I can sync my MacBook Pro with my iOS devices, but not with my Apple iMac 27 inch desktop? Both have the same operating systems and version of IPad. Can you help me with this problem?

    Unfortunately wi-fi sync currently does not work between Macs, only between Mac and iOS devices.

    Do you object to Dropbox? That's the best way.

    Hi @McLaughlin1936,

    As danco mentioned, Wi-Fi sync is meant to work between a single Mac and one or more iOS devices. It will not work directly between two Macs.

    If you have multiple Macs, a better solution may be to use Dropbox sync between your Macs and iOS devices. Alternately, you can keep syncing your iOS devices with one Mac via Wi-Fi, and keep the Macs in sync with each other using the Folder sync option with another sync service.

    I hope that helps, but if you have more questions or need help setting up a sync option, please let us know. :)
