ICal combined use with two iPhone 4s units.

I am about to acquire two new iPhone 4s phones, one for me and another for the spouse. Would we be able to use the one calendar on our MacPro Book to update both phones or will we each need a separate calendar? Via the cloud of course.

If you use the same Apple ID, iCal data can be synced to both phones with iCloud. If you and your spouse want different Apple ID's, you will need seperate calendars.

Synching ONE MobileMe calendar with TWO iphones

I keep reading that it's possible to synch a MobileMe calendar with TWO iphones but cannot find out HOW to do so. I presume that SHARING a calendar is different from SYNCHRONISING a calendar. Sharing a calendar seems to me to be cumbersome in that it involves sending an invitation which then must be specifically dealt with by the recipient. SYNCHRONISING a calendar though presumably means updating a calendar entry automatically. It works with one iphone. How can it be made to work with two iphones? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Add the calendar on both phones as a MobileMe Calendar and use the same login information for both phones.
That's it.

ANything you add will appear on the other phone and visa versa
my OG iPhone won't sync with my MobileME calendar. Is that because the OG phone can't be updated to ios4?
And if that's the problem is there any alternative for syncing the OG iPhone's calendar (which is now empty)?

I have got a Activation Lock on my iPhone and I need to get it activated. I don't know what Apple ID I was using with my iPhone. It shows as U***@h******.uk which is too short to be my email address. I have reset all my Apple ID passwords and none are activating my iPhone. I have also been into the apple store and they have tried to find out the Apple ID my iPhone was using but this was not successful. The serial number of my iPhone is: C32JN641DTWF

You are going to need to change the email address you use with your old ID. Once you have got access to your old account you will then log into both accounts at the same time on your Mac and transfer your data to a single account. We can do this later, but need you to get access to your old account first.

This accessory is not optimal for use with this iphone keeps popping up on my phone how do i stop it?

Can be caused by lint, dirt, or foreign material in the dock connector port and it doesn't take much.
Can also be caused by damage to the pins in the dock connector port including moisture damage.

Can I use my same itunes that I use with my iphone and sync it to my ipad?

Can I use my same itunes that I use with my iphone and sync it to my ipad? That is, can I sync all my existing apps, etc that i use on my iphone to my ipad, without messing anything up?

Yes.
iPhone apps will not be able to use the full screen resolution, but most if not all will work.

ITunes is totally frozen with multiple paints of same screen within itself. Also incredibly slow. Are there alternative players I can use with my iPhone, or must I use iTunes with my iPhone? iTunes is effectively unusably slow.

I only use it once every few weeks and each time it is more disappointing than the previous time. does it run better on a Mac than Windows? Is this app really the future of media? Really?

I am using iTunes 11.1.3 -- The most recent version. When I select something from my albums it just freezes. I have restarted it a few times with same result.

Sync ical with two iphones

We have two iPhones. I have a long-time paid iCloud account that the whole family has used for years for iTunes purchases etc. Everything syncs fine between devices and my phone. Now that my wife has a phone, we want to continue to sync calendars and contacts. But we don't want to have each other's pics and reminders show up on both phones. This is what happens when I use my iCloud to set up her phone. So I set up her own ID.
Is it possible for us to sync our calendar and contacts? Or would it be better to put her phone under my original acount and somehow configure the sync to only sync what we want? What about iTunes? Does that work independently of the ID I set up on her phone?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. I imagine this is pretty common among couples and families. What does everyone else do?
Thanks,
Nick

Your link was helpful. I reviewed the prefs on the addressbook on the MacBook Air, and they are set as iCloud is the default account. And iCloud is enabled. The only other account is the On My Mac, not synced with any other service. The All Contacts entries are different than the entries on the iPhones.
Each iPhone is set with iCloud on, in PUSH mode with 15-minute Fetch as well. It doesn't matter whether they are only 3G modem, or on the same wi-fi as the laptop. The router is a NOVATEL MiFi 5-port wireless on Verizon. The entries are different on the laptop and the iPhones (both of which have the same data).
I edited the laptop SysPrefs/iCloud account settings to [email protected] The laptop iCloud account is [email protected], and the two iPhones are [email protected]
I see in my original posting this was reversed. The status is: me.com for the laptop. mac.com for the iPhones. Laptop & iphones do not update from the default info on the laptop, nor vice versa.
I have all features on the iCloud selected except for MAIL and NOTES on the laptop. All settings in the iCloud on the iPhones are on except for MAIL.

Using one Apple ID with two iPhones

A couple has his and her phones but only one Apple ID. They want to keep his and her music separate. They have checked the appropriate playlists for each phone, but the entire music library is on both phones. Can the music be separated in this situation?

Really appreciate this quick response. So I guess there won't be an issue to use the same id on two iPhones at the same time.
Thanks again!

Have been told if you use the same itunes account with two iphone you will receive each others text messages, is this true

Have been told if you use the same itunes account on two iphones, you will receive each others text messages, is this true?

you can use the same itunes id for purchases and so on, but have separate icloud id's for imessaging and all the icloud stuff. it's not preferable, but it isn't a problem either.

I stupidly have one iCloud account but with two iphones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the iCloud account from my husbands phone ? He needs the account on his but I don't want it on mine!!

I Stupidly have one iCloud account but with two phones using it. How can I delete iCloud from my phone without deleting the account from my husbands phone. He needs the account on his but I dont want it on mine!

But does this delete the whole account from the cloud, or just from my device. I must make sure my husband doesn't loose all his business contacts which are in the iCloud device. Thanks.

Using iTunes with two iPhones between two computers

I have an iPhone 4 that I use primarily on my Windows laptop and my wife has an iPhone 3G that she uses with our iMac. We have both of these devices set to Manually manage music and videos. If I connect my iPhone 4 to the iMac the checkbox to Manually manage music and videos is unchecked. If I check the box and click on Apply, it tells my that my iPhone is synced with another iTunes library. Do you want to erase this iPhone and sync with this iTunes Library?" How can I connect my iOS devices to any computer without running into this problem.

Iphone will sync/manually mange music with one and only one computer.
If you sync/manage to another, it will erase the content from the iphone and replace with content from the new computer.
This is by design and intentional.

Can I use one itune account with two iphones

I now have two iphones can you have one itune account and keep your contacts separate, I dont care about apps

Yes you can, iTunes will identify your phone by serial number and phone number.
Best if you can to set different name to your phone under SETTINGS/GENERAL/ABOUT/Name and to name like e.g. iphone3G and the other iPhone 4s.
So everytime you sync, itunes will backup your phone's contents and data and you will be able to identify from the backup files correctly in future.

How do i sync one itunes account with two iphones, one ipod touch, and a nano?

I need help in how to sync the one itunes account we use as a family with the two iphones my wife and i have and an ipod touch that my son has and a nano that my daughter has. Please help.

That article applies, as far as I can tell, to all things called iPod X where X can be nano, touch, classic etc.
We don't have two iPhones in the family as yet but as I understand it each device can have separate settings for syncing calendars and contacts. For example my iPhone syncs these over the air with the Exchange server at work so if/when my wife gets an iPhone it would be easy to have hers sync to our computer
To make sure your apps don't inadvertently merge turn off Automatically sync new apps from the apps tab when you connect your device.
The Apple support document How to use multiple iPods with one computer suggests a number of ways for managing the media content. I use method two (Sync with selected playlists) with a slight twist. Rather than regular playlists I set the grouping field to indicate which users should receive which tracks and create smart playlists based on the content of this field.
e.g.
"Alice's Tracks" is "Grouping contains Alice" + "Kind contains audio"
"Bob's Videos" is "Grouping contains Bob" + "Kind does not contain audio"
Tracks that both Alice & Bob want on their iPods have the grouping set to "Alice/Bob"
etc.
I currently manage our family's five iDevices using this system, each getting a different selection to suit their tastes and the capacity of their device. An advantage of using the grouping field is that it is stored in file tags (for non-wav audio files anyway) so that it is relatively easy to recreate the playlists should the iTunes library get trashed and need rebuilding. Also useful if you move files about manually as playlist membership is preserved when you delete & re-import the tracks.
