Tiger Feature of the Day: .Mac Sync

If you're a .Mac subscriber, the Tiger upgrade provides a few new .Mac synchronization features. Previous versions of OS X used iSync to synchronize Safari bookmarks, iCal calendars, and Address Book contacts. But in Tiger, you can also synchronize Mail rules, signatures, and Smart Mailboxes; and Keychain-based stored passwords. However, this data is now synchronized through the .Mac System Preference, and not iSync for some reason.

You can configure .Mac to synchronize your personal data automatically (i.e. when anything changes), every hour, every day, every week, or manually.

This concludes my prerelease examination of various Mac OS X 10.4 "Tiger" features. I hoped you've enjoyed it, and thanks to everyone who wrote in with feedback. I'm trying to figure out a good way to archive this material, perhaps as a freely downloadable PDF file, or via a separate single page on this site.
