How can I sync calendars between my mac, iphone and android phone

I use an iPhone as my primary phone, but do travel alot and need to have a secondary phone with a local SIM card when I travel. For this reason, I am considering buying an android phone. One of my major concerns though, is how would I be able to (if possible at all) sync calendars and contacts between all the devices. Today with iCloud I can get the iCloud syncing between my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. When I introduce an android device, I am going to have to bring in Google calendars as well, so how do I get my iCal calendars to automatically sync to google calendars without having to creat duplicate calendars or without having to basically migrate to using only google calendars? Same goes for the contacts?

On your Mac and iPad, turn off iMessage.

  • Sync iTunes between 2 macs, iPhone and iPad

    Hi,
    I had 1 macbook, iPhone and iPad. I had synched my iTunes with all these devices. Recently i bought one more mac book and i would like to synch my iTunes with the new macbook. When i connect my iPhone or iPad to the new macbook my iTunes are not getting synched.
    I had the home sharing option turned on and now I am able to view the iTunes library in my new macbook only when i have the iTunes turned on in my old macbook. If i close the iTunes in my old macbook, iTunes in the new macbook is not able to access the songs.
    Without having my old macbook turned on, is there a way that i can synch my iTunes with the new macbook.
    Basically i would like to keep my iTunes synched between 2 macs, iPhone and iPad.
    Old Macbook Pro - 13 inch - OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10
    iPhone - 5S - iOS 8.1
    iPad Air Mini - Version 8.1
    Old Macbook Pro - 15 inch - OS X Yosemite - Version 10.10
    Thanks

    I've done this manually. Someone may have an AppleScript, who knows?
    Turn on File Sharing on both computers (really only needed on the machine with the songs). I presume you have a network connecting the two computers, AirPort?
    From Finder on the MPB, select Network (make sure "Connected Servers" is selected in Finder Preference / General). Attach to the source computer's HD so you can see the folder containing the iTunes music.
    Launch iTunes on your MPB.
    Make sure "Preferences / Advanced / Keep iTunes Music Folder Organized" is CHECKED.
    Select "Add to Library" in iTunes on the MPB, navigate to the mounted folder from the source, and select the albums or songs you want to bring over. I do a sort on "time" to find the newer additions to my iTunes Library.
    You can multi-select, etc. using the usual Apple conventions.
    iTunes will crank a while, and copy the files from your server to your MPB.
    Good luck!

  • HT202297 How can I sync calendar on my mac book with iPhone and iPad mini?

    How can I sync all calendars, like mac book, iPhone, and iPad ?

    Set up the same iCloud account on all of your devices, then turn calendar syncing to On.  This article explains how to set up iCloud on your iOS devices and your Mac: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/.  You will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher on your Mac and iOS 5 or higher on your iOS devices in order to do this.

  • How do you sync calendar between 2 macs now that .me is gone?

    Is there a way to do this anymore?

    Do I have to select the box "Synchronize with MobileMe" and select "Automatically" to have this happening in the background all the time?
    Yes.
    Also I'm very confused about which direction the syncing goes. I synced the iMac to MobileMe and got MobileMe to take on the Contacts of the iMac. If I sync the MacBook to MobileMe I don't want MobileMe to take on the Contacts of the MacBook, but the other way around.
    I suggest getting everything available in the "cloud" as you prefer to start with. With the sync function on your Mac, there is an advanced setting that can replace contact information on the "cloud" with what is available on the computer, or replace contact information on your computer with what is available on the "cloud".
    After getting contact information on the "cloud" as you prefer, enable automatic syncing with both Macs and everything should work as expected or desired from that point forward.
    When enabling push access for contacts with the iPhone, all contact information available on the iPhone is replaced with what is available on the "cloud" to start with, and any changes made to contact information on the iPhone afterwards is pushed to the "cloud", and any changes pushed to the "cloud" from either Mac or changes made to your address book via webmail access with MobileMe will be pushed to the iPhone.

  • Syncing calendars between Macbook Pro, iPhone and iPad

    Having trouble with this.  The calendars were  working fine but now they're  not.  I have three calendars - one on iCloud that I use for personal stuff, the others on two exchange accounts that I use for work emails etc.
    The Macbook Pro is brand new (yesterday) but copied all setting from previous computer which is also having problems as of this week so it's not the new gadget that's the problem.  The iPhone and iPad have always synced fine until this week.
    Now if I put an appointment into calendar on one device, it sometimes shows up on one or both of the other devices - but not always.  This is scary as I am getting double booked and forgetting to go to things so I am desperate!  I considered deleting the accounts and reinstalling them but they might lose the data so this seems very risky.  Any advice gratefully received - thanks in advance...

  • How can i sync email deletions on my iPhone and iMac, and vice versa?

    My email provider is Sky in the UK. While i am able to receive the same emails on both devices (imac and iphone) simultaneously, if I delete one on the iphone, it is not deleted on the iMac, and vice versa. I don't want to have to delete emails twice, once on each machine, but rather only once on one machine (and then that email would automatically disappear from the inbox of the other machine).
    Is this possible? My sky account is IMAP on the Iphone, but POP on the IMAC. I tried changing it to IMAP on the iMac, but then i couldn't received email messages in MAIL on the iMac so reverted it back to a POP account.
    Any advice appreciated. Spent way too many hours today trying to figure this out.
    Thanks,
    Joe

    if it were imap on both, you'd be able to delete an email from one device and it would remove it from the other. they can't have different protocols and still sync with each other

  • How do you sync calendars from your mac to your iphone

    I am having a problem getting my calendar on my macbook pro to sync with the calendar on my iphone 6. I have icloud turned on for calendars on my phone but when I sync the items I have entered on my macbook pro are not uploaded to my iphone 6. I do most all my inputting on my macbook as it is easier to see the dates and my schedules than on the iphone. I have tried sync'ing both over wi fi and cellular but nothing is happening. At some point the calendars did sync as I do have stuff on my iphone which is on my macbook but I am not able to sync anything now.
    thanks for your help
    Sheri

    Howdy sheribe,
    As I understand it, you have iCloud setup to sync Calendar data on your iPhone and your MacBook Pro but it doesn't seem to get across to the phone on either device either using Wi-Fi or cellular data. I would check www.icloud.com to see if the calendar data is there that you entered on your Mac. If it is, use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article. If it is not, then use the Mac section instead:
    Get help using iCloud Calendar
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
    All the best,
    Sterling
