Safari/iSync - What Are They Up To?

[celaurie]

I've caught Safari a few times trying to back up Bookmarks with iSync. Where exactly is it backing up to, and why?

[evanchaney]

I just received that same dialog box. Looks like iSync will soon be able to synchronize Safari bookmarks.

[celaurie]

Yeah, but where are we backing up to? I don't have an iDisk/.Mac account. Is there some way to change your prefs to back-up to a disk or some on line location?

Hrm.

maybe its to sync them with the fabled iPad tablet/Enhanced iPod/robotic web surfable monkey

what about robotic web surfable hippos?

lol

i got the same thing. i think it's syncing with the other internet apps on your computer.

i have never seen this before. is it while running isync or safari...or both?

[Perceptes]

Maybe it's putting it in a local disk file to be synced with .Mac when you actually run iSync. With a feature not yet implemented, it's hard to know.

i donjt have .Mac and i got it. i still think that it is syncing with the other browser's bookmarks.
