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.

    Is it possible to sync calendars between two different users?

    Hi
    Installing the drive into the older machine may work, you WILL get a lot of driver errors and the unit may even fail to boot. The other problem is that the drives may not be compatable, the drive in the broken PC is a SATA drive, older PCs had IDE drives with very different connectors.
    Your best option is to do as you suggest and obtain a USB caddy and extract the data that way.
    Make sure that the caddy you get will support SATA drives (all new ones will).

  • 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).

  • Can't sync calendars on two Macs since iOS4

    I just upgraded my Touch (2G) to iOS4, and things are basically okay except for Calendar Syncing.
    I've got a home computer as my source for all media plus Contacts and Calendar. I've got a work Mac that I just sync Contacts and Calendars. I'm using manual syncing. This has been working fine, until today. Now, my home computer will not update to include the work computer stuff, and in fact, it lost the work events it had on it previously. I've synched between the two machines multiple times, but it doesn't "take" on the home computer. In fact, it appears that syncing with the home computer takes the work events OFF of the Touch until I resync with work.
    And yes, I choose "Merge Data" for all syncs.
    Both computers have the same calendars.

    I am seeing the same issues. I have a G5 Power Mac and MacBook Pro and a iPod touch that I am syncing between the two computers. I have not tried doing this before IOS 4.0 as I just got the iTouch.
    Anyone know if it is possible to sync a calendar between one Mac and the iPod Touch and then have the iPod Touch sync the calendar on the second Mac. I did this between these two Macs using my Palm Centro (using palm desk top on each Mac) AND a Dell PC at work. All three computers had the same calendar info and making a change on the Palm would change the data on all three computers.

  • Sync contacts between two macs

    I would like to use iCloud to sync my Contacts between two Macs.How do I get the Contacts "On My Mac" to do this?
    Thanks,
    Frank

    Thanks. You said: "When you setup iCloud the On my Mac contacts should've been moved to iCloud I think (can't remember what happened in my case)."
    Actually that does not happen, or at least it didn't happen to me.

  • Sync iphone between two macs

    How do I sync my iphone between two macs. An imac at home and a macbook pro. I want them to work equally if possible
    thanks

    I want to be able to sync my iphone to both the imac and the macbook pro. Everything equally. Apps, music, photos etc.
    When I updated to ios, using the macbook pro, it wiped everything out. I had to go to my imac and do a restore from a previous version to get things back. I want both macs to be equal when I synch with them.
    Can I do this?
    thanks

  • Sync folders between two Macs

    Howdy,
    I want Mail on two of my Macs to be in sync. I have a lot of rules set up and once the rules are applied the mail is sorted in local folders so it disappears from the inbox. This of course causes it to no longer be available on the other Mac.
    Looking for an application that can sync files I select between two Macs whenever a change is detected on either of them, in this case my Mail folder and peferences. This can go directly or through an OS X server that's running 24/7. I don't want to move my folders to the mailserver but keep them local.
    Any suggestions?
    Thanks in advance.

    I've had a Macbook Pro for about a year and a half and love it so much that this Christmas I decided to buy myself a second Mac. I got a refurbished 24 inch iMac and just set it up last night. During the setup it occurred to me that there are certain folders on both computers (documents, pictures, audio, downloads, etc) that I would like to have available and synchronized between both computers. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd like to do this. Does this functionality exist in Snow Leopard?
    no. not unless you want to use a command line tool like rsync.
    If not, are there any 3rd party apps that will solve my problem?
    you can use Chronosync or ForkLift. also,you can sync not directly between computers but via a cloud. there are many services that do that. there is apple's own mobileme. another very popular one is DropBox.
    Thank you for reading.

  • How to transfer files between two Macs via Firewire cable?

    I heard you can transfer selected files between two Macs running Tiger. I'm not talking about setting up a new Mac w. files from an older one, if that's different? Can someone enlighten me on this or point me to a "how-to" link? Thanks.

  • 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?

  • 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.

  • Sync calendars between two phones

    Have two iphones4s, how can I setup/use iCloud to synch the calendars between these two phones?

    TThank you for the reply.  I don't plan to pay more to increase iCloud size as in principal I don't want to...in any event, this is weird.  I have plugged my wife into our iPad (we share it) as primary user. I linked my calendar to show on the iPad and I can now see her work schedule on my Apple calendar. She however cannot see MY calendar on her iPhone. Any thoughts?
    i Prefer to use my Sunset App calendar and I can sync it flawlessly with my google/gmail calendar. Sunset refuses to show my wife's calendar which now shows on my phone (I suppose perhaps that's a separate issue).
    Anyways...any idea on how to get my wife's phone to show MY calendars?

  • How to sync documents on two Macs?

    Hi,
    I have two Macs and want to sync the documents on a specific folder on both of them. In these folders I collect a lot of PDFs from the Internet.
    I want to periodically update the "superset" of the documents on a specific folder on both macs.

    OSX apps are not "synced", neither the ibooks, music or apps from iOS are. They are held available for you in iOS' appstore and Mac Appstore to re-download them later again. Apps,books,etc do not appear in your personal cloud at all. They are not part of your 5GB account.
    Music/Video purchases from iTunes in the cloud  are not available in every country.
    Question:  How can I sync my mac mini to the same iCloud account? Other than logging in with the same Apple ID. I am not sure what else I can do.
    using the same Apple-ID you use on your other iCloud devices, this is the way to sync. Nothing wrong there.
