cross-machine synch and joining the 21st century
Much of this is likely mundane and searchable in archives... wherever they might be... Machines in play: == a G5 (should be just for audio and graphic work, not web or mail or other outside communication) == an INtel Core duo (should be for most office, regular communications and functions as as well as duplicating a lot of what the G5 does in a pinch) == an intel dual-core Laptop that I think ought to be a portable version of the iMac but also is primarily the location audio recording rig, and an iPhone4 In the last few weeks I have been immersed in a large continuing project wherein the overarching organisation runs on a fairly comprehensive corporate collection of gmail, email, and smart phones all working together with things like TEAMPASS for internal communications and project management. We're setting up a public marketing program involving ALL social media aggressively with me booking talent, keeping track and maintaining constant content updates and additions to a Facebook site, a separate website and others. I am woefully behind on integrating, in ANY way, all of this. Especially the iPhone which is at this point has been set up as little more than a phone, but needs to be the pocket office it can be. In addition the 3 main machines are badly non-synched and disorganised as regards calendars, contacts and any comprehensive consolidation and organisation of a LOT of data for projects spread across internal and external HDrives hung off all machines. The G5 oddly has the most up-to-date CONTACTS and CALENDAR and ITUNES info.. any suggestions, tutorials, guidance or kick-in-the-butt pep talks would be hugely helpful. -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.

Update all the intel and phone devices so that they can run iCloud, or move to google mail, calendar and contacts for all your systems. This means 10.7 or 10.8 for the Macs and IOS 6 for the iPhone for iCloud. All will work regardless for Gmail/calendar/etc. iCal and Mail work well with Google. In 10.8 if you select the 'GMail' account to set up it will synch Mail, Calendars and Reminders, Messages (via Google Talk) and Notes. Contacts can be sycnhed to mobile devices, and thence, (I think) via iCloud to your Desktops. https://support.google.com/mail/answer/2753077?hl=enref_topic=21369 Make sure you back up all your calendars and contacts before you start messing with this. iCloud will synch in order of when devices are connected to icloud. I connected my home system, then my Work desktop many months later, and I only saved my well-organized work bookmarks because I had a good Time Machine backup, then lost them a couple times before I figured out that iCloud was overwriting my home bookmarks on my work machine. I had to disconnect my home machine form icloud and re-connect until I got the bookmarks synched the way I wanted. iCloud will kinda sorta sycnh iTunes stuff, skewed towards stuff you bought from Apple, not stuff you ripped yourself. -- Bruce Johnson University of Arizona College of Pharmacy Information Technology Group Institutions do not have opinions, merely customs -- -- You received this message because you are a member of G-Group, a group for those using G3, G4, and G5 desktop Macs - with a particular focus on Power Macs.
