If you are like me, you have a smartphone, a laptop and a desktop computer… Who knows, you might even have an iPad and maybe even a work computer too. You likely spend more time synchronizing all these devices than you’d like.
Luckily there is a solution!
I recommend you use a few different solutions to keep it all together.
*If you need help, I can set all of your devices to synchronize with each other*
Contacts, Mail and Calendars:
You can easily synchronize all devices by using Gmail for your calendars and contacts. This way all of your contacts are immediately available on all of your devices. You can also use a Google calendar and that way you can set up appointments from a computer that is automatically pushed to your phone. You even have the ability to share calendars with friends, colleagues and even your spouse. No excuse for not picking up milk (or wine in my case) on the way home.
Here is a resource to help;

Dropbox for files:
This is an excellent tool to share files between multiple computers. There is also a smartphone app that you can use as well.

TeamViewer for remote control:
I’ve been using this tool for years. You can use this to transfer files from computer to computer, but more importantly, you can use it to control a computer remotely. This is excellent, for example, if you want to do your banking but don’t want to do it from a work computer. You can log into a home computer from work and do your transfers. Another use is for printing at home. You can easily log in to the home computer and print on your home printer from a coffee shop and your document is ready when you get home.

Well I thought evrhiteyng was working and I was in the clear but….All my contacts and all my calender events are synced (the good news) but the email is still pretty much fubar. Nevermind the fact that it’s push email and still taking way to long to actually push – I can blame that on the rush of people (including me) turning this feature on and strangling the servers. However, my inbox appears to have the correct emails but all the other folders (roughly 70 or so) have no synced up to receive their respective emails. A few of the folders have a few of the emails but for the most part it isn’t working at all. It appears to have nothing to do with time constraints because some email as young as a week old are not syncing up with the folder. I have the email configured to sync all email regardless of age but it doesn’t seem to matter. It isn’t as though the phone is having an error because it goes through the motions of checking email/etc but it just doesn’t pull down the emails in the folders. I’m very frustrated…
Sorry it took so long to get to this message. I get so much spam, I barely ever check this.
I do have some theories on what the problem is.
Let me know if you still need help.
