- About the Author
Appointments can help keep you on schedule so you know where you have to be and when. On the iPad, all this information gets stored in the Calendar app. If you’re using a Macintosh, this information gets synchronized into your iCal program. If you’re using a Windows computer, this contact information gets synchronized into Microsoft Outlook. To synchronize appointments, follow these steps:
Connect your iPad to your computer using the USB cable.
Run iTunes on your computer.
Click the name of your iPad in the Devices category.
Click the Info tab. The Info screen appears.
Check (or uncheck) the Sync iCal Calendars checkbox, as shown in Figure 15-9.
Click the All calendars or Selected calendars radio button. (If you click the Selected calendars radio button, you can check the checkboxes of different calendars, such as Home or Work.)
(Optional) Check (or uncheck) the Do not sync events older than checkbox. Then click in the days text box and type the number of days, such as 30.
Click Apply.
