10.3: Use the .mac iDisk to store common application data
I have tried to use .Mac to share a Quicken database between my desktop G5 and my laptop TiPB. I can copy the file to the Documents folder of my iDisk from one machine and use it from that machine.

The "Quicken Data" file is actually a package, which is really a directory. If you right click (control-click) on the Quicken Data "file", it will give you the option of opening the package contents. Similarly, if you're comfortable with the Terminal, you can navigate to the location of the Quicken Data "file" and see that it is actually a directory. I'm saying "file" in quotes because it's really a directory.

What you need to do is stop using the file on your machine, only use the iDisk file. Then this works great.

I have verified the problem. The offered solutions do not help. When accessing the Quicken data file from iDisk from another machine, the "unpackaged" file/folder appears corrupt. Even the data file within the resulting unpackaged directory is not readable by Quicken (version 2003.) This is a problem for users that wish to access their Quicken data from multiple machines at multiple sites (ie. a G5 at home and a Powerbook at work.) |
