Sync Calendar across multiple devices

My wife and I each have an iMac and iPhones. We would like to be able to have a common calendar across all of our devices. I suspect this can be done with iCloud. I think this can be done by both of us using the same iCloud account but then we would have to have common everything. We each have separate Contacts lists and really don't want to co-mingle them.
Is it possible to have multiple iCloud accounts on the same device?
Can someone point me to a place where I can read about how to set this up?
Thanks a lot for the help.
Adrian

I have the same setup here for me any my wife. We each have a separate apple ID used for iCloud (but share one ID for iTunes).
We each have personal calendars but we also have a shared one (named shared). On icloud.com we have that calendar shared where we can each add/edit the events. And it is shared accross our iPad and iPhones.

Sync Thunderbird across multiple devices

Can anyone tell me how to sync my Thunderbird email accounts across multiple devices? I've got this weird situation where incoming emails are showing up on one device but not another, and the contents of the inboxes are different across iMac; Macbook; iPad and iPhone. I'm using IMAP but just can't get the inboxes to look the same across each device. I use this account for work so it's very frustrating.

How to sync contacts across multiple devices

I have a iPhone, iMac and iPad that I am having trouble keeping my contacts in sync!
Some contacts do not appear across all devices and others appear duplicated on one or more device.
After much checking of the settings and trying to merge contacts, I have still not managed to sort the problem.
David

First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.

How do I merge calendars across multiple devices?

How do I sync calendars across Apple devices?

I have gone through the steps to use iCloud to sync calendars on my computers, iPhone, and iPad. However, not all calendar items on my iPhone show up on the Calendar on my iMac. How can I ensure that events I add on one device are pushed to all other devices? Thanks for any suggestions.

Syncing ITunes Across Multiple Devices...

Hi everyone,
I have had a MacBook for about four years now, and have always enjoyed having my entire music library in iTunes and on an iPod. Recently, my iPod broke -- and around the same time, I got an iPad and iPhone5 (both 16GB). So here's my question: It's not feasible to put my entire music library on the iPad and iPhone because of space considerations. So I'm wondering what you guys think is the best way to ensure that I have the same sampling of songs from my library on the iPad and iPhone (aside from just manually uploading the same songs to each device). I'm sure there are simple answers to this question, but I'm new to the iPad and iPhone, so keeping the two devices synced is all new to me. Any suggestions people have would be great. Thanks.

Create a playlist with the songs you want to listen to. When you connect each device, select the "music" tab and specify that you want it to sync to just the songs in that playlist.
If you let iTunes decide what songs to download, (I think) it will have created a playlist and already done this. You can choose to either start with this, or make a new playlist. You can sync the same playlist to all your devices.
Another option is Music Match. For $25/year, you can have access to your entire library over the network from all your devices and other computers. That was how I solved the same problem you have.

Sharing multiple iCloud calendars across multiple devices

My wife and I have different apple ids (plus I have a work one too). Is there any way we can view each other's icloud calendars on all our iPads and iPhones? If someone can help that would be great - thanks.

I made a Calendar named "Family" on my iPhone.
I shared this Calendar by adding person. (My wife's email).
My wife accept it and now we have two Calendars on each phone. The "personal" one and the "Family".
Every time I make a new event I have to decide to save on mine or family calendar. My Calendar is the default calendar so if I want to add an event on this I don't have to change anything. But if I want to add an event in the Family calendar I have to change the calendar to family. (It's below the alerts fields).
My wife using her Calendar rarely so she setup the Family as default. (Settings>Mail, Contacts, Calendars>Calendars section>Default Account>Family.
So you don't have to send invitations every time. Just add an event in the right Calendar.
Hope this helped. Sorry for my English

How do I stop games from syncing across multiple devices?

Hi there,
My kids all have their own ipads (super big blessing from a grandparent). My husband and I each have one as well. We like to play some of the same games, and sometimes the game progress syncs between our devices. Eg. We like to play Disney's Frozen Free Fall game, and for some reason, my ipad doesn't sync to my husband's. When my kids asked for the game on their ipads, however, the games automatically synced to my husband's, so I didn't let them keep it (I didn't want them using all his items/lives).
My kids all like to play Angry Birds Transformers, and with the latest update to that game, their games are all suddenly connected to each other (they all have the same characters, number of gems, etc.).
How do these games sync (game center, icloud, etc.)? Does anyone know how to disable the feature so that our games do not sync across multiple devices? I would like us to not be sharing the same game progress. We all share one itunes account.
Thanks so much!
(If it helps, I have the ipad2, my kids have ipad mini 2's, and my husband has the ipad air.)

We all share one itunes account.
This would be why the syncing occurs. Until a more knowledgeable person comes by ...
You can have one, two or three apple id accounts per idevice. Assign a second apple id to all the kids machines. Same or multiple apple ids. depending on how you want the game to act. Does a family account differ? delete the game from the current apple id. Install the game on the new apple id ( or apple ids ).
Look into family sharing:

Calendar colors across multiple devices

Okay, I've been using iCal for well perhaps ever ever since it started shipping in the OS. I'd like to be able to change the colors codes of calendars on an iPad 2 running the app. So far haven't found a place to do that. Suspecting it might be a mobileme thing. I've even tried that, nope no good. Seems like the iCal app on the iPad pulls colors from somewhere as some match others don't. I looking for a consistent look for all calendars across different devices, i.e. Ipad/iPhone/Laptop desktop version of iCal. Going to repost this same question on the iCal discussion group.
Thanks,

Does lion server support a single email address across multiple devices??

I am looking to move from an outdated Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 to OS X Lion Server but I am unsure as to how Lion will handle email. I do not want to spend money on a new windows server if I can get a Mac Mini Server to do the job. I am a very small business with a number of email accounts for a couple employees and need access to email and calendar from both the office iMac's and my Macbook Pro when on the road. My IT guy says I need Exchange but he's been off base on a few other items recently and I wanted to check with other sources.
I have 2 new iMac's, a MacBook Pro, an iPad1 and and iPhone4 on the mac side of things and 2 windows computers running XP. I would get rid of the windows computers completely if not for my CAD program which runs best not in a virtual machine mode.
How well will email and calendar entries sync across devices?

I have a very similar setup at my office. Lion Server will push email, calandar, contacts to all of your apple product with out a hitch.
As far the Windows XP machines, you can access email over IMAP with Thunderbird, and calandars via sunbird or the built in web app.
I would ditch the exchange server move to Mac OS X Server, and never look back.
God Luck!
PS. All of your devices will be in sync all the time.

IPad 2 not syncing Calendar to other devices through iCloud

My iPad 2 is not syncing Calendar events to other devices through iCloud
Devices: MacBook Pro (Mountain Lion 10.8.2), iPhone 3GS (iOS 6.0), iPad 2 (iOS 6.0)
iPad 2 Settings:
   iCloud settings: Calendars 'ON'
   Mail, Contacts, Calendars: Default Calendar: Calendar; Sync: All events
   Shared Calendar Events: 'ON'
   Within Calendar App: Calendars checked: Home, Calendar
iPhone 3GS Settings:
   Identical to iPad 2 settings
MacBook Pro iCloud Calendar: Home and Calendar checked
I set up the following test event entries for the same date to see what was coming up in each device above:
1-From iPad: iPad to iCloud test
   2-From iPhone: iPhone to iCloud test
   3-From iCloud.com: iCloud.com to iCloud test
   4-From MacBook Pro: Launchpad Calendar App to iCloud test
(The last two entries may be redundant, but I wanted to cover all possibilities.)
I then I checked the Calendar App for each of the above devices for "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4 above.
The iPhone Calendar App had "events" 2, 3, and 4
The MacBook Calendar App through LaunchPad had "events" 2, 3, and 4
iCloud.com had "events" 2, 3, and 4
The iPad, however, had "events" 1, 2, 3, and 4
Only the iPad had all events entered from all devices. This creates a problem, of course, since I almost always have the iPad with me, and that's where I make additions/changes to Calendar, Contacts, Notes, and Reminders. Dependability across the Cloud is pretty important! What can I do to resolve this?
N.B., Contacts and Reminders synced successfully across all devices through iCloud. Notes, on the other hand, showed a different problem. When I created a "Test from devices" note, the iPad and the iPhone showed the additions to the note from each device, including the MacBook. The MacBook only showed what had been written from the MacBook. Hmmmm...
Any help here would be greatly appreciated!
2tallDave

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Numbers vs. iCloud across multiple devices?

I'm confused. I am a long time mobile me user and I consider my self a mac poweruser. I just made the switch to iCloud and my main purpose was to use Numbers across multiple devices. I have a MacPro, iPhone 4 and iPad 2, all running the lastest versions of iOS, Lion, and Numbers. I understand that the Mac version can't sync seamlessly like iCal or Contacts. I have to upload and download files with changes to work on them on the Mac. However, I can't see any of the files on my iOS devices or in my iWork page on my iCloud. If I make a file or make a change to a file in Numbers on an iOS device, shouldn't it upload that file to the cloud automatically? Shouldn't the iOS devices "see" the newly uploaded changes from my Mac? I got it to work once as a test right before Thanksgiving, but since then, nothing. I've made sure all the correct settings are turned on, however, still no communication to the iCloud.
Am I expecting too much? I'd really like to buy a MacBook Air to use Numbers at work, however, I can't justify the cost if none of these devices will talk to each other. What I really need is for my iPhone or iPad to have up to the minute versions of my Numbers files which will be mainly edited on a laptop or desktop. Any suggestions. Thanks.

Your understanding of how iWork document syncing works is correct.
Have you enabled document syncing on each of your iOS devices. (settings > iCloud, and setting > pages > iCloud etc etc)
If you still can't get it all syncing try turning off syncing on all your devices and then turning it on all of them again. (you might ant to save any documents already on your iOS devices to iTunes for safety before turning syncing off)

How do I set up imessage across multiple devices

I am trying to link my phone mobile number and my apple ID to the same imessage account, so I can text across multiple devices.

In addition to Amy's comment, set the Caller ID on your phone to the same email address that is associated with your apple ID (and which should be used on iMessage on your other devices). This way the messages will stay synced across all devices.

Syncing ical across multiple computers without .mac

Hi,
Is it possible to sync ical calendars across multiple computers in the same network or over the internet without .Mac? If I have a website or ftp server, can I use that instead to synce over the internet or is there an easier way? Thanks.

This is another related question.
Having at last extracted a decade of diaries from Palm Desktop as vCal (since you ask I had to go back to Classic as the app quit without writing the export file in Tiger and Leopard, even tho it is otherwise OK) I now have something I can import rather messily into iCal.
However as I have really bad internet access in the Boondocks where I live I don't want to use .Mac to sync between my iMac and iBook. Palm ran very happily from a thumb drive, but I don't see how I can do it as the powers that be seem to have made the data file invisible.
I'd like to move it to the thumb drive and have an alias on each Mac where the data should be - as I do with Palm.
Does anyone know the path, and if there is a problem doing it between Tiger and Leopard?
Cheers, Colin
