Hi Everyone, Today I have been twittering with one of our listeners. Marie has the problem that she is using an iPhone application that she wants to sync with the desktop version of the same software.
Apple has not opened the MobileME sync mechanism to them. So they really have only two options. They have to host special web services to let their programs share data. That costs them money and management resources. It puts your data on their servers. So the other option is to let the desktop application recognize the iTouch based application across a local network and synchronize directly. Well that is a problem if you do not have a wireless router in your home.
Victor did a post on sharing your Evdo connection with your iPhone. This should work for the application sync problem if your desktop is something like a current iMac. If you run it wired to the Internet then just pick that as the share from instead of the Evdo mentioned in Victor’s post. That makes your mac act like a wireless access point. Your iPhone or iPod can then see it and your applications can sync. Oh and keep in mind the sharing has to be done on the mac you want to sync directly with.
Just keep in mind that this feature only supports the older WEP wireless encryption which is useless these days for privacy due to the ease it can be broken by someone with intent to get in. It only serves to stop someone from casually jumping on your wireless and seeing your network traffic.
So if you won’t buy a router then this is your only real option for applications that require local wireless connection to sync. Also please do NOT do this if it is your computer at work and you have not cleared it with your IT or IT Security department. It would open your company network and really tick off your IT folks and even can cost you your job in some environments. I know if I caught our employees doing it there would be a serious talking to…
It is no surprise that I am a fan of Geoff Smith the composer of the Typical Mac User Theme music, themes for many other podcasters and the co-founder of www.ringtonefeeder.com.
However Geoff is so much more than this. He is a super talented working musician who shares his talent with our geek and New Media community. Check out this new Video that I first saw on Cali and Neal’s geekbrief.tv , where his song ” Ones and 0s” is featured. Listen to the words, feel where he is coming from. Have you ever been on the other? or have you ever been the one who laughs or ridicules?
Then, go buy his on-line CD today and support this talented man. Oh yeah… of course he is a Mac.
Jon Davis (intern from geekbrief.tv) did the video and he totally rocked the house. This man also is full of talent. I met him briefly at Macworld too.

Katie from The Mac Core podcast, David Sparks from MacSparky.com and I figured out a work around to a problem Katie was having with MobileME calendar push synchronization and calendar subscriptions. You just need a Google Gmail account and BusySync for Mac. Maybe BusySync will add direct caldav subscription ability to their product and save us the gmail step to this workaround one day.
