I think you are misinformed. According to Google: "Google Sync uses Microsoft® Exchange ActiveSync® to let your users synchronize their Google Apps mail, contacts, and calendars to their mobile devices." Here's the link. That is the service that has been converted to CalDAV for calendars, imap for Gmail and CardDAV for contacts. Hotmail/Outlook are ActiveSync as you say. I can't see Microsoft not using their own product, lol.
I don't think my friend would be willing to delete his accout and restart, lol. His PB is working after all

Gmail calendar not syncing, now can't set up

Hi,
I'm on my second Playbook. I physically broke the last one (sniff). I had the gmail calendar sync working when I set it up in early Feb, but I noticed yesterday that it wasn't syncing anymore. Before anyone asks, I do have the latest OS.
I did some digging and here are my steps so far:
I was getting an error message when I double checked the settings and password for the account and clicked save. Email and contacts work correctly.
I checked the URL in my computer browser to see if I could get to it from my network. I used https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/events and after typing in my user and password, the file downloaded correctly. Opening it in notepad showed it was the right file and contained my calendar data in CalDAV format.
I then tried deleting and re-adding my gmail account. That's when I got this error: "Account Gmail - <my email address> - <my email address> failed testing with current settings." So I no longer have access to my gmail calendar or any of the entries that were there, because I already deleted the account.
I even tried KB33093 and that did not work for me either.
Is there something else I can try or is that it until the next OS update?
Note: I have a workaround by syncing my gmail calendar with a hotmail calendar and connecting to that on my playbook. It works, but it's not ideal as I can't edit the gmail calendar which is my main calendar.
Update: I was able to download the file at https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/events after typing in my user and password. A posting on another board thought that maybe the Playbook was being blocked by Google, this proves that it is not.

My gmail calendar not syncing properly with ios 8 on ipad

I downloaded IOS 8 this weekend and began noticing issues on my iPad 2 with google calendar. At first there was just one event that was listed at the wrong time. I deleted google calender from my settings, powered off, turned it back on and now all of the times and appointments were wrong. The are correct on my PC. My iPad is showing the correct time. Has anyone else encountered this and been able to fix it?

Yes. I encountered this with my gmail account on my iPhone. What seems to have fixed my issue was removing the gmail account, going back to mail to confirm it had indeed been removed, and then re-adding the account. It took a minute or two but the calendar came back up on my phone and has stayed.

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing my notes, contacts and calendars

My iPad and iPhone are not syncing notes, calendars or contacts.

Hello
Notes, Contacts and Calendar event can come from other sources too.
> Email accounts Like Gmail, Outlook ....
> Social Media, like FaceBook Twitter ...
> Apps you might be using.
Are each of your devices signed in with each account, that could be used to sync them?
Best of Luck

I have a new Ipad air. I have synced it to my PC before. This time I get an error message saying iTunes could not connect to the iPad because the device time out - what do I do?

Quit iTunes, restart your computer, reset the iPad and try again.
Reset the iPad by holding down on the sleep and home buttons at the same time for about 10-15 seconds until the Apple Logo appears - ignore the red slider if it appears on the screen - let go of the buttons. Let the iPad start up.

I recently asked a question regarding my ipad calendar not syncing. Now I noticed I am unable to even add an event ( the sign in the upper right hand corner) is greyed out, nothing happens when you touch it. My notes aren't syncing either

Calendar not syncing, unable to add events as the + sign at the top right is greyed out and nothing happens when you touch it. Then realized that my Notes aren't syncing either nor are my reminders. What the heck is going on. This ipad mini is just barely 6 months old. Software is up to date. Someone please help me.
I have always wanted an ipad now beginning to wonder why...

Turns out once I shut down the iPad and turned it back on my issues were resolved.
Thank you

My iPad and iPhone do not sync up my appointment calendar

my iPad and iPhone do not sync up my appointment calendar

Go to Settings->Mail,Contacts,Calendars and scroll down to Calendar. For both iPhone and iPad, make sure that the default calendar is NOT "Calendar" but is the same one of those listed under iCloud, preferably "Home". (and of course follow the other advice on functions that are "on".

I am trying to sync the ipad calendar with my Google calendar. The events sync from my Google calendar to the iPad calendar but when I enter an event on my iPad caledar it does not sync to the Google calendar.

Did you ever get an answer to this? I'm having the same issue.

Why does it only one time to sync my IPhone 5, yet to put the same playlist on my IPad Air I have to sync multiple occasions and reboot?

Lately purchasing songs on ITunes has been difficult getting them on my IPad Air. I can sync the exact same playlist to my IPhone 5, no problem. Try putting the same playlist and songs on my IPad Air, forget about it! This problem seems recent and I wonder if it is a software problem. The computer is an Mac, so it's not a PC issue. During the sync process, step 5 "Waiting for changes to be applied", takes the longest amount of time.
Any thoughts?

I want to replace my PC with an iPad Air. Can I sync my iPhone solely with the iPad, never needing a computer?

I love my iPad Air. However, you may want to give the idea of using it to replace a full-fledged PC some thought. If your primary uses are websurfing, email. writing, reading, light photo editing, it will be fine. Other things may not work so well on an iPad.

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

Why will my icloud calendar not sync between my iphone and calendar on Outlook PC?

I think I may be having the same issue In a round about kind of way. Just got an iPhone4S ... everything worked great until today when I started tinkering with the settings in my new phone and noticed my cloud was getting full and I had two iPhone back ups on there at 4GB a piece. So.... I deleted the old back up of the iPhone4 and after that is when I started noticing issues. The cloud on my phone can no longer authenticate itself , unable to tell me when the last back up was, and will not perform a back up at all. Furthermore I am unable to download apps or updates on my iphone4S, they all sit in "waiting" status....
I also must say that I purchased an iPad 2 and still have my original ipad in the house and active. Both back ups are in the cloud and both devices work fine independently and can download apps and back up fine as well. I'm pretty sure this may be the culprit concerning this issue and I too have no idea how to fix it. Please Help!!!

Icloud calendar not syncing

I've added appointments to my calendar on iMac and it doesn't sync on iPhone and iPad. Same with the address book. I will change info on one of my devices and it doesn't change on the others. I checked in System Preferences under iCloud, both calendar and address book are selected. Same with devices.
Any other things I should be doing? Or where can I find more troublehshooting tips. Thanks.

Contacts not syncing.
First check that all your settings are correct, that contact syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the contacts you are adding are added to your 'iCloud' group and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud group (you can do this by checking in groups), non iCloud contacts will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your contacts are in the iCloud group, you might try unchecking contact syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling contact syncing.
Calendars not syncing.
First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g

Issue with Calendar not syncing with iPhone 3g.
Solution
Create backup of your entire mailbox before starting (THIS IS IMPORTANT)
Create offline folder (.pst file) Check windows help on how to do this for your version.
Open folders view on Outlook
Right click on Calendar in tree view and 'copy to' offline .pst folder
Go back to main calendar view and delete all entries in your calendar.
Create simple cal entry and sync test with iphone
If this works then start dragging cal entries back from the offline folder into the main calendar then sync after each step....
I moved events in this order
-Yearly recurrences (ie Birthdays)
- Monthly recurrences
- weekly recurrences
- Daily recurrences
All appointments from the beginning of this year >> to the end of time!
If all these sync then the issue is with an older cal item and you have to decide if you actually need these in you current calendar.
I chose to leave these in the offline cal and if i need access them from there.
If at any point the sync fails then you know you have a corrupt cal entry in the block you just transferred. Move the offending items back into the offline folder and try again in smaller chunks until you identify the offending items and delete them and manually recreate them in your real calendar.
Also smart to run the inbox (.pst /.ost ) repair tools for your OS/Outlook version.
Fixed so far
XP Pro / Outlook 2008
XP Pro /Outlook 2003

I just updated the firmware to iPhone 2.0.1 and the syncing works great both ways.
