Re: [apple-iphone] Re: Calendar syncing iPhone from two computers

 

With the new iPhone XS using duffel Sims, 1 phone should be enough. One can have 2 calendars on the phone as well.

Thanks Dave. 


Now this is sense! Though, being retired, I no longer have a secretary. I have been thinking that just using the iphone is the answer (but without any sort of backup??) Or getting an ipad to use only as backup to the phone? I do like the Calendar app on my iphone (and the Contacts too) more than I like Outlook.

Irrelevant to this thread but relevant to secretaries' efficiency is the tale of my colleague (I was a hospital specialist). He arrived in the office one morning and his secretary said "What are you doing here? What's wrong?" On querying why he should not be "at work" she pointed out that he was supposed to be in Leeds, two hundred miles away, at a conference (that's a day's journey away in the densely-populated UK). He famously did not listen to his sec!

I'm confident other people have run into this issue.

I'm starting a new position shortly (I think - waiting for the final offer). The company is BYOD optional. My choice is between carrying a personal phone and a company phone or one for both purposes.

My issue is calendars. I've been through this rodeo before and there is only one correct answer: your secretary owns your calendar and you show up when and where she tells you. If you don't get that you haven't had a good secretary.

Here is my issue. I have a lot of music and videos and podcasts on my computer at home. I have a lot of personal commitments on my calendar. My secretary will "own" my time during the day and realistically beyond that (travel for example). I don't have a problem commingling entries - if I don't trust a secretary s/he won't be my secretary.

Ideally I would plug my phone into my computer at home and sync calendar, music, videos, podcasts, ebooks, etc. Plug into my computer at work (remember that Outlook allows access delegations through Exchange so my secretary can schedule on my office calendar from her desktop) and sync there to move all my home calendar items to the office and office items to the phone.

Constraints: no cloud. No iCloud, no Google Drive, no Google Calendar, no OneDrive. No cloud. There are too many security sensitivities to let data outside positive physical control. I greatly prefer using the Apple calendar app but I'll shift as long as it can be the default and launch things like Google Maps/Waze without too much trouble from addresses, and phone calls at least native and hopefully Google Voice.

Has anyone gotten this to work? Ideas? If I can't do it my options are two phones or a 3x5 index card with my schedule on it.
