Help...

I have the 20" Imac as my main working computer and recently added a laptop to my collection. At first I could quite happily grab my time machine external drive and laptop when I went out, knowing that I could go on the external drive and copy my latest backup files from my Imac on to the laptop. And vice versa.

All of a sudden, I think since loading Snow Leopard, neither mac will copy off the time machine from the other Mac's back up folder unless I pull off one file at a time. If I go to drag a folder across it comes over empty!!!! Then it may want a password, then maybe not, it just isn't consistent. AAAAAAARRRHHH, does anyone know what is going on here? The external drive is Mac OS Extended (Journaled).

Is there a way of syncing my work on both computers that I do not know about?:\:Confused::Not-Amused::[:Shouting::Angry::Grimmace:
