Sync iPad calendar

I use my iPad calendar a lot and have just purchased an iPhone4 - how can I sync the calendar to appear on my iPhone. I currently use gmail as my mail provider and use that to sync contacts in iTunes between the two. Do I need to use MobileMe?

You can use MobileMe but you can also use Google or Yahoo! Calendars.

Sync iPad calendar to Gmail Calendar

Hey all,
I have done a lot of research about trying to figure out how to sync appointments made on my iPad to my Gmail calendar. I have found countless guides for how to get entries from Gmail to iPad which works for me, but I have not been able to find a solution for a 2 way sync, or at least from iPad to Google.
Since I share the iPad and multiple people, they will make calendar appointments on the iPad. Since the iPad will typically stay at home, I would like to find a way to get all of the appointments on my iPad to sync to my Moto Droid.
I figured the easiest way was to somehow sync the iPad with Google Calendar as I can sync that down to my phone.
Has anyone had any success with either a constant 2 way automatic sync? If not is there anyway I can easily get whats on my iPad onto either my Moto droid or Gmail Calendar?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Andrew

[Google Sync for your phone|http://www.google.com/mobile/sync>
Google Sync works for iPhone, iPad, Windows Mobile, Blackberry, and Outlook for Windows, as well as others. I haven't tried it with Android, but being from Google, it's likely it will work as well. It syncs Google Calendar to your various devices. I can also sync Gmail and Addressbook, if you wish.
I have this set up to sync iCal on my Mac Mini, Macbook Pro, Outlook on my Windows PC and my Windows Mobile phone. I have this setup on a client to keep a husband & wife's calendar in sync on 2 iPhones, his iPad, his Macbook, "family" Mac Pro and her Outlook for Windows. Previously they also had Blackberries. But basically it's multiple people editing the same calendar and keeping multiple devices in sync. (This client is NOT syncing their addressbook, as each wants their own on their phones. They primarily wanted a shared calendar.)

Sync iPad Calendar to Both Exchange and Outlook on Two Windows 7 PCs

I would like to sync my Outlook 2010/Exchange calendar from my computer at work with my iPad, and then sync my iPad with Outlook 2007 on my home computer. I'd like for the result to be one sync'd up calendar on each device.
I have my iPad set to sync Over The Air with my Exchange calendar from work. It syncs perfectly. I would like to also sync that Exchange calendar, now on my iPad, with my home computer. My home computer is the one that I sync my iPad with via iTunes. That computer runs Windows 7 & Outlook 2007. My home computer does not run exchange and Outlook 2007 at home is simply running as a local .PST file.
My problem has been that the Exchange calendar on the iPad does not sync with Outlook 2007 on my home computer. I have iTunes on my home computer configured to sync my calendar with Outlook 2007 on my home computer, but iTunes has created a second calendar on my iPad called "Calendar" under the "From My PC" heading in the Calendar app. My Exchange calendar shows up on my iPad as "Calendar" under my work email address "[email protected]". The two calendars do not appear to play nicely with each other. The From My PC Calendar only syncs items from my calendar in Outlook 2007 on my Home PC. The "[email protected]" (Exchange) Calendar only syncs with my work PC.
I'm looking for a solution that doesn't involve installing anything on my work PC, as technically that machine is locked down and I cannot add any programs.

I had my home computer set up to sync to work's Exchange server. It worked well, but I didn't like seeing work email messages and other programs trying to sync with my default Outlook folder, which was then the Exchange (& work related) .ost file. I know there are various ways to manage those problems using filters, view, subfolders, etc., but it was a hassle for me. I think it could work well for many other folks.
For now, I have published my work calendar and subscribed to that calendar on my home computer. So I have view only access to my calendar on my home computer (and I can add/edit calendar items on my iPad (or Outlook Web Access) when away from work). This is not quite what I wanted, but it may work.
It almost makes me long for the days when I used my Windows Mobile Treo to sync back and forth between exchange at work and outlook at home (but had many sync conflicts as a result).

Syncing iPad calendar with Exchange / Outlook

Hello,
i have a problem with syncing the calendar of an Exchange/Outlook User and his Exchange ActiveSync Account on different iPads (iOS 7.1.1 and 5.1.1).
If i got a meeting request and accept it provisionally on an iPad, and some time after, finally accept it in Outlook, the iPad doesn't recognize the change of state. Moments later, the meeting in Outlook change back to provisionally. All the expected mails have been send and recieved.
If i go the other way and accept it provisionally in Outlook and accept it finally on the iPad, it seems to be that the Users Outlook recongnize the accept, but the one who asks for that meeting don't get this change of state.
To me it seems, that the first reaction on on invitation is recognized on both systems (Outlook and iPad) and on both sides (asking and answering of that invitation). But if later a change of state appears, the iPad don't get it right (from Outlook) or don't send the right messages for triggering that change (from iPad).
And rarely a second issue seems to appear: meetings are vanishing from the iPad Calendar but they are definitly exist in Outlook.
Is there a Problem with ActiveSync from iPad (and iPhones i think) to Exchange 2007? Can it be solved? Or are there some workarounds?
Thanks for any help in advance.
Greetings
Karsten
Sorry for bad english and possible wrong named options - i have only german Outlook and don't know the real english buttonlabels.

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:

Syncing iPad calendar events with iMac calendar?

I just entered my schedule for the next two months on my new iPad thinking it would transfer to my 24" iMac calendar, but it did not. In iTunes there is a box to check to completely remove everything from my iPad and replace it with info from my desktop, but how do I merge the info? Or get the info I enter on my iPad onto my desktop? I would appreciate any help anyone can offer.
Thanks for your time.

Yes I thought I did. IIIaass, You're saying the information you entered on to your iPad synced and showed up or transferred to iCal on your computer? And all you did was checked the right box on iTunes? If you would, do you mind telling me exactly what option you checked to make that work? I would be eternally grateful. I thought I explored all the options, but maybe I missed one.
Thank you for your time and assistance IIIaass,

HT1692 Trouble syncing iPad calendar with Google calendars

My iPad happily downloads all events that are updated to my Google calendar from the exchange system on my laptop but will not upload events that are entered directly to my iPad in the reverse direction meaning I have to enter these to Exchange manually, then these "new" entries are happily updated back to my iPad so I end up with duplicate antries on the iPad. Any ideas???

You've wandered into the Podcasts forum. Could I refer you to the iPad forum.

Syncing ipad calendar

Hi,
Issue as follows; I'm creating an all-day event in Outlook (Exchange) but when reviewing this on my iPad, then event has turned into a full-day appointment (from 00.00 hrs - 00.00 hrs. I then have to edit the appointment separately on the the iPad to make it into the all-day event (taking up much less space when viewing).
Any ideas if there is a fix for this?

Syncing iPad iPhone iMac with Google Calendar, everything you want to know

Ok Guys, I just spent the last 4 hours going nuts with experimentations, trials and errors, and I finally think I figured it out, so bear with me here because it's not that simple. And excuse me for the poor english, I'm from Brazil.
Ok, in the iMac you're gonna set up a CalDAV account with your google login/password. It will work flawlessly and you won't have any problems, it will always update the google calendar and be updated by it. Just remember to use CMD+R to refresh it whenever you want, so you don't have to wait the 15 minutes or whatever you set in preferences.
Now let's talk iPad and iPhone. First of all, you have 2 options to sync calendars with Google, you can use protocol CalDAV or protocol Exchange.
Google's setup instructions for CalDAV (both iPhone and iPad) is here: http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?answer=151674
The instructions for both iPhone and iPad for Exchange is here:
http://www.google.com/support/mobile/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740
(just be sure to select calendar only, cause I'm assuming you're using IMAP or other protocol for mail and contacts).
The main difference between CalDAV and Exchange is that Exchange supports push updates, wich is instant, while with CalDAV you have to fetch manually (every time you open the calendar app) or another time setting (like 15 min, one hour, etc).
Well, my experiences revealed that the iPhone and the iPad will sync flawlessly with Google Calendar and the iMac, without any problems, BUT as long as you use Exchange AND Push to update the calendars (CalDAV doesn't support Push, and you need Push so the iPad sync works).
Let me repeat that: IF and ONLY IF you have BOTH Exchange protocol configured and PUSH enabled iPad and iPhone will sync flawlessly. But many people (me included) dont want to use push because a) it has a battery hit b) they don't need instant updates c) it consumes cellular data when you're not on Wifi, and if you don't have an unlimited plan that's not good.
So, if you TURN OFF PUSH with Exchange sync, the iPad will stop syncing properly. Curiously, the iPhone will continue syncing properly.
What I discovered is that, on the iPad, doesn't matter if you use CalDAV or Exchange, the moment you turn OFF push notifications it won't sync manually anymore. And by that I mean that with push off the iPad will not refresh calendar data when you open the calendar app (as it should since push is off and manual fetch is selected).
To sum it up, I discovred that with push OFF in both the iPad and the iPhone (either with Exchange or CalDAV):
- The iPhone will update both google calendar and the iMac;
- The iphone will be updated by both google calendar and the iMac and events created in the iPad;
- The iPad will NOT be updated when you open the calendar app, so it won't see any changes made either on the iPhone, iPad or Google Calendar, but when you create new events in the iPad you will see the data icon spinning so it will send that event to the other 3, but it will not recieve anything.
On macrumors forum people discovered that on the iPad, if you open your calendar, close it, change settings from manually fetch to 15 minutes or whatever, it will sync the next time you open your calendar. But it's unreliable (doesn't work every time), not to mention that you won't want to do that every time you need to sync your calendar !
What about the iPhone ? Well, in my experiences I found out that it doesn't matter if you use Exchange OR CalDAV, it will manually sync with push off every time you open the calendar app. Just a sidenote: the iPhone wasn't manually refreshing with push off as well, just like the iPad, but as soon as I rebooted it started to sync manually every single time and it has been so far. But the iPad didn't sync manually every time even after I rebooted it.
To end it all, how to know if the calendar is manually syncing with Push OFF ? Well, just open the calendar app and after 5 seconds you should see the data spinning logo right next to the 3G or Wifi icon in the status bar. It must happen EVERY time you open the calendar app (you don't even need to force quit the calendar app for it to happen, it must happen every time you hit home and then open the calendar again). If it's not spinning (recieving data) 5 seconds after you opened the calendar app, it's not manually syncing, so on the iPhone you should reboot and on the iPad there's no fix I found so far (besides the unreliable fix of chaning the fetch time like I said before).
Oh, I did all these tests with an iPhone 3GS running iOS4 (don't complain it's not 4.2.1, cause the iPhone IS working, the problem is with the iPad), and an iPad running 4.2.1.
I just hope this thread gets attention because It almost drove me nuts to figure out all these things.
Cheers,
Felipe Raul

An update: I am seeing the CalDAV account sync more frequently than the 15 minute interval I have Fetch set to, sometimes as soon as 5-6 minutes. This is however going in/out of the calendar app multiple times... Every once in a which it will update.
I've found no pattern as to what triggers the sync. It doesn't seem to matter if I go into another app or not, or whether I close out the calendar app from the task menu. It's just totally random.
You might say, "what's wrong with just letting it fetch every 15 minutes as it is schedule to do?" Well, most of the time this would be ok, but there are occasionally moments when a decision must be made and an up-to-the-minute current accurate calendar is required for this to happen.
At this point, I'm going to have to keep my priority/vital calendars syncing via Exchange/push, and use CalDAV/push for the less vital calendars and at least have control over calendar colors with those.
Also, just wanted to mention that all the above testing has been over a stable wifi connection, rather than 3G or Edge, in case it makes a difference. (I don't think it does.)

How can I Sync my android phone calendar to my iPad calendar

Trying to find out is there an easy way to get my android phone calendar to sync with my iPad calendar.

Assuming you can sync your android calendar over the air with a Gmail account, you can do the same with a Gmail account on an iPad that is created as an Exchange account. The same for syncing Google contacts.

How can I sync my ipad calendar to my g5?

I am new with Mac G5 and I want to sync my ipad calendar to my icalendar, I tried through itune but no luck, I don't get it, it works with my ipod 2nd generation. On my laptop pc it works great but it seems more complicate on Mac...I tried to install iCloud but G5 doesn's support so I am stuck, any help would be appreciated.
TKS,

I don't get it, it works with my ipod 2nd generation.
That iPod is older and has less stringent system requirements than an iPad. They worked with older Macs and lower levels OS versions. You need a minimum of OS 10.5.8 to work a 2011/12 vintage iDevice. And, as you've discovered, iCloud requires OS 10.7
If you include your approximate geographic location in your profile, perhaps someone can offers suggestions for a vendor close to you. Apple no longer sells OS10.5 so you'll have to hit the murky third-party market for find it.

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro

Since Mavericks update my iPhone and iPad calendars
are NOT syncing with the calendar on my MacBook Pro.
I used to use iTunes but don't see the options now.
Does anyone know how to set up a sync.?

I have temporarily solved the sync problem by using an older MBAir running snow leopard, I exported
both calendar and contacts and imported them in the MBA and synced normally.
Since I'm not about to send my data on the cloud, or setup a server to just sync my iphone,
I think this is a good workaround ! BTW I stopped updating my contacts and calendar on the MB, I only
update the iphone until a permanent solution is found !
And they better come up with one soon, because I'll just switch to an Android phone and Ubuntu linux for my MBP, Apple should make our lives easier, not harder !
I'm sure Samsung is having a ball ever since the sync issue was made public !
Hopefully Apple is listening and will make things right again !
