How do I sync my iPad with iCal on my Mac or when using a google calendar?

I can't seem to create a calendar on my iPad or my Mac (using google calendar and/or iCal) that will work together to show up in both places.  Any tips?

I used to use Google Calendars before I convertd to iCloud.  Using Google, you can setup a new Exchange Email account on your iPhone.   Under there, select calendars (you can also select contacts is you like, as well as email).  On the Mac, you can add the Google Account and select which calendars to sync in iCal.  This works fairly nicely, but if you enable iCloud, it will want to disable your Google sync.
As Alchroma suggests, you could also just setup yout iTunes to sync the calendars for you, but if you are like me and you don't sync your iPhone to your computer several times a day, the two get hopelessly out of sunc real fast...

  • How do I sync my iPad with a new iTunes library without erasing all the previously purchased apps & data on my iPad?

    I'm sure this is a common issue, and I've google-searched for solutions but I cannot find a straight forward answer anywhere. I really hope an expert here can help me out.
    I purchased an iPad last year and synced it with my iTunes library on my old PC laptop. Well, my PC laptop harddrive crashed last week and I cannot access anything on my laptop anymore. I did not make a back-up for my PC harddrive either. I know, next time I should make a back-up and I will. But that's irrelevant. The PC is gone now.
    I replaced my PC this week with a brand new Mac Book Pro. Excited about my new purchase, I quickly hooked up my iPad with the hopes of easily transferring and accessing my iPages, iNumbers, and other productivity iPad apps seamlessly to my new beautiful Mac Book Pro. But now I've run into the nightmarish dilemma of not being able to sync my beloved Ipad with my new MAC without getting the warning that basically says "your iPad is already synced with another iTunes Library. You may only sync to one iTunes Library at a time. You will lose all your data if you sync to this new computer."
    Can someone give me a straightfoward answer as to how I can sync my iPad with my new iTunes Library on my new Mac Book Pro without losing any of the apps that I previously purchased? I want to be able to access the apps I downloaded on my iPad on my Mac Book Pro.
    Thanks so much!!!!!!

    While it isn't as easy to just use a Mac iDevice as media storage as Android and Windows, you can add documents and such like Word, PDF and others manually in iTunes to have them sync as well.

  • How do I sync exchange tasks with iCal?

    How do I sync exchange tasks with iCal?

    For all of the wonderful and awesome things Apple has done and is doing (including winning me over from the Microsoft camp) there are certain things they absolutely are failing at.  Syncing is one of them.  If you want/need Exchange tasks synced with iOS 5 Reminders, USE OFFICE 2011 on Mac OSX Lion instead of iCal, Mail and Address Book and then LIFE IS WONDERFUL!!!  Works beautifully...  Exchange notes work great on Mac in Office 2011 but doesn't yet sync to iPhone notes (hopefully that will eventually get there too).  Pass this around, I spent hours to figure this out...

  • How do I sync my iPad with my iTunes without it trying to put my iPod apps on the iPad?  I don't want to make separate accounts because then the apps that I want on both would have to be paid for twice.

    No, they won't. Just create a second profile in iTunes for the iPad. You can then select only what you want synced to it completely separate from your iPod.

  • I have 3 iTunes courses that i downloaded using my iPad. After syncing my iPad with iTunes on my mac, these 3 courses do not appear on my mac iTunes library yet they are still on my iPad.

    I have 3 iTunes courses that i downloaded using my iPad. After syncing my iPad with iTunes on my mac, these 3 courses do not appear on my mac iTunes library yet they are still on my iPad.
    I have 2 other courses that I downloaded frim my iPad and these appeared on my iTunes (mac) library.
    Any idea why the other 3 that i downloaded were not synced in iTunes?

    You and the iPad can function with the Remote App from across the room, or in another room.
    However, your stereo system has to have a way to communicate or connect with the computer.   Unless it has some kind of wifi connector or has Bluetooth, I don't see how you can do this.
    There is no app or software to resolve this.   You need a way for the stereo to connect.

  • HT4918 How do you sync your IPad with apple tv?

    How do you sync an iPad 2 with apple tv?

    Welcome to the Apple community.
    You can't sync an iPad with an Apple TV, maybe you mean AirPlay.
    Assuming both devices are on the same network and that AirPlay is not turned off on the Apple TV, then simply tap on the screen when you are watching content you wish to stream to your Apple TV, then tap the airplay icon that appears in the control bar, choose the Apple TV from the menu that appears.
    When displaying the content you wish to mirror on the iPad 2, iPad 3 or iPhone 4s, double tap the home button (quickly) and swipe the bottom row of apps to the right to reveal the playback controls, tap the AirPlay icon and select your Apple TV from the list of available devices.

  • How can I sync my iPad with a new laptop (same itunes account) and not lose all my app data, i.e. games data stored on the ipad, not the app itself?

    I want to sync my iPad with a new laptop, so I can get rid of the old computer.  I have already downloaded all the itunes content on the new laptop, but when i go to sync, it tells me that itunes will erase and copy all the apps from the new library.  The 2 computers are on the same account, so is there a way to copy the apps (including app data) onto the new laptop, instead of vice versa?

    how do i sync my ipod with i tunes on a new computer when i don't have access to my old computer?

    Syncing to a new iTunes library or computer will erase your phone. Only if you back up your phone manually before syncing, you can restore your device from that backup again. A manual backup does not include the sync process.
    Do this:
    Disable autosync in iTunes, connect your phone to your new computer and right click on it in the device list and choose backup. iTunes will backup your device without syncing.
    Transfer your purchases the same way, choosing "transfer purchases" this time.
    When you connect your phone for the first time, all media content will be erased. But you can restore your settings and app data from your manual backup afterwards.
    Don't forget to set up at least one contact and event on your new computer to be able to merge calendars and contacts when you sync the iPhone for the first time.
    Music is one way only, from the computer to your device, unless you bought the songs in iTunes and transferred your purchases.
    There is 3rd party software out there, but not supported by Apple, see this thread: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=2013615&tstart=0

  • How do I sync my iPad with multiple Aperture libraries?

    I have an Ipad2 and use Aperture 3 with multiple libraries. iTunes only allows me to sync with the 'current' library (the one most recently opened in Aperture) which is a pain, as I sometime lose all my photos off the iPad if I've been using a different library. Is there a way around this?
    Thanks!
    Jan-Peter

    There is a work around but it requires more manual effort from you.
    Instead of syncing your iPad to Aperture or iPhoto, choose to sync it from a folder.
    First create a new folder somewhere on your HD and then export versions from your various Aperture libraries to your folder. You'll need to manually manage this folder. For example, if you want something deleted from your iPad, you'd need to delete it from this folder. Adding new items to your Aperture library won't automatically update to your iPad until you export them to this folder and sync your iPad.
