Synchronizing calendars and contacts using 2 computers and 2 iphones

my husband and I both have a MacBook Pro; we both have an iPhone. Lucky us! We want to be able to synchronize our calendars and contacts on each other's computers. How can we do this without over-writing each other's calendars and address book? We both use Ical and Address book. At the very least, it would be helpful have my husband's work calendar and my home calendar integrated AND our contacts. Please tell me how to accomplish this. Thank you.

If you don't want mobileme, here are two other choices:

I downloaded the icloud software on my computer in order to sync calendars and contacts using Windows 2007, but I keep getting an error message when trying to sync my icloud and Outlook calenders - can anyone help with this?

I downloaded the icloud software on my computer in order to sync calenders and contacts using Windows 2007, but I keep getting an error message when trying to sync my icloud and Outlook calendars. I downloaded it for the first time a month ago and had it working but it stopped syncing, so I deinstalled the iCloud software and reinstalled, but keep getting the error message "Your setup couldn't be started because of an unexpected error. What do I do now? Can anyone help with this?

Hello easbda,
Thank you for providing the details of the calendar issue you are experiencing with your iPhone. I recommend following the steps in the section titled "Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in the following article to assist with syncing your calendar events between your devices:

TS3999 How do you get info entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push back to an equipped MacPro? so far it's only a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be.

Hi, all.
How do you get information entered into iCal and Contacts on an equipped iPhone to push to an equipped MacPro? So far it's been a one way street Macpro to phone, and that's not what I was told it would be. I've been through all settings on both devices and see no way to do this. Help! If I synch the old fashioned way, what's going to happen?

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.

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.

The voicemail system used for the iPhone is different from the voicemail system used on the rest of the Verizon Wireless network. When you activate the iPhone, you lose your saved voicemails from the other system. When you activate a non-iphone, you lose any saved voicemails from the iPhone voicemail system too.

I plugged in the iphone 5 to PC via itunes what should i do between Set up as new iphone or Restore from this back up? i just want to transfer all my purchased apps and contacts to my new iphone? don't want to screw thing up. Please help..... thanks

Is this a new iPhone?
If so, when connecting a new iPhone to iTunes for the first time that has been used to sync with another iPhone or iOS device, you are prompted to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device to the new iPhone, or set up the new iPhone as a new iPhone.
If you don't want to transfer the backup for the other iPhone or iOS device, select set up as a new iPhone. No existing data or settings will be erased or changed when selecting as a new iPhone. Not that difficult or difficult at all.

When I try to download all my info like notes and contacts onto a new iphone an error appears saying that it is incompatible or the backup was corrup, how do I fix this?

Which is it? Is "it" incompatible or is the backup corrupt?

the only way that anyone would be able to see anything at all on your phone is if they knew your apple id password, or they were looking over your shoulder
if you are concerned that someone may know your apple id password, please change it at appleid.apple.com

Try going through the troubleshooting steps listed under "Troubleshooting on Microsoft Windows (Microsoft Outlook)" in this article: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3999. In particular, make sure the iCloud Outlook add-in is active within Outlook.

I lost my iphone and I use the locate iphone function to wipe to protect my information, but I cannot get the location to restore my iphone, can I request a permanent lock to prevent the thief from using it?

I lost my iphone and I use the locate iphone function to wipe to protect my information, but I cannot get the location to restore my iphone, can I request a permanent lock to prevent the thief from using it?, I call your call centre, your staff said they can do nothing, I am great disappointed as your advertisment said that we can protect our phone from lost, however, I think my phone has now been resale and reuse by others, but Apple cannot do anything with your so call "Find my iphone" function, I have brought 4 iphone and iPad for my family use, I will never use your product again and recommend to my company or friends anymore!
Philip Sin

You are not addressing Apple here at all.
Apple can do nothing. Sorry.
Like any other make of any other phone, they cannot permanently disable it.
The thief is responsible. Not Apple. You seem to be directing your anger at the wrong people.
No phone manufacturer will do this.
"I am great disappointed as your advertisment said that we can protect our phone from lost, "
It mentions "loss" NOT theft. you cannot find a mention of theft protection. Find my iphone is NOT theft protection and has never been advertised as such.

I just encountered a similar issue. I bought a new iPhone5s and sent my iPhone4s for recycling as it was in great shape, no scratches, no breaks, perfect condition. I expected $200 and received an email that I would only receive $24.12. The explanation was as follows: Phone does not power on - Power Supply Error. Attempts to discuss don't seem to get past a customer service rep that can only "escalate" my concern. They said I would receive a response, but by email. After 4 days no response. There is something seriously wrong with the technical ability of those in the recycling center.
