Syncing Email, Calendars, and Contacts

Today I decided to try syncing my Bishop Verot email, calendar, and contacts to my iPad. I assumed this would be fairly simple and for the most part it was and should be even for an inexperienced user.

Rather than list the steps, I am just going to paste the steps I used: http://support.google.com/a/users/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=138740

I did find that the steps listed above will work well in getting the calendar and email apps to sync. They will not help with getting the contacts to sync. In order to do that, I recommend downloading and installing the Contact Import and Export for Google App from the iTunes store. It is published by G.P. Imports, Inc.

You may also wish to download and install the Gmail app, rather than using the native iPad email app. The setup is a little easier, and the contacts are integrated into the email for mailing, though it does not appear that you can look up contact info through it.

The BVHS calendar looks great in the calendar app and the email app is very simple to use.
