Reunion 10 on iCloud?

[Venita Roylance]

Will Reunion 10 files be stored on iCloud via a Mac? I use a Mac and a MacBook. I have downloaded version 10 to both, and upgraded my database on both. When I make changes on one computer, then try to replace the file on the other via AirPort, I get a "can't replace because you don't have permission" message. I unlocked the permissions on both computers and, after several tries and much frustration, was able to replace from Mac to MacBook once. Then I re-checked the file's Get Info, and the permissions had reverted back to "locked" on both Mac and MacBook. What am I missing? I moved my Reunion 9 file back and forth regularly any without problems.

I don't use any iOS devices, but Apple indicates that eventually we will be able to save iCloud-friendly documents on iCloud via Mac, maybe when "Mountain Lion" is released??? Will Reunion play well with iCloud? Would that solve my problem?

Simple answer, No. I hope it will in the near future.

I sync my iMac and Macbook by copying my Reunion file and with my iPad using the sync option in Reunion.

As far as I know iCloud syncing is only for apps that are sold through the Mac App Store...and Reunion is not available in the Mac App Store. Therefore I don't expect iCloud syncing support in Reunion 10.

But Reunion is available for the iPhone and iPad, and these apps could be programmed to backup to the iCloud in the future, like other apps can do right now.

Re: Reunion 10 on iCloud?

Synching and backup are two different animals.

In synching, the like file on separate devices "shake hands" and compare to determine what has changed with each file since the last time they spoke to each other. Then, based on the comparison, each sends necessary data to make each mirror the other.

Backup is just making a copy of a file. If you have Reunion on your iPhone or iPad, it is being backed up along with the rest of your data. Where it is backed up depends on whether you are backing up your device to iTunes or to iCloud.

Note: There is a major difference in the two backups under iOS 5. iTunes backup backs everything. iCloud backup backs all data plus the iOS apps. Thus, if doing a restore when you have been iCloud backup, first the iOS apps and your data are restored then the restore process downloads fresh copies of all of your other apps from the App Store.
