Syncing Multiple Devices and Cals

We have between us an iMac, iPad, and both of us have an iPhone 4S. We both have a calendar each but can view them both on all devices (we have one each so we know who's event it is).
I would like it so when one of us creates an event (mostly on our iPhones) it automatically adds it to the other persons iPhone, i.e. if my partner adds an event in her iPhone calendar it will appear in mine without having to sync via the iMac. Can I do this via iCloud even if we both have unique iCloud accounts?
Thanks in advance.

You can each share your calendar with the other's account. Please see this page and expand 'Share a private calendar or reminder list with specific people':

ICloud Sync - Multiple devices and one AppleID

So your contacts and calendar will sync automatically between your Mac, iPhone, iPad. And you can backup your stuff. And it does this based on your AppleID.
I, like I suspect many others, have an iPhone and iPad for me and my significant other. And we have two Macs. We both used the same AppleID. We clearly would not want to "merge" our contacts and calendars, or any backups.
Why do we share an AppleID? So we only have to purchase music, iOS apps, Mac apps, once for the family. Multiple AppleIDs is not an option as that negates a primary benefit of the Apple ecosystem. Apple has been pretty family friendly up to this point. You can share an AppleID with 5 devices today (if you have that many Macs or PCs), in my case we are talking 2. And they did still say you can buy Lion in the app store and use it on all your AppleID authorized machines.
I suppose you could maybe just turn all that stuff off and forget the iCloud part of Lion and iOS5. But I have to believe that is going to cut out a significant segment of the population from using iCloud services.
Anyone know how Apple is going to handle that situation?

OK, here is how do make this work. All the details I can think of to give . ..
On any IOS device there is an entry for the Apple ID to be used for store purchases. You will find this in Settings > Store.
On any IOS device there are several Apple ID entries for using iCloud services. You will find these in Settings > iCloud and Settings > Messages.
Then there are also Apple ID entries in some apps, like Facetime, Find my Friends, . . .
Set them as you wish. If you have a shared family Apple ID for purchases then put that one in Store. And give each family member their own Apple ID for iCloud.
This is also true on your Mac. For the iCloud settings you can use one Apple ID, and a different one for the iTunes store.
Cannot get any easier than that.
In my case I am using one Apple ID for the Store, and separate iCloud Apple IDs for each family member. That way someone does not use the wrong ID and trash the person who would be using the Store Apple ID. There is no personal data on the Store Apple ID. Seems much safer and logical that way (to me). However, there is no reason why you could not have the Store Apple ID also be used by one person for iCloud.
Not sure what else can be said here. Apple provided a good solution for those of us who have been sharing an Apple ID in the family. Thanks Apple!

Sync multiple devices owned by other family members to one iTunes account

I am wondering if it is OK since we have one imac computer running iTunes in the house, but I have an iphone and ipad, my son has an iphone, my daughter has and ipod, and my wife has an iphone, if it is OK to be syncing all of our devices under MY login in iTunes. Or should I log out of iTunes and have that particular person log in to iTunes each time we sync? Not sure how that would work though when each device is set up to sync over wifi if I stay logged in on the computer and in iTunes. I just hate to see all the apps in the apps section of the iTunes/Devices/Sync Apps. Not a problem though since it does keep them seperate...most of the time. I mean, it seems as though a few times I have hooked up a device and it corrupted my sync causing all my newly synced devices to change the apps. Only happened a few times. This is kind of vague info, but it hasn't happened only a few times and I don't know how better to explain it. The main question here is as stated in the beginning.
Also, on a seperate note that I'll rant about in a seperate listing, I really hate the fact that I have to login into iTunes with a third party (Gmail) email address. I converted over from a PC and from Google Android to a Mac and iPhone, iPad, iPod, Apple TV....and I have set up everyone with @me.com addresses, but we can't login to iTunes/Apple ID with them.

That doesnt apply very well. Everyone in my family has a separate account. Although for the main home sharing and apple tv it is off my account. I suppose that it is a good thing that we use one pc since everything stored on the hard rive that I sync to iTunes is then available for any user to sync to there device. Ie; home videos, movies ripped from DVD, CDs, etc...plus I have one original,iPod touch with no cloud support. I just synced it to my itunes on our one pc and it transferred to my pc over 640 purchases. Albeit they were all free, but now I have to sift through them all in the iTunes/devices/sync apps screen. Oh well. It actually seems as though the way I'm doing it is the best for my family of six with many multiple devices and im sure more to come in time. Again I can always sign out and let someone else sign into iTunes. A plus this way since still all my media is on my pc and network storage drive.

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes without apps that are only on an iPad Air not sync on other devices?

How do I sync multiple devices on iTunes (iPad Air & iPhone 5) without apps that are only on an iPad Air not syncing on my iPhone 5? I have apps on the iPad that I do not want on the iPhone, but when I sync my iPhone I have apps that are on the iPad sync to it also. How do I fix this so only the apps/data on each device sync to it?

Settings
iTUnes and app store
turn off automatic downloads for apps
Then what you buy on one device only goes onto another if you want it to

Help in custom syncing multiple devices

How can I custom sync multiple devices - iPod touch, iPad, iPhone - with laptop? I don't want all the same material on each device and in the past have either deleted items I wanted on a device when I synced or put all library stuff - music, tv, books - on all devices...neither is what I want. Can you offer advice?

When you connect one of them to your computer, select it on the left-hand side of your computer's iTunes under 'Devices', and you can then use the tabs on the right-hand side of iTunes to select which of your content to sync to the device i.e. which apps, music, tv shows, films etc. You can then repeat that for your other devices and iTunes should remember your selections for each device, so the next time you connect that device to it those selections should be populated on those tabs - I sync my iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch to the same computer's iTunes and I have different content on each.

HT1351 Syncing multiple devices on one iMac

Need help on syncing multiple devices with different content on one iMac so each device remains unique. How's is that done? Do not want apps copied over, I want each device to have its own apps pictures music etc....

Plug your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad into iTunes via the USB dock cable.
Find it listed under Devices in the left sidebar and click on it.
Go through the tabs on the top of the iTunes window and select the music, movies, apps, podcasts, etc. you want to sync.
Your selection can include none, all/automatic, or just the exact content you wish.
Sync!
Repeat with all yourdevices.
Or you can do this:
Option+Click on the iTunes icon and choose Create Library and go from there.
Switching library is just an Option+Click away, this means you can choose 2 diff libraries.

I do not speak English very well, however, I do write in English with the aid of the Mac OS X spelling and grammar checks. I also live in a culture perhaps very very different from your own. When offering advice in the ASC, my comments are not meant to be anything more than helpful and certainly not to be taken as insults.
The only way to permanently remove an app is to delete the app from iTunes on your computer and delete the app from every device that has the app. If you don't, then when the devices are synced to the computer it will be transfered back to the iTunes library on the computer from the device.

I have an iPhone and iPad. I would like to get my husband an iPhone. Are we able to sync all devices and share info with both iPhones and the iPad, using a single email address?

Thanks for that. He is one of the last holdouts in IT so an email address for him would just mean I have 2 to check so that is what I am trying to avoid as we move into retirement:)

You will need to setup a new Apple ID for your sister. You have to have an Apple ID and iDevice connected and using that account to get an iCloud account.

Palm Treopro--Sync multiple calendars and task lists

Post relates to: Treo Pro T850 (Sprint)

I just upgraded to Pre 2 a couple weeks ago and have been experiencing similar problems with my Verizon model and a replacement. Apparently it is widespread; there is a lengthy (11 pages so far) thread on it in this Community forum. Try http://palm.lithium.com/t5/Synergy-webOS/strange-behavior-syncing-Pre2-Calendar-with-Google-Calendar... or Google the phrase "strange behavior syncing Pre 2 Google" (look for a search response that references "11 pages" or you'll miss some of the more recent posts). Not sure there are any good answers at the moment. Very disappointing if so; the Google/Pre sync worked flawlessly on my Pre Plus for the past 15 months (webOS v.1.4.5)

Very true ! My main point was to show how easy it was to sync. I still think apple has a way to go to make this a great tool. It was fast to edit but when I want to send somthing to AE 5.5 it was a nightmare. I do I love how it organizes keywords and the color correction tools are good if you want to do it your self (check out this site http://www.colorgradingcentral.com/final-cut-pro-x-color-grading-table-of-conten ts ) it will be a great program if apple listens to all the comments but does not make it too complicated the you cant create quickly.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the device and noticed that some photos and some movies from iPhoto on my laptop were not transferred to my iPhone.

How do you export photos and movies from iPhoto to your iPhone? I synced the devices and noticed that some photos and movies on my laptop iPhoto were not transferred to my iPhone?

I am not sure, which answer you found - so just in case:
If you sync your iPhone with the iPhoto library, the photos will only stay on the iPhone until the next sync and they are not in the Camera Roll. If you transfer using the Photo Stream, they will only be vidsible in the stream, until they are replaced in iCloud by newer content.
So, if you want to transfer the photos permanently, save them to the Camera Roll.

How do i sync multiple devices (2 iphones, 2 iPads = all running iOS5) to one iMac (current Lion OS) and allow each to have separate calendars and contacts?

In my home we have 2 users with iphones and 2 users with iPad's. We are updating everything to iOS5 and have the most current Lion OS running (10.7.2). I have a MobileMe family pack so each has own e-mail account (@me.com), but only two are currently syncing calendars/contacts with MobileMe.
We want each device to sync with one iMac and to share all iTunes content (music, movies, TV shows), BUT have each sync individual calendars, contacts, and e-mail.
Is this possible, and if so what are the steps to set up properly?
Thanks in advance.

Hey,
I don't have a family pack, but I would imagine this would simply be a case of syncing the devices in iTunes as you normally would for media.
As for the iCloud (@Me) accounts, on each device open Settings > Mail, Con, Cal > Add Account > iCloud > enter each individual @me email address in the Apple ID field (Apple ID password also).
Sync what you wish from the options :-)
See Apple's FAQ's about the MobileMe transistion to iCloud
