Hello,
I am currently using mac os x and I would like to know if windows live sync works with it or not. When I was using windows operating system, live sync did not had any trouble with it. But now I am trying to get live sync installed, it is just giving me an error. Please help me on this? Also, I was new to live sync, so if you can explain me some of the concepts it would be great. Thank you.
