Calendar sync

[J. A.]

Hello!

I've got an Android Smartphone (Samsung Galaxy S III), a notebook (Windows 8) and an iPad 2. I use the iCloud- Calendar to add my tasks and appointments.
Is there any way I can get my Samsung-planner and the Windows Live calendar synced?

Since you have an Android Smart phone, why not go the other way...put all your stuff into Google (contacts and calender) and use that it update your iPad. This is what I do and it works great. I think Google works best for this.

Thank you for the good advice. I'm actually working on it. Google already syncs with my iPad, but I still haven't got a clue how to sync with my Windows Live Mail. There are a few calendars missing (I installed private calendars in Gmail, that don't show up).

You have to turn on syncing for your extra calendars.

If you have set up your GMail as an Exchange account, be sure to follow these instructions: Set up Google Sync with iOS Calendar - Google Apps Help

For the the default GMail setup (IMAP), you can go here to add the extra calendars: https://www.google.com/calendar/iphoneselect


I can't help with Microsoft's Live Mail.

I'm afraid I didn't make myself clear, now that I read my posts.

The sync between iCal and Google Calendar works pretty well. I add my tasks on the iPad, and my Android syncs instantly. However, this doesn't work the other way, as I found out today. I still have to fix this.

But I still can't sync my PC so that it shows all my calendars that I installed in Google. Here I'd need some good advice.
