2 ways to synchronize your web browser’s bookmarks in OSX

Posted in Mid-level, Review, Safari, Synchronizing, WGN Radio Show Notes | by gray - July 5th, 2006

For those people in search of alternative web browsers for Mac OS X, and for Windows, too, we keep recommending Firefox and Opera to Mac users, along with Apple’s Safari , but we haven’t yet talked about how to synchronize your bookmarks, or even just move them over! once you’ve made the switch to a new web browser. Given many people horde, er, I mean collect many, many bookmarks (”favorites”), this is potentially an important issue we’ve neglected to address, as my family was quick to point out.

Syncing your phone(s) to your Mac

Posted in Mid-level, Phones, Review, Synchronizing | by jenni - May 23rd, 2006

I bought the Missing Sync (www.missingsync.com ) and I have to tell you, for anyone using Palm products and the Palm desktop HotSync software I must tell you it is a GODSEND. I know a client that is using the Sony Clie and I myself am using the Palm Treo 650. Syncing it via usb cable or wireless thru Bluetooth is incredibly simple. Bluetooth takes a few minutes longer, but is still flawless in data transfer. The interface plays nicely with Palm conduits as well as the .Mac sync suite (iCal, Address Book) and even will sync up your tunes from iTunes. I was amazed at the ease of use with it. I have in the past spent many a long workday futzing with Palm HotSync and the conduit setting for my clients. Palm doesn’t seem to proactive as of yet to change the interface of their software, and until then I will gladly recommend this software title to our clients that struggle with the integrated Palm suite.

Calendars, Contacts & More

Posted in How To, Synchronizing, iCal, ipod | by Tom Keen - April 25th, 2006

OK, I admit it. I still carry around an old-fashioned address book. Well, I recently discovered that I could transfer my contacts from Address Book, plus info from iCal, to my iPod.

If you are using a Mac and iSync, it’s as easy.

To import all information using a Mac and iSync:

  1. Connect iPod to your computer.
  2. Open iSync and choose Devices > Add Device.
  3. Select iPod and click Sync Now.

iSync transfers the data from iCal and Mac OS X Address Book to your iPod.
