Sync two computers with one documents folder?

This is a question re: a imac and a powerbook. 
I am looking for a product that can update the most recently edited files in my documents folder on both computers automatically...
Often, I use the laptop remotely and need updates to the desk top and vise versa so that the folder being duplicated is a mirror on each machine...
Is this a possibility with some product currently on the market, two computers one set of folders?
Optimally I would like it to happen automaticall but a wired version would be OK too...
When machines are tethered the more recent folders update on either machine.

Hi Elin,
Here's a Dropbox tutorial which keeps two Macs synced: http://thenextweb.com/apps/2011/09/21/how-to-use-dropbox-to-sync-your-documents- folder-between-macs-for-free/
What's not clear is if it will allow you to disconnect the two Macs and then sync after reconnecting them.
iCloud is something else to consider.

  • Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens

    I have download and install Logic Pro 9.1.6 on my MacBookPro 13". I record on location with my MacBook an wil edit and arrange the music on my iMac at home. Can I use Logic Pro 9.1.6 on two computers with one licens. I'm the owner of both computers. If it can where can I find the program on my MacBook? and how to install and register?

    Hi, is  the iMac also 10.6.8? I had an iMac die when 10.6.8 was installed, it worked at first but after some You Tube flash videos the screen just locked and no mouse clicking anywhere did anything. It turned out that most older iMacs [ mine was from august 2007] have a graghics chipset that can't handle Snow Leopard, there were [are?] 77 pages on this "locked screen"topic in the Snow Leopard forum. I checked out a web site that tells you how much your mac is worth by filling in the sereal number-mine was worth only $168, I may give it to a friend for his children to play with, although that seems unholy. I doubt anyone woud buy it,the problem is now so well known that even Apple certified resellars here in the Netherlands refuse to repair them,they claim Apple will revoke their certification if they replace the faulty Graphics unit,it is also VERY hard to get to that unit in an iMac, everything is so tightly packed inside.
    If your iMac is running Mountain Lion[10.8.0] you may have to change the app store preference to accept apps from all sites,normally ML will only allow app store apps to be downloaded.

  • How to sync two IPhone with one PC , but with different applications

    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 iphones with one computer

    A co-worker and I share a secretary. We'd like to be able to sync our individual calendars (in Outlook '03) on our secretary's PC.
    Is this possible?

    UPDATE:
    Well I thought I figured it out when I realized iTunes gives you the option of syncing only selected calendars. My plan was to check only my calendar to sync with my phone and Gary's calendar to syn with his phone.
    Unfortunately, the option to sync only selected calendars is grayed out in iTunes. I can only check the "sync all calendars" box.
    Surely others have figured out how to sync two phones with one computer and only have the data you specify synced to the specific phone.
    Do I have to create another Windows user account where only Gary's calendar is maintained and then switch back and forth between user accounts whenever syncing?
    Any help would be much appreciated.

  • Syncing two computers with same short name

    Hi folks, esp. Dancing Brook ,
    So, I have a computer at work, a laptop at home, and a Palm PDA. Since both computers are mine, they have the same short name. I only make iCal entries on my work computer (plus anything that I enter in my PDA, of course), but like to have the latest iCal data on my laptop too. Here's my question:
    I only have iCal on my laptop for the convenience and as an extra backup. Since, however, it shares the same short name as my work computer, do I have to worry about sync issues? E.g., if my laptop iCal has old data, could it overwrite the new data if I sync it after I sync my work computer?
    I've read that changing the short name of your computer isn't a great idea, FWIW.
    Thanks,
    PL

    Don't know. Wouldn't think it would be a problem as it is too likely to happen (ie same name on both computers). But you could setup a new account with a new name on the laptop if you don't want to experiment. I would just backup and experiment, or set up two new users, one on each computer along with a trial .Mac account.

  • Synchronize two computers with one iPod

    Is there a way to synchronize my iPod with 2 computers, so that my music us up-to-date on both?

    You would have to install the music on both computers. If you sync your ipod with a second computer the ipod will ask if you want to use the ipod with this computer, if you say yes, it will remove all the songs and put them back on again using the library on the second computer. The ipod sync's one way, from computer to ipod. It will not sync ipod to computer. There are third party applications that will allow to do this. I have not used this application, so I can't say how well it works. Give it a try and let me know?

    This is my first post; am wondering if there is a way to plug the Extigy USB input into two computers at the same time, perhaps with a USB sharing device? Has anyone ever tried this? Thanks. Glad to be part of the new community group.

    Is it possible to stream audio from two computers (one Mac and one Windows) to a single Airport Express?
    Yes, but only one at a time.
    Does one take precedence over the other?
    No, you would need to determine which computer was streaming music at any given time.

  • Synchronisation two computers with one ipod?!

    Hi @All!
    I have two computers (mac and win) and want my itunes songs on both machines. Actually the ipod works with the win computer. How can I get the songs from the ipod to the mac? How can I transfer/sync these songs over the ipod on both systems.
    Thanks for any reply and hints.

    Probably the easiest way to use an iPod on both Mac and Windows computers is to format the iPod (using iPod Updater) using the PC. This will force your iPod to use the Windows file system (FAT32) which both the Mac and PC can read from and write to without the help of additional software. Of course then all your software updates for the iPod will have to be done on Windows.
    If you need to use a Mac (HFS+) formatted iPod on a Windows PC, you'll need to install some 3rd party software such as XPlay 2.0 (which you can get from MediaFour Software). This will enable your Windows PC to read a Mac-formatted iPod.
    However, please be aware that Apple does not officially support cross platform use.

  • Can Quicktime Pro be used on two computers with one registration code?

    I'm asking this on behalf of a friend who uses Windows. If you buy Quicktime Pro, can you put it on two computers? Because she might buy a new computer soon and she wants to know if she would have to buy it twice or not. Thanks
    .....Sorry if this has an obvious answer or if it's been asked before, but I've searched and couldn't find anything

    While the license is only good on one computer at a time you can delete the Quicktime preferences file on the first (removing the registraion on that machine) and install on a second machine. Of course, that is only if you are installing the same version of QT on the machines. The key will be good for any updates of a given version number but will not work with any subsequent whole version number release.

  • ITunes Libraries on two computers with one iPhone 3G 16GB White

    My Dad wants to put music from my macbook and from my mum's imac on his iphone. what is the best way to do this without mixing the two libraries, as I know you cannot sync the iphone with two computers?

    OK - so I'm off-piste a little here (since I don't have two phones to try it with) - but can't you just tick "Manually manage music and videos" or something on the Summary tab within iTunes when you plug in your iPhone and then drag-drop music to it/them? I know that it won't sync - but I'm pretty sure that you can do want you want.
    Take a look at this discussion - I believe iPhones work in the same way: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=7504192&#7504192

    No you cannot sync with two computers. "Sync" being the key word. You can use an iPad with multiple computers for the purposes of transferring music.
