Want to share just calendar between two iphones--will icloud do this?

The title really says it all. My husband and I both have iPhone 3GS and we want to share a calendar and hope to have it update without having to sync to the PC. Is this what iCloud will do if we choose to only turn on the calendar portion? We share an iTunes account already and sync on the same PC. Thanks so much.

Yes, You should see each others calenders. When in the calender app the top bar will show how many calenders sre showing. It will be either a number or all or no calenders. Tap on the "calenders" button in the upper left of the screen. That will show a list of all the calenders available. You can also add a calender by tapping the "edit" button and then "add calender".

HT204053 I would like to share a calendar between my iPhone 4 and my win8 pc with outlook 2010.

I would like to share a calendar between my iPhone 4 and my win8 pc with outlook 2010. I would like to clear all of the confusion between the 2 systems and use the iCloud calendar for everything so if I change an event on one device it will change on the other automatically.

Hello davidrk49
All you need to do is install iCloud Control Panel for Windows, this will enable the ability to sync iCloud data to your computer.

Either iTunes or outlook is mixing contacts and calendars between two iphones

I've been having this problem for a while now and have endlessly combed the internet for an answer without a result. Either I can't find it or the answer isn't there.
I have an iPhone 5, my husband has an iPhone 4. We have a laptop running windows 7. Latest iTunes and Outlook 2007.
We have seperate user accounts on the computer and we have seperate apple ID. The only thing we share is the computer, the music and some apps.
The problem is that when we sync our phones to the computer it somehow mixes up our contacts and calendars, Thats it. Nothing else gets mixed. It is extremely frustrating. I'm almost certain it has something to do with Outlook but can't for the life of me figure out how to fix this problem. Every answer I have found says it should stay seperate if there are different accounts and ID. But this is not so. Can someone please please please help me. I'm really sick of getting his calendar alerts, and thinking its my mum ringing when its his mum (both stored as mum). The only thing I can do at the moment is go into my outlook, fix it all up and replace everything on my phone. But as soon as hubbys phone syncs with his user account it gets all mixed up again. Frustrated!!

Hi limelioness,
It is a known bug and there is not solution to date. The only option is to not use the same device in different social networks or applications that use contacts. Keep separated Outlook from Facebook or Linkedin.
There are problems of synchronization between Outlook and other applications that use contacts to sync to mobile devices. In our company we found that iPhone generates some processing of contacts at the time that synchronize with Outlook and other social networks. Mixes the contact data and generates corrupted contacts with other users data. The solution is to use the device only with Outlook, without social networks.
This problem has happened at least 10 phones and all of them have chosen to use only with Outllook . There is no way to solve this problem, at least so we are told technicians after reporting the problem several.
I hope this help you.
Best Regards
Adele.

Can we share iCal calendars between two accounts?

I've set our new Mac up with two admin. accounts and logins. One for my wife and one for me. (Not to mention four others for our sons!)
After getting iCal squared away in my account, I logged off and back into my wife's account in to be sure the events and calendars I'd created were available to her. No luck! Just the same old Work and Home defaults...boo.
Please advise!

Mwether,
Welcome to Apple Discussions.
BusySync offers that capability for a fee.
It has a 30 day trial mode.

How do i share a calendar between iphone and ipad

I have an iPad 1 and my wife has an iPhone4. Both devices are running iOS5.01. I want to share the calendars so that we can both see each others' calendars. In iCloud we are using the same Apple ID for both devices to facilitate a storage account.
Calendars are turned on in iCloud in each device. The iPhone can see calendar entries from the iPad but the iPad does not see calendar entries from the iPhone. Any suggestions on how to fix this?
When I go into iCloud Calendars are ON for both devices. But how does this relate to calendars in Settings-Mail, Contacts and Calendars that are listed under iCloud and also under all email accounts on the device.
Am I the only one who finds this very confusing?

A couple of more points. When I log into icloud.com I only see the iPad calendar entries, not the iPhone entries.
Is the calendar tied to the Apple ID to an email address or what? The iPhone did have a Mobile Me account but I deleted that since it wasn't being used and that didn't change anything.
Note that Photo Stream is turned on and works perfectly between both devices and also Windows PC.
When I click in the icon on the cal

Is there any way to share music between two iPhones ?

I want to share music between two iPhones with different apple IDs , isn't there any method to do that without itunes ?

In general, the catalog that is open when you do Export As Catalog is where the settings are, and the catalog that is open when you do Import From Catalog is where the settings aren't, yet, but will be after the Import. Your assumptions appear to be correct for your particular example.

I want to know what for is the "Sync" button in Lightning and if there is a way to sync my LOCAL Lightning calendars between two computers. Thanks

sync is about synchronizing network calendars. Simply create a network calendar and synchronize it on multiple machines and forget local calendars.

HT2736 I have a $100 card from apple when I bought a macbook this summer. I want to share the amount between my two kids -- 1 who has I-pad, other kid has macbook. They have their own apple ID's assoc. w/ their device. May I pass on the balance to them

A gift card can only be redeemed onto one account, it can't be split between accounts and it can't be used to gift amounts and/or items to other accounts (gifting can only be done via a credit card).

How do my partner and I share our calendars on our iPhones?

Hello. I am completely new to all of this so I apologise if I don't follow any protocols correctly. I would love some help to figure out the best way for my partner and I to share our calendars on our iPhones please. I have done a lot of research but I still have no idea where to start. I guess I am leaning towards some kind of app but open to all options. I would love us to be able to view and edit each others calendars and also a "shared" calendar which stores appointments and events that we are both committed to. It would be handy if an event was added to the "shared" events calendar, for it to be automatically added to each of our individual schedules. I should also mention that the apple devices we have are my iPhone 4, my partners iPhone 4s, and also the latest iPad (I think it is a 4 with retina?), but no Mac desktop or laptop computer.
I have read a lot of good things about the app "Fantastical" and like the look of it but not sure if it is a personal calendar or if we can both use it to add and edit from our seperate devices. Doesn't look like it has a task manager though. Also, do I have to have a gmail account to link to these apps? Information that I've read seems to talk about syncing with other calendars but we don't currently use any kind of digital calendar. I would be open to creating one if necessary but if it could all be done in the one app that would be great.
Open to suggestions on other apps - I have downloaded a few free couples ones such as "Avocado", "Cozi" and "Simply Us" to preview and would be open to purchasing full versions if I knew they were right for me - so far it doesn't look to me like there is a big enough emphasis on the calendar feature, they are about messaging and photos which aren't a priority at all for us. Cozi seems to have a lot of the features I'm after, but when I view the "Shared" calendar it shows shared events, but then they do not show up in our individual calendars. Also the To Do section doesn't seem to correspond to days, just a general list, so you can't assign certain tasks to certain days. The features I am after is mainly a calendar with the specifications I have listed above (individual and shared calendars that can all be viewed and edited by both parties, and shared calendar events automatically booked on to individual calendars as well - also daily or weekly views as well as monthly). A To Do or Task Manager feature would also be great, preferably where you could see who added which item to the list, or seperate lists. And lastly, a grocery list that we could both view and update. But I mainly would just like a great shared calendar and a task manager/to do as a bonus!
Does anyone have any advice for me? I think I am after a little more than the standard calendar app that comes with the iPhone? Also, we don't have iCloud set up and have no idea how to do this or really even what it is - as you can see I'm a bit of a beginner and pretty hopeless. Really don't know where to start.
Sorry for the length of this post, I am just very confused! Thank you so much in advance to anyone who is kind enough to take the time to respond.

One more thing sorry, it would also be great if my partner was alerted when I added or edited something, and visa versa. Thanks again.

Hi,
the content was purchased using two different Apple-IDs / Accounts?
If above is the case, then I fear you cannot merge the content using now one combined account. Content always belongs to one dedicated account. As well as a iTunes library can only belong to one dedicated Apple-ID. And also the iPhone can only belong to one dedicated iTunes library and also Apple ID (for the store stuff, for iCloud stuff you can use a second ID)

Trying to share iTunes libraries between two users on one iMac

Ok, so I have two users on my iMac, but I want to share iTunes libraries between the two (so that both have the same music, movies, apps...), but for some reason I can't! So first I tried turning on iTunes while holding option key so that I can open my Library from my user that i'm trying to grab the music and everything else from. But for some reason it said that I didn't have the permissions to (which both ARE admin). So then I went to the Preferences on iTunes and tried to change the directories from where to grab the media from, but it wouldn't let me access my other users music folder, it siad again that I didn't have permissions for this. I'm really fed up, please help me.

Chris, thanks for the reply. Are you telling me that I should move the iTunes folder itself, and not merely the iTunes Media folder, as instructed by the KB article? At this point, I'd be willing to try just about anything, but the KB article specifically states:
Important: Do not move the iTunes folder, the iTunes Library file or the iTunes Library.xml file.
As I stated above, I did exactly what the KB article said to, which is to move the iTunes Media folder (called iTunes Music on my iMac, since the library has been around since pre-iTunes 8 or so) to /Users/Shared, and then go into iTunes Prefs for each user, and under the advanced tab, choose the location of the library for each user. I know that this method does NOT share iTunes library (.itl or .xml, or the other associated files), and doing what you suggest would, but I'm curious if that would cause any problems.
And yes, like I said in the OP, I did check/change all file permissions on that folder appropriately.
Thanks again for the help! Please let me know if I'm reading your suggestion right!

How can I share a folder between two users on the same iMac?

I have an iMac with 2 user accounts and I want to share a folder between them. I have gone on to system preferences>sharing and turned on file sharing. I have also got the 'Get Info' thing up, selected 'Shared Folder' and added the other user to the read and write permissions...it just doesn't show up on the other desktop (the folder is on my desktop, I would have expected to see it on the other desktop...?)
Any ideas?

Thanks, but do you have to do that every time you share a folder?
No, you just need to do it once and that's it. Anything that is in the Shared folder is accessible by all user accounts within the same Mac.

I've read numerous 'how to share a folder' blogs and they just say it's as simple as clicking 'share' and allowing specific users to access it...none have mentioned this (not saying your advice is wrong at all, just don't get why no-one else has mentioned what appears to be a key step!)
Can you give me an example of such a blog. I suspect you may have mis-understood what they were saying but if you can provide a link, I'll look at it.

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook, I also have an Exchange calender on outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 /6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar. How can I get Itunes to see both calendars

I have a personal email calendar kept on Outlook 2010, I also have an Exchange calender on Outlook. I want to sync both calendars with my Iphone 5 / 6.1.2 but ITunes only sees the exchange calendar.
How can I get Itunes to see both calendars?

Hi,
you don't need MobileMe or anything fancy. I personally sync my Outlook calendar and my Outlook address book with three computers (two at the office and one at home)and besides I run Office 2003 on one, Office 2007 on the other and Office 2010 on the third, so it can't get more complicated than that, but it works 100%.
First sync Outlook with iTunes on one computer, having done that when you try to sync it to another machine, iTunes will recognize that it is synced with another computer and ask you if you want to merge the data, say yes, That's all there is to it.
It does not work for music as you rightly say but as far as Calendars and Contacts are concerned it's flawless and transparent.
If you hit a snag talk back to me.
Cheers.

Can I share an Ipod between two User accounts

Trying to share one Ipod between two accounts ! but dont seem to be able to download from different accounts onto Ipod, outside of Ipod original account !!

Other users on the machine should already be able to see the apps assuming they're not installed in a specific users ~/applications folder.
Are they not visible?
If the app is in the ~/applications folder you might want to try moving it to the /applications folder.

Multi ID's want to share contacts, calendar & notes, but need individual ID's for others

Family has multiple iOS and OSX devices all sharing a common Apple ID for iTunes, and we have individual ID's for Message and FaceTime. We all want to share contacts, calendars, notes, reminders and the Find My device feature via Cloud, but found that when we use the shared iTunes ID we all show up as the same person in Air Drop (and possibly other apps too). Is there a way to individualize the devices without loosing the ability to share the desired info? I've searched with no luck. Thank you!

If she created her own iCloud account by going to System Preferences>iCloud on her Mac and signing in with her Apple ID, you could privately share your calendars with each other with read and write access as explained here: http://help.apple.com/icloud/#/mm6b1a9479.
Contacts would be more difficult to share. To access your contacts, she would need to sign into your account and enable contact syncing. However, when she does this, her conacts would be merged with yours. A better solution would probably be to create a Gmail account, import your contacts to the account, and have her add the Gmail account to her Mac and enable contact syncing. This would isolate just the contacts and would not merge hers with yours. If you want to do this, you would need to download your iCloud contacts as a vCard (see http://support.apple.com/kb/PH3606), import the vCard to Gmail (https://support.google.com/mail/answer/183711?hl=en), then add the Gmail account to her Mac in System Preferences>Internet Accounts (Mail,Contacts,Calendars)>Add Account>Google, then check Contacts.

Hello Paul.
Can she sync her iPhone calendar with .Mac over the air (if that makes sense)?
No this is not possible. Over the air syncing is not supported with the iPhone. All syncing is done via a USB connection with a computer through iTunes only.
