If so, syncing should be very simple and nearly automatic.

Good luck!

If your devices are synced, data entered on one device will show up on the other unit.

For example, if I add a Bookmark on my iPhone, it will show up on my MacBook and iPad. Similarly with Contacts, Music, etc. Techies smarter than I assure me that the data is encrypted and safe.

Have a good weekend!
