Q: How do I  sync my Reunion files from my iPad to my iMac

I am working on Reunion (a genealogy program) and need to transfer the information gathered on my iPad to Reunion 10 on my iMac. People at Leister, while very willing have not been able to help me with this problem. Anyone out there that can help?

Thanks

    Just saw your query. I know it is long overdue, but I thought it would be good for others to know how do transfer reunion files from iPads to iMacs. When you set your Reunion program on an iPad, you need to also open a Dropbox account. Just go to Dropbox.com and set up an account. It's free. Then, set up your iPad to save your files to Dropbox. When you are ready to transfer your Reunion files to your iMac, use Finder on the iMac to locate your Dropbox account in the left column where your Desktop, Documents, and Applications are usually listed. Open Dropbox and copy the file to the iMac file folder where you keep your iMac copy of the Reunion file (DO NOT CLICK and DRAG the file from Dropbox, the file will be erased from the Dropbox folder. You would then need to copy the file from your iMac back to your dropbox account.) If you update your iMac Reunion file, you can reverse the process by copying the iMac Reunion file and copy it to your Dropbox. In both cases, Dropbox will ask if you want to overwrite the existing file, click yes or change the file name before saving. I hope this helps.
