[QUOTE="Jamiefort, post: 1633555, member: 341071"] I've downloaded the trial of Chronosync and after a few false starts, it does seem to be a good solution. I'm going to play with it for the duration of my 1 month trial period, but it seems likely that I'll go down that route, so thank you. They suggest/recommend that I load the software on the Air as opposed to the office iMac. I've done it the other way around simply because I was sitting at my iMac when the thread started. In your experience, does it make any difference? Also I'm assuming that the best way for me to run it is simply as a "synchronise bi-directional" (after the first initial L to R sync). Doing this on my home network will work fine for me I think. Didn't really understand the stuff about whether my router allows WAN access, but thanks for the tip. I have noticed, when using Chronosync that I can access the necessary files on both left and right sides and the sync completes. However, if I want to repeat a sync for another file, I can only see my iMac's HD and nothing external to it (Airport extreme, Macbook Air for example). If I quit Chronosync and reopen it, it works fine again, and so on. Is this a fault, or am I missing something? Many thanks everybody for your comment so far. [/QUOTE]
