ISync. Syncing calendars between 2 .mac accounts?

Hi. My wife and I each have our own .mac account. Is it possible to sync our iCal calendars through iSync?... so that when one of us adds an event etc. it appears on the others calendar?
Thanks in advance to anyone with an answer or some advice.

iSync is for syncing Contacts and Calendars to mobile phones and PDAs only. It doesn't do Mac-to-Mac 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).

How to sync calendars between iCloud accounts?

I have converted my mobile me account and my wife's mobile me account to use iCloud. Everything is working very well with the exception of address book. I cannot find a way for both my wife and I to share the same address book. There is no publish and subscribe feature as there is with ical.
Does anyone know how two different iCloud accounts can share the same address book account? It's easy enough to copy the data but I don't want to do that. I want to share the same address book so that when she makes changes I see those changes. When I make changes she sees the changes. thanks for any help.
Btw, I'm talking about being able to do this via www.icloud.com rather than from an iOS app. How can my wife log into www.icloud.com and see my address book? It seems amazing to me that nobody at apple thought, "hey, we might have some married couples out there who want to share data..."

Is it subscribed under iCloud or another account?
Things really aren't "sync'd" in the sense that they were before. They exist on the server, and you access them from the server. So, they are in sync, but not really sync'd.
I think the ON MY MAC-based calendars are still sync'd through iTunes, which is why you see it on your Mac and phone.

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 to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud

How to sync bookmarks between Mac and iPhone without iCloud?
I bought a new iPhone and i would like to copy my Safari's bookmarks from my iMac (OS X 10.10.3) to my new iPhone (iOS 8.3).
How to do this, without iCloud?

You might be able to use Google Calendar to do what you want. Set up a Google account on the web, set up the MacBook to access the Google account, including calendar, then set up the iPhone the same way. While I'm using MAvericks, I am also using Google to manage my calendar, since I don't particularly *like* iCloud... And I came from Android to iPhone, but I haven't like iCloud since it was called MobileMe.
Oh, and as for sync to iTunes, can't you just use a direct conenction to the computer (either WiFi or cable) to keep the music in control?

Sync contacts between two account iCloud

Hi everyone,
Me and my wife both have iphone. We usually used just one iCloud account, so we had shared calendar, contacts etc. etc. which is very useful for us.
Since Siri has arrived it begun to create troubles with the contacts, because the contact marked as "me" is the same for both iphones, so on my iphone siri calls me with the name of my wife...
Now with the new "family" function with iOS 8 i can finally separate the iCloud accounts on our iphones, and still have the same apps, calendar etc. on both of them.
My problem is with the contacts, we would like to keep the same contacts on both iphones and synched, but i can't do that with the "family" function.
Anyone can suggest me a way to sync contacts between two account iCloud selecting which information to share?
Thanks

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.

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).

Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password.

Upgraded to Mavericks. Calendar.app asks for password to sync calendar to Exchange account. Exchange server rejects password. Had to go to Outlook (ugh!) in order to work (this suck!). Please help!

Wanted to chime in and say I'm having the same problem. Had to go back to Outlook which feels ancient. Hope Apple fixes this soon.

When syncing calendars between mountain lion and ios6 on iCloud, the times of events change

When I sync calendars between my iphone 4s running ios6 and my macbook pro running mountain lion 10.8.2 using icloud, the start times and end times of my events change ... very frustrating !!!

This is usually due to one of the two devices having the wrong time or being in the wrong time zone.

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).

Sync calendar between 2 iphones, 1 ipad and a mac mini

Hello Paul.
Can she sync her iPhone calendar with .Mac over the air (if that makes sense)?
No this is not possible. Over the air syncing is not supported with the iPhone. All syncing is done via a USB connection with a computer through iTunes only.

Share and Sync calendars between accounts

My wife and I each have our own user accounts on my Macbook. She syncs her iPad in her account, and I sync my iPhone in my account.
We would like to have one joint set of iCal calendars that sync between all accounts and devices, preferably without having to either subscribe to mobileMe, or buy a program.
I've done a quick search in this forum without finding anything. I'm hoping it's something as simple as putting both of our iCal databases in a shared folder, but my initial attempt to do that failed. Maybe I need to set up the right kind of links from the usual calendar locations.

Just to clarify what I tried as a first shot at doing this.
I created an alias to my Calendars folder in my Library folder, and also gave my wife's account (on the same Mac) read/write access to Calendars. (Could not find an option to make that permission recursive to all subfolders and files, but maybe that's automatic). Put the alias in my wife's drop box.
Logged in to my wife's account and dragged her Calendars folder onto her desktop. Dragged my Calendars alias into her Library and renamed it from Calendars Alias to Calendars.
What I hoped would now happen was that her iCal would start showing all my calendars instead of her old ones (which were minimal anyway).
What actually happened (after logging her out and back in ) was that her iCal gave an error message "invalid file name" and would not display any calendars. I was able to easily get her back to her former situation by trashing the alias and dragging her own Calendars folder back in from her desktop.
Surely there should be some way to accomplish essentially what I was trying to do -- have two users on the same Mac share a single set of calendars which are read/write to both of them. And by playing with permissions on individual calendars it should be easy to make some calendars read only to some users.
Maybe I need to go beyond using the kind of symbolic link created by the Finder alias mechanism, and make a hard link using the console? (but could that mess up Time Machine?) Or maybe something completely different? All suggestions welcome.
