro. I know my iPad doesn't replace a laptop and I will probably be told to decide whether I need portability, but I would like to hear from someone who also had to make this decision. I'm not leaning to one or the other right now. I am at my home for a good bit, but I do travel around a lot since I am in college. With google drive and other apps I can do most of my writing on my iPad, but for printing reasons I still need the computer. So what are some opinions on which is a better but considering my needs?

    In college, my guess would be that portablity would be very important. Since the iMac isn't that sort of eliminates it from consideration.

    thank you

    That seems to be supported only up through 10.5.7 and probably needs Rosetta for it to run.
    Rosetta is not included in 10.7.
    If this is the case, you may need to partition your hard drive, install Windows on it, and use that partition for your work.

  • I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320 gig hdd and my drive is corrupted and I can't engage it. So I would like to switch to a 1 terabyte drive can this be done?

    I have a Mac Book Pro with a 320hdd, 2.33 processor, 8 gigs of RAM and  OS X 10.9.4 .  My hdd crashed and I cannot access it so is it possible to install a 1 terabyte drive with the operating software already installed and also upgrade my RAM to 16 gigs?

    If I were you I'd install a small SSD as the boot drive from OWC:
    http://eshop.macsales.com/shop/SSD/OWC
    Then put a second large conventional drive either in the optical bay (Data Doubler) or in an external.
    You don't say which MBP you have: Size, CPU type.
    Also when you upgrade you could see if you can salvage your data from your old HD. Can you hear it spin up? If so Data Rescue IV.

  • How do I network my Mac book pro with my Mac air?

    Hi - new at this Mac stuff: how do I network my Mac book pro with my Mac air? I am really looking to just share my photos from one to the other.

  • I have a Mac book pro with 2 users myself and my husband I loaded pics from our camera onto my user page does anyone know how to view these pics from my husbands login page can I transfer some of my library to his login page

    I have a Mac book pro with iPhoto updated to iPhoto 11 we have 2 users on our Mac myself and my husband.  I recently loaded all of our pictures from a recent trip into iPhoto under my login screen.  Can these photos also be transferred into my husbands iPhoto library under his login screen ?  I want to transfer some not all of them and already deleted them from the camera card.

    Use iPhoto Sharing.
    If you want the other user to be able to see the pics, but not add to, change or alter your library, then enable Sharing in your iPhoto (Preferences -> Sharing), leave iPhoto running and use Fast User Switching to open the other account. In that account, enable 'Look For Shared Libraries'. Your Library will appear in the other source pane.
    Any user can drag a pic from the Shared Library to their own in the iPhoto Window.
    Remember iPhoto must be running in both accounts for this to work.
