About Calendar

iPad makes it easy to stay on schedule. You can view calendars individually, or several
calendars at once. You can view your events by day, week, or month, or in a list. You
can also search events by title, invitee, or location.

You can sync iPad with the calendars on your computer. You can also create, edit,
or cancel events on iPad, and sync them back to your computer. You can subscribe
to Google, Yahoo!, or iCal calendars. You can subscribe to read-only iCalendar (.ics)
calendars or import .ics files from email. If you have a Microsoft Exchange account or a
supported CalDAV account, you can receive and respond to meeting invitations from
others, and invite people to events you’ve scheduled.

Syncing Calendars

You can sync your calendars in these ways:

In iTunes, use the iPad settings panes to sync with iCal or Microsoft Entourage on a

Â

Mac, or with Microsoft Outlook on a PC, when you connect iPad to your computer.
See “Syncing with iTunes” on page 23.
In Settings on iPad, turn on Calendars in your MobileMe, Google, Yahoo!, or

Â

Microsoft Exchange account to sync your calendar information over the air. If your
company or organization supports it, you can also set up a CalDAV account. See
“Adding Mail, Contacts, and Calendar Accounts” on page 30. To sync calendars over
the air, iPad must be connected to the Internet.
