Syncovery is completely compatible with Max OS X 10.7 (Lion).

These instructions apply to users who:

  • have an older version of Mac OS X
  • want to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7 (Lion)
  • have an older version of Super Flexible File Synchronizer

New Mac OS Installation
If you are installing Mac OS X Lion on a new partition or hard disk, then there are no special precautions to take. Download the latest version of Syncovery after completing the installation of OS X Lion.

Upgrade
If you are installing Mac OS X Lion as an upgrade, and you are still using Super Flexible File Synchronizer, please follow these steps for a successful upgrade:

Before installing Lion, you should install the latest version of Syncovery. Please stop the scheduler and download the latest version from our web site. Double-click the installer and confirm the installation steps. You can then move the older Super Flexible Synchronizer to the trash.

Start Syncovery at least once before upgrading Mac OS. This will ensure that the configuration file is in the latest format.

Now you can install Mac OS X Lion.

After Installation of Lion
When Syncovery is started the first time on Lion, it may say that it doesn’t have write access to the configuration file. Please reply with YES twice to let it copy the configuration file to a user-specific location and to retain your existing profiles. After this, the program should run normally and you should still have your old profiles.

If your profiles are missing despite these instructions, you can import them. Go to the Profile Overview in Advanced Mode and click on the Gears toolbar button. Choose “Import Profiles…”. In the selection dialog, hit Cmd-Shift-G in order to go to a specific folder. Type /Library/Preferences and click OK. Then, please choose the newest Syncovery.cfg or SuperFlexibleSynchronizer.cfg file and click Open. Now you can import your profiles by clicking All and OK, or choose the profiles to import by placing checkmarks.
