How do you sync calendar between 2 macs now that .me is gone?

Is there a way to do this anymore?

Do I have to select the box "Synchronize with MobileMe" and select "Automatically" to have this happening in the background all the time?
Yes.
Also I'm very confused about which direction the syncing goes. I synced the iMac to MobileMe and got MobileMe to take on the Contacts of the iMac. If I sync the MacBook to MobileMe I don't want MobileMe to take on the Contacts of the MacBook, but the other way around.
I suggest getting everything available in the "cloud" as you prefer to start with. With the sync function on your Mac, there is an advanced setting that can replace contact information on the "cloud" with what is available on the computer, or replace contact information on your computer with what is available on the "cloud".
After getting contact information on the "cloud" as you prefer, enable automatic syncing with both Macs and everything should work as expected or desired from that point forward.
When enabling push access for contacts with the iPhone, all contact information available on the iPhone is replaced with what is available on the "cloud" to start with, and any changes made to contact information on the iPhone afterwards is pushed to the "cloud", and any changes pushed to the "cloud" from either Mac or changes made to your address book via webmail access with MobileMe will be pushed to the iPhone.

How can I sync calendars between my mac, iphone and android phone

I use an iPhone as my primary phone, but do travel alot and need to have a secondary phone with a local SIM card when I travel. For this reason, I am considering buying an android phone. One of my major concerns though, is how would I be able to (if possible at all) sync calendars and contacts between all the devices. Today with iCloud I can get the iCloud syncing between my iMac, Macbook Pro, iPad and iPhone. When I introduce an android device, I am going to have to bring in Google calendars as well, so how do I get my iCal calendars to automatically sync to google calendars without having to creat duplicate calendars or without having to basically migrate to using only google calendars? Same goes for the contacts?

On your Mac and iPad, turn off iMessage.

How do you sync calendars from your mac to your iphone

I am having a problem getting my calendar on my macbook pro to sync with the calendar on my iphone 6. I have icloud turned on for calendars on my phone but when I sync the items I have entered on my macbook pro are not uploaded to my iphone 6. I do most all my inputting on my macbook as it is easier to see the dates and my schedules than on the iphone. I have tried sync'ing both over wi fi and cellular but nothing is happening. At some point the calendars did sync as I do have stuff on my iphone which is on my macbook but I am not able to sync anything now.
thanks for your help

Howdy sheribe,
As I understand it, you have iCloud setup to sync Calendar data on your iPhone and your MacBook Pro but it doesn't seem to get across to the phone on either device either using Wi-Fi or cellular data. I would check www.icloud.com to see if the calendar data is there that you entered on your Mac. If it is, use the iOS troubleshooting section of the following article. If it is not, then use the Mac section instead:

How do you sync calendars between iPad and MacBook Pro running Maverick

I had no problem syncing my iPad with my MacBook Pro before upgrading to Maverick. Now I just keep going round in circles. It's such a basic requirement to be able to sync calendars, but just so problematic.

Use iCloud.

How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro without iCloud?

How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5 without using iCloud?

I do NOT trust iCloud because it duplicated by contact book 4 to 5 times and blew up my records.
Lately I realized that my Contact Book contacts are not updated and having lesser records, and did a check. There are a lot of missing contacts, despite Synching.
I sync iPhone 5s (and iPhone 5) to Mac Contacts and I do NOT use CLOUD. Now it seems that it forces me to use CLOUD.
I don't want to use CLOUD because of the BAD experience.
I just realized that I cannot sync my iPhone 5s (&5) Contacts with Mac Contacts anymore, there is no even a button for Contacts on iTunes.
This is RIDICULOUS... Screw around someone, this company is doomed.

How to sync calendars between two Macs without Mobile Me?

Is there a way to sync calendars between my wife's Mac and my Mac without Mobile Me? They are in the same house and I don't see the need to go thousands of miles and over the Internet for that purpose. Thanks.

Yes, you pretty much just drag and drop or copy and paste depending on which way you like better. It is pretty much like connecting an external hard drive. Just find the files you want and copy them over to your other computer.
This is one of my favorite features from Macs. It's very simple to do and because it's Firewire even large files transfer over very quickly.

How do I sync calendars between two iPods

End goal: I want to sync calendars between my iPod touch & my spouse's.
I was told I needed to set up iCloud, but (after a LONG time of figuring out that my 2nd gen can't support iOS6) it seems like that can't happen. Is there another way to sync calendars? I can already (sort-of) sync with the outlook calendar on my desktop PC.
Thanks in advance for any help!

You only need iOS 5 or higher to use iCloud, but that won't help since the 2nd gen iPod Touch can't be updated beyond iOS 4.2.1. Your other options for sharing your calendar are to sync both devices with Outlook on the same computer (as you are doing), or use a different cloud option such as Google (where you could set up a gmail account as an exchange account on both devices as shown here: http://support.google.com/mail/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740, and enable calendar syncing).

How do I sync calendars between Mac (OS10.6.8) and iPad (iOS7.1)? using iTunes (v 11.1.15).

I have an iMac (model 8.1, OS X v 10.6.8) and an iPad 2 (iOS 7.1). The calendars no longer sych via iTunes but did about 6 months ago. I think that may have been when I updated the iPad OS. None of the instructions I've seen on-line seem to help. When I attach the iPad to the iMac via a USB cable I get the following message in iTunes - > Info - >Sych Calendars, "Your calendara are being synced with your iPad over the air from iCloud. Over the air settings can be changed on your iPad." I do not have an iCloud account. According to the Apple Support website, "To use iCloud, you must have at least iOS 5 on iPhone 3GS, iPod touch (3rd generation), iPad, or iPad mini; or at least OS X Lion v10.7.5 on a Mac." I'm not sure my iMac can support that OS due to its age. Besides, I used to be able to sync the calendars so why bother with iCloud? It just seems like one more step.
Also, I've never been able to sych the mail content between the two machines. The message below the iTunes->iPad->Info ->Sync Mail Accounts says, "Syncing Mail Accounts syncs your account settings, but not your messages...." Any instructions on how to sync the messages would be appreciated too.
It's frustrating to have these syncing challenges. I had a Palm Pilot at work about 15 years ago and and it synced with the PC any time I put it into the docking cradle. Same thing with a work-issued Blackberry about 10 years ago. I'm disappointed that the Apple systems seems to be so convoluted and un-user friendly. Syncing calendars worked when I orginally got the iPad about two years ago but now doesn't seem to sych. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

Hi crispinfromab,
If you are having issues syncing your calendars via USB, you may find the following articles helpful. If you do not have an iCloud account or don't intend to use it for syncing, you may also want to make sure that iCloud syncing is turned off on your phone (under Settings > iCloud).

2 different Centro users-How do you sync calendar info between the 2 phones? How do you sync 2 centro phones to one computer?

My husband and I have 2 centro (AT&T) phones. We would like to share our calendar information with each other. He has the Palm Desktop program downloaded on his work computer. He is using the Outlook calendar at work. We would also like to download the Palm program downloaded on our home computer. But we weren't sure if 2 different users can access it, etc. How do we do it correctly? Do we have to use one username for both Palm Desktop? Does the computer recognize the 2 phones? How do we transfer information between the 2 phones? We do not have a data plan. We would like to use the USB cable to avoid data charges. Also, if his centro takes calendar/contacts from Outlook at work, do we have to do the same at home? Can the Centro sync with both Palm Desktop calendar and Outlook calendar at the same time?
Thanks very much.
Post relates to: Centro (AT&T)

Yes he can sync it with palm desktop at home. But if you want to share calendar and use different usernames, then you cannot do it with palm desktop but you can if you use outlook.

HT202297 How can I sync calendar on my mac book with iPhone and iPad mini?

How can I sync all calendars, like mac book, iPhone, and iPad ?

This article explains how to set up iCloud on your iOS devices and your Mac: http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/. You will have to be running OS X Lion (10.7.2) or higher on your Mac and iOS 5 or higher on your iOS devices in order to do this.

How do i sync note between my mac, ipad to my android device

Hello everybody! I have a question about syncing notes. I have new ipad, macbook pro and an android device and i really want to sync notes between them. Icloud sync and gmail sync work perfect on my 2 apple devices but it doesn't get on my htc, (i use gnote on htc, a application that synce with gmail). When i go to gmail.com to check my account, i saw all notes are there but it just doesn't get on my htc. So is there any resolution for this? Thank you !

Julian why do you need to so unbelievably rude about it. Clearly he is just looking for help, and he understands that there is an issue with the google, and HTC, and as well as with his Apple products. The fact is, he is using his APPLE MAC to create the note, so naturally he would come to an Apple forum to look for a solution, not to have someone with a god complex tell him to go somewhere else. Get over your ego and maybe you can actually try to help him, and if not, then keep your remarks to yourself. You wasted more time continuosly trying to tell him to go elsewhere when you probably could have spent half the time actually trying to help him. Oh, and please do not bother responding to this trying to come up with any sort of excuse or telling me how I'm wrong or ignorant, because I truly do not care what you have to say. Take care.
ngongja, I know it's been a year since you posted, but for anyone else that is having the same issues, there is an app you can get from the Google Play store called iNotes which syncs your Mac and iOS notes with your Android device.
Hope that helps!

How do I sync calendars between my iMac and iPhone?

I have tried to follow these Apple instructions but cannot find the Info or Contacts tab spoken about in point 2. Can anybody help?
Open iTunes, then connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.Open iTunes
Select your device, click the Info (or Contacts) tab, then select Sync Calendars.
Select whether you want to sync all your calendars or only the calendars you select.
Select any other options, then click Apply.Your calendar information is updated each time you connect your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to your Mac.

Thank you Wjosten,
Yes I'm using Mavericks but I am reluctant to use icloud because its just another bill to pay every month and I think its unfair of Apple to take this facility away from me just because I can't afford to icloud.
However, thank you for sending me this message.

How do you sync files between computers

I want to sync files between Macbook Pro (2011) and IMac. File structure for Pictures needs to be Identical, not sure what is best method. Do not want to try until I have a good plan.
Ashleyriverman

Hello AshleyRiverman,
It sounds like you have a directory of folders that contain photos in a specific organization that you want to copy to another computer. You can enable File Sharing to be able to access the photos from one computer on another, and even allow the viewing computer to be able to add photos or delete them, thereby keeping them the same across both computers. This article will help you get that set up and configure the permissions for it:
