Setting up
MobileMe
on the iPad
It's possible to sync via MobileMe and via iTunes. For example, you
may want to sync your calendars via MobileMe but store only business
contacts on the iPad. In that case you'd turn off the Contacts sync option for
MobileMe and enable specific contact groups in the Info pane in iTunes.
Regardless of your sync method, you probably don't want every event
in the past to appear on your calendar. Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts,
Calendars, tap the Sync button under Calendars, and specify a time period (such
as Events 3 Months Back) of messages to include during a sync.
If your company manages its email, contacts, and calendars using
Microsoft Exchange, you can tie the iPad into the system with little fuss.
1.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars and tap Add Account.
2.
Tap the Microsoft Exchange button.
3.
Enter your email address, username, and password. Tap Next.
4.
After the information is verified, tap Next again.
5.
Enable the services you want to sync (mail, contacts, and calendars)
and tap the Save button. After a few minutes, the data transfers.
