You can try to add the untested snippet below to your .emacs.

(defun synchronize-windows ()
  (save-selected-window
    (condition-case nil
        (let ((pos (window-point))
              (sel (selected-window))
              (buf (window-buffer (selected-window))))
          (dolist (frame (frame-list))
            (dolist (window (window-list frame))
              (when (and (eq (window-buffer window) buf)
                         (not (eq window sel))
                         (/= (window-point window) pos))
