Can you still sync calendars and contacts using I tunes if using I cloud

Question

My wife and I use a common user account and do not want to share our contacts or certain calendars.  Can we continue to sync these using I Tunes and Icloud  and do not allow calendars and contacts to move up to icloud.  My contacts are not syncing with my I phone now when I conect my computer using I tunes.  This is a problem.

Answer 1

I suggest extreme caution and a long discussion with Apple before doing anything. No one at Apple warned me that Apple automatically syncs with Outlook 2007 via iCloud (I do NOT use MS Exchange Server). I synchronized once using the cable between my iPhone 4S and my pc running Windows 7. Both Contacts and Calendars have relocated within Outlook and calendars does not sync properly, neither with nor without iCloud on of off. 1-800-APL-CARE has said this is an Outlook problem and absolved themselves of further assistance.
I rely on calendar and contact syncing for my business and both files are currently totally messed up with many duplicates, and some missing items, plus sync does not work consistently and most often gives error messages which Apple cannot locate or help fix.
I tell you all this to emphasize the importance of NOT trying anything yourself until Apple gives you all the facts and guides you through the maze. Techs in the Apple Store set up all my initial connections and I had not altered them unless told to do so by Apple. It may be to late to rescue me and my business, but not too late for you.
