iSync: Using .Mac to Synchronize Multiple Macs
By Michael Flaminio, Insanely Great Mac
October 4th 2002
Article takes a look at using iSync to keep address and appointments current across
multiple Macs.
Apple's iSync is an ambitious application intended to synchronize its customer's
digital lifestyle. The application is designed to sync up data from Apple's Address
Book and iCal applications between a Mac and cell phone, PDA, other Macs and even the
iPod.
When it was announced, I was instantly attracted to the concept because one pain in my
life is keeping information current between my computers. One of my biggest challenges
is trying to keep a unified set of addresses. When Mac OS 10.2 came out, I took a step
in the right direction by moving over to the built-in Address Book. Apple's Address
Book is more than just a place to keep names and numbers. Apple smartly uses the
Address Book as a hub of information that can be used throughout the operating system,
for example address are available in Mail and iChat, Apple's email and instant
messaging applications. Even iCal gets in on the action, allowing you to invite
contacts for meetings or events. It's not just Apple products either, as third-party
software such as FaxSTF link to the Address Book.
