Take Control of Syncing Data in Snow Leopard
$21.98
Book
With clear directions and a humorous touch, expert Michael Cohen walks you through exactly how to sync managed data from a Mac running Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with a variety of devices and services. Whether you want to sync phone numbers between your Mac and your mobile phone, share calendars and keychains between Macs, or move only new podcast episodes to an iPod, you'll find useful advice and directions. ("Managed data" is data that you can't usually see as separate files in the Finder—iCal events, Address Book contacts, Safari bookmarks, anything you store in iTunes or iPhoto, and so forth.)
You'll also learn how syncing works under the hood and get troubleshooting advice in case your sync engine throws a rod.
Take Control of Users & Accounts in Snow Leopard

Kirk shows you how to set up a troubleshooting account, use Fast User Switching, share files among users, manage login and startup items, and more. Kirk also reveals tricks for sharing music and photos among multiple users on your Mac using iTunes and iPhoto.
