Multiple CalDAV / CardDAV calendars/addressbooks sharing one account

Hi,
I'm trying to setup my calendars and address books on my Q10. I have multiple calendars like this
<university server>/caldav.php/group1/calendar1
<university server>/caldav.php/group1/calendar2
<university server>/caldav.php/group1/addressbook1
<university server>/caldav.php/group2/calendar1
<university server>/caldav.php/group2/addressbook1
etc. but they're all accessed with the same username/password. Now, when I try to set them up in my Q10, the first one I pick works, but when I try to set up a second, the phone complains that the account exists already (I assume because they share the same Mail address - none - and the OS does not notice the different servers).
What to do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I tried that, plus I did some further testing and have gotten it to work now:
CalDAV and CardDAV for the same server works out-of-the-box, probably because they are of a different type. So that takes care of the Contacts.
If I then make different accounts just for the groups, not the individual calendars (<servername>/group instead of <servername>/group/calendar), the multiple calendars in one group are auto-detected.
So now I have 1 CardDAV and one CalDAV account per <servername>/groupN, with the Q10 taking care of <servername>/groupN/calandar1...n on its own. Great! Thanks for your help anyway.
One last thing: For CardDAV, the mail address is a required field. Why? I don't need it for logging in ...

  • Does iTunes allow multiple devices (iPod nano) to share one account?

    Does iTunes allow multiple devices (iPod nano) to share one account?

    Yes, Apple are keen for you to buy as many of their devices as your pocket will support.
    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.

  • I have 2 sons that were sharing one account and now I want to separate them, will I run into any issues ?

    I have twin sons and my wife sharing one itunes account and now from what a relative told me I should split them up since face time from my sons itouch is showing up on my wife's iphone ... so I started a new itunes account for all 3 of them, and now I want to sync each of their devices with their own accounts, before they had all the same music, etc... will I run into any issues when syncing each of their devices... meaning will I see a message like "this device is synced with another account and then it will say if I proceed it will erase what is on the device" ... ??  will I see this or will it just sync as normal
    Thanks

    You can't merge accounts or transfer iTunes purchases from one Apple ID to another: but there is no problem about using two IDs.
    Use your iCloud ID for iCloud for syncing email, contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and PhotoStream.
    Use your other Apple ID as before for iTunes, iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match.
    There's no conflict about doing this, and you won't even notice as Keychain will log you in with the correct ID in each case. It's also better security not to have your iTunes login also your email address, given the number of complaints about hacked iTunes accounts.

  • Adding a new user account or just sharing one account?

    Hello - looking for the best practice with this - my wife has an old PC laptop which is nearing the end of its life. She will probably just share my iMac with me. If so, her photos will be imported into iPhoto and her iTunes library will have to be migrated over. She also has an iphone with her own set of contacts in it. Three questions for folks out there who have multiple users on their macs:
    1. Would it be best if she just had her own account on the mac or can we just share one account?
    2. If we go the route of two separate accounts, will Time Machine be able to backup this new account?
    3. Can one iTunes library and one iPhoto library be shared across two separate accounts?
    Thank you.
    Steve

    1. It is usually best to have two separate accounts.
    2. Yes.
    3. Possible, but usually simpler to maintain separate libraries.

  • GCalendar Multiple Calendar Synchronizing on one account

    I'm thinking about changing from an iPhone to a Blackberry 9380.
    My question is this,
    I am very organzed and keep 10 Calendars on one gAccount. So when I create an event for work to be done on my Truck, I put it in the Truck Calendar... When it's for my daughters, I put it in there Calendar (Each have there own named). 
    From what I have been reading, this is not possible with the Blackberry for Sync ... From what I have read, it's only capable of syncing with one (main) calendar.
    Please prove me wrong so I can pick up a new Blackberry 9380 today :-) (It's one of many Chirstmas gifts to myself).. hehe

    Hello Sdswmr and welcome to the Palm forums.
    I'm not seeing this issue on my Pre with webOS 1.4.5 installed.  If I create a calendar event, and select one of my other Google Calendars, that event is pushed to the correct calendar and I see it in Apple's iCal.  Similarly, if I create a new event in iCal, it shows up correctly on my Pre.
    Have you tried removing all of your Google accounts and readding them?  What other troubleshooting have you done?

  • We are sharing one account for 3 iphones, everytime one of us purchase some app, the app show up in the other iphone as well. How do we disable this?

    Me, my wife and sis are using the same apple account for our 3 iphone.
    Everytime one of us purchase a app online, the other two will have the same app installed automatically.
    Sometimes is good, but most of the time, it's annoying.
    Is there anyway to disable this?
    Thanks,
    W.

    It's also dangerous that if you are downloading some app that is not good for your kids who is sharing the same account with you. They can easily turn on/off the app sharing without your notification.
    So, if Apple can set an option that can control this from the pc instead of from the device, that will be much better to control than this!
    I hope Apple is reading this!

  • Multiple call managers and clusters sharing one application server

    Hi
    I need to program my application such that it can be shared by multiple call managers and clusters. That is, I can only have one application server, and as a result I need to tell my application from which call manager / cluster this "request" is coming from.
    My question is how do we do that? do we have access to some parameters / variables, similar to "#DEVICENAME#", which can be used to pass the call manager identity to the application?
    TIA

    Use multiple instances of your application with different URIs (assuming the instances will not have to talk to each other), then, when configuring the service on each cluster, simply reference the specific URI of the application instance for that cluster. eg: Using Tomcat to host the PhoneMessenger application for Cluster1 and Cluster2, Deploy the same application twice: PhoneMessengerForCluster1 and PhoneMessengerForCluster2. The service URL on Cluster1 might be: http://app_server/PhoneMessengerForCluster1/servlet/PhoneMessenger , and for Cluster2 it could be http://app_server/PhoneMessengerForCluster2/servlet/PhoneMessenger

  • How to set up family sharing if we previously shared one account?

    My wife and I have 2 phones and 4 tablets between the two of us.  We have always just used my itunes account on all of the devices.  Now that family sharing is available, I'd like to set her up with an apple ID and separate our stuff.
    What is the way to do this?  When I do this will it "break" things on her devices?  Will apps disappear when we add her apple ID to the devices and then have to reinstall them?  Now that we can take calls over all the devices, this is becoming more important.

    As far as I know that can not be done, because content sharing is done using Itunes store licensing and licensing laws are different in different countries. That is why itunes store is not international entity, every county has it's own.

  • Is there a way to purchase multiple copies of an App via one account?

    I am the IT-support for a high school in New Zealand.  They have asked to buy three copies of Final Cut Pro X for student use.  FCPX can only be purchased through the App Store.  I have created an account and purchased a copy, but it doesn't look like I can purchase additional copies without creating additional accounts.
    We are unable to purchase anything through the Business or Education stores because they are US-only.
    Is there any other way around this, or is Apple just blowing it big time in NZ?
    Thanks.

    The MAS is a complete mess for non-individual purchases. I handle most of the Apple purchase orders at my college and for digital distribution via the MAS the key is number is a quantity of 20 or more.
    First of all, you should have some kind of contact within Apple's NZ Education Sales department. If not, you should find out who that is.
    For FCPX, if you need three copies, you need to create three individual Apple IDs and make three separate purchases. This is absolutely asinine, but that's how it's setup. Even better, in America, there's no way to become tax exempt, so they charge us tax and then we have to request a refund, where they then mail us a paper check.
    If you want 20 or more copies of anything, I contact my Edu sales rep and get a quote for it, then we pay via purchase order. Then we receive an E-Mail with individual MAS redemption codes for the number of licenses we ordered. Then you just redeem one code, download the app, and deploy it out, either through ARD (Apple Remote Desktop), or however else you want to.
    So in summary, try to order 20 or more of anything. Once you hit 20 there's a price break of roughly 50% and your Apple NZ Edu sales rep should have a PDF of their Edu product matrix pricing. If you order less than 20 of a product, it's a huge pain in the ***. Establish one centralized MAS Apple ID, or at least one per dept. For example: [email protected] (music dept's redemption account). Redeem one code for whatever App you've purchased, deploy the rest out however you prefer and just keep track of the amount of licenses you've used vs. the amount you've ordered.

  • Is there a way to keep two users calendars separate on one account?

    My wife and I have both of our schedules showing up on iCal.  That's ok for the iMac, but is there a way to show separate events on our personal iPad?

    Yesterday while at the Apple store my wife merged iCal from her iPad onto our iMac so we could setup iCloud.  That also placed her data on my iPad, which made it difficult to read.  After playing with the iCal settings I noticed you can select the devices to show what appears on your individual device.  Now, all I need to do is edit and direct her calendar items to her "Named" calendar. Seems to work ok now.  Thank you for your input.

  • I had a shared mobileme account for my work calendar- 4 people sharing call using one set of calendars.  It is on my mac but not on my iphone anymore...just 3 of my calendars went to icloud.  Any idea how to get the calendars from a "family" mobileme?

    I had a group account on mobileme...a family pack that each of us at work had an individual account and we all shared one account in the family.  It kept our work calendar- a schedule telling who is in the office and who is on call.  This is still on my macBook but not on my phone or my iPad.  Any idea how I make my phone show the calendars on my MacBook?  It was there before I went to iCloud.

    If your email account offers a webmail access, I suggest checking the webmail - log in to your account using the webmail access, and I predict you will see all those "unread" emails there and can dispose of them from there.
    This happens because the iPhone that went bad, when reading those emails, did not remove them from your email provider's servier.

  • How do multiple family members use iTunes.? One account or multiple?

    How do multiple family members use iTunes. One account right now but apps gets added to all devices and iTunes messages go to all devices.  Can multiple accounts be setup and still have ability to share purchased items?

    Hey Ajtt!
    I have an article for you that can help inform you about using Apple IDs in a variety of ways:
    Using your Apple ID for Apple services
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4895
    Using one Apple ID for iCloud and a different Apple ID for Store Purchases
    You can use different Apple IDs for iCloud and Store purchases and still get all of the benefits of iCloud. Just follow these steps:
    iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
    When you first set up your device with iOS 5 or later, enter the Apple ID you want to use with iCloud. If you skipped the setup assistant, sign in to Settings > iCloud and enter the Apple ID you’d like to use with iCloud.
    In Settings > iTunes and App Stores, sign in with the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match). You may need to sign out first to change the Apple ID.
    Mac:
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Apple () menu > System Preferences > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, you can also click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    PC (Windows 8):
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in the Control Panel. To access the iCloud Control Panel, move the pointer to the upper-right corner of the screen to show the Charms bar, click the Search charm, and then click the iCloud Control Panel on the left.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes. In iTunes 10, select Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    PC (Windows 7 and Vista):
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for iCloud in Control Panel > Network and Internet > iCloud.
    Enter the Apple ID you want to use for Store purchases (including iTunes in the Cloud and iTunes Match) in iTunes 10 in Store > Sign In. In iTunes 11, click iTunes Store > Quick Links: Account.
    Note: Once a device or computer is associated with your Apple ID for your iTunes Store account, you cannot associate that device or computer with another Apple ID for 90 days. Learn more about associating a device or computer to your Apple ID.
    Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities!
    Cheers,
    Braden

  • Migration Assistant (PC to Mac) and Shared iTunes Account

    New Mac user here (other than iPhone), so be gentle.
    So a couple of issues I need input on/help with, I'll try to keep it as short as possible. The short version is this...my wife and I both have iPhones which we've managed using a single iTunes account but separate libraries on our PC. With the addition of her MacBook Pro, looking for the best way to move forward that will allow her to manage her iPhone from her MacBook while I continue to manage mine with my PC without either of us losing access to currently shared purchases.
    Now for the long version...When my wife and I first got iPhones 2 years ago, we kept a single shared iTunes account for ease of sharing music/apps...but have kept separate libraries. It seems to be increasingly difficult with new iOS updates and now an additional device (her new MacBook Pro) to maintain the libraries. For instance, Apps that one of us downloads that the other does not want automatically show up in the other's library or on their device. We have also had some some confusion with having multiple phone numbers linked to the one account. But I can't help think that we're too far down this path to go to separate accounts. If she got her own account would that not mean her losing access to any paid music/apps that we currently share? Then of course there's the issue of sharing future purchases. I'm clueless as how to handle this.
    The other issue is migrating iTunes music/apps over to her new MacBook Pro from our PC. I went ahead and did this last night...but what I didn't realize is because the two computers had different usernames...her MacBook created a new username for the files so the only way to access the migrated music is for her to login as a different user. Is there anyway to easily fix this? I'm also concerned because of the shared iTunes account and multiple libraries, that even when I get the migration sorted out there will be issues with where her new Mac is looking for files. On our PC, the directory structure has become a bit convoluted...with the shared music/Apps spread out in multiple folders...
    \My Documents\My Music\iTunes\ (contains my library and all purchases)
    \My Documents\My Music\Her iPhone\ (contains her library and all purchases)
    Not to mention the fact that when I migrated over, I migrated over everything...including all the music/apps that are not in her library.
    Keep in mind I'm moderately PC literate...but completely Mac illiterate. Any and all help/input appreciated...thanks!

    Open the Users folder on the internal drive, locate the migrated folder, drag it to the desktop, and provide your administrator password.
