Ical issue on Ipad

When entering events into ical on my iPad, the calendar switches.  How do I merge calendars (gmail and iCloud) on ipad and keep dates to one calendar?

P.S. One more note: Syncing with iTunes is not a good option for me. I have an old MacBook that does not support ICloud. I have been advised by Apple to *never* sync my iCal with iTunes, becuase when I did that the fist time, I duplicated tons of calendars and hand to hand-delete dozens of events, yowza.

  • New iCal issues on iPad

    after updating to new iCal, most birthdays show up as duplicates. Genius Bar associate was not able to resolve issue and to wait up

    I recommend spending some time on a live chat with mobile me support. There are so many factors that affect the calendars, it gets quite complicated. I had a similar issue, but I can't tell you what one thing fixed it up.
    Checking settings on my Mac mini and Air, backing up and deleting contacts on the Mac, turning off and on the birthday calendar checkmark in MobileMe, and deleting contacts from iPhone and iPad restoring from MobileMe, is just naming a few of the things we did.
    Regards.

  • Can you set the type of alert in iCal on the iPad?

    I have an iPad (1st generation) with the latest iOS5. I love the new iOS and especially the way that iCloud makes things more seamless between my devices. I do have an issue with iCal, however. When I set an event in iCal in OSX, I can set the alert to be a message, message with sound, email, etc. By default, if I set an event in iCal on my iPad the alert is a message. I can find no way to change this. If there is a way, please tell me.
    Because of this, I never use iCal on iPad to set alerts because I like to use message with sound. This greatly reduces the functionality of iCal on iPad because, for me, it can only be used as a calendar event viewer. Any help would be appreciated. Note: I have contacted apple feedback about this issue.
    In a related, but less important issue, I find that the settings for the timing of the alert are very limited in iCal on iPad. On iCal in OSX one can set the alert time for either the time of the event, or pretty much any amount of time prior to the event. On the iPad, iCal will only let you set it to the day of the event, 1 or 2 days before, or 1 week before the event. A limitation, but not crippling. However, if anyone knows how to set the timing of the event on iPad's iCal with more specificity I would really like to know.
    Thanks!

    Under Settings, Sounds, you can set an alert sound for calendar events.
    For timed events, you can set the alert for a range of times from 5 minutes before upwards (e.g.15 mins, 30 mins, 1 hour). For all-day events, the range is as you described.
    You can set the alert for each event as you create it (or edit it later)
    You can set default alerts for all-day event,s timed events, and birthdays (i.e. different defaults for each type) in Settings, Mail, Contacts and Calendar, default Alerts.
    Does that help?

  • How do I set an event to repeat every 4 weeks on iCal on my ipad 2?

    How do I schedule an event to repeat every 4 weeks in iCal on my iPad 2?

    Wow, I'm so used to setting up most repeated events on my mac in BusyCal that I didn't realize how limiting iPad/iCal was. I'll be curious to see if anyone has a trick to accomplish this. Thanks for posting this "issue".

  • HT1296 After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2.  Why is this?

    After downloading iTunes 11, my calendar on my iMac (OS X 10.6.8) does not sync with iCal on my iPad 2.  Why is this?

    Ok, here's what seems to have worked....but will need to monitor to see if this stays "stable".
    1)  As suggested by King_Penguin in another Discussion thread  [apple support > iPad > Using iPad > Discussions]  (https://discussions.apple.com/message/15911962#15911962), I turned off iPhoto startup on the iPhone.  Then ejected iPhone from USB.
    2)  Reconnected iPhone via USB.  iTunes did not start up.  Started up iTunes manually.  Went to Summary page for iPhone, unchecked the "open iTunes" option, selected APPLY button.  Let iTunes run its application process.
    3)  Then checked the "open iTunes" option.  Selected APPLY button.  Got a dialog box asking if I wanted "iTunes Helper" to be installed; selected YES.  Let iTunes run its application process. Ejected iPhone.  Closed out iTunes.  Reconnected iPhone via USB.  AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).  Let iTunes do some backup and sync'ing.  Ejected iPhone.  Closed out iTunes.
    4)  Connected iPad via USB (on computer).  AND iTunes STARTED UP AUTOMATICALLY (yay!).
    I don't know for sure that the iPhoto "automatic launch" was causing the interference, but it seems like the "uncheck/check" the "open iTunes" option seemed to re-set the problem that I encountered.  I don't want to say for sure that this issue is fixed, but it appears to be under control for the moment.
    Thanks to everyone for your thoughts and assistance.  Maybe this info will help someone else out now that it's in the forums/discussions.

  • Accepting a ical invitation on ipad

    How do we accept an ical invitation on ipad from iphone or Macbook or Mac desck top
    I get this message ''Safari can't open this document''

    I would love a solution, too. This issue came up as soon as I updated to the mobileme beta in october. First, all my "on my mac" calendars were deleted with years of needed historical data. Luckily I restored them via Time Machine backup. Then I talked in depth to multiple levels of AppleCare support and they were beyond perplexed. Any calendar invites I receive into iCal will automatically go into the first "on my mac" calendar, and cannot be moved to the mobileme calendars. The only bad solution is to "duplicate" the calendar event, and then move it to whatever calendar you want. Then delete the original event. Unfortunately, even if you select "delete and don't notify" the original event sender will receive a notification. I've also had problems with calendar invites in ical I accepted into mobileme syncing to my iphone and ipad in a format that does not allow me to edit.

  • I want to cut and paste iCal entries on iPad.  Have seen a number of questions raised but no definitive answer - is it possible or not?  (I use Bento but that doesn't sync with ICal now so can use that solution)

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

  • My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that I "...can expect no privacey" of any personal information that may be put on the iPad. This is not acceptable to me. How can I use iTunes to keep my personal information off the iPad?

    My employer is issuing an iPad 4 to me, but has informed me that "...I can expect no privacy" with regard to any information on it. What has me concerned is that my employer has also requested that I use my Persoanl iTunes account to syc and update the iPad.  I am concerend with my personal privacey, as I have two other iPads that use this account regualary.
    My question is: How can I use iTunes to update etc. the company iPad using iTunes without compromising my personal information?
    What I have done is to set up a different sign in (is that called an Apple ID?) within iTunes (I now have two different names I can use to sign in to iTunes). They both still use the same iTunes and my personal apps and information appear to be available to my second sign in name (the second sign in name is what I intend to use for the company iPad). When I sync the company iPad how do/can I keep my persoanl information from being syc'd automatically to the comapany iPad?

    Hi herbie13!
    It sounds like you will still want to link your iPad and computer, but you want to prevent the iPad from syncing information from your computer to your iPad. I have an article here for you that can help tell you how to set this up:
    iOS: Syncing with iTunes
    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1386
    You will want to follow the steps here to set up the iPad for syncing, but when it comes time to sync, you'll just want to make sure that the boxes for syncing the multitude of items that you can sync remain unchecked so that none of that information gets synced into the iPad.
    Another note: your second Apple ID will not be able to access the apps, music, movies, tv shows, etc., that you have purchased under your primary Apple ID. Even though it seems that the secondary Apple ID still has access to those items, that is just because you are viewing your second Apple ID through the iTunes Store section on your computer and you have those items saved locally on your computer. You will need to repurchase and download all of the content that you wish to use again on your second Apple ID, if that is what you wish to solely use on this iPad.
    Take care, and thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities.

  • Can I create a new calendar in ICal on my iPad?

    Can I create a new calendar in ICal on my IPad?

    Tap and hold a file. When it starts to shake, drag it on top of another file. This will create your folder. By the way, you can't create any nested folders (folders inside of folders).

  • Subscribing in iCal on my iPad to someone else's Google calendar.

    How do I subscribe to someone's Google calendar in iCal for my iPad?

    Photos can be transferred to an iPad via the iTunes sync process from a single computer only. When transferring photos from another computer via the iTunes sync process, all photos transferred from a different computer will be erased from the iPad first.
    There is a free iDisk app available for the iPad via the iTunes store. If you transfer the photos to your iDisk, you can access the photos from your iDisk with the iDisk app, but you can't sync photos with your iDisk.
    There is also a free MobileMe Gallery app via the iTunes store you can use to view photos in your MobileMe Galleries.

  • Some images do not display in browser, iPad Air 2.  When I load a page with several jpgs (one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Website issue or iPad?

    I have just bought an iPad, partly to check that my websites work OK on mobile devices.   When I load a page with several jpgs (e.g. one 1920x720, then 8-10 800x800px), only the first few are shown.  If I remove the large one, that sometimes fixes the problem. Behaviour is similar for Safari and Chrome. Is this a website issue or iPad?

    Sorry, I didn't make myself clear.  I'm using a new Wordpress theme that is meant to be responsive.  The large image is for a header, than you scroll down to see the rest, one by one.  Some one the pages work OK on my iPad, typically the old ones where the maximum image size was 500 x 500.  It's the new pages and those I've updated that are causing the problem.  On the iPad the large image loads, then a couple of the small ones become visible as I scroll down, but then darkness (rather like my knowledge level).
    Being new to IOS and iPads, I'm trying to work out whether I should be looking here, or amongst the Wordpress stuff for a solution.
    Here's the website with its new theme: http://www.new-zealand-pictures.com/

  • Why do I have multiple birthdays showing in iCal on my iPad using iOS 6?

    For some reason some of my birthdays are showing up as duplicates in my iCal on my iPad.  I have my calendars sync'd with Google Calendars and one of those calendars is my birthday callendar that I have setup in Google Canlendars.  Only some of the birthdays show up duplicated and others do not.  I can't seem to find any rhym or reason to why some are and some are not.  Anybody having the same problem or have a solution?

    The Calendar app pulls birthdays from the Contacts app.
    If you also have another Birthday calendar with the same birthdays, they will show up twice.

  • How can I view to-do-list from my Mobileme ical in my Ipad?

    I can not view in the ical in my iPad the to-do-list from my Mobileme ical.
    Where is the to-do-list in the iCal in the iPad?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I don't believe you can get your iCal todos on the Calendar application on the iPad. This question is more relevant in the iPad forum. I suggest you also post it there.
    Best wishes

  • My friend is now facing one issue with iPad.

    My friend is now facing one issue with iPad. He clicked on screenshot (attached with email) with Google mail app (iPad) and the screenshot is now stuck open. He cannot close it using the little X in the upper right which does not respond. So his Gmail app is completely blocked by this open screenshot! tried everything including shutting down and rebotting his iPad.

    I use the Gmail app and have never had that problem. But Apple has nothing to do with the Gmail app. If you want to report a bug, report it to Google through the app itself.
