2 iPhones 1 MobileMe (MAC) acct

Just bought 2 3G iPhones, got mine sync'd - sort of. Trying to register wife's phone using same MobileMe account I used for my iPhone. Mid registration right now - I think this might not work since my first phone info auto-populated the webpage.
Objectives in order
1: share calender, would like to have separate colors for my events and wife's events
2: share all contacts
3: wife uses Yahoo mail acct, I will use MobileMe acct but i don't care if both phones get MobileMe email.

after just going for it, it appears the auto population stuff was from my MobileMe acct and not from my first phone. It let me change it.

How do I chat between users that are under one .mac/MobileMe family acct?

How do I chat between users that are under one .mac/MobileMe family acct? We are all under one account, but in different locations, using iChat 4.0.5 and OS 10.5.4. Thank you.

The only way is to create separate accounts under either AIM or Jabber (for example Googletalk). Then everybody logs into iChat with a different user and you can have full iChat functionality (except encryption which works only if you have different .mac accounts). If some members of your family have already a gmail/googlemail account then they can use this account information to log into iChat if you create a Jabber account with the gmail user information. Otherwise go to www.aim.com, request a screen name and use this user information to create an AIM account in iChat.
Have fun.

Sync: Outlook - iPhone - MobileMe - iCal

I want to know the best way to achieve syncing between my Outlook Calendar (which is a work one and Active Sync is not turned on), iPhone, MobileMe and my Mac iCal.
I am currently doing it but it is very painful and only one way!
So i have to set all of my calender appointments up in Outlook then that is synced to Google Calendar via Google Calendar Sync (one way and two way causes problems) then Google Calendar syncs via Spanning Sync with my iCal on my Mac, then my iCal syncs with MobileMe, and then MobileMe Syncs with my phone!
It is very convoluted and not ideal, but someone on another site posted this as a workaround and so far it is the only thing i have been able to get to work.
But ideally i don't need a Google Calendar (there are way to many Calendars! I just want to sync (two way) between Outlook (work) - Mac iCal (home) - MobileMe - iPhone.

The problem is on my ical the Outlook calendar is dropped from the list of calendar some how.
I do not know how to get it back on there . Yes I have sync service selected in outlook to my computer/ calendar .
I thinks it has so when the icloud calender got turned on some how and bumped my outlook calendar out.
It has been working flawless for over a year I did something with iCloud that started this mess.
None of that addresses my question,

Saving voice memos from iphone to mac

Hi all,
I've read a couple of threads re synching voice memos from my iphone to my mac. And i've followed the instructions (i.e. clicking the "include voice memos" under the synch music section in itunes). Trouble is when the synch runs and i go into itunes library to find the voice memos i cant find them. I've searched by typing in "voice memo" as well as manually searching through the entire library. The voice memos are still safely on my iphone, but not in my itunes library. Any clues?

You can transfer voice memos from iPhone to Mac by emailing:
Open the voice memo app and select the recording you want to transfer, then tap on the Share icon in the left corner under the Play button. Now you have the option to send it as a Mail.
Choose Mail then fill in the relevant details and hit send. This is fine for the occasional memo, but if you have several that you want to do at once - or have long recordings whose files sizes are not inbox friendly - then the best solution is to use iPhone Transfer for Mac.

Sorry for the delay...
I did what you've told me, new account and manually copied my files from Time Machine. I had lots of permissions problems, but at the end, almost everything is in order... It seems it had to be with some of the Apple Preferences, but I can't be sure, as most of them were dumped to the trash can.
I still don't have my Mail Rules back, unfortunately, although I did goggled some. It is a pity, as I had around 30 or 40 of them, getting my mail in order to each of its mailboxes, but it is a small price as the rest doesn't show the before syntoms.
Thanks for the help, anyway!!

Downloading of emails via webmail, iPhone and Mac Mail

I currently access emails from my ISP via three avenues. I use webmail when I'm in the office, iPhone on the go and Mac Mail at home. However, I will end up seeing the same emails three times. Even after deleting unwanted emails from my webmail, they will still appear in iPhone and Mac Mail when I access emails and vice versa. Has this anything to do with the POP or IMAP settings? I have set my ISP email on iPhone and Mac Mail under POP. I have ever tried to change the POP to IMAP with same results.
Any advice? Thanks.

I am having the same issue.

TS4185 i am using the same apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. now, only my iphone can receive and make facetime calls. why can't facetime calls in my mac get through?

i am using one apple id for facetime in my iphone and mac. my phone is able to receive and make calls while my mac is not able to do both. what is the problem.

thanks. your answer was correct, clearer. I have another question, maybe you can answer. I just purchase my ipad2 2 days ago. yesterday, there was a sound. today there is no sound. there is a sound only in movies and you tube and music. but no sound on all apps and keyboards. I look it up and seems like ther are few that have this problem. I called walmart coz I bought it there and they told me that they have not heard that before but if I can't fix it, just return it and exchange it with anew one since I have 14 days to do that. I tried rebooting it and still won't work. Should I just restore it?

I can't seem to update icloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar. Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...

Pardon my ignorance. I have scoured the forums and no one seem to touch on the exact subject I am talking about.
I can't seem to update iCloud's calendar via my iPhone's calendar with all connectivity turned on (sync,push,pull,slap whatsoever).
Also, iCal on Mac follows iCloud (sluggishly and not due to connection problem, so i'd nice to have a status bar telling me whether or not it's active and doing some updating) so when I sync iPhone to Mac it becomes a even more confusing situation...
Simplified version:
-Events created on the iphone doesnt get on icloud.
-When iphone is synced with ical on mac and changes are made on Mac, changes are not immediately reflected on iphone unless clicked "sync"
-I just want to view a live ical at all times without going to safari and opening up the web iCal. I want to view a 100% live iCal on the native iCal via iPhone. Like google docs! Is that too much to ask!?
Iphone seemed to have a "push" or "sync in this many minutes" option for iCal, but that seemed like it's only receiving changes, and not send out changes made via phone. Very confusing, very annoying!

Download iTunes using the tab at the top of this page. Then run the update with iTunes closed.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my phone to iOS 7.0, does that have an effect on my calendar, etc. It doesn't seem to be showing the same data it was before the update. Lost lot of info from calendar.

If my iphone, ipad, MAC and macbook pro are all linked, and then I upgrade only my ipone to IOS 7.0, does that have an effect on the linking to my other MAC products. It seems my calendar has lost a lot of information since the upgrade.

If you purchased Lion for your iMac, just log into the Mac App Store from your MacBook using the Apple ID under which you purchased Lion and go to the Purchases page. You will be able to download and install Lion there.
searching the internet i found a link to upgrtade to 10.7
The only place you get get Lion is from the Mac App Store. If you found some other site, that was an illegal copy and almost certainly tied to someone else's Apple ID and hence unusable by you. If the link was just to the Mac App Store, see above.
As to the problem with synchronization to iCloud, that's not a 10.6 question, so I'd suggest you take up that specific issue in either the Lion or iCloud forums, providing full details, and someone there can probably help you sort things out.
Regards.

How do I do that?

Howdy kingtonz,
If I understand you correctly, you want to limit to limit your use of the Messages application to non-iCloud sources such as text messaging through your phone carrier, is that right?
You can turn off the use of iMessages in Settings > Messages > iMessage. See this help article -
Messages settings - iPhone
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Best,

How can I use Imessage from Iphone to mac?

Hello
I am a new user for the awesome new feature Imessage
And I have a question: how can I send a message to an IPad or IPod or Mac or IPhone from IPhone and Mac?
Thanks

To send from the iPhone to the mac or Ipad you need an email address to send to, instead of a phone number.
on the iPad or mac you need to setup Messages. I do not have mesages on the mac and do not have an iPad but I have set it up on my iPod Touch and I assume it is similar.
Settings>Messages>
> iMessage > ON
> Send Read Reveipts > ON or OFF your choice
> Received At > [email protected]
Enter your valid email address in the "Received At" field.
As long as the email is valid it should work, and I assume you will need a different email for the iPad and Mac.

Upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

upon syncing my iPhone and mac all of my ical and iPhone calendar events have duplicated. how can i fix this and avoid it in the future?

Greetings,
Questions:
1. What version of the Mac OS are you running (Apple > About this Mac)?
2. What version of the iOS are you running (Settings > About)?
3. Do you backup your computer (http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1427)?
--- If you don't regularly backup your computer, now is the time to start.
4. Do you backup your iPhone (http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1766)?
Check the calendar list on the left hand side of iCal. Is it that the individual events are duplicated or is it just that you have the same calendar listed more than once? If its that you have more than 1 copy of each calendar, you can delete one of the duplicate calendars to eliminate the duplicates.
If you find that it is the individual events that are duplicated then there are 2 options:
1. Restore your computer iCal database or iPhone from a backup made before the duplication occurred.
2. Use a duplication removal program (or do it by hand) to remove the duplicates: http://www.nhoj.co.uk/icaldupedeleter/
If you have a backup made before the duplication occurred, reply back with what kind of backup you have and I'll suggest how to recover the calendars.
To avoid this issue in the future:
Keep regular backups. They are your best defense against data anomalies which are a fact of life in computers (although hopefully rare).
Keep your computer and iPhone software fully up to date (Apple > Software Update / Settings > General > Software Update).
Make sure the date and time on your computer and iPhone are correct before you sync the two devices.
Make sure the cable connections between the two is solid and that the cable shows no signs of physical damage.
Hope that information helps.

Problems transferring photos from iphone to mac, iphoto says there is nothing to download...

Hi, I need to transfer photos from iphone to mac. My mac can 'see' my iphone with iphoto open, but the box says there are no photos to download. Could anyone help me please? This has never been a problem before (it was fine about 2 weeks ago). I've tried turning both devices off and have spent a couple of hours trying to search for this problem on the internet. I can't remember when I updated to OS 7.1 but I guess that was recently; could this be the problem? Thank you so much.

This has nothing to do with iOS 7.1
Is your phone unlock when it is connected to your Mac?
