Way to sync files, photos, calendars, contacts, etc. between 2 macs?

Is there a way to sync files (in a folder), photos (in iPhoto), music (in iTunes), calendars (in iCal), etc. between my laptop and my desktop? I would like a simple solution that does not require me, for example, to export photos from iPhoto on one computer and copy them over and input them onto the other computer. I am also not interested in a web solution (like MobileMe). Is there any way to do this?

I am using Chronosync. It's not a freeware but very powerful and easy to handle. I do synchronize my documents (3GB) between 3 Mac's and one Windows server 2003. One way, two way, what ever you want. After selecting first what and how to synchronize you can store this kind off automated script with a name. For example, docsync.sync. Next time you double click the icon, the program chronosync starts and synchronizes the selected folders. It's a OSX program, but it synchronizes over network folders from different platforms. I love it, it's the best tool I ever had.

What is the best way to sync an Outlook calendar, contacts, etc. with a Moto X?

I am willing to buy syncing software if it works. From what I have seen it appears I need software that syncs to Google and then it will be on my phone. Is this correct? Or is there a better way?

I know how convenient it is to have everything synched on your device sooosally. We support Backup Assistant Plus/Verizon Cloud as the primary option to backup your contacts and media. I have provided additional information below to assist you.

For syncing outlook and Google, I recommend searching the Play Store for specific apps.

My wife and I have shared one iTunes account for 6 years. We want to create our own Apple IDs, so when we sync to our new iMac we won't see each others contacts, photos, calendar, music, etc. Is there a way to move music/apps from one ID to a new ID?

No.
One of you create a new AppleID and one use the existing AppleID.
But you can still use the items in each iTunes library.
Create separate computer logins for each of you.
This will give you each your own data. Contacts, calendars, photos, etc. (and your own iTunes library).

You can't, there is no connection between the services, use one or the other.

With Outlook 2003, 2007, or 2010 only along with syncing contacts and notes.

Resetting the settings will reset things like the wallpaper to the default. It wont remove the apps or music.
As the previous poster said, the apps and music will be tied to the previous owners Apple ID, you'll need the password to update the apps and remain authorized to play the music.
I would suggest taking your stuff off (the camera pictures) then erasing all content and settings so the iPad is like new. For privacy reasons alone I would erase the device. I realise you want to keep the music, but since you haven't paid for it (it was purchased under someone elses ID) then it isn't yours to keep, you'll need to write down the tracks and purchase them under your ID.

What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users?

(I originally submitted this question under the "Mac OS X Technologies" section, but got no response. I'm submitting a duplicate here because this is where all the smart folks are! My apologies that my question is only partially related to OS X Server . . . )
What is the best way to sync multiple collections of contacts among multiple users on iOS and OS X?
For example, suppose I have three collections of contacts: Bob's, Sally's, and Common. I want Bob to be able to access and sync Bob's contacts and Common contacts, and Sally to access and sync Sally's contacts and Common contacts. Bob and Sally never need to access or sync each other's contacts. Bob and Sally would both sync and share contacts in Common.
How would I best implement this? It's my understanding I have three options for managing contacts across iOS and OS X: 1. iCloud accounts, 2. Install OS X server, or 3. Install and manage Darwin CardDAV directly. Which method would best support what I wish to do?
I am a seasoned Unix geek well versed in the terminal, so I am prepared to get my hands dirty as much as necessary to achieve what I want. Also, it is sufficient if syncing takes place over WiFi on the local network, in fact, that is desirable versus syncing over the cloud.

Thanks for your reply Nick101. I see my example was oversimplified. When I say "multiple groups of contacts over multiple users" I'm really referring to N groups of contacts over N users.
So I need to add Fred, who can access and sync Bob's contacts, Sally's contacts, and Common contacts, as well as Fred's contacts. Can I do it with OS X server?
You mention you keep your and your partner's contacts administered locally. What keeps you from administering them through OS X server as well?
I am guessing this can all somehow be accomplished with multiple contact accounts, but I can't find any information on the web explicitly describing this.

The folders of Outlook (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, etc-) are in English but I'm using a Arabic version of Outlook

Dear All
The folders of Outlook (Inbox, Calendar, Contacts, etc…) are in English but I’m using a Arabic version of Outlook .how I can change the folders to Arabic .
Thank you .

Use the /resetfoldernames switch to reset the default folder names (such as Inbox or Sent Items) to default names in the current Office user interface language.
Close Outlook. Use Windows key + R to open the Run command, type or paste
outlook.exe /resetfoldernames into the box and press enter. (If you type it, there is a space before /)

Iphone 3 dropped in salt water. Appears non-functional - won't turn on. Nothing on SIM card -- had that checked. Is there ANY way to retrieve the photos and contacts. There is no backup of them.

leave the phone in rice for >24 hours to see if it will recover
you can check itunes as well to see if there are backups there from the top of the screen hit edit (itunes on mac) > preferences > devices , and see if a backup is listed
also check icloud.com to see if you had any of the information backed up there (only possible if have have a 3gs or higher)
also there are data recovery companies that can recover data even from wrecked hard drives but its not cheap, if your interested in that I would say lookup a company called drivesavers, I believe they are authorized to work on even in warranty iphones
good luck

Unfortunately not if you use separate ID's for your iCloud accounts.
