Synchronizing your bookmarks

Using iSync 1.1 and your .Mac account, you can automatically synchronize your bookmarks between several computers.

For example, if you use a Mac at home and one at work, you can synchronize your Safari bookmarks on both computers so they are the same.

If iSync finds a bookmark that has changed on both your computer and the .Mac server, it asks which bookmark you want to keep.

To start synchronizing your bookmarks, choose Preferences from the Safari menu and click Bookmarks. Select the checkbox to synchronize your bookmarks using .Mac.

If the checkbox is dimmed, you may need to register your computer with the .Mac synchronization server. To do this, click Configure to open iSync and click the button to register your computer.

After you register your computer, make sure synchronizing your bookmarks is selected in iSync, then click Sync Now. If you have questions about using iSync, choose iSync Help from the Help menu.

If you want to keep your bookmarks synchronized, select the checkbox to synchronize automatically every hour.

To synchronize Safari bookmarks on another computer, register the computer and click Sync Now in iSync.

You can't synchronize your Safari bookmarks if iSync 1.1 or later isn't installed on your computer.

To get the latest version of iSync and sign up for a .Mac account, visit the Apple website.
