How can I sync iPad with Outlook?

How can I sync iPad with Outlook?

Connect your iPad to your computer and open iTunes. Look under 'info' and you may need to scroll down. The option will be there to sync your outlook calendar (or more) with the iPad. Choose what you want and sync to 'save' the settings.

HELP! My iPad can't sync due to an unknown error.

When I try to sync my iPad 2, I get an error alet saying "The iPad cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1140)".
I restored the iPad to its original settings. It then tried to restore my apps, video, etc. from my back up. Before completing this process, I got the same error alert again ( "The iPad cannot be synced. An unknown error occurred (1140)").
How do I get my iPad back to working again?

Hi Fermendzin,
Here is a recommendation for fixing this error from an earlier post:
Download and install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update, which was just released today. It may be the answer to your problems:
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1598
Be sure that neither iTunes nor iPhoto is running when you install the iPhoto 9.4.1 update. After installing the update, then restart iTunes and iPhoto. By default, "All photos" is selected. Change this (it's no longer grayed out) to "Selected albums..." and you should be OK.
Hope this works!
Cheers,

Can't sync Photos to iPod - Unknown Error (-50)

Earlier I was not able to sync my iPhoto library to my iPod via iTunes because I would get the error message "...Unknown Error (-50)".
I have solved my problem, but I thought I would share my experience so Apple can fix the problem and other people can benefit from my work around until the problem is fixed.
The problem seems to stem from iPhoto's AlbumData.xml file getting bad XML syntax. iPhoto can read this bad XML syntax and function, but iTunes can't handle it.
I imported some photos into iPhoto that had some keywords that were entered via Google Picasa. These keywords some how caused iPhoto to put bad syntax in the AlbumData.xml file. To get the XML file correct, I used iPhoto to identify the offending photos and keywords. I think replaced the photo's keywords with keywords I created in iPhoto and deleted the Picasa generated keywords from my iPhoto Library using iPhoto's preferences page.
Ironically, iPhoto worked fine and it was iTunes that could not handle the bad XML file (funny, I thought iTunes would be making API calls to iPhoto and not reading the XML file directly - so much for software reuse).
Hopefully, Apple will fix this problem in future iPhoto and iTune fixes. After all, those darn "Hi, I am Mac..." commercials claim that Apple so is much better then MS. Seems like Apple's software has odors too.
Just sharing,
Donald

Donald B:- This fix worked a treat! Thanks.
Gravity Addict:- I was lucky that the problem obviously occurred after my last import so I only had to look at 60 pictures.
In the 'Photos' menu click 'Get Info' to show the Info window with 'Keywords' highlighted. For me it was obvious that I had two keywords associated with these pictures that I had not put in, so just deleted these from the iPhoto preferences. Hope this works for you.

Hello CaitlinDeneen
If you are having issues with syncing, check out the article below to resolve issues with. It may be relating to backing up your data first before the sync happens.

Sync iPad with Mac and PC

I want to sync my iPad with both my Mac and PC and it must not delete stuff from the other machine.

iOS devices are primarily designed to be synced with one computer only. See: http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1474
If you manually manage your media, rather than automatically sync it, you can kind of do what you want.
If your two computers are both on the same network, use iTunes Home Sharing feature.

Can you sync Ipad with more than one computer?

I am just curious, can I associate my Ipad with more than 1 computer. I have a desktop and a laptop both with itunes and same library. Can I sync the Ipad on both computers without it totally erasing the Ipad or should I only sync it on one computer?
Than kyou in advance for the help.

In theory - If the libraries are identical, yes it should work. Keeping the libraries identical might become a little challenging. You may want to make sure that you always manually transfer purchases whenever you sync to each computer to make sure that all content is always being transferred into each iTunes library and I would think that you would want to backup each time you sync as well. And you might want to sync with the one computer right after you sync with the other computer so that all of your data remains intact in the backups of both computers.
You can always check by giving it a try and see of you get the "this iPad have been synced to a different computer" message and see what happens. If the message pops up, just cancel and don't sync.
However, I wouldn't recommend doing this unless you absolutely have to for some reason.

IPhone synced w/win-new mac now-can i sync info with mac

OK, so I've had my iPhone always sync with my windows computer and now i bought a macbook pro but I'm unsure if i try to sync up all my information will my iphone be erased or will it transfer it to my mac?

Before you sync with the new MacBook for the first time: Make sure you put at least one contact into Address Book, and one calendar entry into iCal. Uncheck the checkboxes for syncing music, videos, etc (because you can only sync music to one computer). Then when you sync, make sure you choose the "merge" option. All of the contacts and calendar entries in your phone will populate to Address Book and iCal, respectively.

Can't sync Palm with Mac through iSync, only syncs with Palm Desktop

I have an older Palm Tungsten T3 that I use basically only to run a medical application that I need at work (ePocrates, which has its own conduit and auto-updates itself with hotsyncs). I haven't tried to sync it to my Mac for a long time. I use iCal for my calendaring needs, sync it with my iPod, and ignore the old stuff that's on the Palm, which I hardly ever even sync.
Today I had to reinstall the Epocrates software, and decided while I was at it I'd try to get the Palm syncing with the Mac (iCal, contacts, etc) again because it would be nice for it to show the same calendar data.
I reinstalled the newest version of Palm Desktop from scratch. Installed the ePocrates software on top of it. I have iSync 2.4. My Palm was not listed as a device initially. I chose "Enable Palm OS Syncing" from the menu; iSync then went through a series of steps in which it disabled several conduits (presumably to no longer sync with the Palm Desktop), then told me to enable the iSync Palm conduit through the HotSync manager, which I did.
I now show the Palm as a device on iSync, but it has a yellow caution icon over it and I'm not sure why. Clicking on it shows an options dialog. I chose for the first sync I wanted to erase everything on the device and then sync with the Mac. My syncs appear to work, but when the data is checked it seems to sync only with Palm Desktop. The old junky data on the Palm was not erased as requested. Newer calendar events and contacts from my Mac have not made it to the Palm. The ePocrates auto update conduit is working fine but that's the only part that is.
Any idea what's incompatible, or what I'm doing wrong here?

I have The Missing Sync and used it to sync my palm TX. I am now in the process of trying to get iCal going properly again. No longer have any calender views in iCal and the week views don't show until I have opened a month view and then go back to the week view. Very bizzare. Also have a heap of untitled calendar views in the drop down list option when looking at the info on any event - these calendar views are not accessible anywhere else though.
I'm not sure if it is Missing Sync or something I did wrong at present. Will also throw the problem to the Missing Sync people to see what they say. Will let you know. It seemed to work really well without needing the palm desktop!

When I sync iPad with Mac my photos are not loaded

I Recently erased my Mac prior I backed it up to an external drive when I reloaded the information when I sync my Ipad the photos I have on the iPad are not there

I'm not sure where the photos aren't - after syncing are they not on your iPad, or are expecting syncing to copy them from your iPad to your Mac ?
If not on the iPad then what type of photos are they ? If they were originally synced from your Mac then did your restore of your Mac put those photos back where they were on your Mac, and they are still selected on the iPad's Photos tab in your iTunes for syncing to the iPad ?

Can't sync iPad with Outlook 2010 since creating iCloud account

Ever since I created an iCloud account, my iPad will not sync my calendar with my Dell laptop running Windows 7 and Outlook 2010. It worked fine prior to adding the cloud. I have done a hard reset of the iPad with no luck either. I only use one Apple device (iPad). Do i even need a cloud account as I sync/backup my iPad to my laptop and Android phone daily? Help, I need to get my info back on the iPad.

I was able to fix it somehow by deleting the calendars on my iPad and iPhone and turning off iCloud calendar it finally let me select outlook calendar to sync by also selecting to replace calendar in advanced settings. But only by selecting both. It only took 6 months for Apple to allow me to do so because I have selected the outlook calendar before and wouldn't sync.
I have Windows 7 and MS Outlook 10

Can't sync iPad with iTunes after W7 clean install

i had some PC problems & had to do a clean install. i had no problems at all with itunes & my iPad before that. my iPhone 4 synced perfectly fine (except for a few apps being lost, but no biggy), but my iPad 2 won't sync at all. i'm okay with losing apps just to get this thing to work, but here's what happens step-by-step...
i plug the iPad into my PC
i back it up successfully
i right-click on my iPad on the left side & hit Sync
nothing happens! there's not even an option for Apps on the left-hand panel.
what can i do?
thanks!

Hello,
You can try selecting the manual sync option which will give you a prompt that this will erase all data on your ipad and replace with your library. Once done, you can enable atomatic sync and try again.
Thanks,

Can't Sync IPad with ICal

I tried using MobileMe for about 1 day. I set everything up as I was instructed. After reading about issues people had with MobileMe, I decided not to continue to use it.
I "de-activated" it, thought everything was fine however now everytime I connect my Ipad and Iphone to my computer to sync through ITunes, the calendar info does not sync. Nothing transfers from my Mac ICal to my IPad or IPhone and nothing transfers from my "I" devices to the Mac.
Now what?! Any suggestions on how I might be able to get my devices to sync again?
Thanks!
Ehren

I want add to myself to the list of having this problem so hopefully apple will see it..iMac also , mobile me for two years and just started with last upgrade I was a beta user of the cal also
