Is it simply not possible to sync Google Calendar event colours to iPad?

Hey all!
I've had a search and found a previosuly asked, but as yet unanswered post, had a good blast over the internet and am now just about at my conclusion - is syncing the colours of individual events in Google Calendar to my iPad, simply not possible?
I know each of my calendars will appear as a seperate colour, but I also colour each event within my Google Calendars according to what they are. As yet, I can only get them to sync to my iPad in the colour that has been assigned to that calendar.
I hope this makes sense!

What "size" do you want?
WHat iPhoto shows you is not the "total disk space". It shows you the size of the folder you would get if you dragged the current version of the pics in the Event or Album to a folder on the desktop. It does not tell you the size of the originals, for instance, nor of the thumbnails and database and other ancillary files.
So, it's nowhere near the "total disk space" of these images and their support files. Have a look on the iPhoto forum. There are regular queries along the lines of "How come iPhoto tells me my Library is 21 gigs but the Finder reports it as 44 gigs?"
iPhoto can do this because when you edit an original it creates an actual modified copy and stores it on the HD. (And, you can, of course, produce entirely different results if you play with the export settings.)
Aperture can't tell you that. Why? Because
1. There's no modified version, just entries in the db
2. The size of the exported image depends entirely on the export presets you choose - and there are literally thousands of potential options these
3. Dragging to the desktop only gets your Previews.
So, iPhoto isn't really telling you anything very accurate, and Aperture couldn't because of the way it works.

HT1692 not able to sync exchange calendar events on iPad made from my computer or iPhone. It works fine when I make an event from iPad, it shows on computer and iPhone but not vice-versa.

Is it possible to transfer my calendar (events) from my IPad to my IPhone

Is it possible to transfer the content in Calendar from my IPad to my IPhone

Yes, you can sync using computer iTunes, or switch iCloud to ON on both devices using the same Apple ID.

Is there any way to sync Outlook for Mac with iPhone? I have tried everything but not successful. Apple says it is not possible to sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5. Any help will be much appreciated.

Is there any way to Sync contacts from Outlook for Mac to iPhone 5? Apple support says that only iTune can only sync contacts from "Contact" which is the default contact of Mac. If one is running Outllok on a Mac machine then it is not possible to sync the contacts with iPhone. It is strange that Apple distributors are promoting and offering machines with promise that Windows users can now run MS Office on Mac machines without any problem. While this is true, it is so strange that one cannot sync the contacts from MacBook Pro to iPhone5. If someone has found a way to sync contacts from Outlook to iPhone 5 please help as it is very frustrating to not be able to sync the contacts. Thanks, Amit.

How can I sync Google Calendar with my E75?

This is driving me insane. I've searched and searched and searched the web for a way to sync my E75 unlocked phone with Google Calendar. 90% of the threads and comments Google digs up simply say, "It doesn't work." Some people seem to have manged to get it to work with some very minor variations on the following directions:
1. On the E75, press the Menu key.
2. Select Email.
3. Remove the Mail for Exchange mailbox (if it currently exists).
4. Select New from the home screen of the Email application.
5. Press Start.
6. Enter a fictitious email addres that you know does not exist.
7. Press OK.
8. Enter a fictitious password for the fictitious email address.
9. Press OK.
10. Select Mail for Exchange.
11. Type in your Gmail username/email address.
12. Press OK.
13. Leave the Domain blank.
14. Press OK.
15. Type: m.google.com
16. Press OK twice.
17. Type in your Gmail password.
18. Press Log in.
19. Go to the home screen of the Email application.
20. Select Settings.
21. Select Personal information management.
22. Select Applications.
23. Select Calendar.
24. Select Calendar sync (this will enable calendar).
25. Go to the home screen of the Email application.
26. Select Settings.
27. Select Mail for Exchange.
28. Select What to sync.
29. Select Sync email (this will disable email).
30. Select Back three times.
31. Press Options.
32. Select Synchronize.
My problem is that my E75 Mail app doesn't have the Mail for Exchange option described in step 10. The rest of the procedure just goes down the tube at that point. After a great deal of research, I'm left with the impression that either something is wrong with my phone or these directions are out of date. Has anyone had recent experience configuring the E75 to work with Google Calendar either through MfE or through another (free) app?

Hi there,
didn't read your complete rant, it's clear you've disappointed by substandard product and/or mismatching expectations, I on the other hand have had a exceptional good experience with my N95. It's reaching old age now, so I can't wait for the N900. However I do see Nokia has a challenge to overcome, well two actually. Yes you're right they're trying too hard to create some Nokia-bounded platforms, instead of facillitating the connectivity between platforms. Recently saw some intresting concepts in the beta apps, but they require a similar nokia app on the other side. Well I'm very sorry Nokia, nowadays I don't even know the number of the person I'll be calling, do you really believe I know (or want you to tell me = $$?) who of my contacts has this app enabled? With some good will and some fantasy I could say it's a part of brandpositioning and solidifing (or some other fancy BS ;-) ). Nokia however also seems to have an issue with postdevelopment integration and streamlining of their apps. Developing apps as more or less seperate entities might seem a sensible develment strategy and it probably is when combined with good (read efficient and thus "cheap") projectmanagement. If a contact has a birthday mentioned in contacts, don't you think I would want to see that in my calendar? If I try to be smart, I give the input myself, but then what happens? When syncing I get 2 birthdays is my outlook calendar ;-( Similar ennoying feat happens with GPS locations, I´m using serach address, use contactlist. Have a guess where I´d like the coordinates to go to when saved....no it´s not a new and seperate entry in favourites which in turn is read by the address book, these things should have seamless integration. User experience and ultimately satisfaction cannot be achieved by solely developing series of new and improved functionalities, cause to us, the consumer it´s not primarily a functionality. It´s actually a person, either in direct communication or otherwise stored for future communication. As a producer of these communication devices Nokia should show they understand this, preferably through their products. Regarding your issue syncing with Google Calendar, I'm assuming you're already using the calendar. Why not download the Google apps app? Or if you only want the calendar, take the standalone calendar app, Basically you'll have a mobilized calendar view with most of the functionalities there. Can't be online indefinetly? Just save the page locally, nothing you can't handle ;-) The solutions with either MfE reconfig or syncing with outllook/windows calendar in the middle are feasible too, however you do need to be carefull when setting direction and/or dominance of the sync relation. Multipoint syncing can become a severe headache if you haven't set it up proparly..... I've also included a google info mail, they send me some time ago. Loads of info&links, I'm sure there's a solution there which will fit your needs
greetz and goodluck

TS2481 How do I sync google calendar with Ipad 2 thru the cloud. Used to work, but now I've lost it. Maybe a setting?

What setting do I use on my Ipad 2 and Iphone 3GS to enable google calendar to sync thru Icloud between my 2 devices? Thank you!

Hey JonC84
Thanks for the question. You can definitely sync your new iPod touch with the local calendar on your computer (you won't need to setup an account like iCloud). The following article may help you achieve this:
iOS: How to transfer or sync content to your computer
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1296
Contacts, Calendars, Bookmarks, and Notes
You can sync contacts, calendars, bookmarks, and notes with other applications on your computer. This allows you keep all your information in sync across multiple computers and iOS devices. The settings for these items are all in the Info tab for your iOS device in iTunes. With your iOS device connected to the computer, select your iOS device. Then click the Info tab.
Calendars
To sync calendars with your computer, choose "Sync Calendars" or "Sync iCal Calendars."
- When syncing calendars, you can sync all calendars or sync specific calendars.
- You can limit the data that is synced to only events that have occurred in the last 30 days. The option can be changed to any number of days.
For additional information, see this article (while the article refers to iTunes 11, most steps are applicable for you):

Syncing google calendar with microsoft outlook

Hi
I just received this email from google regarding the use of google calendar sync software for microsoft outlook:
Important Announcement about Google Calendar Sync
Almost two years ago, we announced that we had ended support for Google Calendar Sync.
Starting on
1 August 2014, this app will no longer sync events between your Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar.
You can continue to access all of your Google Calendar events at

Thanks

Hi,
Do you have an Gmail account configured in Outlook used for mail, contact and calendar managing?
The announcement indicates the Google Calendar Sync can’t be used to sync your Outlook calendar (and contacts) with Gmail. If you don't use Gmail for email but need to sync Outlook Calendar with a smartphone, we can consider to user Outlook.com account to
sync calendar. Here is an reference about sync calendar and contacts using Outlook.com:

If you want to sync Google calendar to Outlook, we can also find any third-party tools to achieve it:

Cannot sync Google calendar on iPad Air

My Google calendar is not showing up on my iPad Air. While added my Gmail account to the iPad mail client, I made sure to select the 'Calendar' option. Is there anything else that I need to do? The iOS version is 7.0.3.
Thanks in advance for your time.

Same problem here.
iPad replaced and new iPad restored from recent backup. Result: google calendar events no longer synced with google cloud. Attempted to solve by deleting google acc from iPad and recreating. Result: iPad no longer showed any google calendar events. Google support no help at all. Led me to https://www.google.com/calendar/syncselect which I unticked and reticked with no change - no google calendar visible on iPad even though all options set correctly and email working fine. Final solution was to create caldav account on iPad. Calendars now working. No thanks to google support. Thanks to wilver.
Some changes to wilver's response. pasatiempo49 is correct. On initial create caldav screen, type www.google.com for server and enter https://www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user//www.google.com/calendar/dav/[email protected]/user on Advanced screen. On wilver's post the URL shows twice. I assume this is a rendering problem caused by a conversion - the URL should only be entered once, starting with https and ending with /user - no closing slash.
I now have two gmail accounts on my iPad. One with calendar and one with mail and contacts.

Is it possible to sync my itunes music from my ipad to my ipod nano 7th generation? My desktop computer is so old that I can't do it from there.

No, the iPad cannot sync to anything else since its not really a computer. You need a computer to do that.
How old is your computer? Make and Model?
Its not so much the computer, but more so the Version of iTunes installed on it.

Check system preferences to make sure you have iCal and your photostream checkmarked to TRUE.
If you still have problems, give us more details.
Also, make sure the calendar in iCal you're using/looking at is not "On My Mac", but actually an iCloud one.

Is it simply not possible to sync Google Calendar event colours to iPad?
