I have two Mac, an Imac(Mac OS X Lion V. 10.7) and MacBook Pro(Mac OS X Lion V. 10.7.2). I would like to synchronize all possible data so that while I am mobile with the MacBook Pro, I don't lack some documents that I was working on from the Imac. Anyone with information or an idea on how to do this? Thanks. ~.~.~ Andrew
Use Dropbox, has worked so well for me and supports any device - phone, tablet, laptop, PC & any vendor. I have a set of all the documents I need on all my devices. ./Ok3ch On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 9:08 AM, Andrew Kiptoo <andrewkiptoo@live.com> wrote:

I was about to suggest icloud, forgetting dropbox which I use. Couldn't help but notice the mac user with a live.com account On 8 March 2012 09:14, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

iDisk is also supposed to do the same thing, though it requires you to have a MobileMe account. Unfortunately, MobileMe will be discontinued mid this year. However, MobileMe has been succeeded by iCloud, which might be free depending on which iOS or Mac OS version you run. On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 9:14 AM, Okechukwu <okechukwu@gmail.com> wrote:

I actually use a mixture of several cloud services: iCloud - for my backups of my iDevices & mail Dropbox - My favourite, for all documents I ned on the go & have to modify Evernote - My 2nd favourite, for all my note taking requirements & appears on all devices SugarSync/Box.net/SkyDrive - For all the other documents I need but do not modify & any other documents gMusic/mSpot/iTunes Cloud - For all my music All replicate data to nearly all devices, so favourite is just by preferance! ./Ok3ch On Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 9:24 AM, Peter Karunyu <pkarunyu@gmail.com> wrote:

I do a combination of two things. 1. I don't keep any valuable/important data on a workstation (neither laptop nor desktop), its always on a server that I mount. If its private stuff (movies, pictures etc) then It goes into my file-server at home, if its work-related then it goes into my "work server" and I mount a shared filesystem from there - this way I only need to worry about making backups of the server(s), and my work-machines can break down/get stolen without worry. 2. I generally keep everything in a private GIT repository (accessible on the internet), this is useful when I need copies on several machines - i.e. if I need to carry work related stuff on my laptop so I can develop while out of office. It has the added bonus that git keeps track of versions ensuring that I never override data, and always ensures me that I have the latest version at hand (takes some discipline to remember to push stuff before you leave a machine). I find this work surprisingly well between my desktop at work, my desktop at home and my laptop, I never find myself in a situation where I am missing a file.
