Syncing iCal without using Mobileme

This is probably a basic question but I'd appreciate help please.
My wife and I each have a MBP which are synced for contacts, bookmarks and calendars.  I have a Mobileme account in my name and my wife has an iPhone.
We now want to sync just the calendars from out MBPs to her iPhone.  We can do this fairly easily via iTunes but is there a way we can do this wirelessly?  We tried adding MobileMe to her iPhone but ended up with duplicate entries for everything in iCal as it was all transferred to the Mobileme account.  We don't want to involve MobileMe as I want to keep this just for any personal/work stuff.
The iTunes system works but it would be good to be able to have the iPhone updated automatically.  Is there a way of doing this please. (BTW, I'm still on Snow Leopard if this makes a difference)
Many thanks in advance for any help.
John

You could use Google Sync:

  • IWeb without using mobileme??

    can i create a website and later get a domain name and publish the site i created in iWeb without using mobileme or anything like that?? sorry, new to all this and don't want to get going and realize i need a mobileme account

    To add to Roddy's post - these are the features that will be lost by not hosting on MobileMe:
    Features Unavailable When Publishing to a Non-Mac Server:
    ◼ Password protection
    ◼ Blog and photo comments
    ◼ Blog search
    ◼ Blog RSS Subscription
    ◼ Hit counter
    ◼ Enhanced slideshows
    Most can be overcome on the 3rd party server except for the Enhanced slideshows. Don't ask me what that is because I've not been able to find out (I use MMe). You can use a good, strong 3rd party blogging service and embed your blog site in one of your site's pages: Embed a Site Within an iWeb Page. For password protection most commercial hosting services offer that feature, for either the whole site or individual pages.

  • How do I publish my site without using MobileMe?

    I have been publishing an iWeb designed website to my own domain name for more than a year without using MobileMe.
    Had a computer repair done and Apple did a clean install. I am now rebuilding the site because my files don't talk to iWeb after reinstalling the software. Yes, I had everything backed up three different ways, including TimeMachine, but the external drive died at the same time as my laptop.
    Now I can't figure out how to just use my ftp to publish. Every time I try, it wants me to use MobileMe. I don't want to use MobileMe. How do I get to an option to just enter my URL and publish the site?
    Previous versions of iWeb 09 gave me a screen to put in my URL, but not the latest permutation of iWeb 09. Help!

    Greetings,
    Sorry to hear about the loss of data. Multiple backups are a good idea. I burn my iWeb domain file to a CD (along with my calendars and addressbook) once a month as well as maintain a Time Machine backup. I use MobileMe's backup program to trigger these backups, however if you are not a MobileMe member you can search online for other backup programs that can do this for you on a regular basis.
    You can input your FTP host settings by following the steps in the iWeb help menu under "FTP": http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?path=iWeb/3.0/en/6838.html
    Hope that helps.

  • Syncing across devices without using mobileme

    Hi, I use ical on my ipad for all my work and personal dates. I gather I need to pay for mobileme to sync across my ipad, iphone and macbookpro.  However, I thought mobileme was being discontinued and also, doesn't the cloud take care of all of that?
    A subsidiary point is that I recently had to purchase a new hard drive and I've really lost confidence in having the laptop as my master for docs and trust the ipad far more.
    Any thoughts please, from anyone?
    Thanks - J.

    Firstly, MobileMe is dead, and there is no question of paying for it.
    Your signature says you have 10.6.6 - is this correct? If it isn't please correct it to prevent confusion. if it is, you should firstly get the 10.6.8 combo updater to get it as high as Snow Leopard will go.
    If you want to use iCloud's full facilities you need to upgrade to Lion: this is $29.99 in the Mac App Store (which you will need 10.6.8 to access). Your Mac will need to meet the requirements:
    Mac computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo, Core i3, Core i5, Core i7, or Xeon processor
    2GB of memory
    OS X v10.6.6 or later (v10.6.8 recommended)
    7GB of available space
    and your iPad will need to be running iOS5.
    If you have not migrated your MobileMe account to iCloud, go to http://me.com (on your Mac) and follow the link to migrate: you need to do so as a matter of urgency as we don't know for how much longer this will be possible.
    That done, in theory you should be able to access your email in Mail at the same server settings, but this hasn't worked for everyone: you can set Mail up manually to access your iCloud email:
    Entering iCloud email settings manually in Snow Leopard or Leopard
    Once migrated, your mail will also be available at http://icloud.com
    Strictly speaking Snow Leopard cannot sync your calendars: there is an unsupported hack which has worked for some people.
    If you can't, or don't want to, upgrade to Lion you might be interested in BusyCal, which is an iCal-like calendar application with extra facilities: it can sync with the iCloud Calendar while running on Leopard, Snow Leopard or Lion. A single user licence (two machines allowed) is $49.99.

  • Syncing iCal+Google Calendar+MobileMe: Please Help

    I set up the syncing through CalDav but in iCal it creates a new calendar (which is the Google Calendar). Would I have to delete my original calendar called "Home" and just make the Google Calendar (in iCal) my main calendar? Does it do a good job of syncing both ways? Also, if I do this, does it also sync through MobileMe?
    Thanks

    I have the same issue.I have been using Google Cal for a while and we sync all family stuff on it. Now that I moved to an iPhone, I got it to sync easily to the phone's Calendar app which is virtually the iCal from the MacBook. I have been trying to get my MobileMe account to sync with the calendar from the phone and it will not. I spent about 1 1/2 hours with Apple's chat service last night trying to sort it out. It doesn't work. All the right toggles and buttons are at the right sport but MobileMe simply won't communicate with the phone's calendar. The Apple guy wonders if it's because it's a 3way sync instead of the same (iCal) syncing in different areas.
    Did you get any other tips?

  • Is it possible to edit your site remotely, without using MobileMe?

    ...please tell me there's [free] a way to do this without MobileMe (which I believe is the awesome, though dreaded, $100/yr program offered by Apple)? Please let me know.

    MobileMe has nothing do to with creating and editing a site with iWeb. but you do need a Mac computer running iWeb and have a current copy of the Domain.sites2 file that was used to create the site. If this is what you mean this online MacWorld article might be of interest: Managing an iWeb site from multiple Macs.

  • Sync playcounts without using "autofill"?

    Hi, folks - I'm new to this, but it appears to me that using the "autofill" setting in iTunes will do 2 things:
    (a) Pull in new play-counts & "last played" dates for the songs in my iPod nano and sync/update those songs in my computer's iTunes library, and -
    (b) prevent me from filling my nano manually with my own music or playlists.
    I love (a), but I'm not a big fan of (b). Is there a way to keep iPod/iTunes playcounts in sync WITHOUT also using "autofill"? Can I use one without the other, or is it all or nothing?
    thanks

    I let iTunes automatically sync to my nano (I'm too lazy to manually manage music transfers)
    In iTunes, I set my nano to sync to specific playlists (both regular & smart playlists). During syncing playcount information and play date is transfered back and forth between the nano and iTunes.
    I find this feature very useful with a particular smartplayslist of mine, "forgotten songs" that populates itself based on playcounts (playcount = 0, limits content to songs never played entirely, combine this with a fixed GB cap, the playlist never gets bigger than my nano)
    With this approach, everytime I listen to music from the playlist (either on the nano of iTunes), the playcount gets updated in iTunes, and the next sync results in this song disapearing from the playlist, and being replaced by another song. When I sync with my nano, I get a fresh batch of forgotten music to rediscover!
    Once all songs have been listened to once, I can reset the playcount criteria to 1 and start all over.
    Another note: when I hear a real gem or a real turkey, I assign one or five stars to the song on the nano. This automatically places these recently ranked 5-star songs in another smartplaylist "best tunes".
    The turkeys I can search out from the iTunes library and "wish them into the cornfield".

  • Bidirectional syncing iCal/GoogleCalendar using new Calaboration

    Google has posted and application, Calaboration (http://code.google.com/p/calaboration/downloads/list), that allows bi-directional syncing between iCal and Google Calendar via WebDav.
    I have installed Calaboration but am having trouble getting my iCal calendars to show up in GC. The other direction is no problem.
    I have read on other forums that some others have the same problem while still others seem to be able to sync properly.
    When I try to publish to GC from iCal I get a message that says that my login name and password are invalid even though I know they are correct.
    If anyone has successfully synced both ways, could you please describe what you did in detail especially your iCal publishing settings.
    Thanks

    Yes, I think Calaboration just takes your existing google calendar and makes it visible in iCal. I'm using it and it basically means that I can add an event to my google calendar in iCal (say, when I'm not connected to the internet), and then when I'm connected to the internet again, that event will be added to my google calendar. I find it useful because I'm using nuevasync to keep my Gcal synched with my iphone calendar over the air, and with Calaboration I can use the handy features in my Mac's Mail program to automatically add events to my google calendar from dates and times in e-mails.
    However what I cannot seem to do is edit an event that was created on google calendar in iCal. I can add events in iCal and edit them there and in Gcal, but if I added the event in Gcal, it will appear in iCal but I can't edit it. Not sure what I'm doing wrong there.

  • How to sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?

    Hello,
    How can I sync iCal between iPhone and MacBookPro without MobileMe?
    I'm still using MobileMe, but I will stop soon.
    I'm using my iPhone in India a lot to create new events or to add new contacts. At the end of the day I would like to able to sync it with my MacBookPro without using MobileMe. Internet Connection is often very bad in that area. The iPhone I only use without UMTS and all that Data Transfering stuff. Best for me would be to sync directly by wire or Bluetooth if possible. If you have a solution with and without Internet Connection, that would be very helpfull to me.

    On the Mac, in iTunes with iPhone attached, click on the iPhone section. Go to the "info" tab. There you will see a list of items that can be synced. Make sure that "sync addressbook contacts" is checked, along with the appropriate choices under it.
    Don't know what else to say, it works fine here.
    Hope this helps.

  • Syncing iCal calendar todos with Mobile Me todos

    Hi
    I am using 10.5.8.
    Omnifocus will only sync my todos with the iCal calendar on my Mac.
    I use and sync events with Mobile Me.
    Is there anyway I can sync the iCal Calendar todos on my local mac with one of my MobleMe calendars?
    Thanks
    Gus

    This will be no consolation. But I'm having the same problem. For me the issue began when I signed up for the MobileMe iCal beta (at least I think that's the culprit).
    I was no longer able to sync iCal to the MobileMe server after the update (and I kept getting an error message in iCal). I downgraded back to the "regular" MobileMe iCal and got the iCal on my iMac up and running again.
    However, now I don't seem to be able to sync my iPhone with Mobile me. I've turned it off from settings and turned it back on, but it's not working.

  • Syncing selected calendars with MobileMe

    I use several calendars in iCal on my MacBook to schedule different events and locations at work. I want to sync only a few of these calendars to my iPhone. I can do this when sycning with iTunes, but with MobileMe it seems that I must sync all or none. Is there a way to sync selected calendars using MobileMe?

    Hello;
    I sync a Macbook and 2 iPhones via MobileMe. However the 2 iPhones receive the same alerts (reminders) for the events or appointments.
    Is it possible to sync only certain appointments to one iPhone and others to the second iPhone? It just doesnt make sense to receive the same alerts in the two iPhones since they are in different Calendars in the iCal?
    Thanks!

  • Is there any way to find a lost iPod Touch 4G without using Find My iPhone or MobileMe? By using the serial number or the iTunes account synced in it?

    No.

  • How can I sync iCal 4.04 with iCloud/Mobileme?

    I have a MacBook Pro  running OSX 10.6.8. I also have an iPhone 5s and iPad.  I can get the iPhone and iPad to sync calendars automatically using iCloud but when I try to set up my MacBook to use iCloud it shows me Mobileme options but not iCloud.  I want my iCal on my Mac to automatically update calendars and contacts just like my iPhone and iPad does.  Is it possible or are the operating systems and iCal versions not "high" enough?
    I can use the iCloud website to show me an updated calendar but not iCal.
    Any ideas?

    MobileMe does not exist anymore, and you need to upgrade to Mac OS X 10.7.4 or later to use iCloud.
