Can I sync a single calendar to two separate mobile me accounts

My wife and I have separate dot mac accounts and separate mobil me accounts. We each keep separate work and personal contacts and calendars on our computers and they sync to our separate I phones. We would like to have a single family calendar that will sync automatically through mobil me for entries made by either of us to the others phone, downlinking to our separate computers.
Is this possible?

Please read this entire post before doing anything, so that you can understand what you need to do.
My wife and I have the same scenario and I have a work around. Here is what we have:
She has an iPhone 3g and a Mac Book. I have an IPhone 3Gs and a Mac Book Pro. I have my Mobile Me account, and she has her own Mobile Me account.
Before you do anything, go to each of your computers and backup both your address books and calenders.
Here is how I have ours sync:
1) The 2 laptops are both setup under Mobile Me in the System Preferences under my Mobile Me account. In here, I have both laptops setup to sync the address book(s) and the calender(s) but nothing else.
2) On your computer, import your wifes backed up address book and calenders into your iCal and Address Book on your computer. Make sure that your wifes calender had a different name than yours in the iCal program. I mean make sure that your calender and hers was not both labeled something like "Home". My wifes is labeled "Her Personal" and my calender is labeled "His Personal". You can do the same thing for the Hers and your address books, by putting them in different categories before you back them up and import them.
3) After these are setup on your computer, then (a) go to System Preferences, and then (b) go to Mobile Me. In Mobile Me (c) click on the "Sync" tab. (d) Click on Advanced at the lower right hand corner of the window. Then (e) click on the Resync Data button. In the next window (f) click on the RIGHT arrow and the click replace. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) to your Mobile Me cloud.
4) On your wifes computer repeat Step 3. Except, in step (f) click on the LEFT arrow. This will send all of the iCal calender(s) and the Address Book(s) from you Mobile Me cloud to your wifes computer. You are now half way done.
5) On your iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on your Mobile Me account. Here you will need to turn on Mail Contacts and Calenders.
It will be setup a little different on your wifes iPhone however.
6) On your wifes iPhone go to Settings. Then go to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on her Mobile Me account. Here you need to make sure that only Mail is on. Make sure that Calenders and Contacts is turned off.
7) Go back to Mail, Contacts, Calenders on your wifes iPhone. Click on Add Account. Here you will need to add YOUR Mobile Me account information.
8) After you have entered you Mobile Me account information on her phone, go back into Settings and then to Mail, Contacts, Calenders and click on you Mobile Me account again. Under your account on her phone, turn off Mail, but turn on Contacts and Calenders.
9) Open both the Calenders apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
10) Open both the Contacts apps on the 2 iPhones and allow them to update.
You should now be able to keep your contacts and address books in sync on both computers and iPhones, but still be able to keep you individual e-mail accounts in sync on the seperate computers and iPhones. Please let me know if you have any questions.

  • Why is everything so difficult since 'upgrading' to Maverick. I can't sync my Outlook calendar (default) with iCal or my iPad.

    Why is everything so difficult since 'upgrading' to Maverick. I can't sync my Outlook calendar (default) with iCal or my iPad.
    Also, I can't send pictures via Dropbox any more. Two basic necessities that I just can't get to work.

    Microsoft didn't update Outlook to be Mavericks ready.
    I don't really use Dropbox, but if their software doesn't work like it used to, they didn't update it for Mavericks.

  • Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only 1 calendar to sync?

    Multiple calendars have appeared on my Iphone and I am unable to sync all of them to my PC, running Windows 7 and Office 2010. How can I sync all the calendars to my PC, or, alternatively, merge the calendars on the Iphone so there is only one calendar to sync?

    If the hard drive that crashed is the one that stored the itunes library, be sure to restore the library from Time Machine (mac) or whatever backup you use on windows.  That will get back your music.  I suspect that the replacement drive has an empty itunes library and thus, perhaps, the itunes match used that to sync to its servers.
    Try posting in the iTunes Match forum, you'll probably find more knowledgeable folks there.

  • Can I sync my iCal calendar to my husband's Google Calendar?

    I have read many discussions about this here and on other forums, but can't find an answer that works for what I'm trying to do.
    I use iMac, iPhone and iPad and keep track of our family's many activities on 3 iCal calendars (so I can use the different colors to track what each kid is doing.) I would like my husband to be able to view and modify these calendars.  He is on an Android device, uses Google Mail and a PC.
    I can easily sync his Google calendar to my iCal using advice from this Google forum (http://support.google.com/calendar/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=151674).  I cannot figure out how he can sync my calendar to his Google calendar. 
    I have exported my iCal calendar and he has imported it into Google calendar just fine, but it is a static picture of the calendar when I export it so doesn't really help keep him up to date.
    I have shared the calendar per the link by Roger Wilmut1 (link: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#mm6b1a9479) on this  discussion: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/4599543?start=0&tstart=0.  However iCloud is requesting an iCloud account from him to "Join" the calendar in Google calendars.
    If he set up an iCloud account (how??  I don't know) could he then access my iCal and sync it into his Google calendar?
    I'm trying to figure out if I should just give up on iCal and switch to a Google calendar.  It is working so nicely right now with my iPhone and iPad I would love to just keep using iCal if possible.  Most of the advice I have seen describes how I can link to his Google calendar (done, but not what I want to do) or says I should move to Google Calendar and stop using iCal. 
    Would appreciate any solutions you might offer.

    I've been using iCloud since it's inception as "mac.com" or whatever it was called. I've been able to Sync Outlook Exchange Calenars to my iMac, iPhone and iPad. However, I cannot get iCal (when viewed in iCloud) to display Exchange or Google Calender items.
    It's odd, all other Mac versions of iCal are happy e.g. iMac, MacBook Air, iPad Air, iPhone etc. But nothing when I login to icloud.com and look at the iCal there.

  • Can I create a single PO for two company codes

    Hi
    Can I create a single PO for two company codes. Though I know that Company code is assigned at header level but still I know there is a setting in controlling which when activated two company codes under same controlling area can procure the goods under the same PO.But i forget from where to activate that message or control in config.
    Thanks

    Hi Lekhram,
    I'm just beginner so maybe I got the wrong end of the stick.
    If you order something that something must belong to a definite company > plant. How could possess two company the same thing at the same time (totally)?
    (companies are at the same organisational level - none of them is subject to the other).
    Maybe I'm mistaken.
    So I <b>guess</b> you can use only one company code for one PO.

  • How can I sync up the calendar from Microsoft Outlook email with my ipad 2?

    How can I sync up my calendar from Microsoft Outlook with my ipad 2? Or do I have to enter in all of the dates individually?

    When the iPad is connected to your computer's iTunes, then on the device's Info tab you should be able to select where to sycn a calendar from - from the iPad manual :
    You can sync calendars from applications such as iCal on a Mac, or from Microsoft Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 on a PC. (On a Mac, you can sync calendars with multiple applications. On a PC, you can sync calendars with only one application at a time.)

  • HT5824 iCloud and Windows 8.1:Outlook 365 can't sync my iCloud calendar

    I recently installed the windows 8.1 on my PC and now Outlook can't sync my iCloud calendar. The calendar works fine on my MacBook Pro and the iCloud app on my windows start page opens the iCloud calendar. It shows all appointments when I view the calendar in the ap but I use Outlook 365 for my business email and add appointments to the Outlook calendar. I see the iCloud calendar listed on the My Calendars panel, but now when I click on it I get the message: The set of folders cannot be opened. The information store could not be opened. It was working in the original Windows 8.

    Hello ronontheright,
    Do you mean that only the Exchange account in the desktop Mail app can’t sync?
    Please take a look at the following article.
    http://blogs.technet.com/b/exchange/archive/2012/11/26/supporting-windows-8-mail-in-your-organization.aspx
    Exchange ActiveSync can be used to sync data for email, contacts, and calendar. The Windows 8 Mail app supports Exchange ActiveSync.
    Please open the Windows Store app Calendar and People to check if they can normally sync.
    Please try to remove the account in Mail app and sign in again and check if the issue still exists.

  • Can't sync Outlook 2007 Calendar on iPhone 3G, iOS 4, iTunes 9.2, WindowsXP

    I did upgrade my iPhone 3G to iOS 4.0 and iTunes to 9.2. Now I can’t sync Outlook 2007 calendar. Contacts and notes are ok.
    I did try to sync on Windows XP SP3 and Vista SP2. I was unable to sync calendar on both computers.
    I had this problem before with iTunes 9x. I was able to fix it creating a new PST file and copying all folders to this new file.
    Now with iOS 4.x and iTunes 9.2 it doesn’t work. I did uninstall iTunes, clear the Windows registry, and delete all Apple folders. I also downloaded again iTunes and install it from zero. It didn’t work at all.
    I also uncheck, check, recheck the Advanced options in iTunes to delete, doesn’t synchronize calendars, and contacts on iPhone… nothing works.
    What else can I do to fix this pain? Any suggestion?
    Daniel

    Same problem here. Just bought an iPhone 3GS, downloaded iTunes 9.2 and it crashes my Outlook 2007. Outlook simply stops responding, and I have to kill it. Won't even start in Safe Mode. I have to restart the computer to revive it. Next time I start iTunes -- CRASH!
    I bought the iPhone because I wanted to sych my emails, calendars and notes. Do I have to return the iPhone now?
