Sync to iMac OS x 10.6

[bhogsett]

I run both Windows 7 and OS X 10.6 on my iMac using Apple's bootcamp.

I can copy files from the Mac to the PC.

I want to sync directories on the MAC and PC side (the folders contain .jpg for wallpaper, but that is probably not relevant).

When I try to establish a new profile, I cannot access the Mac directory which ihe PC sees as E:\Users\bhogsett\Documents\My Wallpaper.

The Syncback file requestor gets to E:\Users but will go no further.

Any suggestions?

Thanks.

Bill

Can you browse to the full depth of the folder using Windows Explorer?

If so, have you tried simply cutting and pasting the path from Explorer into the SyncBack box (Source or Dest, whichever)?

(Sorry, we don't use Macs here, so cannot test here)

If you still have a problem, you could try a copy of SyncBackSE or Pro free for 30 days to see if that solves the issue

Do not uninstall the freeware or you will defeat the auto-profile import feature. SE imports from the freeware, Pro from SE, so if you want to try both - see below - install in the obvious order. If you only want to try Pro, you can uninstall SE afterwards. There is no automated process of importing profiles into Pro from the freeware, though you can manually export them from the freeware and manually import into Pro.

The SE & Pro versions can be installed in parallel with the freeware and/or each other. Do not install any 'model' to the same folder as another (just accept the default folders for an easy life). The SE & Pro versions will uninstall cleanly if you decide not to purchase. If you do decide to purchase, the serial number will unlock whichever version you decide to license. There is no need to uninstall the 'trial' and download a 'registered' version. Entering the serial number converts the former to the latter. Any version you decide not to keep will uninstall without affecting the version you do keep (if any).

(Note: any auto-profile import will not include the schedules (to avoid double-triggering). If you want to switch your scheduled profiles over, you need to delete them from the version where they were created and re-create them from the version where you want them. A manual export/import, on the other hand will include schedules (the export routine doesn't know you're exporting for the purposes of re-importing: could be as a backup, so it includes a copy of the schedule in the export package), so you'd need to manually delete duplicate schedules if you keep both copies of the profiles 'active', otherwise they'll clash / run twice)
