How To Sync Outlook Calendar With iPad Air, iPad Pro and Mini

This guide simplifies establishing 2-way syncing between Outlook and any iPad model – iPad Air, iPad Pro or mini – in just 5 minutes, with the least amount of hassle, ensuring you’re up and running with your new device as quickly and effortlessly as possible. Once you’re up and running with all the basics, you’ll be ready to start your new iPad life, and we’re here to help you do just that!

Importance of Syncing iPad and Outlook Calendar

You use Outlook because it is fast, effective, and the whole world supports it – it powers our mail and our appointments, and our businesses demand it. A synchronized life enables us to move seamlessly between devices – adding new appointments to your computer automatically updates your iPad.

With all of your appointments on all of your devices, you’re not fully dependent on any one device. So in the event that one of your devices fails, you simply use another. Conversely, there’s no repetition. Add or delete an appointment on your iPad and it automatically appears (or disappears) on all your other devices. A true time-saver since you don’t need to repeat the same process on each device. Two- way syncing between Outlook Calendar and your iPad also protects your data in the event a device is lost or stolen.

Solving Common Issues Syncing Outlook Calendar with iPad

When you are trying to sync your data from Outlook, especially Calendar, with your iOS tablet of any generation, following are some useful tips that could save you hours of troubleshooting:

Easy Setup. With Apple iCloud, you need to create a different Outlook folder and move your data to it, putting up with problems – mail and other things.  Then, when it gets to iPad, you’re left with no Tasks – only Reminders.

Convenient and Reliable. iCloud sync is usually reliable but sometimes contacts, calendar events, or other content doesn’t sync between all your devices. For example, you must be logged into iCloud using the same account on all your devices and ensure your devices are configured to set time and date automatically.

After the installation you can set up synchronization. Choose which data you want to sync, for example you can sync Outlook Calendar with iCloud. You can synchronize data such as emails, contacts, calendars or tasks. Schedule the synchronization process and iCloud Control Panel for Windows will start synchronization automatically.
