Alasdair Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 I have a newish IMac running 10.12.6 beside a decade old iMac running 10.6.8 which I need for legacy business software. I bought Synergy last week v1.8.8 which runs on sierra but would not load on snow leopard, so on the old machine I loaded synergy 1.3.1 as client ... keyboard and mouse work fine with new iMac across both screens but no clipboard / file drag and drop, though both are checked in configuration. Where am I going wrong or are these versions not compatible Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 Can you try to set the older machine to be the server temporarily and check if it has the option to enable clipboard sharing under configure server interface? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted August 2, 2017 Author Share Posted August 2, 2017 OK , thanks for the reply ... tried to run in the opposite direction ... no go. Looked for the enable clipboard option under server config. but it appears not to exist in 1.3.1 ... presume this means clipboard sharing was a later introduction. Can you point me to a later version that might run on MacOS 10.6.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Suarez Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 You can maybe try v1.8.5 for MacOSx universal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted August 9, 2017 Author Share Posted August 9, 2017 This version, v1.8.5 will not open either in Snow Leopard ... report attached. Is there an earlier version to try, or could there be any workround? I am not very tecchie... thanks for your feedback Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alasdair Posted August 23, 2017 Author Share Posted August 23, 2017 Hello It seems that you do not have a download which I can use as client in MacOS 10.6.8 … which would enable me to sync the clipboard. I am still using Synergy 1.3.1 as client and mouse and keyboard are ok except for small glitches … sometimes I need to re type first character in a client field … modifier keys are mapped ok. You have offered me a refund but I am just about ok with what I have … much better than trying to use two keyboards and mice I copy and paste with dropbox when I need it … so no refund needed, thanks for the offer all the best Alasdair Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
