Syncing contacts between 2 different computers while keeping both independent of each other?

Hi,
I'm wondering if there is a way to have my calendars and contacts from 2 different computers running Mountain Lion sync to my iPad retina while keeping the 2 computers from merging the calendars and contacts? I do have a separate apple ID set up on each computer, and each computer does connect to iCloud.
The reason is one is my work machine, the other my personal home machine. The home machine keeps my wife and me connected by sharing the contacts and calendars which has been working well. I don't want to clutter up that by mixing in calendars and contacts from my work computer and don't want my wife to have access to them either.
The only way I can figure to have both reside on my iPad while keeping them independant of each other is to physically connect my iPad to my work machine and not have the contacts in iCloud. That way when I transfer them to the iPad via iTunes, it will be under the category On My Mac rather than iCloud contacts.
The only problem with that is then I'm always having to connect and sync my iPad to my work machine.
Is there a better way to do this?

Sorry, you lost me right there. Where exactly did you try to put an asterix????
Which example program are you trying to use?
Typically, you would enter the IP address of the server in the client program.

  • Is it possible to sync contacts between different e-mail accounts?

    My Apple ID is based on my personal address (to keep my accountant happy).
    I'd like the contacts and calendar on my work laptop (w/ a differnet, work e-mail address) to be able to sync with my iPhone and iPad that are set up with my Apple ID.
    I have iCloud set up. 
    My e-mail client is OUTLOOK 2013 and the e-mail account is POP.
    My OS is WIN 8.1.
    Or, am I dreaming...
    Thanks!

    THANKS!  But, I'm not using EXCHANGE.  My web site and e-mail are hosted on Google-based servers using POP3.

  • Syncing contacts between Mountain Lion and Snow Leopard?

    One of my computers is running Mountain Lion, and the other is running Snow Leopard and so does not have access to iCloud. Is there any way to sync Contacts between the two computers?

        I am not sure why you can't access iCloud, using a browser? Then you have the same address book, so long as you are connected to the internet.  https://www.icloud.com/
        No email involved. From the browser, you can download individual iCards or all of the individual cards, BUT unfortunately, not the Groups. So, you have to fiddle on the SL machine with keeping the groups organized.
        Up until recently, I have been able to sync Contacts from ML (which stays synced to iCloud) to SL this way:  copy the /Users/~/Library/Application Support/AddressBook/ folder from the ML computer to the SL computer by dragging the icon onto the dock's AddressBook icon, this should retain all the group info.  But, recently, this has ceased being complete.
        Apple really left us behind on this one.

  • 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 on 2 different computers without it deleting my stored music?

Is there a way to sync the 2 different computers using my iPhone? for instance, I have a new CD I downloaded onto my work computer that I want to add to my iPhone but it says it is going to delete all the music I have loaded on my phone already. can I add this CD to my iPhone & not delete all my music? When I sync my iPhone then to my home computer I'd like the CD to be added to that computer as well.
    Thank you for your assistance with this & HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL

    But is it possible to (specifically) sync regularly with my PC iTunes library (as that computer has the larger HD), but everything else (contacts, photos, Mac Mail, etc.) to sync regularly on my Mac, sans hoops each time.
    Correct, but you aren't syncing email account mailboxes and messages via the iTunes sync process. There is an option to transfer selected email account settings to your iPhone via the iTunes sync process and after the account settings are successfully transferred to your iPhone, there is no reason to continue including this as part of the sync process.
    In regards to iTunes content, you can sync an iPhone with an iTunes library on a single computer only, and you can transfer photos to your iPhone from a single computer only. You can sync contact info, calendar events, and bookmarks with the supported applications on multiple computers.

  • Sync Contacts between Exchange account and MobileMe account

    On my iPad I use two different email accounts: one Exchange account with ActiveSync and one MobileMe account.
    How can I consolidate or sync Contacts between the two accounts?
    At least, I would like to be able to move contacts from my MobileMe account to my Exchange account. Is that possible?
    Thanks in advance for any hints or advice.

    You could each add the others iCloud to your devices as a secondary account in mail, contacts, calendars and just enable the services you wish to use.

    In the source list click devices (so far so good) then click the entry for your iphone or ipod.  that doesn't exist. HELP asap
    You don't import photos from the iPhone to your computer using iTunes.
    See this -> iOS: Importing personal photos and videos from iOS devices to your computer
    Note this only applies to photos taken with the iPhone. Any photos you previously added to your iPhone using iTunes should be copied from old computer to new computer.

  • I just received an OEM copy of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 5 with my Canon Pixma Pro 100 Printer.  What exactly is OEM.  Is it a full version?  Can I transfer files between different computers?

    @

    OEM means "Original Equipment Manufacturer", or in your case, Canon (not Adobe) is providing the software. It is identical to what you can buy from Adobe. It is the full version (that's the only version of Lightroom that exists)
    Transfer files between different computers ... this is not a function of Lightroom. Lightroom neither helps nor prevents you from transferring files from one computer to another.

    That is because that sync ability (for contacts and calendars) has been removed. Use iCloud instead.

  • How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro without iCloud?

    How do you sync contacts between an iPhone 5 and a MacBook Pro, using OS X 10.9.2 and iTunes 11.1.5 without using iCloud?

    I do NOT trust iCloud because it duplicated by contact book 4 to 5 times and blew up my records.
    Lately I realized that my Contact Book contacts are not updated and having lesser records, and did a check. There are a lot of missing contacts, despite Synching.
    I sync iPhone 5s (and iPhone 5) to Mac Contacts and I do NOT use CLOUD. Now it seems that it forces me to use CLOUD.
    I don't want to use CLOUD because of the BAD experience.
    I just realized that I cannot sync my iPhone 5s (&5) Contacts with Mac Contacts anymore, there is no even a button for Contacts on iTunes.
    This is RIDICULOUS... Screw around someone, this company is doomed.

  • Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account?

    Can you have different I cloud accounts on different devices. Like 4 phones with different numbers while keeping them all on the same I tunes account? My family shares one I tunes account but it would be nice to be able to have a different I cloud for family member. Is there a way to do this. Because the I cloud part on the setting on the phone and I pad are greyed out on the phones so you can't change the user.

    If they are greyed out then usually this means that the account is not validated on that device.  The Delete Account button at the bottom should still work and allow you to remove the current account form the iCloud Section of Settings.
    To answer your question, yes.  There are four places you can use an Apple ID on an iOS device:
    Settings > iCloud
    Settings > Messages
    Settings > FaceTime
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores
    The iTunes & App Stores is the only one you want to use a shared (family) Apple ID account.  The other three you will want a unique Apple ID for that person to prevent info merging or messages getting shared, etc.

  • Syncing Contacts between devices

    I want to sync Contacts between an iMac (OSX 10.6.8), an iPad (ios 5), an iPad2 (ios 6), and an iPhone 4s (ios 6).  I'd like to combine all of them without creating duplicates, if possible.  After the initial combination, I'd like to be able to make entries on any of the devices and re-sync the others using the iMac as the master.  Any suggestions? Also, if there's a better forum to post this question, please let me know.

  • Problem syncing Mail between two computers

    I know this is a well worn topic and I've read the posts on syncing mail between two computers. Overall, I've gotten it to work pretty well. Whenever I move from one computer to another, I copy my ~/Library/Mail folder to my thumbdrive and sync it w/ the same folder on my other computer before I fire up Mail on it.
    But here's the problem: I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on one of my computers (let's call it computer A). This apparently gives new message numbers to the messages. Things worked great on computer A after that.
    Then I synced the mailbox with my other computer, computer B. On computer B, the change in mailbox numbers apparently was not recognized. Every message in the "sent" folder gave me the message that I needed to go online and download the message. So I rebuilt the "sent" mailbox on computer B. Things then worked great.
    Then I synced back with computer A and the same thing happened. Every message in the sent folder gave me the "download from server message."
    It seems that I'm in some sort of infinite loop. The rebuild on one computer is not recognized by the other computer. Clearly, there is some file somewhere that contains info that's not being conveyed when I sync the ~/Library/Mail folder.
    Any suggestions??

    That is interesting. To that effect I have thrown together this Applescript:
    (CAUTION... do not run this script, experimental only!
    set flashDrive to "FLASH"
    tell application "System Events" to exists process "Mail.app"
    if the result is true then tell application "Mail" to quit
    -- copy files to mounted disk
    do shell script "rm -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
    do shell script "cp -r ~/Library/Mail /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/"
    do shell script "cp ~/Library/Preferences/com.apple.mail.plist /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/"
    --copy files to userfolder
    do shell script "rm -r ~/Library/Mail"
    do shell script "cp -r /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail ~/Library/"
    do shell script "cp /Volumes/" & flashDrive & "/Mail/com.apple.mail.plist ~/Library/Preferences/"
    Problem is, I don't know how to tell the script which version of mail data is older or newer. If you know of such a way let me know and I'll script it in, otherwise the user is stuck with manually choosing what to copy to where.
    And as we all know, any user choices are error-prone.

  • Keeping messages to different receivers independent of each other

    Hi
       We have a scenario in XI where a message from R3 in EOIO QOS hits XI and then the message has 3 receivers depending upon the content of the payload. Each receiver is a different application that is waiting to receive messages from R3. There is no BPM involved in this scenario.
    What we find is all these three messages are put in the same queue on the receiving side as I see in RWB . So - if one of the receiving systems had an issue ( either in mapping or application error while XI tries to communicate with that end system ) , the other two messages are in queue - and in HOLDING status.
    Our objective is to make these messages to different receiver systems independent of each other with this QOS - EOIO . Am i missing something here ? Is the queue name at the receiving end - not supposed to contain the receiving system name also as a part of it - so that the three queue names are unique and independent of each other ?

    Hi Karthik
    Default behavior of Adapter engine is EOIO. You will see the messages in queue in RWB. When you remove the configuration for "Maintain order at runtime" from interface determination then PI will process the messages independently. But in RWB as its having EOIO you will see the messages under a queue. But expected is PI should process as EO.
