Can I sync two macs with iCloud?

Just thinking about icloud and at the moment this is the only reason I could think about using it.

Yes you can but they both must be running Lion v10.7.2 at the minimum and requires a Wi-Fi network.

  • How can I sync two iPhones with iCloud on my mac?

    My husband and I both have an iPhone and one macbook between us. How can I get iCloud to transfer photos/info from both our iPhones to our mac withough having to change login details all the time (defeating the purpose of iCloud if I need to log onto the computer to transfer my photos)?

    Please link to an example of a page you're having problems with. It should be accessible without a login.

  • Can u sync a blackberry with icloud?

    Can u sync a blackberry with icloud?

    Hi there, I have a solution for this.  I have upgraded my macs, iPads and iPhones to iCloud, but I am getting so confused with the direction apple are going in, and the power they are now wielding, that I have bought a blackberry.  I still wanted to keep my email, contacts and calendars in iCloud so my wife could continue to use the iPad and her iPhone, but needed to sync the contacts and calendars to my blackberry and vice versa.  Took me a while, but got there in the end.  Firstly, install an app called syncml pro on you iCloud enabled iPhone or iPad.  That is the only app which will work for calendars and contacts.  Then, go to website myfunambol.com, and create an account.  Back in the syncml pro app, configure it using the settings from the following link https://help.forge.funambol.org/questions/answer2.html .  This will then allow you to automatically sync any changes on your iOS device to the myfunambol server.  Then, install the funambol app on your blackberry, any hey presto, you have 2 way sync!  The beauty is that because iCloud works across all iOS devices, even if you change or add a contact or event on an iOS device that doesn't have the syncml app, iCloud sends your changes to the iOS device that does have it on, syncml picks it up, automatically syncs to myfunambol server, and then when you sync your blackberry, it picks it up.  Works exactly the same way in reverse, ie a change on blackberry will change all your iOS devices.  When the funambol app for ios supports calendars as well as contacts, you can do the whole sync from funambol without syncml.

  • I can't sync Outlook 2010 with iCloud.

    I can't sync Outlook 2010 with iCloud. The iCloud Control Panel says to install Outlook even though I already have it. I am not given the option to to check the Mail, Contacts or Calendars boxes. How can I check the boxes so I can sync properly?...right now all my Calendar has duplicate items.

    I believe you have right - the Add-in is the problem. Right now, my Outlook 2010 do NOT have the iCloud add-in. You mention something about downloading it - where can I find it ??  I have tested to uninstall and install again, nothing changes my syncing with Outlook 2010 after the initial setup has been done with iCloud.....

  • Can't sync my iPhone with iCloud

    Hello,
    For some reason events that I add to my calendar on my iPhone aren't synced with the cloud.
    All setting ar ok and I have restarted my iPhone twice.
    Best,
    Y

    If the calendars are in the "On my iPhone" section and not in the "iCloud" section, then they are strictly local, they don't sync with icloud.  Only calendars listed under "iCloud" are synced.

  • Can you sync two macs to make them identicle

    If they are both running v10.7.2 or later, you can setup iCloud to backup and sync via Wi-Fi the following...
    Purchased music, TV shows, apps, and books
    Photos and video in the Camera Roll
    Device Settings
    App data
    Home screen and app organization

  • I can't sync address book with iCloud

    For a time my Address Book is not sync' with my icloud. I have tried to turn it off and on, but no improvement! Can somebody give a tip?

    If you are on a Mac running Mavericks, you have no other options right now. You will have to use iCloud or another cloud-based service.

  • Syncing two Macs with Server

    I have a 2012 Mini running Server, and a 2012 MBP. The Mini is my main machine, and I use the MBP when I'm outside the house or just sitting on the sofa.
    Anyway, I want the MBP to be a mirror of my Mini's user account. Mail is sorted by IMAP servers; I use iCloud for contacts, calendars, photos and iTunes.
    But that still leaves the documents. Ideally, I want REAL TIME syncing, like you get with DropBox. But just between the two machines when they are on the same LAN.
    Someone has suggested using mobile user accounts, but I'm not sure that's ideal. Am I right that it only syncs when logging out? In any case, the two user accounts are likely to be logged in simultaneously, which is asking for trouble.
    I'm surprised this isn't asked more often -- if it has been and my Google fu is lacking, please point me in the right direction. I've looked at other products but most don't offer real time.
    Thanks

    FWIW, I've not yet encountered a really good generic real-time documentation synchronization tool — they all have trade-offs.
    Having users logged in and active in parallel and the resulting necessity to resolve conflicts is not an easy problem, in the defense of the folks working on this.
    The Apple solution here is iCloud for the documents that supports.   I've previously tried using Apple's portable home directories mechanism (PHDs), and those do work but have their own requirements and some limitations — and the requirement to deal with the occasional synch bugs and synch conflicts.  
    Tools such as rsync and git can be common recommendations with trade-offs, and using those terms and searches for alternatives to DropBox will find you various other discussions. 
    OwnCloud will be another approach, but with a different approach and with different requirements and limitations. 
    Of all of these, I'll be next looking at OwnCloud.
