Exchange at work, outlook at home, can I merge the two via iPhone?

I just switched to the iPhone from the Windows Mobile based AT&T Tilt. With the Tilt I was able to sync with the exchange server via activesync (push), and then when I docked the Tilt with my home PC, the calendar and contacts data would merge with the calendar and contacts I had in Outlook on my home PC. A change on any one of the three (Work, Tilt, or Home) would be reflected globally. A change to a contact or calendar entry on my home PC, once synced with my Tilt, would be reflected on the Tilt and my work PC via the exchange server. If there was a conflict (an entry edited on both the work and home PCs prior to a sync at home), I would be prompted on which one I would like to keep.
With the iPhone, I can sync with Exchange no problem, and I can sync at home with no problem, however, the way it is designed, I end up with two different calendars and contact lists that I can view separately or all at once. What I want, is one global contact list and one global calendar, where a change made on one platform would be reflected on all three. I want to view my work appointments at home, and I want to view my personal appointments at work, and I want to be able to edit them on any of the three systems.
Does anyone have any suggestions, or have I just rambled so much I've left everyone in stunned, confused silence? I've looked into MobileMe, but that apparently does not work with Exchange. Thank you for your help!

Are you unable to access your Exchange account with Outlook on your PC at home?
Doing so would keep your Outlook contacts and calendar events on your PC at home synced with the Exchange server, the same with Outlook on your PC at work and over the air with your iPhone as you are doing now which would not require syncing your iPhone direct with Outlook on your PC at home via the iTunes sync process.
Prior to firmware update 3.0, it wasn't possible to sync direct with a supported application on your computer when syncing contacts and calendar events over the air with an Exchange account, or with a MobileMe account. Firmware update 3.0 added this capability, but syncing contacts and calendar events direct with a supported application on your computer at the same time will not be synced with the online contacts and calendar with an Exchange account or with a MobileMe account.

  • HT204150 After upgrading to Windows 8, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud" and "Contacts from iCloud".   How can I merge the two into one Contacts list.

    After upgrading to Windows, in my Outlook 2007 Contacts I now have "Contacts in iCloud"  plus "Contacts from iCloud".  How can I merge the two to avoid duplication.

    Hi Ingo 2711,
    Thank you for your suggestion.  I backup on itunes. I went to itunes, deleted syncing my contacts, then re-synced them. But the Facetime capability option continues to be there on most (not all, for some curious reason) of my contacts. I am not sure I posed my question correctly.  I want to be able to FT with my family, so don't want to delete the FT capability totally from my iphone and ipad. But I don't want all these other iphone calls from various contacts to ring on my ipad as FT calls.  I want a way to select with whom I have FT capabilities. Any further suggestions? Thanks much, trekpal

  • Somehow I have two apple accounts. Can I merge the two?

    I am not sure why but I have two apple accounts with two different email addresses.  This is causing problems with iMessages not syncing over my devices because the different email addresses cause messages to be sent to different devices so I miss messages.  Can I merge the two apple accounts, if so.  How?

    Please see item no. 5 of this article:

    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

  • I signed up for Apple ID and Apple Support Communities separately. Can I merge the two accounts?

    I signed up for an "Apple ID" and an "Apple Support Communities username" separately using the same e-mail address.  Is there any way to merge the two accounts?
    I signed up for "Apple Support Communities" several years ago to get help with Apple products. I then signed up for an "Apple ID" later on to buy stuff at the iTunes Store.
    I was trying to access "Apple Support Communities" using my Apple ID and I get prompted to choose a username. But when I type my current username, it says the username is already taken. Alternatively, if I try to choose a new username to go along with my Apple ID, I get a message saying that there is a username already assigned to my e-mail address.
    For some reason, "Apple Support Communities" is not intuitively syncing the two accounts together despite the fact that they are linked to the same e-mail address.
    I don't want to cancel either of these accounts since I have activities using one/the other that I do want to preserve.
    Can anyone help me merge these two accounts together?
    Thanks.

    I will do it for you.   I can't say they will take any action, they operate in their own way, but if they feel there may be a threat to your security they will normally take it seriously.   My guess is they would eMail their actions to you, though not to me of course.
    I hope this will help.
    Okay; I've now reported the thread.

  • My wife and I have separate itunes accounts, can I merge the two

    My wife and I have seperate accounts, is there a way I can merge the two or have them recongnized as being linked so she can use the itunes match account I set up.

    No, sorry, you cannot merge iTunes Store accounts. She can connect her devices to your iTunes Match account, but she'll have to use your Apple ID and password and, to the best of my knowledge, content she purchased via her own iTunes Store account will not be included, though I'm not certain about that.
    Regards.

  • I have the same itunes account on two different devices with different information.  how can I merge the two?

    I have an ipad which was synced with an old computer.   I have moved everything to the icloud from my new computer and iphone besides what is on the ipad.  The itunes account is the same, just different info on the two.  How do I merge them? 

    Hello there, Shininglight66.
    It sounds like you're asking how to get content on the iPad transferred down to your computer. The following Knowledge Base article should help out with that issue:

  • HT4847 I have two iCloud accounts, but purchased my extra storage on the account that I don't use. How can I merge the two accounts?

    Does anyone know how to combine two different iCloud accounts?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    Unfortunately it isn't possible to merge 2 Apple ID's. You would need to export the data from contacts, calendars etc and import it into the other account before logging out of the account that you do not wish to use.

  • HT204053 My wife currently has two different apple accounts as we changed our email address plus got a new computer. I believe that all of her info is under her old email address plus on the old computer. how can we merge the two accounts

    My wife currently has two different Itunes account as one is on the old computer with our old email address, Instead of changing the email address on the old account we created a new itunes account with her new gmail address. I just updated the new update for her iphone however I cannot get her contacts etc moved to the new phone as I believe they are all on her old account. It says I need as well to authorize this computer for the itunes store as well but in her account it says one computer authorized (old one) but cannot figure our how to get the new computer authorized as well.

    You should be able to authorise the account via the Store drop-down menu at the top of iTunes (if you are using iTunes 11 on a PC then control-B should get the menus to show)

  • HT4969 How come I do not have Reminders on my iCal? Why is it a seperate program and how can I merge the two, much like everyone else seems to be able to do?

    The title says it all. I want Reminders "To Do" program on my iCal. The seems like a common sense method of organization. Is it just my Mac that is jacked up or is this an update that divided the two programs?

    As of the latest ios version, Reminders are a separate entity, and you use the Reminders app to set reminders.

  • How can I merge my two Apple ID's?

    I recently activated an iCloud account after upgrading to an iphone5.  ICloud requires an Apple ID in the form of an email address.  My Apple ID was not an email address.  Let's say it was "JohnDoe".  So I logged onto my "JohnDoe" Apple account and tried to change the ID to my one and only email address, "[email protected]".  Well it seems that a number of years back I had already set up an Apple ID with that email address.  No problem, I used the "[email protected]" apple ID  to set up my iCloud account.  Here's the problem.  I had tons of songs, books, apps, etc. saved in a  wish list on my old "JohnDoe" apple ID.  I have a credit on it from itunes gift cards.  Plus, a few of my apple products are registered to that ID.  (My iphone5 is now registered to the "[email protected]" Apple ID.)  I want to have one Apple ID ([email protected]) with my wish list, all my products and everything linked to it.  Can I merge the two? 
    Thanks

    Given the way Apple insists on working with setting up new devices (i.e. the set-up processes have been encouraging duplicated Apple IDs) it is entirely reasonable to request the ability to merge Apple IDs for those of us who have supported the company for years and have bought a lot of devices, accessories, software, music, books etc from Apple Inc
    When do you think this reasonable request will be fulfilled?
    We are just fellow users here and as such have no idea if, much less when, Apple will ever allow merging of Apple IDs. You can comment to Apple on the issue via their feedback pages, if you wish:

    but I'm quite sure Apple is aware of the interest in such a feature.

  • I have apps from old work account that I can't remember the password to. On my personal phone those apps keep showing up but I can't update them because I can't remember the password. How can I delete them and download on my new account?

    Tap and hold an app until they all start jiggling and an X appears in the icon's top left corner. One by one tap the X to delete the app. when they are all gone you are free to buy them again with your own account.
