I looked at half a dozen different sites trying to set up a “family” of ipads… yours was a big help.

Now, it also created a problem that others may be experiencing.

I wanted everyone in the family to see each others calendar – where mom, dad and all the kids are…. but I don’t need to get an event reminder to all of their activities.

Is there any way to adjust settings so that you only get event reminders for the default calendar? and not all of the others?

Thanks,
CR

Hey,
Thanks for the great post – super clear and very easy to follow.

Just a quick question, if you have the time – can you sync the tasks too from Google or do you recommend a different task management app of some sort?

Justin,

At this time there is no way to sync the Google Tasks to your iPhone. You could always access them using the mobile version – m.google.com/tasks (on your iPhone)

You could also use Producteev (free) which is an online task manager that syncs to your iPhone. You could also use Remember the Milk, but it requires a paid subscription for the iPhone app.

Hope this helps.

Hi, I made the synchronization through an account Microsoft Exchange. It works perfect even with various calendars. But If adding an event, I make a mistacke and choose the wrong calendar, I can’t modify it. If I click on the event, I can modify everything except the calendar. Normal ? Solution ? Many thanks. Julien

Julien,

I just tried what you described and it looks like it is a limitation on the iPad. I tried changing the Calendar on an existing event and could not change it. The only workaround I can think of is deleting and recreating the event. Sorry.

OK thank you. I hope iOS4 of November will solve it…

Hello,
Thank you for this ! One question: I have 5 calendars to display. The application is only showing two of them. I can’t find which setting to tap to see if I can add more? (You say to tap on Calendars to specify which ones to display, but I can’t find anything that specifies which calendars…

I love it! Tried to do it on my own this AM and couldn’t figure it out. One additional question, though… my Gmail Calendar seems to sync down to my iPad, but my iPad Calendar does not seem to Sync up to Gmail. Am I missing something or is that just the way it is? Thanks again.

It should be both ways. If it’s not working then try removing and adding the
account again.

I found out how to add multiple calendars to my iPad native calendar application from Google Calendars. (from ipod-candy.com, btw)

To do this you now next need to go to (www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect) from this link you need to login to your account and select the calendars that will be synchronized to your outlook and iPad calendar.

Thank you so much this was very helpful and I now have my calendar YEA!

I followed the directions above and it worked fine, excepting that on my desk top, and mobile, I have 3 diff calenders on google, i.e. work, then personal, etc. only the work calender loaded, but I can’t figure out how to make the personal one load, am using iPad!

Thanks mate. I was looking for something like this !

lol… I am in the exact same boat with the anti apple stance except my love for my ipad.

Was the only one of many, many which was clear and solved my problem like a charm! Thanks.

Great

Why bother with this?

Instead, you should simply add your Google account as an Exchange server account. Then, your email, contacts, and calendar will all be linked to your Google account.

Google has their own Exchange Server which links to all of their Google Email, calendar, and email contacts. The only problem is that Google doesn’t sync your Google contact groups.

Thanks for this. It worked – but I have a question. Any idea why when I synched my gmail calendar to my ipad my ipad now has double entries for all my calendar items?

Judie,

I would remove the account and try again. This can happen sometimes. Let me know if it resolves the issue.

Hi there, thanks for the tip – in case anyone else needs this additional step, I had to go to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect on the iPad itself and select the additional Google calendars I wanted to display. (It only shows the primary by default, according to the Google Calendar help article I read after this.)

Thanks for the tip – just in case anyone else needs this additional step, I had to go to https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect on the iPad and check all my Google calendars for them all to show in the iPad’s calendar.

The step re the CALDAV was the bit I was missing to get the automatic synching to run. I had it under the email account settuing which did some of the synching but didn’t when I expected it to. This did it when the calendar starts.

Glad it worked for you.

I have added the gmail account to the iPad and it was working fine for a bit. Nowit is not updating and has removed everything from my calendar. How do I fix this, it appears that I am still getting mail just not the calendar. Thanks!

Did you check your account in the Settings section to make sure that syncing is enabled for the calendar? Thats were I’d start looking.
