How do i sync multiple devices (2 iphones, 2 iPads = all running iOS5) to one iMac (current Lion OS) and allow each to have separate calendars and contacts?

In my home we have 2 users with iphones and 2 users with iPad's.  We are updating everything to iOS5 and have the most current Lion OS running (10.7.2).  I have a MobileMe family pack so each has own e-mail account (@me.com), but only two are currently syncing calendars/contacts with MobileMe.
We want each device to sync with one iMac and to share all iTunes content (music, movies, TV shows), BUT have each sync individual calendars, contacts, and e-mail.
Is this possible, and if so what are the steps to set up properly?
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I don't have a family pack, but I would imagine this would simply be a case of syncing the devices in iTunes as you normally would for media.
As for the iCloud (@Me) accounts, on each device open Settings > Mail, Con, Cal > Add Account > iCloud > enter each individual @me email address in the Apple ID field (Apple ID password also).
Sync what you wish from the options :-)
See Apple's FAQ's about the MobileMe transistion to iCloud

  • How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

    How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

    How have you managed to get apps on your phone that are tied to a different and unknown AppleID?
    If these apps were not purchased by you, having them is effectively software piracy and you should purchase them using your own AppleID if you want to keep hem.

  • How can I sync Multiple devices with I tunes

    Hi, I only have one Itunes account but I have an I phone, my wife has an old i phone and my daughter a new ipod touch.
    Is there anyway that I we can have our own music all on my i tunes library but when I sync any of teh 3 devices it would just upload their music. Hope that is clear but example...
    In i tunes I have Joy Division for me and JLS for my daughter but when i sync my daughters ipod it uploads all of the library?
    Any help much appreciated

    Welcome to Apple Discussions.
    I assume you already have all the music in iTunes and yiou all log into the same account?
    You could set up three playlists, one for each person and put each persons music into the relevant playlist. Then when each device is connected to iTunes tell it to only sync the relevant playlist, rather than syncing all music.

  • How do I sync multiple email accounts on ipad

    So I'm now, dubiously, the lucky owner of iPad mini with up to date software and iMac with latest software.
    It now seems apple have decided they don't want me to use more than one email account and so have stopped me being able to sync them ? Even for apple this is breathtaking in its arrogance and fascistic nature...
    Anyone any ideas?

    By synchronize, I suspect you mean that reading or deleting a message on one device will result it its being read or deleted on the other device. If so, this is only possible for IMAP accounts or exchange accounts. This is not an iPad limitation but a limitation in the email system protocols. iCloud mail is an IMAP system; so, iCloud email will synchronize automatically. There could be a slight delay in this, but it works.
    Many email systems (Comcast may be one of the more common) are POP accounts. Those won't sychronize at all regardless of device used.
    If by synchronize you mean that you can have the account on multiple devices and that's all; no problem regardless of the system. But, remember that you will download all your POP messages even if you have read and deleted them on another device. That can be a pain.

  • Help in custom syncing multiple devices

    How can I custom sync multiple devices - iPod touch, iPad, iPhone - with laptop?  I don't want all the same material on each device and in the past have either deleted items I wanted on a device when I synced or put all library stuff - music, tv, books - on all devices...neither is what I want.  Can you offer advice?

    When you connect one of them to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes under 'Devices', and you can then use the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your content to sync to the device i.e. which apps, music, tv shows, films etc. You can then repeat that for your other devices and iTunes should remember your selections for each device, so the next time you connect that device to it those selections should be populated on those tabs - I sync my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch to the same computer's iTunes and I have different content on each.

  • TS4147 Syncing contacts only through iCloud with Outlook 2007 and iPhone & iPad I have duplicate contacts only on the iPhone & iPad.  If I remove one of the duplicates the other one is also removed.  A solution would be appreciated.

    Please tell me how to elimante duplicate contacts on my iPhone & iPad.  I am syncing Outlook 2007 contacts through iCloud (NOT iTunes).  There are no duplicates in Outlook, nor in iCloud, but there are duplicates on the iPhone & iPad.  If I remove one of the duplicates the other duplicate disappears.  Thank you.

    Go to contacts on your phone/ipad, click groups, make sure that the only checked contacts are icloud. That shoud do.

    How can I sync multiple iPods to the same iTunes Library?

    The same way you sync just one. If y want different media on each iPod then only select the items you want synced to each iPod
    iTunes: Syncing media content to iOS devices and iPod       
    Try syncing using the manual method                
      Managing content manually on iPhone, iPad, and iPod
    Also, I would go to iTunes>Preferences>Devices and check the box that says prevent iPods... for syncing automatically so that you can more easily check what you want syned
