2 iPhones, 1 MobileMe account?

My wife and I each have a 1st Gen iPhone. We share one MobileMe account to easily keep the 2 iPhones synced with contacts and 4 calendars. My iPhone is working great, but her iPhone has a duplicate of each calendar. I have tried to disable mobileme on her iPhone and re-add it but still get the duplicate calendars.
I have searched the forums and have found nothing helpful as of yet. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Still love my iPhone!!

Probably, but that would result in much logging in and out as we both access the home computer many times in one day. Also, I find that Windows XP slows down a bit with multiple accounts. (Still haven't upgraded to Mac yet... It's coming!) I'll give it a shot when I get home and see if it works. Thank you.
Does anyone else have any experience with this setup?

  • IPhone MobileMe account push mail

    Hi,
    I'm having some trouble getting my push mail (.mac address) to work on the IPhone. I know that there have been certain issues with MobileMe and the whole push stuff... are these issues still going on?
    Also deleted mails on the IPhone don't get deleted on the cloud, but I've learnt from the forum that this is a known bug.
    Any help, please?

    You might get a better response if you ask in the dedicated *MobileMe on iPhone and iPod Touch > MobileMe Mail* forum, as that is where people who are using MobileMe are most likely to see posts relating to it.

  • Cannot send email on my iPhone from my MobileMe account...help?

    Every time I try to send a message in my MobileMe account on my iPhone 3G, this message pops up - "Cannot Send Mail - The connection to the outgoing server "smtp.me.com" failed. Additional Outgoing Mail Servers can be configured in Settings > Mail, Contacts and Calendars." I've checked the smtp to make sure it's correct, and I changed the Server Port to 587 as suggested by Apple. Is it something to do with the IMAP Path Prefix? This has been happening since I purchased my iPhone in February while it was running OS 2.0, and I have since upgraded to 3.0 and 3.0.1. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    When using the MobileMe account preset to create the account, the SMTP server is created with 587 as the SMTP server port, which can't be changed when using the MM account preset to create the account.

  • Failure sending email from MobileMe account on iPhone

    I cannot send emails from my mobileme account on my iPhone, the following error appears: connection to the outgoing mail server 'smtp.me.com' failed.
    I have my gmail account set up and this works fine, any ideas?
    Thanks

    One thing that might help out.
    Try a reset by holding down the home button and power button at the same time until you see an apple logo.
    If the reset does not work, one more thing to try.
    Remove the account from the iphone by going to settings > mail, contacts calendars > your MobileMe account.
    Scroll to the bottom and tap the delete account button.
    Reset the iphone by using the 2 buttons again.
    Now set the MobileMe account back up on the iphone.
    Hope this helps.

  • Two iPhones on same MobileMe account but one keeps turning a calendar on.

    Hello. I have two iPhones that I have connected to one MobileMe account. We do that so certain calendars, notes, etc will sync. I have a certain set of calendars turned on on one of them and a different set on the other. I made a new calendar for bills and one for other reminders that we both don't need. Turned them on on one and off on the other. On the one which they are turned off, one of them keeps turning back on after it is switched off. I have not been able to determine how long it takes but it eventually does turn on because the next time the reminders are supposed to come up it is definitely on there. Any idea why this might be?

    But could I at least use the Find My Iphone app on the second Iphone if I just leave all the other Icloud options off?  If I activate Find My Iphone on the second phone, will it just show two Iphones in the menu when I search for the Iphone on my Mac, or do I need to set up a second Icloud account for the second phone?
    That will work just fine.

  • If I delete an email on my iPhone, how do I sync it where it will automatically delete on my macbook and iPad.  By the way, I have no idea how to change my email (which was a mobileme account before it became iCloud) to an IMAP format, so be specific!

    How do I set up my macbook pro where it mail that I delete off my iphone will be automatically deleted off my macbook pro and ipad?  Be specific; I have no idea how to set up mail in IMAP.  This is a mobileme account I've had since 2007 and is now set up with icloud, but for over a year now, no syncing (deleting) mail i've deleted off my phone.

    Try this to change the deleted folder on the ipad to the same as on your mac

    The steps are pretty much the same as the gmail account used in the instructions, you may also be able to refresh the email folder list on the mac

  • IPhone Calendar Entries No Longer Sync With iCal or MobileMe Account

    I've been experiencing this for a few months now, and was hoping someone might have some ideas on how to fix this issue I am having.
    Every time I enter a new entry onto my Calendar from my iPhone... those entries do not show up on either my Desktop iCal or Mobile Me account online (this used to work). However... if I enter a new entry on either my desktop or Mobile Me account... those entries do show up on my iPhone.
    I do not sync my Contacts or Calendars using iTunes. That is turned off. I sync through MobileMe.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    On your iPhone, go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars.
    Select your MobileMe account.
    Turn Calendars off for over the air syncing. A warning message will be provided indicating your MobileMe online calendars and calendar events will be deleted from your iPhone with an option to keep the calendars on your iPhone or delete from your iPhone. Select Delete from My iPhone.
    Follow this by turning Calendars back on for over the air syncing.
    Enter a new calendar event on your iPhone to test if the new calendar event shows up with your MobileMe online calendar and with iCal on your Mac.

  • We bought 2 iPhone.  4s cant get mail on my husbands phone it says not a MobileMe account  this account already been migrated to iCloud  we have desk top and can't get mail also we have all the apple  products

    Can't get the email on my husbands iPhone we bought 2 phones I am able to get mail on my I phone and IPad can't get it on it ouch desk top and husbands iPhone

    If you migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud, on your phone you should be able go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Add Account>iCloud and enter the Apple ID associated with your iCloud account.  On your desktop computer, you can configure your email client to get your @me.com email by following this guide: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

  • Why can't I push emails to 2 different MobileMe accounts on the iPhone?

    Makes no sense since I can set up a Yahoo! Mail account as push alongside a single MobileMe account with push mail as well.
    Every time I set it up, the second account only gives me an option for Fetch or Manual.

    I have the same problem. Here's my setup:
    1) I have my own MobileMe account that I use for Mail, Contacts and Calendar syncing on my iPhone and Mac
    2) My wife uses my MobileMe account for Contacts and Calendars so we use the same calendars and contacts. We just signed her up for her own MobileMe (trial) account to use just for her own PUSH email.
    On her iPhone calendars and contacts sync perfectly via push. When I added her own MobileMe account to use for mail it only gives her the option for either FETCH or MANUAL! This makes no sense whatsoever. I figured it might have something to do with having my MobileMe account associated with her iPhone as well, so I deleted that association but still no options but FETCH or MANUAL for her mail. Prior to getting her own MobileMe account, I her her set up with YahooMail for push email and she was given the option for PUSH.
    All of this makes no sense and is highly frustrating! I wonder if there is a reason and a fix? Anyone?

  • Syncing 2 iphones with Mobileme account and family pack account

    I can't seem to get this answered.. I have a .mac (mobileme) account and I just upgraded the account to the family plan which give me 4 additional accounts. I am trying to sync the second email account up with my ical and contacts and I can't figure out how to accomplish this. The ical and contacts are under my email and not the family pack email. I would like to know how you share ical and contacts with multiple iphones..........

    Probably, but that would result in much logging in and out as we both access the home computer many times in one day. Also, I find that Windows XP slows down a bit with multiple accounts. (Still haven't upgraded to Mac yet... It's coming!) I'll give it a shot when I get home and see if it works. Thank you.

  • Is it possible to sync multiple mobileme accounts onto the iphone, syncing ical calendars for these multiple mobile me accounts ?

    I am trying to sync two mobileme accounts into my iphone and each account have different calendars ( all being with ical NOT CALDAV).
    Now, my question is can I sync these different calendars, belonging to different mobileme accounts, into the iphone? please assist me on this matter.
    Basically i want to have a work calendar  to share with my colleagues and a personal calendar to share just with my friends and family.

    You are correct.  This used to work in the past although admittedly I haven't tried it for some time as it was of no direct use for my purposes.
    If the goal is to see another MobileMe account's calendar(s) on your iOS device then an alternative would be to share the calendar(s) in question to yourself.
    Example:
    Assume you currently have MobileMe user account A on your iPhone.
    Login to MM user account B with me.com which has the calendar you wish to have access to on your iPhone
    Click on Calendars
    Click on the Share button for the calendar you wish to see added to your iPhone.
    Type in the MobileMe email address for MM user account A and set it for read & write access
    Login to MM user account A on me.com
    Go to calendars and accept the invitation to join the calendar you sent from MM account B
    Go your iPhone (you may need to turn it on and off to make the calendars refresh ) and check your calendars, you should now have the other calendars added to your MobileMe account A's calendar
    Note: You can repeat step # 3 for each of the calendars you wish to see on your iPhone.

  • Can I run iCloud on my iPhone and older MobileMe account on my iMac?

    Can I run iCloud on my iPhone and older MobileMe account on my iMac?

    iPhone - should be all right. Mac with 10.6.8 - no - 10.7.2 is required for iCloud. If you migrate from MobileMe but don't have 10.7.2 you will lose access to email, and calendar, contacts and bookmarks syncing: Keychain and other data syncing will stop. You will be able to access email, calendar and contacts on the iCloud website at http://icloud.com provided you have been able to complete the migration successfully. You will no longer be able to access these facilities on MobileMe after you have migrated, though the iDisk, Gallery and website hosting will continue until next June.
    You can access your email by entering the server settings manually into the Mail application or other email client. Some people have been able to set up calendar syncing by using the method detailed here - this is an unsupported hack and may not be reliable, and may stop working at some future point.

  • Two iPhones, One MobileMe Account?

    I think I know the answer to this, but I'd like verification before I plunk down the cash...
    I've had an iPhone for a while now, and I've been a .mac subscriber pretty much since that was launched.
    My wife just got her iPhone yesterday. She has her bookmarks, contacts, etc. I have mine. If she syncs to MobileMe via my account, the two separate data sets (bookmarks, contacts, and calendars) become merged, right?
    The only way to keep her data and my data separate is to upgrade to the family plan for MobileMe, right?
    Thanks,
    cnsayre

    Correct you need 2 MobileMe accounts, a family setup will be fine.

  • Can't access MobileMe account on iPhone

    Hi there,
    I can't find an answer to this question anywhere here or through a Google search. Does anyone know how to access one's MobileMe account on the iPhone? I've tried everything and all I get is a dialogue box telling me to set up a MobileMe account. I already have one. I can access it via Safari on my new MBP but not on the phone. I've nuked and paved the iPhone, re-installed the software, updated to the latest version and still can't access MobileMe. The iPhone's Mail app works fine, as does Safari, but MobileMe continues to be a Byzantine mystery and Apple's documentation is feeble and hopelessly inadequate. I wouldn't care so much if I wasn't paying big bucks for this service.
    I will soon be at sea with no Internet access for the next month, so maybe somebody will have figured something out by then.
    many thanks,
    Michael

    Thanks to those who responded to my questions so promptly. Admittedly, some confusion surrounds the syncing issues. For some reason, I thought I could access my Keychain on my iPhone since it is synced with MobileMe in my MobileMe preferences pane on my MBP. Clearly this isn't the case. I have a lot of information stored in Keychain Access in secure notes and I needed to look at one of them via the iPhone while I was on the road. My bookmarks sync. This is where I was led astray. I clicked on my MobileMe bookmark from Safari on the iPhone and that leads me to a page "Looking for me.com?"
    thanks again,
    Michael
