Is there anyway to sync Safari bookmarks across two machines with different systems (personal = older, work = newer & lion)?
MacBook Pro 17" (home), MacBook Pro 15" (Work), Mac OS X (10.5.8), iPods x3, iPhone G3 and iPad
HI..
You could use Migration Assistant to move the Bookmarks.plist file from ~/Library/Safari

Or save the Bookmarks.plist file to a thumb drive on the older Mac then move to the ~/Library/Safari folder from the thumb drive to the Mac running Lion.
Yes, know I can manually do this (plist)—but looking for a live sync solution between home/work machines (between 7 devices having manual sync points are a real drag). And recently went with 1password auth/service (which has a browser plug in) thus would like to find a way to solve.
Other thoughts?
Sync? Only Macs running v10.7.2 can enable iCloud to sync via Wi-Fi.
Of course you can sync to an older mac. You just can't use iCloud to do it. You have to use 3rd party software. Look into Dropbox. You just have to relocate the bookmarks file from ~/Library/Safari to a dropbox folder and then tell Safari where the new location is.
