Sync ical between two Macs?

Hi,
I have a Mac at home and a mac at work. Is it possible for my ical to sync on both macs so that i can view the same calenders on both macs?
It appears to be signed intop icloud on both macs but the calenders dont sync or display the same info?
Both are running 10.7.4.
Thansk.

Hi and thanks for responding.
I'm being really stupid here, i don't even know if my ical is "on my mac" or in "icloud" i'm afraid.
If i go into icloud in system prefs, "Calander" is checked on both Macs.
I can't find anything on my Mac that says" On My Mac" as in the link you sugessted?
Appologies for me struggling with this.

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.

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 iCal to two macs

Can anyone tell me if there is a way to sync my ical calendars (one on my imac and one on my mbp- both running lion) wirelessly or using air dorp or anyother way?

Greetings Carolyn,
To sync calendars between several Macs you have some choices:
- If you are a current MobileMe member, you can use MobileMe to sync the calendars. If you are not a MobileMe member at present, it will be replaced in the fall by iCloud which will have a similar calendar sharing ability: http://www.apple.com/icloud/
- Use a free calendar service like Google Calendars. (Type in "Set up a calendar account in iCal" in the iCal help menu for details or just ask if you want more info on that option)
- Use a sync program to sync the calendars across the Macs: http://www.busymac.com/busysync/
If you would like more details on one of these options just ask.
Cheers.

Sync iCal across two Macs w/o .Mac

How do I sync the iCal calendar across two Macs without using .Mac? I have heard of iSyncCal but right now their website is offline and I can't get to it. Other solutions?

Conal Ho,

Having one iCal between two Macs

Hi, sorry if I don't use the right language, but I'm new here, suck with technology, and couldn't find an existing post to solve my problem.
I have a PowerBook at home, and I also use an iMac in my office at school. Is there a way that anytime I add a calender event to one computer, it would also add itself to the other computer? That way the two contain the same information even if I only added it on one computer.
I see that some people talk about using Google Calender, or Entourage calender, and I don't want to do that. I like iCal and I want to keep doing it. It's simple enough, so hopefully I don't have to join some paid service just to do that.
I don't know if that's what iSync does, or .Mac does. I thought maybe there's an easy way to write a script that can be ran to do it, or something like that.
Thanks in advance.
P.S. If there's isn't an easy way to do it, is there a cheap way to do it if I were willing to pay to use a service?

This does seem to be a popular question!
Have a look at the reply I posted recently
http://discussions.apple.com/message.jspa?messageID=8763572#8763572
Essentially, the answer to you query is that you will have to pay for it. MobileMe may or may not be more than you require. I subscribe to this and it does what you wish to achieve (and so much more...).
Software solutions are also an option. I've just looked at BusySync, for example, which costs US$25. This syncs iCal with Google Calendar, so to sync two Macs they talk to the copy of your Google.
calendar.
Another one called ToMacs costs about US$10, and a third I found, Sync'Em has variable pricing but does seem to be designed for a workplace with Exchange servers, rather than a common or garden variety pair of domestic iCals.
As I advised in the post I linked above, go to www.versiontracker.com/macosx/ and survey the software you find with the search term 'calendars'. Then google for some reviews.

Syncing ical between 2 macs without .mac account, is it possible?

Hi all,
I have an iMac and a Macbook Pro and want to be able to sync iCal over the 2 machines so that entries added/updated on one will appear on the other.
I don't have a .mac account and don't really want to get one as this is all I would be using it for. So is this possible without a .mac account?
The two computers are not yet networked (I think) however they do share the same broadband internet connection through the same Belkin router, so I presume I can connect the two through this way (that will be my next question!!!)
How is the easiest way to achieve this?
Cheers,
Andrew

take a look at busysync, I think that will help you achieve what you want to do with your two computers over a local network.

Syncing iTunes between two macs, possible?

Hi,
A feature I really miss is the possibility to sync my iTunes music between two computers.
For instance, If I buy one song on Mac1 it syncs with Mac2, with just a few mouseclicks or so.
Right now it can be quite chaotic to keep track of both libraries, and would be nice with a program or a feature that can update the libraries easy, not matter if i'm deleting songs, adding, changing location, and so on.
Is this possible some how?
Thanks in advance

There are a few utilities specifically designed to help you sync iTunes across different computers. You could begin your research by having a look at these for instance:
TuneRanger
SuperSync
syncOtunes

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.

Sync iCal between 2 Macs?

Hi,
New to iCal, I have 2 Macs and I am trying to sync my different calendars to each machine. Do I have to publish each calendar or suscribe? Don't really understand what I am doing..... I have selected Sync iCal in .MAC pref but no where the system is asking me info for the 2 Macs, how do the system know what and where to Sync????
BTW I have a .Mac account, Macbook and PowerMac G5 both 10.4.8 and latest updates for all the apps.....
Thanks

While you can synchronize both published and subscribed calendars, it is not necessary to publish a calendar in order to synchronize it. The process of synchronization has no relationship to publication or subscription.
The synchronize calendars using .Mac Sync, follow the instructions shown here:
http://www.mac.com/1/learningcenter/Modules/qgdmSynct1.html
Calendar synchronization is an all-or-nothing proposition: you cannot select which individual calendars are synchronized, all are or none are.

Syncing iCal between two computers?

Is this possible? Thinking about getting my girlfriend a use PowerBook but I want to be able to sync both iCals.
Also, once sync'd, would everything sync to my iPhone?

If the site is driving you crazy, setting up, securing and operating a CalDAV server will really drive you over the edge. This is not a project to take on casually.
You can get an idea of the effort of doing so using the open-source Darwin Calendar Server on a Macintosh platform. That is the open-source code equivalent version of iCal Server, from Mac OS X 10.5 Server.

Can I sync iCal between two iPhones?

My wife and I each have a Mac and an iPhone and MobileMe. We each use iCal, which syncs wonderfully well for each of us, separately. What I want to do is be able to enter some shared events and have them sync to both desktops and both iPhones. I know I can create a shared calendar and publish it to MobileMe and then have her subscribe it, BUT that puts the event in a read-only status on her desktop only, and not on the iPhone.
I'm led to believe that OS 3.0 will solve this. Is that true? Is there a solution now, and if so, is there one that I won't have to undo when 3.0 comes out?

We have one MM account for the both of us [email protected]
Ok i'll try the instructions bit now
All this is done from the MM web interface
First we stopped the home computers syncing to MM
Then we set up two email aliases [email protected] and [email protected]
that way we can each have an individual email address and a shared one as well
We then filter the email coming in so they go to a folder named for each of us or if it's sent to the main MM email account it stays in the inbox (though you can just leave it so all mail to both of you along with the main email will go into the inbox)
choose Actions(the little gear symbol)>Preferences>Aliases tab to manage aliases
For calendars you go to the calendar view
Then on the left click on the + symbol or right click and choose to create new calendar we created three "us" (for shared events), "myself" (for me), "mywife" (for my wife) and assigned a colour to each
on the iPhone
go to settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars>Default Calendar>(appropriate calendar for each iPhone)
This means that when you create a calendar entry it will default to being in your colour
If you want to create a calendar entry for your wife when you add a new event there is an option to choose the calendar you add it to, once the event is added though you can't edit this afterwards.
The default view is to see all calendar entries for everyone if you just want to see your events open Calendar>Calendars then select the appropriate calendar to just view that calendars events the calendar will remember this setting for next time
Once this was done we re-sync'd the home computers to MobileMe and they picked up the multiple calendars and displayed the entries accordingly so no setup was required on them.
Hope this helps if you want me to expand on any points let me know as i tried to keep it as brief as possible while still providing a reasonable guide.
