Sync Two or More Macs
SyncTogether is perfect for people who move between two or more Macs, such as a MacBook and an iMac. Easily keep contacts, calendars, notes, Apple Mail account settings and more in sync between your Macs to have access to your information when you need it the most. SyncTogether can run automatically, or whenever you want with the click of a button. It's easy to set up and use across a local network--even via Wi-Fi--and supports advanced IP addressing to sync over the Internet.
Sync Only What You Want To Sync
SyncTogether's selective syncing feature lets you choose individual Address Book groups and iCal calendars to sync with other family members' Macs. Sync only your class schedule, bowling team contact list, soccer game schedule, or family phone list--sync only what you want without sharing your entire contact list and calendar. SyncTogether can even synchronize information between multiple accounts on the same Mac, which is great for families that share a single computer.

You can reset this, but it still does not work as it should. Syncs fail for obscure reasons "check the history file for the reason", but the history fails just says, "Failed, check the history file for reason". One computer looks as if it is still syncing, but you cannot cancel the sync. The other computer looks like it is not synching, but refuses to quit because it "is synching".
At $50, this program is an insult, it feels and works like a $10 shareware from a beginning programmer. It worked for a while for me, but right now it is a maintenance nightmare. Until MarkSpace gets their act together - which I doubt they will - Avoid!

Have you sought support from the developer? If they are of little help that is petty harsh for a $50 app.

Any ideas on what my problem might be? Check out the knowledge database at the MarkSpace website and that was of no assistance.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Finally, this application is pure annoyance.

The interface is ugly, and why is there a Mark/Space store in this programme? Paid $50 for a programme filled with ads. When it syncs it pops up the window, which is annoying, why can't it be done in the background? Maybe it should have a menulet?
SyncTogether would be good if it actually worked, but $50 for a buggy beta with ads is definitely too much to pay and I regret it.

It's adverstised that you could sync WHATEVER you want. Well, I can't find ANYwhere to sync files/folders other than what the app restricts you to. And as for setting up the second Mac to sync with, it makes no sense.
Chronosync is much better, simple, to the point, non-restrictive AND could sync over wi-fi, network, etc.
Don't bother with SyncTogether and BOY am I glad I didn't buy it outright.
Some developers probably feel that the more complicated an app is (or in their minds "feature-rich") the better. Not so here...
Pure and unadulterated garbage!

I REALLY need a software solution like this, and am happy to plunk down my $50.00 (a great deal if it works as advertised), but with the reported issues, I wanted to try a demo first. Sadly, it appears that there is (apparently) no demo version any more. The download links at both MU and VT are pointers to MarkSpace only. What does all this add up to?
Well, it's a big red light to me, screaming : "Warning, Will Robinsons, Warning!"
1) Can someone from www.marcspace.com please comment: what of this (these) issue(s), are they being, or have they been, resolved?
2) Can we get a demo? How?
Thanks...Dorian

I am the original developer of MySync (which became SyncTogether). Although I have continued to work with Mark/Space on SyncTogether, I'm writing here in a personal capacity.
As far as a demo is concerned, that's really a Mark/Space question, so I won't comment on that right now.
As far as the user reviews go, if you look back over the reviews here on MacUpdate, almost all of these relate to the original MySync, and most are very favourable. VersionTracker has a few more negative comments, but these all relate to MySync, and are largely from people who felt (with some justification - sorry about that), that they didn't receive adequate support during the transition.
On both sites, the app has a four star, or greater rating.
The SyncTogether forum at Mark/Space is slightly different. This is for discussion of problems with the app, and gives users a direct point of contact with the engineering teams and vice versa. It's not surprising that there are more problem reports than praise there.
In fact, I've been more surprised at the lack of issues, and the low numbers of support requests that have been received.
Some users will always run into problems with syncing - there are a lot of moving parts, including Sync Services and the client applications. For examples that don't involve SyncTogether, see Apple's .mac sync forum at http://discussions.apple.com/forum.jspa?forumID=957
However, the overwhelming majority of SyncTogether user's experiences seem to have been relatively problem free as far as I can tell.
Hope this helps.
cheers,
Martin

Their tech support respondes, albeit 2 or 3 days after I posted my tech support request. I went through this twice, and am once again trying to get it to work through tech support, but so far nothing works.
One of the ridiculous suggestions posted by their forum's moderator was to make sure that iSync is configured to allow browser bookmark syncing. If I wanted to use .Mac I wouldn't have bought this program in the first place... amazing.
This program has been a complete waste of money, and I bought 2 licenses so that I could use it on 4 machines. So I've wasted $100.

That said, I prefer address-o-sync for syncing addresses. MySync uses Apple's sync engine. It will inform you if information on cards conflict, e.g., if they have the same work number. However, if information is unique to one card or the other, it assumes that you want to keep it and merges the cards. This can result in bad info. For example, if suppose that the old card for John Doe on machine A has work number 123 and mobile number 456. John Doe has moved, and machine B has a new work number 789 and no longer has his mobile number. When you sync, Apple's engine will inform you of the conflicting work numbers, but will assume, because it's unique to one card, that you want to keep the mobile number, even though it's bad.
On the other hand, address-o-sync gives you three options when any information conflicts on the card: Keep the old card, keep the new card, or merge. It's more flexible, and prevents re-importing bad data. In the example above, I could view the card on both machine A and machine B and reject all of the data from machine A, preventing the bad mobile number from surviving.

And then it didn't sync the Adressbook properly, leaving some stuff out.
I'm back to manually copying the files from master to slave. Not so convinient, but safe.
DO NOT USE WITHOUT BACKUP! Or don't use it anyhow. Maybe all this will work properly, when it will hit 1.0. Hope so, then it's a great tool by the idea.

Unfortunately, SyncTogether doesn't work correctly for me between my G4 Powerbook and G5 iMac (both using OS 10.4.8), after several trys at resolving the problems. And yes, I followed the suggestions in the help file for troubleshooting.
All my attempts to synchronize Safari book marks, Yojimbo stuff, and address book contacts resulted in extraordinarily long periods of wait (15-20 minutes), and high processor load (on my PowerBook) followed by error messages and a crash of the node on my PowerBook. Contacts and Yojimbo info was partially synched to the iMac, but not at all for the PowerBook.
I guess it's a good thing this product has a demo, because it's not ready for prime time yet.
