[X4U] iSync questions

[Eddie Hargreaves]

Syncing bookmarks via .Mac does exactly what its words describe. It
synchronizes your bookmarks for every computer that you choose to sync.
Every computer you use would have the exact same bookmarks (in Safari only)
Since your bookmarks bar is part of your bookmarks, that is included.

How it works is that you first choose one computer to sync, and the
bookmarks from that machine are uploaded to the .Mac server space. When you
set another machine to sync, it will download the bookmarks from .Mac and
overwrite the existing file. Any changes you then make from the second
machine are uploaded to .Mac and then downloaded from .Mac to the first
machine, etc.

This is also true for the address book. You requested that your work
addresses be copied to your home computer but not vice versa. That is not
syncing, that is copying. You can do that manually. Maybe an AppleScript
could be written to make it a scheduled process. Maybe one is already
available.
