Possible to sync on 3 computers??

Parafly9 · 01-11-05, 02:14 PM

It's pretty frusterating, because I have
1. My home PC
2. My work PC
3. A third PC which I run a small business from

and want to be able to standardize data between all three. Thus far, whenever I switch to a new one, I delete a partnership, sync the data. Then, when i go to a new one, I delete that partnership, and create a new one. But then I end up with all these folders and it's just a mess. Is there any way to do this?

I do something like that, but instead of syncing all 3 to my PPC, I only sync one comp with it. I have a free Yahoo account for email, contacts, calendar etc and use their free Intellisync program to then sync that computer to my online contacts etc. From there I can download Intellisync and sync any other outlook based PIM that I want. I just have to make sure I sync between my computer at home and online before I leave in the morning. It sounds like a bit of an ordeal, but once you have everything set up, it's pretty easy, plus you have the added benefit of being able to access all that info online with a secure connection.

Sync Manager will alow you to make more than two regular partnerships with your Axim. There's also a registry hack that will allow it but this Kelbran software will be easier (it costs $10, though). I'm pretty sure it will work with WM03SE but you might want to shoot them an email to be sure.

Intellisync will also allow you to sync to more than 1 machine but costs much more than the software mentioned in the previous post. They have a trial version.

Somewhere buried in the hundreds of Freeware apps available at http://www.freewareppc.com was an app to allow multiple syncs.

The sync manager from Kelbran allows you to sync with multiple computers. I haven't tried it though.

I have used Sync Manager on my X5 with WM2003 and it works fine.

I just picked up SyncManager, but the directions are kina confusing. does it operate in the background? or do I need to configure it somehow.

I dont know if Intellisync for Yahoo is the same as Pumatech's Intellisync software. I dont have a Yahoo account so cant try the yahoo version.

Motionmind, do you know if Intellisync for Yahoo is made by Pumatech? Or is just Yahoo's own synch software and they stole the name? I checked the description of the service on Yahoo and it sounds just like Pumatech's software. Just wondering...if it is the same, I may end up getting a yahoo account for it.

It is made by Pumatech. It's free since you can only sync between Yahoo and your computer.

Thats pretty sweet. I'm not a big fan of Yahoo but for those of you out there that need a program like Intellisync and dont care to pay the $70 or so fee from Pumatech, I guess going through Yahoo to use it is a good deal.
