Syncing documents between computers?

When I had MobileMe, I used my iDisk to move files back and forth between my home and work computers.  I've just "upgraded" to iCloud, and based on what I'm reading, it looks like iCloud only lets you keep documents in sync if they're produced in Apple's own document suite (Pages, Keynote, Numbers).  Is that correct?  Is there no way in iCloud to sync other documents?
Thanks in advance!

Never mind, I've figured it out.  Apparently now I can use my Time Capsule as a self-hosted iDisk equivalent, which seems to work just as well as iDisk did.

  • Sync documents between laptop and flashdrive

    Hello all...
    When I was using Windows, I used to use Briefcase to sync documents between my flash drive and my laptop; I later found SyncToy to be quite useful and a lot more reliable.
    Is there any program (like SyncToy or Briefcase) that will allow me to keep fully-editable copies of the same document on my flash drive and notebook, and sync between them on my Mac?
    Thanks!

  • Best way to sync documents between 2 computer

    I've both a Mac Pro and a MacBook Pro and I also have a mobile me account. What is the best and easy way to sync documents on both computers? I don't want to sync everything just couples folders.

    You may also want to check out dropbox. www.getdropbox.com. I have MM, but I find it easier to use Dropbox for documents I want to move or access from computer to computer.

  • How do you sync files between computers

    I want to sync files between Macbook Pro (2011) and IMac. File structure for Pictures needs to be Identical, not sure what is best method. Do not want to try until I have a good plan.

    Hello AshleyRiverman,
    It sounds like you have a directory of folders that contain photos in a specific organization that you want to copy to another computer. You can enable File Sharing to be able to access the photos from one computer on another, and even allow the viewing computer to be able to add photos or delete them, thereby keeping them the same across both computers. This article will help you get that set up and configure the permissions for it:

  • Sync Mail Between Computers

    I am running 2 macs. I have one problem...is there any way that I can have my mail sync on both computers without .mac ... It can be quite a pain having to check then delete the mail on one computer, and then come on my other computer and have to delete all the same messages. Again, I would not like to have to subscribe to .mac ... I know it is a great program from mac, but the fees can be a pain, so if there is any way to do this, I would thank you!!!!
    Thank You.

    Hi.
    With .Mac mail, it allows you to run it as a IMAP mail, which stores everything on the mail server.
    That is the kind of mail you probably looking for, to "sync" between two or more macs, you basically access your entire mail account, which is on a mail server, via an email program like Mail or Entourage.
    So if you do not wish to subscribe to .Mac, then you would have to look for another mail account, that supports IMAP.
    Incidently, if you are looking for a free email account, and don't mind accessing it fromt the web, (i.e. web-based mail) then there are a lot for you to choose from: GMail, Yahoo Mail and Hotmail
    Cheers

  • Is it possible to sync catalogs between computers?

         I would like to sync PSE 10 catalogs (over my homegroup network) between my desktop computer (Windows 7 Pro, 64 bit) and my laptop (Windows 7 Home Premium, 64 bit), similar to the syncing between a computer and the photoshop.com website.  Is that possible?

    If you're talking about synching the photos, and the photos are on the computers, the answer is "No" because the catalog keeps the location information keyed to the drive ID.
    If you want to store the photos on a network storage device that's common to both computers, it can be done.  See this FAQ:

  • .Mac failing to sync Contacts between computers--what do I need to Copy?

    I have two computers syncing everyhting via .Mac but today after making a lot of changes on one (the Quad), the Powerbook is blowing up with the following statement (which I see is not an uncommon error after reading a lot of post):
    .Mac Sync Notice
    An inconsistency was detected on .Mac for your Contacts data. You may want to reset .Mac from a computer with good data.
    I have tried following the .Mac support ideas:
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iSync/2.0/en/isc9.html
    The 'Reset Sync History" did not change the error.
    So now, I am thinking of going back to the old fashion way and just manually copy the file from my Quad over. Other than AddressBook.Data in Library/Application Support/AddressBook do I need to copy anything else to get back to a steady state????
    PB 17 1.33 GHZ & 12 1GHZ & new Quad   Mac OS X (10.4.3)  

    I manually copied over entire Address file and then reset Quad first to overcopy .Mac and then PC to reset to .Mac.
    Had to do it twice, but eventually I was able to get it to work again.

  • Firefox won't sync passwords between computers

    Hello,
    I recently got a new desktop computer and would like to move my Firefox data from my laptop. Using sync, I have successfully transferred my bookmarks. However, my passwords are not syncing.
    I do not have a master password enabled and I have clicked the option to sync passwords on both devices. When I use the Options menu to view my saved passwords on both computers, I can definitely see that the many passwords I have saved on the laptop have not made it over to the desktop. I have tried restarting Firefox on both devices. I do also have the latest version of Firefox on both.

    and what really pissed me off was he said that he would make sure that all my information would copy and paste over to the new firefox.. yeah NOT, I'm having to go back and add all my tabs/websites. what I do love about Firefox is the pinning of tabs and remembers passwords/information. again Thanks

  • Sync documents between iPad and MacBook

    I want to be able to edit Pages documents on my iPad and MacBook, and have sync from one to the other. I'm no having success with either the iCloud or Dropbox. When I make changes on the iPad, they don't seem to get reflected on the MacBook. Any suggestions?

    I believe that Pages on the Mac does not support iCloud yet.

  • Syncing Documents between MacBook & 1st gen iPad

    Is there any way for me to access documents on my MacBook Pro on my first generation iPad? 
    My MacBook came with the Preview program that allows you save highlighting...is there a similar app for iPad?

    There are many PDF apps in the App Store to pick from. Probably the one that I see most recommended here is called GoodReader. That one is supposed to be one of the most robust, full featured, PDF apps from what I have read. You can check it out here.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/goodreader-for-ipad/id363448914?mt=8
    For my needs, and because it is free, I use Adobe Reader. It offers many features, fillable form fields, highlights, notes, renaming documents, grouping in folders, adding your signature ....and like I said .... It's free.
    https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/adobe-reader/id469337564?mt=8
    Both of these apps work with iOS file sharing and I think that GoodReader might work with iCloud. The only apps that I know for sure that work with iCloud are the Apple iWorks apps. You would have to check that out to be sure.
    If you are not familiar with file sharing, you can check it out here.

  • Photoshop CC - Can't sync settings between computers

    Hi!
    I have Photoshop CC both on my desktop computer and on my laptop. Now I want to sync the settings to my laptop. But it doesn't work.
    Here is a screendump from my desktop computer:
    As you can see I'm logged in to my account. But shouldn't I also be listed as logged in under Settings > Syncronize Settings?
    Is there something I have overlooked?
    I would be thankful for some support.
    Thor

    I went into the help menu and signed out of PSCC 2014, and then signed right back into it and it was available for me to save my settings. This worked for me - Hope it works for anyone who finds this post.

  • How do you sync tabs between computers with Mozilla Firefox Sync?

    I have some groups of tabs. Can I sync these groups to my new PC?
    When synchronization is complete, nothing changes and the group is not synchronized!

    Hi bendorzx,
    You can sync tabs, but I am not sure about groups.
    There is a bug: [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1011357] that could use some more information on this.

  • Sync calendars between computers allowing edits

    Hello. I couldn't find an answer to this, so if there is one and i've missed it could someone please direct me?
    I have a mini running 10.5 while my wife is on our PowerBook Ti running 10.4 (meaning different versions of iCal.) What we would like to do is set up a "Household" calendar that we can both edit/view on our machines to stay on top of household chores/bills/etc. Is there a way to do this aside from using third party applications?
    Again, thanks in advance and sorry if this has already been answered elsewhere.

  • Where do I find the "On My Mac" mailbox files and can I Sync them across computers?

    I want to find out if I can sync them across computers and have the files show up on my desktop and my notebook.

    Here's where mine seem to be:
    Macintosh HD > Users > (MyName) > Library > Mail > V2 > Mailboxes > (etc.)
    Not sure if yours are there.  I haven't tried syncing them between computers with a program such as Chronosync but it may work.
    Maybe this helps.

  • Synching iTunes between computers

    I backed up my files including iTunes from my iMac to Macbook pro.
    If I add songs to iTunes on my iMac, and then update them to my iPod, how can I use the iPod to update the new songs onto my MBP?
    Thanks.

    A simple way to sync iTunes between computers is to turn on advanced > home sharing in iTunes on both computers.
    Once activated on both computers, you can import tunes.
    There is also a handy option at the bottom of the iTunes screen that will only display those tunes you don't have on the receiving computer—which you can drag and drop or select import
